I missed that other section of vandalism. Kukini 12:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Happy to help.

Hey, thanks. Glad I was useful. ☺

[edit] MonstersGame

Hi there. I just edited the article on MG (Monstersgame) this august 7 and found out that it was deleted. I think you're the last one who did the previous edit. I was disappointed because a certain editor, "Mailer diablo" deleted the article while I was on the act of editing it. I found that act as bad ethics. Fortunately I saved beforehand the gameplay section. the "voted for deletion" mark links to the votation held last june 15 or 16: the 'no consensus' result. there was no link to the most recent votation last august 2. I think that votation was biased and speeded up since only 3 editors voted with reasons seemingly illogical to me. If you have the copy for the last entry, help me expand on the article. Thanks Jordz

I wasn't the one who made the previously edit, but I did rewrite and wikified the article shortly after it was created. This was because the article sounded too much like a game guide and before that an advert. I didn't save a copy of what I had wrote but do I know that administrators can still view the page history. I'm sure that one would give you a copy if you're willing to improve the article. I hate to say it, but I kind of regret rewriting the article. As many people had said, it's not a very notable game (currently) and I found it very difficult to write without making it sound like a guide. I guess I was aiming for an article that's something like the Kingdom of Loathing but I don't think that MonstersGame is large enough for that just yet. However if you do expand the article to a state that's immune to deletion, I'll make contributions to it. I agree with you that the votes for deletion should have lasted a lot longer, especially since there was not single vote for Speedy Deletion.

[edit] EcoQuest

Hey there, I noticed on your userpage that one of the things you intend to do is work on the EcoQuest article. I myself would love to help, but, regrettably, haven't played the first part and didn't get very far in the second. However, I think one of the first things that should be done is splitting the page into articles on the separate games; then one can go about adding images and the like. What do you think of this? If there's any help you need with the article – something that does not require knowledge of the games' actual content – I'd be glad to give you a hand. Cheers. Cromag 21:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer Cromag. I'm not completely sure when I'll get started expanding it. At the moment, all I have is just a few notes. To begin with, I don't think I'll write enough to split the article into two, but it doesn't really matter to me if its split in its current state. I'll just focus on the first game to begin with. I also never finished the second one either, but I'll have it completed once I start extending its article.

[edit] bsdgames

When will you create bsdgames?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:212.247.27.135 (talk • contribs) 09:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC +13).

Sorry about my late reply. I haven't been very busy with Wikipedia lately. At this current time, I only have a few notes for the article and I also plan to work on EcoQuest's article as well, so it's not going to be anytime soon. I will get working on it eventually, but it's not my highest priority. I have no problems if anyone wants to create it before me however.


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Familyguyonsouthpark.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Familyguyonsouthpark.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Little Mermaid 2 Poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The Little Mermaid 2 Poster.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 13:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
