[edit] Disgaea 2

You obviously haven't played the game, and so really shouldn't be removing content from the article based on ridiculous assumptions, as this is really little more than blatant vandalism. Please don't do so again. Omgwtflolz 13:12, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it's in my PS2 right now, and I spent most of last night playing it. KiTA 17:27, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Why the hell are you claiming that all of that isn't true, then? If you have the game, you can verify them yourself. Why don't you, instead of simply deleting content and claiming that it was made up by someone? Omgwtflolz 19:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Because there was a near riot on about 3 NIS forums I visit because of the text, I was attempting to belay some of that. Since, you know, story spoilers don't belong in a character list anyway. -KiTA 21:07, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sig

It's done in Javascript (which I don't know). You would edit User:KiTA/monobook.js and add in the signature-related content that I have in my monobook.js, replacing it with your signature. After saving and pressing CTRL+F5 to refresh the files, you should be able to click the signature button at the top of the edit page and it will paste in all of the code, instead of pasting in ~~~~. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-03-14 22:21

You can also simply go to my preferences and enter a signature in the "Nickname" field. Checking "Raw text" lets you edit it using wiki formatting. _└ ^VodkaJazz/_talk^┐ 21:33, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] using references

to link to a reference that has already been created, use < ref name=Batman / > (without the extra spaces) the reference → link at the bottom of the page points to #_ref-Batman_0, where Batman is the reference name, and 0 is the instance of the link (because there can be multiple uses of the same reference. Hope that helps! Jabrwock 14:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Please stop adding inappropriate links to Wikipedia. It is considered spamming and will be removed. Thanks. Shadowbot 00:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please stop adding the links to Malal. Our guidelines for external links mean that neither of those links are acceptable. One is in French, which is inappropriate due to this being the English Wikipedia and the other is a fansite. If you continue you will end up being blocked. Thanks, Localzuk^(talk) 00:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Greetings! Specifically, the guidelines state "English language links are strongly preferred in the English-language Wikipedia. It may be appropriate to have a link to a foreign-language site, such as when an official site is unavailable in English, when the link is to the subject's text in its original language or they contain visual aids such as maps, diagrams, or tables, per the guideline on foreign-language sites."

The French site does contain such visual aids, as such I do believe it qualifies as an exception. The "fansite" quotes extensively from the original Games-Workshop source material, and is the only source of such outside of several long out of print (over 20 years OOP, if I understand correctly) books.

The Fansite I will admit would be better served merging the information into the article than merely linking to a website with the information on it. I will look into confirming the "fluff" that is listed on that website and work on editing the Malal article with it, rather than merely linking to the fansite.

I will, however, discontinue linking to either until I can confer with a friend who is an experienced Wikipedia editor who is much more familiar with the policy than I. KiTA 00:53, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Edit war"

It's not an "edit war". It's a "Sillygostly makes the same stubborn edits even though everyone says he's in the wrong". You're going to find that he'll try to do it during the discussion when everyone's back is turned, even when something is STILL under discussion. Watch. JAF1970 (talk) 14:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

JAF, please step back and look at what you have done over the past week or so. Can you not see that to a 3rd party, you appear to be doing the same thing? KiTA (talk) 14:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Your version is fine and acceptable - the "edit" I made was just a quick backtrack, I didn't mean to wreck your contribution - it's fine within the context of the article. JAF1970 (talk) 14:44, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, Gawd. Thankfully JAF1970 has seen the light and is discussing (though still a bit aggressively). Sillygostly should do the same. I'm pretty close to reinforcing the 1RR rule here. Thanks for letting me know, though, now I can watch. Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP!☺} 01:58, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help at Spore (video game)

I've proposed a vote on the terminology debate at Talk:Spore (video game). JAF1970 wants to close it but I don't think all the major players in the discussion have cast their vote. Would you care to add your vote on the matter? Nanobri (talk) 18:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

We want your input at the spore video game mediation, for sure. We've mostly reached a consensus, and I suppose adding more opinions could risk breaking that unity apart. But I really do believe in the spirit of collaboration, and think your opinion can be of help. Right now, the consensus is to display multiple genres in the infobox, along with a link to the section. Which genres and which section, though, is still being disputed. (I think the issues are "do we say strategy or RTS?", and "do we say see below, or see genre, or see gameplay?)
If you look here, you can see what we've got so far. It seems to mostly agreed upon. Thanks for checking in. Randomran (talk) 19:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inappropriate contribution to talk page (don't worry! just letting you know!)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Spore (video game) are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. The section referred to is "Clothes"
