Age Of Strife
Hi! I noticed your rather good edit of the Age of Strife article today - it really beafed up the article! :) However, I thought I'd pop over and give a few pointers. When you edit an article you must provide reliable, sources. So for instance in this article, a list of the codexes, rulebooks and other places you got the information from would be excellent. Take a look at the 2 links above (sources and reliable) for information on how to do this.

Also, I am currently gauging support for a Warhammer 40,000 project. If you are interested, sign your name on the page. More details from my subpage.

Again, thank you for your excellent edit. I look forward to more such edits. With more editors like yourself we may well get some of the 40K articles to be Featured. -Localzuk (talk) 11:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice/comments. I look forward to helping out as much as I can in my spare time.

The problem I'm running into (re: references) is that I did that AoS article from my head, and based it on the myriad books I've read since I got into 40K over a decade ago-- it's hard for me to remember exactly what books this info comes from. I have a feeling most of it came from the old Codex Imperialis though. Unfortunately, I'm at the University right now and most of my books are at home, a few hours away...

Again, I'm glad my work is appreciated. :) --DarthBinky 15:44, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Warhammer 40,000 Project started
Hi, I have started to create the Warhammer 40,000 project, and preliminary information is available from WikiProject Warhammer 40,000. Feel free to join in and make changes. There is a fair amount to do before the project starts working properly so we need to have a good go at it :) -Localzuk (talk) 10:56, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Carnifex
Are you done working on this one? I was just about to start doing the very same sort of cleanup you've just done. In no way hassling – just trying to avoid a big edit conflict. If you're still working on it, I'll happily go and do something else for a bit. Cheers --Pak21 21:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've now done a bit of cleanup as well, and it's certainly a much better article than it was an hour ago. Cheers --Pak21 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Rome Total War clans
Stop deleating our stuff or i will report you. P.S. We do have a website just we only tell close members the website. Also i have donated a large sum of money to wikipedia, and i do not appriciate your editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.200.200 (talk • contribs) 19:23, 22 June, 2006 (UTC)

I will stop fiddling around if you like, for now, by the way i have reported you to Mechanismtongs and George Bush. God Save The Queen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.200.200 (talk • contribs) 19:54, 22 June, 2006 (UTC)

i would like to sort this out between us rather than an argument as this is what wiki pedia recomend please leave an answer y you repetedly vandalise pages for your personal gain —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.67 (talk • contribs)

Ok, you say you want to act like an adult, well fine, I'll indulge.

It's not for my "personal gain". I gain nothing by editing here, except the satisfaction that articles that I have an interest in get proper attention. Childish editing of the Rome Total War page, one such article in which I have an interest, is something I seek to fix. However, you DO have something to gain through your vandalism- you are attemtping to advertise your clan by subverting already established articles and redirects, something which is against the aims of Wikipedia.

I have addressed the namecalling on the Rome Total War talk page. If you and your "clan" had bothered to read what was already said there, you'd see that I had already, weeks ago, said I would be removing mention of the clans from that article; it only causes trouble, as we have seen in the past few days. And it's inherently biased, as I have mentioned in RTW's talk page.

And for the last time, there is no L in my username. Cheers --DarthBinky 16:57, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

As a reply i have not vandalised the site in any way and am in the right you have repetedly wiped pages of my personal intrest as i have not done to you and it is not against the rules to state the web adress of a website nor is it against the rules to mention a clan, where as it is aginst the rules to delet pages and comments that you dont agree with, you must learn to listen to others veiws and intrests. but i do thjank you for replying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.67 (talk • contribs)


 * Maybe you personally haven't vandalised pages (although your talk page says otherwise), but members of the clan have.


 * I realize that it's not stated that it is "against the rules" to mention clans. But it is biased, and bias is against the rules.  As shown in the talk for the Jedi Order redirect, mentioning clans not only is biased, but it leads to attacks against the clans in question.


 * Also, please read my comments in the RTW talk page. You'll have to scroll to the bottom of the page.  --DarthBinky 17:07, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I would like to say that it is not biased to describe a paticular clan in detail like we have on the jedi order page nad that it is not biased if you are merly stat the name of the 4 biggest clans it is just stating the facts i have written more on the subject on the RTW discussion page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.67 (talk • contribs)


 * Of course it's biased! What makes those the "four biggest"?  How is that a fact?  What source for that info do you have?  Do you not see what I'm saying?  Why are those four worth mentioning above all others?  Why should Rome, a game that isn't marketed for multiplayer, mention its clans but games that ARE known for their multiplayer (Halo, Halo 2, Quake 3) don't mention them?  I know for a fact that Halo and Halo 2 have clans- I've had college friends who participated in them.  Those pages don't mention clans, so why should Rome?


 * I read what you wrote there, and remain unconvinced- and someone else has weighed in as well.


 * cheers. --DarthBinky 17:22, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

3RR
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.-Localzuk (talk) 18:27, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I have warned both of you about 3RR. If the other user reverts again then I will report it as a violation. I have set out some information on the talk page of the article in question so hopefully they will read it and realise that they are mistaken.-Localzuk (talk) 18:32, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I have now reported the user for violating 3RR. -Localzuk (talk) 19:01, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

3RR
Just a friendly note that you are close to breaching WR:3RR. Just so you know. All the usual notices about possibility of being blocked etc... :) -Localzuk (talk) 14:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Or as Pak21 just reminded me, this is now just vandalism... So revert freely. -Localzuk (talk) 14:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

hi darth binky i would just like to mention that a while ago you claimed that there was no clans mention on wikipedia so i stoped what i was doing but i have found one and was wondering y u have not persecuted it like you did to me here it is X-Fleet Sentinels mr x —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.67 (talk • contribs)

Lexicanum copyright
Are you thinking of this? It seems sane to me. Cheers --Pak21 15:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Is this what you're thinking of? Cheers --Pak21 15:57, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Your User page
"I know Bavaria isn't technically a country, and that England and Scotland are part of the same country"

Actually, England and Scotland are two separate countries; one called "England" and the other called "Scotland".195.93.21.67 09:05, 19 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually they're both part of the United Kingdom, which is the "same country" to which I was referring. However, the real point is that I've visited each.  Whether or not they are technically separate countries wasn't really what I was concerned about, and I'm still not.  Cheers --DarthBinky 17:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Minor edits
Please read Help:Minor edit for information about when an edit should be classified as "minor". As a general rule, deleting information &mdash; even if it is inaccurate, as in the case of your recent edit to U.S. 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment &mdash; should not be considered a minor edit.

All that said, thanks for correcting the article. Twisted86 04:36, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Impersonation
Someone called Darth Blinky has been commenting on my talk page. I have a feeling he's trying to mock you. Hut 8.5 17:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
 * An obvious sockpuppet of User:Mechanismtongs and friends. Indef blocked on username --Pak21 18:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I thought it might be! Thanks Hut 8.5 18:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Heh, it couldn't have been me... I've been away for the past few days due to it being a holiday here in the U.S. Glad everything sorted out nicely. --DarthBinky 20:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hold on, that user has now been making comments on Rome total war online clans, which has been proposed for deletion Hut 8.5 16:03, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
 * He was unblocked to request a username change, but as (s)he went for Pak 22, I've relisted them on WP:AIV... Cheers --Pak21 16:05, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade edit
Wow, there is indeed such a video on gamespot. My apologies for the incorrect edit on the Dark Crusade page, somehow I'd totally missed that particular vid, and thank you for correcting it and being good about it too. Prophaniti 21:53, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi
I am a new user and I noticed you edited the RTW article a lot and I was wondering if there was any thing I could write to help or if you have any other computer game articles you think I might like to edit thanks. Mr Roboto 19:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)



has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{subst:smile}}, {{subst:smile2}} or {{subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing! somebody sent this too me so i thought i had better pass it on --Boris Johnson VC 10:30, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

Atargo and his kin
Sadly I do not have the reference for Atargo. I have sourced alot of this from a couple of websites. It seems most of these old minor gods where mentioned only briefly in old WD's and maybe a parquagh in BL books (theres less Malal's fluff). I am going to try and obtain more info if I can. I am going to post one of the websites I have ontained my info from. http://s2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/ar/t4623.htm The gods I need to vertify are Atargo, Obscuras, Mermedus, Tristaris (seems to be a female aspect of nurgle repersenting misery). So far the only ones that are definatley offical is Khakkekk, though I am not sure on page number etc. The other is Atargo, but I have yet to find a real source. I will keep you posted on progress - NykylaiHellray

Medieval 2 Total War page
You're wrong. if you go to the Total War website you can read that Paganism is still an official religion and that heresy is also classed as a religion

If you go to the Total war website and click on game info, then developer diary, then religion parts 1 and 2, it clearly says "The 5 religions of Medieval 2 total war" it also says "even though there are many more faiths and denominations that could be included in Medieval II: Total War, we decided on five: Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Islam, Paganism and Heresy. The two Christian faiths and Islam represent the primary religions of the game, with Paganism now entering its dying throws in the Old World" Yes it does say "Heresy being not so much a religion itself, but a more general opposition to organised religion" but it clearly says that heresy is classed as a religion in the game despite it not being an actual faith.

okay, that sounds cool. don't you just love coming to an agreement!--Daniel Supreme 16:45, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

medieval 2
i just downloaded the demo of medieval 2, and it runs really slow on my pc. this is weird because i had rome at its highest settings and it worked a dream, got any suggestions

--Daniel Supreme 18:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

thank god for that. i was worried i might have to upgrade my graphics card and RAM (which i really can't afford right now). i can't wait for the released game. i've never been so excited about a game. oops i blasphemed, gotta go, Thanks

I have the same problem, it says my graphics card isent gd enough...--Boris Johnson VC 10:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

John Kerry
Well, at first I was upset to see that you wiped out the paragraph that I had just worked pretty hard to make NPOV... then I saw that there was indeed another section that was better, and already had everything I had tried to put in. I just wish people would read an entire article before starting a second section about something that is already covered. Anyway, all's well that ends well. 6SJ7 04:14, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
