Darth Bane

If he's in a video game or something, we can get a screenshot of it. That'll be allowed to remain. Deckiller 03:27, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I think so. Deckiller 03:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

George Bush

Why did you revert my edit? It creates an ugly table because of two picture codes that weren't finished? There was a picture with an unfinished picture code sao it said something like blahblah.jpg|left but didn't show the picture. When I finish the code it linked it to a picture higher up (that didn't have an ending making it a table. I re-edited it to get rid of it and you reverted it...

The problem with what you did, is that you just put "Prime Minister," which can refer to many people. Anyway, I fixed that whole formatting problem, but the old caption is still there. Rory096 05:01, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Planet of twilight image

Go to Star Wars dot come and find their Cargo Bay listing for Planet of Twilight and put the URL in Image:Planet of twilight.jpg. If you don't OrphanBot will try to delete it. Jedi6 10:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes I have read the book. Jedi6 10:14, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Good Job

You deserved it. I thought those article were never going to get done. --Jedi6 10:47, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Planet of Twilight copyvio

You can't simply copy Wookieepedia's article and not credit the source of the plot summary- not only are you violating Wookieepedia's GFDL by not linking back to them, you are also comitting regular copyvio by presenting the publisher's summary as our own! Don't do it again. --maru (talk) contribs 19:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Vans_warped_tour.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Vans_warped_tour.JPG. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Changes

Hey, all I really did was fix the capitalization of the headings. The headings were in caps; the first word may be in caps, but the others should be lowercase unless they are proper nouns. Deckiller 17:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Edit counts

Hey, you know you can just link to an edit counter like Interiot's tool rather than manually updating, right? --maru (talk) contribs 18:19, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Warped Tour

The edits you made are pretty sweet! It makes the page look a lot better. Great job. Thanks! -Myxomatosis 07:59, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Black Fleet Crisis

Help... How should I set up the article because [[Star Wars: Black Fleet Crisis: #1 Before The Storm]] comes up Star Wars: Black Fleet Crisis: Dark jedi requiem 01:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

That is because you made the title too long. Just make the titles as The Black Fleet Crisis, Before the Storm, Shield of Lies and Tyrant's Test. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Redirect loop

Hey there, it should be fixed now ^_^. Deckiller 21:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Sith Characters

Yes merge it. Jedi6-(need help?) 02:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal

Hi, Dark jedi requiem. Well, I'm not really a anemonefish expert, but you're right in the fact that I have created Australian sprat, Tomato Clownfish, Sebae Clownfish, Sebae Anemone, Maroon Clownfish, Orange Skunk Clownfish, and Bubble Tip Anemone. I would like to join the portal or group, but I am not familiar with portals and groups. Sidious1701 12:17, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I just read the Wikipedia:Portals page and I get it know. Yes, I would like a portal on that subject. Sidious1701 01:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Me again. I think the portal is great. I went to the WikiProject and saw that it had a participants section. Can I become a participant? As you can see, I like clownfish.Sidious1701 04:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Category:Marine life

I notice that you have recently created Category:Marine life. Is this really useful? I mean, the world's oceans contain so many taxa that a single category for all of them isn't really informative. At the very least, it would need to be split up somehow (e.g. marine fish, marine crustaceans, marine mammals, etc.), otherwise it's pretty useless overall. --Stemonitis 07:37, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I made Marine Life to categorize what the Marine Life portal/wikiproject hopes to complete. That way it will have a comprehensive list of everything that should be done. Not only that but it can form a basis for general searching within a broad topic. Two categories that do this are, Category:Wildlife of Africa and Category:Islam. Dark jedi requiem 23:53, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I realised that the category was associated with a (two-man at most) Wikiproject, but I don't think that justifies its existence. Each of the categories you mentioned above contains only a couple of hundred articles (not counting sub-categories). Even if Category:Marine life were divided somehow, like into Category:Plankton, Category:Nekton and Category:Benthos, those categories would still be enormous and largely unhelpful. Ecological classification on so broad a scale seems to me to be pointless. A category for organisms living only on hydrothermal vents is a manageable size, but everything that lives in the sea is not. Note also the existence of Category:Aquatic organisms. --Stemonitis 05:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I suppose we disagree. If there was a broad topic I enjoy, say 'African Wildlife' I could browse the hypothetical 'Category: African Animalia'. That way I could find Amur Leopard, Tree Kingfisher, and Tsetse fly. Although this is in no way the easiest way to find a particular species it is a good way as a general search for a broad category. It's not designed to work like finding say, the Barbary Lion in 'Category: Lions', as the category only has 12 pages listed, but rather is made for much more generalized open-ended browsing. The hypothetical 'Category: African Animalia' would be great for both looking through pages for a topic and also to see how complete Wikipedia is for the group. I do not disagree that categories for marine fish, marine crustaceans, marine mammals are helpful (or possibly needed) because if someone didn't want to look through pages for "everything that lives in the sea" they could try browsing increasingly specific categories (marine invertabrates>marine crustations>marine crabs>Raninoidea>Symethidae). However, not everyone will need such specific terms. One who is looking for a grouping of articles with more than just Symethidae, will look at Raninoidea. One who wants more than Raninoidea in a category will look in marine crabs. One who wants more than marine crabs will look in marine invertabrates. One who wants more than marine invertabrates will look into marine life. Dark jedi requiem 07:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

So, just to clarify, do you really expect all the marine organisms on Wikipedia to be classified under Category:Marine life (presumably in subcategories)? All the marine crustaceans (but not all of Category:Crustaceans, because many are freshwater or terrestrial), all the marine molluscs (likewise), all the marine fish, and everything else should be marked somehow as "marine life"? Are there also plans to establish Category:Terrestrial organisms? It would probably make more sense to work upwards from well-defined communities, like hydrothermal vents and coral reefs than to start at the top (land, sea, soil) and work down. Who cares that both Northern krill and the Australian sprat both live in the sea when they live thousands of miles apart and have nothing to do with each other? --Stemonitis 08:20, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Again it works the same way as looking indiscriminatly for something in the ocean. The same exact way as looking indiscriminatly for something that lives in a/around sea vents. Even though the broader they get, the bigger the category gets they can be useful. People use Category: Muslims even though the list is large. Granted, more specific lists, for instance Category: Muslim political writers and Category: Muslim scholars would be more helpful for someone looking for more specific results but the broad Category: Muslims is still there. There is also Category: Islam which has both Emirate of Sicily (which only mentions 'Islam' in one sentence: "Christians freely converted to Islam.") and Jahl (Arabic word for ignorance which some feel has Muslim connotation). Both are very different, but fit in the same category. Just like Marine Life. Dark jedi requiem 16:15, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

But who looks for a random Islam-related article? Who looks for a random thing that lives in the sea? And who's going to categorise everything like that on the off-chance that someone will want to search like that? The existence of another fairly meaningless category is no reason to set up a new one. A category like Organisms living on hydrothermal vents enables a reader to say "so Kiwa hirsuta lives on hydrothermal vents; what other organisms live in the same sort of place? What else might I find in association with K. hirsuta?". I can't see that something which leads that reader to the answer Australian sprat helps at all. Seriously, I applaud your efforts to increase Wikipedia's marine life content; I just don't think a category to cover it all is desirable. Why not have an interdisciplinary WikiProject with no specific category of its own? --Stemonitis 16:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Vanna (band)

I appreciate you contacting me about this article. I generally like to slap a prod or notability tag on something before applying a speedy delete, just to give editors time; often article creators don't realize this is to help them and they subsequently remove it without improvement, only to have their work disappear db-style. Thanks for expanding this article. I will warn you that they don't quite appear to meet WP:MUSIC, so as soon as any more notable info surfaces add it ASAP. It wouldn't surprise me if an over-zealous editor were to tag this for AfD. I've no plans to list it, but if it does get listed, I'd vote "weak delete" (as of now) just because the band has yet to release a full album... Thanks, Scientizzle 17:52, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for brining it to my attention. I appreciate it -- Samir धर्म 01:40, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Your tagging of Cygnus x1.jpg for deletion

You tagged this image as a duplicate, but did not specify which image on Wikipedia it duplicates. Hence I have untagged it. Please use {{isd|Duplicated image name (without the "Image:" part).ext}} to list the image again. Before listing it for CSD, you should also remove links to this to-be-deleted image from articles which link to it, and replace these links with links to the original NASA image. Thanks! Kimchi.sg 15:17, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Cygnus x1.jpg is not a copyvio. The source specifically says it is "copyright-free material." Kimchi.sg 15:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Cygnus x1.jpg

Hi. You tagged this image for deletion as a copyright violation. NASA images are not copyrighted unless specifically noted as such; I've therefore removed the speedy deletion tag. If you do believe the article should be deleted, please consider taking it to WP:IFD. All the best, Proto///type 15:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Did you check the link provided in the image information? The picture is copyright free, providing sourcing is provided (which it is). Proto///type 15:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I apologise - on further investigation, you were absolutely right. As the image was not the same as the one in the source info, I have speedily deleted it, and will have a word with the uploader. That was some smart work, keep it up! Regards, Proto///type 15:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Really, I should have realised it was a copy vio when I saw who had uploaded it in the first place (see his talk page). Proto///type 15:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
