MechScape
Hi Ren! I noticed the article you've created on MechScape. Nothing wrong with it of course, it might just be jumping the gun a tad, but... I've created a new thread about MechScape at WT:RUNESCAPE, if you'd like to comment. Cheers! CaptainVindaloo t c e 21:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't take the AfD too hard, whatever you do. I'd honestly prefer to see it redirected, so we can preserve the edit history for the inevitable recreation and present an oppurtunity for merging. A straight copy-and-paste with a little biting off the corners to fit should work. Seriously, don't feel down about it. :-) CaptainVindaloo t c e 18:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Mechscape
I have nominated Mechscape, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Mechscape&. 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.

Re: Runescape
No specific image, I just thought any sort of image was necessary to give the public a general idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DakotaDAllen (talk • contribs) 22:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Office Open XML free
Why are you disputing the evident fact that OOXML is free. As all Ecma standards are. Who is charging money for it then ? hAl (talk) 19:57, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just because nobody is charging doesn't mean it is "free", as it is my understanding that implementations of the specification could be covered by Microsoft patents (see Groklaw). --RS Ren (talk) 10:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Reading groklaw on MS related issues and taking them serieus is just a bit laughable. And even then even the groklaw the article never suggests the licensing for format would not be free. However it is an old article that suggests the free licensing would only apply to Micrsoft version of the format (Office 12 format) and not to the Ecma standard version of it. Very interesting how bad a forecast that was as Micrsoft extended the OSP licensing to the Ecma formats from day one after standardization in 2006 and has also commited to doing so for the upcumming ISO version. hAl (talk) 13:51, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Please be neutral
RS Ren, please note that whilst you may be a Runescape player and enjoy the game that Wikipedia is for all to use, the vast majority of whom are not Runescape players and read the article for its information rather than as a fan source. The article is currently blatantly advertising in places. I have already spent time fixing neutrality issues to get rid of that tag, and you could help get rid of the remaining tag by being bold rather than instructing other people to fix things or pretending that there is no problem.

As with the Funorb article, it has been nominated for deletion as it lacks notability. Any article regarding a small gaming website which is only a few months like Funorb will usually be deleted. Thanks, PeterA (talk) 15:58, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * In relation to RuneScape I am trying to be neutral. As you can see from my posts in the archive, I have looked through dozens of articles relating to RuneScape and listed them in chronological order. This allows for articles to be better informed and better sourced. Any of the criticisms of RuneScape that I've noticed have been added to the article (e.g. the mention of player discontent relating to the anti-RWT changes). While I am aware of much criticism of RuneScape, the policies of Wikipedia say that they are insufficiently authoritative and therefore my hands are tied. --RS Ren (talk) 17:32, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

people please! let me just give us all a compormise. the compromise is we create a new article about runescape and runescape classic. the runescape article and the funorb article will be merged. that is all that the compromise is.Hawkey131 (talk) 06:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Merging FunOrb with Jagex makes much more sense than merging it with RuneScape. --RS Ren (talk) 10:19, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Piracy
Hi there. I dispute your claim that "piracy" is not NPOV. Not a huge deal, but I think there is clear consensus, both within and without Wikipedia that it is a reasonable, fair, and appropriate term to use. "Copyright infringement" is much more general and doesn't capture what's going on in this case with sufficient specificity (in re your edits to Film). Thanks. jhawkinson (talk) 02:18, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
