[edit] Speedy deletion of Wikipedia:WikiProject EA Games

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:WikiProject EA Games, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

this was a WikiProject that never made it off the ground.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. xenocidic (talk) 20:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 24 WikiProject

Hello there, I see you are on the 24 WikiProject. It's been quite dead for some time now, and me personally, I intend to revive it. I considered maybe even a 24 Portal, i see the project founder hasn't been on Wikipedia for nearly a year. What are your thoughts on the project? Are you still interested in it? And would you help revive it? Let me know, I would intend to help out a lot, maybe "take over" the founders position, well not take over, but possibly help lead the project? Was just a thought and I wanted your input. My talk page would be the best place. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 19:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


Note, the above message is what Steve Crossin asked me to say to you. The Helpful One (Review) 18:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Okay, well reread the project page, and then have a look at the new category that was made, it sorts articles by their quality. Then, feel free to re-add yourself to the list of helpers. But read the project page first. And, I'm the co-ordinator now, as no-one else stepped up to the job. I've just had a stack of deleted 24 images restored, and I've written fair use rationales for them. You should read our goals too. Post back to me on my talk page once you read it. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 00:56, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Tom, I see you got a message from the 24 proj too. We should design it like the Xbox project. You should add the infobox w/ the 24 logo. You know the stuff you normally do. I'll work on the in the middle stuff. DJS--DJS24 (talk) 01:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Sure, I'll put in the infobox but I'll do some more later. I'm busy. BW21. --Blackwatch21 (talk) 01:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Just a quick question, I saw you put the founder in the info box. I don't seek to discredit him at all, but he hasn't edited for nearly a year. Perhaps we should put (inactive) next to his name, and maybe add me as the co-ordinator? Someone suggested "refounder" but I rejected it. Hpwever, I have a lot of ideas for the project, and I feel it would be best if I'm in the info box, as I'm kinda the co-ordinator. Is that OK? Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 01:43, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Great work with the portal :D I'm impressed. :D. I'll check that off our list. Good job. Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 09:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Signature

Testing my signature. --BlackWatch21 01:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

That's not bad, I thought about changing the "24" to a bold blue, but I haven't had time to change it. --DJS24 (talk) 17:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Cool, but there's no link to your talk page. xenocidic (talk) 17:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
You can't see it because your on my talkpage. BW21. --BlackWatch21 20:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
*facepalm*. Good point. xenocidic (talk) 17:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WW Xbox logo

Yea, I noticed... It's unfortunate. And that, and another issue, has discouraged Thingg to the point of him leaving Wikipedia for an indefinite period of time =(. xenocidic (talk) 19:48, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

BW21 - I responded the the admin who deleted it, so don't reply. DJS --DJS24 21:27, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Good find, but I think we tried that argument already BW. Unfortunately we need to come up with something original for our WP. xenocidic (talk) 03:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

BW - I see you commented to the admin on your findings. I have also responded to him a couple of minutes ago, so I will handle it from here on. BTW Tom, we should something in to replace it for now, even the word one we had before the most recent logo. Thanks DJS --DJS24 16:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Xbox project logo

I'm sorry about that little thing yesterday. I've been kind of stressed out in RL and the image being deleted and that admin requesting that the lists of funny vandalisms be deleted kind of put me over the top and I overreacted. I am now back and I'm sorry about that. I will try to make a new logo that looks similar to the old one but is not copyrightable. It won't be quite as good, but it's better than nothing. I'll probably have it up sometime this weekend, but I'm not sure exactly when because I do have some stuff going on in RL. Regards. Thingg 23:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC) P.S. I'm also posting this on DJS24 and xenocidic's talk pages. P.P.S Just wanted to say that the admin on Commons was correct in deleting the image. It did count as a derivative work. I just wasn't sure where the line was drawn and apparently I guessed wrong.

I'd say so, yes. xenocidic (talk) 23:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Xboxp assessment

Do you think it's really worthwhile for us to be assessing articles as well...?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Xenocidic (talkcontribs) 19:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC

I dunno, I just think that it's going to be a lot of unnecessary work - and to be honest we don't have that many 'active' members - at least as far as I've seen. I just don't see the benefit in doing it. But if we are going to keep the assessment we should at least modify the assessment guidelines as they are a direct copy of WPVG. xenocidic (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
The quality scale is a direct copy, it even still references the VG WikiProj. xenocidic (talk) 02:36, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
The highest article grade that can be assigned by a single reviewer from WikiProject Video games
It's not that I'm trying to shoot down what you're doing, I just don't see how having an article graded by three different organizations (Wikipedia, VGProj, XboxProj) is going to be useful... imo It just bloats ours project box. xenocidic (talk) 02:40, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

again, I just don't see the point of having it assessed by both the VGproj and the Xboxproj. But its your call, I suppose. xenocidic (talk) 02:47, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WW Xbox logo

I've got a potentially free image made, and I'm awaiting a response from an experienced user on whether it is free or not. Sorry about not telling you that. I was going to tell you that quite a while ago, but it somehow slipped my mind... Thingg 01:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

update: The guy I asked hasn't responded. I asked at a different place that will hopefully get a faster response. Thingg 01:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

I would, but am retired, sorry. Have fun! RkOrToN 01:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

From Wiki, it interferes with my life and... I just quit. RkOrToN 02:46, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello Again

Can you please review this RFC and make comment. There is a campaign to harass me from editing, and I believe my edits are being mis-represented. If you have a moment, can you please have a look.

Thank-you. Wageslave (talk) 23:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] your WW Xbox logo

Since I can't seem to make an image that is similar to the old logo without having it qualify as a derivative work, (and your logo is pretty cool), do you care if upload a png version of your logo to remove some of the jpeg artifacting and add transparency? Just wanted to ask because you did spend some time on that logo. Regards. Thingg 14:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Kkkkmmmm.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Kkkkmmmm.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Ricky81682 (talk) 16:44, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Xbox

Hi. I was about to start editing the article for Dead Space, and I've got my eye on a few other articles for upcoming Xbox games, so I thought I'd join up with Wikiproject Xbox. But I see there's not been much activity on the talk page etc in the last few months. Is the project still active? The other thing I was wondering, and it looks like you're the man to ask, is there a style guide for video game articles? JMalky (talk) 20:50, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Great. Let me know if there's anything I can help with (I'll keep an eye on the project page as well, of course). JMalky (talk) 08:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of List of upcoming Xbox 360 games

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of upcoming Xbox 360 games, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Silver Sonic Shadow (talk) 20:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor CTU agents in 24

There's a current change to an article that I feel should have the discussion of the whole Wkiproject. It's the article above, the old version is this and the new version is the current version. I think some discussion on which version would be best would be wise in this situation. Feel free to discuss this on the article talk page. Thanks, SteveBot (owner) 21:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
