Don't worry too much about being perfect. Very few of us are! Just in case you are not perfect, click here to see how you can avoid making common mistakes.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. A third option is to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator.

One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with four tildes ( ~ ). The software will automatically convert this into your signature which can be altered in the "Preferences" tab at the top of the screen. I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself and be BOLD! –BuickCenturyDriver 01:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

The Film characters category
Please don't add this category to character articles where the character originates in video games. It's the same reason we don't add "Female video game character" as a category to articles like Rogue (comics) because they're licensed, or why Doctor Eggman isn't listed as a comic book character.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 01:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Then why are the Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Mario characters on there if they're not supposed to be on there in the first place? Philipnova798 (talk) 02:00, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Accidents happen sometimes. If you notice it's inconsistent (Mario himself didn't have it until you added it for example). As a rule such categories should be used once and only by the type of content the character originated in.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:10, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

What about those other edits I made? You going to revert those back too? (I know Skids wouldn't but the rest?) Philipnova798 (talk) 11:00, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it was pretty clear that category should only be used for characters originating in films?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit dispute on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Hi. I'm writing this to all frequent contributors to the article on Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It happens that there's this guy BIGNOLE, who was the one who intended to replace the plot with a pamphlet-like overview of the movie. Well now he has popped again, deciding that random information has to be removed (namely the appearance of Frenzy's head, and the appearance of a Buffalo mine-sweeping vehicle -Bonecrusher's alt mode in the 2007 movie- among the Decepticons in Egypt). This guy first removed both of these calling WP:OR on them, but has changed the story several times in the course of the discussion. My main concern with him is that he doesn't even know what he's talking about. He doesn't know the characters, and has shown to ignore major background plot points about the story, so it really bugs me him popping in whenever he likes and chopping off the info he doesn't regard as important just because he is on Wikiproject Films. Please take a look at the discussion and make yourself heard. It's kinda tiresome being the only one who seems to care, seeing as people discuss around, but just sit and watch whenever there's real decissions to be made. I won't care if you end up taking sides against me. Make yourself heard. uKER (talk) 07:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
