[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Steal-the-bacon.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Steal-the-bacon.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 82.83.109.179 17:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Mythtfl98 header.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Mythtfl98 header.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My bad..
.. I just saw that you didn't have a welcome message so I sent one. Hey, I got mine after about a hundred edits. — Prodigenous Zee - 01:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please sign on talk pages
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! — Prodigenous Zee - 09:59, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Usually I do (The Elfoid 11:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Just a note...
When your writing remember to put album titles in italics and song titles in "quotation marks". Just a note :) — Prodigenous Zee - 01:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- And on the McBrain thing, I've found the review you were talking about. No problem now. — Prodigenous Zee - 01:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Paul Di'Anno
Yeah, sure. — Prodigenous Zee - 00:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Iron Maiden
I'm aware "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son" IS a concept album, which is mentioned in the official biography. But NOWHERE in there is a book mentioned, and I'll be re-reverting it again - www.songfacts.com isn't a reliable source, and I can't find mention of this Scott Orson Card book in the Dickinson interview you gave a link to (I'll inline cite the concept bit with the official bio, but the Card book has yet to be proved. Any interview quotes you have?). LuciferMorgan 19:34, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Myth II: Soulblighter Tournaments
I've nominated the article Myth II: Soulblighter Tournaments for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Myth II: Soulblighter Tournaments satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Myth II: Soulblighter Tournaments. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Myth II: Soulblighter Tournaments during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. Pascal.Tesson 20:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AfD note
I saw your note on the AfD page. One of the main points of AfD is to establish notability by 3rd-party, independent coverage of a topic. That excludes the MWC websites and Bungie, as they are self-references. Atomicgamer and IMG are 3rd party references, though weak. I hope in the future decent references to those, MacObserver, MacWorld, MacAddict, etc. are used in the Myth articles. (Once notability is established, the subject's own website may be used sparingly as a source, with fairly strong restrictions.)
Perhaps you should consider forming a "task force" under one of the video-game related projects to help improve the Myth articles in relation to Wiki standards? Gimmetrow 21:41, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
- One idea is to move most of the minor content to some miniWiki that can specialize on the game. If mything.org doesn't work, you might look into http://scratchpad.wikia.com Gimmetrow 22:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
It's been a while since the last AfD. What is your plan with Myth II: Soulblighter Tournaments? My hunch is that very few of these are notable outside the Myth world. The MWC article already mentions TFC2002. What if the MWC article had a section on "other notable tournaments" with a paragraph on (say) the oPoP series and a few other big tournaments? Then there would be a main Myth article, MWC and Story. I think the units would fit better as part of the Story article (ie, explain the origin of fetch within the Story), and all three articles could contain third-party references. I would like to see some more mention of the Myth game engine itself, and get these articles cleaned up. Gimmetrow 00:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
