font size
80% causes the pics to offcenter and distract from the main text. How about 40%? N/m less than 80% doesn't make a difference on my browser. Adjusted the logos size and centering. Alatari (talk) 18:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

ATV Quad Power Racing
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article ATV Quad Power Racing, 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 Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. 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. BJBot (talk) 19:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Delete Tag
The delete tag has been removed. Thank you for expanding the article and adding to Wikipedia. If you need anything, let me know. Happy editing!! Dustihowe  Talk 18:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

List of Madlax episodes
I have renamed the "External links" section to "References" (because, frankly, it's what they were but apparently, one has to follow the guidelines nowadays). Would you consider reassessing the page? :) --Koveras ☭ 17:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
You have been granted with the rollback permission on the basis of your recent effort on dealing with vandalism. The rollback is a revert tool which can lessens the strains that normal javascripts such as twinkle put on the Wikipedia servers. You will find that you will revert faster through the rollback than through the normal reversion tools such as javascripts and the undo feature, which means that you could save time especially when reverting very large articles such as the George W. Bush page. To use it, simply click the [rollback] (which should appear unbloded if you have twinkle installed) link on the lastest diff page which should appear beside the link to the user's contributions. The rollback link will also appear on the history page beside the edit summary of the lastest edit. For more information, you may refer to this page. Yamamoto Ichiro 会話 23:08, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

These listed Wikipages Need your help!

Whoever knows when Alf Schofield died please put in on the Alf Schofield page, that would really help.

Look at the Talk:Kangaroo (meat) page regarding my post- Kangaroo Species- that would really help.

Look at Talk:Katharine McPhee regarding her spouse under Relationships by Keane Rox.

WP:SEGA/A
Mika1h, I guess I owe you an apology for the adjustments you made to the Wikiproject Sega tags for Sega Mega Drive. The article will remain A-Class for now, since the tags have since been removed and more work has been done on the article by multiple editors (it's up for GA-nomination now, too.) While we at Wikiproject Sega may disapprove of the way you went about it, you pointed out something that apparently the editors of the Assessment Department had missed. The problem has since been fixed, likely because you pointed it out, and for that, I wish to award you with this, and an invitation to join Wikiproject Sega if you are interested.

Feel free to put this on your userpage, you've earned it.


 * Okay, thanks. I will next time discuss first with Sega Project if I feel the need to change a rating. --Mika1h (talk) 19:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Hi. I unfortunately disagree that Metal Gear 2 is of low importance. It was a groundbreaking 8-bit title with superior storytelling, game design, and music for its time. I feel it was given a very unfair rating due to not being released in the United States because it was on the MSX, and that the article's chances for expansion from others have been hurt by this decision. Please reconsider. Thank you. 75.66.233.162 (talk) 12:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The first game was the ground breaking one. Metal Gear 2 just expanded the ideas from the first game. Although generally considered a good game, I don't think it has enough merits to be rated higher. --Mika1h (talk) 15:12, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Many of the programming elements in this game were completely impossible on any other 8-bit console. The 9-screen radar and ruthlessness of the enemy AI was a huge technical achievement.
 * I also cannot think of any 8-bit console title from 1990 that had such an expansive, dark storyline for an action game.
 * I don't agree with the statement that it "just expanded" from the 1st title. I believe that is a large understatement of this game's remarkable quality. Thank you. 75.66.233.162 (talk) 14:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Per WikiProject Video games/Assessment, it should be rated mid importance. IMO.  Otolemur crassicaudatus  (talk) 08:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: rating Silent Hunter
Yes, I understand what you've meant. But I was just wondering on what basis is this rating assigned? Is there some rule on Wikiproject Video Games ? IMHO this game is rather a classic so there should be High importance rating. But that's just my opinion :). Thanks, Lothar25 (talk) 20:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There are no rules for importance ratings that I am aware of. You basically rate them as what feels right. As for Silent Hunter I'm okay for it to be High-importance. I'm not too familiar with the game, I just know it's a landmark submarine simulation but as subsims aren't the most notable games out there I rated it as "Mid". Also, there are some general notes about importance at here: WikiProject Council/Guide/WikiProject. --Mika1h (talk) 20:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I see :). Thanks, Lothar25 (talk) 21:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

The reason why I removed the cat that says event started in 2008 is not true. The only reason the article starts with a list from 08 is because I still going back to do research on the past years. It think it started in 06 or 07. Sorry for the confusion.Gears Of War  14:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Manga History Importance
Hi, Mika1h -- I noticed you changed the importance of the history of manga article. I'm curious why -- no one has paid much attention to that article ever since Nihonjoe added a whole bunch of new material from the main article on manga some time ago. I'm not disputing your change, just wondering what your reasoning was, particularly because I wrote a lot of the new material. Timothy Perper (talk) 23:09, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Importance ratings aren't based on article quality. And that article is simply one of the core topics of the project. --Mika1h (talk) 08:57, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you're right—importance level does not refer to quality. But that doesn't explain why you made it top importance. Who decided that it's a core topic? What's the reasoning here? Timothy Perper (talk) 09:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't it self-evident why "history of manga" would be top-importance of a anime and manga project. Same as every other "history of" article is top-importance of its respective project.

Hmm... I think you're being a bit too touchy about my question. I wasn't challenging your decision; I'm asking what the rationale for the decision is. It should be self-evident that I -- since I wrote much of the article on the history of manga -- think that history is very significant. However, I know other editors who do not agree. Some are much more interested in the international marketing of manga (and anime) and others are much more interested in the styles and genres of manga. So it's nice to hear from someone -- yourself -- who agrees with me that history is important. But I also know that we need to be clear why we think so. So I asked you. Timothy Perper (talk) 20:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The article is important because with understanding history we can see how manga evolved throughout the years and came to be like it's today. --Mika1h (talk) 21:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, this is true. I'm glad to see we agree. Timothy Perper (talk) 21:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Michael Jackson assessment
Hi. I noted you had combined WPBiography banners. I wanted to let you know that I separated them. The music and the actors/filmmakers projects are separate projects under the WPBiography parent project and Jackson has different levels of priority assessment in the two projects. He's a top priority in the music project, but not in the film actors. The actors and filmmakers group has a core group of 100 biographies that were determined by consensus to be of top priority and Jackson isn't in it. I just didn't want there to be a question. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 09:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Re:Freelance Police importance
"How can cancelled games be anything other than low importance?"

Well, when one was a highly anticipated title, related to a classic title in the genre and its cancellation is generally considered one of the last nails in the coffin of the genre, I'd say it counts as a mid-importance title. I'd agree with you that most cancelled games can't be anything above low, but this isn't generally considered a run-off-the mill game that the developer couldn't be bothered to finish (cough StarCraft: Ghost). -- Sabre (talk) 20:58, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
