[edit] Red Alert Technologies Page

It is good that someone like you is acually providing this type of information. I would help you but the following users always delete these pages specifically on (Command and Conquer) User:Calton User:Proto User:Coredesat

Their reason is game crufting. So I suggest just adding the Factions for Soviets/Allies and characters on the same page. Be careful while adding units sections because these idiots delete them. (Combine the RA1 and 2 characters but not units)

Start the page and I will add. By the way nice page

[edit] Warhammer 40,000

Thanks for the edits to the 40K articles, but there are unfourtunately a few bones I feel I need to pick...

  • The Black Legion - I've seen both Luna and Lunar used in reference to Horus' legion. I'm almost 100% sure that the Index Astartes article refers to them as Luna, but don't have access to the magazine to check. Codex: Chaos Space Marines gives both. Codex: Space Marines 3rd ed gives Lunar, but 4th ed gives Luna. Other bits and pieces lead me to believe that while both are accepted, Luna is preferred, and thats why I used it. I'd be willing to write the first reference to it in the article as "...the Luna Wolves (known in some sources as the Lunar Wolves)...", but think that all other references, along with those in other articles should say Luna.
  • Weapons and Equipment list - I appreciate the addition of the Land Raider's armour stats to the article, but feel it is unnecessary. When it comes to articles on fiction, I feel it best to start off with something that implies that "this is a fictional article", then go through and treat everything as if it were 'fact'. Also, listing the stats for the Raider implies that we have to go and list the stats for all the other vehicles, which is only of interest to 40k gamers, and they have the Codexes. It's a little subtrivial, in my opinion, and adding similar information to all will likely clutter up the article.

I'm not going to edit anything relating to either of these points until either you contact me back or a week passes. I would rather have your support on the matter than not. Either leave your view here, or drop me a line on my own talk page.

Thanks from Saberwyn 09:52, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for contacting me first before making any changes.

  • Luna(r) Wolves: I've seen "Lunar" on a vast majority of occasions, so much that I'm used to take "Luna" as a typo. But I'm speaking mainly about community boards, so if official sources mention both names, you may of course name them both in any order you like.
  • Land Raider stats: It's my personal approach, I like to see some bits of factual information attributed to fiction articles. Makes the fiction more consistent in my eyes, and also gives "outsiders" a hint about how things we talk about fictiously work in the actual game. But I guess it stands out as the only numerical thing in the whole article, so if you edit it by removing the numbers to something like "In the tabletop game, it has the maximum armor value on all sides, thus making it the second-thoughest vehicle in the game after the Necron Monolith." or remove it completely, I won't object.

Thanks & take care.. Xasf 15:00, 20 November 2005 (GMT+2)

[edit] Spaceships of EVE Online

I saw you've added the RMR ship chart to the Spaceships of EVE Online article as a side image. Do you play EVE Online? If so, what's your character's name? =) Dark Shikari 15:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi! I've been playing EVE Online for well over 2 years now, but I "come and go" so to say. I play for several months, then suspend my account for a couple of them and when the craving sets back in, I reactivate :) My character name is also Xasf, but I'm in one of my dormant periods right now. I think I'll be back by the time the factional warfare settles in :) Take care --Xasf 07:54, 14 July 2006 (GMT+3)

[edit] Greetings

Ah, yes, I blocked that pest last night [1] but it looks like he continued to rant on his talk page. I find that vandals are more likely to leave us alone if you let them "get the last word". It's a funny rant, all non-sequiturs and illogic, with only one true statement I can find (that we theoretically can block any and all IP addresses) -- in fact it reads like the Chewbacca defense. Let me know if he comes back with another name or bothers you any more. Antandrus (talk) 15:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shock and awe

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Shock and awe, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible. KWH 09:39, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] VandalProof

By no means did I intend to blank that list. It is a software bug with VP's moderationg tools. I am sorry, and a moderator will be around soon. —— Eagle (ask me for help) 06:33, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear Xasf,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. - Glen 08:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not vandalism

Your edit to Giuseppe Rossi diff is not reverting vandalism... Links such as [[fr:Tour]] are called Interwiki links that link to other language sites. x42bn6 Talk 01:51, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shock and awe mediation

Hello, I've decided to mediate the Shock and awe case. Sorry it took so long. Anyways, there's some questions you can answer here. Thanks! Armedblowfish (talk|mail|contribs) 17:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Technology of the Allies (Red Alert series)

Technology of the Allies (Red Alert series) has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this information might be based on your own conclusions or research, rather than published ideas.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for consensus.

[edit] Selam

Hey, what's up.. It is not a good idea to dwelve too much into details in Turkey, it is supposed to be an overview. It is in FAC at the moment, and should become FA soon. As for the religion figures.. That paragraph is sourced, and that's why it says "nominally" to cover why the figure is as such. It is referenced from UN figures at the end of the paragraph. If you have any other questions just leave me a post at my talk page, I will be happy to help. I rewrote the article during the course of the last month, and was very careful with every word choice and references used. Cheers! Baristarim 21:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

No worries, that's what I had thought :) In such cases it might be better to simply revert such additions. There are many editors who are watching that article ever since it reached a good standard. So if you also ever see such edits, just revert it, it will simply be easier. cheers Baristarim 23:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

OK you're no longer double approved. If you still can't connect, you can try contacting User:AmiDaniel but as a heads-up some people are unable to connect at first (or ever) so you might be one of those unlucky few. --frothT C 01:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UN Buffer Zone in Cyprus

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
