Bemani

Hi, could you take a look at Category talk:Bemani? I'm proposing some changes, and since you're one of the best contributors to Bemani articles I believe your opinion would really matter there. --Kamek 19:59, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

mathNEWS

Re: Request for Wiki assistance.

Funny, I used to contribute to SciNotes. I've never setup a wiki before; I've only contributed to this one. So I wouldn't have any idea of how to set one up. I would indeed like to know since I would like to set one up for myself, but I haven't had the time to sit down and figure it out. TimothyPilgrim 02:27, Sep 25, 2004 (UTC)

Bemani

I hate to say that your edit is not a good edit at all, the category Bemani artists is for composers who contributed music to the Bemani games. This article also serves as a general introduction for the category of Bemani games.

The category links are prposefully placed there.

I am reverting the edits. SYSS Mouse 22:07, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I really don't know anything about Bemani, except what I read here on Wikipedia. It is not common practice to use links to categories inside the articles and this is the reason for my edit. Revert if you want. However, Bemani should be categorised in some way and I think this article is well inside the scope of Category:Bemani video games. _R_ 23:08, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

mathNEWS

Actually, when I made that change, I was just looking at the syntax... figured you knew what you were doing by italicizing it. Looking at the mathNEWS website, they seem to be doing it with the italics, but as mathNEWS rather then mathNEWS. We might want to switch it to that, for consistancy's sake, if nothing more. Arcuras 04:37, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)

DDR Freak

Considering the contents it has so far, I don't think it's worth an article. The only point in favor of it IMO is the fact of it being the #1 Google hit (which proves it is a fairly big website, thus possibly deserving an article... if there's something to write about it). --Kamek 04:41, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

I doubt it neither. What I think is that it WILL NEVER become articcle-worthy. #1 Google does not mean anything. Maybe a subsection in DDR mentioning the effect of DDR Freak in the popularity. But that's it. SYSS Mouse 04:53, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Uncharted Waters

I have actually only played New Horizons (UW2) in English, so much of it came from the web. If you know more about the series you can help refine the details. Dates I got from GameFAQs so should be fairly accurate. --Euniana 03:14, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The DDR phenomenon

Replied to your comment in Talk:Dance Dance Revolution#The DDR phenomenon. --Poiuytman 10:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re: Konami Code

I cleaned up the links, as per your request. I then decided to clean up some of the inconsistencies in tense and grammatical person, then capitalization and quoting, date inaccuracies, the huge amount of redundancy in the "Variations" section....I sort of lost track of time and ended up re-writing a good deal of the article. :P
--Poiuytman 14:40, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Xfire

Hi SYSS Mouse -- Took a look at your rewrite of Xfire, & you made it closer to what I consider a Wikipedia article should look like, although I made a few copy edits. Thanks for the quick work on fixing this! -- llywrch 16:47, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Re: user name redirect

Yeah, I made the redirect page in anticipation of my username being changed, but it doesn't seem that the username change page is ever maintained anymore. I guess I'll get rid of the redirects. Thanks. --Poiuyt Man (talk) 20:45, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your support on WP:RFA. – ABCD 02:28, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Zhen Ji

Alright, I don't really know anything about her, but I recognized the other names like Cao Cao, and she seemed to be a real person from a quick Google search. I didn't think it was worthy of being speedily deleted, but if you think it needs to be listed on VFD, then I support that. Adam Bishop 03:09, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re: DDR again

I think the DDR article has the potential for featured article status in the near future, but there are several problem areas. "Songs and levels" needs some cleanup, and "The DDR phenomenon" needs serious work. --Poiuyt Man (talk) 05:29, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re: Happy Corner

I have cleaned up a little bit. Will be back some time when I'm free. — Instantnood 23:45, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

Happy Corner illustration

I've drawn one illustration of your article. Hope you don't mind. =) P.S. Some minor clean-ups are made at the same time. Please check.

Re: several things

I agree to your stance. Actually I searched that piece of information from the Internet, and, without in-depth contemplation, re-wrote the concerned phrases into the article. The misleading contents were cleaned up. Thanks for your adivce. =)

Another thing is about the copyrigt tag about Happy Corner. I'm new to Wikipedia, and I'm all at sea about those bits and bobs of tagging. Up to now, I don't have the foggiest idea about what kind of tab code should be implemented. So if you have a recommendation, please kindly inform me as soon as possible.

PS I'm a native Chinese, but I'd like to write in English--just because typing Chinese is beyong my ken! Have a nice day.

PPS If you want any articles to be translated (into English of course), or demand further proof-reading processes, please feel free to contact me at any time.--Mcy jerry 08:06, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

What a year! My first year in Wiki, a featured article and now administrator. Thank you for your support. Tony the Marine

Hey Kenny,

Can you force someone to sign up to a Wikipedia account? Because the same person with a dynamic IP keeps making (poor, POV) edits and it's a hassle to track all his work down... --Madchester 04:58, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)

Hello! I've noticed your past interest in Wikipedia:Mind Benders and wanted to share the following announcement with you! I've taken over the responsibilities of Mind Benders, and the page will now be regularly updated. Right now, the pre-round is open (it's more of a creative artistic competition), and round one will open soon (the questions are done, we just need to wait for the pre-round to begin/finish)! So why not check it out? I'll keep you updated! Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:40, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

P.S. Feel free to pass this news on to other Wikipedians.

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation.

Robin Miller

Hi, SYSS. There's been some discussion about your move on this talk page: Talk:Robin Miller (nurse). We're thinking that since the other Robin Miller is easily distinguished from this one by "Sir," it'd be better to move the Robin Miller (nurse) page back to Robin Miller, and move your new disambiguation page to Robin Miller (disambiguation). If you approve or disapprove or have some other input, please let us know at Talk:Robin Miller (nurse). Thanks! —Cleared as filed. 14:51, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

here and gone

You made an AFD nomination of an article with a long hexadecimal title per [[1]], and it was there and then it disappeared, along with the article. Quick work. Edison 02:36, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I was looking at the AFD and about to go to the article when the darned thing disappeared. But I googled the long hexadecimal number and now I see why some administrator with oversight powers took it upon himself to make it vanish. I just wish they would leave an explanation in the AFD discussion page when they do it. Edison 02:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

If someone is experienced enough and trusted enough to be granted oversight power to make anything disappear from Wikipedia and from the edit history, they could also be expected to drop a note to the person who nominated the article for deletion. I don't know about deletion review, but you could do that and see if there is an explanation of the way the oversight deletion was done without a note to you, regardless of however appropriate the oversight may have been.

Your suggestion

I'm aware of the deletion review. Is there anything in particular about it that's worth mentioning, beyond it being one of the multiplicity of places on Wikipedia where the key was discussed? I haven't listed many of the others, and I'm not sure how much value it would add to the story. Maybe a comprehensive list could be compiled on the story's talk page if people want. --Michael Snow 16:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Be more careful with reverts

It seems you chose to revert the Kevin Trudeau article back to an earlier version. However, it seems that you reverted it so far back that you actually reinserted all the vandalism that the same user went back and removed.

Unspecified source for Image:FAAAstrobadge.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:FAAAstrobadge.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 03:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:Canadian Coptic Center.jpg & Image:St Mark's CopticChurch--TO.jpg

Hello, there.

I just wanted to know if you're able to take a picture of the Coptic Orthodox Church Center in Mississauga OR St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Toronto. You can find out the street address online (the links to those websites are on the image pages). The current images are, unfortunately, copyrighted, as I was the one who uploaded them.

The current (copyrighted) images may get deleted, so if they do, then I'll need to replace them.

I need you or somebody else to take a picture, release its copyright, and upload it onto Wikipedia. I HAVE contacted others to notify them also, so if there are more than one pictures, that's OK (I can still make an article on them). I want these images to be used for, specifically, the article "Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada". The image pages are, again:

• Toronto: Image:St Mark's CopticChurch--TO.jpg
• Mississauga: Image:Canadian Coptic Center.jpg

• ~ Troy 22:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyway, thank - you very much! Some people have NO idea how hard it is to get some images to give articles a little life. I was one of them. ~ Troy 22:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

WP:LEGAL

Hi,

I think you must be referring to this edit to the legal page? If so, and you think there's other areas that need attention, can you clarify a bit? I'm afraid I wasn't 100% clear from your note exactly what you were after.

Also might be wise to discuss on that talk page, where others can comment too.

Thanks anyhow! :)

List of wonders in Civilization

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of wonders in Civilization, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of List of wonders in Civilization.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of wonders in Civilization and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of List of wonders in Civilization during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Re:The scan of the Senate resolution

Hi SYSS Mouse, Thank you for the kind words.

I don't really know about the Resolution, but I don't think there is a copyright infringement since the document was turned over to me, as stated within the resolution and therefore became my property. I in turn am giving permission to Wikipedia to use it. In any case I could ask the President of the Senate to give me permission to use it but, it would seem sort of funny since the document is mine, don't you think. I could assume all of the responsibility for it's use. Take care Tony the Marine 20:07, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

• SYSS Mouse, I am the owner of the original, sealed all and not the of a copy, so there isn't any copyright infringement. The uploaded copy is of the original. Since Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, I believe that it's documents are public and also fall under the free documentations which United States documents fall under. However, since as stated I own the original I assume full responsiblity. I just want to share this accomplishemnt with the community, since I believe that it my be the first time that one of its own has been honored by the government. Tony the Marine 20:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
