Welcome!
 Big shiny welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Firefly WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Firefly's coverage of topics.

A few features that you might find helpful:


 * The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:


 * Starting some new articles? Our style guidelines outline some things to include.
 * Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Firefly article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow Browncoat, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Keep flyin'plange 01:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Game Templates
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer and video games

rv, you keep changing the template to standards that haven’t been finalized yet, you're jumping the gun

rv, again, changes weren't brought up on talk page like required, plus it doesn't follow Navbox generic standards, which is norm for these navboxes


 * Template:Zelda games
 * Template:Mario series
 * Template:Donkey Kong series
 * Template:Pokémon games
 * Template:Super Smash Bros. series
 * Template:Nintendo Wars series
 * Template:Wario series
 * Template:Ogre Battle series
 * Template:Metal Gear series
 * Template:Star Fox series
 * Template:Metroid series
 * Template:Pikmin series
 * Template:Kid Icarus series

Marvel: Ultimate Alliance
Just as a heads up: the villain list is getting insanely too big. The "dark" versions of characters are only used in training missions, which in my opinion isn't notable enough to be listed. I've posted a section on the talk page about this, but I doubt it will get many responses. It seems like most of the people that edit the page, don't check the talk page alot.

Re: Mathbot missing importance
There is a bit of a bug with Mathbot. Whenever it does quality stats boxes, like Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Canada-related articles by quality statistics, it doesn't link to the importance categories, and will infact remove the links if they have been added when it updates, like here. Just wanted to let you know so you can improve the bot. JQF • Talk • Contribs 15:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Comanche
With regard to your edit of 21 March, I am not sure that pushing the TOC off of the first screen of the Comanche article is necessarily a good thing. It might be better instead to move, or delete, the map on the left hand side. What do you think? --Bejnar 22:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, with an article that long and with that many sections, something needs to be done with the TOC, although the image may have confused what needed to be done. I'd say that the image should be moved, as it still has purpose, but doesn't appear to be in the right section. JQF • Talk • Contribs 22:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You tube links on your user page
Hi, I note that you have linked a few You Tube clips from your user page. Would you possibly reconsider this given that some of the links appear to be to possible copyright violations?

It is appreciated that a lot of material on You Tube is 'grey', but linking to potential copyright violations reflects badly on yourself and Wikipedia. Replacment of the links with 'legal' ones or with links to content under 'free' licences would be ideal Sfan00 IMG 12:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of I Love the World
A tag has been placed on I Love the World, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TorstenGuise (talk) 13:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Template:Marvel Comics films
This template is only for films that have moved beyond announced and are already in production. As you may notice in the history... I already attempted to add the Avengers series to the list once. Adding the Avengers series to this list is a sure fire way to get the article The Avengers (film series)‎ deleted. You could help defend tha article on Talk:The Avengers (film series)‎... eventually... there will be enough movies in production to add it to the template.--Dr who1975 (talk) 17:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:BigbyWolf.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:BigbyWolf.JPG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Media copyright questions.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:PWK.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:PWK.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to a Detective Conan/Case Closed wiki
I am sending this because I seen you adding the userbox on your userpage. I hope I'm not spamming you here.

I have proposed for a Detective Conan/Case Closed Wiki in December 2007, and outside for some admin issues, the wiki is close to fruition. However, I have a lack of people having wiki experience to create guidelines, to administrate the wiki, and also to create userboxes that I consider essential for a snapshot of the content.

As a result, I cordially invite you to Kudo's Bookshelf, the Detective Conan/Case Closed encyclopedia.

Since this wiki is still under construction, joining the wiki needs my approval. Please do not hesitate contacting me on my talk page.

Thank you for your attention!

Speedy deletion of Image:Bsod 2008olympics.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Bsod 2008olympics.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Watchmen
Per WP:MOSFILMS, any "differences" between a film and its source material must be cited by a reliable source. You cannot use personal observations to note differences, because that's original research, as someone unfamiliar with each source may not see the difference. It isn't like pointing out the difference between earning 10 million and 15 million dollars. Also, Please check out WP:MOSFILMS, as plot summaries need to be concise, and I fail to see why the plot summary for Watchmen needs to be expanded, when it is already rather large (possibly too large, but given that I have not see the film I'm not going to read it and see what details could be stated more succinctly). Also, the infobox is for the theatrical run of the film, and that is why the other running times are not relevant in the box, because the film is not being released with those other running times. They are noted in a different section of the article, because Snyder has said that the DVD will probably contain them.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  21:44, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I reverted your addition of uncited material to this article. You do not have the right to demand that other editors do as you suggest (see WP:OWN) and all material added to wikipedia does have to be verified.

Orphaned non-free image File:The-legend-of-zelda-wii-E32009.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:The-legend-of-zelda-wii-E32009.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 06:07, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:GeppettoFables.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GeppettoFables.JPG. 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Murdoch Mysteries ep list tagging
You tagged the list for clean up. What are you wanting? See, there is me and one other person who are going back and forth between content of C class and Stub class. You are the first person all year to come along and say anything. But you left it so ambiguous i can't tell if you agree with me or the other person or neither of us or what. If you can't tell it is a very frustrating experience trying to write proper articles on all matters relating to Murdoch Mysteries. delirious &  lost  ☯ ~hugs~ 10:39, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:ExtracreditzPATVLogo.png
Thanks for uploading File:ExtracreditzPATVLogo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile!
