[edit] Centronics

I noted that you created the page Centronics (disambiguation). If you are trying to create a disambiguation (dab) page; you might want to look at an example such as Eagle Scout. If you need any help, just reply here. --Gadget850 ( Ed) 11:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] moves

Please do NOT use cut and paste to move an article - it destroys the history of the article. Use the "Move" tab at the top of the screen to move articles. I've fixed the one you just did. Just letting you know. Thanks! :) --Golbez 22:42, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

==Please Use Edit Summaries==

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

[edit] SD Gundam edits

Just looked over your edits to some of the SD Gundam pages...are you sure about these? For one thing, you seem to have added characters from Musha Retsuden Zero to the Musha Retsuden page. I'm also not sure about the whole Lacroa thing. I can't read Japanese but I own all 3 copies of Musha Retsuden and it's pretty firmly centered about Ark. The closest it comes to Lacroa is (assuming it's using SDGF's shared world idea) a battle which occurs in orbit.--HellCat86 18:15, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moe drawing

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! --Vox Causa 01:10, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Britney Spears

The ref you added was removed because the refs already there fully support the text and, therefore, additional links are indeed gratuitous. Further, the top "stories" at celebrities.netscape.com come from, as I write this, such sites as usmagazine.com, falseicon.com, bollywood-stars.net and intogossip.blogspot.com, none of which qualifies as a reliable source.

If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article.

[edit] Dynasty Warriors 2 and PSP merge

Excuse me do you have any evidence that Dynasty Warriors PSP is the PSP version of Dynasty Warriors 2? From what I can tell, it seems to be more of a port for Dynasty Warriors 4. Da Big Bozz 03:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Gregory Kohs

An editor has nominated Gregory Kohs, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gregory Kohs (second nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] Publish info on Dragon Ball Online

Could you please cite the source? Thanks. --Zeno McDohl (talk) 01:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emoji

I've reverted your changes to emoji, as I believe these characters are unique to Japan. If you have evidence to the contrary, please post about it on Talk:Emoji first. Jpatokal (talk) 06:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yoot Tower Edits

Congratulations on adding the expansions to the Yoot Tower page. It's here. TheListUpdater (talk) 23:05, 4 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Edits to Akzidenz Grotesk article

Hi Jacob Poon. The name of the typeface is Akzidenz Grotesk. It is a registred trademark and there is no variation of the name. I wonder if you intend to include a variant of pronunciation? "Accidenz" is a transliteration of a mispronunciation. It is not proper German, and though I have heard it pronounced similarly it is not correct. I have twice seen it used in print, used to convey its pronunciation during delivery of a lecture and was followed by the notation "[sic]" to acknowledge the faulty spelling. Wiki Manual of Style (MOS) suggests you could provide the proper pronunciation using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and perhaps then followed with a notation of it "as sometimes also pronounced as ..." It is important that if you do this that use use wiki's standard of International Phonetic Alphabet for the pronunciation guide, elsewise we face a huge banner that we have incorrect non-standard, non-IPA pronunciation at the top of the article. Thanks.CApitol3 (talk)

Hi Jacob Poon. Thee must be some confusion. Please take a look at the edit history. I did not blank the page or delete the whole article. I undid your last edit. No need for all upper case shouting when no irreversible harm is done (wiki saves every version). A basic tenet of wikipedia is to assume good faith. Thanks.

P.S. I realize now that you had additional edits. I did not know that. In the future you may "sign" your comments by typing three tildes (~). CApitol3 (talk)


[edit] Additions to Myriad (typeface)

Do you have any source or can you even point to a link for your mention of "Casey" - a quick Google search or three doesn't seem to find anything. Who or what is "KCRC"? In general, a "remix" typeface by a third party that simply takes parts of two existing typefaces, one for letters and another for numbers, is simply not particularly notable. Unauthorized and/or illegal knockoffs are really commonplace, but generally not worth mentioning (unless it's the lack of authorization/legality that is the notable thing, usually related to the person or company doing it being high profile).
