edit war at starcraft progaming
Thanks for the note. I don't think I'm anywhere close to the three revert rule, but I'll be sure to stay calm. Left a note on the IP's talk page, which he or she seems to be ignoring. I agree about the sources not being the best. But my intuition is that the foreign commentator scene is notable - 30 million video views on youtube - probably merits some mention in this article. de Bivort 19:59, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you still have a fair ways to go, but it seems every revert is just reverted again. Just making sure we're all on the same page. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs/Vote! 20:01, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you point me to a policy page on evaluating online sources, in the context of communities like gamers? The WP:RS pages don't really seem relevant. What do you call a site like gosugamers.net, or sc2gg.com, or tl.net? They are self published in some sense, but have independent staff. Is huffingtonpost.com considered reliable? It's online and has more or less the same system of self-publication originally followed by the accumulation of staff. /shrug. de Bivort 01:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of A New Beginning (album)
An editor has nominated A New Beginning (album), an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 01:31, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, WP:CSD does apply to albums, for example,, but would likely have been declined due to weak claims of notability of some sort in this particular article. DMacks (talk) 01:35, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Task force allocations for Milhist project
Hi NativeForeigner, have you allocated to the task forces that interest you for Milhist yet? I'm not sure if you've seen the list yet, but there are still quite a few spots open for co-ords to add their name too. There are a couple of task forces without any co-ord, so if you are keen they can be all yours! Apologies if you've already added your name and I missed it. The relevant link is here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Coordinators. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 06:38, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've looked at the coordinator talk page, but somehow missed that hulking table. I'll sign myself up. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs/Vote! 17:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

YO
"edit war" ...sure. it is so common of wikipedia users to hold their opinion above others without looking into an issue. first of all, the commentators listed are not selected for being the most popular, their are other more popular commentators that are unlisted. secondly, all the commentators listed are all part of the sc2gg network which leads me further to beleive that their is a large bias by the person adding them in. sc2gg has put money into advertising and this could be one of their strategies. Thirdly, de bivort treats that article like a baby and will not accept any change even if its correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.189.100 (talk) 23:34, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It was cited, and you did not seem to wish to discuss the issue.  If you have any problems with it bring up the issues on the talk page. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs/Vote! 04:59, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

MILHIST Comments regarding ACR
Sorry if I seem gripey on the milhist page and I am glad to see new folks such as yourself (well your new to me anyway) taking an active interest in the project. --Kumioko (talk) 04:06, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, not at all. ACR seemed a bit convoluted when I looked into it anyways.  I am admittedly fairly new to milhist, and I'm a coord now due to fairly low turnout in the elections, so anything to help me figure it out seems great.  I was just considering getting more involved in the process a few days ago anyways. It is quite confusing, and the whole process discourages new people from getting involved.

WP:MCQ
I hope you don't mind but I responded to Media copyright questions because your answer was inaccurate. ww2censor (talk) 14:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I made an assumption that it would be creative.  In real life you do not need to say it was based off a PD work, but for the purposes of wikipedia confirmation you do, if I'm not mistaken.  Thanks for the better phrased answer.

Jeeze Chrizt man!!!!!!
Well that wasn't a harassment comment I was trying to be helpful because usually when that woman edits a page she makes about thirty revisions in thirty minutes so I wanted to you know give her a hint!! Also, I have removed the images from my talk page and will remove the images from my signature. Thanks!!!  MANATH  The Mage Singer (talk) 01:03, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
 * oh cool userboxes by the way really sleek i have to get me some of those  MANATH  The Mage Singer (talk) 01:04, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

tropenmuseum
My point was that giving the images away is amazing. That is enough for the hook. The picture might instead of being of the museum.... might be one of the more iconic pictures it has shared. Lots of museums should follow the tropenmuseum's lead. sorry if I confused you. hopefully a bit better now? Victuallers (talk) 07:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for working on the article. I intended to remove the 'recipe' of course; I just left it temporarily, hoping I might come across some of the facts in that part, and be able to convert it into the prose - I guess I was attempting to salvage something of the work of the original creator.  Chzz  ►  00:28, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Certainly. Where is the link at the bottom of the ref section from. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs/Vote! 00:34, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

help is definitely needed.
If you go here, to section 7 you can see the list of articles they've edited. Some are up for GA already, but most of them could really use some help on the wikification, etc, comments, reviews, and general encouragement. There have been a few instances of them stepping on the toes of people with vested interests (ownership issues), but generally they are finding wikipedians cooperative and helpful.

Truman FAR
Hi NativeForeigner - Comments have been made by several editors at the Truman FAR (Featured article review/Harry S. Truman/archive1) on further work that is needed before the article is kept as a FA. I realize that it may have been more to your tastes if the comments had been made while the article was in the FAR section, but they have been made now and need to be addressed if the article is to be kept. I hope you are interested in doing more work on the article, as the efforts you have put into the article so far have helped immensely. Thanks! Dana boomer (talk) 23:45, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

ACR close
Just as I did for User:Ranger Steve here: User_talk:Ranger_Steve, I am going to critique your close of the ACR for List of battleships of Germany so you don't make the same mistakes again. It would probably be extremely helpful to take a look at my string of edits the next time I close a review as successful to know what to do and how to do it correctly. That is until I publish the Academy article I have been planning on closing these. -MBK004 01:40, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 * In closing the actual review, make sure that the archive template is properly positioned on the page, as Woody fixed, and it is also a good idea to use a full signature of four tildes so the date and time is also there.
 * My tabbed browsing comments to Ranger Steve are still relevant.
 * This is a problem, you should have also changed class=B to class=A and remove the B-Class checklist from our template as well as WP:SHIPS since we have a cross-listing agreement. This is also the case if the article was a WP:AVIATION article.
 * You completely neglected to add the archived review to the review archive and the project newsletter - Wood fixed both of these.
 * In adding the article to the showcase, you neglected to update the tally of A-Class articles
 * On making nominations for ACMs, new noms go at the bottom just like talk page discussion, and usually the listing of the articles is with the oldest article first and the newest article last, as I have fixed it. Also, don't forget to italicize ship names, in this case SMS is very helpful.
 * I won't comment on the Article History since Woody took care of that for you.
 * Thanks. As for not finishing the review I actually lost internet, and still knew I needed to do those. When I got back woody had already taken care of it, so there wasn't much I could do. Still, that looks helpful. NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 02:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Jack-in-cube animation on FP
I wanted to let you know that I withdrew a featured picture nomination on which you voted so I could improve upon it. Consequently, your vote has been disenfranchised. The new, lighter version is here at Featured_picture_candidates/Jack-in-cube_(lighter). Greg L (talk) 23:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
