ANS Group of Companies
This article is important because ANS Group of Companies by itself being the first independent news company in Azerbaijan has been playing significant role in the development of the independent media.Gulmammad (talk) 15:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. The article as it stood, see below, did not make clear the notability of the group, please take a look at WP:CORP for some information on what makes a company notable.
 * ANS Group of Companies is the main news company in Azerbaijan. It was founded by brothers Vahid and Seyfulla Mustafayev, and Mirshahin Agayev in 1990
 * Hope this helps, --Oscarthecat (talk) 19:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Sylvie Courvoisier deleted
Hi, I do not see the point, that the first version is a copyright infringement. The article was in most parts a translation of German WP. Second version is a preliminary stub (after review more).--Engelbaet 16:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi - appeared that much of the text in http://www.sylviecourvoisier.com/imports/bio/bio_courvoisier_engl.pdf had been cut+pasted into the Sylvie article, so it was deleted as a copyvio. Great to see that article is now much improved and no longer suffers from the violation.  Regards, --Oscarthecat 18:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, it is not "much improved" but shortened and a (valid) stub. Please do me a favour and compare my 1st version with the pdf! Even "much of the text" would not be a copyright violation. My first version is neither in the same order nor is it excluding Courvoisier's studies.--Engelbaet 06:03, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * As a current user of German WP (700 entries per month) I am able to diagnose that Your user orientation, Your abilities in review and especially Your way of legitmating Your actions need some improvement.--Engelbaet 06:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

One Piece
Seriously, do you even know what One Piece is? It isn't a game. I'll agree with deletetion for the article can go ahead as the article for the One Piece bounties page isn't too big a loss... However, can you stop saying the info belongs on a gaming wikia because it ISN'T a game. It does have games based on it, however the bounties are not on there. It makes you seem ignorant towards the subject in deletation if you don't acknowledge the subject in certain ways. Angel Emfrbl 17:36, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Apologies - point now taken. --Oscarthecat 17:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * When your used to seeing people going around souly bent on mass deleting things, seeing someone saying sorry about not knowing what something is about is wonderful. Esp. considering when you have whole articles explaining what the subject. Your better then most wikipedians here in my opinion!  :D Angel Emfrbl 08:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Gundam
I have noticed you nominated a series of Gundam related articles for deletion. Seriously, do you know anything about Gundam? It is not just a comic, it is a meta-series that got 12 anime only in the Universal Century timeline, and hundreds of comics series and few dozens of games, not to mention it is always holding up over 15% of the model hobby magazines contents on every issue. It might not be as popular in America or western culture, but it is hardly non-notable. Please, do not nominate articles for deletion if you do not have knowledge in it, at least read the main article before doing anything. MythSearchertalk 03:38, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Don't edit Gundam articles when you don't know anything about the subject matter and are displaying wilfull ignorance of the subject. The material is from a number of anime series, not a comic book or a game. Jtrainor 16:31, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't like your tone or your attitude. First you accuse me of a bad faith deletion nomination (which multiple editors disagree with) and now you order me to avoid editing pages.  I realise you disagree with my nomination, as you're clearly a Gundam fan and knowledgeable on the subject, but that's no reason to be discourteous to a fellow Wikipedian after some of the articles got deleted after due process. --Oscarthecat 19:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Notice there are 2 people up there. I did not ask you to stop editing related articles, I simply asked you to at least have knowledge in what Gundam is, at least please don't say it is just a comic.  Also, I really really want you to say specifically what kind of sources aer needed to make a subject notable.  I have read WP:NOTE quite a lot of times, especially every time when there is a mass nom Afd going on, it asks for the following:

Quote A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.'''
 * "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but less than exclusive.
 * "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject are a good test for notability.
 * "Sources," defined on Wikipedia as secondary sources, provide the most objective evidence of notability. The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally preferred.
 * "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including: self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc.

Satisfying this presumption of notability indicates a particular topic is worthy of notice, and may be included in the encyclopedia as a stand-alone article. Verifiable content not supported by multiple independent sources may be appropriate for merger with another article.

end quote


 * So, a magazine the was published before the show, got 1/10 of an issue covering the topic, stating it as one of the most popular, should satistfy the significant test on the first point and should be independent and reliable. And Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media. meaning we chould be able to use any sources even if it mainly covers anime, as long as it is not a commercial ad of the specific show.  So, please tell me if I can use such magazines as sources. MythSearchertalk 07:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Zzap64 issue1.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Zzap64 issue1.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.

Tropical Storm Allison
I removed the changes you did in this edit per WP:MOSNUM, which states Yearless dates (5 March, March 5) are inappropriate unless the year is obvious from the context. The lede and infobox very clearly establish the year as 2001, so there is no need to link it so many times in the storm history. --Hurricanehink ( talk ) 16:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Musical roles on the voice type pages
The consensus has been to not put musical roles on these pages as often times different voice types are cast in the same parts. There isn't as clear defined of a distinction as there is within classsical music roles. For example, Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady is often played by both sopranos and mezzo-sopranos. Also, finding sources to cite such lists has proven difficult. See the talk page on the soprano voice type page where this topic has been discussed as well as the voice type page and the opera wikiproject page. This issue was solved last fall and I am sad to see people trying to put musical lists back on the voice type pages.Nrswanson (talk) 22:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Space Invaders - Suggestion
Hi Oscar, you successfully veto'd my plea to keep intact the space invaders high scores a while back... the reason why i am here is to ask you review the space invaders wiki, specifically, the last section regarding street art.. I feel this should be removed, or put into its own section as this street art is specific to a particular web site and vision of an individual. it really has nothing to do with Space Invaders, other than the fact the graphics are from the game. case in point, if I have an art company that makes space invaders posters, can I advertise it on the space invaders wiki? i think not. Anyway, I wanted to ask you to review it, and not me simply deleting it, as I like the democratic process as opposed to just editing it as i see fit. And I respect your opinion.

I got him from the CPL about a year ago (they stopped his kitten-manufacturing career and ran a brush through him) and while he can be a stroppy little sod occasionally, I think he's great.

 * Hi there. No worries, I've moved it over for you.  This Oscar doesn't like spag bol but eats tissue paper given a chance.  Best regards, --Oscarthecat (talk)

Thanks for doing that for me. :) Plutonium27 (talk) 00:15, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Improving Star Wars to Featured Article status
I am currently working on improving Star Wars to Featured Article status, and I noticed that you have made a substantial amount of contributions recently. If you have time, I would appreciate it if you could help out and improve the article. Right now, the primary thing that needs to be done is the addition of more references - the article simply is not referenced enough. I have added tags on the page, which shows up as   to make it easier to find what information needs references. Thanks for your time! Gary King (talk) 04:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Point Dume Freedom Fighters
I, at present, am very upset over the deletion of the article named "Point Dume Freedom Fighters." Checking your A7 reason, you claimed that there was no importance. According to my knowledge, over 20 people have been seriously injured by the PDFF and thousands of dollars of damage have been done. Deleting this article was a horrible descion, as I realized that I was the first to put this article up. This is a serious issue, and deleting it for an A7 reason is horrible. If you would be willing, I would accept the content back and change it to your standards before adding it back. Sincerely, Benfranklinlover —Preceding unsigned comment added by Benfranklinlover (talk • contribs)
 * The article made no such claims and as it stood, appeared to be suitable for an A7 deletion. If it gets revised/rewritten, I'll be happy to review it for you. --Oscarthecat (talk) 23:39, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * If you could put it back, I would make the changes. Thanks. Benfranklinlover (talk) 17:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, now reinstated with a "work in progress" tag added for now. Regards, --Oscarthecat (talk) 20:40, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Sysop help needed at Template:WikiProject Video games
There was a mistake made at Template:WikiProject Video games that has removed all of our articles from assessment categories. Could you please A) complete the editprotect at Template_talk:WikiProject_Video_games or B) reverse the last edit to the Template? Whichever you prefer, it's just a kinda big glitch. Thanks! JohnnyMrNinja  08:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, now reverted. --Oscarthecat (talk) 08:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. editprotects on important visible templates tend to get put off, because people are worried about making mistakes. JohnnyMrNinja  08:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * WAIT! LOL you reverted the talk page, sorry I meant the template. JohnnyMrNinja  08:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 * As you didn't respond, I hope that wasn't taken offensively. I thought it was funny because I spent a minute freaking out because it wasn't working, and I felt bad that I had asked you to make an edit that would have to be fixed. I really appreciate you responding so quickly to my request in the first place. Cheers! JohnnyMrNinja  11:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Eoin Duggan
Hey, the "information" added to Coláiste an Spioraid Naoimh about this kid is, quite simply, BS. I can't find a single reference to it using Google. Could I ask that you semi-protect the page for a while to ward off the anon user? Thanks. (I also notice it's been added to Bishopstown as well.) --Schcambo aon scéal? 15:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, now semi-protected, good idea. Cheers, --Oscarthecat (talk) 16:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Custodian Guard
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Custodian Guard, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Custodian Guard is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Custodian Guard, 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.

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

AfD nomination of Jetman (character)
I have nominated Jetman (character), an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Jetman (character). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. TTN (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Your comment at that AfD is impressive. Very cool of you to be honest like that. ThuranX (talk) 21:45, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
