Edits on Neo Roanoke
I want to talk about Neo Roanoke, a fictional character from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Seeing that Neo is Mu La Flaga himself (revealed later on), I can only wonder about the reason that you insist to redirect it to List of Gundam SEED characters instead. --Blackhawk charlie2003 14:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, ! Thank you for reverting vandalism to Wikipedia. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Wikipedia, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Wavemaster447 03:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

---Correction: I used the wrong template - sorry. What I meant to ask is that when you warn vandals, please do not give them all 4 warnings in the same edit. Also, please sign your name after the warnings. Happy reverting! --Wavemaster447 01:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Can you tell me why you got rid os the chunk of text in the GSD article reffering to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Club Yonkoma?--Tempest115 13:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling video games
In this modification, note that we need to duplicate the reference. The Disney sales must point to the archived version, because that is where the data is, while all the others must point to the current one. If we mix both references in one, it means we are using the archive for all of them, which is not true. Cheers! -- ReyBrujo 02:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, I have suggested a modification to the cite web template to add a parameter for dead references. Hopefully that will prevent having both a reference and a fact tag in the reference. -- ReyBrujo 02:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Historico-medical categories?
Hi, I noted that you tagged a pile of categories beginning with "Historico-medical" for deletion as misnamed. I'm not contesting the tags (in fact, it meets CSD C2), but I'd appreciate it if you would tell me the new name(s) for the categories to be renamed, so that I can rename the categories rather than merely deleting them. Thanks, Nihiltres ( t .l ) 14:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

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

Case Closed
Please do not categorize it as detective fiction. This category is for the pages relevant to the genre as a whole (subgenres, etc). All particular instances (novels, stories, cartoons, anime, etc) are better categorized according to their media, thus Case Closed is in Category:Mystery anime and manga. Otherwise the category becomes unmanageable and useless. Thank you. Henry Merrivale 02:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling handheld video games
What you were doing was redirecting the article to the list page, so if anyone tried to click on the link, they'd just go right back to the list page. You literally had it linked to the page that was the link. HalfShadow 00:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Copula tense and discontinued consoles
I've noticed you making reversions like this and this with the edit summary "all the other discontinued console articles uses 'was'". Have you ever checked that assertion? In fact, of the consoles listed on Template:Dedicated video game consoles, only Vectrex, NES, and SNES state "was a video game console" rather than "is a video game console". A few others have some variation on "was X's nth video game console", which is a statement of status rather than a simple category membership.

I don't particularly care whether you go through and change all the other articles to "was", or change the three to "is", or bring up the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games to get a wider consensus than just yourself. But please stop making false claims. Thank you. Anomie 11:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

What is your problem? It is true, why did you erased that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.193.117.66 (talk) 22:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, your edit summary was confusing and seemed to contradict with your edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super_Mario_64&diff=prev&oldid=166846565, and what do you mean by "it is the most downloadable title in the Virtual Console"? If by that you mean Super Mario 64 is the most downloaded title on the Virtual Console, then cite your source since it needs to be verified before being included. --Silver Edge 00:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Death Note "Forum"
Hi. I undid your edit to the talk page and posted a short response instead which politely discouraged turning the talk page into a discussion forum. I think we should be careful not to bite the newbies. I'm not sure this is what you had in mind, but I think this better handles the situation. Drumpler 08:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed that section because based on Talk page guidelines: "Keep discussions on the topic of how to improve the associated article. Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal." I probably should of been more specific in my edit summary. --Silver Edge 02:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

StarCraft series
You've got a point there, I adapted that part from the introduction of StarCraft, so it will need changing there as well. SC is certainly ranked up near the top of bestselling PC games, but it does need a reliable source for an exact statement of rank. How about the wording "one of the best selling PC games of all time", that acknowledges that its exact position is in flux, but still maintains that its in the top bunch. -- Sabre 11:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

December, 2007
Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 01:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling video game franchises
Hey, noticed your inuse tag while making a big change. Want to finish checking all the references, updating the accessdate for them, and transforming cite web to cite press release where necessary? I can continue adding some new franchise values I have around, all with between 5m and 9m units. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 03:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, took the franchise list to do that. Do you want to convert the full list of video games instead from one template to the other? -- ReyBrujo (talk) 03:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, you can go top to bottom, and once I finish I can work bottom to top so that we don't clash. Put an inuse-section tag at the section you are working, and a underconstruction at the top of the article. That should prevent edit conflicts. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 04:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Regarding this edit, note that I chose those names because they were the ones found in List of Famicom games and the chronological lists, Chronological list of Famicom games, 1983-1988 and Chronological list of Famicom games, 1989-1994. If you plan on changing those names, please also change the ones in the lists so that whenever an article is created, all the lists point to the same one. Cheers! -- ReyBrujo (talk) 07:43, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Your changes to StarCraft II
Please actually read the changes that were made before you revert them and ask for a citation. The change in question was just a rewording that was needed because a new year has arrived.

The NES Files is not link spam
Hello. Why is The NES Files (www.nesfiles.com) considered link spam? It links to quality NES manuals(PDF scans that took hundreds of man hours to scan one by one!) for download-- providing quality content to users of Wikipedia. I have tried linking for individual games as well and these are removed as well, although other similar links remain(neshq.com, mobygames, etc.). Please allow my quality non-spam links or delete all other external links as well. Consistency is all I ask for. Thank you.

Dkalweit (talk) 21:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)dkalweit

Re: The NES Files is not link spam
I reverted your addition of the nesfiles.com link as per Conflict of interest, WP:External links, and WP:Spam, since adding nesfiles.com links to the "External links" section of articles are the only substantial edits you have made up to that point, causing me to believe you have a conflict of interest; although, I will be more than happy to be proven wrong. Also please do not mark edits as minor when they are not, based on Help:Minor edit. Happy editing! --Silver Edge (talk) 11:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Response
The Minor edit page clearly says adding links qualifies as a 'minor edit'. Maybe this page is unclear about external links.

I fail to see how adding linked quality content that the target user of the page will be interested in(manuals for the games on the system; or the specific game manual on appropriate pages) is link spam-- regardless if anything else was added to the page itself. My quality addition to Wikipedia is links to the manually scanned PDF manuals of the games. Most sites only offer inferior text versions of the manuals. Thinking about it from the end-user perspective, I can't see how your position on this specific situation helps them.

Gundam Seed SE
Since you seem to be Gundam Seed's main editor, I'll ask here. For the special editions, Bandai has been releasing them as Movies. Do you think we should rename the articles to "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED: Movie" (the Destiny SE as well) to match what Bandai is calling it? Also, thanks for copy editing my stuff. Rezumop (talk) 03:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I believe there was no Aussie or UK release because there's nothing on their website. The name on the Japanese Sunrise site is "Special Edition" but Bandai named it "Movie". Rezumop (talk) 07:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Special Edition is the official title seen here. 機動戦士ガンダムSEED スペシャルエディション romanized is Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED Supesharu Edishon. I guess Bandai changed it to match the name of the original Gundam movie. Rezumop (talk) 08:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Edits on Durandal article
I'm not sure what sources you are looking for on the Durandal's politics section. You add a tag that there are no sources, and then proceed to delete sources posted in the section. This puzzles me because the source is NOT a wiki but the quote IN the wiki which is in fact directly from the series. So, the source is actually the series itself.

The series shows Durandal looking looking at the Destroy in either Phase 27 or Phase 28. So, I'm removing the tag until some sort of rationalization is provided. I did add one source though, but I'm sure you'll delete that one too since it isn't 'official' :P

I mean by its very nature a lot of this stuff CAN'T have a source because there isn't much official documentation provided on characters like Durandal. Therefore, I think simply referring to the series is itself sufficient. 69.243.158.192 (talk) 10:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

2nd gen N-Gage specification
You have recently reverted one of my edits on the N-Gage page stating the source I provided isn't "official enough". In such a case - can this be considered an official source? It states that N-Gage is a gaming service. Further in the article it mentions the word "platform". Also the dispute whether the new N-Gage games are considered mobile games or handheld game console games is present. I myself however would classify the new N-Gage closer to mobile game market than to handheld game console market since this time N-Gage isn't a dedicated device but more of a service similar to Xbox Live. Speaking of Xbox Live: the new N-Gage in combination with it's online component - the N-Gage Arena - can be considered akin to the likes of Playstation Network or the mentioned Xbox Live because of it's nature. --IJK_Principle (talk) 14:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Well first of all, I'm not the one that moved PlayStation Portable Slim and Lite to PlayStation Portable Slim and Light., so please assume good faith.

 * I was the on who misspelled 'lite' and ended the title with a full stop. I was reverting the previous vandalism to the title, and the correct original title wasn't available for reference within the page so I retyped the title. My mistakes were not deliberate vandalism.

3RR
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute 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. —Locke Cole • t • c 21:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Undoing edits on Lunamaria and Shinn
With all my respect, could you please provide me with more details for your reasons in this subject? from my side I could put forward all my arguments. It could fall into NOR policy (of course, as character reasons could not be cited as 'fact' unless they themselves clearly put it forward), but as it is clear psycholodgical conclusion - I am not sure how much of research is here?

OK, let's try to do it together: if we'll add only that fact that Lunamaria is far less infantile than two other girls Shin tried to protect - will it be acceptable? If we'll qoute, that even returning from being uncoscious on the Moon he still address to Stellar before Luna? If we'll say that Luna's motion to Shinn is still looking quite strange, even with blaming Logos?

And what I would argue in any way with acceptability of referral to NPOV policy here. As you can see - I did not say anything like that Shinn is stubborn, or whatever. (You could not even know my true views on him, Luna, or othe caracters). His idefix on protection is shown quite clear and out of doubts: he justifies _all_ his actions with this word. Well, if it is again the Original Research... isn't it obvious? All I want to add is at least show, that their affection is looking quite strange for many people and tried to help them to understand the reasons. OK, maybe presenting reasons itself is not acceptable as we could not cite it from any other more reliable source.

Can we try to make this subject clear and according to policies together? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gellemar (talk • contribs) 01:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Recently, I have been doing some editing on the Summon Night: Twin Age page. It would appear that you have tagged some of my character descriptions with an unwikipedialike tag for saying they present information which would have been better suited to a game guide. What was your reason for doing this, and how can I fix it?Emma Hordika (talk) 13:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Grand Theft Auto 4 & Prince of Persia Edits
I did not change these links, if you'd look at the history of them you'll see that I was the first person to post the information on that page as well as the source, which is reliable. There's proof for each one, so I don't get why you consider it unreliable. I just don't think it's fair that I can come on here, post something original and worthwhile, include a reliable source, and keep having my links changed around. There's no reason for it. If I'm the first person to post it and include a source with proof, that should be enough to make sure that my entry doesn't get changed. Google 'grand theft auto 4 ps3 downloadable content'. What's the first thing to pop up? Type in 'grand theft auto 4 multiplayer ranks' what's the first thing to pop up? I'd appreciate it if you changed everything back to it's original state.Blazedgoldfish69 (talk) 02:44, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Wii Fit
In general, a video game article should use the official release date and not the in-store date, if two separate dates are announced.

Noticed the term "In general", this means that exceptions do exist. Wii Fit will ONLY be available at the Nintendo World Store in NY, leaving the rest of NA waiting for the 21th. If that's not part of the exception, I don't know what is.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Weapons of SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault
Please be sure to also follow the following aspect of the AfD instructions: "it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion. Also consider notifying WikiProjects listed on the discussion page.  Do not notify bot accounts or people who have made only insignificant 'minor' edits.  To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the article and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter. For your convenience, you may use Article title ~ (for creators who are totally new users), Article title ~ (for creators), or Article title ~ (for contributors or established users). You can determine the main contributors of the articles by entering the page name at Wikipedia Page History Statistics."  I don't believe you have yet notified the article's creator or main contributors and therefore encourage you to do so. Specifically, you should notify User:Crash Underride.

wrong sources
On the COD:4 article, I reverted your recent changes. You are citing things in the MOS that do not exist, in order to move PS3 to the front. That separates the order of the list from Console Console, PC to Console, PC, Console, something that does not make much sense. As well, you changed steam to download, which is not accurate, since steam is not only a download platform but a content playing platform, and is one of the few exclusive downloadable content sites for COD:4. Also, you added a failed verification tag to something that was verified. This article is a featured article, meaning its some of the best content on Wikipedia. As such, you should not make significant changes like that without discussion first on the talk page. Thanks. &rArr;  SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  17:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Reverted edits at TFC
Hey, I noticed you reverted the legacy and reception over at TFC.

49.1 versus 49.10
Regarding this edit, I think the zero should go back in. 49.1 implies that the true number is anywhere from 49.05 to 49.15 before rounding, while 49.10 implies a narrower range of 49.095–49.105. The source has the precision to support the latter, and it matches precision with the 23.35 and 61.91 taken from the same source. BTW, good catch on the US/Americas issue.

After numerous references, and actually a simple search conducted on my own also. The information that you seem to want to censor out is legit. I'd recommend performing a little research on your own, before capriciously censoring out information which is relevant and verifiable.

The PSX (DVR) should be reverted or redirect to PSX.

 * I have reverted the recent attempt by User:Ciao 90 to make this move by cut-and-paste. I realise that there are two opinions on this matter, but if you want to treat PSX (DVR) as the dominant meaning of PSX (a set of 3 initials which has several other meanings), then please suggest it in Requested moves. I know that the makers of this videogame console tradenamed it "PSX", and not "PSX (Video game console)" or similar, but when the same name or set of initials means more than one thing, need to append a disambiguator in round brackets arises. Wikipedia has dozens of thousands of article names with bracketed disambiguators appended to the item described's correct name. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Removal of information from Athena Chu
Thanks for your work on editing the Athena Chu article. Regarding your deletion of a few sentences plagiarized from http://www.lovehkfilm.com/people/chu_athena.htm, are you sure that that information was stolen from the external site and not vice versa? A lot of websites copy text from Wikipedia articles for their descriptions, and there have been times in the past that I frantically removed information from an article thinking it was plagiarized from somewhere, only to realize later that it was actually the other way around. I checked the article history, and this version of the article has the text in the exact same form as what's on the lovehkfilm.com link, which implies that the external link could have taken text from a version back then and the Wikipedia article has since changed (which would explain the slight difference between the external version and this article); I checked the page source for the lovehkfilm.com page and couldn't find any hints about the date that was written, but I did see that it was most recently modified in March, which is also the date of the earlier version of the WP article I linked to above. I personally don't know anything about lovehkfilm.com or how they write their articles, I'm just checking. &mdash;Politizer( talk • contribs ) 22:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I think you're right; I hadn't even noticed that bit at the end. The plagiarized was first added in August 2006 (this edit), so it was definitely on lovehkfilm.com first.  I also just noticed in the article history that it was actually tagged for speedy deletion in December 2006 for copyright violation (this edit)...apparently someone removed all the plagiarized content, got the speedy removed, and then put it back in.  Anyway, thanks for noticing that and taking the time to correct it!
 * Also, in the meantime, I have somewhat rewritten the bio section, mostly using the information from the lovehkfilms.com article (it just happens to be the only thing I've really ever read on Athena Chu) but not stealing their wording. Since now we know that it was on that website first, that means I can actually cite them...it's obviously not the best source around but for now it should be better than nothing.
 * Thanks again for your help and good observations! &mdash;Politizer( talk • contribs ) 23:50, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Starsiege:Tribes Article, Tribes101.com External Link
If you would like to remove the Tribes101.com external link on the Starsiege:Tribes article, please provide your reasons before doing so. It is not linkspam nor disallowed in the video game external link guidelines.

It is an ever-growing article and video tutorial resource, about many aspects of the game such as strategy, gameplay and technical customizations. It also contains material about the game that is not displayed on any of the remaining linked sites. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daftie (talk • contribs) 00:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Way to warn me and then proceed to ban me without me doing anything in between. You have literally ruined the Starsiege:Tribes article by removing essential information. Of course the article doesn't have any sources to cite, all the websites for it are long gone, but the article contained information that is verifiable in the game's printed Manual, which you obviously never owned.

If you knew anything about the game, you'd leave be the information that is common knowledge so that one day, someone might benefit from it, but no, you just seem to be an edit & ban abuser.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cosmic Era Mobile Units


A tag has been placed on Cosmic Era Mobile Units, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

it is a redirect to a page deleted as a result of an AFD discussion.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Anthem of joy (talk) 20:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Nintendo DSi
This is a note to let the main editors of Nintendo DSi know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on April 5, 2014. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at present, please ask. You can view the TFA blurb at Today's featured article/April 5, 2014. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The Nintendo DSi is a dual-screen handheld game console released by Nintendo. It is the third iteration of the Nintendo DS, and its primary market rival is Sony's PlayStation Portable. Development of the DSi began in late 2006, and the handheld was first unveiled during a 2008 Nintendo conference in Tokyo. While the DSi's design is similar to that of the DS Lite, it features two digital cameras and also connects to an online store called the Nintendo DSi Shop. The DSi is approximately 12% shorter than the DS Lite when closed, but it is slightly wider and lighter. The DSi also has a larger RAM and faster CPU. All DS games are compatible with the DSi, except those that require the Game Boy Advance slot. Because of its absence, the DSi is not backward compatible with GBA Game Paks or with accessories that require the GBA slot, such as the DS Rumble Pak and the Guitar Hero: On Tour series guitar grip. The Nintendo DSi received generally positive reviews. Critics praised many of the console's changes to the DS Lite's aesthetics and functionality, but complained that it launched with insufficient exclusive software. A larger version of the DSi, the Nintendo DSi XL, was released in 2009. UcuchaBot (talk) 23:02, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
