Re: List of characters in Golden Sun
Thanks for the reply. I used "list of" in parallel to a few other series' character articles with "list" in their titles, namely Knights of the Old Republic, Fire Emblem, FEAR, Psychonauts, and whatnot. Admittedly, I hadn't looked at the Final Fantasy character articles and had assumed that this was the standard for naming these types of articles.—Theodorel 07:17, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your tireless work de-fluffing this article! --haha169 (talk) 05:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The defluffery of those sections were certainly harder than you'd think, as it was pretty much completely rewriting them all to be shorter. ;) Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 06:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

 * My removing that image was intentional because it's part of a Featured Article effort... It's just so hard for me to remember-do the research for what syntax I use to prod those image pages, sometimes. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 16:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Absolutely. My style is that whenever I get a bot notice I either remove it or make an educational comment for everyone to read. It's not addressed to the bot. ;) Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 05:46, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Er, no? Bots are self-running programs that only react based on fulfilled conditions anywhere and everywhere on Wiki. They are not people; the only way they could be "people" is that they are created and maintained by users. :/ Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 17:59, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

It almost seems like every user on Wikipedia who's done imagework is getting loads of bot messages like that now that there's tangible fair-use-purging campaigns in effect. I've seen some users whose entire talk pages consist of bot image messages. Those last two messages I got were for images I don't necessarily care about nowadays...

Smash Wiki Troubles
Poor Smashwiki! I've been trying and trying to access it today but it keeps giving me an SQL error and other bugs. I think their server must really be conking out. I was anxious to check if Lyn was already mentioned on there... Do you know of any legit way to donate a little moolah to them? I don't want that site to crash and burn... Nintenboy01 20:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It had been about three days since it started doing that, but just now I went on there and the problem seems to have been alleviated. I'm not sure if monetary donations would've helped that specific issue... Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 06:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

If only we still had keepers...
I found a rather...interesting edit the other day. I never got to see your keepers page, but this probably would have been good for it. At the very least I thought it was amusing.

 * Intriguing. Eh, both of them. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 18:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Here's another one. Do you think he likes moles? The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 23:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, there seems to be an affinity to moles exhibited by the user in that editor, but that's just my interpretation of the work. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 05:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Hehe... I fear that this will be Speedied before you get to see it, but this is a prime example of Wikidenial. Apparently, this user thought that the user warnings I placed on his page were messages from the gods of Wikipedia (or perhaps, the supreme god, Wikipedia itself) and decided to make a page entitled "Shut the hell up wikipedia," with the following sentence of content: ''Shut up okay wikipedia? Its dec 3rd and u know it so shut the hell up okay? I'm a bit sad about the date being changed to "TBD" as well, but...  You Can '  t See Me! '' 02:18, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Aww. I wanted to see it for myself, but it's already gone. Oh, and for passer-bys: this is referring to the release date of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was December 3rd for quite a while, but now it may wind up being delayed, hence TBD (to be determined). Hmm, Wikipedian gods... The world&#39;s hungriest paperweight 04:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * THE HORROR! I just hope Mario Galaxy doesn't suddenly get delayed too. And hopefully Robotnik, Tails and Ridley will be in Brawl as well... That'll help make a delay easier to stomach. Nintenboy01 18:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It'll probably be delayed until early 2008, which is what one source puts the Japanese release date at apparently... I can imagine a lot of people's christmases being ruined over that, but I don't mind it that much because I know that the developers' taking THAT much of a schedule alteration will ensure a quality product. That's what ultimately counts. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 18:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Gah, it's been pushed back to February for the US! Oh well, as long as they take the time to add new content and iron out the bugs IGN mentioned, I'll be satisfied... Nintenboy01 19:57, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:GoldenSunMtAleph.png
Thanks for uploading Image:GoldenSunMtAleph.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Golden Sun Userboxes
Hi Erik! I've had a makeshift Jupiter Adept userbox on my hidden page for quite some time. I didn't think of making it into an actual userbox until now, though, so earlier today, I added four GS userboxes to my userspace. You're the only user I know from the Golden Sun project, so I thought maybe you might want one. Perhaps you know of others who might want one. Have a look:

Regards,  You Can '  t See Me!  00:36, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Interesting! But "Golden Sun project"? I doubt there's an actual Wikiproject dedicated to Golden Sun on Wikipedia. (That's how the way you worded it implied ;) ) And the userboxes are appreciated of course. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 07:40, 27 September 2007 (UTC)


 * There isn't a GS Wikiproject? Okay, nevermind. Eh heh... ^_^'
 * Anyways, enjoy!  You Can '  t See Me!  04:15, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

No More D.E.
Looks like ol' DisgruntledEditor was blocked forevermore due to his vandalism on Pope Benedict's article, where he said he looked like Uncle Fester. Eh, that was probably too sensitive to put in Keepers if it still existed anyway... Nintenboy01 14:43, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar time!

 * It made it!? WOW!!! I'm tempted to say that's even better than the barnstar. :D TLA will be a pleasure, then. I will need to give the whole page another massive rewrite to model it after the Golden Sun FA, so no need to bother editing the current version until then. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 05:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

FE Piccies
Heya Erik, I found this cute image of Beeze, the only playable female Raven in Radiant Dawn. Think it qualifies for fair usage on Wikipedia? Not even the Fire Emblem Wiki has this pic. Can't wait for this game though, and along with Mario Galaxy it'll help tide me over until Brawl comes out in February...(an ETERNITY in gaming time) Nintenboy01 16:48, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I figure anything fair-use is frowned upon on Wikipedia and everyone else would say don't use fair-use if you can at all avoid it... Strict rules to be sure. These rules are majorly lightened up at separate wikis, however - any relevant image is pretty much fair game in a wiki like one about Fire Emblem (didn't know there was a FE Wiki!). It should have been up at the FE wiki already. ;) Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 17:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)


 * There appear to be Wikis for just about everything nowadays, even for Golden Sun (Whoever starts them up must be really devoted fans). I got some great animated GIFs from Wikitroid, like this one. Due to the heavy revert warring and legalism on Wikipedia, especially for the Brawl article, I prefer to just sit back and watch people argue while here and devote my editing time to focused Wikis. Nintenboy01 20:50, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You kidding for "even for Golden Sun"? Golden Sun Universe and SmaskWiki are where I put most of my editing work into nowadays. Apparently I do so much editing over at Golden Sun Wikia that someone once thought I was the wiki's creator. ;D Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 21:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I bet even that site's founder never dreamed he would get a regular contributor with such passion for the GS games (though they really are good titles). I was just a little surprised someone devoted an entire Wikia to Golden Sun since there are only two games in the series so far. However, since a new FE game is coming to DS I think there's hope for a new Golden Sun too. Nintenboy01 15:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Especially given this interview from last week. I'd say that there is hope!  You Can '  t See Me!  00:42, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Radiant Dawn is Out
Ah, finally Radiant Dawn is out! I worked hard to build a good team in Path of Radiance so I can transfer their stats over. Once you've beaten the game and gotten over the spoilers, could you take a look at the article on Wiki? It could use some work and I know you have the "magic touch". Thanks. I'll try and clean it up a bit too once I've played thru the game myself. Nintenboy01 14:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It's out already? Still got Metroid Prime 3 to beat... But yeah, I think of my self as an editor who works by request. ^_^ Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 22:19, 6 November 2007 (UTC)


 * If you were able to beat Echoes, you shouldn't have much trouble with Corruption as it really is a bit shorter and easier. Also it looks like many other users have already made adjustments to the Dawn article though. Once I finish the game I'll check ito ut again. Nintenboy01 16:30, 7 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I got my own copy of Radiant Dawn just a couple of days ago. Quite good so far, and definitely tougher than PoR (By the way if you plan to upload your PoR Epilogue data, make sure you have no Easy-mode files or it'll freeze!) Once I'm done I'll flesh out the character list info a bit more, although some other folks have already added some good stuff. Nintenboy01 (talk) 18:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree on all those. :) When and how would one upload Epilogue data, though? I haven't seen that option presented. Now, my FE memory card hasn't been put into the Wii yet, but that's probably a good thing because there's three save files on there, one per difficulty. O_O Anyway, the Radiant Dawn article seems it'll be in good shape even without my investigating... Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 22:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There should be a File Upload option somewhere in the game's menus. I had one Normal and one Hard epilogue file, and the data uploaded without problems. If it's not too critical you could probably just delete the Easy mode file. 90% of people who tried uploading an easy file suffered from the glitch, it seems. The benefits you get will be a +2 stat bonus for every stat that a Level 20 unit in PoR maxed out, and support conversations will be transferred over and can be viewed anytime (some of them, like Ike and Soren's A support, will even affect RD's ending.) Nintenboy01 (talk) 15:52, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting; and here I thought data transfer would make characters maxed out and it would be practically cheating... Thanks for the insight. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 18:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Characters in Castlevania: Sorrow series
Has been nominated for FA status here. Just thought I'd let you know as you were the original creator the article. Regards, Sephiroth BCR  ( Converse ) 05:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool! Thanks for that. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 18:37, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Vertical Lines in Metroid Prime 3?
Hey Erik, I've been meaning to ask you... If you go up close to a solid wall texture in MP3 (especially if it's greyish or brownish) do you notice some faint vertical lines on the screen? It's kinda similar to the problem with Zelda Wind Waker, but I wanted to check if other players have the same issue. I hope it's normal and my Wii isn't defective! Other games seem to look okay at least. Nintenboy01 (talk) 23:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I just checked closely: I don't see any faint vertical lines at all, and I never noticed any with Zelda Wind Waker during the time I had played it... So it's likely a problem that just you have. However, this sounds more like it's an issue with your TV itself, rather than the systems. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 05:00, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Here's something more explicit: Try looking up at the sky in Twilight Princess, especially if it's a little dark or greyish blue. It's full of obvious vertical lines and it's most visible in Ordon Village during the day. It looks the same even on my friend's Wii on a different TV. However, we are both using S-video cables instead of composite. Nintenboy01 (talk) 21:28, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Muarim Bug
Say Erik, I just wanted to ask if Muarim's character description in your copy of Radiant Dawn is also a duplicate of Mist's. What an unforgivable oversight! Nintenboy01 (talk) 05:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * True facts on both points. :P Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 07:28, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Opinion Appreciated
Hello Erik, I don't believe we have crossed paths on Wikipedia before but I see on your user page that you were one of those who discussed the merging of each individual Pokémon species article into lists. There is currently a discussion underway at Talk:List of Pokémon anime characters on whether to do the same for the Pokémon character articles. Your opinion and input would be appreciated in this discussion, if you would like to take part. MelicansMatkin (talk) 04:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the species lists are the only thing I really pay attention to on Wikipedia's Pokemon project, but in concept I'd agree with merging most of the anime characters into that one list page in the same fashion (Ash and perhaps Misty and Brock might warrant their own pages, though). The discussion over there looks pretty heated, though, which is something I always try to avoid. But thanks for the post. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 19:16, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

List of Characters
Hello Erik, I happened to notice that you have made a substantionally large amount of edits involving Golden Sun, so I'll ask you for you expert opinion on these two questions. One, I inserted an image of the GS:TLA characters on the list page, good or bad idea. Two, if it was a good Idea, than do any antagonists deserve images? Thanks!-- Ezekiel 7:19 S†rawberry Fields (sign) 16:50, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't check here recently. The TLA image is definitely a good idea in my opinion. The antagonists, on the other hand, probably shouldn't have images because there'd be too many images for Wikipedia policy to agree with. Erik Jensen (Appreciate or Laugh At) 20:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Golden Sun is the first installment of a series of fantasy role-playing video games developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Nintendo. It was released in November 2001 for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance, followed by a sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, in 2003. The game is notable for certain unique game elements, such as the use of special "Djinn" that empower the player and can be used against enemies. Golden Sun's story follows a band of magic-attuned "adepts" who are sent from their home town into the wide world of Weyard to prevent the potentially destructive power of alchemy from being released as it was in the past. Along the way the adepts gain new abilities, help out the local populations, and learn more about why alchemy was sealed away. The story continues in The Lost Age. Upon its release, the game was highly praised; IGN's Craig Harris wrote that Golden Sun could "arguably be one of the best 2D-based Japanese RPGs created for any system." The game went on to sell over one million copies in Japan and the United States. A second sequel, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, is scheduled for release in 2010. (more...)
