Do you think it's acceptable to have non formatted at all refs in a GA? And Pokefair refers to pictures, you can use it for nearly everything. H ig hway Daytrippers  06:35, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Clearly "It does not limit the copyright owners rights to sell the game. " makes it completely inappropriate for use within non game related photos.--I&#39;ll bring the food 22:07, 24 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Additionally are you just trying to get me to use it because you were heavily involved in its creation? That is highly inappropriate.--I&#39;ll bring the food 22:10, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I have noticed even with citations added with accessed on blah blah type stuff they are all too long and wordy in format. Could you suggest a smaller formatting that would include the website's/book's name, date published and accessed? Got any good article examples? Take a look at the first 3 footnotes. They're bloody 2 lines long each. That's far too long, would you suggest an improvement? You're clearly more versed on this and I need advice.--I&#39;ll bring the food 21:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, sorry man. It was a very close run thing (nail biting, I'd say), and I hope you do choose to run again in March.

 * The images were decided not to be used; right now this user editted the template so it is a copy of Digimon episode then asked an admin to protect it on that version so images that fail fair use criteria #3 can be shown in the template. Ryūlóng 20:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Blanking

 * Cite that rule, I'd like to see where you are allowed to blank talk pages. Seriously, you are acting stubborn because you want to get your own way.  The only person who had a problem with it was you.  Inforazer 13:39, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Highway. I knew there was no way that I could better your wonderful EA elections thanks template thing, so I thought I'd write a simple message.

I don't really care about this enough to pursue it further. It's really petty. -- Steel 16:14, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally I'd just let him re-add it because it's not as if the world is going to end if it's not removed and discussing it with him is like talking to a brick wall. Though you're not the kind of person who'll do that easily (which isn't a bad thing, I guess). I suppose you could bring it up at WP:ANI but I don't think much will happen. Sorry. -- Steel 16:30, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Or you could just keep reverting each other til one of you gets bored. Though I don't really recommend that. -- Steel 16:44, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, oddly enough at this point it is really petty and pointless. I just don't like users making a habit of shooting down other people when the intention is to improve the article. Inforazer 17:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Can we all agree to just drop this now? -- Steel 17:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The discussion shouldn't be blanked though. To me, it's like him trying to get his own way because he doesn't like it. Inforazer 17:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Well it isn't. Please assume good faith. H ig hway <sup style="color:#CCCCFF;">Daytrippers  17:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia's Shortest Mediation

Just in case you were wondering, I think I'll put it up on Nov. 1st (or near then), because it seems like a nice day. -- Nataly a  05:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

 * You can always write them up anytime, and just copy and paste once it's up, since you know what the questions will be. And so I don't have to start another thread, Banes is still around (as far as I am aware); he has still be active in council related things, and has still been around Wikipedia, just not as actively.  I believe his message is just functioning to let people know that he is rather busy, as many of us often get.  As for the bigger picture, the runner-up from the last election will replace any vacancies, should that occur (that's you!).  Don't go knocking anyone off, though... ;) -- Nataly a  14:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there Highway! No reason to be sorry for asking; I did cast a vote for Shreshth91 at the end of the election (here). It's in the history of the voting page, as well.

Sorry
I realize that I acted rude towards you in both the Kirby article and the Wario article. Namely the Wario article because, most likely, it was my first FA and I was annoyed that you were FARing it, and while I still think your references standard is too extreme, the Wario article should not have been FA; bad prose and grammar, incomplete facts, and a lot of things going unreferenced. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Adminship again
I've just started college, and it's been eating up all my time and energy; I don't have half the time to contribute to Wikipedia that I used to. So adminship may not be the best idea, now. --Sparky Lurkdragon 17:38, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what was so wrong with the original template to warrent a redesign. Also, could you, in future, please use the discussion page to... well, discuss major layout/content changes? Thank-you. --MarkKB 10:20, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It's OK, it's just that it was a rather abrupt change. Felix is on the 'Other minor allies' page, so I didn't feel it necessary to link him. Thanks for your quick response! --MarkKB 10:43, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

You don't have descriptions for your archives anymore!


That's too bad, I always enjoyed reading them. But more importantly...

 * Good question. I think I was in the mindset of scheduling the Esperanza council meeting, and wasn't really having much brain function when I posted.  It's probably because you were so close to being on the council that I equated it with you. -- Nataly a  02:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Editing problem (and other unrelated things)
Sorry for taking so long to get back on this, Highway! Glad to see that you're back, by the way. Though I'm sure you have more exposure to the Pikachu article, my thinking is that for the time being, it's fine to leave it unprotected; yes, it's getting vandalized, but it's a very popular article, and therefore invites more vandalism than many less-notable articles. If the vandalism seems to become more concentrated, though, perhaps protection is appropriate. I may not be the best admin to ask though, for whenever there is doubt, I'm more for leaving things unprotected. ;)

That's good about putting up the RfA questions, that will also give me a place to draft out and edit the nomination, which I'll work on over this week. Feel free to edit your the responses to your questions as you feel the need before I put it up on the 3rd. I'm excited for you! -- Nataly a 17:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I often find that reading through things I written at some point after I wrote them gives me good ideas of things to phrase better/convey better/generally edit. It's up to you if you want to change anything, but you can always look at comments people had about your previous question answers (unless you did already) if you want to see what people might think.  Most importantly, just convey what is important to you! -- Nataly a  22:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Shiny Pokémon Images
Hey, Highway, I left a new post on the Talk Page for Torchic: "Hey, see this PokeBeach.com page for a near-rendition of the first 386 Shiny Pokémon!" After looking at the Title Bar after submitting the original entry in that article, I realised it was spelled as PokeBeach.com and not PokéBeach, so I have made the changes here accordingly. In any case, you (or anyone else, for that matter) might wish to use the images for Pokémon articles on Wikipedia. I just posted it over here and over there on a "just in case" basis. The choice of whether you (or anyone else) want to use it or not is at your (or that person's) discretion. -- A. Exeunt 13:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S. If you (or anyone else) do, please remember to give credit where credit is due since Wikipedia is a public website! -- A. Exeunt 13:26, 25 October 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 20:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
