"Where's this "Europe" thing? Please don't use strange, unexplained terms. Ah, there's a bright-blue link to it: thanks, I'll look it up immediately. Same for "North America"—please write for non-experts." - Tony1

[edit] Noticed something

Characters of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, I think a newbie just created this article...could you tell him? I'm not sure what to say. Judgesurreal777 05:20, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wave of de-merge spreads to Xenogears articles

Hi, remember that wave of new user(s) unilaterally de-merging redirected FF articles? It seems the phenomena is spreading to the Xenogears/Xenosaga articles, with User:Havesmite. Since you were the one to organise these merging and transwikifications, I thought I'd give you a notice. Kariteh 10:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blue spatter

Thanks, Tyler. While on that subject, my attention was drawn to this appalling guideline. I intend to do something about it. Wikipedia_talk:Build_the_web#Query_over_guideline_status. Tony 00:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Don't worry, be happy!

You haven't done anything wrong, it is a natural reaction that many are mad, but it doesn't mean they are right to be, the policy guidelines have been pointing this way for a while, and it is fitting that we should trail blaze by actually following those policies lol. Just take a break man! :) Judgesurreal777 06:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

All the best Tyler, your a great wikipedian, now GO RELAX! :) :) Judgesurreal777 06:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger crazyness

Hey, sorry I haven't been around the past few days. My computer broke (and remains broken) while other issues conspired to keep me busy. Anyway, don't take the backlash from the merges so hard and don't try to feel responsible for the hastiness and ultimate fiasco. You never got over-excited or pushed over-zealously (from what I saw) so it's not right that you take the fall for it. Oh well, it looks like it's mostly over now. Let's quit whining and build an encyclopedia! Axem Titanium 03:51, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] An amusing tidbit...

Have you seen Characters of Final Fantasy Tactics lately? I am highly amused. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Star Wars

Alright, well it looks like I'll be working on both ROTJ and the main Star Wars article in light of the new FT criteria. I had question though, do you think the infobox is appropriate? It seems as though these are for individual films and to add them to series is rather redundant and crowdy (considering the number of people that are involved in the series).

[edit] voyage

Hi. I was just wondering if you might like to comment on the FAC of an article I have writte, Voyage: Inspired by Jules Verne, considering you have experience in game articles on the Final Fantasy series. thanks if you do find the time to help out. Any critiques are always welcome. --Paaerduag 07:19, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You like tags?

This article or section is suffering from tag overload.
Those responsible have been sacked.

Here's a good tag to add to an articl ewith too many tags. hbdragon88 23:46, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Technically, I still have it around; I moved it to User:Hbdragon88/userpage and archived my talk page before requesting the deletion of both. Now I'm back, but I like having no userpage, so I haven't yet restored it. hbdragon88 22:39, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] fiction

That was the link you provided. Tony 08:35, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't have done that if you hadn't provided the link to it. I'd always assume that such a link went to what you wanted me to look at. Tony 13:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] your draft

I do think it should be in the indicative as far as possible, avoiding "must" and "should", don't you, with the possible exception of the opening statement? Tony 14:12, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

You mean complying with the guideline will be "touchy"? Are a lot of existing articles going to have to be changed because of this?

My argument at NFC (a nest of vipers) and MOS, which is currently being overhauled, has been that to say how it "is" done, which establishes a more cooperative, friendly tone (could be bossy otherwise). It's still pretty strong to say "Blah is done this way", rather than "Do blah this way", or "Blah should/must be done this way", which soon become bleached. Then, of course, when you really do need to mark a point, using "should/must" carries a lot of weight. The FA criteria have been transformed in this way, too. But it's up to you; I didn't want to change it if you weren't happy (which you're not). Tony 15:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] karmichael hunt

Could you copyedit Karmichael Hunt, It would be much appreciated. SpecialWindler talk 21:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

I meant to put my comments on user_talk:Tony1's talk page, don't know how I got that wrong, but thanks for catching and correcting. Fredwerner 08:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dear Tyler!


For absolutely no reason other than cheering your talk page up (and you! ;) I'll drop all these flowers here! :) I hope you forgive me for not replying right away... these last couple of days have been quite busy, trust me. You're not gonna believe this (I hardly believe the coincidence myself!) but just hours before I saw you popping at my watchlist when you posted at RFPP, I was curious to find out when is your wikibirthday and I did a quick check of your oldest contribs... and saw the Xenosaga article! Imagine my surprise when I saw the RFPP request... ;) Have a beautiful day! Love, Phaedriel - 11:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
