Hello, Stripedtiger, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some links that can help you get started editing:

And for more detailed information:

  • Help pages - the instruction manual, contains everything you could possibly want to know

  • Manual of Style - how to format articles, where to place pictures, and other stylistic matters.

All of this information can be daunting, but if you have a question and can't find the answer, you can always ask me on my talk page or go to Wikipedia:Where to ask a question.

[edit] License tagging for Image:David hayter.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:David hayter.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 07:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Metal guard speak

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that Metal guard speak meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metal guard speak. Don't forget to add four tildes (˜˜˜˜) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, an administrator will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. æle ✆ 2006-06-07t23:01z

[edit] Patriots (Metal Gear)

Patriots (Metal Gear) was merged as a result of this discussion, in lieu of deleting it. I don't know what happened at the list article, but I've remerged it, without most of the excessive plot detail and speculation. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:David hayter.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:David hayter.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 17:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Suzetta Miñet

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Suzetta Miñet. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 21:40, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of The Last Days of FOXHOUND

A tag has been placed on The Last Days of FOXHOUND requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. 9Nak (talk) 09:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of "JEUXVIDEO"

A page you created, JEUXVIDEO, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it has no content, other than external links, categories, "see also" sections, rephrasing of the title, and/or chat-like comments.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks. Boccobrock•T 23:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MGS4 Reviews

Hello there. It's general convention not to include non-en reviews in the Reception section of video games. If this were not the case, the sections would expand to huge lengths. Generally, non-en links and sources are not used on the en wiki, they're kept to their respective wikis. The fact that Meristation article has been deleted (above) does not lend well to your assertion of notability (notability and credibility are two very different things). I'm Irish, for example, but it is unlikely an Irish newspaper review of MGS4 would be added to the article, simply as it's not notable. I'm aware of Jeux Video, but I still think the review shouldn't be included on the en wiki. Hope you understand. Thanks! Fin©™ 10:27, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
