Unreal tournament copyediting

Hey there; I recommend sitting on the article until several weeks after its release date; that way, things settle down and a few of us can look at the article without constant additions and changes. That's your best bet toward getting it featured. — Deckiller 05:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Still a lot of speculation on what's gonna be in the game. Epic's been hush hush about it. Forums, site, mailing lists... very little details. Torinir _{( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options )} 08:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

SOF UK Mediation talk

Hey there, I'm just trying to think of a place to hide it or get rid of it completely. The mediation was ended a while back with a merge into another related article and the original article was deleted at WP:AFD a while back. I'm just cleaning up some things in my userspace and recalled this was closed a long time ago. Torinir _{( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options )} 22:45, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

It's not associated with any existing article? How about a subpage of the talk page of whatever article it was merged into? —Wknight94 (talk) 01:36, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

That would work. Torinir _{( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options )} 19:02, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Your signature

Hello there, I was wondering if you would please modify your signature to conform to the guidelines laid out at Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages. The general guidelines are that signatures shouldn't contain images, they shouldn't contain unnecessary internal links or any external links, and they shouldn't be unnecessarily long in Wiki source. The reasoning for this final bit is that overly long signatures tend to overwhelm the actual comments in edit mode, making it hard to track down and respond to specific comments. You can fix your signature by removing any images and external links, any unnecessary links (like links to Wikipedian organizations, articles, or subpages in userspace), and removing excessive color, font, and formatting code. Thank you. --Cyde Weys 00:55, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Stream International

It was nothing but fluff, nothing about the company as a company, just ad-speak. If you want to write a non-biased article, then please go ahead. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

9/11: The Big Lie

I have now totally revamped/stubified this article in order to deal with the POV issues. Please take a look at the new version if you like. Thanks, Bwithh 08:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

RfC opened on editor conduct

I've just opened an RfC on myself for my conduct in a dispute that you were involved with concerning the Gary Weiss article. You took part in the AfD discussion for the article. The RfC is located here and I welcome your comments or questions. CLA 21:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Deleted GraalOnline article maliciously recreated secretly in German...

The GraalOnline article that was deleted due to WP:WEB, NPOV, and other issues noted in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/GraalOnline has been secretly reposted at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graal_Online , with little to no changes except for the language translation... The English page was nearly unanimously voted for removal and barring any significant changes should not be allowed back in any language... Vipercat (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7

Hi there!  :)

As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 18:50, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey great, thanks! I appreciate your enthusiasm.  :) BOZ (talk) 21:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey man, I understand - don't take on anything more than what you think you can handle! Rather than worrying about making everything perfect, sometimes the best thing you can do is find little things to do here and there. :) There are other RPG products that have been selected to be involved in the release as well, if you're more knowledgeable about other subject areas, let alone the 99% of the subject matters that have nothing to do with gaming.  ;) BOZ (talk) 08:12, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

• Thank you for your recent participation in the AFD which closed with a snow result of Keep. Unfortunately, the nominator is not content with this consensus and is now proposing that the article be merged. Please see discussion. Colonel Warden (talk) 20:59, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Unreal Engine comparsion image

Hello there. There is a question about image Image:Unreal_Engine_Comparison.jpg used in Unreal Engine article. I want to use it in Russian wikipedia (ru:Unreal Engine) to replace three fair use images with this one. I'm afraid that too hi-res image is unacceptable maybe even in comparing graphical quality. Just I'm not sure and want to ask, were there any problems with cause (reason?) of fair use. Also, any internet source of this image for emergency cause? Sorry for my English :) If it's not hard for you, could you answer on my talk page (add new topic) ru:User talk:Jazz 80.93.176.70 (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Difference between non-profit and not for profit

Sorry I should have mentioned that the group's page did confirm that they were non-profit. I checked before I edited it, but this wasn't the reason I changed it. I thought non-profit and not for profit were the same thing and not for profit was simply an awkward way of saying non-profit. Thanks for letting me know there is a difference, I probably would have incorrectly edited other articles.

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Dabomb87 (talk) 05:41, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

2010 ArbCom elections

Hello Torinir, I am Skomorokh, one of the volunteer coordinators for the ArbCom elections. I've done a quick check of your contributions, and it doesn't seem like you have made at least 1,000 mainspace (i.e. article) edits before November 14, 2010, which is the threshold for eligibility listed instructions. Am I overlooking something? Regards, Skomorokh 09:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

You would be correct. You can withdraw my name. Besides, real life decided it wanted to demand my attention for a while. Torinir ( Ding my phone My support calls E-Support Options ) 17:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

GT5 locked?

Hi there, the article for Gran Turismo 5 appears to be locked, and nobody on the talk page is paying any notice at all. This looks to be one of the biggest videogames of the year, and there is lots lacking in the article - any chance you could do something to get it editable again?

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.71 (talk) 20:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
