[edit] New Articles

I see that you're already a member of the cvg project, so I'll just ask that when you make a new article, stick it in the "new article" section of the main cvgproj page. It's easy to miss, it's only been there a day or two. You have 2 articles in there, Gemstone Healer (game) and Neuromancer (game), both attributed to you. Thanks! --PresN 23:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info and the help! I'll update the appropriate pages with the articles I create going forward.

[edit] Casino Royale (2006)

Hi. The James Bond articles use British English, I have reverted that edit. Also there is no evidence of "industrial espionage" - it was a terrorist act to make money through share dealing. Mark83 21:45, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Gh ntsc.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gh ntsc.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blazing Lizard

A tag has been placed on Blazing Lizard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Chuck Sirloin 00:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A note about creating new articles

Hi. I noticed your post on the help desk about Blazing Lizard, and the discussion you had on its talk page; I wanted to offer a bit of advice: if you are working on an article (especially about a company, since we are rather vigilant about spam) which may not immediately seem notable, it might be a good idea to work on it first in a user subpage (like User:Voracious reader/Sandbox) so that you have a chance to construct the article and include the references, to prevent it from appearing to be spam. You don't have to write the whole article in your userspace, but it might be a good idea to keep them there until you have the references included. Good luck with your article! --Sopoforic 03:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I've started a sandbox page for future article additions/revisions which I'll use that first before introducing new articles going forward. Thank you for the reply! Voracious Reader 10:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Blazing Lizard

Blazing Lizard, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Blazing Lizard satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blazing Lizard and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Blazing Lizard during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. CitiCat ♫ 05:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cats in the sandbox

Hey VR - can you do me a favor and comment out the categories in your sand box? If they are not commented out, your sandbox appears in the caegories, for example Category:Companies established in 2007 Thanks! UnitedStatesian 00:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

All done, sorry about that! I didn't know they'd show up on the official lists. Voracious Reader 21:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] World in Conflict

Your edit to the plot of World in Conflict has been reverted. You took out some information that is important to the plot, and some of the links are unneccesary and are verifiable that they are featured in the game. Also, if you plan any major changes to the plot, please first consult with members of the community on the discussion page of the article. Thanks. (Kliu1 20:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC))

This was a neutral change to the article, no view other than what is available to players of the game has been represented. All of my edits to the article can be verified from the in-game materials. Grammar edits were needed for better clarity and certain details, such as the reasons for the Soviet attacks, were summarized or, where redundant, left out in an effort to keep the article from violating Wikipedia article policy. Personal information, such as Colonel Sawyer's "crisis of conscience" during the war or Bannon's reference of guilt can be placed in a characters section if anyone is willing to start one (did he really have 'pangs of conscience' for the rest of his life?). Other information such as the Spetsnaz occupation of Liberty Island or the real reason for the defense of Fort Teller were added in as important plot points. The naval base at Norfolk is an educated guess as to the actual target since it is referred to only as "Norfolk" in the cinematic describing the aftermath of the Murmansk operation in the game. The painted still showing Soviet subs launching an attack on what appear to be military ships in harbor lend some credence to this. I have reverted the article back to my previous edit for these reasons.Voracious Reader 15:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
