Re

 * Few, if any other lists do this. It is absurd to list a game four times. It's a waste of space, and when you're 100KB, you can't just use up space for EXTRAS.
 * 1) Well, I guess looking good is better than accessibility and quality. If there are no red links, it is that much harder to make an entirely linked list of games. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:08, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * So what you're saying is that because it "only" drops it 3kb, it's not worth it? 1kb drop is worth it if it means shrinking this article's incredibly large size. There is NO loss in information by removing the three extra Resistances - only the three extra dates, which this list doesn't even do! And your basic argument is that a minuscule difference between the four entries for Resistance is worth repeating it. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler!

List of RCTI personallities
Hi. I have tried to add the correct line to Articles for deletion/Log/2009 January 17 but it is coming up as a redlink. I cannot for the life of me figure out why. Davidelit (talk) 16:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I noted that you had asked for the talk page of this page to be unprotected, since the page had become unprotected -- I also note that you tagged it for speedy deletion. I agreed with your tag and deleted the page and SALTed it, since I felt 12 speedy deletions in less than a year was considerably more than is usually allowed, and thus have taken the liberty of removing your request to unprotect the talk page since it cannot accompany the now-SALTed article. I trust I have understood what you wanted; if not, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste: talk 01:25, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DJ Tilt
Hello, I see that you speedy non-admin closed the AfD on DJ Tilt. En lieu of further explanation from User:OlEnglish, I would appreciate it if you re-opened the AfD; I was going to PROD the article myself before OlEnglish prodded, then de-prodded, then AfD'd, then de-AfD'd the article in the span of less than ten minutes. It would be an excess of bureaucracy to open a second AfD immediately after the close of the first; re-opening the first is more efficient. Baileypalblue (talk) 03:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Mazera screenshot?
Hi, thanks for putting up the WP:VG template on Mazera. I notice that a screenshot is requested---I presume during gameplay as opposed to merely the title screen. There are a bunch of in-game screenshots on Astraware's website, and it's easy to upload one of them for use in this article, but what about copyright issues? I'm not that familiar with Wikipedia's policy on copyrighted images, except that the title page screenshot is OK because it is needed to identify the game. What's the usual convention on this? Would it be OK if I downloaded one of the screenshots posted by Astraware and reduced its resolution? Thanks.&mdash;Tetracube (talk) 16:38, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for fixing the header on nomination page for deletion. I didn't know why it happened. I really appreciate it. Parvazbato59 (talk) 19:01, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello again. I have nominated another article for deletion and this IP user 63.26.21.136 is voting and giving opinions that can be counted as personal attack. Would you take a look at this page. Can IP users also vote? or only verified users? He is saying things like that my nomination for that article is my only focus based on my personal page?!?!?!

AFD nomination problem
Hi.

Misfit Model 3d Video games tag
May I ask why you removed the Video games wikiproject tag from Misfit Model 3d? Misfit can model for Quake 2/3, making it at the very least slightly relevant. As a comparison, Blender, which to my knowledge (and to it own article) has nothing to do with games except that it can model for them (it's Game Blender that's the video game engine), also has a video game wikiproject tag. And if the tag should be removed, shouldn't Misfit also be removed from this template, because the template deals only with video games? --DanielPharos (talk) 07:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Also, I see you added that 'id Software task force' tag. I didn't know that existed! I'll start adding it to other articles that should have it. --DanielPharos (talk) 12:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes. If they're two different products, and they're not notable enough to have their own articles, then they can't justify two non-free images. Black Kite 23:10, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Newsletter interview

 * I think it would make an interesting feature, but it's cool if you don't want to. I've always thought that you were the perfect example of a Wikipedian that didn't have to edit articles to be a good contributor. I think the project would slowly fall apart without the background stuff you do, and feel the rest of the project should know that as well. Would you be open to an interview for an issue down the road? (Guyinblack25 talk 14:46, 12 June 2009 (UTC))
 * Alright. I'll keep you mind for future issues. Thanks. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:53, 12 June 2009 (UTC))

Re: Agent Hugo series
Having all the covers would be an excessive use of non-free images, somewhat on the same reasoning List of Final Fantasy compilation albums doesnt have the album art for each album. Also i thought the empty sections for each game didnt give much to the layout of the article. Also lastly most series articles dont have infoboxs with images for the individual games. Well thats only my ideas, maybe if you dont feel i justified myself it could be questioned at the wikiproject to reach a consensus because ive done this to a few articles now.

Per our non-free image policies, multiple non-free images are only used in articles if they are necessary to significantly increase the reader's understanding.

image at Professional Ski Simulator
I had originally added a larger image to the article, and was asked to find a smaller one because non-free images of this type should be as small and low-res as possible.

Congratulations!
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your (imminent) adminship! Here are some infallible rules you should know right off the bat about adminship:


 * 1) You will always protect The Wrong Version.
 * 2) Always remember to assume good faith and not to bite the newcomers. You know when you're applying these behavioral guidelines diligently when the user(s) you're applying them to is a vandal, spammer, sock puppet, troll, or all of the above.
 * 3) When you block a user, people will complain. When you decide not to block a user, people will complain.
 * 4) When you delete a page, people will complain. When you decide not to delete a page, people will complain.
 * 5) Always use clear and descriptive language when explaining someone to user who may not be aware of something.
 * 6) Don't delete the Main Page. That mildly irritates some people.

There's always Adminship for Dummies if you wish to look up something about how the administrator functions work. Try and get familiar with the appropriate admin-related policies, such as banhammering, nuking, protecting, and general practice. You can also ask me or any other admin if you have any questions, and we'll be happy to help out. We promise not to bite the newbie admins. MuZemike 23:09, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I do not understand your deletion of that under the G1 criterion. A7 would fit, but it was certainly not patent nonsense. (Serbo-Croatian language is not nonsense.) Can you explain, please? <font face="Old English Text MT"><font color="#ee3399">Lady <font color="#0095c6">of <font color="#442288">Shalott 17:59, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know any systematic way to check. It just looked like probably another language rather than random typing to me. The way it looked, combined with the name itself made me guess likely Croatian or Serbian, and so I tried pasting the text into translate.google.com and got an imperfect translation that was enough to see that there was no indication of notability. If are unsure, you can always stick a unknown on the page, where unknown indicates that you have no idea what language it might be. <font face="Old English Text MT"><font color="#ee3399">Lady <font color="#0095c6">of <font color="#442288">Shalott 18:10, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

"Electra Records"
I, for one, feel that the best way to educate users who do not know the proper spelling of Elektra Records is to avoid useless, misspelled redirects; and rather leave no alternative but the correct, legally binding spelling. I eradicated "Parlaphone" from WP, because the record label is Parlophone. I see no difference here, and "Electra Records" will be a memory soon enough. Thank you for your time :> Doc9871 (talk) 13:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I've responded to your reply on my talk page. I realize that you are an administrator, which makes me more curious as to why one would feel that perpetuating a misspelling somehow aids one that doesn't know the correct spelling.  The only way to educate a reader on the correct spelling is to eliminate the incorrect spellings and redirects, especially of  actively operating corporations like Elektra (that have the ability to sue if they wanted to).  Please help me understand the reasoning behind keeping Electra Records, rather than eliminate it like Parlaphone was... Doc9871 (talk) 13:37, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Me again! (yippee, right? :>) Hopefully you're watching my talk page, as I completed the task of eliminating the false information from WP entirely. Now how's about getting rid of what now truly amounts to a useless, pointless, and misinforming "redirect' page? I don't want to have to go through this again, pleeeeeease... Doc9871 (talk) 07:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for any remarks I made that may have been interpreted as negative. I always maintained that your new status as an administrator bore no more or less weight with me than if you a grey-bearded hanging judge admin ;>  I always respected (and continue to respect) your authority and educated WP opinion, and again I'm sorry if I made any overly sarcastic remarks.
 * As I'm sure you've seen on my talk page, I have been "set straight" on the issue. Sorry for any misunderstandings.  Cheers... Doc9871 (talk) 14:19, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I created a page on a software product, with the intention of making a good page. I wrote some text to change it later, went to look for some good references and citations, then when I went back to the page to improve it, you had already deleted it after less than 5 minutes. I am very fond of Wikipedia but I am not a frequent editor. I have often thought I should contribute more to Wikipedia but, after this, I think I will use my time on other things.--Eschatoon (talk) 19:15, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Polish Footballer of the Year
Polish Footballer of the Year shouldn't rediredt to article about "Piłka nożna" magazine plebiscite, because the player was voted only by journalists from "Piłka Nożna" magazine. In this year they choose Mariusz Lewadnowski which is very controversial choice. Many web sites and people in commentaries are laughing about it.

Today was another award ceremony Polish Football Oscars. Footballer of the year award was voted by footballers from Polish Ekstraklasa. And Lewandowski wasn't in the best 3 nominated players.

In Polish there is more Footballer of the year plebiscites like "Sport" magazine which is voted since 1966 by readers of this magazine, and can be voted on web site currently.

"Piłka nożna" magazine plebiscite is most biassed plebiscite, only few jouralists of this magazine is voting, so the article about their choices shouldn't be named as "Polish Footballer of the year".--Oleola (talk) 22:45, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello and good morning. Someone tagged this article A1 which you deleted soon afterwards. While this article probobly deserved deletion, I strong disagree that it was an A1 candidate.

Hi MrKIA11! If you're like me, you may have noticed in your watchlist that this redlink has turned blue again. The reason for this is that I declined a speedy deletion nomination of this recently recreated article, because it is not eligible for speedy deletion under criterion A7 (or any other criterion for that matter), as said criterion does not apply to fictional characters. This may be difficult to distinguish sometimes, but looking at the deleted revision, it is clear that the article is not about a real person.

Winters page deletion
Hello - the Winters Instruments page was deleted. I felt that the information was non-biased, listed corporate information like locations and business activities, and a history of how the company was formed. This is a company that has been in business for 56 years and well-established in Canada. It also operates in 3 other countries. Could you please shed some light to which part was deemed "ambiguous advertising"? I am willing to edit the article if you can advise (at this point, I cannot edit as the article is deleted with no log). Thank you. Winmktg (talk) 17:35, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Brad Keselowski Racing
Can I restore the article? The team is definitely notable and it shouldn't have been speedy eligible (especially since it did have context). I don't understand what happened to my fellow WikiProject NASCAR member User:D-Day. He keeps nominating lower NASCAR teams for speedy deletion even though they should be allowed to have articles. I once promoted a DYK article for a baseball pitcher who pitched one big league inning, which is less notable than these teams are. If I do a quick google search, I immediately find reliable sources from Sports Illustrated and the Detroit News  on the first page.  Royal broil  04:54, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

PMS CLAN
Hi there. You deleted the PMS Clan page recently. In the talk section there was shown to be quite a lot of problems with the balance of the text bias. Initially it was mainly factual and it was then seen as not deemed to be worthy of having a page, and narrowly avoided a deletion. There was quite a big disccusion and defense about the clan being note worthy. It was then re-written to show that the PMS Clan was indeed well known, and included some facts and made it a little more fame worthy, but then the page was seen to be as 'advertsing'. It is quite hard to win when trying to write it well and keep the balance. Still I would like to have a go. How do I go about finding the original text just to help me re-write it?

Deletion of Barbara Ovstedal
Hello! You deleted the article Barbara Ovstedal writing "expired prod", but the prod was contested, and the article was expanded (by me) and the template was removed (by another user). This resulted in the article disappearing without notice. I'm sure it was a mistake. I asked another admin to restore it. Just wanted to let you know.

re: Darius Gaiden
that was more directed at what happened to Darius:

the Darius article originally had that poster, the Darius Gaiden poster; I thought it would be better to upload the Darius poster and replace on the Darius article and then take the Gaiden poster and replace the cover art on the Darius Gaiden article with it

there's not much explanation for the latter other than "hey I like arcade posters better than port covers" (though it's for obvious reasons), but that was the plan I thought up before I even went through with the switch (i.e. I did not know Darius Gaiden had the Saturn cover art up) and I didn't feel like stopping

so if someone wants to switch the Gaiden poster back to a cover, I can't really stop you, but I'd reeeeaaaaally rather someone not  Elm-39 - T/C/N 21:12, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
