Amadeus orchestra

This orchestra is well known in the UK, and its founder has to be notable. I have removed your {{speedy}}tag.--Anthony.bradbury 21:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

edit conflict

There was no need to rush with your tags on the latest earthquake article. Be patient next time with new articles, please. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 22:05, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Metalstorm

Kindly remove your "too long" tag from Metalstorm - I originally wrote the article and yes I know it's too long, but I'm planning to shorten it in due time. Adding that tag just creates a raid of idiots who'll start deleting everything randomly or summarize it badly and it looks like crap and makes no sense. And I know because I've dealt with it on other overly-long articles I tend to write. So I ask you to delete your tag and give me a chance to fix it when I get that chance. Thanks. Cyberia23 05:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Whatever, I see you're a hardcase. Cyberia23 19:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I can always use the back history when I clean it up. It just makes things easier to fix when it's not "advertised" with a tag - if you know what I mean. Cyberia23 19:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

List of Wii games

Hey there RobJ,

I've noted that you've contributed before to the List of Wii games. Just wanted to let you know that the list is getting ready for Featured status and is currently undergoing a Peer Review. If you can take a moment to look over the article and add your suggestions/comments for improvement here, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks! -Digiwrld1 21:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Deleting Lists

It would be nice if you gave someone the courtesy of adding a short explanation to their article's talk page as to why you think it should be deleted; personally, I do think my page (List_of_memorials_in_video_games) is of use and I've had several comments about it from Usenet.

P. --Paul Moloney 18:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Why did you try to delete the Nights cameo page? You said that lots of characters have cameos, but Sonic, Mario and Link have their own pages as well. Nights has a lot of cameos on many consoles, so most of use believe it should stay. OBEY STARMAN 11:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Outside comment on adding personal warnings

A lot of us do it to prevent edit wars. Simply asking people to comment on the talk page about something if they want to remove it is fine, and in no way works to control an article. If someone doesn't say why they removed something, then the person has every right to revert them. BTW, I agree with you on this particular set of cruft. I just thought that I should comment on the warning issue. Peace, -- The Hybrid 05:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

TJ edits in good faith; he just makes mistakes every now and again, as we all do. He does have some control issues, but that is because he has been here for a while, and rarely ever makes a big mistake, so he is used to being proven right eventually. Adding warnings may seem wrong to you, but it has worked for me, him, and others many times in the past to promote discussion rather than edit war, so it will remain in use. Peace, -- The Hybrid 05:50, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I wasn't trying to control anything. It's just that I had requested before that if you want to remove it to start a discussion, but you didn't. I figured you would do it if I put it in the article itself. TJ Spyke 06:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

There are 3 users (including myself) who think the note in WM23 should stay, you are the only one i'm seeing who is against it. Why do you insist on removing it over and over? TJ Spyke 21:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Big Top Pee Wee

You tagged it for expansion but nothing is mentioned on the talk page on what needs expanding. It has a cast list, quick synopisis and some links. Since you tagged it what do you think its lacking. I could work on it if I saw where to go with it. Thanks. --Xiahou 15:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I am reverting because I am following policy and you are not supposed to report title changes that are not official. It is hardly a content dispute. -- Scorpion 04:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:Wii points

I was thinking an RfC, especially as current discussion seems to be much more evenly divided than some of the previous ones. I would wait a day or 2 first to see how the discussion pans out before considering starting one though. It really is a difficult situation as there is no policy or guideline (that I can think of) that really applies to something like prices. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 23:10, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Trivia section in Road to Europe

List of video game collector and special editions

Firstly, I dont believe anyone put any notice of nomination for deletion on the page's talk page because I recently edited this article and saw nothing of a nomination for deletion.

Secondly, I dont understand or see how it could pass it's original nomination with flying colors only to be deleted a year later - possibly because nobody saw it's nomination for deletion?

Thirdly, I want 2 things: access to the last state of the page before deletion as a record of all the work that went into it before deletion, and also to challenge this new decision. How do I do both?

Addressing your specific concerns:

A massive list (was it really that big?)

of games that include "bonus discs" and so on isn't notable for Wikipedia. (Enough people though it was the first time around)

Imagine if there was a DVD list like this: it would be even larger and more cluttered. (imagine if it was a list of all the people in world! irrelevant point - this article was NOT about dvds so dont make that fallacious arguement).

Listing things like this isn't very encyclopedic. Individual articles for the games list the notable special editions already. (WRONG. Far and away in most cases they are not mentioned whatsoever, or if they are there is no information about what distinguished them from the regular release. This was covered in the past)

This is just a listcruft/fancruft of any game that has a second disc, came with something special and so on (notable or not). (any game that had a secondary commercial release of limited production.)

Hey

A while back you told us at the Simpsons Wikiproject that The Simpsons Movie article was in pretty bad shape. Well I'd just like to update you on the fact, that it now longer is! After two days of work from Maitch and I, it is now a lot more informative, and the trailer information has been reduced to just one paragraph. Anyway, just thought you might like to know, that your pointing out of the fact has yeilded results. Gran² 21:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Xbox Live Arcade

Please do not make radical changes when there is an ongoing discussion on that subject. Instead, please join the conversation on the talk page for the article. Big Merl 23:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of subpages

RobJ,

In regards to your recent message, I'm not sure I understand your reasons for suggesting I'm keeping articles on my user page as "webhosting". I had originally created the PWI 500 pages to serve as a basis for a wanted articles list for WP:PW and have spent considerable amount of time correcting disambig pages and such as requested by users of that project. Also, like other editors, I believe I do have the right to have articles I've created moved to my user page and especially when I've moved them voluntarily in order to reference these articles when other editors have placed prod tags regarding their notability (instead of contesting them on afd). Most recently, Maryland Championship Wrestling was one of those articles on my user page which I've since restored. MadMax 06:36, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

PPV Win Percent

If you have any ideas on how it could be an article, I am open to them. Besides, it is useful info and took several months to do. I'm not trying to use WP as a webhosting service. Even if it was never gonna be an article, WP:USERPAGE only says that is frowned upon, not that it isn't allowed. TJ Spyke 01:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

ALON Project

Hi, I switched your {{db-repost}} back to a {{db-spam}}. It it my understanding that repost only applies to articles that were XfD'ed. To be honest, I'm on the edge of bringing it to AfD instead, to have more consensus (the user is quite angry at the deletion). -- lucasbfr ^talk 18:55, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Scorpio's WWE release

Hey Rob this is InfoFan, thanks for the heads up but it was known that even though Mr. Skagg's wasn't appearing on television, he was in fact under contract to WWE and training down in OVW awaiting to be called up to the main roster. So it was actually indeed his second stint with the company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by InfoFan (talk • contribs)

Request Permission

Okay I understand what your policy says. Well may I go ahead and add Scorpio's release date from his first stint with company when he was an actual member of the roster then? Note: I don't have the actual release date only the year which was 1999. InfoFan 22:10, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia guidelines re: User Talk pages

[1] Read all relevant information before making empty threats to have users blocked. I've taken the liberty to remove your warnings having seen them, and I'm fully within my rights to do so. Remember, you're so concerned with acting in a polite of constructive manner, and yet you started things with calling the work of several other editors' "garbage" - which is specifically advised against doing at Wikipedia:Etiquette. Reap what you sow; don't go making trouble. Deusfaux 09:48, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Response to edit on The Snuke

Got your message on deleting trivia tag. Was deleted because the article did not at the time contain a "Trivia" section, as the tag implies, and all notes appeared to be organised into coherent reference sections at that point. South Park is a reference-heavy show and all references seemed germane, with no need to be integrated into the article. By the way, sorry if this is userpage vandalism - is this how to message Wikipedians properly? I'm merely an occasional cleaner-up and contributor. Also no need to threaten me with vandalism, although I presume that's a standard copy-paste warning. All the best Catachresis 00:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I've started writing an update guide here Wikipedia:Gaming Collaboration of the week/Update guide. I'll flesh it out tomorrow so it's more clear. Thanks for helping out. Cheers, JACOPLANE • 2007-05-21 22:53

Talkheader

Regarding this edit, please note that the {{Talkheader}} template should only be used when needed. The instructions for the template say "Do not add this template to every talk page. In particular, it should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages." (which is the case here) Pagrashtak 21:05, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Prices

As far as the price guide thing goes, you may just want to restart discussion on the WT:NOT page. I don't really think much progress was being made on the project talk page. Basically all that was determined was that consensus to add them did not exist, but there was also no consensus to remove them. I would suggest Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Policies, either linking to the specific discussion that was already started or starting a new one. I'm not sure how many people actaully watch that page though, so I would also post to WP:VPP. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 21:08, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

• I think there was a lot of discussion on the topic, and I'm rather surprised that the policy page wasn't changed to reflect that. Prices are, in general, trivia. >Radiant< 11:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I saw the edit summary, I ignored it. Hornswaggle was a JB196 puppet. –– Lid^(Talk) 04:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

My comments

I am just doing the same thing you have been doing. You said you wouldn't stop trying to get them removed, so how is it any different if I say I won't stop until they are put back in? Maybe I can phrase my comments better, but I have not done anything worse than you have. Actually, I haven't gone around to every possible page I can demanding for them to be put back in (like you did when you went to WP:VG, WP:AN, etc. demanding for them to be removed).
