User talk:The Prince of Darkness/Archive 2

Re: WP:GAN

Sorry I missed the excitement. Like you said, Ashnard handled it and left a note on the anon's talk page, so everything looks to be in order. Looks like you got a while before it gets reviewed. Good luck with it. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 00:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC))

Congrats on the GA, I think getting the Mario games up to higher quality is a good thing for the VG project since it's such an iconic series. I see you found the Super Mario 64 article too. I've tried cleaning it up some over the past couple of months but got stuck on sourcing the reception section. If you'd like, we can try to get it back up to FA. what do you say? (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC))

I just put in requests with two editors on the Video games Magazines archive. There were five different magazine issues with Mario 64 info, hopefully that'll be enough to finish up the article. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:47, 3 December 2007 (UTC))

Re: Super Mario 64

Normally I'd say yes, but because they show different things than just a normal score I'd say keep them. The different scores help show how the reception of the game has changed more than 10 years later. The Famitsu one could probably go though. I just put it in because getting a score like that from Famitsu is normally a difficult thing to do. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC))

I've been thinking about that some in case we missed something. The few things I think could be a problem are the "L is Real 2401" thing and the mention of Mario Galaxy. I'd like to find some more sources for the Rumor part if we can. As far as the Galaxy thing, I remember reading or seeing a video review where they said Galaxy builds off the main gameplay of 64, but I don't remember where I found it. I'd like to briefly mention that with a source. I'd really like to knock this thing out but between work and the deletion of "locations in Super Mario RPG" I'm a little tapped right now. I'll keep looking and hopefully we can get it up for FAC sometime early next week. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC))

Hey, sorry I got caught up with some other stuff. I took a wikibreak to try to clear my head and get caught up with my real life too. I've done some more editing to SM64 and I think it should stand a good chance at FAC. If you could do another copy edit of it some time over the next couple of days, we can could nominate it this weekend. I really want to get this back up to FA and get it out of the back of my mind. What do say? (Guyinblack25 ^talk) —Preceding comment was added at 20:05, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

We did it, thanks for the help. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:36, 4 February 2008 (UTC))

Likewise. It's been a long time, but finally SM64 is back to FA status. Great work! The Prince (talk) 16:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

My thoughts exactly, I'm glad to see it back to FA. Our hardwork paid off.

I was thinking about maybe asking the the editor that record the Spoken Word version of it to re-record it, but don't know which editor listed on Image:Super Mario 64.ogg is the one that recorded the current one. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 03:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC))

It's a great idea if you'll be able to tell him. I'm not sure, but I'm guessing that User:FutureNJGov is behind the audio file. Maybe if you contact him? The Prince (talk) 14:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Centralized TV Episode Discussion

Over the past months, TV episodes have been reverted by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others.

Thanks, mate. It's nice to get such positive feedback. Great work on both articles, by the way. The Prince (talk) 18:00, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I just think it's nice to tell people when the're really helping. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 18:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: IGN character biographies

I don't see why not. It is created and published by IGN and is not a user created page. IGN is seen as a reliable source, so I see no apparent problems. I've already used a couple myself. Cloud's reception section Riku and Sora's character info and Roxas's character info (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC))

To be honest, I'm not that familiar with FFVII and thus don't really know where to find such info. Most of the info I know about it is from editing the related pages. I would try looking at the references used for the development of other FFVII characters and the FFVII games. Though I think some of them were magazines or Ultimania books. The other alternative is to try searching google for combinations of words like "Sephiroth", "Kitase", and "Nomura". Sorry, I hope that helps some. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC))

Wow, that looks a lot better than what it use to be. Nice work. Depending on the reviewer, it would either pass or be very close to passing. The two main things I would do would be to trim down the info in the Kingdom Hearts appearances and add some more sources through out the whole article. I think those two things would seal the deal for passing GA. The other thing I would consider would maybe condensing the "Advent Children", "Last Order", and "Crisis Core" into a "Related Final Fantasy VII appearances" section. That worked fine with Aerith, but Sephiroth has a bit more info in the separate sections so that may not work as well for his article. I guess use your best judgment for that. Other than that, it's looking very good. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC))

Sure, no problem. Any time. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC))

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Hi there. Thank you for responding to the AfD. I have replied to your comment. I understand you belived the article was too short. That was true. I have edited the article. Please feel free to take a look at this edit. Would you please consider changing your vote? If not, please tell me what would you like to see for us to keep the article, and I will do my best to comply. Thank you! Taric25 (talk) 19:21, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I stand by my vote. At its current state it's just a big mishmash of information. There is no need for quotes in refs, just add the necessary elements. The Prince (talk) 19:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I am asking what would you like to see for us to keep the article, so that I may change its current state. What would that be? Thank you. Taric25 (talk) 18:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

FF7 Transliteration Issue

You do realize that giving the transliteration for a title (i.e. not a translation, but the conversion of the sounds of one alphabet to another)is just redundant, don't you? I mean, you can keep the article as it is, but as it currently stands, it makes the article look like it was written by an amateur. Drumpler (talk) 22:29, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

What vandalism means

"Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia". This is what it means. These reverts, were obviously not appropiate and I'd appreciate it if you didn't treat my good faith edits the same, like you did here. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The images display artwork done by Nomura. Therefore it says that in the caption. Please don't revert again, or I'll have to contact an admin. The Prince (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Contact an admin. all you desire but I won't allow you to call good faith edits vandalism. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 21:59, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Guys, this honestly looks to be a minor misunderstanding. We're talking about the difference between "Cloud Strife artwork by Tetsuya Nomura" and "Cloud Strife by [[Tetsuya Nomura]]". A single word and wikilink. This has obviously escalated out of hand. I did not see any indication that Prince reverted because of vandalism, the undo option is not only used for vandalism. He also asked to discuss the issue. Both of you are obviously competent editors that have been around for a while. Is this really the best course given the content in question? (Guyinblack25 ^talk 22:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC))

Sesshomaru (talk · contribs) asked me to look into the mini-edit war at Cloud Strife (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and Sephiroth (Final Fantasy) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views).

Some comments (posted to both User talk:Sesshomaru and User talk:The Prince of Darkness)

• Nobody has vandalised anything. All edits to Cloud Strife and Sephiroth (Final Fantasy) by both of you on 5 February were patently in good faith.
• Both of you are at fault for not explaining your reverts on the articles' talk pages. Reverts of good faith edits should always be justified - automatic edit summaries generated by undoing are insufficient.
• These are heavily edited articles that have a great deal of interested editors. Asking for other opinions on the talk pages would have been quickly effective and avoided all this nonsense.
• Sesshomaru, if you strongly believe that the phrase "artwork by" is best then explain why on the talk pages.
• The Prince of Darkness, if you strongly believe that the phrase "artwork by" is unsuitable then explain why on the talk pages.
• Do not continue the edit war. Discuss.

CIreland (talk) 22:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

How about we take this to either Cloud's or Sephiroth's talk page, either one is fine with me. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 22:47, 5 February 2008 (UTC))

Sesshomaru suggested I pick the talk page. I've started a discussion here: Talk:Sephiroth (Final Fantasy)/Archive 2#Caption. See you there. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 22:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC))

Super Mario Galaxy

Do not revert. The spoiler in question not only is unmarked in a section which does not imply would contain spoilers, but also is not related to the gameplay, and qualifies as guide content.

Thank you. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not censored. The Prince (talk) 11:37, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Common sense is not censorship. Why is there a spoiler in a section that should not logically have spoilers in it? You've not once given anything even remotely resembling that may be considered an applicable rationale to include a spoiler in a section that does not at any point indicate that a spoiler would be in that section, I have indicated why it cannot. You basically say "Wikipedia's not censored so I can do anything I want to!", what in the world does censorship have to do with removing content that doesn't belong in a certain section, as well as removing guide content? Why don't you actually present a position and an argument instead of mindlessly reverting because you demand your writing remain for the ages? - A Link to the Past (talk) 15:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I only reverted you once. BTW you are the only one who thinks it should be removed. Please discuss it on the article's talk page and not here. PS: On your user page it says you've retired. Might want to remove that. The Prince (talk) 15:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

"Critically acclaimed"

SMRPG World

So, let me guess - the reason you refuse to explain why you're reverting is you have no good reason? What does discussing the crisp, advanced visuals have to do with the world of SMRPG any more than it does the characters? If they don't reference the world of SMRPG, at what point is there any relevance to the world of SMRPG? All they said was that it looked good. - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Removing content like you did is considered vandalism. Whether or not it should be there can be discussed on the article's talk page. The Prince (talk) 19:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

It is not vandalism. Read the vandalism policy. And may I point out that I have opened the discussion you asked for on the article's talk page? If I don't get an argument from you explain why you reverted, I will revert back to my edit. Only fair. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

The box uses abbreviations like "GSpot" instead of GameSpot and "Fam" instead of Famitsu. You can check out the other abbreviations here. The Prince (talk) 10:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

FFV

I'm not sure what your comment meant, "it doesn't illustrate its purpose"...doesn't it show Exdeath dying? Thanks much! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

It might sound a little confusing, but what I'm trying to say is that (for me) it doesn't look like Exdeath's dying (note: haven't played the game). It looks more like a big pile of green sludge, and as such it doesn't mean anything to me. But that's maybe just me. The Prince (talk) 18:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok cool, I cut the image. Also, I put a question about trimming the plot on the FAC of this article, so let me know what you think! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:40, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Images

I assume you're referring to some edits FightingStreet did to some Final Fantasy game articles. They are technically right, but a bit wrong too. The MoS image guideline they are trying to comply with is "Do not place left-aligned images directly below second-level (===) headings, as this disconnects the heading from the text it precedes. Instead, either right-align the image, remove it, or move it to another relevant location." The edits they did does make the articles comply with the guideline.

However, another MoS image guideline is "Multiple images in the same article can be staggered right-and-left." The key word is can, which I interpret as being optional. However, I'm sure applying both guidelines would be preferred. See Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II for an application of both. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC))

You're right, that disjoints the image from the relevant content. I think FightingStreet is trying to follow this guideline, "Generally, right-alignment is preferred to left- or center-alignment." However, the term generally implies that there are exceptions; I'm sure this would be one of them. The guidelines also state "The following general guidelines should be followed in the absence of a compelling reason to do otherwise." Keeping the image with the relevant content seems like a compelling reason to do otherwise to me. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 17:58, 7 March 2008 (UTC))

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Regarding your revert of several edits, I don't appreciate you reverting MY edit and lumping it in with someone else's and calling it vandalism.

You made a big mess in the article. That needs no explanation. The Prince (talk) 12:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me, all I did was move an image. You have me confused with the guy that screwed up sales figures and references. That wasn't me.----Asher196 (talk) 18:02, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

You moved the image to the left of the TOC. That did not look good and the image was not in its relevant section, so I reverted it. Ok? The Prince (talk) 19:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Game manuals

Hey, I remember you mentioning that you only had the Swedish manual to Mario Sunshine. In case you had some other games produced by Nintendo and needed the English version of that manual, here's a link to Nintendo's support page for Nintendo System and Game Instruction Manuals. It has some manuals in pdf form, unfortunately one of them isn't Sunshine. I don't know how often they update it or if they'll take some down as others get put up, but I figured it might be of use to you. Hope it helps. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 20:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC))

Thank you very much, it's perfect. Even though Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion, or Wario World aren't included, it will be of much help, as I'm planning on making Mario Kart DS and Super Mario Galaxy (which are included) GAs. Again, thank you. The Prince (talk) 20:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Of the ones mentioned, I have the Mario Kart DS, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, and Luigi's Mansion manuals in English. If you need anything from that, let me know. Thanks. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 15:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

The English manuals for Super Mario Sunshine and Luigi's Mansion would be good, as a lot of the refs in the articles currently refer to the Swedish manual. Thank you. The Prince (talk) 15:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Now, I could check the references against the English and then replace (Swedish) with (English). Would that be okay? From the article you work one, we seem to have similar taste in games, so there's a good chance that I'll have the manuals for similar games too. Thanks. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 15:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

That would be great. Although, it won't be necessary to add "English", as the language parametre is only for non-English sources. The page number will do. Thanks. The Prince (talk) 16:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. Strange, the Swedish version of SMS corresponded directly to the English version but Luigi's Mansion was different. Nevermind. Drop a note in future if you need anything else. Happy to help. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 16:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much. The refs look a lot better without the "Swedish" in them. However, there is one more Swedish ref in each of the plot and setting sections of SMS and LM. Could you please check them out? The Prince (talk) 21:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Didn't see them. Fixed. Thanks. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 17:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: BrE to AmE

From MoS: If an article has evolved using predominantly one variety, the whole article should conform to that variety, unless there are reasons for changing it on the basis of strong national ties to the topic. In the early stages of writing an article, the variety chosen by the first major contributor to the article should be used, unless there is reason to change it on the basis of strong national ties to the topic. The game doesn't have any strong national ties, and from the looks of it, there weren't any major contributors before I came. I'll change it back, as the article developed properly under BrE. Thanks for pointing that out. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 07:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sometimes I feel like writing English-English instead of British-English to prove my point, because that's what it is. It's annoying when people try to change it back simply because they dislike seeing the spelling they're not used to. Happy editing. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 11:40, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The article originally used American English, it was Ashnard who changed it for no good reason (other than to fit his own personal opinions). The article was already well written, so he can't try and claim he was the major contributor to it. Later today (or tomorrow) I will change him back and give him the spelling warning. TJ Spyke 22:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. The main problem with this user is that he misinterprets everything people say. I said: "You are perfectly capable of doing it" to a user who wanted someone to do an edit for him. Link thought that was rude and disrespectful and answered with this statement. All I wanted to do was to let the user know that he was more than welcome to do the edit himself. Hopefully, though, Link has calmed down and forgotten it. Thanks.

Help

Hi, Prince, I hope you have a nice day. I have some bad news: A vandal is making disasters with the article Super Mario Sunshine; I am informing this to you because I know you helped the article become GA. The following is what happened across the latest sixteen versions of the article, you can check the at the History mode. It's a crazy story: Firstly, an IP user has deleted the Reception section to replace it for a totally-empty section named Headline Text; later on, the user changed Super Mario Sunshine for Super Mario Anal Penetration in the introduction text of the article; short later, he/she/it attempted to rename the article as Super Mario Fagshine, but thankfully did not have success with that. I then came and, without time to login, gave the vandalism advice in the article's talk page. However, no one replied (in fact, the article wasn't being edited by good users in that moment, so it remained defenseless against the vandal), then I acted and reverted with difficulty the vandal's actions and brough back the Reception section. What follows is even scarier: A registered user with a WEIRD name went to the Reception section and deleted all the criticism paragraph, replacing it with this: The game has received no criticism from reviewers; again, I went to (I think I forgot once more to login, due to the level of emergency) revert the edit and brough back the criticism paragraph. The damn vandal didn't give up and erased the portion of information about the Gamespot criticism against the game, replacing it with: The game has received very little criticism from reviewers. This time I logged in and reverted the change.

Unless the IP vandal user and the registered one are the same, I think we have two enemies to deal with: one who hates Super Mario Sunshine and one who praises is so much that can't accept the negative comments against the game; none of them can justify their atrocious edits and I'm honestly getting worried about the article, which may lost its GA status. Protecting the article will be of little use because one of the two vandals (if he/she is not the registered IP one) will be able to edit protected articles soon; the act of blocking might be needed in this case. sorry for this long text, but your help can save the day.--Twicemost (talk) 03:04, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Super Mario Land

I removed the plot heading because it was only one paragraph. Generally, when dealing with minimal plot, you just roll the content into the gameplay. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^(talk) 18:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Blue Dragon

Nice to meet you. We work well together, just wanted to say thanks with the help on the article.Gears Of War 21:59, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure thing. I saw that you sought help at the VG project talk page, and since Uematsu (my favorite composer) scored the game, I wanted to help out. However, I haven't played the game as I don't own an Xbox 360, so I may make some mistakes. If so feel free to revert. BTW, are the cast lists really necessary. I think they clutter up the article, and I noticed the voice actors aren't really notable at all. The Prince (talk) 22:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Cool. We can get rid of those sections. I just beat the game and decided to work on the article. Who ever started it didn't do such a good job keeping it stable, also I can help you get a awesome signature, mines is Gears Of War so do you want one with color and stuff or are you good with the one you have now?Gears Of War 05:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Yours is good, but I think I'll have mine plain. Thanks anyway. BTW, if you're able to write the characters section into prose, like in FF8#Characters and FF9#Characters, it will improve the article a lot. The Prince (talk) 08:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah thats wat Im working on next, just hold on a sec and next thing you know the characters sections will be awesome. If it's not done by today, tommorow.Gears Of War 14:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Alright. I noticed you added another box art. As per WP:NFC only one of them can stay, and I suggest the most commonly used box art be used. The Prince (talk) 15:58, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

 Done, the character section has been highly improved.Gears Of War 23:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

The article is now up for Peer Review.Gears Of War 00:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The character section has indeed improved, but it's still not written in prose. It's in a bulleted list form, and it's preferable that it's in prose form, like in FF8#Characters and FF9#Characters. One or two paragraphs describing the characters would look a lot better than a bulleted list, IMO. The Prince (talk) 09:37, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean it should be written in prose. I dont understand what that means(sorry I'm still in 7th grade lol).Gears Of War 03:30, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Do you mean I should write a List of Blue Dragon Characters article?Gears Of War 03:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay I have just finished the List of Blue Dragon Characters article but I have not moved it the mainspace yet. Please help me write the new character section in the Blue Dragon article, for help see User:Gears of War/List of Blue Dragon Characters.Gears Of War 14:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

You can see my draft of the characters section here. It's been trimmed a lot, but I think it fits better with the VG guidelines. It's modeled after FF8#Characters which I think is an excellent example of a good character section. If something is incorrect in my draft, feel free to edit. The Prince (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help dude! But my job has yet to be done. It still needs work. I wont give up to it hits GA.Gears Of War 22:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow, another one. Thank you very much, GoW. I appreciate it a lot. The Prince (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Super Mario Sunshine

I've notified an admin, Sephiroth BCR, about it.[2] I've never gone through the process of creating a case to investigate sock puppetry before. I'm hoping he has. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:44, 17 June 2008 (UTC))

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Titans (Crash of the Titans)

Since the nomination, I have found articles that deal exclusively with the Titans, such as this one. I also added an out of universe section on Titans_(Crash_of_the_Titans)#Creation. I believe that I can make still further such changes and therefore hope that you may reconsider your stance there. Even if you still feel that it doesn't merit an individual article, then I hope that you might at least conisder the possibilities of merging some of what I added and allowing for a merge and redirect based on these changes. Thanks. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 05:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

WP: GAN for Super Smash Bros.

Thank you so much for solving all the issues and problems on that article's GAN while I was away. I'm not sure if you knew it or anything...but, still. Thanks! I nominated it at GAN because I thought I'd be back before anyone took on the job, but Giggy acts fast... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haha169 (talk • contribs)

You're welcome. As a matter of fact I didn't address the last concern about expanding the reception section, but I for one think it's good enough for GA, and I think Giggy thought so as well. It will have to be expanded for FA though. The Prince (talk) 12:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Images?

Thanks for the compliment, Prince. If you don't mind, could you do me a favour relating to images in some Mario articles? I've never uploaded any my self, but noticed that you have to these type of articles. If possible, could you upload a single gameplay image for the following: Mario Power Tennis, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Mario Party 4, and Mario Party 5. Thanks, Prince. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 15:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll be honest with you: I'm not too good with images. But sure I'll try and find some good ones, and if the FURs are too vague or whatnot, I'll ask Guyinblack25 who's more familiar with these things. It may not be done immediately, as my Internet access is very restricted. The Prince (talk) 18:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Whatever you can, man. If you're having problems, then that's okay. Don't feel rushed too. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 19:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I think I've found some images that are usable. Before I upload them though, I'd like you to take a look at them and see if you think they're ok. The images are: MPT: [3], MGTT: [4], MP4: [5], and MP5: [6]. I had some trouble finding a good image for MPT. I'll also add that I've only played the two latter games, so the first ones may not be too good. It's up to you. The Prince (talk) 20:45, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Excellent; they're all great. I'd give you a barnstar if I hadn't already given you one. If you could upload them, then that would be great. Cheers. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 21:47, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I have now added them in their respective articles. I'll let you do the captions, though. The Prince (talk) 15:36, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll write the captions when I start writing the articles. Ashnard _Talk ^Contribs 12:27, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
