Vampire Hunter D (video game)
why don't you expand Vampire Hunter D (video game)? It's pretty crappy. --Dangerous-Boy

Wish I could. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about (nor do I own) this game. KBi 01:06, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

neologism
I don't think neologism is actually a CSD. I deleted it under G9 anyway. &Euml;vilphoenix Burn! > 02:07, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Hard to fit it into the speedy category, but it didn't look like it would qualify for a long AFD. KBi 02:11, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Glycogen Storage Diseases
I think all of the various names for a various "GSD type #" diseases are synonymous. For example, from Steadman's:

type 3 glycogenosis glycogenosis due to amylo-1,6-glucosidase deficiency, resulting in accumulation of abnormal glycogen with short outer chains in liver and muscle. syn: debranching deficiency limit dextrinosis syn: limit dextrinosis syn: Forbes disease syn: Cori disease

How about each "GSD type #" have one article (perhaps the prevailing eponym, or perhaps "GSD type #") and and we redirect all other names to that article?

Triggtay 00:16, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, that's a good idea. I think that there should be a single article for each GSD type # and all the synonymous names should be redirect articles. The only problem is that we'll have to merge certain articles together. If I have enough time, I'll go ahead and make the changes. KBi 00:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for the quick fix on the Bifrose (trojan horse) page! By the time I realized I'd done something wrong, you had already fixed it. Excellent! A-Day (c) (t) 01:30, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Always glad to help :) KBi 01:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Roach
I think we should make roach the disambiguation page since it is much more common for roach to refer to the insect than the fish. I'm going to place it on discussion and change it in a few days if there is no reasonable objection. Bmcassagne 05:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, this had already been brought up so I went ahead and made the change. Bmcassagne 05:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ambien CR
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ambien CR, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * Appears that much of the article has been copied and pasted, possibly violating copyright of other websites and appears to be possibly written in an overly promotional tone relying primarily on the manufacturers promotional website. There is a serious lack of inline citations or citations at all for that matter relying on primarily one source. Also the only difference between this drug Ambien CR and Ambien (zolpidem) is a tim release mechanism. I think that anything worth saving from this article can be included in a subsection of the main zolpidem/ambien article.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for February 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Catridecacog, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Recombinant (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Hallo and thanks for creating this stub. As you say "really needs lots of work and expert attention from those more knowledgeable of the subject matter". I don't understand it either. But please remember to give details with your references, not just a title: readers need to be able to see at a glance that these sources are from Nature etc (ie reliable) rather than from some cranky website. For web links it's also important to show the access date, as pages can change over time (not so much for published articles which have a "doi", as these are fixed.) I've upgraded your references somewhat, and added a project banner to the talk page in the hopes that an expert will come along and take an interest. Thanks and happy editing. Pam D  09:53, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing up the references! As a Wikipedian going on my 17th year of intermittent contributions, I am aware of these facts. Editing in the middle of night before crashing made it hard to follow through and touch up the references section (which I wanted to do eventually) - but before I knew it, you had it all fixed up :). Thanks once again KBi (talk) 14:58, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
