Question
You seem to know alot about Bloodrayne other than me. So answer me this question:



would this be the beta version of Rayne? I was planning on add info from this. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 02:46, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

another question: you added "....although that has been denied multiple times by the TRI representatives when discussed on bloodrayne.co.uk forums" (Durham red). Did you ever see this disscussion? If you have, could you give me the link? I could use that has a citation. THROUGH FIRE, JUSTICE IS SERVED! 22:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Quick note: Warnings
Hi there. Thanks a bajillion for helping out on reverting vandalism. You're doing a great job, especially for just having recently joined =). I only have one picky complaint, though.  When you're adding warnings to user pages, please make sure to add the article name for which you're warning as well.  That way, anyone else who comes along after you to see how badly a particular user has been vandalizing versus how much they've been warned (so that an admin can then block them if they're persistent), we'll know what the warning is talking about.  Anyway, hope that makes sense, and sorry for griping. :P  Thanks again, and keep up the great work.  Cheers =)  -- koder  12:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

counter vandalism
Hi,

I noticed you worked to revert vandalism earlier today, and commented on 72.1.206.143. While we all get the urge, keep in mind WP:DIV. Keep fighting the good fight. :) PStrait 16:36, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting my user page from the vandalism of Renlok. I have reported him to AIV and will be monitoring his every edit until he gets blocked. Keep up the good work. Useight 08:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Your message
Thanks for the heads up, You should also mention that to the Firefox people in case there's an issue with long edit fields. I used TWINKLE to tag, so that might need looking at as well. :) Sfan00 IMG 13:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome not, i noticed you deleted some of the work i added to articles, i will now ask you not to do that, as i am busy and i will return later to cite references. Also i do think that it was right for you to delete the infomation i added to last cannibal world, as it was all true, thank you!!!!!

Question
Hi, I'm new to Wikipedia, so apologies if I'm posting this in the incorrect place. I just received a notice when creating the basics of a page for the Irish rock band catoan saying that the page is marked for speedy deletion due to the act not being of notability. The only reason why I began to form the page was because the act had been marked by Wikipedia for requested information: please see [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/music/Performers_and_bands]Efterlots 10:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)efterlotsEfterlots 10:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, yes, I understand that. catoan meet the first of these. It's just a matter of entering the verified info.

"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:

1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable."

Sure. It may take me a while to work out how to do that, but it will all be verifiable.

hi there again, I've added in links to articles and interviews for now but will try to bulk out the written info with references overt he next while. Is this enough to prevent it being deleted for now? thanks.

Why you gotta hate???

Thanks for your comment. If he does it again, I'll do as you suggest and just report him. I was waiting on him to do something clearly incivil or vandalistic before reporting him. Thanks for reporting him to WP:UAA. Parsecboy 16:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Abandonia
A template has been added to the article Abandonia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with db-author.  Whispe ring  13:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Abandonia AfD
I gotta be honest, when I posted an AfD for this, I half expected a horde of forum-trolls to flood things going "HOW DAR U SAI TIS SITE DELETE!!! IS NOTIBLE!". Well, maybe not that bad, but at least a bunch of people who think their site is the most significant thing in the world, and THAT should be enough to get an article. Instead, you and others from the site came with with a well-reasoned argument against deletion. You addressed the issues with sourcing, and worked out a solution that makes everyone happy. It was even very civil over on your own forums (yes, I checked), where I half expected to see death threats against me for daring to do this. I appreciate the way this was handled. Your site and it's visitors have gathered my respect, and if you need anything, help with the article, whatever, don't hesitate to ask. --UsaSatsui 20:41, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

for the vandalism revert! :) Larklight (talk) 20:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I have reported you to wikipedia for continual vandalism and harassment as per what you've done on my userpage of my username BetterThanMe and under the user page of my IP address. 67.53.130.69 (talk) 11:32, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Canuck/Canucks
The official name of the team is plural: Canucks. A team member can be correctly described as "a Canuck", but to refer to them as "a Canuck player" is grammatically incorrect. Just like "Islander player" "Flame player" or "Leaf player" are also incorrect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.227.185 (talk) 10:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Do not delete talk page content
I noticed at Talk:DOSBox you have been deleting discussions. Though this possibly may have been in good faith, it is improper; old discussions should be archived, not deleted. Ham Pastrami (talk) 21:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: DOSBox vs FreeDOS
Even though one is an operating system, and the other is an emulator that allows API for DOS programs to run regardless of operating system or processor; I figured their purposes of use were similar enough to "compete". --Roadstaa (talk) 17:15, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Abandonia title page screen shot.jpg and Image:AR-screenie.png
Okay, I need a little bit of help here, and I can't get onto the Abandonia forums. Someone has tagged the Abandonia screenshot image for deletion because it was uploaded as a copyrighted image, and needs a rationale for fair use, but does not have one. I can easily do that, but I think the intention was to release the screenshot freely. If that's the case, the owner of the copyright (which would be the person who designed Abandonia's front page), can give permission under a free license or enter it into public domain. If that can be done, let me know, plus the contact of that person if it needs to be verified. If it can't. well, it's still fair use, so I can fix it either way, but free images are better.

The same thing needs to be done with the AR screenshot. The uploader probably does not have the rights to the image, so it's probably not public domain (therefore tagged improperly). --UsaSatsui (talk) 22:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I fixed your fair-use rationale so it...well, appears. And, absent permission from the owner of the copyright, I'm assuming that the AR image isn't public domain, so I will add the same tag to that image as well.  Since Kosta Krath still owns the site (what's copyrighted is the design, which I assume is his), only he can release it under a free license or into the public domain (the latter is probably not a good idea).  If he gives permission to use the image, which i assume would be a technicality if he can be reached, it should be included in the non-free image rationale.  --UsaSatsui (talk) 18:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Mark Pinsky
Hello, I am a major assistant to Dr. Mark Pinsky. He has corrected errors on his biography. Why did you undo his corrections? You hide behind a pseudonym. Please contact Dr. Mark Piinsky of Northwestern U. directly. He will be angry and annoyed with you because he has limited time for nonsense, yet he wants his bio to be correct. Email him at Mark Pinsky  to confirm that he himself made the corrections. I am his assistant, to save him time. He will be annoyed that you reversed his own corrections about his own career and his own life. But we need accuracy on Wikipedia, unless you like to play tricks. 71.242.105.50 (talk) 14:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you obviously ignored my message on your User Talk page, I'm cross-posting it here.
 * Point one: You claim to be his assistant. No proof to that claim has been provided. Over the internet, everyone can claim to be anyone. Wikipedia had a fair share of vandals claiming to be someone important/their relative/employee/etc. Vide User:The_Fifth_Horseman/Notes for information on a vandal who claimed to be the subject of the article he defaced.
 * Point two: You also hide behind a pseudonym. Yours, however, implies an assertion of authority on subject matter. I am inclined to suspect violation of WP:IU.
 * Point three: The article contains no references for the present content, but you have none for the modifications introduced in your edits either. Please refer to WP:V and WP:OR.
 * Point four: Emailing him would serve no purpose, as contents of that communication will not be verifiable for other Wikipedians. If you or Dr. Pinsky have access to the university's server or can contact a person who does, please publish the list of neccesary factual corrections there. That should satisfy the requirements of WP:V and at the same time be sufficient proof as to your identity as his assistant.
 * --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 15:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, read these: WP:RS, WP:BLP, WP:OR. --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 07:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Please answer us. Who are you? Why do you want to give misinformation about Dr. Mark Pinsky? He is quite disturbed by this. Please respond. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.105.50 (talk) 17:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC) Please read what I told you on your User Talk page.
 * Point one. My personal details are my business. I am not required to give them out to anyone, especially not on a publicly accessible website (incidentally, read WP:PRIVACY). I've been subject to harrassment before with the attacker having as little as little as a single picture of my person they've dug up elsewhere. I have absolutely no wish to have to deal with that sort of shit again.
 * Point two. It is not my intent to add misinformation, but you make changes to the information already present... with NO sources provided that reference your modifications as valid.
 * Point three: If your information was valid... there should be referencible sources to back it, shouldn't there? And you should have been able to provide them.
 * Some vandals make minor modifications they claim to be corrections, while in fact what they're doing is deliberately intorducing false information. Your unsubstantiated assertion of authority is to me like a red flag screaming "Watch out!"
 * --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 07:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, who are you? Dr. Pinsky wants to know why you are interfering with his biography and his Pinsky Phenomenon. What is your email address? Why are you hiding? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.105.50 (talk) 16:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Point one: already explained.
 * Point two: What in blazes is a "Pinsky Phenomenon", and what makes you think I'm interfering with it?
 * Point three: I'm not giving it in public. You can use Special:EmailUser/The_Fifth_Horseman to e-mail me if you really feel it neccesary.
 * Point four: I'm not hiding. If you mean not revealing my full name and adress... what should I do this for? To be stalked by every goddamn psycho who sees my page on Wikipedia? Thank you, I'll pass.
 * --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 07:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Who are you, hiding behind a pseudonym? What is your email address? What do you have against Dr. Mark Pinsky? He knows his own information, yet you keep changing it, and he is not pleased. Dr. Mark Pinsky wants to know. Mark Pinsky  is his email address; what is yours? Why are you hiding? What is your email address? Contact Dr. Pinsky, but expect him to be annoyed, since he is very busy, co-authoring a book, and disturbed because you are questioning his own words and dates. Please contact Dr. Mark Pinsky. His email is Mark Pinsky . You do not believe that I am his assistant, so contact him directly. Please expect that he will be annoyed with you, because he is a very busy mathematician, educator, and author. But he insists that his biography be accurate. Why do you hide behind a pseudonym? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.242.105.50 (talk • contribs)
 * Point one: Already explained before.
 * Point two: Already explained. You don't need to know it to e-mail me through Wikipedia.
 * Point three: Until yesterday, never heard of him.
 * Point four: I'm not arguing he does. I have no reason to believe you do, especially with your unsubstantiated claims of being an authority on the matter.
 * Point five: Already explained. I'm not giving it out in public.
 * Point six: I don't have anything to hide save my personal safety.
 * Point seven: Adressed before.
 * Point eight: As I said before, this will not do jack for proving your identity to other Wikipedians who may undo your edits or report you to administration for a possible violation of username policy. And will not do jack for providing reliable, verifiable proof for the changes you made.
 * Point nine: In case you haven't noticed, very few people don't use pseudonyms on the Internet. FYI, I am consequently using this one (or derivatives if the original is not possible: the_fifth_horseman, fifth_horseman, 5thhorseman etc) on every internet forum or registration-requiring site I attend. I'm not hiding, but I make a point of maintaining my privacy. Understood?

Abandonia links
I have speeded-deleted Template:Abandonia and am reverting your additions of the template to Wikipedia articles. Do not add such material to the encyclopedia again. Nandesuka (talk) 13:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * shrug* If that's how you want it. The balance is restored either way, and since the primary cause for the template's creation does not exist anymore, there is no reason for me to recreate it. --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 14:55, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. Nandesuka (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You believe I was trying to make a point? (insert a very long laugh here)
 * * 1. I noticed that HOTU had its specific external link template and that Abandonia did not.
 * * 2. In my opinion the fact that HOTU had such a template warranted existence of one for Abandonia. Therefore I created one.
 * * 3. I proceeded to use the template to add links to external link sections of Wikipedia entries of games which had corresponding entries on Abandonia.
 * * 4. This template along with the HOTU one was nominated for deletion - which I opposed - but instead of allowing a consensus to be reached on the matter, you made an arbitrary decision to speedy delete both.
 * Either both templates belonged on Wikipedia or both didn't. If both were allowed to stay, it would be every jot the same for me as when both were deleted. --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 16:41, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Out of interest, did you think to check whether there was obvious copyright violation on behalf of Abandonia in the cases where you added the template? It doesn't appear that you did, based on a random examination of articles whose copyright holders are still very much in business (in one form or another), Blizzard and Psygnosis (now owned by SCEE) in particular. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 08:39, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't specifically check - a number of the links (like the ones to the entries on the X-Com series, Another World and Monkey Island series) did not contain downloads of the actual games to begin with.
 * By the way: You asked why we haven't removed Lost Vikings despite Blizzard re-releasing it. The re-release was only for handheld consoles. If the re-release was published for PC systems, the download would be removed, like it was done in the case of - say - Another World. --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 09:56, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * We? Are you an affiliate of the site? (and anyway, given that the characters themselves are Blizzard's IP, I severely doubt that they're okay with people distributing games containing them - not least when the games themselves are &copy; Blizzard Entertainment.) Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 10:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, "we". ^_^ --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 10:53, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * In that case, what made you think that it was appropriate to create a template which directs traffic to a site you are affiliated with, and then rapidly add it to a hundred articles? Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:12, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The fact there was one for HOTU. --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 12:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Right. Well, in future, please don't add promotional links to sites you're affiliated with articles just because other ones exist either, then. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:23, 17 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay. --The Fifth Horseman (talk) 12:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hotu links
Erm, Would you mind explaining why you have removed HotU links?

In some cases you appear to have removed links that were deemed acceptable because the software concerned had been shown to be 'freeware', which HotU had obtained permission, or links where there wasn't anything actually hosted at HotU.

I am assuming there has been a discussion on this? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:35, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Cassern S. Goto


The article Cassern S. Goto has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Having written some licensed products as a contract writer for a production company without any notable success and no new material in fifteen years, this contract writer does not merit a wikipedia entry."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
