Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire

Hi, per Wikipedia:Non-free content, articles must keep the amount of copyrighted images down. Every image should serve a specific purpose that greatly improves the understanding of the subject. After many past discussions, every duo game(all the main series Pokemon games, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Zelda Oracle of Seasons/Ages, etc) only has one of the box arts, because the other one does not give any more nessasary information. If you wish to replace the boxart, please start a discussion first, and try to get the consensus(views of most of the involved editors) changed. Blake (Talk·Edits) 13:41, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Since you brought that up, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because some articles don't follow guidelines doesn't mean all articles don't have to. Ruby and Sapphire is a Good Article, which means it should strictly follow guidelines. Dawn and Dusk is a low class article that still needs a lot of work done. Thanks, Blake (Talk·Edits) 14:11, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

I don't know why you said my page is "nice" - never mind. BTW, I own a nice little kitten.

Your request for rollback

Hi Solar Police. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 22:12, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

Indian Premier League

I'm afraid this article is some way off GA at the moment, so I have had to fail it. I have left a partial review here and made suggestions as to what may take the article forward. If you are unsure of anything or wish to comment, please ping me as I will not be watching the page. If you are not happy with the review, feel free to renominate the article or to ask for a reassessment. However, this is an important article and the basic outline looks pretty good so I hope you keep working to improve it: there is a lot to say about IPL and it is a real phenomena about which everyone seems to have an opinion! --Sarastro1 (talk) 21:23, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, much appreciated! AssociateAffiliate (talk) 19:09, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Solar Police. I have reviewed this article against the good article criteria, and unfortunately have chosen to fail its nomination at this time. There are numerous issues with referencing that will take some time to resolve before this article can meet the criteria. My specific comments can be found here. Please continue working on this article, however. I actually became something of a fan of Twenty20, even all the way out here in Canada, after watching the IPL on local networks, and am a fan of the efforts that have been put into these articles.

Re: GA nomination of Mega Man X (video game)

Thank you for the review and the barnstar. I'm sorry you did not feel Mega Man X (video game) was not up the Good Article criteria. However, though you stated it failed "mainly because it does not have enough citations. The lead section does not have any citations," you did not elaborate on any of the specific parts of your review where you stated "nay". For instance, how is the subject not broadly covered?

Just for future reference, as per Wikipedia:Citing sources: "Citations are also often discouraged in the lead section of an article, insofar as it summarizes information for which sources are given later in the article, although such things as quotations and particularly controversial statements should be supported by citations even in the lead." I feel I adequately cited the lead information in the body.

Also, you can place a nominee "On Hold" for a given period of time if you feel the issues can be addressed by the nominator in a reasonable amount of time. Had you done this, I could have argued the lead citation guideline as above and fixed any other problems you had with it. But, it's at your own discretion. Seeing as how you've already failed the article, I intend to renominate it in the near future. Regards. ~ Hibana (talk) 19:37, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Booo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Booo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (ESkog)(Talk) 12:28, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Pokemon_sapphire.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Pokemon_sapphire.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 05:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Accounts

I just want to make sure that you and User:Lunar Police are really two different editors. I know that you are new to Wikipedia, and I want to make sure that you are aware of WP:SOCK. Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 16:09, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I got your reply, thanks! No problem! --Tryptofish (talk) 16:33, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Cheep cheep.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Cheep cheep.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. J Milburn (talk) 16:25, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Mandrill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Congo (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
