Hello

Greetings, the holi-hangover continues! --Bhadani 07:14, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes I did

I did redirec thte "official mods" and "unofficial mods" because I don't think that they don't deserve their own article. It would be very short (stub-worthy) and much better placed in the main article. Just make a header in the AOW article listing mods and links to them. Hbdragon88 16:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I reiterate my point that lists of stuff do not deserve their own article. It is better putin the main article. Hbdragon88 00:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi

It was nice to see your message. I want to be inactive but fail to do so. Wikipedia is like an addiction. How are you? Chennai is fine as usual! --Bhadani 13:03, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Homeworld Reference Removal

Hi, I was wondering why you took Homeworld and its manual out of the list of references for Homeworld. It would seem they are the most relevant and reliable sources of information. Please explain your actions. --Twile 20:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see how links could be provided for them. Homeworld is a game. Its manual is a booklet. They don't have web links that let you access the information obtained from them.--Twile 21:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

The references aren't for any particular fact or quote, they're for the whole plot, summary, etc etc. --Twile 21:36, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it should be included just so people don't think the info was made up. If you want to help, great. I'm working on a ship template right now.--Twile 21:50, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements! WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas: An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style) Evolving lists into regular articles Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections) Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members More to come These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.

Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

Signed...

Empty articles

Hi. Please do not create empty article (which consist only of a category or external link), as they would be deleted according to the wikipedia policy. If you create a new article, try to put in more content. Thank you. bogdan 11:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks

I noticed that you brought the "Editions and pricing" table from Windows Vista over into the Microsoft Office 2007 article. Thanks! I made that table... glad to see someone liked it enough to replicate it on another page. :-) -/- Warren 02:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay Thanks i agree it is better to have it as Malayalam Actors

Yes as Malayalam actors.

Reverts to Splinter Cell

Sorry about the revert. At first glance it appeared as if you just blanked the requirements section. I have added your requirements back to the info box but still left the larger PC Requirements section in the article as there appears to be a lot more information there then what you moved to the info box.

Tomb Raider Anniversary

The game is simply not planned for XBox 360. It will be PS2, PSP and PC only. Folken de Fanel 23:22, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Kareena Kapoor

Your edits to Kareena Kapoor were in violation of WP:FU and have been reverted. --Yamla 05:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 12:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:Christianity question

I noticed you took out some "related projects" content to the WP:Christianity site. I'm not arguing with you, I would just like to know why these other religions can't be included in the related section? Yes, the project is for Christianity, and yes, Muslim and Islam religions aren't strictly 'Christian' per se, but they are a religion and they are somewhat related to Christianity.... Just wondering, not trying to cause any problems or anything.... Thanks! NDCompuGeek 00:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
