 * What are you asking me if I'm Quemesh? No, I'm not. I do know who he is. He is the webmaster for "Secrets of the Seven Stars" Keiji Dragon 07:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok, 'cuz you said, "I wish not to state my real name until I feel that it is ready and appropiate", so I decided to guess. :-) By the way, do you know how to get to the secret page on that site, and how did you get a scan for the reference you added to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars? Taric25 16:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * 1] That was a long ago. 2] You're guess is as good as mine. 3] Reference? You mean the Debug Mode pictures? They were lost in the SMRPG Legacy forum. Actually, I think there somewhere in my disc collection somewhere. . . Thanks for contacting me! Keiji Dragon 02:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Actually, I did not mean the Debug Mode pictures. I meant this image. I was wondering how you got that link, since I couldn't find it myself, when I visited the site. Taric25 04:41, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Super Mario RPG lists
Currently, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has two lists pertaining to it (List of characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). User:TTN decided it would be best to merge the lists into the main article and split Smithy Gang into those articles. I recently merged Smithy Gang into the list of chatacters by removing the non-notable characters, and I have asserted that a cameo section in the list of characters is valid, per Trivia sections and Handling trivia that uses Alex Trebek as a good example. I have suggested that we rename the articles per Requested moves to something along the lines of Characters of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and World of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) just like Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and World of Final Fantasy VI or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII). I believe if these articles are to evolve beyond a non-notable list, they should be renamed. For example, List of Final Fantasy VII locations was merged into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), because a World article is notable, but a simple list of locations is not. That is why there are other secions of the article to make it a World article. It simply has not been renamed yet.

TTN believes the citations in the development and reception sections of the list of locations, books and magazines, are trivial sources. When I added that the 3D perspective of the game is reminicent of Equinox to the main article, TTN removed it since my souce was "the opinions of the Nintendo Power player's guide writers". Although it was actually Nintendo Power magazine, I do believe a magazine is a reliable source, and I gave a page from Next Generation Magazine which also said the same thing. In addition, I was surprized that TTN said that it was from the players guide, since he claims to own the players guide for the game. He has not verified this, since I asked him for citations in May, "Could you look in the back of the Player's Guide and tell me what “types” of … Magic? I forgot what they call it in the game … well, anyways, what types of Special Attack or whatever it is (actually, could you find out what it's called?) there are? I remember some vaguely when I owned the guide like “Fire”, “Jump”, “Electricity?”, etc. Could you provide a citation, like the page number with a quote in context?" TTN replied that he was going to "get to it" (User talk:TTN/Archive 5). TTN claims the player's guide is "at the bottom of a box that's behind at least five others in a cramped space". Seeing that TTN did not recognize that the page was not from the player's guide when I provided a scan of the page in question from Nintendo Power shocked me. However, I have continued to assume good faith by not questioning TTN's honesty.

Per Consensus, I have offered five different reasonable, temporary compromises that might integrate my idea with TTN's. TTN rejected my compromise because it still keeps the articles. I agreed I would consider a redirect, but Article size does not allow that, since the list of locations is currently 82 KB long. Instead, I agreed to help cut down the geography section that is the bulk of the article, but TTN rejected that as well because TTN states, "I am not interested in working on the article in regards to improving it." and "get past this "having sources automatically means that this information is good" mentality." TTN states, "I don't think they have or will ever assert notability." I have replied with, "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so if you don't think the articles will ever assert notability, we cannot yet know this, per Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.
 * 1) Go over the list of characters so we can delete non–notable characters
 * 2) Rename the articles by following the steps at Requested moves.
 * 3) Cut down the geography section list of locations by cutting it into the regional maps the adventures use when traveling from one to another. I can get pictures and write the fair use rationals, and someone can cut down the text that has no citation and does not allude to other media.
 * 4) Write the concept and creation and reception sections for the list of characters
 * 5) Write the concept and creation section for the main article

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
I see that you're working on getting that article up and running. I'm really sick of dealing with it, so could you try to get the two lists redirected back to the article? For the characters, only the one paragraph on the main characters needs to be merged (that should have stayed in the first place). The plot summary covers any other secondary characters, and the minor, one-shot bosses shouldn't really receive any mention at all. As you can see, the information in the settings list is mostly redundant to the information in the main article. The left over information is a far cry from being article building. That would only require one paragraph to describe the overall sense of the world. TTN (talk) 13:34, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, Dragon DASH, thank you for creating the article about the game's soundtrack. The article is in need of expansion. Also, I see that you've taken almost everything I wrote from the development of the game's world, such as its landscapes, graphics, and physics, and copied it into the main article. I think the main article should give readers a wider view of the game's development and that we should give only give a brief summary of the world's devlopment and include summaries of the devlopment of game's music, characters, etc. That way, the reader may have a general idea of the game's delvelopment from the main article and can read more detain in the other articles. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page.  ☺   Thanks! Taric25 (talk) 19:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Mother
I stand corrected, I didn't see the interview part. That being said, YoutTube is not the best of source, mainly because videos get pulled out so quickly these days that it's not even funny. I would recommend finding another source because if that video is taken down, there goes your proof. Duhman0009 (talk) 20:24, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:NEO title screen 240.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NEO title screen 240.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 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.

RE edits
Hi Dragon DASH,

Let me start by saying that it's great to have you back editing more. I noticed you have been gone for more or less a year with editing. Now for the nasty part, I noticed your edits on Resident Evil. I don't know why, but you added unnecessary nowiki tags to the references for some reason. Not a bad thing at all, just wondering why. The common spelling of cutscene is... cutscene, and not cut-scene. And per WP:MOSLQ, punctuation goes after apostrophes. I.e., Resident Evil is the first "surival horror". and not Resident Evil is the first "survival horror." -- unless it is a straight quote, then the period goes before. Sorry for this annoying message :) Hope to see more of your edits! Kind regards, --Soetermans. T / C 11:01, 27 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the welcome back comment. It wasn't my intention to add "nowiki" tags for references. I count that as a bug for using the Edit[beta] tab. As for punctuation, I guess the journalistic approach for placing apostrophes before punctuation is best for quoted text here. I'll keep that in mind. As for cutscene and cut-scene, I usually have a hard time discerning the two, but I guess that's where I need to learn about that from here. --OKeijiDragon. T / C 04:50, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
