Random Smile

Thank you ever so much : ) - jc37 01:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Offer to help out.

Seems a bit impatient, really. Hopefully we can straighten that out- CattleGirl talk 08:30, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Dark Force

It's not an edit war: User:TTN is changing the article Dark Force (Phantasy Star) into a redirect; I believe this article is valid, so such a change needs to be discussed first. -- Stormwatch 23:16, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

3RR

I would post it at WP:AIV and let someone else do the revert. I assume that you're just doing RC patrol rather than really interested in that article. But either way, best to get some third party to evaluate it. Carlossuarez46 23:55, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Punctuation and parentheses

Thank you for helping with my user page. I believe my usage was correct: the exclamation point refers to the full sentence inside the parentheses, not to the two words outside it. Your observation is valid, though; the word "and" should be capitalized. Owen× ☎ 00:52, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Hah, thanks for the smile. The reason for warning myself is mainly comedic effect. I was on a tear to check my watchlist which was 2 days behind and saw the page blanking, but someone had reverted it, then I reverted again. After realizing I had blanked the page again, I reverted it and it opened my talk page, so I humoured myself and warned myself. Regards SpigotMap 01:00, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks

Hi WarthogDemon. I just wanted to say many thanks for the wikismile. It was much appreciated and I will be sure to pass it on when I get a chance. Thanks again and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 01:17, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Found Another Zeitgeist Page Needin Saltin

Please can you provide a link to the deletion discussion as it isn't in the history of the page. Thanks, mattbr 14:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [6]. -WarthogDemon 14:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Done, and in future there isn't really any need to let someone know, as the page will be deleted in due course. If you feel the page should be salted, writing in the edit summary should suffice. Thanks, mattbr 15:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

My edits on the pokemon lists.

Does it seem to you like I'm being too harsh on the lists? It seems like the past couple days all I've done is revert edits of people adding things like "PokemonX is found on Route X in the grass" and "PokemonX looks like a Blahblahblah". Just looking for an opinion! Regards SpigotMap 16:18, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Later added onto that here: [8]. -WarthogDemon 19:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I normally just revert them, not as vandalism. I did revert a few today that WERE vandalism and did use the vandalism revert on them. Also, on the note of warning users, I generally never warn IPs unless they already have a history of disruptive edits. If they are a user, I may leave them a handwritten note on why the information they added was removed. SpigotMap 19:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Re your messages: No need to list me on WP:MW just yet! I tend not to edit very much on the weekends, which is why you didn't hear from me. Nothing drove me away or anything, but thanks for the sundae. =) I also got a new computer and having an absolute fun time transferring everything over. I'm a bit slow. Anyways, about your question, I see that particular editor was blocked. The whole Toys 'R Us thing does seem a bit too much detail to me, but I don't know a whole lot about Pokemon so I don't know if it's some huge event or not (doesn't seem to be, but that's just my uninformed opinion). You shouldn't break 3RR over content disputes though. Is it game guide content, well, I honestly don't know because I don't follow Pokemon so I can't tell what would fall into too much information or not. It seems to be too much, but like I said, that's just my uninformed about Pokemon opinion. -- Gogo Dodo 04:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: Ah, I see. I don't judge people by what they choose to contribute on, so edit away on Pokemon things. =) If you look at my contribution history with said tool, you will see that I have a rather odd edit history with one particular article that invites similar kinds of edits as Pokemon articles I'm sure. -- Gogo Dodo 23:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Responding to your message

I responded on his talk page, and will watch that user. Academic Challenger 00:03, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

User talk:SuppaIke

Point of clarification: I was adding a new warning for vandalism I had edited and beginning to number the warnings so it would be clear when we reached the 4th warning for purposes of blocking. I replaced the warning I left on that page, in appropriate order. I left your heading from your first warning, although the heading change I made was more inclusive of all of the editor's vandalism.

Answer about lists

I'm not 100% sure if there is a Wikipedia policy on this, but I can give you my opinion. If a band is unsigned and doesn't really have a chance at ever becoming notable enough for an article, then go ahead and delete it. If a band isn't well known, but has the opportunity to become more well known (in the very near future b/c Wikipedia is not a crystal ball), then leave them. There really isn't any point in listing bands without Wikipedia articles to which to link. Nikki311 22:51, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey!

Other editors beat you to reverting my user page these past few days. What's up with that? Are you slacking? Just kidding. =) -- Gogo Dodo 23:55, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Re your messages: If you compare the ratio of the number of edits you have versus number of times your user page has been vandalized, you have a higher rate of user page vandalism than I do. =) -- Gogo Dodo 18:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Odd caption

I have no idea, but I played with it a little and found that putting three apostrophes before and one after seems to fix it. That shouldn't work, but it does...maybe put it in as a bug? Seraphimblade Talk to me 00:19, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon images

Do not replace the images just so they have numbers. The image for Zubat was deleted because it's fair use rationale was entirely inappropriate, and I've replaced it with Image:Zubat2.png, which is perfectly fine to use. I don't understand what the hell the WikiProject is doing now, but you need to now go through nearly 500 images and fix fair use rationales for each and every one of them.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 16:29, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Zeitgeist Page

Hi, please explain why a page for this movie should be deleted. It is a 2hr movie like any of the other movie pages in wikipedia. It will be annoying dealing with all the conspiracy junkies that want to expand and expound upon it, but wikipedia has pages for 9-11 truth, et cetera, and has been able to handle such issues in the past. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandwich Eater (talk • contribs) 12:49, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, when in doubt, AfD :) They've gone from 17 ghits at the time of original AfD to 17,000 now, so they may be notable enough. Have you considered asking at a relevant WikiProject? Fvasconcellos (t·c) 01:42, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Group AfD on those fictional powers

There are different issues involved with the different lists. I'm not sure a group AfD would succeed, and if it failed, then all those lists would get to boast having survived AfD. First take out some easier ones, then they're collectively the recent precedent for eliminating the rest. Wryspy 01:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

From User talk:WarthowDemon

Greetings, in regards to the discussion over deletion of the ekpyrotek article, if there is any advice or particular improvements that could be implemented to the article, please let me know. I would really hate to see it deleted. I know Teli Brown personally, and his music has changed alot of peoples lives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanscott81 (talk • contribs)

Ekpyrotek

You were posting in the afd discussion about being civil. I'm not sure if that was referring to me or the other editor (as my comment was indeed whitty). If I was over the line could you point me somewhere as to how much wittyness (sic) is acceptable. I like being witty at times as I think it adds some humor to otherwise dull discussions but I don't want to insult anybody. Regards 1redrun Talk 15:55, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

ESADE

Thanks for your confidence in me! I'm reverting the edits because of the section they keep adding titled corporate hypocrisy, it's definitely unsourced criticism and looks to be vandalism. I haven't had a chance to really review it yet, but I'm going to research it now. What are your thoughts? Dreadstar † 18:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 20:52, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
