Image copyright problem with Image:BARIS_Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BARIS_Cover.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:.

Please signify the copyright information 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 for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 06:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:VoskhodCapsule.gif. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you uploaded the same image twice: as Image:VoskhodCapsule.gif and also as Image:Voskhod.gif. The latter copy of the file has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and remember exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 21:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Mprince-c.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Mprince-c.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 04:26, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Machiavelli: The Prince
Hello, I see you've done a very good job on creating and maintaining Machiavelli: The Prince. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a game review/guide. Your article isn't written in an encyclopedic tone. Please improve it accordingly. You can see more about the style you should use at Manual of Style. By the way, keep up the good work! - DTRY 18:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I'm a fan of the game too, although I never won it (can't keep my lead in the long run.)

Army of Darkness
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Tiggerjay 20:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:  The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field - please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sebesta (talk • contribs).

Fair use rationale for Image:Venice Machiavelli.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Venice Machiavelli.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.

your edit to Alexey_Leonov
Hi, why did you add this detail? It's true (per Voskhod 2), but I don't understand how it clarifies Leonov's reentry problems. --Jtir (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * [Copied from User talk:Jtir to maintain context.] --Jtir (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Why did I add that Leonov's airlock was inflatable? I was trying to emphasize that the troubles he had getting back into the capsule were likely due to a questionable design.  My addition may have been somewhat questionable; I wouldn't be offended if you think the article is better off without it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peyre (talk • contribs) 18:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. Voskhod 2 goes into fascinating detail on this event. The major problem was that "Leonov’s Berkut suit ballooned". Maybe the airlock contributed, but the article, which is sourced, doesn't say so. --Jtir (talk) 21:47, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * "an inflatable airlock just plain sounds dangerous."
 * Yes, rather like an air mattress. :-)
 * From Voskhod 2 it sounds like the design was complex, with redundancy.
 * I also misremembered -- Leonov went in head-first and then got stuck trying to turn around to close the outside hatch. Fortunately, he didn't need to use his suicide pill. --Jtir (talk) 22:40, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 22:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey again!
Hiya Peyre, I noticed you're getting involved in the BARIS article again. I hope you like how it's turned out thus far- if the responses from other people in the video games wikiproject are any indication, it ought to be rated B-class soon. The main place it seems to be lacking though is in the reception section, and I was wondering if you had any more publications that indicate what the critical reception of the game was? Or really any more publications at all... while the BARIS companion turned out to be a life saver, we really need most of the stuff we say to appear in reliable, third-party sources.

Also, where did you find out that the XMS-2 image is based off the Northrop M2-F2? Honestly it looks a bit more like the Northrop M2-F3 to me. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 17:01, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad you called me on the M2-F2 comment. It looks like you're right; the M2-F3 has that third fin, which the M2-F2 lacked. I'll update the BARIS entry accordingly. My source on it was an email from Erik Anderson, answering some questions I had about the XMS-2 back in March 2005. He wrote: "He [Fritz] didn't want to call it HL-10 or M2-F2, though in fact we used shots of those lifting bodies." It looks like they used the M2-F3 instead of, or in addition to, the M2-F2. Certainly they used the -F3 for the pictures in the administration screens. Looks like I need to update the alt on my XMS-2 image on The Docking Module, too.

My source indicating the game's critical reception would be the reviews I found on the game, which are linked to from the Links--Reviews box in The Docking Module. I wish I had more for you on that, but those were my main source.Peyre (talk) 21:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speaking of which, those links on The Docking Module have been of immense value in building the article to the point it is at now. We'd be dead in the water without the info from the BARIS Companion to fuel the development section. I'm thinking with the info I plan on digging out of Computer Gaming World (once I make the pilgrimage to my alma mater), it'll be fleshed out a lot better. Same library might have more gaming mags of the era, which might help out, especially with critical reception. Anyhow, things are looking good so far. I suspect we aren't far from a B-class article or maybe better, just gotta fill in those gaps. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 06:10, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Good, I'm glad they were helpful to you. I'm glad to see the progress you're making on the article--that's great that you're putting all this time and effort into the article.  BTW, do you have a paper or electronic copy of the Companion?
 * I was able to dig up an electronic copy of the Companion. Also, wasn't there a 100-some page "historical manual"? I was able to find the regular manual that came with my CD-ROM edition, but I haven't seen anything more substantial. &mdash;/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 19:59, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not aware of another publication besides the game manual and the Companion. I'm guessing that the "historical manual" you've heard of must be the Companion itself, since over half of it is historical background.  But if there is another BARIS manual out there, I'd be very interested in reading it.

Empire of Brazil
Hi! I´ve seen that you corrected quite a few mistakes in the Empire of Brazil article. Could you also take a look in the sections "From Kingdom to Empire", "Imperial Constitution" and "Confederation of Equator" in the article History of the Brazilian Empire? Thank you very much, - --Lecen (talk) 12:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I am the guy who wrote the text... heh heh... I had a lot of work reading so many books to make the text in portuguese. But I thought that the english Wikipedia could also enjoy more information regarding the matter. The problem is exactly that: I needed someone who could correct all grammar mistakes. But thanks a lot, you´re helping a lot! - --Lecen (talk) 16:36, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello! Thank you once more for your help! I am a little bit tired of writing the texts about the Brazilian Empire, but I believe I´ll try to make something about the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary branch, but not now. Although I must confess that the text about the the history of the Empire it is still full of historical mistakes. Well, I believe that we shall fix it with time.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mars Rafikov
A tag has been placed on Mars Rafikov requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

"Church is singular, not plural"
This is true, but you may be interested to learn that both "the Church are" and "the Church is" are considered correct in British English. It depends mainly on whether the noun is envisaged as representing a single entity or a group of individuals. Of course, this is consierably less common in US English, so your edit was justified given the context. But I thought, on the off-chance that you didn't know already, that you might be interested (there's more here). garik (talk) 17:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

December 2011
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to David Fasold, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 07:25, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to David Fasold. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 07:25, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Most of the edits I make are minor ones, so I think I've gotten in the habit of checking the box and may be occasionally forgetting to not do that when I make a more substantial edit--I need to start paying closer attention to that. I also wasn't sure just where the line was drawn between a minor edit and a non-minor one; I'll try to bear that in mind in the future. As to the content I added to David Fasold, it seemed an appropriate observation; deathbed conversions of non-Christians have been claimed by Christians in the past, and this seemed very reminiscent of those. Perhaps I'll add it back if I can find some solid references to this sort of thing happening. Peyre (talk) 16:26, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

 * You seem to be missing the point in the AFD. An album must be notable to have its own article.  An article that simply lists tracks is not notable, especially if none of the tracks are notable in their own right (✉→BWilkins←✎) 23:53, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

The article on Milladoiro included links for its albums, most of which articles hadn't been created. Since I have those albums, I thought I could at least contribute what information was available on them (including the cover art), rather than leaving them out there as links with no destination. Peyre (talk) 00:01, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, it seems that someone else out there decided most of the articles I wrote for Milladoiro's early albums merited deletion without even a discussion, and went ahead with same (leading to the orphaning and automatic deletion of the cover art), and the links to those albums now redirect to the main Milladoiro page. I guess it sort of doesn't matter now what's done with this album; feel free to delete it if you feel it's shaky. Peyre (talk) 05:20, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The requirements under WP:NALBUM are the key thing for you: individual albums typically do not deserve an article of their own. It's ok to list them on the artist talkpage.  Don't be discouraged. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 21:02, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

"We're deleting all the articles you just wrote because they were unimportant, and your uploaded photos associated with those articles will soon follow." Why be discouraged? Peyre (talk) 22:53, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

BARIS
Hi Peyre, recently you moved BARIS to the List of open-source video games and I moved it to list of ex-commercial games as also the content seems under a non-commercial freeware license, according to a copyright information on your former geocity fansite.

That could be a simple error on my part, though I thought that BARIS (or RIS, the port of BARIS) counted since the owners have opened the game, and the source is freely downloadable from RIS's SourceForge page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/raceintospace/).

Concerted effort to push the BARIS article even farther
Hi Peyre, long time no talk. Not sure how active you are around here, but I've started to get interested in improving the BARIS article again. I was wondering, since you're fairly well versed with what's out there about the game, if you had any leads on publications talking about the game or developers, especially ones that might not have been digitized, or might not be readily accessible? Like how the CGW articles were next to impossible to find. I really think we're not far from getting the article to the point where we can get it rated a B-class, or even up to Good Article status... or even farther. As sparse as info seems to be out there, the stuff I am finding makes it sound like the game was actually quite beloved and well-remembered, even if it didn't make as big a splash as some of the other titles Interplay published in the same general period.

Anyway, just thought I'd ping you here. I'm not in any kind of rush (exams for the next few days and then busy for the holidays), but I'm thinking if anyone can help with this, it'd be you. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 22:31, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hey, good to hear from you! I don't know of much else, unfortunately. When I put together the Docking Module, I scoured the Internet and included on it everything I could find pertaining to BARIS. If I think of anything I'll let you know. Peyre (talk) 22:55, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

National varieties of English
Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 08:55, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
 * When copy-editing, you can also look for templates like  at the top of the page's source, which tell you what variety to use. –&#8239;Joe (talk) 08:58, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
