The Future of Kingdom Hearts

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article The Future of Kingdom Hearts, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Reply: Metros

I extremely doubt that Metros would hold a grudge for long. He is an admin, and probably has been in this situation many times before. Shrewpelt (talk) 00:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Game Review

A tag has been placed on Game Review, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 20:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Game Review

A tag has been placed on Game Review requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

April 2008

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Game Review. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. I see you've removed AfD templates from articles before, so please don't do it with other articles (or other templates that ask you not to). Cheers, Booglamay (talk) 21:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion tags on Game Review

Apologies if it wasn't you who removed the tag - the page has gone so I can't check the edit history (likewise for any entries in user contribution pages). However, there would have been no need for you to tag the page with {{holdon}} if the db tag had already been removed. Nice job for adding the page in the first place though - Wikipedia is all about being bold and contributing. If this article is worthy of a page in Wikipedia, it will gain notability in due course. See you around!

AfD nomination of The Future of The Kingdom Hearts Series

An editor has nominated The Future of The Kingdom Hearts Series, an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Future of The Kingdom Hearts Series and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:59, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Article

Any video game articles we could work on? I'm looking for something to work on. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I will start on that tomorrow maybe. I see you have an XBox live account. By any chance, do you have a PlayStation Network account? I would love to play you in Guitar Hero. Anyways, I'm going to go outside (It's like 45 degrees, but it's always so cold here in Massachusetts, so that's kind of warm). STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Even if you are not 18 I could still interview you, but I would be unable to formally use the results I gather in my research.

Fair use images

I have disabled the links to the Kratos image on both of your user pages, per WP:FU we need a rationale to explain the use of such images in articles, however we can't create a rationale to use them in user space and their use in it is not allowed. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, use of fair use images in talk pages also falls under userspace. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:13, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Guitar Hero 3 cheat codes

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Guitar Hero 3 cheat codes, 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Guitar Hero 3 cheat codes.

Darth Vader

Hey there. I decided to revert this edit of yours. There are at least two issues involved: The first being a lack of citation for either of the two sentences; even more importantly, in the wider context of both the Star Wars franchise and the character of Darth Vader, The Force Unleashed is of very minor relevance and this piece of information doesn't belong in the lead of the article.

Speedy deletion of How It Should Have Ended

A tag has been placed on How It Should Have Ended requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 01:13, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it was deleted before I posted this. If you had confirmed that you have reliable sources per WP:RS to support notability per WP:WEB I would have removed the speedy tag. You may want to consider using a user sandbox/subpage if you want to create an article in stages, to avoid new article patrollers (like me) from tagging for speedy while you are still creating your article. Thanks! – ukexpat (talk) 01:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Vandalism Wars

Reasons

As per WP:DENY, I've blipped your thing on "Vandalism Wars".

It really isn't particularly amusing. DS (talk) 01:44, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

re: The Immortals

The reason why I rated the article low in importance is because of two factors: it has yet to be released so its importance in the book world is uncertain and the article on the book series does not establish importance. What you need to do is find reliable secondary sources to establish importance; book reviews from notable Science Fiction critics, for example, would be suitable. This goes doubly for the main book series article, which also completely lacks sources. Simply saying it's "popular" doesn't cut it on Wikipedia, I'm afraid. :) Best of luck, María (habla conmigo) 22:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Good job!

I think the two articles you made will survive. You are getting the hang of it here! Good job! STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 23:14, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

The Immortals (Grey Griffins)

A tag has been placed on The Immortals (Grey Griffins), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a user page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a regular Wikipedia article rather than a user page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. María (habla conmigo) 18:26, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You're mistaken. I did not put the deletion prod on your sandbox page. It may be difficult to tell with the redirect, but I put the prod here, which is no longer where the article is since you moved it. Because the entire content of the article is now on your userspace, leaving a redirect to User:Kingrock/sandbox/The Immortals (Grey Griffins), the original article (now only a redirect) is a candidate for speedy deletion; this was explained to you above. In short, it is improper to have an article redirect to one's userpage. You should not have moved the page in the first place, so in order to rectify this, the original article needs to be deleted; however, the content will remain in your userspace so you can continue to work on it. I hope this makes sense? I am going to re-add the prod, but if you still have issues with it, please follow the directions rather than simply removing it. María (habla conmigo) 20:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Plot summaries: NO!

No, no, no, no! It would be a major problem. Overlong plot summaries of the entire book, much less each chapter, are the kind of things that get deleted all the time. We don't want plot summaries; we want to know what the rest of the world thinks of the book. If nobody has noticed it much, the article may be deleted under WP:BOOK, regardless of how much you like it. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You need to read WP:FICTION; not all novels are notable. I didn't delete the article, but unless you can establish notability under our standards, they will all be deleted. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
There are in excess of 100,000 new books published every year. Not all of them are going to be notable. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Enclclopedia

I have heard about it. And, since you enjoy writing articles about books, this might help you. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 12:34, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually....

Excuse me, first of all I will edit any article I want and you are not one to tell me to leave an article alone.

Second, if you actually cared to look at the edit you would see that I reverted an edit after yours BACK to your edit. Do a diff on your last edit to mine and you will see there is no difference, I just removed the vandalism that happened afterwards.

Also, you might want to read up on WP:CIVIL. Your message was unnecessarily accusatory. Wjw0111 (talk) 04:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

What edit are you talking about? Give me a diff link. Wjw0111 (talk) 04:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I think you will see here that you made a revision, then someone else edited and then I reverted back to your version. I think you are seeing things. Wjw0111 (talk) 04:11, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, you really didn't have good reason to be suspicious. You will see from my edit history that most of my contribs are to revert vandalism, as I was doing to that article. If I reverted 'to' your revision I really don't see how that could ever be conceived as reverting your edit... In the future, I would highly recommend against accusing registered users with edit histories making clear their intentions, of vandalism. Threats of getting an admin involved included. Do your research before such comments, and even after that I would recommend being a bit more civil. For your sake and the sake of other users please consider reading WP:CIVIL Thanks. Wjw0111 (talk) 04:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
You actually said that you apologized, but not for being suspicious. When you actually had no reason to be suspicious, so I was unaware of why you would leave that out. The apology wasn't uncivil, but the initial accusation was. The reasons to back that up: You started the post with "Watch out", you threatened admin involvement.
It is generally wikipedia policy to warn vandals (even when they ARE vandals) by assuming good faith. That is why I mentioned incivility. I'm sorry if any of my language furthered those negative feelings. I'm sure you can understand that when you are working on here to revert vandalism, to be accused of it yourself is quite troubling. I would not have minded so much if you had assumed good faith, however seeing "Watch out" and then having threats of contacting admins and then warning to leave an article alone were what was troubling me. My main concern here wasn't with the mistake (those happen, we're all human) I was just concerned about they way you handled it. Thanks Wjw0111 (talk) 04:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
No hard feelings. I'm sure I responded too hastily myself. Us anti-vandals need to stick together. Cheers Wjw0111 (talk) 04:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)


Little context in Grey Griffins Navbox

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Grey Griffins Navbox, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Grey Griffins Navbox is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

GA Nom

Looks like you took care of the assessment yourself. Good luck! STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Withdrawn

Looking it over, I think it does need a bit more work. I haven't read the books (but I might after I finish this book, this book and this book.) STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Go to WP:PR and read the instructions there. An editor will help you out and provide suggestions for the article. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Peer Review

I think you've made the correct choice; peer reviews are very helpful and it'll get you more input from experienced users. To create one, just go to WP:PR and follow the directions by adding {{subst:PR}} to the top of the talk page. Let me know when you have it up and I'll give you some suggestions.

A lead is difficult to write/comment upon if the rest of the article does not exist. As I said in my PR comments, WP:LEAD states that the first section is supposed to be a summary of the entire article. I find it easier to write the article first and then the lead so I know what to include. Right now your revised lead consists of only three sentences, so it's difficult to say what exactly will be included in the body of the article. Try writing the entire article based on my comments (and others if more people comment) and then the lead. María (habla conmigo) 11:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Question on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Horologium

Could you clarify your question on my RFA? As currently written, it's not clear what you are asking me. Horologium (talk) 21:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I'll finish it by tomorrow probably. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 22:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Almost done! It will be on your page soon. STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Finished! Like it? STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 21:14, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Percy Battle of Lab.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Percy Battle of Lab.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:23, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Newsletter bot

You know what, I've never really had any experience with bots either. So I don't really know what is necessary to approve a bot and get it up and running. I do think having a bot automate the delivery of the newsletter would be great since the subscription list is over 40 now. The newsletter is still getting of the ground now and we may not automate it just yet, but the sooner the better.

I'll leave a reminder on the VG talk page about the newsletter needing to get ready for next week and try to get feedback on automation. Thanks. (Guyinblack25 talk 22:04, 29 April 2008 (UTC))
