[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia

I'd just like to personally welcome you to Wikipedia. I spotted the article you had written at X-COM: Interceptor, and for your first article, it's pretty good. I had actually nominated the game to be a Gaming Collaboration, but it didn't get enough votes. Take a look, it's part of the Wikipedia project on Computer Games, which can be found at WP:CVG if your interested. Happy editing. - Hahnchen 16:52, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Thanks for you kind words. I thought it was a game that needed covering, as the X-Com games have a very dedicated fanbase, an dI thought I would start up one for others to complete. Thanks for nominating me!

[edit] Explain me then

Explain me this then; How can we create a Category were all movie with a rape theme can be united, like the already existing category of films with a pedophile theme? I mean, why some categories are accepted and other not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.9.37.219 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Moved comment

Mr. Nightshirt, I sincerely apologize for my questionable actions on the Hudson High School page. I understand the severity of the incident and want you to know it was only changed for a moment's time in order to prove to my friend that he needed to delete another such passage. Please do not delete my legitimite posts, such as the one referencing Enya's song, as it is factual and significant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KennethWatanabe (talk • contribs)

[edit] Good work!

Re your message: So I see. I also noticed that he inserted a few choice comments about me on his Talk page after I blocked him. Looks like he got reblocked yesterday, too. I imagine that he will be back and earn an even longer block sometime soon. I really don't remember this guy though. I think I was only the blocking admin as I didn't revert anything of his. Thank you for helping out with reverting vandalism. =) -- Gogo Dodo 21:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] GAC backlog elimination drive

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 01:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

You appear to have warned me for vandalism which I did not commit at the tent article. In actual fact, I reverted the vandalism which already existed (and warned the actual vandal). Please take care. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 15:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, you noticed and fixed it! Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 15:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] July 2007 GAC backlog elimination drive

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

[edit] GA Review of the "Development history of The Elder Scrolls series"

Thanks for the review, Mouse Nightshirt! I have raised some questions over at that article's talk page. Please address them when you find the time. Thanks again, Geuiwogbil 15:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification, Mouse Nightshirt. I believe I've implemented most of your suggestions. Could you take a look at the article again? Many thanks! Geuiwogbil 16:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I've renominated the article for GAship. I believe I've addressed all of your concerns. Geuiwogbil 17:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the support, and greater thanks still for the criticism! I hope I wasn't being too aggressive in re-nominating the article for GAship only a few hours after it failed. Geuiwogbil 21:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
It's tomorrow! Care to re-review? Geuiwogbil 21:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks ever so much! No time like today for bettering the world with better articles, right? Every piece of work, whether writing or reviewing, brings us closer to a full compendium of human knowledge, right? ;) Geuiwogbil 21:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Oops! Silly me. Sorry to bother you. I'll let INFO-CENTER do his thing. Geuiwogbil 22:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good article reivew

When you review an article, please put your name on the GAC page please, as I have been reviewing the article as well and was about to pass it, which looking at your notes, would have been a mistake, but if I had known that you had been reviewing it, I would have reviewed a different article. themcman1 talk 15:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

No i don't disagree. I suppose it's my fault for not looking at the talk page befor proceeding! themcman1 talk 15:50, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


The problems you highlighted in your review of The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game have been fixed, and notes have been left on the talk page. You may want to have another look at it. Thanks for reviewing! --Grimhelm 20:47, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the userpage barnstar. I really feel that Phaedriel deserves it, though, since s/he designed it (as I mention in my "wikipedia bio"). It really is nice, isn't it? Awadewit | talk 02:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA's

Hi, thanks for reviewing European Commission and Council of the European Union, there has been such a backlog, thought it would never end! Thanks a lot for your review and comments! I'm glad it was interesting. - J Logan t/c: 10:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

Thanks for the useful criticism of BX (sternwheeler) at Talk:BX (sternwheeler). CindyBo (the main editor) has improved the article by extending references, removing weasel words and general editing improving it considerably. Content concerning the financial situation of the steamer has been added as far as it can be sourced at this time but she and I have discussed how we might come up with criticism to balance things off and have been unable to find any criticism. As to "saying so" about there being none, we can figure out how to cite sources for things that can be found, but not how to cite authority to say criticism can't be found. Is there something you can point us to or suggest as to how we might do that? --KenWalker | Talk 20:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. I have passed it on to CindyBo as well. We will see what we can do about the info box sources. --KenWalker | Talk 21:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help you have been with GA review on this article. It is the first time I have had anything to do with the process which I found interesting and useful. CindyBo has done a series of related articles that are valuable additions to Wikipedia and I am glad to see her work recognized in this way. --KenWalker | Talk 00:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Falk GA Review

Greetings! Thank you very much for choosing to review the David Falk article. I have now made all the changes you suggested on the talk page. The article is ready for re-review. Joseph Petek 02:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm very glad you pointed out that I had no proper reference for his birth year. In fact, I had found an article that said he was 50 in 2001, so I had assumed his birth year was 1951. Actually, that was incorrect... because of course if he was born later in the year than the article was printed (June 18), then he could have been born in 1950.
But with just a bit of digging, I have definitive proof of his birth year, at the very least, even though I am still unable to find his exact birth date. He was born in 1950... and here's how I know:
I've added three references to articles that list Falk's age. #2 says that he was 40 on August 14, 1991 (which seems to suggest 1951)... but #3 says that he was 46 on November 17, 1996 (which seems to suggest 1950). This proves that his birthday falls between August 14 and November 17, and that his actual birth year is definetely 1950.
Isn't this good enough? I've seen plenty of Wikipedia entries that don't list exact birth dates... It even says on the Biographies of Living persons guidelines that some people consider birth date private information, and don't want it listed (identity theft, etc.). I'm hoping this article can pass GA if this is the only problem, because Falk's birthday simply isn't out there, short of contacting Falk himself, which I don't know how to do... Joseph Petek 15:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering when you can look at the article again... if you want more changes I'm going to want a little time to implement them. Joseph Petek 20:06, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
The additional changes you requested have been made. Joseph Petek 00:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
One question: now that the article has passed for GA, am I supposed to request that the WikiProjects it falls under confirm it as GA on their own quality scales, or do I just change them all to GA on the talk page myself? I'm relatively new to Wikipedia... I don't know these things :). Joseph Petek 15:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Ah, well it looks like I have my answer: the Biography quality scale seems to say that an article is GA for the project if it is GA in general. I'm going to go ahead and change the B to a GA in this case... if I am violating some rule by doing so (since I'm the primary author), or if I have construed things wrongly, please kindly correct me! Joseph Petek 16:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA Reviews

Hi. Just dropping by to request that you put in a line about WP:GA/R in your closings. Some editors will just renominate at GAC if they don't realize they can nominate for remediation. Regards, LaraLoveT/C 11:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem. Also noticed I messed the link up. My bad! :) LaraLoveT/C 12:37, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belarus at the Olympics

Quick question, is this what you mean by sourcing the table? Belarus_at_the_Olympics#Medal_table. If so, what I had to do is modify the medals table to include the source section. Thanks for the tips you gave (and sorry for lack of images). User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 22:20, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

One of the other issues you had was POV. It wasn't intentional, but what I am doing now is finding citations about doping problems. If there is one thing I admit Belarus has a problem with, it is drugs. Public funding, I can check. Prose is one of my worst points. Sourcing I am still working on. It should be ready for GA in about a week or so. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 22:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
I made some more additions to the page. Honestly, if you still gave me those 7 days, I could have easily fixed up what you wanted. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:19, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Canavan

cheers for the review. i have addressed the issues now i think, because moet of the references were already in the article, so I just used them in the places you said.--Macca7174talk 10:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Review on The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game

Try take a look at what the concerns are in the review at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Good articles/GA nominees task force/GAC backlog elimination drive#GA reviews with concerns and find that article's section. It shouldn't be hard to address the trivia section. You're not in any danger of being stripped of your awards because you completed 11 so that even if Lord of the Rings game review is not considered as good, you still completed 10 satisifying reviews, and still eligible for Tirless Contributor Barnstar. What Lara, Giggy, and I were talking about is that some made around 5 reviews but almost all are bad reviews so the count for "good review" is way below 5, and hence could be stripped with barnstar if the community reaches this consensus. But once again, we have to wait for other opinions as barnstar has never been stripped before. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I don't know if you remember, but you put this article on hold in a GA review a while ago. I've just done a bit of work on it and renominated it (third time lucky?) and I wondered if you wanted to have a look. Cheers anyway, Chrisieboy (talk) 22:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Redirect of K608i

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on K608i, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because K608i is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting K608i, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
