Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Perpetual Wake, 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.

Image copyright problem with Image:IndianaJonesFranchise.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:IndianaJonesFranchise.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 01:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
Image copyright problem with Image:BatmanInterrogatesTheJoker.jpg
Hi DarthBotto!
We thank you for uploading Image:BatmanInterrogatesTheJoker.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Gnomecover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Gnomecover.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) 05:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Mousesports
- I notified you because looking at the edit history of Mousesports, half of the non-IP edits were from you, therefore it seemed appropriate to let you know that "An article that you have been involved in editing" was up for deletion. If you don't care, I am sorry for bothering you. -- The Red Pen of Doom 03:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Your edits made on July 9, 2008 (UTC) to Mousesports
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Mousesports. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. 151.200.237.53 (talk) 18:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Spotlight relaunch
Some users have decided to try and relaunch the spotlight project, and I am informing all users that were on the previous list of participants.
We thought that, rather than discuss it, it would be more effective to simply start, and try to make it work again. Therefore, we are currently working on an article.
Anyone is welcome to get involved, so please come to the #wikipedia-spotlight channel on the freenode IRC network (see the IRC tutorial for help with IRC). You can get instant access using freenode webchat.

Fair use rationale for File:Sk logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sk logo.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Re: Dota
The thing is, Dota 2 isn't exactly a direct sequel--some of the original authors have gone on to create games that could also be called sequels, for instance, and Valve /= IceFrog itself. Either way, DotA is DotA, and a sequel doesn't deserve any major mention in the original article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 21:19, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, you and I have worked together pretty well for the last few months to keep Defense of the Ancients article clean and orderly. Despite some small differences in opinions, I'm still interested in seeing the article continue to improve. DarthBotto talk•cont 02:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
- Depending on the amount of information when the game is closer to release, it might make sense to move some of the trademark info from "Development" to a short "Sequel" section at the bottom of the info so it's a more natural outtro to what's there, but I think we should probably wait a little while for more info. If you've got a problem with my edits, let me know—I fully admit that I'm a bit protective of these article since I am or used to be the only guy working on them back in the day, and I probably don't play nice as often as I should :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 18:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
HYSTERICAL Warning... (from Immunmotbluescreen) :P
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Heroes of Newerth. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
It makes me sad to see how far you are prepared to go in order to promote DotA 2 and multimillion-dollar Valve Corporation. However your immoral censoring attempt didn't go unnoticed. As you already knew your link in this edit Revision as of 23:04, 5 November 2010 does not even mention Action-RTS. I'll correct all MOBA games so that the infoboxes shows MOBA as genre instead.--Immunmotbluescreen (talk) 20:03, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
- First of all, read Wikipedia:Vandalism before you post unverified and unreliable "warnings" to me, you'll find that referencing a first-party consensus for a debated genre is reliable until one that is more reliable exists. In this case, the word from IceFrog and Valve Corporation trumps out what a HoN fan site describes as a "MOBA". I was the original creator of the Dota 2 page and it is thanks to myself and the administrator David Fuchs that the Defense of the Ancients page is what it is today. Furthermore, I would encourage you to look into the Wikipedia community's view point on the Dota (genre) talk page on this subject before you single me out as a vandal, which I might say is insulting since I have been editing Wikipedia long before you have and have far more experience with this kind of business.
- Please do not send me more of your "warnings". You may attempt to undo my edits, but you will see other Wikipedia users revert back to mine, simply because you are basing your threats off of hearsay. Vandalism does not constitute making you sad, so don't pull this crap again. DarthBotto talk•cont 00:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
