Crystal Caves
Hello Bob, welcome to Wikipedia! If you want Crystal Caves to stay, do not overwrite the copyvio notice&mdash;that makes it virtually impossible for us to get rid of the previous copyright infringing text. Follow the instructions and put your non-infringing text at Crystal Caves/Temp. (Your text is now still accessible in the page history at, so you can do a copy/paste.) Once the text is on the temp page, I or some other janitor (or admin) will eventually delete the infringing version and move the temp page in its place. Have fun editing! Lupo 12:33, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Re Wolfman's webpage
Thanks for letting me know. I expect it's someplace. V V 05:01, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)

VfD technique
I corrected a couple of your recent VfD tags, in accordance with the instruction (point 1) at the bottom of VfD to use a "subst" call rather than the default(transclusion) call to the VfD template. I'm not sure what the logic of this practice is, but changes in that instruction have been reverted several times, so i'm confident there's a good reason for it. (Maybe just that doing that is an impediment that cuts down on removals of the VfD tag by vandals and the clueless, who may be confused and intimidated by the formatting codes!) But your instincts look good; hope to see more of your around the 'pedia. --Jerzy(t) 01:25, 2004 Nov 2 (UTC)

I think i know a better reason: MediaWiki can choke on some article names, like KasÄ±mpaÅŸalÄ± Emanuel -- or is it Kas&? -- in some situations; the subst'ed text should be edited to work around the choke, but an editor who sees the default used sometimes, & figures the subst'ed version is just cluelessness, will clobber the workaround. --Jerzy(t) 09:15, 2004 Nov 2 (UTC)

Final Fantasy VI guide on wikibooks
I finished editing the FF6 guide on wikibooks with a walkthrough and a fair overview of the content, although it's low on media and not as exhaustive as one might like. Curious if you had any comments or knew the way in which it should be linked from the wikipedia Final Fantasy VI page. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FF6

TLAs
A proposal has been made at Requested moves to move TLAs from AAA to DZZ and other related pages to Wikipedia namespace. Please visit Talk:TLAs from AAA to DZZ for the related discussion. -- Francs2000 | Talk 00:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

article created at previously VfD'ed location; recreation?
I am contacting you because you were the admin who closed Votes for deletion/Senor Cardgage, and I recently discovered that someone converted the redirect into an article on Senor Cardgage. I know that re-creation of the actual VfDed content would be illegitimate, but I am less sure of the status if, say, the first article was just extremely poor in quality and this was essentially a new article on the subject. Can you look into this and see what you think?

Userboxes
Userboxes in the User: namespace do not belong on Userboxes/Humor. — Natha n (Got something to say? Say it.) 07:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

No, I'm not just making stuff up. See my response. — Natha n (Got something to say? Say it.) 07:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 12:17, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Fantasy World Dizzy Loading Screen.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Fantasy World Dizzy Loading Screen.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  03:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Swordquest Action.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Swordquest Action.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
