Hi, I'm sorry to be a spoil sport, but I nominated this for deletion. Sorry. --Rob 03:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Mega Man Zero

I'm planning on readding and possibly expanding this since the current MMZ articles only describe the parts of the setting relevant to them; none give an overview of the setting. For obvious reasons I'd like to ask if you think we should have an overview, and what could be done to improve this one. Also, do you have a clear idea of why Neo Arcadia genocided Reploids? It's clear that the Maverick Virus is destroyed, but there are references to both paranoia about Mavericks and the Reploids' consumption of energy in a time of dire scarcity. Perhaps both.

On the offchance that you haven't thought of this: The Four Generals seem to be a body of special Reploids entrusted with hunting down and destroying Mavericks, and that sounds awfully familiar... --Kizor 01:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

The article already seems to be more than efficent in explaining the game's premise, so I think an overview is unessary. About the four generals, I don't understand your query, because we made full articles on each of them awhile ago. Also the game has not stated that Zero's virus is gone, so we can't make assumptions. Thanks for your input, though. -MegamanZero|Talk 03:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Premise, yes: Zero's been sleeping, Neo Arcadia is evil and the Resistance is not, zap slash boom bang. There's little about the blasted state of the world, the defeat of the Maverick Virus (you're right that we don't know it's no more, but it's clearly history, over with, not a factor (until further notice)), or the like. The mention of the Four Generals wasn't a query, just a piece of unfounded speculation that I found cool: Could they be the remnant or corruption of the Maverick Hunters? --Kizor 12:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I think the article is fine the way it is. It explains quite enough on its own, and the various articles across the games even furthur the information capacity. About your speculation regarding the Four Generals, They can't be considered remnants of the Maverick hunters in the strictest sense (since they were made from X's design and weren't around in the time of the Maverick hunters), but they are remanents of the Maverick hunters in the spritual sense, as they act, carry out and perform their duties in the same way the Maverick Hunters did. I also speculate that Neo Arcadia evoloved from the Maverick Hunters , as the Repliforce war and Neo Arcadia's regime both are very similar situations. Depends on how you look at it, I suppose (I tend to overanalyze things)....-MegamanZero|Talk 12:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Eye color in Finland

I noticed your edit, and I agree. I don't believe any nation has blue eye color in the 90th percentile, in fact, I recall reading (I'm trying to figure out where) that no country went over (or much over) 50 percent blue eyes. I seem to recall that brown eyes were the actual 'majority' everywhere. I think the correct percentage is around 37-42.

Running candidate template

Hi. I've reverted your edit and it would be polite for me to explain. The template was intended to be - and as far as I can tell, has - used to caution, not just to state that the politician in question is taking part in an election. There's just not much point in the latter, since it's not something that should be taken into account when reading the article and is clear from the text itself. --Kizor 21:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I still don't agree with the wording though: "This article about a candidate in the upcoming 2006 Finnish presidental election may draw controversy and partisanship." seems to imply that the article itself (or the article being about a candidate) is going to draw controversy and partisanship, which is hopefully inaccurate if the article is written with WP:NPOV in mind. Frankly I don't like any templates which say stuff like, "This article may attract vandalism", as that only tends to encourage it. I think saying, "This article is about a candidate in the upcoming XXXXX election" is enough. People know elections can be contentious and saying it may draw controversy/partisanship is unnecessary. If the article itself is not up to snuff then tag it with {{npov}}. --Cyde Weys 22:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kizor Nice to meet you.

Hi Kizor I didn't knew I was accidently submiting copyright on Magic Carpet Plus for the manual. Oop's I am sorry. :o Thank's for informing me. I have fixed it. Knew I just have to figure out how to delete the work I submited. And delete the things I submited. heheh well no worry it was a learning experiece anyways. Thanks for informing me Kizor. Nice meeting you. :) Thanks for showing me this http://www.replacementdocs.com I will look into it. Cool.

Not realizing I couldn't completely delete my page that was in violation of copyright. It is no problem freakofnurture. I am sorry I made you upset.

Myomer

Hi, thanks for copyediting—the article does look saner now. Nevertheless, I think that in its current form it is mostly a sink. The only real article that links there is the one on BattleTech technology, where I think the information in myomer belongs anyway, so I have asked for a merge. I’m not an expert on (and not even a fan of) that particular bit of fiction, but if you are, then I’d like to suggest that you consider looking at the possibility of doing that. —xyzzy_n 00:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Judging by the number of occurences of the term in BattleTech technology (one, so far) I suppose one might omit the second half, maybe even the last two thirds, of the article, unless the information there is crucial for the entire BattleTech universe. That way the subsection would also be appropriately short. —xyzzy_n 01:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! —xyzzy_n 09:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually the block probably wasn't in response to your RFI report, as that page doesn't usually receive fast attention. More likely the blocking admin just saw the vandalism through one of the many anti-vandal mechanisms on site :) Anyway, in future it would be better to report simple vandalism to WP:AIV as a lot more admins watch that page, and you will get a faster response there.

TKK

Hiya, even though i speak fluent Finnish i say we keep it English here on en.wikipedia.

Well i actually did not even notice your adding of student hacks (as they are called in english, a tradition from MIT). But what i did notice was the first changes you did http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Helsinki_University_of_Technology&diff=52191486&oldid=48236840

Why did you remove "the aim of" and "also", i can understand removing "also", but removing "the aim of" just breaks the spelling. If you think TKK is already one of the top ten universities in europe of technology in the whole wide field of science, think again.

And what goes for the "jäynä"-culture or hack-culture then i think it's not quite the place for that in this article, at least yet. The article is a very short presentation of TKK and the jäynäs are really a specific student tradition which is not a main activity of the university, this could for instance be placed under a sub-header about student culture or separate article about something like this.

also, please use descriptive descriptions of your changes "holy crap" just won't do, it just makes people think you've vandalized the page.

Smallpox and BCE/BC

So, what exactly is your reasoning for the change? Wiki accepts both styles, and allows the editors of each article to establish the standard and enforce it. Most academic articles dealing with the history of disease, and with history itself, use the BCE/CE standard, and that is what this article has used for some time. Religious content should not, in my mind, be the sole criteria for choosing the common era standard. I am posting this note on the article's talk page for discussion. Best wishes.

Hey, I just thought you might like to know that User:AlexR is after your wonderful page Male_pregnancy and going to put it up for Afd. See, [2] and [3] Imp Wit

Hi. Thanks for your concern, but I honestly can't find evidence that he's planning to go after it. All he seems to say is that the now-deleted article was redundant and that the subject could as well be covered in the male pregnancy article. However, your note made me check the male pregnancy article and find things that badly needed fixing, so thanks. --Kizor 08:48, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Read this and become familiar with it

WP:OR

EGS

Hi! You noted in an edit summary that a couple of things were ‘lost’. I’d like to point out that they were actually ‘deliberately removed’ and I’d like to claim responsibility for that. My reasons were:

• bunnies

Irrelevant to the webcomic and not notable outside very few non-story strips and the forum. Unless the theme is somehow significantly expanded in the books (which I still have to buy…), this does not belong in the article at all.

• The Matrix

Possibly interesting comparison, but absolutely unhelpful for anyone not familiar with the film (I say this from experience). The article should not rely on the reader’s knowledge of such things and whatever point the comparison makes should just be made explicitely.

Iirc you don’t like deleting stuff, but is there a reason why I shouldn’t remove these items again? —xyzzy_n 18:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. "Bunnies" is not expanded in the books (I gather), but I find it a factoid worth noting. That said, I have to admit that it's too prominent. Perhaps a trivia note or the like, or does the article have too many sections already?

Fair enough on the Matrix issue. That needs to go. Honestly, I replaced the previous one with it mainly to get away from the previous one. Stating that the comic uses suspension of disbelief to look believeable could be said of virtually every piece of non-feasible fiction, anywhere, ever. --Kizor 19:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

If you want to keep the bunnies remark, consider moving it to the end of the list of minor characters (they did appear in two fillers…). As for trivia, at the moment, the entire article is devoid of references (in the Wikipedia sense) and there is hardly a need to add to that by starting a trivia section, is there? A section on the art (or whatever one calls the non-story properties of a webcomic that distinguish it from other webcomics), however, is still missing. —xyzzy_n 21:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, but I still object to ‘Said’. Would ‘These’, ‘Those’ or ‘Their’ satisfy you? By the way, I’ve been planning some more changes to the article:

• I want to replace the plot section with something better. My current draft is at User:xyzzy_n/EGS plot prose, but it’s still twice as long as I want it to be. Could you help write it?
• The secondary characters’ list is too long while not helping the reader. It should be either removed or abbreviated to the necessary minimum. The characters can still be found at Unforgiven’s character statistics and at Comixpedia:El Goonish Shive.
• The locations, technology and aliens lists should be rewritten in prose and better structured.

My overall long-term aim is to get the article from Start-Class to a good article, but in the short term, it’s just to get it up from Start-Class. (The main problem in the long term is to find references. Do you know any?) —xyzzy_n 10:37, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hammerspace

Ah, fair enough, I wouldn't want it turning into a long list of "Game X features Hammertime because...". I thought Elite Force might be notable for its unique explanation, but adding the note about teleportation is good enough for me. :) Sum0 18:55, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Pretty Face

Okay, I do see your point in this matter, but I do have some things to say about it as well. First, I would like to ask you if you've read all 52 chapters of the manga? I have, and it seems to me that the doctor may be a little strange and very perverted at that (maybe also having a weird sense of humour), but going as far as to call him "demented" makes it seem that he's outright insane, and even though you can see it this way, this is not the only way to describe him, which brings back why I thought it conflicted with WP:NPOV. I'm just trying to offer the fact that seeing him as "demented" seems more like an opinion to me than fact after reading through the whole series. 十八 16:25, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

But still, calling him a "nutjob" or "deranged" is closer to that of an opinion. Just because he may act in that way and we may interpret that as being insane, it's not exactly fact since no where in the whole manga did it ever explicitly state he was out right insane. This notion is mearly supplied by the audience and how they see him as one of the characters. 十八 01:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Well it's good to know that somebody is on my side here. I've already raised objetions to his deletion of some things previously (see Zerg and Protoss), but I haven't gotten any responses from him yet. While I agree with him to an extent that there is a bit too much gamecruft on Wikipedia, his deletions are simply excessive and unnecessary. Perhaps we could work together to get him to compromise on rewriting some of these articles instead of excessively deleting them like he has been, so it would probably help if you left him a comment as well. I've never been the best with words, so I could probably use some help in this. bob rulz 20:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

DPRK nuclear test

If you're watching Fox news, you will see that I now seem to be right. The test was - according to Fox news speculation - unsuccessful. The seismic test indicates it failed, if it was a nuclear test at all. This is Wikipedia acting as a crystal ball. I say, leave that to the mainstream media. Until independent confirmation says the test was nuclear, the page should not exist. KazakhPol 04:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

hammerspace

thanks for the references and links you have provided for the hammerspace article, i'm kinda too lazy to research for sources myself. however, although the external links seem fine, only one out of the three references you provided are good enough to serve as a reference. TV Tropes is a wiki. What's the point of a Wiki citing a wiki, especially when Wikipedia's article is one of the top hits on google for Hammerspace, and the other wiki says basically the same thing as this article does, and this cite is only being applied retroactively (which means, TV Tropes most likely got its info from here). And same thing for the dictionary, since it's just too brief and sounds too similar to this article to be reliable.

Anyways, thanks for your help! Blueaster 23:22, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The Luminoth

Hmm, the Luminoth don't really count as "ancient vanished precursors," as one living being, U-Mos, is seen repeatedly in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, while a number of others are in suspended animation, and awaken at the end of the game. Were you perhaps thinking of the Chozo? They'd be perfect for the category. In fact, I'm going to go add them now. --Herald Alberich 04:00, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I have to admit I'm not familiar with the Metroid Prime games. The vanished ancestors often aren't actually gone, being more often just hidden or on the verge of returning, but if the Luminoth indeed have a significant presence then they don't qualify. The Chozo, on the other hand, certainly qualify. --Kizor 15:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Are you still, as you put it when suggesting we keep the ultimately deleted webcomic article discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comedity, under the impression that we should disregard our content policies and keep unsourced encyclopedia articles about any webcomic that "meets the 100 comics limit and has certainly been around for long enough"? -- Dragonfiend 03:27, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I would. Don't think that I don't appreciate the sentiment in a goggle-eyed fashion, but at the moment it'd blow up spectacularily in our faces. I've been (and still am) involved in some debates where I let things get to me and conducted myself like an idiot. I need to better myself and take some distance from them. In addition I risk flunking college if I ramp my Wikipedia commitments up further and, well, I'm just a regular guy! :P --Kizor 14:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

All right, thanks for your reply and your continual contributions.--Lkjhgfdsa 21:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Webcomic notability guidelines

Hey, could I get your feedback on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics#Notability guidelines? I'm trying to hash out whether hosting on Comic Genesis (Keenspot) is sufficient to meet WP:WEB #3. Thanks much. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 22:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Why did you remove your comment from Talk:Tranquility Bay?

You made a statement implying that you were going to improve the article, but then removed it. Why? CameoAppearance ^orate 17:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The edit summary was "nm" - short for "never mind." I was busy with schoolwork and couldn't catch the documentary I could've used as a source. --Kizor 17:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Ah. Never mind then. CameoAppearance ^orate 17:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

J. R. R. Tolkien

Thanks for noticing that, Kizor. Perhaps a semi-protect is in order, do you think? -- Zanimum 18:29, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Definately, nice catch. Don't think AntiVandalBot can keep up with the vandalism occurring at this rate. Looks like that's where the problem originated. --KeithB 18:37, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Just, FYI, the main page featured article should not be protected or semi-protected. Please see WP:SPP#When_not_to_use_semi-protection for future reference. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 20:23, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Boomtown

I retained your edits (which are a good condensation) but removed the quotes (generally, we should eschew verbatim quotes wherever possible... that's what wikiquote is for, really). There's a fine line between cutting down the length of synopses and still retaining usefulness, as you've pointed out, and it's good that you managed to walk that. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 01:37, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Rrfayette

Hello. Thanks for the kind words. You know, what drives me nuts is that Rrfayette was obviously a sockpuppet account and he has now disappeared and is probably being disruptive somewhere else under another name. Sigh.... Pascal.Tesson 15:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Kidd Radd

I accept your judgement because I have no other options, but I could've done without the insult, mild though it was. *sigh* --Kizor 19:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you felt, insulted, it wasn't intended for anyone but a more general audience. Please accept my humble apologies. Yanksox 19:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Eh. Forget it. I know it was general. I was worked up because I honestly thought I had for once foiled the three users who are doing significant damage to our coverage of webcomics due to their overrigid-- and now I'm trying to draw you in. The point is, I probably wanted to be insulted. I'll go clear my head. --Kizor 20:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I don't object to recreation if notability and references are drawn in. Also, you can go to WP:DRV. Yanksox 20:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Would that I could. What's demanded is multiple large published works with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy (about a solely online art form that's perhaps a decade old and has next to no mainstream presence), or perhaps a notable independent award (there's one large source of awards, which they reject so perhaps four webcomics qualify for this, tops) or a well-known independent publisher (which, due to the unique nature of this one, would here be either pointless, infeasible or physically impossible). Notability? One of the most notable ones online had to be saved with DRV. Those are the rules; applicability and consequences matter not at all. My case was lost in AfD, it wouldn't stand a chance in DRV. --Kizor 21:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

What up dog? Just saying hi~! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 169.232.125.176 (talk) 06:35, 13 December 2006 (UTC).

Hammerspace help!

The article has gotten really bloated and badly written.... I've fixed up what I can, but I need support in cutting alot of stuff that doesn't belong there- I don't want to end up fighting any revert wars by myself.

Again? It's probably a necessary evil. Thanks for the heads-up, I'm with you as soon as I get up on Sunday.
A word of warning, though -- I will support retaining Hammertime. --Kizor 01:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

note

I left my response to your comment on my page. (basically it was just an apology)--Datarkaman 21:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Morbid Curiosity

I was wondering the same thing. If I knew how it would be really cool to use that some how (though that usage was wrong...). If you ever find out, please tell me. :) Post scriptum (kinda): Could you sign my autograph book? Thanks! —¡Randfan!^{Sign here?} 02:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. The basic ASCII character set and most Windows fonts both support some characters other than the ordinary letters and numbers, such as בּ and ﯔ , but also ░ ▄ ╬. The username was, more than likely, scrounged together from the latter. Unfortunately I don't think they're flexible enough for our use. --Kizor 12:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

For future reference

We often end up on opposite sides in AfDs, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately I have a temperamental streak and a tendency to take things personally, so in case I ever blow my top I wish to say, in advance, thank you for your work on Wikipedia. Your devotion to making the project better is admirable and your vandal-fighting, in particular, inspires awe.
By the way, you forgot "Accidental Centaurs" from your trophy wall. --Kizor 13:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey there, Kizor. I know we often end up on the opposite side of the fence when it comes to what we want to do to questionably notable articles, but we're certainly on the same team. I really do appreciate your efforts in the deletion discussions. Thank you for that. As for "The Accidental Centaurs", it's on the list under "The". Also, it's not really a trophy list; it's a way for me to see when a deleted article is recreated as happened for Kid Radd. --Brad Beattie (talk) 20:17, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that's just the sentiment I was trying to get across. Thanks.
So the comic is, too. I'm not a reader and had missed the "the."
As for the list, I really thought I'd foiled you in the Kid Radd AfD and couldn't resist... --Kizor 20:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Abe Saffron

Hola! Thanks for the heads up regarding the anon complaint on Abe Saffron. I have responded to him and will keep any eye on the article. You asked what would be the best way to call attention to such cases in the future, if you come across problems with Australian-themed articles, probably the best place to get attention is the Australian Wikipedians' notice board. Usually matters reported there get the attention of several Australian administrators and various editors. Thanks again for letting me know. All the best for the new year, :) Sarah 06:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

No, thank you for handling the issue competently and courteously. It was a pleasure to see. I'll make sure to follow your advice should the situation arise in the future, for now happy new year to you too. --Kizor 19:37, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

AIV report

Hello, Kizor. I did not indefinitely block the IP address that you reported to AIV. IP addresses are not blocked indefinitely, unless they are open relays. I did not give a shorter block either because I am not sure that it is the same person as the other IP address that added the link. A single edit of adding a link is not much to go on. Also, one of the IP addresses is in Atlanta, Georgia and the other is in Herndon, Virginia. The locations of IPs are not super reliable, but it is enough to make me suspect that it might be a different person. I suggest warning the new IP on his or her talk page. I would do it, but I could not check the website the person linked to as Charter Communications is having problems that cause random sites not to load, which has been really ruining my last two months. If the person continues to add inappropriate links, then the IP could be blocked. Thanks, Kjkolb 13:16, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the help. A chance encounter with yet another spamlink resulted in the discovery that this is bigger. A subtle long-term campaign to infest our articles with spamlinks, changing IPs after almost every edit. So far I've found 32 IPs, approximately a minimium of 45 spams, most of which were at least reverted by other editors. There's no chance left that this is coincidental, neither do IP bans seem like an effective solution. What now? --Kizor 11:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. I have not been online since the day I left the message on your talk page. I'm not sure what the solution is. I suggest that you post a message on the Administrators' Noticeboard with everything that you have learned, including a link to the sockpuppet category. I suspect that they are open proxies, which should be indefinitely blocked on sight. While that may not stop the person too much, since he or she is only using most of them only once, they should still be blocked to prevent others from using them. Ask the admins on the noticeboard what they think about blocking them and about how to stop the spammer. Talk to you later, Kjkolb 17:31, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
