[edit] Erm

You kind of reverted over a revert, which lead to your edit being vandalism. Just so you know. Logical2u_{Review me!} 19:32, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed it. When I wanted to revert the revert, you beat me to it. Stupid timing error. Thanks though ;- JackSparrow Ninja 19:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Japanese Virtual Console date Ocarina of Time

Hey TJ Spyke,

Since you were one of the ones that changed it, and have updated the whole VC Japan list, you might be able to answer this. I have understood that Zelda: Ocarina of Time was released on the Japanese Virtual Console on January 30, but several people change it to February 27. I can't find a reference for the latter though. Can you tell me what's the deal with the date now?

cheers JackSparrow Ninja 20:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

According to Nintendo's official website, it was released on February 27th: [1] (See the 2007/2/27 date). TJ Spyke 22:58, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LotL

What's there to look at?

1. A photo from Thehylia was taken and cropped out the watermark
2. A message that claimed the photo was stolen was deleted
3. The photo was then watermarked.

So is there something I'm missing? - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

1. A photo was taken by TSA, of a video screen on a big event, a photo anyone could take.
2. The Hylia claims the whole scene their own.
3. The Hylia makes a riot when someone else in the audience also makes a picture.
4. When presented with this, TSA/The Hylia does not respond.

JackSparrow Ninja 04:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

...Huh? It's the exact same image. Are you implying that LotL was there and, at the exact same instant in time, no sooner or later than Thehylia, took a picture from the exact same angle and distance from Miyamoto? It is a physical impossibility - Hell, let me just spell it out - it defies reality for this to possibly happen. At what point do you claim that LotL took this photo? - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a picture taken from a screen. You can't go and claim right to something shown on a screen. If it was their own picture of Miyamoto, then yes, they'd be correct, but they made a picture of a screen a few hundred people were looking at, a few hundred people were seeing the exact same thing. A picture from a screen, as too can be seen here, which was taken from the very side before they slimmed it down, is almost entirely irrelevant to angle.

As TSA's claims of plagiarism have only been ranging from vain to rediculous, there is no reason to think that he is the only one out of a few hundred people that made those sort of pictures. JackSparrow Ninja 04:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Are you quite sane? How can you look at the images and say that they are different images? What don't you understand about "physical impossibility"? It wasn't a "similar" picture - what LotL did was take thehylia's image and modified it and claimed it as their own. The fact that LotL tried to cover up the fact that they took the image and didn't credit who made the image shows either guilt or deceit. No one is saying "Because thehylia took this picture, any other pictures taken cannot be legal". But LotL didn't TAKE any pictures. They are the same picture. Unless, again, you are implying that some guy from LotL and TSA took two pictures in the same instant at the same spot. No matter how much you say that TSA's accusations are baseless, if we open an RfC, no one will say that this is a different picture taken from a different position and at a different time. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:06, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

It has nothing to do with "physical impossibility", and you are going past the reason it hasn't.

If it was a picture directly of Miyamoto, then yes, it would have been clear the two pictures couldn't be the same. But it wasn't a direct picture, I can see that right away. It is a picture of a screen, just like those big screens they have at E3.

If you've never encountered such a screen, I won't blame you for not knowing, but a picture of a big screen (like that) is exactly the same from 99% of the possible angles. Take a look at video footage from E3 shows, cut out the screen, and other then size, see if the angles are different. JackSparrow Ninja 07:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

So you say that the exact same moment in time, an LotL camera and a thehylia camera took a picture? You know, assuming good faith in evidence only goes so far. This is really just stretching it. Hell, do you have anything to show that LotL was even AT GDC? - A Link to the Past (talk) 07:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Centralized video game navbox discussion

You previously expressed a strongly-stated opinion about a video game navbox or all video game navboxes in general, or perhaps I clicked on your talk page by mistake.

[edit] Phantom hourglass Wifi

Hi InvaderSora,

Rather then making an edit war, please show me the article and tell me where in the article it says Nintendo Wi-Fi. I just quoted the multiplayer article for you, where it said no online.

JackSparrow Ninja 05:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I know you love edit wars and hate sources, but please listen to Sparrow's request. –Gunslinger47 06:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I think an Admin could be a bit more civil, no? Can i have some fishy crackers? 20:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Quoted from gamespot:

"He also filled in some gaps on the upcoming Nintendo DS version of the series--The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. There will be a Wi-Fi-enabled battle mode nicknamed Wi-Fi Hide and Seek. The game is a Pac-Man-style chase, with two players taking on red and blue versions of Link.

Players must pick up "force gems" to see the positions of the phantoms on the board. However, carrying these also has a penalty--they will slow the player down, making it easier for the player to be caught. The other controls the phantoms, using the stylus to move them around to chase Link and hopefully bring him down. Aonuma commented, "The more you play, the more you get to experience the other player's habits, so it's very addictive." "

Please do not revert it again. I now have proof. Look for the article titled (some japaneese name) reflects on Zelda".20:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by InvaderSora (talk • contribs) 21:54, 10 March 2007.

All it says in that part is Wi-Fi, not online Wi-Fi.

They specifically say "with no announced plans for online play". JackSparrow Ninja 21:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advice on Phantom Hourglass

Hey Scepia

GameInformer just confirmed that The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass will first be released in Japan, meaning before the 2007 holiday seasons (US date). However, I wasn't too sure how to format this with the Japanese date. I've just put

2007 (first region)

for now, but perhaps you have a better idea to format it.

JackSparrow Ninja 05:35, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, considering that release dates start with the 1st region on top (which is nearly always JP, NA, EUR / AUS), i am actually not sure that (first region) is needed. I will leave it, as a user may be confused, but i also noticed that the page uses flagicons. ^{I am going to change them to superscript}. Scepia 05:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

The reason I did this, is because Japan is always automatically put above, because usually it's first. However, this time it's confirmed, so that's why I was looking to making it clear it was confirmed to be first now. JackSparrow Ninja 05:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the site. I already had found it myself, but still thanks for the effort. BTW., great practical joke. :)

[edit] Apology

Even though I feel that you have an agenda to promote LotL, I must apologize for my attitude towards you - including rudeness, sarcasm, and insults. - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, I really appreciate this. I always do my best be civil towards everyone. Should I ever have failed you in that, please accept my apologies for that. I honestly believe you are a good editor, but our indifferences on this topic seem to clash. I hope we can one day work out our differences and work better together.

Don't worry too much about sarcasm though. As a friend of me says "sarcasm is an exotic language". JackSparrow Ninja 21:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

If you give me any more cookies, I'll get sick of them. :p - A Link to the Past (talk) 21:29, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism study

I have finally finished double-checking all of the data points. All we need to do is check all of the calculations for the page and write the conclusions! We are almost finished. Please help out if you can. Remember 22:56, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It is now triple checked and we're hammering out the conclusion wording. Come on by, we'd love your input. This is pretty exciting stuff, we're so close to the end! :D JoeSmack ^Talk 00:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

We're pretty much done, you still around? Love to hear your input... :) JoeSmack ^Talk 20:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

We're deciding on what to start for study 2, what do you think? JoeSmack ^Talk 20:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing LotL

The way I see it, regardless of if you believe LotL is a secondary source (independent from the subject) and verifiably notable enough, you have to open a discussion. I suggest bringing it up at WP:CVG. If LotL survives after a substantial discussion, I won't touch it. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:23, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

You can discuss it here. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

If you don't answer, I will propose on WP:VG to have all links to the web site removed. - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:14, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, it slipped my mind.

Anyway, I'm working on giving the Wikiproject Reliable Source on video games shape. If you have a little patience, we'll get it all worked out nicely. JackSparrow Ninja 19:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

It's been a while, so I thought I would remind you. Just note that at present, you seem to be the only one pushing Land of the Legend to be used. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar for all the help you provided

		The Original Barnstar
		For all of your help in gathering data for the first vandalism study, you greatly deserve this.

Thank you so much for helping us out on the first study. We were dragging alone and you helped provided a definate boost to the project with your quick and extensive help. I greatly appreciate your help in making the study possible and I hope you will continue to help out on furture studies. Hopefully, we our first study will be seen as something valuable and I think we might have started something that will give a greater understanding of how wikipedia works and will help out the whole community.

[edit] List of games considered the worst ever

I saw the tags on the article and proposed a change which might make it salvagable and reasonable. Since you were involved in the article, I thought you might like to comment. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ speak ○ see ○ 18:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your revert

The information was added to the development sections of each game; therefore, the article is now redundant and should be turned into a disambiguation page. — Deckiller 16:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
