Other speedy deletion templates
Just thought that you'd care to know that there's a whole bunch of variations on db in Category:Speedy deletion templates. Most are like db but give a preset reason. I've used db-nonsense and db-bio quite a bit when I've done new page patrol. — TKD::Talk 10:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The Green Mile
I have no idea whether your statement about uniforms is true or not. What is the source of that information? Because, technically, the reverter doesn't have to disprove it, the asserter has to prove it. :) Wahkeenah 12:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note. Yes, the dilemma is that it is clearly an obscure "fact", and it's unclear whether the deletion was implicitly denying that "fact" or if it was just done for the sake of random deletion. I am always skeptical of unexplained changes by a-nones. If it happens again that way, we can assume it's either vandalism or obstinance. Wahkeenah 13:07, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

User page
Some a-none is messing with your user page. A "wiki nanny", as it were. One deleted comment reminded me of a couple of obscure quotes. Feel free to misquote me:
 * "Violence is justified in the service of mankind." -- Atilla the Hun (as per Love and Death).
 * We should all love our fellow man. I realize that there are some who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that! -- Tom Lehrer

I don't know much about the wiki rules, so I don't know if you're "allowed" to make "polemic" statements or not. However, I am pretty sure it is against the rules for others (especially a-nones, in my opinion) to alter your page. They should post something on your talk page if they don't like it, but I don't think they should be messing with the page itself. That's just my opinion, I could be Dennis Miller. :) Wahkeenah 14:30, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The fact that a-none called your reinstatement of your own words "vandalism" tells me that the guy is just messing around with your page, or is an idiot, or both. Making changes to your own page might be subject to discussion, but is hardly "vandalism". I've seen a-nones and recently-registered sockpuppets use that term to "justify" repeated reversions of their own reversions, or simply to remove or reinstate something they disagree about. The Matt Leinart page is a good example of that. Wahkeenah 15:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Disgusted
I am quite appalled by your disgusting views on Electronic Arts and must ask you to remove the despicable comments from your user page immediately. The allegations that Electronic Arts is a company driven by a "lust for profits" and is "driving companies, workers and gaming franchises into the ground" is not only baseless and most vile but dangerously close to libel as well. Electronic Arts have provided the gaming community with first rate games for decades now and will continue to do so in the future. Log in at www.ea.com to find out about EA's latest products.


 * Libel or not, the man has a point. EA does love their money.  Notice how many Medal of Honor and Sims expansion packs there have been?  Say you paid for the original Sim and all eight expansion packs at a decent price.  You have paid probably well over $100 to $150 for a good Sims experience which is at least two to three times what you should pay.  They also work the crap out of their employees.  The numerous games they pump out year after year must only be because they work their employees like dogs.  Hell, they even had to pay compensation to overworked in the past.  And sure they put out good games every now and then, but most of their titles are either sequels or licensed games and not much that's sincerely original, with the exception of the upcoming Spore.  Drat has a huge point in this regard that they "lust for profits".  Vgamer101 17:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Categories in templates
Just saw the issue with The Goon Show template. When you add an includeonly category to a template, it seems to take a while for the server to catch up and update all of the pages on which the template's included, unless you go and null edit (edit and save without changing anything; it doesn't leave an actual revision change entry) those pages. I frankly don't remember doing that when I created the Red vs Blue category, though, but I did have to do it when I went and added the auto-category stuff to RoosterTeeth. — TKD::Talk 14:43, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Odd coincidence
Somehow you managed to edit two totally unrelated articles that are on my (small) watchlist, Jets'n'Guns and Something Awful.

On removing my AfD from P-P-P-Powerbook
True, I did remove the AfD from the page in question, but I also added a comment saying why I did that. It was not my intent to vandalize Wikipedia, but since noone knew why the page was nominated for deletion, I saw no reason to let the sign be there. 62.242.0.66 13:15, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Minor Orphanbot issue
Orphanbot told me I had uploaded an untagged image, Image:Wikiwings2.png. All I did was upload an optimised version over the original. I did not specify a tag as the image page retains the current info.--Drat (Talk) 12:21, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I just noticed the relevant discussion above. By the way, I use a similar message on optimisation uploads, but I use the string "Optimised with OptiPNG.". Will Orphanbot accept the alternate capitalisation (and the habitual period)?--Drat (Talk) 12:35, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I just noticed Orphanbot restored the "no license" tag, which I removed (as there is obviously a license). I won't remove it a second time, as the same will likely happen again.--Drat (Talk) 14:43, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. There was a bug where, if OrphanBot found page with a tag (like NowCommonsThis) that it knows doesn't specify anything about copyright, and another tag that it doesn't know anything about, it would tag the image as "no license" rather than reporting the unknown tag to me.  I've fixed the bug.


 * OrphanBot now accepts other capitalizations for "optimized by", but when you posted, it didn't. --Carnildo 18:51, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Machinima stub
Belated thanks for creating the machinima stub and category. I've been very busy lately, so my activity on Wikipedia will probably be a bit lower for a little while. (On top of work, the usual culprit, there are some games, old and new(ish) that I've left uncompleted for some time. :)).

Anyway, I've been pondering the viability of a WikiProject Machinima for some time. WikiProjects suggests that 5 editors is probably the minimum level of interest to offset the overhead of a WikiProject. I don't know whether we have that many — at least counting those who have an interest in something outside of Red vs Blue (nothing against RvB, of course, but it's not WikiProject Red vs Blue that I'm looking for, at least not at this time). I do think that having a sort of centralized to-do list, style guidelines, etc., might be helpful, at a minimum. In fact, I've drawn up a rough cut of an essay at User:TKD/Writing about machinima, based on my experiences. Feel free to edit it or let me know what you think; you've been around longer.

By the way, have a barnstar:

Deletion of Deletion Status
I recently deleted the deletion status off of an Angels and Airwaves single, and I was notified that it was vandalism. I was told that I shouldn't remove deletion status until there is a mass consensus that it should be removed. However, I was under the impression that the majority of the people discussing the topic agreed that it should be removed. What sort of consensus needs to be met in order for a user to remove deletion status? --sigloiv 19:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Re
Although I do see what you mean, I find it very unreasonable that some one like me, who has joined with the intention of contributing to Wikipedia, is unable to add a link to a site to a list of site, even though the administrators of other sites, which have no intention of contributing to Wikipedia are alowed there sites links on there. If I am unbale to have the site link on them pages then surely no other site should be alowed either, addiations why have a, “fansites” area when one of the leading fan sites is unbale to have it’s link there. I do try and contribute to topics, which I am interested in but, it is some times hard to do so when so many other people are editing the area 9 times out of 10 before me.

Thanks, Ryan.

Sidstation
I can confirm that roumour about the blue sidstation (since i spoke to the guy who sold it and I know a friend of him). Do you think that the information is still trivial? There are probably not more than 5 or 6 red beta-sidstations either. The two blue units ought to fetch a high price in the market and, maybe therefore the information should be there? it's a really rare collectors item?

Notability and speedy deletion
Just a heads up that the criteria for speedy deletion don't allow for speedy deletion if there is any assertion of notability, which I think there is in The Wahttehhog, as tenuous as it may be (10,000 viewers isn't much, but it is an assertion). I've retagged the article as a proposed deletion. — TKD::Talk 08:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Greetings
Saw your user page after editing LGS (disambiguation), and noticed you and I have a lot in common- Red Dwarf, Monty Python, old computer games (like Doom) and several similar pet hates, especially those who judge games on graphics alone (speaking of which, have you played Commander Keen? You can download it for free as ID software released it: try Dos Games (link to zip file).

Anyway, there was a point to this post (somewhere). Ah yes, as the creator to LGS (disambig), do you have an opinion on removing Leeds Grammar from the redirect on LGS? It's not exactly a major change, but thought I'd check anyway.

More LoadingReadyRun
Hi, I'm Graham from LoadingReadyRun and I wanted to ask about the article.

Firstly, the original content was written by some fans of the site (which was awesome), and we're now on board trying to making things a little more concise and professional looking. Thanks for the week's grace.

I have a question about citations. How exactly would you like us to prove the various things we say? Take GEE Mag for example. It is true, I have a copy, but the best I could find on their site is some people talking about it in their forums (in German). There's some things it seems like we just can't prove beyond a shadow of doubt. Would posting a photo of the magazine work? Sorry, but I'm new to using Wikipedia and I'd appreciate the help.

thanks, -Graham

RvB characters
Do you have any further thoughts on how to handle the Tex situation? I've let it simmer for a few days, and I almost think that the best solution might be to start splitting the significant characters into their own articles, for reasons that I've outlined on Talk:Red vs Blue. I'm not 100% satisfied wit this idea, but I don't like the imbalance that's otherwise going to result from having more information on some characters than others (i.e., Tex's section is going to be rather long).

Your comments about the TriOptimum page
Hey Drat,

You might recognize me from the TTLG forums where I go by the name ZymeAddict. I don't know if you recall, but I recently made a post asking for good screenshots for the SS1 and SS2 wiki pages and you corrected my slightly erroneous warnings about posting pics on Wikipedia. ;)

Anyway, I just recently read your Wiki user page and noticed you thought the TriOptimum page (which I created incidently) was rather too small a topic for a whole seperate page. First I must say (newbie though I am) that I politely disagree. Given its nature as a fictional megacorporation, it seemed to me it was just as disserving of a page as such fictional entities as the Union Aerospace Corporation, Blue Sun, or VersaLife from Deus Ex. Also I do plan on adding more about their actual products (such as there computer AIs, cyborgs, and replicating machines) in the future, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

As a newbie to Wikipedia, however, I was kind of wondering about what you would think would be a better setup. Maybe a joint UNN/TriOp page? Thanks again for your help.

I'm not spamming instead I'm trying to add a link that has a more in depth resource about the TV show than you article on wikipedia. My website is not commercial trying to gain publicity to sell products and despite the fact that the website has only been published I've been working on it on and off since mid 2005. I still don't understand why those websites that have links to them are indeed allowed while mine is shunned. Maybe you could tell me how I could you link to my website rather that pointing out why I can't.

Thanks for the message you sent me. First the copyright message at the bottom is located on most websites and is the norm. Secondly as far as copyright goes I have written permission by Terry Brain the creator of The Trap Door after I had written to him at Aardman Animations in the United Kingdom. Thirdly thanks for noticing the spell error as you keep pointing out the site is new and not yet completed but not far off however there is plenty of info on the site that goes beyond your entry on Wikipedia. To finish off with what are the main problems with my site not being listed. If its the age do i have to wait around 7 years and would it be accepted should someone else add the link themselfs?

Thanks for your help.

Tyrian music
Drat, I saw that you removed the Music section I created in the Tyrian article. I apologise for it's ambiguous and possibly informal nature, however, I added it because the information on exactly what music format Tyrian 2000 uses (info that is suprisingly hard to find for someone without a hard-copy of T2000) is difficult to find. I, and i'm sure many other gamers, use Wikipedia as a source of information on old and classic games. To me, it's very frustrating when you download an old game only to find out that it's missing something, and that something is usually the music. Scouring the internet for an hour looking for whether the game has CD-audio is a pain in the arse, thats why I want the information in the Wikipedia article.

Most people who find the Tyrian 2000 download on World Tree Games or the iiNet fansite would be led to believe it's the full thing. No-where does it say that it's a rip (feel free to prove me wrong). Yes, the 4mb filesize is a slight giveaway, but as the original Tyrian used small LDS midi's for it's music, and as that many people aren't familiar with the notion of ripped games, they could be forgiven for thinking that the download is the full thing, which it isn't. I'd love it if you could improve the section, as I don't know very much about the actual songs or their genre.--Obeejw 07:26, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
