Magmatron
Magmatron was marked as a copyvio by User:Crzrussian and deleted by User:Mushroom. Best to contact them for any follow-up. By rights you should have received a message on your talk page about the deletion, but this doesn't always happen. Earlier in the day, the page had been marked for "speedy deletion" possibly for the same reason. Any material copied from other sources may lead to such deletions. Wikipedia is very strict about copyvio and the philosophy "it's on the Net so it's public domain" is not accepted here. Hope this helps. 23skidoo 21:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Additional - according to the copyvio archive, the claim is that a substantial portion of the page was identical to and after a quick glance I have to agree. After looking at other postings on your talk page, I recommend you review Wikipedia's copyright policy. 23skidoo 21:55, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Magmatron is a Transformers character who first appeared in the Japanese Beast Wars Neo series, and was later released in the Beast Machines Dinobots line. His body is made up of 3 smaller robots who take the form of a Gigantosaurus, Elasmosaur and a Quetzalcoatlus. They can combine into a humanoid robot form, or that of a giant Fuzor with attributes of all three beasts. His only has one personality, and seems to be somehow related to the Generation One Duocons, only with 3 split forms instead of 2. Magmatron appeared in the Transformers: Universe - Wreckers comics in the US as leader of the Dinobots, as well as a Predacon leader in the IDW Beast Wars comics.

 * If it's a translation, you need permission from both the original author and the translator. The main reason for this is that everything that is put on Wikipedia is automatically released under the GFDL license, so the text becomes free to use and the author loses some rights over it. This is illegal without the author's explicit consent. You can read more about this at Copyrights or Copyright FAQ.

Tech Specs
Please do not use Wikipedia to promote your fanmade tech specs. If there is information you wish to add, put them in actual text form, not in images. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 21:42, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, stop readding your crap. '  (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 02:29, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Stop it. '  (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 01:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. These are not encyclopedic in any way.  Just upload the images you use on the cards, not images that include all of the fake technical information you create for them.  They are good pictures, but none of it is fact created by either Mainframe, Hasbro, or the other companies that have produced or been involved with the Transformers franchise. Ryulong 16:33, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, do not use the Tech Specs. If you are using them for purposes as an image to show the character, please crop the image as to only show the image.  Do not add the fan-made tech specs.  Ryulong 22:25, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Links
Links are not supposed to be in section headings, nor is Megatron a "main article" for Megatron (Cybertron). They're different characters. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 02:29, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Pretender Category
DO NOT USE THIS CATEGORY FOR YOUR FANCRUFT. The category concerns something more important than a minor subline of Transformers. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 02:31, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I created a new category for Category:Pretenders (Transformers), thanks. user:Mathewignash

Noticed you've been doing this a bit lately - haven't rv'd them myself, but I figured I ought to let you know that the Manual of Style says it's a no-no. I've been guilty of violating it a few times myself, and I'm tryin' not to lately. - Chris McFeely

License tagging for Image:Csranger.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Csranger.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

Image Tagging Image:Crosswise1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Crosswise1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 11:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Tags
Please do not remove informational tags on articles. They are there to remind editors to include references and to cite the approproiate sources. Thanks. --Madchester 20:18, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance notices from pages unless the required changes have been made. If you are uncertain whether the page requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. Thank you.

Again, please do not remove article tags. Thanks. Further removal can result in a block. --Madchester 23:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Ransack
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Ransack, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at Talk:Ransack. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Again, please do not remove tags on articles placed by other editors. This can be seen as vandalism and can result in a block. Also, please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Calling out other users as "morons" is not acceptable behaviour. Thanks. --Madchester 20:21, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

June 2006
You have been blocked from editing for violating Wikipedia policy against constant removal of maintenance and prod tags. To contest this block, please reply here on your talk page by adding the text along with the reason you believe the block is unjustified, or email the blocking administrator or any administrator from this list. Note to sysops&#58; Unblocking yourself should almost never'' be done. If you disagree with the block, contact another administrator.''

To quote your first edit summary "(rv - removed moron addition - Ransace is the name of several characters - one Insecticon and several Decepticons", please see the policies for no personal attacks and civility. --pgk( talk ) 16:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Regarding the removal of the tags wikipedia relies articles to be cited from reliable sources and does not permit original research. Someone watching the show and writing about it or reading a box is totally inadequate. --pgk( talk ) 16:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk page comments and warnings
This is your last warning. Removing warnings from your talk page is c-onsidered vandalism. You will be blocked from editing Wikipedia and your talk page will be protected from editing if you do it again.

Please stop removing comments and warnings from your talk page. Thanks. --Madchester 18:53, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't even remove a warning tag about an image having no copyright info, where the image has now been fixed? I was just trying to save space once the issue was closed. Sorry user:mathewignash - 6-22-06
 * The warning was a bit harsh but it is correct. The only way to remove stuff from a talk page is to archive it. See How to archive a talk page. Cheers! Sasquatch t|c 04:55, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Copyrights
DO NOT USE FULL TECH SPEC/BIO TEXT! That is copyrighted work, and Copyright expressely forbids that. No, that much does not fall under fair use. At all. Please remove all Tech Spec/Bio text, or I will be forced to list all of the offending articles on Copyright problems and report you. ' (Feeling chatty? ) (Edits!) 05:50, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Cheetor
Any particular reason you reverted my edits? RedNitrogen 18:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, that makes a little more sense, but I think you are a bit confused. I am the one who attributed it to both episodes. You reverted it BACK to just part 2, which is wrong. As for the other paragraph I deleted, it really needs to either go or be reworked. Nothing except the first sentence is even about Cheetor, and that sentence itself is an extremely vague theme that occurs throughout Season 3, not just in a single episode. I'm not saying that the part about Cheetor isn't important, but the way it stands now makes no sense. It is not an article about Rattrap or Dinobot.

Arcee
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Arcee article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! --Madchester 22:36, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The picture I added are picture of Botcon Arcee is from a comic book I own, and it is copyright tagged as a comic panel. Nothing wrong there. The other is the promotional picture of the toy by the maker of the toy. user:mathewignash

Personal attacks
Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. --Madchester 00:05, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Transformers articles
I believe there was discussion regarding various Transformers articles at Articles for Deletion. In the case of Ransack (Transformers), the article was deleted by User:Madchester on the grounds that it was a recreation of a previously-deleted article Ransack which had gone through the Proposed deletion process. Such articles can be deleted at any time unless they are substantially different than what was deleted before. If you aren't doing so, it's always a good idea to add articles you create to your Watchlist so that you can be made aware of things like WP:PROD and WP:AFD nomination. 23skidoo 13:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Beast Wars Episode Synopsis
Please note its nothing against you personally, its just it does make the articles look incredibly cumbersome. Its not a concise summary of that character if you know what I mean. The way Optimus Primal and Megatron look is probably best - just listing the most important events in that characters season without listing massive episode synopses that have little to do with the actual character. That said, a page for episode synopses is a great idea. Regards. SMegatron 08:03, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Tried it for Equal Measures and Chain of Command. But they still need a lot of work. SMegatron 10:58, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Transformer info in a fraternity article????????
Please quit doing that, it doesnt belong there. It would be better to make a list of Transformer Characters article or a disambiguation page leading to the Omega Delta (Transformer character) rather than pluggging in whatever fan trivia that name brought to your head. It'll better to make another article than to mix it in with another article that have nothing in common. Plus, the editors that maintain that article might get upset and black ball you. Anyway, I removed the bits you added, it'll be for the best. Mighty Ozymandias 23:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, whats happening? I do not mean to be a jerk here, but putting the transformer trivia back on the Omega Delta article doesnt make things right.  The problem still exist, even if you moved it to the bottom of the page.  If it was a disambiguation page it wouldnt be a problem, however, it is not a disambiguation but an article to which your contributions are out of context.


 * I mean, lets say i wanted to know more about transformers and did a wiki search and the Omega Delta fraternity came up because of what you added to the article. How would it benefit me to read an article about a fraternity if I wanted to do some research on transformers for my essay or article?  Do you see how that would be a problem?


 * So please, do not add it back but rather make a new article or create a disambiguation page. If you do not know how then a little research goes a long way (or just ask).  Mighty Ozymandias 07:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll look, but I'm not sure of which article you are talking about, but I will remove and unwanted text. I can't remove anything until you unblock me though.user:mathewignash


 * There are several, probably all of them. Hot Rod (Transformers) and Scourge (Transformers) are two I noticed with substantial parts. Really, the larger problem is that none of these articles are written like encyclopedia articles. A lot of them don't even have complete sentences and many have no links. Eventually they will be deleted if this is not corrected. Wikipedia is not a game guide, and these pages need to be coherent encyclopedia articles. —Centrx→talk &bull; 02:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Merely changing the obvious indicators of copyright infringement does not change the fact that it is a copyright infringement. If you do not re-write the articles that you started, in encyclopedic, wikified form, without any text copied from other authors, they will have to be deleted or reverted back to before you edited them. —Centrx→talk &bull; 22:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Cswindcharger.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cswindcharger.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 01:55, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Mirage-universesp.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mirage-universesp.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Sentinel Maximus
Hey Mat. I noticed on the Sentinel Maximus page that you listed the Cybertron Collector's comic as an IDW comic. Are you sure? I don't mean to sound patronizing, but I was always under the impression that Fun Publications produced it through the Collector's club comic. Anyway, best regards.SMegatron 12:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. Sorry to be a pain but thats honestly the first Ive heard of it being IDW. Thanks for clearing that up though. Best regards.SMegatron 22:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Circuit Breaker
Hello. I couldn't help but notice that you continue to post a hi-resoltion of a piece of commissioned artwork that does not belong to you, or Marvel Comics either. I know this because I own the image. I own it because I commissioned the artist Will Mangin and colorist Ryan Button to produce it for a private project involving a non-profit artwork portfolio. I also own it because the image (among others) was copyrighted in MY NAME in early 2006. So far, I have politley removed the image myself twice, but I've looked into the history of "vandalism" for the article of CIRCUIT BREAKER and noticed that a compatriot of mine working on the project probably made notice to you on several occasions to please have the image removed. I have since removed the image, for what I hope is the last time.

Several areas that you need to be aware of:

1. There are only two places I can think of where you may have obtained the artwork and in both cases, the copyright information was plainly stated.

2. I MIGHT consider allowing to use a much smaller image, so long as you contact me regarding it first. But posting a hi-resolution image of original artwork that I paid for with my own money for free public usage is questionable ethics in my book. All ownership and copyright information should be included as well as the artist/colorist responsible for the artwork. As it is now, you do not have permission to use it, and every time you repost it, you give others the impression that it is publicly owned. It's not.

3. I don't want to be a jerk about this. So, let's say you just do as I ask or get in touch with me before you repost that image again. Otherwise I will gather the proper documentation and contact the necessary people at Wikipedia... from what I can tell, you've had some problems before; I'm sure you'd like to avoid being reprimanded for continued copyright negligence. I don't want to be that guy, and I think if you look at things from my point of view, you will understand why I'm upset about it. On the contrary, I can't understand why you think it is OK for you to keep putting it up when you know the art doesn't belong to you.

If you want to contact me directly, I'm more than happy to talk about. My email is acovals@sbcglobal.net. We can have a nice private discussion. Until then, I'm watching the Circuit Breaker wiki. I didn't pay for that artwork to be used as reference material for Wikipedia.

Thanks, I look forward to talking to you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Acovals (talk • contribs) 18:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

Hey, dude. What's your problem? Why do you continue to be so blatantly dishonest about this image? I've also spoken to the artist of this piece and neither of us have given you consent to continue usage of this image. I gave you easy instructions on how to contact me regarding this issue and you choose to ignore it. I will avoid any type of slander regarding this outrage and simply have an intervention staged regarding this issue.

Blocked
You have been blocked from editing for 1 week. If you continue to upload or copy images or text, you will be permanently banned from editing. This recent case is especially egregious, in that someone affiliated with the copyright holder has told you to cease and desist. Other than the fact that if you continue you will be banned from Wikipedia, also consider: You seem to be a good-faith contributor, but you and Wikipedia exist in a legal environment where you cannot copy the work of others without permission, and it is necessary that you follow these rules on Wikipedia. If you have any questions about what copyright means, I would be happy to help. — Centrx→talk &bull; 03:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Articles which contain copyrighted text ultimately need to be deleted, so your contributions and any subsequent contributions would all be deleted. Copying makes a nicer article in the short term, but in the long term it destroys your efforts and the efforts of anyone else interested in Transformers and the the article in the end is much worse.
 * Violating copyright is illegal. You are vulnerable to fines of tens of thousands of dollars.

Excuese me for asking here, but WHAT material was copyrighted that I added? If you mean the Circuit Breaker picture, I already spoke with the person last week and we came to an agreement on how ot handle it. I can provide the text to you. If it's something else, let me know. user:mathewignash

As I explained, the re-placing of this picture was unintentional, I undid a revision from someone on 2-2-07 and it returned the picture, then went to bed. By the time I returned the next morning, it had been removed. Since then OTHER people have been putting it back, I have not. I even apologised to the people who complained on another message board. Now over a week later what's the issue? user:mathewignash


 * I have unblocked you. You are right about your changes the Circuit Breaker page; my decision was affected because of the past problems with adding copyrighted material. Regarding use of the image: In order for the image to be used, Marvel Comics would need to send confirmation to the Wikimedia Foundation that the image is licensed for publication under the GFDL, an appropriate Creative Commons, or some other free license.

 * Actually I'm the one who ADDED in the rank level to the template for the express purpose of listing characters' show ranks, such as Scorponok being Sub-Commander of the Predacons, before I did that there was not a Rank option. Now I don’t mind that you’ve come along and added the numbers from the Bio & Tec (although I’ve never been clear on what they stood for, hierarchy or danger level) but that’s not why I put it there.

Unspecified source for Image:Scattorshotcd.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Scattorshotcd.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Vandal Like Activity
Look this has got to stop before it gets even more ridiculous. At first I wrote you off as simple vandal, much like those who replace entire pages with nonsensical words or phrases but surprisingly I have seen you actually contribute helpful changes on occasions which means you must at least have a basic understanding of Transformer Lore. Now I realize that we had a bit of a spar over the Generation One – The Original Series thing but that’s over and you even got your way. But simply reverting my edits just because I made them (I know you'll cite a reason: spelling – Japanese names – bad hair day – yada yada yada) but we both know you do it simply because I made the edit.

Now I don’t want to get into an edit war were I go and undo all your changes simply because you made them and I don’t think you want that either. I don’t like to complain and I don’t believe in banning people except in extreme cases but you have to realize that at some point one of the admins is going to see what you’re doing and then there is bound to be trouble. I’d rather call it off before then and I would think that you do to. This has got to stop, fair? --The Matrix Prime 15:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Prime Category
Hi user:mathewignash, you still seemed a little confused about the purpose of the Prime category so I’m here to help you out again. I think your trouble maybe that your confusing Convoy with Prime. Now that is the Japanese term for Prime so in that regard you are accurate but it really doesn’t have anything to do with this particular case. Just drop Convoy and stomp on it repeatedly and toss it into the trash. For the rest of this discussion that word just may as well not exist (at least until we’re done).

You are correct when you say that Sonar does not carry the title “Prime” in his name. But I didn’t create the category to list out just all the Primes. Its purpose was to list out any transformers with connections to the name “Optimus Prime”. That includes among others Hot Rod, Vector Prime, Nemesis Prime, Optimus Primal Onyx Primal, Optimus Minor and Sonar. Now I know you don’t like to think of Sonar as a clone but you have to agree that there is at least enough evidence to support putting him on that list at least as a probationary member. A clone would qualify as a member of the “Prime Family” if you will.

If you think the category’s purpose would be clearer, I have thought of changing its name to Primes/Primals. Opinion? --The Matrix Prime 15:22, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Megatron Orientation
"It is a little known fact about Megatrons sexual orientation, the colour purple may hint at his homosexuality. He is also a very flamboyant machine."

Good job getting rid of this, I've never even heard of this little fan threoy! Besides being a robot Megatron doesn't even come off that way and its pretty clear that the purple coloring is a referance to Imperial Purple. Where do people even come up with this stuff? Thanks for catching this. --The Matrix Prime 00:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Dreamwave
Hey Mat. Just to avoid future friction, I thought I'd explain why Im editing the Dreamwave sections the way I am. Having separate sentences for each thing that happened to the character breaks up the section unnecessarily. In my opinion it should actually read like a fictional biography. To that end, I've been splitting it into paragraphs for eack major Dreamwave series. One for each of the three War Within series, a paragraph explaining what happened in the interim (Ark crash, war, explosion of Ark 2, etc), then one for the first two G1 minis and the unfinished ongoing (or if there's not enough, a condensed form). Let me know how this works for you. Regards. SMegatron 13:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Episode synopses
I realise Im probably going to come across as petty have undone your changes to Blitzwing and Astrotrain, so I thought I 'd give an explanation. My belief is that we should really only give complicated episode synopses like that when its really necessary to the characters - for example I did something similar for Seaspray and "Sea Change" yesterday. Blitzwing and Astrotrain weren't really major characters in that episode, they really only showed up for about 5 minutes, tried to make an alliance, got clocked by Prime and fled (if i remember it correctly). I don't think thats really enough to warrant a separate paragraph describing the events of Prime Target on it own, so Ive added just a short mention of it after Triple Takeover. Anyway, let me know what you think. Regards.SMegatron 09:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

You restored original research into Optimus Prime
I'm not normally one for edit wars, but I'd like to know why that material belonged in that article. WP:OR is quite clear about conclusions drawn by editors from primary sources, and I searched for secondary sources on those points before removing them. Your edit summaries were completely lacking in explanations, and I'd like to know why you undid my revisions. i kan reed 17:03, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The Original vs. "Generation 1"
Generation 1 is accepted standard of the Transformers Wiki Project. Please post to it if you want to change it, and get a concensus. I will abide by it. user:mathewignash

I stop trying to change that, remember? Using the "original" is simply making the article clearer in the actual paragraphs, not the titles. The concensus is already that we would like to stop using "Generation 1" completely, but there isn't another term we can agree on, so for now it stays. But in the actual paragraphs we try not to over use it. --The Matrix Prime 15:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Starscream-transtech.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Starscream-transtech.jpg.

Style changes
I note you've gone through and put Transformer episode titles in italics, rather than quotes. This is incorrect. Episodes should be in quotes, while the series itself would be in italics.--MistaTee 21:03, 5 May 2007 (UTC)


 * This is not my opinion, it's in the manual of style. See MOS:T.  From this page:
 * Italics are generally used for titles of longer works. Titles of shorter works (particularly those that exist as a smaller part of a larger work), such           as the following, should be enclosed in double quotation marks:
 * Articles, essays or papers
 * Chapters of a longer work
 * Episodes of a television series
 * Short poems
 * Short stories
 * Songs and singles
 * Statues


 * So, the longer work in italics would be the title of the comic book or TV show, while the individual episode or story would be in "quotes". --MistaTee 03:21, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

List of Transformers books
Adding multiple images to what are fairly inconsequential books makes the article look rather ugly. Also; listing every character that appears makes it over-long, especially as the pertinent featured characters already appear in the synopses.

Hi there. It is not necessary to have a "fiction" section in the Ronald Reagan article, for this article is about to be put up for WP:FA status, and any sort of section like that is not recommended by the FA guidelines, or other users, according to a failed FA candidacy.

Fair use
You need to stop uploading so many copyrighted images. This is supposed to be a free encyclopedia - see WP:NONFREE and the Wikimedia foundation's mission. At any rate, images you upload need fair use rationales (in short, each image you upload needs an explanation of why we need that image), and images that don't have these will be deleted. I suggest you don't upload anything more until all your currently uploaded images have them. – Steel 14:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi. I do appreciate your willingness to fulfill the requirements for copyrighted content. Unfortunately, your rationales as they stand don't suffice. One word responses along the lines of "identification" do not explain how the image contributes significantly to the article. Similarly, your entry for "portion used", "single frame", doesn't address the points under the nonfree content criteria (where it says along the lines of, copyrighted content must be used as little as possible). It is the case that many of your uploads do not contribute significantly to the article and that you are not ensuring copyrighted works are used minimally. These images will be deleted. – Steel 23:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to be taking much notice of my requests that you follow policy. I have blocked you for 36 hours and suggest you don't immediately resume this activity upon expiry of the block. – Steel 01:05, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I was in the process of appealing your deletions. Surely there is a comprimise. We don't need so many pictures, but we don't need to delete them all. user:mathewignash
 * Ah, so you can speak after all, how nice to finally hear from you. Let's bear in mind that appealing deletions involves discussion, not simply reverting over and over. You say in your email that you were writing up a comment to me. You have been ignoring and reverting me for hours, so you've had ample time to discuss this. At any rate, you're more than welcome to discuss now. You also say that you're willing to compromise on two images. Soundwave (Transformers) currently has more than two images, so you'll need to explain why you restored every one. Your block log reveals that this is a recurring problem - you need to start following this policy. – Steel 01:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I was a bit rushed at the time - I usually am just getting letters from bots and they don't listen to talk pages, took me a bit to realize you were a person. I will comply if this is official policy. Tell me the guidelines and I'll try to comply while keeping the articles interesting. You notice I restores ONE of the Bumblebee pictures before you blocked me, as I understood what you wanted. user:mathewignash


 * There are still several issues here that we need to sort out. We have the issue of you mistaking me for a bot - I find this hard to believe, especially after I responded to your individual actions, unless you are fantastically stupid. There's also the issue of you restoring every image on the Soundwave page... twice, and in fact one of your reverts to another article was made with the edit summary "added needed info". I also note that you continued uploading images and tagging them with those bare-minimum rationales even after I told you that these would not suffice. – Steel 14:02, 6 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I do not appreciate insulting language sir. As for restoring the images on the Soundwave page, that was before I read your notes and offered to talk about it. I was recently deluged with a ton of bot notices, as you can see on the page, and I didn't notice your posts. Last time I tried to clean off old bot noticed someone threatened to ban me for removing those posts, even after the pictures were fixed. When I say a page had a dozen pictures removed, I thought it was faulty bot or vandalization. You seem to be turning this into a major issue. I was attempting to correct pictures that people wanted more information as best I could. I am reading all I can about image posting guidelines and would appreciate some understanding. I would appreciate some helpful input. For instance, could you point me to a couple examples of properly done image images? I looked at many other images on Wikipedia, and they usually had no more information in them than mine did, usually less, as I at least sited the source. user:mathewignash

Transformers Cassettes
you keep removing the perfectly valid partners for Soundwave and Blaster. "Partners" does not mean "Packaged with". If you look it up on Wiktionary you'll see the word means someone who is associated with another in a common activity or interest. It is irrelevant what toys (if any) are packaged with each other. Optimus Prime and Megatron toys have been packaged together before now, but you wouldn't suggest they were partners, would you? -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:44, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Why can you not understand the difference between PARTNERS and PACKAGED WITH? It's such a simple concept, yet you keep reverting my correct edits.  It really doesn't matter who a toy is packaged with - that has nothing to do with whether they are partners.  Toys of Optimus Prime and Megatron have been packaged together, are they partners?  Toys of Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker have been packaged together, are they partners?  Conversely in Lethal Weapon Roger Murtaugh and Martin Riggs ARE partners, but by your logic they shouldn't be listed as such because they don't have toys that were packaged together! --  JediLofty User ¦ Talk 10:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You don't list opposing characters as partners. For instance the Universe box says "Soundwave with Spacecase" - they are partners. The box that says "Air Raid vs. Windsheer" they are not partners. user:mathewignash

Image copyright problem with Image:Rhinox-botcon.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Rhinox-botcon.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

Reagan in fiction
Hi there. I see you created the article Ronald Reagan in fiction, and I congratulate you on doing that. Also, thank you for linking it to Ronald Reagan's page, however I tweaked it slightly. In stead of creating another section, I wrote the following sentence in the "Legacy" section, and cited it:

"Reagan has even been made into a comic book characters in fictional tales."

It is an interesting tidbit to add, and thanks a lot for creating the article. Best, Happyme22 00:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Convoy-kiss.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Convoy-kiss.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 '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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:A-Jetstorm.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:A-Jetstorm.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 22:26, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Frenzy (Transformers)
Rather than removing a valid tag (while giving the order to "Read it" on the summary of your edit) on the Frenzy (Transformers) article, why did you not add a citation? You can find information on citing sources here and some useful citation templates here. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 13:46, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Because it's simply a fact of the plot as publically printed in the movie adaption. Do I need to site the source for everything that's public knowledge? user:mathewignash


 * Just because something happens in a movie adaptation, it doesn't mean it will necessarily be in the film. I read the Aliens adaptation, then was disappointed to see that the robot sentry guns didn't make it into the original theatrical release! If in doubt, add a citation. --  JediLofty User ¦ Talk 08:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Transformers
The fact is, having toys of characters that didn't appear in a film is irrelevant on that film page. Create a toyline page if you think that will help, or simply put on each of those toys' articles "this character was not featured in the 2007 film, but was given an action figure for the toyline based on the film". Lots of films have toylines. The Marketing section of the film article already states that some toys will not be featured in the film.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  01:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Other Transformers pages include information about both the toy line and fiction. Seems fine to at least MENTION the names of the characters and provide links to their pages. user:mathewignash


 * Other Transformer pages are generally "THE" Transformer pages, as in the actual characters. Also, I don't monitor those pages. But it's indiscriminate information to list every single character who gets a toy, but not a role in the film.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  02:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Um, obviously several people disagree with your insertion of that type of information. Instead of engaging in an edit war and breaking the three-revert rule, you would probably be better to go to the talk page.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:16, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Strike that first part, Alien didn't remove it, he just moved it. But I have watched as you systematically revert anyone that disagrees with the information. Be aware that the three-revert rule applies to a 24 hour period, and at the moment you've reverted 3 times already in a 24 hour period (begins at the moment of first revert). Any revert, other than true vandalism, on the page even if it has nothing to do with the marketing information would be a violation of the policy. I'm just letting you know, so you don't make the mistake of violating the policy by accident, not knowing you had reached your limit. Also, this isn't a threat or anything, because I have no plans myself to remove anything from the page, just a friendly alert.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure you've not got any more pictures of the Autobots to donate? I mean an ensemble picture would be a really great. Alientraveller 20:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Ironhide-movievehicle.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Ironhide-movievehicle.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Ironhide-movievehicle.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Ironhide-movievehicle.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 08:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tscheetorbm.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tscheetorbm.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image 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 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 '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.

Uploading images
As far back as mid-2006, you have received warnings on your talk page about appropriately tagging and identifying images for fair use and sourcing, yet your mid-2007 image uploads often also lack fair-use rationales. Please stop uploading images until you review Wikipedia's policies for image use and non-free content. --EEMeltonIV 10:14, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Universebrawnart.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Universebrawnart.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 23:30, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Jetfire-dd.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jetfire-dd.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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.

More image concerns
I've tagged the next batch of images, since you do not appear to have gone back to provide source or fair-use rationales for your other uploads despite my previous request. Note that I missed that your images also fail to identify a source -- this is especially problematic for the ones you've tagged as being "promotional." You need to cite the website or other press package from which the images come. Anyhow, I tagged the following images:

Image:Sizzle-g2d.jpg Image:Sizzle-g2a.jpg Image:Shrapnel-boxart.jpg Image:Jolt-g2.jpg Image:Strongarm-classics.jpg Image:Ultramagnus-timelines.jpg Image:Springer-timelines.jpg Image:Eliteone-timelines.jpg Image:Blackout-energonanimated.jpg Image:Snowcat-animated.jpg Image:Constructiconmaximus-energon.jpg Image:Superionmaximus.jpg Image:Bruticusmaximus-energon.jpg Image:Dreadwind-boxart.jpg Image:Dreadwind-ridboxart.jpg Image:Breadwind-classic.jpg Image:Getaway-toy.jpg Image:Tarantulas-timelines.jpg Image:Slingshot-boxart.jpg Image:Megatronsfightforpower-cover.jpg Image:Huffer-timelines.jpg

Transformers template
Hi,

I'm curious why you're deleting the Transformers template from the pages I'm adding it to - the Transformers represent a coherent subject and it seems unusual for the pages to not have one. WLU 03:46, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * The template doesn't go on every TF page, just the series page and on eht two leaders pretty much. user:mathewignash

Why doesn't the temlate go on all the TF pages? Having a template that only goes on three pages makes it almost useless. The whole purpose of templates is to link related articles and right now you've got a bunch of Transformers articles that have no links between them. I tried to find a discussion on the Transformers Wikiproject but there wasn't much there (though the template itself was). Why not shorten the template or have multiple templates that are applicable to sets of Transformers pages? Have one overall template that has seasons, comics and movies, two others for Autobots and Decepticons, etc? Right now the pages look like unlinked orphans and they shouldn't when there's an entire wikiproject based on them. WLU 11:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Blaster-boxart.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Blaster-boxart.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 06:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Spam in Agglo
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Agglo, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Agglo is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Agglo, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Grindor-fpclassic.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Grindor-fpclassic.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

A tag has been placed on, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a. If you can indicate how Image:Starscream-boxart.jpg is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template hangon underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Archive
Please consider archiving your talk page -- it takes a long time to load, even on a fast connection. --EEMeltonIV 21:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Can you point me to instructions on how to do that? Last time I deleted a bunch of automated messages after I addressed their contents I was yelled at for deleting them. user:mathewignash


 * The best way to do it would be to move the current Talk page with the "Move" button at the top -- rename it User talk:Mathewignash/Archive1, for example. That will retain the edit history, and the current User talk:Mathewignash will be blank. You can then type up a little intro to avoid it being a redlink. --EEMeltonIV 22:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Removing tags
Stop removing from your images. Providing source information and fair-use rationales does not mitigate the contention that these are replaceable images. Please refresh yourself on WP:FAIRUSE. --EEMeltonIV 21:13, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:Bonecrusher-armada.jpg as replaceable fair use. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. Calliopejen1 07:38, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Take a hint - please stop uploading box art images
The vast majority of the Transformer -boxart images have been deleted because they do not meet Wikipedia's fair-use requirements. Nevertheless, you continue to upload them, most recently the Fortress Maximus image -- not to mention re-uploading the Starscream art which had previously been deleted. Please stop doing this. If you want to participate at Wikipedia, you must abide by the site's policies and the community's consensus -- uploading material that has been deemed not in keeping with Wikipedia policy is not a sign of good-faith editing. If you continue to upload boxart images, I'll pass this along to the administrators noticeboard, after which you may (once again) be banned for not following the site's fair-use policy. --EEMeltonIV 21:02, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe the box art can be used if not too high quality, and with the proper licensing remarks. You have done little to actually help tag the images properly, just rushing in and deleting them en-mass, but thanks for the motivation for me to learn more about proper tagging. I will try to learn the proper way to tag such images, hoping to find something that is acceptable. user:mathewignash


 * It's not an issue of proper or improper tagging -- it's the images themselves that don't meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. As an aside, I have not been deleting them -- rather, I've tagged them for review, but people with actual administrative power have been doing the deletion. So, it's not just me that contends they are inappropriate. --EEMeltonIV 22:44, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I'll try some different tags and licenses on a few now and again to see if the powers that be find them acceptable, you tag them as you see fair. I won't upload tons of images while I wait and see a response for the new licensing. Is this fair? user:mathewignash
