Re:Just Cause 2
Hey mate, dont worry I understand what you mean. Its just that earlier on this month the official artwork was released and says "only ox the xbox 360", I was just trying to raise a point there but its really no problem, I will try seek out a better source when more is announced. Thanks mate —Preceding unsigned comment added by Casket56 (talk • contribs) 00:05, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah sorry, the reason I changed it was because I found the rationale of the previous image to be lacking. But then I thought I could just as well change the rationale of the other image, but since I don't know where the other user got the image from, I did not do that.

Anyway, what do you think, keep the older image or swithc to the new one? Either is fine. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Calamity-Ace (talk • contribs) 19:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Flatoutpc.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Flatoutpc.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Actually, they are notable; they're just usually written differently (see Crysis). · AndonicO  Engage. 00:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Call of Duty: World at War
Both articles are practically stub. Almost everything in the DS game article is redundant. We split AFTER notability is established, not before and cross our fingers. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:34, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Now that WP:VG seems to have come to a concurrence on the issue, I think it would be appropriate to merge. Response? - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Crysis Warhead Boxart.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Crysis Warhead Boxart.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:21, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Perceived conflict of interest
I'm aware of our policy on this matter, and am satisfied it doesn't necessitate my avoiding editing articles around the Shell to Sea campaign. Rest assured I remain careful to avoid slanting any additions I make to articles.

If you're going to continue to blank relevant material, whitewash any mention of events that could indicate that the guards or the government might not have the best of intentions, and insert weasel words like they were going out of fashion, I have no option but to revert you. I'm happy to try to find sources for any info you might consider dubious, but much of your editing has a decidedly political flavour I find distasteful.

Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 09:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Likewise.

Lapsed Pacifist (talk) 09:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

It's instructive how you translate "avoid, or exercise great caution" into simply "avoiding". You're being more than a little selective in your interpretation of our guidelines.

RE: GTA Chinatown Wars
Hey, what if I have permission from the copyright holder, which is myself? I have already summarized information from the magazine, and it's a pain to repharase everything altogether again. I really want to contribute to the article, which had a lack of information. Hotdvl666 (talk) 11:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. ww2censor (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Article nominated for deletion
I've just nominated List of United States journalism scandals for deletion. I don't see the point of two articles giving the same information. Redddogg (talk) 19:38, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Garda Public Order Unit
Hello Falcon9x5, just a friendly note, I have noticed that on the above article you are in breach of your three-revert rule, I am not going to template you or anything like that, but I do urge you, as I am the other editor involved, to stop reverting. Because sooner or later the other use will report you, or you'll report the other use, or an Admin will notice. And then you run the risk of being blocked. Thanks & regards. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) ☺ 14:10, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Further to that, I have made a section on the discussion page where you can both sort this out. Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs) ☺ 14:13, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you deleted my IGN-UK review for fable 2. I can't get the link to work and I asked for help in the talk page. Could you help me get it to work instead of just deleting it please. Thanks Wardenusa (talk) 18:13, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

killzone
no kid mgs4 is 1080p, resistance is not 1080i it is 720p. killzone 2 beta is currently at 720p. you don't have a clue about the ps3 so forget about it and go edit some xbox or flower related or whatever article. Cliché Online (talk) 19:47, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

gamepad
why do you only use "gamepad" for ps3 articles and not xbox 360 articles? these articles (Halo 3 and Gears of War 2) use "Xbox360 Controller" instead of gamepad, i'm looking forward to check when you're gonna change this to "gamepad". what's your explanation for removing Dual Shock 3 and Sixaxis and keeping Xbox360 Controller i'm curious to know. also why were the dual shock 3 and sixaxis made for if we don't link to them and use gamepad instead.

THP8

 * Okay, sorry, my bad regarding the links; to be quite honest, I was only wondering why the soundtrack was removed, and reverting links was pretty much a spur of the moment thought. I kind of disagree with you regarding the soundtrack, though, as I find the soundtrack to be important information about the game, at least when the songs are licensed. I'm guessing a further discussion is required on this, but that should be tackled on the THP8 talk page. --GVOLTT How's my editing?\My contribs 15:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

RE: Regarding Game Revolution.
Thanks for the clarification, then on what an SPA is.

I hate to point out my own opinions on the matter though, but Game Revolution is a smaller site and does not get as much traffic as the big four you mentioned, but it is among the most respected review sites out there because of their grading system. I felt that, plus the fact that it's the oldest website on the internet related to video game reviews, would make the site a viable candidate along with the big four, or at the very least a special mention of some sort.

Plus, with the recent scandals that Gamespot and 1UP have had, I am unsure if the most credible sites are those four websites.

But that's just my two cents.(Heli89 (talk) 18:57, 15 December 2008 (UTC)).

No problem.
That makes my job easier. Steakbuns (talk) 05:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Tomb Raider article tidy-ups
Hi. It's good to see some improvements on the Tomb Raider pages - many of the infoboxes were a bit unmanageable! However, you seem to have removed the Moby Games link from some pages, but kept it on others. Did you mean to delete them all, or keep them all? [ジャム] [ t -  c  ] 17:47, 24 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I've replied to your message on my talk page.  [ジャム] [ t  -  c  ] 19:27, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
I really appreciate the suggestions. I just disagree with one point. I think that the Japanese release dates would be notable as Japan is the second largest market for video games. I won't go back and add the ones you deleted but I will continue to add them to other articles. Bovineboy2008 (talk) 02:06, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
