Good luck!

[edit] IDKFA

On cheat code you wrote that IDKFA stands for "ID Kicks Fucking Ass". Do you have any reference to back this statement up? Fredrik | talk 16:45, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Some controversy about this one. See [1] and [2] Richard W.M. Jones

Neither source looks particularly reliable to me. And in either case, I don't think the cheat code is all that famous... so I believe it should be removed from cheat code.

Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way! Fredrik | talk 21:38, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Well, as a DOOM player, I think it's pretty well known. Anyway, it's your call ... I'm very happy to be a Wikipedian but I'm still not sure if you can 'see' my responses to your questions on this page.

I'm a Doom player too, but I don't think I've heard of this one. And note that although the code may be generally accepted to mean something, this meaning may simply have been made up by some random person 10 years ago.

I sent an email to John Carmack. Let's see if he replies :-)

I can see the respones now that I've put this page on my watchlist. Fredrik | talk 00:04, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

See Talk:Cheat code

message from [[User:lkcl|lkcl]: richard, i need some help with Samba TNG! it's a highly contentious and bitterly disputed fork from samba, which, if the samba team had added about 100 lines of code, would never have happened. people are beginning to quite literally mangle the page, believing that they are helping. help, what do i do!


[edit] We Love Katamari

Because, the linked content on Wikibooks doesn't belong on Wikibooks. The site is supposed to be for educationally valuable resources, textbooks and annoted public domain works, things which could be used in actual classroom environments - video game walkthroughs do not really align themselves to this goal. I don't see "P.S. game guides" at the end of "A collection of free educational textbooks and learning materials." Such content is to either be deleted outright or moved to other sites - there is no Wikimedia site for this content, try Wikicities. Janizary 16:52, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image

Just to let you know, the image of Jet Set Willy will be deleted soon because it's an orphaned fair use image. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, Images/Media criteria #5 ('unused copyright images'). I thought I'd give you a heads up before I deleted it, since you're using it on your user page. // Pathoschild 02:10, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I've readded it to the Jet Set Willy page, so it's no longer orphaned. Richard W.M. Jones 10:44, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
No problem, then. // Pathoschild 14:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 3D Monster Maze

Thanks for your kind words. A lot of recent changes that you've seen are a result of comments and insights that followed putting it up at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/3D_Monster_Maze. You're welcome to add more ideas about what this article is missing yet to become an FA, and, of course, to take part in improving it towards that goal! As for your question about my involvement with the game other than playing, I must say that back then (when I encountered the game) I was just 10 years old, and just started my programming (on an Elektronika B3-34, a predecessor of Elektronika MK-61 first, and then in BASIC — first Sharp PC-1245, and than on that very ZX81 where I played The Game).

On the same occasion, let me thank you for your significant contributions to the ZX81 article!

Kind regards, BACbKA 13:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

P.S. I am confused a bit about your significant contributions claim now, btw. The above thanks was based on the assertion you made on your user page (and I am not retracting them as you probably know what you're saying); but what puzzles me is that the history of the ZX81 article doesn't list any "Jones" substring there — did you do anything as an anon? And, come to think of it, the only change you made to the Attribute clash was an anon vandalism revert... did you work from an anon IP/another login in one of these cases?

--BACbKA 21:05, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, the contributions were made from this IP address ... Richard W.M. Jones 21:20, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
I thought so... btw I've read about a way to claim some anon edits (with admins' help, IIRC if you have your own login history attached to that IP as well) and have them moved to your history... --BACbKA 21:31, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Final cleanup/peer review before FAC resubmission

Hi again! Could you please have a quick look at that article's talk page again? In addition to your Sinclair interest, you would also be a great asset there as a native English speaker in the context of the 2nd-person transposition discussion... TIA, --BACbKA 22:10, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism by 80.98.152.142

It's no bot, they're changing their thinking. Can they be blocked pronto? — Graibeard 10:26, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm not an administrator. This can be reported on Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism, but first we must give the user appropriate warnings on their talk page. It's manageable at present - I'm periodically monitoring the two known IP addresses and reverting as necessary. Richard W.M. Jones 11:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshots

I noticed Image:Tranzam-1.png and Image:Tranzam-2.png which you've said are GFDL images. However, as they're game screenshots, I don't think this is correct, so I'm changing them to "game-screenshot". I hope you do not mind. Thank-you. StuartBrady 21:21, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, you're absolutely right about those. Richard W.M. Jones 23:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks. BTW, there aren't any others that I've missed, are there? StuartBrady 23:49, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
Not that I can find right now. But I am planning on adding a bunch more animated screenshots (see Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif) so when I do that I'll be careful to tag them right. Richard W.M. Jones 10:01, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Grammar School at Leeds

The latest few edits to Grammar School at Leeds have added a lengthy quote from "Richard W.M. Jones" to the article (added by an anon IP). Is this you? And if so, in what capacity? (see [3]). └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 19:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Nothing to do with me. See Talk:Grammar_School_at_Leeds#Quotation. Richard W.M. Jones 20:54, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Semi-automated link sorting

[edit] Redlinks

Hi, I noticed you reverted an edit on the Imagine Software page with the rationale "rv edit by User:207.112.74.225 since the whole point is that if the links are red they should be created". Per WP style guidelines, redlinks should only be created if the creating editor genuinely feels they will become a notable article, and if that editor is personally willing to create those articles in the near future. More info at WP:CONTEXT. To create the links in good faith in the first place is fair enough, but to revert a perfectly legitimate redlink cleanup indicates your willingness to create all those articles. As it stands it just makes it look like Imagine didn't create many notable games, potentially calling the notability of Imagine themselves into question. Deizio 04:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Fair 'nuff, although I would like to write an article about Jumping Jack (video game) at some point. Richard W.M. Jones 09:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Laputa robot image

I reverted your new-version of Image:Laputa-robot-ghibli.jpg, as, although it's a nice picture, and higher resolution, it's your own photograph of the same object, not actually the original uploader's picture. This is needlessly confusing, especially as he has this in a gallery in his user space. Could you upload your image under a new name to Wikipedia:Commons instead, then the image links in the articles can be changed to point to that. Has the added benefit of being able to be used in other (language) projects without copying the picture across. --zippedmartin 21:50, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Cool, done that now. The new image is Image:Ghibli-Museum-Laputa-Robot.jpg. Richard W.M. Jones 10:44, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reminders...

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

As a courtesy for other editors on Wikipedia, please sign your talk page and user talk page posts. By adding four tildes (~) at the end of your comments, your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 03:15, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] comma seperated, and delimited

I know you suggested merging them, but I disagree. Comma seperated files have a lot that's different from other simply delimited files. They should refer to each other certainly, but they are sperate formats.

And if anything merge it the other way. Make delimited the main article, because comma delimited could be a subset of that (although a larger subset - comma delimited is the only delimiter that can handle newlines in data fields, and that has a method of escaping the delimiter).

Before reverting any other redirects, please put it to a vote. And if you don't agree that delimited should be the main article, then ask about that as well in the vote.

[edit] link spam

i'm sorry....

I don't see how my link was link spam...

i was showing others the was to LOCAl organizations and groups like scouts.....

explorer scouts is part of scouting and this is our group from LOUTH

please review

www.louth.24ex.com

81.77.128.245 17:30, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Jones, sorry, but there is is no reason to consider the link I added as linkspam. It just leads to another version of Snake like all the other external links. And I think my version is not the less interesting one... (By the way, I removed a link to a really commercial game site) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kolumbus7 (talk • contribs)

[edit] NBNS

lkcl 22sep2006 - richard, need your help: a page called NBNS has been incorrectly redirected to NBT. as explained on the talk page of NBNS, this is misleading. how do things get 'un-re-directed'? the page should be a very simple page saying 'NBNS stands for NetBIOS Naming Service, according to Internet RFCs 1001 and 1002. See NBT page for details.' nothing more.

it should NOT be redirected directly to NBT because then people will think that NetBIOS over TCP is the NetBIOS Naming Service.

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=NBNS&redirect=no and edit the page. Richard W.M. Jones 11:23, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
ok thanks done!

[edit] Combating Vandalism

Hi, I saw you left a message on a vandal's talk page. To get them blocked, just go to Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism and put their name (or IP) on the list. Wait a few minutes and bingo! no more trouble. Have fun editing wikipedia... Yandman 11:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, you're right of course. Richard W.M. Jones 12:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leave me alone

Leave me alone you insufferable prig. I am not in the mood for interventions from small minded nerds Get it? Have some consideration RuthieK 12:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

User has been warned on his talk page. yandman 15:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Apparently I am allowed to blank my talk page. There is no definite "rule" to sya I can't. Read what it says on the relevant policy page ('many people blank their pages as soon as they have read the messages') and adminstrator William M. Connolley‎ does it as well. Check his talk page recently. Did you take my advice and shave? ;o) RuthieK 23:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
You can blank messages from your talk page. It is considered "disruption" to remove warnings, however. And that gets you a block. So does making personal attacks. yandman 07:34, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
So it is OK to misrepresent rules. Because there was no warning before I started to have RWMJ telling me what I can and can't do. I think he should be warned for pestering people. On Wikipedia the facts are always the first victim - tight-arsed formalism gone wrong rules the waves. RuthieK 08:30, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
RWMJ was the one warning you, warnings which you disregarded. I agree that the formalities are a pain, but we need them to keep the playing field level. You should try the Anarchopedia if that's more your cup of tea. yandman 08:36, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
A 'warning' for what? A tiny piece of perceived speculation (where do the facts end and speculation begin?) tacked onto a fact? A warning? Prig is the word, seriously. But facts are the first victim. RuthieK 09:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC) I am still waiting for the substantive point to be answered. He made a comment which has somehow been reinterprested into a 'warning' because a 'warning' was retrospectively needed to justify him.(His actions constitute disruption.) He then started pestering me when I cleared messages from the page. I was entirely within my rights. And how was the warning disregarded??? Something creepy is going on here RuthieK 13:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] DiSC and DISC

I came across these as a random article and tried to remove the advertising. I found that I clashed with your edit. May I suggest the DISC Assessment becomes the main article, after suitable pruning. DiSC is a commercial name and therefore should be the redirect. JMcC 08:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting this. Richard W.M. Jones 08:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Yay, cheers! :-) Richard W.M. Jones 23:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't forget to subst: templates!

Hi,

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Thanks! :)

[edit] Possible project or sub-project dealing with Cheshire

Hello. I've noticed that you've been active in trying to combat vandalism of Cheshire towns' entries. So, I wondered if you might be at all interested in a (sub-)project I've proposed? I've listed a proposed project concerning Cheshire on Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals. I think it can easily co-exist with Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography. If you are interested in contributing to this proposed project, even in just making small contributions at this time, please add your name to list at the appropriate place. You can have a broader discussion about it here. Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 01:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif

Hello, Richard W.M. Jones. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif) was found at the following location: User:Richard W.M. Jones. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 10:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I reverted you. Get out of my userspace. Richard W.M. Jones 21:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
It's not "your" space. See WP:OWN. You do get more latitude in editing your userpage than you would in editing an article, but not to the extent that you get to ignore Wikipedia policy. —Chowbok ☠ 21:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
With respect, the image in question has been uploaded to Wikipedia under fair use copyright claims. Per the terms of our policy at Wikipedia:Non-free content, "non-free content is used only in the article namespace; it is never used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages" (point 9). Basically, we can't justify fair use for you using the image to decorate your user page. That is the reason the bot has removed the image from your page, and it was correct to do so. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:53, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
But I'm a huge JSW fan, so to illustrate me, I'm using an image (which I made myself) to illustrate me. Richard W.M. Jones 15:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif

Hello Richard W.M. Jones, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif) was found at the following location: User:Richard W.M. Jones. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Please note that it is possible that the image on your page is included vie a template or usebox. In that case, please find a free image for the template or userbox. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 12:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Amstrad_CPC_Advert.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Amstrad_CPC_Advert.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. MER-C 08:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:BandersnatchAdvert.jpg

I have tagged Image:BandersnatchAdvert.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 08:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:BandersnatchAdvert2.jpg

I have tagged Image:BandersnatchAdvert2.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 08:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:JetSetWilly-ColdStore-Animated.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. βcommand 22:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Alexander Balanescu.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Alexander Balanescu.jpg. 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) 18:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm not even going to dispute this one -- It's quite probably not fair dealing. Richard W.M. Jones (talk) 00:00, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scotch hands

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Scotch hands, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hello there! I've noticed you've reverted an anonymous addition here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Slashdot&diff=next&oldid=209197539 The problem is that /. is still offline, and I guess this is notable enough to be mentioned.
