The Working Man's Barnstar

Many thanks for this award. TerriersFan 23:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No prob! Cocoma 23:48, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Using subst in templates

It is a good habit, especially for user warnings, to use "subst" before the template name. For example:

{{subst:uw-test2|Whatever}} -- ~~~~

That will reduce processing time when the page is displayed. There is a bot that will come along eventually and insert the "subst" if you forget. wrp103 (Bill Pringle) 23:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Will insert subst in the future. Cocoma 23:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Xiaxue.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Xiaxue.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn 10:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Campus Superstar

Hello! It quite disturbing for you to remove the scores and songs of every round of the competition. It doesn't really tell others what Campus Superstar really is when you removed those information. People want to see and know the progress and history of Campus Superstar. You possibly don't watch Campus Superstar. Your move angered many who are watching and had spend their time editing the article over these 2 years. kiewzhenyi 13:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have you taken the time to read WP:NOT? Wikipedia is not a fan site, neither is it a journalism. Please take the discussion on Campus SuperStar's talk page and not breaking the 3RR rule.Cocoma 16:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cocoma is always right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.7.242 (talk) 09:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course

Hi. I do not think this make Wikipedia a fansite. Firstly, if posting results of every match make this a fansite, consider soccer cups and leagues. Just look at articles like UEFA Cup and you will know what I mean. Next, I think it is appropriate for the scores to be in because this is part of the history of the competition. I think you must have some biaseness against Singapore's TV shows or even Singapore, you are not showing that you are objective by your actions. kiewzhenyi 14:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that I removed your report on WP:AIV as it is an edit dispute and not simple vandalism. 3RR is only reached with the 4th revert - consecutive edits count as 1 revert - and should be reported on the appropriate page. Agathoclea 16:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note about the tag on the article: ~~one of my favourite misquotations of CSD A1 is that is for "nonsense". In fact, it's for unintelligible stuff, not the merely nonsensical.~~ (sorry, you said A1, not G1). In fact, I don't understand how this either of A1 or A3, but I'll delete it for a better reason. Splash - tk 20:59, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article is written in a way of blatant advertisement and with very minimal content that is on the NPOV. Viewing through the history, it makes me wonder if this article is simply an advert promoted wiki. The style of writing throughout all the other products by Wondershare are also the same. Feel free to note me on the 'better reason' if you are okay to tell me :)Cocoma 21:07, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Talk

The following copied from User:121.6.64.153:

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Odex. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Cocoma 13:08, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User:121.6.64.153 here, you will be blocked from editing. Editing other users' pages is considered as vandalism. Do so on talk. As a side note, I personally don't see how saying "I sure hope you aren't an ODEX employee or Stephen Sing himself" can be considered an attack, as I never said that they (ODEX employee or Stephen Sing) were bad. If you do claim they are insults, you are also claiming that they (ODEX employee or Stephen Sing) are bad. --121.6.64.153 15:08, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While you seem to be familiar with how Wikipedia works and try to provide me with a warning whatsoever, you are distorting the fact and misintepreting the term. Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Commenting on your talk page stating that what you have stated is not considered vandalism. My ground on your attack is when you told the editor that you hope that he isn't director of Odex, and that he sounds like one. You judged the editor based on your POV, commenting on the contributor, rather than the content. And while my talk page header did state that you should be welcoming and assume good faith when posting, you did neither. Cocoma 21:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Filmmaking Announcement

A PROPOSED PROJECT MERGER with WikiProject Films is under consideration. All opinions and questions are strongly encouraged! Girolamo Savonarola 01:17, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Super Mario RPG lists

Currently, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars has two lists pertaining to it (List of characters in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). User:TTN decided it would be best to merge the lists into the main article and split Smithy Gang into those articles. I recently merged Smithy Gang into the list of chatacters by removing the non-notable characters, and I have asserted that a cameo section in the list of characters is valid, per Wikipedia:Trivia sections and Wikipedia:Handling trivia that uses Alex Trebek#Cameos as a good example. I have suggested that we rename the articles per Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves to something along the lines of Characters of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and World of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars or Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars) just like Characters of Final Fantasy VIII and World of Final Fantasy VI or Gaia (Final Fantasy VII). I believe if these articles are to evolve beyond a non-notable list, they should be renamed. For example, List of Final Fantasy VII locations was merged into Gaia (Final Fantasy VII), because a World article is notable, but a simple list of locations is not. That is why there are other secions of the article to make it a World article. It simply has not been renamed yet.

TTN believes the citations in the development and reception sections of the list of locations, books and magazines, are trivial sources. When I added that the 3D perspective of the game is reminicent of Equinox to the main article, TTN removed it since my souce was "the opinions of the Nintendo Power player's guide writers". Although it was actually Nintendo Power magazine, I do believe a magazine is a reliable source, and I gave a page from Next Generation Magazine which also said the same thing. In addition, I was surprized that TTN said that it was from the players guide, since he claims to own the players guide for the game. He has not verified this, since I asked him for citations in May, "Could you look in the back of the Player's Guide and tell me what “types” of … Magic? I forgot what they call it in the game … well, anyways, what types of Special Attack or whatever it is (actually, could you find out what it's called?) there are? I remember some vaguely when I owned the guide like “Fire”, “Jump”, “Electricity?”, etc. Could you provide a citation, like the page number with a quote in context?" TTN replied that he was going to "get to it" (User talk:TTN/Archive 5#List of locations in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars). TTN claims the player's guide is "at the bottom of a box that's behind at least five others in a cramped space". Seeing that TTN did not recognize that the page was not from the player's guide when I provided a scan of the page in question from Nintendo Power shocked me. However, I have continued to assume good faith by not questioning TTN's honesty.

Per Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change, I have offered five different reasonable, temporary compromises that might integrate my idea with TTN's.

Go over the list of characters so we can delete non–notable characters
Rename the articles by following the steps at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting potentially controversial moves.
Cut down the geography section list of locations by cutting it into the regional maps the adventures use when traveling from one to another. I can get pictures and write the fair use rationals, and someone can cut down the text that has no citation and does not allude to other media.
Write the concept and creation and reception sections for the list of characters
Write the concept and creation section for the main article

TTN rejected my compromise because it still keeps the articles. I agreed I would consider a redirect, but Wikipedia:Article size does not allow that, since the list of locations is currently 82 KB long. Instead, I agreed to help cut down the geography section that is the bulk of the article, but TTN rejected that as well because TTN states, "I am not interested in working on the article in regards to improving it." and "get past this "having sources automatically means that this information is good" mentality." TTN states, "I don't think they have or will ever assert notability." I have replied with, "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so if you don't think the articles will ever assert notability, we cannot yet know this, per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#I don't like it.

Would you please take a look at Talk:Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and give us your thoughts? Taric25 01:41, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

longshoreman additions

Hi Cocoma, I am new to this so please excuse my clumsiness. I added some 3rd party history to the powerpoint page and I think it was un-done. Was that you? If so, please explain what was inappropriate about the add. Thanks very much, PS: I hope this is the right way to ask that too. longshoreman55 03:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You've added longshoreman55 19:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)== on the article which shouldn't be there. As for the actual content, I believe it shouldn't be on PowerPoint. Instead, it should be added under Presentation program. Ignore the edit summary as I have mistakened it as a vandalism initially when you've added your nick in there.

Thanks,
