Votes for deletion/Continuum calculator

Hello JiFish, thanks much for discussing the article. Since I am interested to keep the article I have overworked it a bit and I have added an explanation to the vote list. I would be glad if you had another look. Thanks. -- Karsten88 15:16, 21 May 2005 (CEST)

I have changed my vote, but I suspect this will get deleted anyway. Good Luck! --JiFish 13:27, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

clarifications about a removed link

Hallo JiFish, I am the user who posted the link to a fan site about Lucasgames that you deleted. I wanted to specify that I am not the author of the site, so he cannot be blamed for "advertising his site" (which is not a commercial site anyway). Indeed, I posted that link because I saw other similar links to fan sites in articles about Lucasgames, and thought that adding one about a site I found interesting was not against the guidelines of Wikipedia.

Graphic censorship

Thanks for the compliment. Yeah it's true that there is only one image for other thing than nudity, and I don't think there was further censorship, that's why there is more nudity censor than anything else. One might consider removing one or two, but I have trouble myself choosing which one as not one seems more important than the other. Maybe there's one that's more important now, Hibana added the Tool monster, which is the final battle against Kefka part 2. In this one, three instance of nudity were covered on the same screen. I was supposed to add this one originally but forgot (I was not feeling too well earlier). I suggest you either remove one or two yourself if you feel some must be removed, but not the tool which I renamed to Final battle part 2, this one is more important than others. – DarkEvil 21:43, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Shadow Hearts

Thank you for the thank you! That page just needed cheering up, it looked a bit depressed really. I'm currently just adding random pictures all over the site - it only took me half a year to work out how to do it... Dragonfly888 23:40, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Image:Final Fantasy VII Map.jpg

Oh, sorry, I wasn't aware of the effect it could do, but it brought a good thing for the article as it made a user (precicely Cuahl) decide to upgrade the old map. Overwriting over the old one with the map Cuahl will bring based on this one will be o.k., will it? Or is it a special case, needing the old one to be deleted completely because it wasn't right to claim fair use? – DarkEvil 14:52, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

fair use rationale

Since your double checking fair use rationale for games, can you double check the pictures i just did for Super Mario 64 and Link (Legend of Zelda)?--ZeWrestler ^Talk 20:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Cedros Article has been edited

Hello,

I updated the Cedros Trinidad article and it has been posted under I think Cedros Trinidad/temp The copyrighted passages have been removed and replaced in my own words. Please let me know if there are sany further problems with this article. Cedros is in the international spotlight right now with the threat of a 340,000 metric ton Aluminum Smelter project by Us Aluminum Giant Alcoa. If this project is allowed to happen, it will be the end of Cedros. Most people never even heard of Cedros and even less people know about the Cedrosan people dating back to pre-historic times (the original settlers to the Caribbean Islands) We want people to know what Cedros is.

Final Fantasy

I don't think there is a policy here, so basically common sense should prevail. If there is no policy stating that as soon as anyone puts an afd tag on any article, someone else has to go through the arduous process of doing an actual listing, then no one has to. I would say this is particularly true for an anon. If no reason for deletion is even given, I don't see how a nomination can be valid even if it is completed by another user. This also encourages people not to finish the process, even for valid afds (if all I have to do is stick a tag on an article and someone else will do all the work, I'm going to be tempted to start doing that; doing a proper nomination is time consuming). Now if someone actually starts an afd page, but just doesn't post it on the main afd page, that's a different story. I guess the only possibly contentious point is "can one remove the afd tag?" Obviously some time has to be allowed (you don't want to remove the tag a minute after its added, while the user is still writing up the reason for deletion), but if a half hour or so goes by and no other action is taken, there is no reason the tag should stay (bad faith CSD tags are removed all the time). However, if someone agrees that the page probably should be deleted, they should continue the process and treat it as their own nomination. Since I can't see how there can be anything really controversial about any of this, I see no reason why this shouldn't be followed by all users. AFD is overcrowded without bad faith noms being added strictly for procedural purposes. That's my take on it. I hope you agree. -R. fiend 16:55, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

That's why common sense is so important here. "What's the worst that will happen if I remove this tag?" The worst is probably someone could come along and say "you shouldn't have done that" and they'll put the tag back. If that ever happens, let me know and I'll smack them upside the head and tell them not to be ridiculous. Good luck.-R. fiend 17:10, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Pogs

My doubt of the origin story: it sounds like one of those cutesy stories that travels around by word of mouth because it is cute. Also there was no citation for the origin of it. A link to a newspaper or some such is IMHO necessary

What is confusing about the article?

Downfallout deletion

In response to your query, I've been cutting material from the Downfallout article to prevent it from falling under Wikipedia's vanity deletion clause. I've removed more specific information relating to the company, such as a link to their website and a mention of their current project, and tried to keep the material in the context of their inception and relationship to the 2004 presidential election. I've also cut back on the number of internal links in the article.

Since that is the case, could you restore this article to it's initial form? I still believe this article is notable, but maybe only because of the game itself and it's unique association with a US presidential election. Do you think an article about the game would be more noteworthy, or possibly make the Downfallout article notable by emphasizing how the notoriety and success of the game was only made possible by one of the most contentious elections in American history? I don't believe there was a cellphone game inspired by the 2000 election or even the Monica Lewinsky scandal, but if there had been, I would count them as noteworthy and historic.

I addressed this a bit on the discussion page

You removed an article that was in dispute a couple of days ago that's been there for days with no problem. You stated it was duplicate material, which part was, but the second half wasn't. As I told another user I didn't come here to be an editor, it was to put that article there which I will defend to the end. I was accused of pushing my site, which is untrue.

I am going to stick around and learn this Wiki bit as I have experience as an editor and could really get into this.

I have a question for you. Do you know much about Jack Thompson? Another. Are you a gamer? If you answer no, I don't know why you're bothering with this.

I'm not trying to come off "bitchy", just trying to clear things up. Maluka 13:40, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Final Fantasy III logo

It was part of a promotional magazine scan. I simply cleaned it up a bit. I don't remember where I got the original image, but there's another scan of the same material on RPGamer. – Seancdaug 02:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Images

Wikipedia () does not allow non-commercial licensed images. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 15:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Could you unpack that a touch? The image suggested can't be used because it's non-commercial? Why and where is the policy made clear? Marskell 15:45, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes: "Most importantly, derivative work, commercial use, and use in non-educational contexts must be permitted." That's a damn shame. I'll re-clarify with the person who sent me approval. Perhaps they will accept "we are using it as you wish, but cannot promise others will do likewise." I'd been really hoping to get my hands on that pic too. Marskell 16:24, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Hello

Hey, nice to see you here too. :) --ZeroOne 17:14, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Confused

I'm new at this, so please bare with me. I got 2 messages saying I was advertising and another saying I was spamming.

I'm not the owner of the VGMuseum (the site I was linking to), but I do contribute there. I was just adding ending screenshots links to various games featured here.

I wasn't putting links on top of the older ones, I wasn't putting snazzier links, I wasn't mentioning the name of the site on the link.

What I'm guilty, I guess, is linking to the same site each time. But what should I do if every game has a different ending and each ending is found on the VGMuseum.

Should I not link each game to its respective ending? Let me know, thanks. ReyVGM 14:27, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Lol

If you think my post was funny enough, considering adding it to WP:BJ. And that was caused by sobriety as I havent has any mind altering substances for a while. ;) --Arm 23:05, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Memetic Engineering

Thank you for the redirect consideration. However the original article is also written by a consortium who currently teach this type of social engineering. The original definition Memetic Engineering although correct in definition was unclear and specefic as to what Memetic Engineering or what an Memetic Engineer does. Also a clear example should be give for readers who have a limited understanding on the topic. A clearer and more precise definition was given to prevent any misunderstandings.
