Ronaldinho
Cleanup is finally done, and article reduced by nearly 10,000 KB in the process. Phew. Beemer 69  chitchat  09:56, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Danke. My next project is Cristiano Ronaldo, in which I cleaned up the ManU section yesterday, which ultimately means that I have way too much time on my hands. :) Beemer 69   chitchat  21:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Your stance on adminship
I was hoping you could clear this up for me. I just read on MrKIA11's talk page that you think that people do not need to meet any requirements for adminship... even though you clearly do. I'm guessing you're not trying to mislead the candidate, so what did you actually mean?  Asenine   13:42, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for cleaning up after me, sorry I left a mess. I guess it couldn't hurt to actually read the vital project template I just moved before I leave it... Cheers! ~ JohnnyMrNinja  18:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

VG Portal again...
Hey, hate to bother again, but I was reading over Featured portal criteria, and noticed that articles summaries should be around 200 words. Do you know of an example summary that has been shortened so I can edit the summaries on Portal:Video games/Featured article? After that's taken care of I'm going to finish up the Did you know months and try for Featured portal. Unless there's anything else you can think of to add or change.

Commons OTRS
You said that if I got permission to use an image under GFDL you'd take care of the OTRS ticket thingy for me? (memory refresh here). Well, I got hold of an image, and uploaded it at Image:Chris Metzen.jpg (I forgot the Commons aspect until I'd already hit the button to upload here, I suppose we can always migrate it over). I've emailed the permission things to permissions@wikimedia.org. I'd very much appreciate it if you'd deal with the OTRS ticket for me, rather than having my head bitten off by someone else there because I've never done it before and wouldn't be surprised if I've done something wrong. Thanks!-- Sabre (talk) 20:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * (Sorry for late reply) Aye, its been confirmed with the OTRS thing, I apparently did it alright. However, can I ask you to move the image over to Commons for me, please? I found that Commons move helper confusing, and something went wrong as it didn't work when I tried it. -- Sabre (talk) 19:51, 22 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Never mind, looks like Giggy dealt with that when he was assessing the article. -- Sabre (talk) 10:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Ghost FAC
Your oppose on the basis of potentially useful sources that don't exist seems, bluntly, really silly. We have no idea what went on inside Blizzard, and regardless of whether such information on "lively internal debate" would make interesting reading, or that the game hasn't been. The fact the sources don't exist means that the article is still as comprehensive as reliable sources allow, so this shouldn't be a problem. Verifiability, not truth, remember? Saying that you oppose on the basis of a lack of sources that don't exist, and for incorporating the official sourced reasoning which you disregard as "corporate blabber" is very much a double-standard in my eyes. -- Sabre (talk) 00:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not an issue of finding the source, but whether it in fact exists. I think it is highly unlikely that Blizzard would allow its employees to speculate to press or disclose why they had effectively cancelled a game (that they still haven't officially cancelled.)

RFC over at Coleco
Just put up an RFC over at the project regarding a problem with the Pop Culture section at Coleco, and I believe some very uncivil conduct on the part of the other party.

I use both Cat Scan and AlexNewArtBot. I think the only articles that don't get caught by one of those are one's that are created from a redirect, because it's technically not a new page. MrKIA11 (talk) 19:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest!

Yes, the intention is to get it online soon. I've just got to make the website work - I'm no techie you see...

But, it should be up at shortly.

Hi. Have you spoke to Beemer about this? Maybe she'll agree to scale back on (some of) her changes, since it's a GA? I looked at the pre-edited version of the article -- it looked like it could do with some trimming and copyediting, but probably not a 40% in word chop; it was not that verbose. Chensiyuan (talk) 13:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Article restored, which I should've done earlier. Perhaps I'm just being a curmudgeon, but I'd tired of material such as his being praised by players "that have had the task of marking him" and quite a bit of space subsequently taken up with numerous singing of his praises. It's fine in moderation, but in the end it's not wholly encyclopedic and gets lost among the otherwise quality content. I brought this up yesterday in the discussion of the Paul Scholes article (does anyone really care what Edgar Davids thinks of him?). I edited KJH well before I had my little round table discussion with Chen (he's made me less trigger-happy since then), and I still think such material should be axed and I'll likely bring it up in discussion in the future. Until then, Jaco, I'll leave the article to your devices. Cheers. sixty nine   • spill it •  16:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Commons request
Hey Jacoplane. Can I make a request of you, as you're one of the VG project members whose also an admin over at Commons? Can you take a look at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games, and tell me whether the deletion of on Commons was justified? Its a photo of Sam & Max at Comic-Con 2007, and was deleted by some other Commons admin because they thought it was copyrighted material, even though it was taken by a member of the public, published under the Cc-by-sa-2.0, and its upload had already been approved by another admin/trusted user. We've got tons of similar images up on Commons, such as on Lara Croft and Master Chief, taken from sources in the exact same style, and licensed in the same way, so this sudden discrimination against my upload is just bewildering. -- Sabre (talk) 14:33, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I've started an undeletion request on that image, you can see it here if you want to pitch in. -- Sabre (talk) 21:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't worry about this now, I got input from some other admins over at Commons. Sorry to trouble you with this. -- Sabre (talk) 21:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
