Yes, that was me. Is someone using it? I accidentally made it with a lower case c. Kyaa the Catlord (talk) 13:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:TimeCrisis4Logo-1-.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) 19:49, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I seem to have confused him with Cory Doctorow there somehow. --AVRS (talk) 14:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad to tell you that Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2007_October_21#Lorelei7_images that you started is closed with these images kept. I have transwikied them to Commons with the OTRS having confirmed the copyright permission. Furthermore, thank you very much for the Special Barnstar awarded to my talk page and your support to my stewardship on Meta.--Jusjih (talk) 04:09, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, I have just closed your RfA as successful and made you an administrator. Take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list if you haven't read those already. Also, some have found the practice exercises at the new admin school useful. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Best wishes, WjBscribe 21:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulation and welcome to adminship. As there are at least hundreds but possibly thousands of untagged images here, I am going after untagged images here with Untagged Images Tool. Whether you are going after untagged images or not, I hereby introduce you User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js and installing it can make administering this site much more efficient. I install the tool from User_talk:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js#Installation to User:Jusjih/monobook.js, my subpage. Please feel free to ask me if you have questions about adminship while I administer 10 Wiki sites with a lot of experience.--Jusjih 04:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations! You will do good work. Tread lightly as you lead the way. Splash - tk 23:45, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

got a problem with ya, you deleited my band page the warriors of death, put it bak if you don't mind---Gangsta w----

I went and checked, and the book is self-published, which doesn't confer any notability, which leaves only the unverifiable claim of being a top-ten model. But you're quite right, this isn't precisely covered by the guidelines, so I'll take this to AfD for more opinions than mine. Thanks for bringing me into line on this, it deserves to be considered according to the rules. Accounting4Taste:talk 03:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You declined this speedy, stating that A7 doesn't apply to....But I didn't propose it under A7. --Brewcrewer 06:04, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had a hard time understanding your response on my talkpage. It's not your fault, I'm not around for that long to be fluent in "Wikipedia language." But let me rephrase my question, and then maybe your response to the question will be more understandable to me. The way I understand the "no-criteria" template ({{|db|reason}})it that it's "common sense" template. And one just gives a reason and for the common sense speedy deletion of the article. It, therefore, seemed incorrect to me to deny the speedy becasue it does not comply with one of the other templates. All the best, --Brewcrewer 15:51, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let me ask you a simple question, what is the purpose of {{|db|reason}}? When is one supposed to use that template?

You've delated my note about Dariusz Doliński, because it is "Biography that does not assert notability". But acually I think it does! He is the most known polish psychologist, especially in the foreign countries. So please, put back my note!

Nope, that seemed to have accomplished what was needed. Thank you.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:37, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm trying to move Angel (Buffyverse), Spike (Buffyverse) , Master (Buffyverse), and Darla (Buffyverse) to "Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)", etc. However, it's not working and Bignole advised me to ask you for help? Thanks.  Paul  730 21:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I actually use the term Buffyverse quite a lot myself, but Bignole convinced me it was innappropiate for an encyclopedia. I can't see any difference to the Darla article, but I wasn't overly familar with it. Anyway, thanks a lot for doing that. There might be some more articles I missed, so I might call on you again if that's okay? :)  Paul  730 23:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I totally agree with you. The Buffyverse articles are not very good, and I'm in the process of cleaning them up. The Places articles are just a bit further down my priority list. They do deserve to be on the Sunnydale article, I'm surprised the library even has any OOU info. Yeah, a "Sunnydale" article with info regarding the sets and the metaphors of the location might make a decent little article actually.  Paul  730 10:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to protect Faith (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) from being moved again? It keeps getting moved to fannish titles like her full name Faith Lehane (a name not in the TV series and barely known to anyone except fans) or Faith (Buffyverse).  Paul  730 18:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another user deleted the article, stating that it was just adveruising for Universal Studios Florida. I hope you'll understand that the article did have reasons for deletion by now.--5VH9 (talk) 03:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apprantly, now another user brought the page back--5VH9 (talk) 04:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You do not move talk pages in order to archive. I had already archived the talk page. Additionally, you removed the GA review template I had put on there. I had just nominated it for GA. Please do not remove the template! --Son (talk) 03:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like some user has nominated this article without discussion even though he's made no contributions to the article. Basically, I'm not finished working on this article and know that it will get failed outright in its current state. I just urge the user to withdraw his nomination of the article. By the way, I've left some replies to your comments on the talk page. Thanks. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 07:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just to let you know, there's a User:Hdbdragon88 now. I don't know, is this mimicry allowed on Wikipedia? Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 15:59, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to AFD List of enemies in Doom but it appears that since it was already AFD'ed, it gives me that old page instead of a new page to SUBST; the new reason (fancruft) for. Can't find instructions, as they say "use preloaded" which doesn't apply here. Little help? Pharmboy (talk) 01:44, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i just got your message but am still a little confused. I've been searching Wikipedia for an example of something in a similar situation to mine and have found a TV screenshot on the SMAP page of Takuya KImura singing on TV with Ayumi Hamasaki and it appears as though that image is found to be acceptable. Another example is on the Yamashita Tomohisa page showing a screenshot of Yamashita during his TV show Nobuta Wo Produce (Image:Wiki-shujitoakira2.jpg). I actually originally followed the information posted for this image as an example of what sort of fair use information should be provided since this image has been deemed acceptable since 2006 when it was posted, so I'm doubly confused as to why it is acceptable whereas the Akanishi screenshot is not?

I am uncertain as to what constitutes a free and non-free image then? If the television station has distributed the tv show for public consumption, then shouldn't it be free for use by the public then?

Alternatively, I would argue that the image is merely provided to show Akanishi Jin doing his television talkshow, which, from the information i read before posting images, is an acceptable use of television, movies or poster images here on Wikipedia.

For this edit. I just wish the list users feature was also a search: that way, you could type in "Acalamari" and see how many usernames have "Acalamari" in them, rather than the list starting from "Acalamari". At any rate, good idea for putting it in. :) As you saw, I have a nice little collection of spoofers there. Acalamari 23:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why did you delete the arsenal page? i was not done creating it. nice going dipshit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.74.220.214 (talk) 01:30, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Be careful when moving pages and deleting their redirects. I cleaned up the Justice for All (disambiguation) changes by removing the now-invalid hatnote from Justice for All (game show) and undeleting Justice for All (disambiguation). The explicit (disambiguation) redirect is used for intentional links to the disambiguation page, such as from the ...And Justice for All (disambiguation) page. Cheers! -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: John Roberts, John Paul Stevens, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sandra Day O'Connor
This is a small matter. I don't understand the reasons for Sjrplscjnky's recent minor edits of articles about each of the Justices of the Supreme Court. After some time, there has been no response to inquiries posted on this editor's talk page nor has there been feedback from similar postings on the talk pages of each of the nine articles about a sitting Justice and the one about retired Justice O'Connor. Rather than simply reverting this "improvement," I thought it best to solicit comment from others who might be interested. I found your name amongst others at Talk:Supreme Court of the United States.

I'm persuaded that Sjrplscjnky's strategy of introducing academic honors in the first paragraph is unhelpful in this narrow set of articles -- that is, in Wikipedia articles about Justices of the Supreme Court. I think my reasoning might well extend as well to others on the Federal bench. In each instance, I would question adding this information only in the first paragraph -- not elsewhere in the article.

In support of my view that this edit should be reverted, please consider re-visiting articles written about the following pairs of jurists.

• A1. Benjamin Cardozo
• A2. Learned Hand

• B1. John Marshall Harlan
• B2. John Marshall Harlan II

The question becomes: Would the current version of the Wikipedia article about any one of them -- or either pair -- be improved by academic credentials in the introductory paragraph? I think not.

Perhaps it helps to repeat a wry argument Kathleen Sullivan of Stanford Law makes when she suggests that some on the Harvard Law faculty do wonder how Antonin Scalia avoided learning what others have managed to grasp about the processes of judging? I would hope this anecdote gently illustrates the point.

Less humorous, but an even stronger argument is the one Clarence Thomas makes when he mentions wanting to return his law degree to Yale.

As you can see, I'm questioning relatively trivial edit; but I hope you agree that this otherwise plausible "improvement" should be removed from introductory paragraphs of ten articles. If not, why not?

Would you care to offer a comment or observation? --Ooperhoofd (talk) 20:17, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the tips, im new here Niyant (talk) 19:17, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not an encyclopedia article and it's not going to be kept. You clearly agree since you proposed it for deletion yourself. It would be bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake, but I'm willing to undelete it and waste people's time with an AfD if that's what you really want. Let me know. --Stormie (talk) 22:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK it's back. I have watchlisted it and will list it on AfD if anyone contests the proposed deletion. --Stormie (talk) 22:52, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we've ever met, but I found your page and started laughing when I read your crash course improvement. It is almost exactly what I do to quickly improve an article, and I was surprised to see it written down step-by-step. If I ever meet someone who wants to help but doesn't know how, your list is certainly a good place to start (depending on how new they are).--CM (talk) 15:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per the discussion now archived here: Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Archive 34, I noticed that you expressed a need for help with some general cleanup of the articles "timeline-like" prose. May I suggest a few other places to seek help: peer review is likely to generate some help, especially if you explain what kind of help you need AND you enlist some specific reviewers, such as those on this page: Wikipedia:Peer review/volunteers. Also, and perhaps even a better idea, is to list the article at The League of Copyeditors, who are Wikipedians who specifically enjoy fixing the prose in an article. Like PR, the page is often backlogged and contacting a few editors in addition to listing the article for cleanup help may be beneficial to you. I hope that is of some help. If you need any further help, drop me a note on my talk page! --Jayron32|talk|contribs 00:04, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you able to restore the edits of Pat Ross (disambiguation) and then move them to Pat Ross? --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There aren't any edits there. Just my edit that i moved the page. hbdragon88 (talk) 05:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There must have been edits at Pat Ross (disambiguation) before the deletion, no? Anyway the other one is Pat Ross (American football). --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

When I moved the page, all the edits from the (disambiguation) page should have been moved to the regular Pat Ross page. But they've been lost – they don't show up in either location. hbdragon88 (talk) 05:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Becuase I didn't check Talk:SHS before deleting, and I don't check the disambiguation talk pages to see if this is a newfangled procedure for doing things. Someone thought it was G1, I thought that was nonsense, but speedied it on the basis of WP:IAR that I thought it was redundant to the main dab page. If you would like it restored I can do that. hbdragon88 (talk) 22:04, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited my message and removed mention of a block, per your request. I don't know anything about this user... I just thought he should stop posting on Guy's talk for the time being. Perhaps my wording was too harsh, so that's why I toned it down (though I'm not an admin anyways so it really couldn't be viewed as a threat). I hope that it ends here. ATren (talk) 07:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the message you left on User talk:Dethzone; I'm pretty sure that the 'article' he's working on at User:Dethzone/SANDBOX isn't an article. It appears that he's just using the page as personal scratch space for an entirely fictional story he's writing. Since his arrival in early December, he's made only eighteen (almost entirely minor) edits to the mainspace; the vast bulk of his (nearly four hundred) edits is to his userspace, to projects unrelated to the encyclopedia.

Leaving all-caps messages begging for attention from JzG the same day Guy's father passes away shows an alarming lack of either maturity or awareness, and Dethzone should not be surprised if the community decides – soon – that his contributions are neither welcomed nor needed.

I'll go ahead and tag it. Before it was deleted a couple of users who voted delete asked that it be userfied so they could work on it, so I went ahead and did it for them. I guess they forgot about it like I did. Since I never planned to work on it anyway I have no heartache with its deletion. Thanks for reminding me to trash this thing :P.

Thanks. I assume you were not referring to me on WPFF's talkpage? I've always strongly recommend featured article review as a last resort (mainly because Sandy, Tony, myself, and others were spread thin on FAC/FAR as it already was, and having an obviously personal connection to a few of the recent ones doesn't help to get things done); I don't think my comment was worthy of a NPA-deleted comment :), so I take it you meant someone else? — Deckiller 15:57, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I consider taking a tram to have to go outside, yes. I just went to Las Vegas and I walked through a shopping area that connected me from the Mandalay Bay to the Luxor, but I can't see a way to do the same for Luxor to Excalibur other than going outside.

Sorry for the late reply... thanks for maintaining such a list.

Three things: firstly, be careful! I don't know what you were thinking, or if you even knew what you were doing, but you managed to remove an entire section that I'd added in the meantime. Secondly, there is nothing in the MoS that says you should refrain from making image size changes. It says it is not necessary, but also says "Image size is a matter of preference". The wording does not imply that either adding or not using a size is better than the alternative. Thirdly, it is impossible to see what is in some of the images at that size, which defeats the entire objective of having images - at 250px, you can clearly see what's going on in the briefing image, you can read the text and see the characters. At this size, it crushes it all, making it illegible and undiscernable. I'm not going to restore the sizes at current, but next time, at least make it consistent for all the images, you missed the two screenshots further down. -- Sabre (talk) 18:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scroll directly to the bottom and it will show the Kill-a-ton package, which includes all the 3DR authorized products in one package. Duke Caribbean wasn't out yet when that was put together, which is the reason it isn't included. Same for Nuclear Winter. None of the current packs on the wikipage are fan made or unathorized. Wizard Works was a subsidary of GT Interactive, which had the publishing rights to Duke 3D.

Curious, I noticed that White Cat's Davenbelle link had gone cold, and noticed that you had done the deed. I mean, we have WP:RFAR/HWY, for instance. Davenbelle has the strange convention of three separately named parties, which makes it more difficult to remember. I can remember Cool Cat and Davenbelle fine, but it takes a bit to remember Stereotek's user name, much less type it in correctly with the spacing and puncutation. hbdragon88 (talk) 00:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should know he has come back to hack and chop Pokemon articles.

He changed his name from Vikrant Phadkay to Ultraviolet scissor flame, he has been blocked twice as a vandal for being a page blanker [Phadkay]. He also failed spectacularly when he tried to be a Wikipedia Admin Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Vikrant Phadkay. He is also a master sock puppeteer, Paerduug, [4] and then when he realised he had given himself away, he tried to cover it up [5]

See the Talk Page on the Paul McCartney article to see how fed up the editors are with him there. I hope you protect the Pokemon pages from him.

Heya, you recently posted a quick prose-related comment at User:S@bre/Chris Metzen. I was hoping I could ask you to give it another quick and brief go-over now I've filled in the career section with something, just for prose errors and the like. I'd also like some feedback on the style of the section: at the moment its pretty much just a prose-ification of the list in the current version, but although I'm hoping I can get interesting tidbits to sprinkle throughout as is in Martin O'Donnell, I'm not that confident that such information will be forthcoming.

In its current approach, is it acceptable/passable, or is it likely to get hit by a "this looks like a resume" tag? If the latter is true, what can I do to improve it? I've not done a biographical article before, so this stuff's all new to me, and the guidelines I've looked at haven't been all that helpful. Thanks! -- Sabre (talk) 14:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of Power Rangers in Space episodes, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. — Balthazar ^(T|C) 03:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This was my experience: because having a extra chapter in the paperback version of a novel is unprecedented as far as I know, I was sceptical of the claim in the text until I saw the cover.

Hi, I replied on my talk page SF007 (talk) 23:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First off, I would have appreciated had you displayed the politeness to notify me of editing in my userspace. Secondly, the rule about cross-namespace redirects applies only to redirects from article namespace to other namespaces. user:Everyme 13:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects to the Talk:, User: or User talk: namespace from the article space. If this was the result of a page move, consider waiting a day or two before deleting the redirect. Spirit of R2? Also, this is clearly different in that it isn't a redirect from my main userpage, but from a subpage. Where someone clicks on my username, they will be redirected to my talk page. Still, for all my stubbornness I'm generally open to arguments, if and when I'm offered any. That said, I regard the issue as resolved. user:Everyme 19:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I've re-read the guideline and read the notes appended to the bottom, it says it does have to be president or chancellor, and that positions like provost, dean, department chair do not qualify.

I have no idea why splitting up each lens to its own article was done. I agree, keep each EF lens article grouped based on focal length. There is simply not enough information, at this time, for each lens to have its own article. Currently the Canon EF 24mm lens, and Canon EF 28mm lens have also been done the "split-up" way. The Canon EF 300mm lens page, and the other pages were stared by user:Rama. My guess is that he thought that splitting up would be better. But since every other lens article is grouped by focal length, consensus has shown we should group. I will do the necessary edits to bring continuity to the articles.

Hello, you commented in my recent unsuccessful RFB, and I just had a quick question for you, if you don't mind. You said, "Wikipedia isn't a game." I was just wondering what led you to believe that I consider Wikipedia a game, as I surely do not. Was there something I said that I should clarify or clear up? Useight (talk) 03:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I got that impression when you said that you didn't like adminbots because they didn't allow you to build up your edit count. Bragging about edit counts and such is game-like, to me, a kind of boasting, a competition to see who had more edits than another person. hbdragon88 (talk) 04:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I can see how that could be derived from what I said. Note, though, that I wasn't referring to adminbots with that statement, but particular anti-vandalism bots. The wording I should have used is "bots often take away my opportunity to edit" not "bots often take away my opportunity to build up my edit count". By this I mean that I come to Wikipedia to edit, not to get repeatedly beat over and over again in such a frustrating manner. I mean, I sit down at my computer, notice some vandalism on my watchlist; I go to revert it and before I can, ClueBot has jumped in. If this happens more than a couple of times, my purpose for sitting down to edit has been frustrated, so I just move from Wikipedia.org to Digg.com and Wikipedia loses any contribution I would have made that afternoon. Imagine if you went down to the gym to play a little basketball but your friend brought along a guy who was incredibly good and every time you went to shoot a basket, he blocked it back into your face. It makes you not want to play anymore. That's why I don't like bots that revert. Also, if I cared so much about edit count, I'd be trying my hardest to run to the top of this list by Huggling every day. Aside from today, I hadn't Huggled in nearly a month. You also won't find lists of barnstars I've recieved, articles I've written, or the like on my userpage. I am not competing with anybody in any game-like fashion, I just want to edit. Hopefully that helps clarify my original comment. Useight (talk) 04:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, sorry about that, I just thought adminbots, but I meant anti vandalism bots. I see your point that you view reverting vandalism as part of your enjoyment of Wikipedia and how anti vandalism bots detract from that. I still believe that having the bots is overwhelmingly a good thing but would strike my oppose based on that clarification. hbdragon88 (talk) 07:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know I'm in a super minority, about 99 to 1 (or more), but maybe if I knew more about bots, I would learn to appreciate them as well. Those four comments I made that everyone brought up at my RFB, it was actually really random that I made them. I had never, ever been to BRFA before and I happened to see and follow a link I spotted on a usertalk page. There they were conversing about secret admin bots, which, up to that point, I did not know existed. I never get involved in the drama-filled aspects of Wikipedia (like ANI), because I just want to get work done, not stress over he-said, she-said. Anyway, I thought, "Oh, man, secret admin bots are bad" and it further biased my thinking, which was already, "Bots keep beating me to my work." I'm going to approach some BAG members as a humble student and try to learn what makes bots so great. It's going to take a lot more time than seeing two pages and making four comments, but if I can get all the information, I could change my mind. After all, I used to oppose admin candidates because they used scripts, but I've since learned more and now use Huggle myself. I've seen the good in these scripts. Will the same happen for bots? Who knows, but I'm going to find out. Useight (talk) 16:31, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, all the Watchmen character articles have been redirected to List of characters in Watchmen, since they were primarily plot summaries that didn't warrant separate articles. As a result, that character page is currently being rewritten to focus on real-world notability.
