[edit] Ryuusei No Rockman

I wanted it to stay Rockman...but you know, someone would have changed it to Megaman anyhow...so meh, whatever. -Sukecchi 19:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FF6 talk page deletion

Exactly what guideline was violated by announcing that the FF6 character articles were up for deletion on the Talk:Final Fantasy VI page? I just read the Guide to Articles for deletion and didn't see anything that would prevent such an act. BrianSmithson 03:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

No, it's not against guidelines, but deleting good-faith postings on talk pages is. Please don't do that again, LttP. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:08, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

It is against guidelines to attract voters who will obviously vote how you want, based on their affiliation with the articles. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:11, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

According to what policy and where? BrianSmithson 03:12, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I would think that spamming others with the intention of making the AfD go one way or the other would be understood as a large offense. Voting is an important process. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:15, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

There's a great difference between using meatpuppets to skew AFD and alerting interested Wikipedians. Mentioning AFDs on related talk pages and Wikiprojects is common practice, and not frowned upon. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:22, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, hardly qualifies as spam, in my opinion; most people don't monitor the AfD.But marking things as "against policy" when you only think they should be against policy is not good policy. Blanking comments from talk pages,however, is against guidelines. See Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes. BrianSmithson 03:25, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Like Piccolo, I was assuming bad faith, which is frowned upon in circumstances such as these, and I apologize for assuming such. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:49, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy VI character article AfDs

I really wish you had mentioned your concerns in the relevant talk pages (or at the Final Fantasy WikiProject talk page) before engaging in your little rampage. In one fell swoop, you've forced an issue I and others have been trying to avoid by gradually shifting information not appropriate for Wikipedia to other venues. You're absolutely right about Wikipedia guidelines, but your behavior here was, frankly, trollish. It would have been nice if you'd given those of us who have been working at these articles a chance to address your concerns before going nuclear on us. – Seancdaug 03:43, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

The AfD notices should not have been removed. Though I strongly question your methods, you clearly were not acting in bad faith, and the votes, once begun, should be allowed to run their course. You'll also note that I have not called you a "jerk," nor do I believe you to be one. That some people have been less kind is inevitable, though, considering the circumstances, your failure to even attempt a dialog, and the somewhat inexplicable way you've targetted the FF6 character articles while taking an entirely opposite position elsewhere. As I've said, I think your reasoning is right, but of my frustration is that you've turned what should have been a gradual, negotiated process into a bloodbath that now seems destined to have the exact opposite effect (by creating a backlash). I have been transwiking numerous Final Fantasy articles (albeit to a Final Fantasy-specific wiki], and not Wikibooks). If you'd taken the time to ask any active member of the WikiProject, you could have found this out, and avoided all this bad blood. – Seancdaug 04:12, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Star Wars.

I'm waiting for a decision on the Rfc and the mediation. Thank you. Copperchair 04:06, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I care for order and accuracy. Copperchair 04:17, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Unless you're God, a god or some otherworldly force, you have to respect who the fimmakers decided was important and the order of importance they gave to their characters, as viewed in the end credits, loser. Copperchair 06:37, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SW Template

See the star wars talk page. I have stated a very clear purpose for the template I want on the pages. I won't revert, if you're willing to discuss. The Wookieepedian 05:21, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I know, I know, and I respect that. I'm trying to get everyone to see what I mean on the talk page. The Wookieepedian 05:23, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

And I know what you mean, and I don't want to do that. But (grinds teeth), fine, I won't revert the star wars episode pages of the template you have on it, so this won't become an edit war. The Wookieepedian 05:28, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

You and User:The Wookieepedian are both skirting 3RR violations on Empire Strikes Back over this dispute. I've protected it (with the version in front of me; no endorsement implied). Argue about this at Talk:Star Wars#The debate over the correct templates instead of reverting please. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 05:34, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Arbitration against Copperchair

I've opened a request for arbitration against Copperchair, and I'd appreciate it if you could comment, as you're one of the users I've named as part of Party 2. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:50, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Final Fantasy WikiProject

A couple of things: I, personally, cannot say whether or not anyone involved in the project was responsible for the threats made against you, though I certainly hope they were not. I would, however, have hoped that the events of the past few days indicated the importance of assuming good faith and not exacerbating the situation by throwing around even more accusations. Also, please note that the project talk page is not the place for you to address your (real or imagined) complaints against individual members of the project, and while I again sympathize with the abuse you have received, the word "drivel" does not appear anywhere on our project pages, and your complaint would best be taken up with whomever it was who issued the comment.– Seancdaug 08:34, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Not "until"? I think you are suffering under a basic misapprehension of what a WikiProject is, and what it is responsible for. Even if the user who threatened you is a sockpuppet, and even if the user wearing the sock is a member of the project, there is nothing the project can do about it. Membership in a project is voluntary, and there's simply no mechanism through which the project can wield any responsibility over its members. We could strike the offending name from the membership list, but that means absolutely nothing: the user can still edit pages we oversee, and can just as easily re-add his or her name to the list. This needs to be taken up with an administrator, who would actually have the power to take punitive action. I'm willing to help (in whatever way I can) you resolve this issue, but please be careful in accusing potentially innocent users of wrongdoing. It is a violation of Wikipedia guidelines, and is likely to be seen as trolling (of which I am most emphatically not accusing you). – Seancdaug 08:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nintendo Wars vs. Famicom Wars vs. Advance Wars

Hey, what are we going to call this series? Nintendo Wars seems reasonable on its face, but I can't find anywhere where that name is actually used by Nintendo. (I did a Google test, and got only ~750 hits for "Nintendo Wars," whereas "Famicom Wars" gets tens of thousands of hits and "Advance Wars" gets millions.) Famicom Wars seems like a reasonable name for the entire series, as that's the name Nintendo uses In Japan even on some of the newer games (AW:DS = Famicom Wars DS: Something or another in Omega Land), but it's the Japanese name, and general style on Wikipedia is to favor the English-language names for things. Then again, I'm not entirely comfortable calling the pre-GBA games part of the "Advance Wars" series, for obvious reasons.

Any thoughts? I was thinking of kicking this over to WP:CVG, but I wanted to hear your thoughts first.

Incidentally, I nominated Category:Nintendo Wars characters and Category:Nintendo Wars villains for deletion, since they're pretty much depopulated. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:32, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

1. I suggest Famicom Wars, just like people would call Super Princess Peach and Yoshi games as Mario games.
2. 'Kay. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:34, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think I follow the logic in #1; I don't mean that the problem is that Famicom Wars isn't the name used for AW1&2, but my problem is that it's not the English-language name, and this is the English-language Wikipedia. Right now I can't make a convincing case on CFD to rename the relevant categories, for either name. I just know Nintendo Wars isn't right. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:45, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I mean that while they feature another label, Advance Wars would still be Famicom Wars. And sometimes, you have to make compromises, such as using Japanese boxart for Final Fantasy II, III, IV, V and VI. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:03, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Bad example; the FF Wikiproject is still kibitzing over what art to use for the infoboxes in those articles.

Anyway, I'll give this some thought. Thanks for the input. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 00:12, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Personal attacks.

No personal attacks have been made by me. If you continue to make false accusations I'll consider you a vandal and report you accordingly. Do not leave anymore messages on my talk page. This is your last warning. Ereinion 01:39, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Take a deep breath...

Link, a couple of things should be noted here:

• Referring to someone's writing as "drivel" has, in fact, never been a personal attack. The Wikipedia guidelines define a personal attack as, in essence, a derogatory comment directed at editors as opposed to content. While it is perfectly understandable that you feel slighted by the comment, it is unlikely to be an actionable offense.
• This is, from my perspective as a third party, being blown waayy out of proportion. Yes, Ereinion's comment was inappropriate and uncalled for. However, it was made only once, in an edit page summary, as far as I can tell. I do understand your annoyance, but I don't quite understand what you have to gain by prolonging the issue.

My honest suggestion would be to let the matter drop. There doesn't seem to be any good reason to drag things out any further, as I doubt you would be effective in getting Ereinion punished for his actions, and it seems equally unlikely that he will apologize for his actions. You have done nothing that would seriously qualify as vandalism, and I will leave a message for Ereinion restating what I have said to you, and advising him to not throw around the threat of vandal reporting lightly. If he continues to harrass you after you have let the matter drop, then you can revisit the matter and something can probably be done about it. I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I'm not sure there's anything else that can be done at this stage: speaking from experience, I really doubt that this level of complaint is going to be taken seriously by many administrators. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with, though. – Seancdaug 02:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Possibly, but I don't think it's going to have much of an effect, anyway. Since he was the one who made the comment, he probably won't care if you ask him to stop, and he probably hasn't done anything in clear violation of Wikipedia guidelines, so there's not really anything you can do other than to ask him. Not a fun situation to be in, I know.... – Seancdaug 02:55, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FAs by nominator

Hi - I noticed you updated Wikipedia:List of Wikipedians by featured article nominations a while ago and added Cat to your list. I auto-updated the list, and Cat dropped off again. Looking at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Featured log/August 2005, user:Toothpaste nominated this article. I certainly don't mean to imply you had nothing to do with this article, but I think keeping the list strictly by nominator is useful (makes it able to be regenerated automatically, and makes the criteria clear and unambiguous). -- Rick Block (talk) 17:23, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Oyaji

Why are you removing Wario et al from Category:Oyaji? Mario, Luigi, Wario and Bowser are so oyaji. They're almost quintessential examples—middle-aged or older, normal to chubby type, and they look superficially like anyone's daddy. Bowser alone is a staple of oyaji-kemono fusion fan art. - Gilgamesh 22:21, 27 October 2005 (UTC) Do you need me to show you all the gay and beefcake art sites that feature Bowser? - Gilgamesh 22:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, you made a good point about the Cowboy Bebop argument. Let's meet our points halfway, shall we? A brief mention of Bowser's popularity in fan material by fans young and old, without necessarily a mention of his sex symbol status. That kind of detail can be left in articles that address those issues, and can be found by encyclopedia readers interested enough in them to learn more. - Gilgamesh 04:28, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for arbitration accepted

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Copperchair has been accepted. Please place any evidence at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Copperchair/Evidence. Fred Bauder 19:37, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] FAHD/Requests

A suggestion for WP:FAHD/Requests so FAHDlist will work better:

1. List your request

   Add * [[WP:FAHD/Requests/PageName]] to the list of open requests below, where PageName is the name of the page you would like help with.

(SEWilco 04:40, 4 November 2005 (UTC))

[edit] VfD Closing

When I closed VfDs (haven't done that in months), I always erred on the side of caution; I admit I did some hastily. IMO it's better to mistakenly keep an article (instead of merging or deleting), as it can always be VfD'd again and deleted later, rather than mistakenly merging it (which can cause problems if the article is recreated) or deleting it (which has obvious problems). Sorry if I made a mistake in that case, though. – ugen64 01:11, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nintendogs

The names of the protagonists belong to the article. Their long description may not. See games like Street Fighter II, Advance Wars: Dual Strike, Final Fantasy VI... TV series and movies like Charmed, Lost, The Terminator... The list of dogs is necessary for the user to understand the differences between the games. And since the information is not long enough to need its own list, it fits in the article. Nowhere in the Wikipedia is not section says a list of protagonists should be left in a Wikibook. -- ReyBrujo 02:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

In case you didn't realize, in Nintendogs the dogs are the protagonists. Do you think, in example, the Charmed article would be useful saying "The series have a bunch of witches fighting devils." only? -- ReyBrujo 02:32, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Oh, my... that must be one of the worst arguments I have ever read. With it, no game article should have information about characters because they are just the same character with slight modifications. I will call for a survey to solve that conflict. Obviously, you see no reason except yours, something I already realized when you wanted to delete all FFVI character articles because the AW:DS ones were being deleted. -- ReyBrujo 03:32, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Enough. ALttP had a good-faith change of heart on how characters should be handled on Wikipedia, and this is being personalized needlessly. Please carry on this conversation at Talk:Nintendogs, rather than in the form of attacks on each other on user talk pages. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 03:54, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fonda

This article is already featured. See my comments on the new FAC page, but what exactly do you think this is doing? An article, once featured, needn't go up before FAC again. Please explain in the FAC. Thanks. Harro5 00:42, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

According to your comments on Wikipedia:Peer review/The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, it appears as though you are (or "were") planning on elevating Majora's Mask to featured article status. Regardless whether you have abandoned this action or not, I will be submitting it to Wikipedia:Featured article candidates shortly. —Hollow Wilerding 14:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image placement vote

Hello, I'm MegamanZero, and I've gotten into a conflict with the Orgy over his needless image placement and excessive quotes on the Iori Yagami page. So, I've decided to hold a vote (like you did on the Ryu charaacter page) concerning which version should be used. The vote can be found here. Please vote your opinion on the matter and thanks for your time! -MegamanZero 17:57, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

hey. I just noticed the FAC issues with The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. What happened to cause that commotion. I'm still unclear about that?--ZeWrestler ^Talk 19:49, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Check it out here and here. --Pagrashtak 00:58, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable Iguanas?

I'm curious, now. (Normally, I wouldn't ask these sorts of questions, but I'm intrigued.) What is it you're referring to? The only notable reptiles I can think of that don't really exist are Leon Powalski from Star Fox Assault and the Geico Gecko. Or is this an inside joke. Cernen 09:30, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use and userpages.

Hi, I notice you have a number of fair use images on your userpage (48 by this count). Because displaying fair use images on userpages is not allowed per Wikipedia policy (see Wikipedia:Fair use#Fair use policy), I'll have to ask you to please remove these images ASAP. It is ok to link to fair use images (by typing [[:Image:... instead of [[Image: (note the leading colon (:)), but not displaying them inline on userpages (or user subpages). You can display free licensed images, just not the fair use ones. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 20:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article Help Desk/Requests

Hi,

I put a request for help to get an article (Chew Valley Lake) onto Wikipedia:Featured Article Help Desk/Requests - does that mean that everyone thinks it's already great & doesn't need any improvement or that no one has looked at the requests yet & I just need to be more patient? Rod 16:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Mario Character

I disagree entirely. He maybe just a doctor form of Mario, but their stories and there games are completely different. Although there are many similarities, there are still well enough differences to give them different articles. -Nintendonien 00:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

You used the worst example possible. They are both referred to as Wario and their stories are almost exactly the same which makes them the same person. While if you refer to the story of Dr. Mario 64 it is completely different to what Mario does. And if they were the same character then how come they are different characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee? -Nintendonien 01:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Young Link=Link just like Baby Mario=Mario. Age differences still count as the same character even though they look and act differently (that is why Young Link is in Super Smash Bros. Melee). Dr. Mario is not Mario, but a spin-off of Mario. -Nintendonien 01:51, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually now that I think about it it doesn't need it's own article (since it is only an alternate-personality), but it needs a section in the Mario article. -Nintendonien 02:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I would agree with Nintendonien but if you would like to merge them you would have to put in a very large section in the mario article.{Purpleflyinghippo 23:44, 2 March 2006 (UTC)}

Punch-Out!! • Super Punch-Out!! • Arm Wrestling • Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! • Super Punch-Out!! (SNES) Boxers

I dont these articles necessarily need to be deleted, but they do need to be heavily fixed. The images on there suck, i feel like the content might be copy pasted (im not sure tho). Want to help fixing them up --larsinio ^{\----(poke)––(prod)----/} 14:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

These characters are non-notable and minor at best. I recomend merging into a list of some sort. -Zero^Talk 15:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Little mac is notable, as is King Hippo. Doc louis shoudl be merged into little mac. The others can be murged into one document.

I would say Bald Bull is notable, as he is considered one of the more well-known Punch-Out!! villains. But it's really debatable whether or not even Little Mac deserves an article. Maybe if a Punch-Out!! game is announced. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Super Huge & only getting bigger

Do you really think it is a good idea to merge the Super Sonic page with the Sonic the Hedgehog page? There are not small, especially Super Sonic, since this merging would've been more reasonable if you suggested it in early March of 2004. Lord Falcon 02:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gamecruft

Does this really need it's own WikiProject? Why not just start a discussion with WP:CVG and have that project define what is gamecruft or not (in addition to WP's policies and guidelines). If you start the discussion and try to move towards a resolution, you'll get one. I guess I don't see how this project can be an 'active one' after whatever the guideline is is decided upon. I guess I would need to know a little more of what you have in mind. K1Bond007 19:51, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to make a seperat ewikiproject, or perhaps just revive the cgv article imrpvoement drive nad make this as a primary mission. . Im somewhat maybe guilty of it myself: see Pentarou, an article i crafted based upon what happens in the games, but is organized in a particulary crufty way. --larsinio (poke)^(prod) 01:31, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I'll be happy to discuss the issue with others, although I'm not sure if any sort of conclusion can really be reached on what's gamecruft and what isn't in quite a few marginal cases. Please keep me informed. - RedWordSmith 04:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you Mario

Hi, thanks for your message. If we rated the notability of all memes against AYB, then pretty much none of them would be notable. A Google search for "Thank You Mario, but Our Princess is in another castle" yields 1,320 hits which, while not overly impressive, is enough for me. The other thing I think you have to ask is whether you could merge that page into Super Mario Bros. without losing any info, and I think the answer is no. I think the current page goes into more detail (and perhaps has the potential to expand) then could be reasonably merged into that page. However, I will hear your comments on this before I vote on that page's AfD. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. However, I'm still of the opinion that the subject is notable enough, and should be kept. Thanks again for your comments. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 20:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Animal Crossing

Hey Link, I noticed you put in a peer review last September mentioning that you wanted to promote the article in question to FA standard. While it seems that the article has slightly fallen from grace (you have to admit, it reads link a fan guide ATM) I'd like to work with you on improving the article.

[edit] RfA

[edit] Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that your recent request for adminship failed to achieve consensus to promote, and has been closed. Please do not be discouraged, and please continue to make outstanding contributions to Wikipedia. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask.

Sorry. You know what Cubs fans say, "There's always next year..." Just live, learn, and improve.--The ikiroid (talk/parler/hablar/paroli/说/話) 15:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

At least it wasn't "removed a few days early due to overwhelming opposition" this time. In fact, there were more support votes than opposes. Coffee 16:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Please come back from your Wikibreak soon. Jedi6-(need help?) 04:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA / Fancruft

Hey, I hope you'll return soon, sorry your RfA wasn't succesful. If you continue the way you have been working you can certainly count on my support next time. You might want to have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Workshop, there's a section on Fancruft that you could probably help expand.
