References

Hi, I noticed on the Mephiston page you removed the unreferenced tag and replaced it with an un-wiki linked website address. I have reverted this as the website is not an adequate reference. Please take a look at WP:CITE for some information that may be useful to you. Also, take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Warhammer 40,000/References for some pre-formatted references. Ideally we need statements to be referenced to specific books, website pages and pages of magazines. Cheers -Localzuk ^(talk) 18:13, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Brother Corbulo article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! --Pak21 22:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The same also applies to some other articles you have contributed to, including Brother-Captain Tycho and Mephiston. --Pak21 11:24, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Saberwyn replies

List the dude(s) whose name appears on the front cover.. in this case Gordon Rennie and Colin MacNeill. -- Saberwyn 21:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question about Sanguinius

There has been much controversey on how Sanguinius is pronounced. I just wanted to know how you pronounce Sanguinius.

Personally I say it "San-Gween-E-Us" but evryone else pronounces it "San-Gin-E-Us"

I pronounce it San-gwin-is, based off of thw word exsanguination (ex-san-gwin-A-shin). Hope that helps.

Comics

Including the illustrator for comics sounds fine to me. I've tweaked things appropriately (except with "MacNeil" rather than "MacNeill": see http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/1844161463.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg). Cheers --Pak21 09:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warnings to 82.35.111.116

Thanks for the explanation: I just found it rather confusing that the IP has apparently made only one edit, but that's because the other article they edited got speedied out of existence again! Cheers --Pak21 08:45, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your reversion on Khàrn the Betrayer

I know this is a bit late in the piece, but well done spotting that and maintaining the page. Just showing appreciation for good management! Primarch 02:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Night Lords

Hey, uhh dont you think you might have went a bit overboard with the removals on the night lords page, i mean youve cut out most of the history of Konrad Curze and the chapter pages are where that is etc? It all seems a bit drastic Lowris 11:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I don't. ;) I think I've brought it more in line with the WP:WAF. The majority of what I removed was either original research or fictional detail unsuitable for an encyclopaedic entry. It was mostly trivial detail that was more or less paraphrased from an IA article. The purpose of the article should not be to tell Night Haunter's story in detail (after all that is what GW is for). I think the vast difference shows just how much fanboysim and purple prose was in the article in the first place.

I agree that it should be told- but you'll need to reveal to me what important parts of his story are now missing? Take a look at this Captain Marvel (DC Comics), a page that the WP:WAF puts forward as a shining example. The key elements of Captain Marvel's origin are there without details like what he ate for brekafast, whether he felt irritiable in the mornings or any flowery hyperbole. In any case, I'm going to Bold and stand by my edit. If the rest of the group disagrees, I'm happy to discuss.Primarch 12:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your concerns, but again, please point out this "valid information". Remembering that wikipedia could perhaps state that Night Haunter is considered one of the most engimatic primarchs, but it is not our duty to build that sense of enigma around him. Primarch 14:02, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I feel the details are there- he became a vigilante, after raising himself. I removed story detail about how he would "lurk" and comparisons to him being a "wild animal" and so on. It's non-factual and pure fictional hyperbole. Consider the Captain Marvel article- it states that he has super powers, like Superman, enhanced strength, speed and invulnerability. Does it need to "prove" it by telling us a story about how Captain Marvel raced a train and then stopped it by putting his head on the tracks? Or does it simply need to cite its sources?

As for the other pages (which aren't primarch pages- this is the problem- the primarchs don't meet the standards for noteworthy characters- so fans have used the legion pages to tell wafty stories about them), I think they're problematic as well. Primarch 22:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, I understand what you're saying- but a lot of that information was either false or paraphrased/copied from the Index Astartes article. If you have a copy of it, read it and compare it to the stuff I deleted- almost copied with a word or two changed here or there. All that history is already in the article- the Wikipedia entry just repeated it. We should report on the article, not retell it. In any case, I did put forward that I was going to bring the article to the same WP:WAF style that Abaddon the Despoiler, Lucius the Eternal and Khârn the Betrayer are written in, on the project page months ago and there were no objections and a couple of blessings. However, I'm willing to take another look and see what can be filled out without becoming a piece of fan fiction. In addition, be bold and feel free to add things yourself!

Proposed deletion of Ciaphas Cain

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ciaphas Cain, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --EEMIV (talk) 15:06, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Project activity

File:W40000 Symbol.png

This message is a test to check to see if members of the Warhammer 40K Project are still online, active and interested in helping the project. If you are no longer interested in the project all you need to do is...nothing! If you don't respond to this I'll take your name off the list and you'll never here from us again. If you're the proactive type you can remove the name yourself or talk to me and I'll do it.

If you are still interested in helping out the 40K project or otherwise still want to be listed there you can say so in response to this message on your talk page or on mine. Alternately you can add our new userbox ({{User WikiProject Warhammer 40,000}}) to your userpage and I'll take that as a response. The userpage doesn't automatically include people in a category of members yet, but it might in the future.

We've assessed most of the articles in the project on the Version 1.0 assessment scale (the table on the project page should take a few days to update) but we need to push to get the core articles in the project up to GA status. Thanks for all your help. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help the project along. Protonk (talk) 21:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
