Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PresN (talk • contribs)

Oops.
I wasn't allowed to talk to people then.. I usally get banned from being annoying. And nice to meet you! P.S. I edited the page for users to know it will be deleted. --A legend 21:38, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No, you are allowed to talk to people, and users are not banned for being annoying, nor are you banned. The problem is that you made up something (the "Ultradog" console) and made an article about it.  Wikipedia is for real, verifiable, notable things, not for made up things.  Please keep editing here, just don't add nonsense.  --PresN 21:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Ultradog is a work in progress by me. --A legend 21:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * In that case please read the conflict of interest guidelines and the fact that Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. DarkSaber2k 15:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't. Just, I'm off the subject! --The source of the cosmos... 15:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok
Can you fix my signiture code please the code is on my talkpage. This one is a alternate. MAJ5 22:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd be happy to! --A legend 22:46, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's OK! Thanks for the help! MAJ5 22:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for forgiving me! I did try, but that's what counts! --A legend 22:58, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Hi A Legend. I'm happy to adopt you. I looked through your contribution history. Sorry your early article attempt didn't work out. I'll do what I can to help future ideas come to fruition. I see you've already gotten involved with a couple of wikiprojects. I don't know much about video games and less about Dragonball, but I know lots about wikipedia, so I'll do what I can. I will watchlist your talk page to keep tabs on you and what you need assistance with. Is there anything in particular you want help with now? You can reply here.--Chaser - T 23:35, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

First, am I adopted now? --The source of the cosmos... 23:48, 27 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes. I took the liberty of updating your userbox.--Chaser - T 00:05, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Help with Project
I need to know how to get a project onto the page where you put projects to get some intrest.

--The source of the cosmos... 00:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * What kind of project? Do you mean a Wikiproject??--Chaser - T 00:06, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah.--The source of the cosmos... 00:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, there are some relevant guides linked from the page below (go to the page and scroll down to a section about creating and maintaining wikiprojects). What kind of wikiproject did you have in mind?--Chaser - T 00:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

One that researches the PS2! Mega PS2. --The source of the cosmos... 00:14, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * The existing WikiProject PlayStation is probably what you want to create. I suggest you join that wikiproject.--Chaser - T 00:17, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! --The source of the cosmos... 00:19, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Easiest Barnstar Oppritunity
Chaser, I need to know the easiest way to get a Barnstar, please! --The source of the cosmos... 00:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Impress another editor...a lot. Barnstars are usually rewarded for extraordinary efforts. See Barnstars for more information.--Chaser - T 01:21, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! --The source of the cosmos... 01:22, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Gamecube modding Wiki project
Can somebody tell me how to create a project in the place you get intrest. --The source of the cosmos... 14:38, 28 June 2007 (UTC) Search at WikiProjects for a subject that interests you.  Mi r a n da   14:47, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I mean a proposal. --The source of the cosmos... 14:55, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ask on WikiProject Games.  Mi r a n da   14:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

That one's inactive. Not doing anything now, except talking.
 * Well ask on the main wikiproject page.  Mi r a n da   15:03, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Never mind, I'm making a task force for the Video Games Project. --The source of the cosmos... 15:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

You didn't answer on the talk page, so i'll ask here too. When you say Gamecube modding task force, do you mean one that writes articles about mods, or one that creates them. DurinsBane87 05:12, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

No, the modding task force will discuss on a talk page. --The source of the cosmos... 03:37, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, that's fine by me, answer me there then. DurinsBane87 03:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Where? --The source of the cosmos... 15:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The talk page where you brought it up. The Videogame project talk page. DurinsBane87 15:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Editor review
Hi, thank you for requesting an editor review, however, you have not listed any answers to the questions, and, although they are optional, it would help other editors review you. --wpktsfs 20:36, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I reviewed you. Shalom Hello 17:30, 11 July 2007 (UTC)Where's my review? --The source of the cosmos... 02:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's at Editor review/A legend. I'm sorry to say I've neglected my first adoptee. I agree with Shalom's review. I haven't given you any advice on anything specific because so far most of your edits haven't been to articles, but to userspace. Perhaps editing an article together would be worthwhile. Do you want to work together to start a new article on something or update an existing article?--Chaser - T 02:12, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, something important, like PSW.Generic4.MNS Trojan! And Generic5.JMY! --The source of the cosmos... 02:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you know of any sources about those? I did some google searches, but all I found was this.--Chaser - T 02:37, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Only I have had them, they're newly unleashed trojans. I don't know about the things they do though. They can't be healed.--The source of the cosmos... 02:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * That sucks. I hope your computer is OK. Any other ideas about things we could work on where there's some more coverage on the internet or in books, newspapers, or magazines?--Chaser - T 02:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I've deleted them. And anything we can do is up to you! --The source of the cosmos... 02:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * How about the INIT 1984 computer virus (also known as a Friday the 13th virus)? Here are some links:  --Chaser - T 03:17, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

That doesn't run on Windows 2000(Which I have.). --The source of the cosmos... 12:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I made a stub anyway. Feel free to improve it! INIT 1984 (computer virus)--Chaser - T 05:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

What about a article about PSW.Generic4.MNS? We need to do that.--The source of the cosmos... 12:27, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Request block, or ban
Chaser, or any other admin should block. He/she has been replacing pages with very stupid phrases. That was the summary of most his/hers edits.--The source of the cosmos... 15:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not a problem. That IP hasn't edited for four days. Usually we don't block an IP address that hasn't gotten a recent warning because someone else could be using the IP, and it would sure suck to block someone because of the last person to use that computer vandalized Wikipedia with it! Anyway, the other reason not to block that IP is that blocks are preventative rather than punitive. In other words, we don't block people to punish them for wrongdoing, but to prevent them from continuing to vandalize, call people names, etc. Hope that clarifies!--Chaser - T 05:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC) Thanks for clearing that up! I'm updating my sig.--The source of the cosmos... 12:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Signing
Listen, kid, to sign your name, you type the ~ button four times, like this ~. That's how you sign your comments. DurinsBane87 17:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)I did sign.--The source of the cosmos... 19:29, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You're signing properly. I think the confusion is because your signature doesn't link to your user page or user talk page. Do you remember how you changed it from the default? (go to "my preferences" and look for the signature option). Here, you can just copy and use this code: The source of the cosmos... Cheers!--Chaser - T 23:54, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!--The source of the cosmos... 02:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You're welcome.--Chaser - T 03:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk page, signature, article ideas
I fixed your talk page. As to your signature, I think you want some spaces in the code. For example, The source of the cosmos... produces The  source of the cosmos... with "The" as a link on any page other than this one (your talk page). Any new article ideas? You said something last time about a computer virus that infects Windows 2000..--Chaser - T 03:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, have you done the test yet? We need to provide info on this trojan.--The source of the cosmos... 14:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * What test? I'm confused about what you want me to do.--Chaser - T 17:49, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Just download EliteMap!--The source of the cosmos... 22:35, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I take it you want me to download and install this software. Since I can only find it on sketchy websites, I'm not going to do that.--Chaser - T 01:24, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Whoa. We need to write a program to detect and test viruses.--The source of the cosmos... 18:10, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think there's a misconception here I need to clear up. Wikipedia, as an encyclopedia, doesn't do any original scientific research to determine characteristics of something or for other purposes. What we can do here is write articles based on reliable primary or secondary sources. So, for example, if there is a newspaper article about the love bug, we can incorporate that article into a Wikipedia article on the virus. But we can't infect our computers with the virus to see what happens. This isn't just because it may be dangerous to our computers (although that's a really good reason), but also because there is now way for the reader to verify what we've done without repeating the same experiment on their own. This is impractical, so we rely on secondary sources, instead.--Chaser - T 18:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

All we know is that the trojan exists and is barely starting in circulation.--The source of the cosmos... 18:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Then that's really all the article could possibly contain. Do you have a source for that? What's the name of the Trojan again?--Chaser - T 18:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The first instance I ever saw of PSW.Generic4.MNS is from dexter.exe. I found it with AVG and deleted it. It was on MY computer only.--The source of the cosmos... 16:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, the only google results on that are for our talk pages, which isn't a very promising start. None of these new article ideas have proved very fruitful so far. Maybe we could team up to rewrite an article. What do you think?--Chaser - T 00:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay... But, I warn you... I usally switch between places...--The source of the cosmos... 14:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * How about starting an article from the choices listed at WikiProject_Video_games?--Chaser - T 15:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Why not take a look at 2 Much? I minorly improved it(in my opinion) Here is the culture section of Pokemon:

A live action show called Pokémon Live! toured the United States in late 2000. It was based on the popular Pokémon anime, but had some continuity errors relating to it. In late 2002, it was scheduled to tour Europe, but was canceled for unknown reasons, possibly due to lack of interest. These problems may have occurred because Europe did not fully partake in the spreading culture of the Pokémon's influences, thus rendering Pokémon Live not as much of a "hit" as planned.

Pokémon, being a popular franchise, has undoubtedly left its mark on pop-culture. The Pokémon characters themselves have become pop-culture icons; examples include not one, but two different Pikachu balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Pokémon-styled Boeing 747-400, thousands of merchandise items, and a theme park in Nagoya, Japan in 2005 and Taipei in 2006. Pokémon also appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1999. The Comedy Central show Drawn Together has a character named Ling-Ling which is a direct parody of Pikachu. Several other shows such as ReBoot, The Simpsons, South Park and All Grown Up! have made references and spoofs of Pokémon, among other series. Pokémon was also featured on Vh1's I Love the '90s. - Now we should make merge this and Pokemon's popularity and expand! Whaddya' think?--The source of the cosmos... 21:25, 28 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You want to expand that? Yeah, that's probably fine. What do you suggest including?--Chaser - T 18:30, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

It's a popular culture article I want to do. And I think I need a bodyguard at PDOA. Mind volunteering?--The source of the cosmos... 20:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * What's PDOA?--Chaser - T 20:50, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon Den Of Ages.--The source of the cosmos... 20:52, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I think I'll stick to Wikipedia. Any ideas for expansion of the pop culture article?--Chaser - T 20:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Sadly, no.--The source of the cosmos... 20:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

XP Easter Eggs
I got your message. I'm ok (don't worry). Do you want to get started on that article idea you had? We could add about a paragraph about the Easter eggs. I suggest starting with a subpage like User:A legend/XP and writing up a paragraph together. How's that sound?--Chaser - T 00:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC) There are some good sources here.--Chaser - T 00:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Let's first do the '4 + 3 + 3 + 5' thing. Where you put in something like 'Bush hid the facts' and you close, then reopen, and BOOM! They're boxes! And the Alt + Shift + 2 accelerator in Solitare!


 * I found an article (and emailed it to you). I added a bit to that subpage. See what you can do from there. I suggest preparing an addition for Easter egg (virtual) or perhaps Features new to Windows XP instead of the main XP article.--Chaser - T 02:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't really know how to help you with an OS. Sorry.--Chaser - T 01:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * What about making money? I'm just DYING for Wii!--The source of the cosmos... 01:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I added the Easter Egg content to an article. Thanks for the idea!--Chaser - T 00:43, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!--The source of the cosmos... 12:13, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I see you posted on Chaser's talk page about PS2. If you have non-Wikipedia, PS2 related questions, feel free to drop me an email (not a talk page post) and maybe I can point you in the right direction.  Best, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 13:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
