Dark Omen

Thanks for your comment, and it's good to see a standalone article for Dark Omen - it was one of my favourite games at the time, and I have fond memories of my group of friends bringing (desktop) PCs to one another's houses, and connecting them with serial cable to play the multiplayer version.

Unfortunately I never completed Shadow of the Horned Rat. I played Dark Omen first and was pretty disappointed when I finally got to SOTHR - the sequel is a much better game. As far as I recall it started off with Bernhardt being called to the Border Princes by Carlsson to fight Skaven (rat men), while at the same time Skaven agents steal warpstone from some Imperial wizard and conduct experiments. Then you have a choice between relieving a dwarf hold or going to the wood elf forest of Loren, but that's about as far as I got - I can only guess at where the story goes from there.

God Game

Indeed I am pleased with the article and I wouldn't change anything. Well... perhaps the self sustaining part... I consider "the sandbox of god" to be a god game but it is turn based. If the game is turn based is it still self-sustaining ? I don't know... I guess so since if you leave the computer on all night the game will still play but nothing will have changed. Oh well, I prefer not to think about it too much but if god games can be turn based I wonder if the self sustaining part is true enough. Perhaps we only have to add "for non turn based games" or "for real time games" as a precision. But yes, good job on making the article like it is. It's proof that humans can cooperate some times lol Bragador 03:32, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

History of computer role-playing games

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that History of computer role-playing games is the WP:CVG Collaboration of the Week. Since you originally split the stub from the main article, I thought you might be interested in contributing. I jotted some ideas on the talk page. --SevereTireDamage 07:29, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template Metaprogramming

Thank you for moving the macro reference to a more appropriate position in the article. Would it be possible for you to edit that same section again though to make it more generic and fixed to the topic by removing the C++-ness of the section. There is no reason to highlight C++ over any of the other template implementations here. Also I'm not sure if the word 'macro' needs to be in quotes as it is a real word used in its correct meaning in this context. DerekP 20:54, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Derek Smart

Hi, if you don't mind my asking. How did you come about the Derek Smart page to which you are now (skillfully) contributing? Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 15:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Let's see, IIRC I was involved in an IRC discussion about Wikipedia and were discussing edit wars. We talked about the Eric S. Raymond article revert wars, and someone suggested a similarity to the Derek Smart article. I'm not personally involved in any of the subjects, but I do consider Wikipedia one of the great acheivments of humankind, so I have a vested interest in making it the best place I can. Since I do a lot of negotiations and mediations professionally I thought I could pitch in. It is also stimulating to try to sift through arguments to reach the often psychological cores underneath, and further stimulating to try to author neutral accounts of things. Call it a damage from Academia :) Cheers!

LOL!! OK, I see. Well, good luck with the Derek Smart page. You'll need all the luck you can get my friend. :) Supreme_Cmdr^(talk) 19:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please be civil and assume good faith

While I understand and appreciate your personal opinion that this is a more appropriate place for it, I would ask you to be a little bit more civil and assume good faith that I intended to place it in the best spot I thought possible. Yes I was serious, and it is pure opinion as to whether a "group within a genre" or a "sub-genre" is the better way of putting it.

So please, treat others how you would hope to be treated. Enigmatical 22:58, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry that you took it that way, it wasn'm my intention. The "you" was more intended as "one". Anyway, unless you have substantial sources to back it up 4x can't be taken as a sub-genre to RTS: except having resources -and you have that in SimCity too- the relationships are spurious. It is a sub-genre of strategy game (as is RTS), but not of RTS. Again, I could have phrased the edit synapsis better, but I'm not native to English and I still make mistakes.

removal of templates

Why did you remove citation requests from the Real-time strategy article during your rewrite? The purpose of them is to indicate that a claim is unreferenced and encourage someone to place a reference. Unilateral removal of them is not a good thing to do as it does not encourage the use of references. I will be re-inserting them where appropriate.-Localzuk ^(talk) 10:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looked at how extensive the edit you made was to remove them, I am reverting the entire edit. This is only to restore the templates - not to remove your rewrite. -Localzuk ^(talk) 10:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Close combat

You asked why the recent commenst on the page "Close Combat" were removed. The reason is, is that the recent additions require source info. If you can verify the info I deleted, and provide a link, I have no problem with you replacing this info. I ran a search on the name Steven Silver at http://www.closecombat.org/CSO/modules.php which is the best CC source on the net, and there is no info. thanks!

Universal editorial confirmation of MI Easter Eggs

A laughable concept. You got there just before me — a ridiculous set of edits — I wish people would at least have a look at previous editorial contributions before wading in. I remember reading an article about the importance of "assuming good faith" a while back on the Wikipedia pages. Kris 23:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it would be rather arduous for him if he had to check every easter egg ever. *grin* But I suppose if the bloke wants to go around the universe penning "(unverified)" next to every statement of something he hasn't experienced himself, then who's to stop him...

Comment order

Sorry if I offended you on the manner I interspersed comments on Talk:Eiffel (programming language). I merely meant to highlight the continuity of my two comment blocks in relation to Meyer's comments, not deprecate your comment in any way. Your comment seemed more like it related to the whole thread than to a specific prior sentence, so that struck me as reasonable. But of course, I'll leave your modification in place. LotLE×talk 18:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll think nothing further of it then. In all honesty, it did ruffle my feathers a wee bit, because while answering in a thread-like manner is acceptable, reshuffeling the indentation level and message order of other editors on the talk page seemed... well, uncouth.

Fair use rationale for Image:WHMOC - Empire defending hamlet against Chaos.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WHMOC - Empire defending hamlet against Chaos.jpg. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. (ESkog)^(Talk) 17:17, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Jane's Fleet Command - FMV clips.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Jane's Fleet Command - FMV clips.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 16:43, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:3-Demon (screenshot).gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:3-Demon (screenshot).gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:01, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
