Thank you for tackling the ''[[Secret of Mana]]'' article. I've been meaning to do it for the longest time, but never got up the nerve because it was so long. ~ [[User:Hibana|Hibana]] 01:14, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

XD

Hey, I probably shouldn't be encouraging this, but I have to say that I absolutely love this edit - I mean both the name of the Barnstar, the content, and the reason for giving it is simply fantastic. I applaud you and your great humour =D ≈ The Haunted Angel 21:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

However, that person you gave the star to did not enjoy it. See edits here. --24.136.230.38 22:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about

Hey i have an idea for you, how about before you bumb the list of VCS characters page you talk about doing that on its talk page? Stop trying to vandalise it you idiot.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by an unregistered douchebag 17:15, 18 April 2007 (UTC).

Thank you for looking at Image:Prince PurpleRainMovie.jpg. A good fair use rationale contains several elements as described in Help:Image page#Fair use rationale. If you add the missing info I can remove the {{needs rationale}} tag. Let me know if you need help. – Ilse@ 10:12, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Evil Twin: No bullet lists?

I happened to be looking at the Evil Twins article when you deleted most of it. Not that this makes much difference to me one way or the other, but what is the rationale for not having bulleted lists when the best way to make a point is with a list of examples? Offhand, this wholesale deletion seems more like vandalism to me. Skymasterson 03:26, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More Evil Twin

Okay, as I said earlier, I have no strong opinion either way with this article. I do think that bulleted lists have their place when we're facing a situation where a lot of examples drive home a point, and eliminating all bulleted lists and Trivia lists from Wikipedia would result in a loss of a lot of interesting information, sometimes the most entertaining part of an article. But I don't want to start an edit war, either (oh god no), so your deletion is certainly welcome to stand as far as I'm personally concerned. And I don't doubt for a moment that some articles have gotten preposterously out of hand, I just think we should be judicious before condemning whole formats like bulleted lists and Trivia lists no matter what----and yes, I've seen the fairly new injunction against Trivia lists, but I think it's too all-encompassing: sometimes there's a lot of fascinating trivia about a particular topic that makes an article especially entertaining and informative, and it's good for Wikipedia to be fun as long as it's informative. Skymasterson 03:44, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look, if there's a good reason why you're removing content from Lex Luthor: Man of Steel‎, just explain in the edit summary and on the article's Talk page. But to revert without explanation and remove the warnings from two other editors without explanation is verging on incivility. Corvus cornix 22:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Lex Luthor: Man of Steel, you will be blocked from editing. Corvus cornix 03:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A dedicated wiki site for Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog universe

Hello there,

I notice you have contributed to numerous articles pertaining to the Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog universe here on Wikipedia. I'm am currently trying to create a wiki site dedicated to this fictional universe, and would like to know if you're interested in assisting me in creating quality articles on the site. I have worked on many Archie-Sonic related articles here myself, and I would be happy to have you assist me in this wiki project. Before we can begin however, I need to wait for the wiki to be approved on the wikia site, and I would greatly appreciate it if you left a support comment on the talk page if you are interested in helping with this collaborative project.

I just found out you need to register with wikia to leave a comment on the request page, or the page won't work. If you don't mind, could you go to the main page, here: [1] Register, and leave a support comment on the page? Once you register, here's the request page again to go to: [2] Whatever username you use to register with wikia will be the one you use on the Archie Sonic wiki once its up and running, since it is created through the wikia site.

Thanks for your time. - Matticus333 02:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. The website is now open and you may begin creating articles and making edits to current ones! For the page to appear properly, you need to register an account with wikia. The URL address for the site http://archiesonic.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. Rest assured the site is still in its infancy and so the layout, colour schemes etc. will be undergoing changes in the near future. Hope to see you there! - Matticus333 00:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Silent Hill

I'm impressed by the work you've managed to accomplish on Silent Hill (video game). I've been working on Silent Hill 4: The Room as of late, and a while ago I rewrote Silent Hill 2. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 21:58, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that occurs to me is that you probably would want to find a picture with more relevance to the plot in the Plot section. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 22:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I noticed about your SH2 plot summary...you've left out Laura. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 03:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. Sorry. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 15:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that sourcing the plot summary should wait until it's been completed. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 17:29, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Persona Revelations

I had a question about your recent revert on my posting Revelations: Persona. You said that prices are not allowed, but the WikiProject video games section says this: "Listing a price in conjunction with critical analysis of the game or content from secondary sources, such as describing the general prices for games, or that the very low or very high cost of a game was a factor in the critical reception of the work, can be included."

I thought adding the price to the Persona article fit into this category. The game is very expensive now which shows that it is still in great demand. I am new to Wiki though so any clarification would be appreciated. Jjgames (talk) 15:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a video game article that talks about the current price for the game, though it does not cite an exact price. Here is what it says: "As such, it can be difficult to purchase a copy of the game, which can sell for over 300% of its original retail price" It is from the Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen page. I don't know how to see what the pages are rated on that scale you told me about, but it seems like a good article (doesn't have any of those incomplete article or needs work comments) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jjgames (talkcontribs) 21:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The site I linked to in my edit was not just the ebay price. It is a website that tracks the prices of video games from multiple sources and combines them into one "price" and it shows a 1 year price history for every game. I agree that the link shouldn't just be "it sold once on ebay for $100" or something like that, but I think a link to this site is much more informative and is a compilation of other sites's prices too. If you want I could edit the text some so it doesn't just say "it sells on ebay for X price". Do you think that would be better?

Thanks for letting me know about finding the grading for articles. That is very helpful. Jjgames (talk) 21:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the price to the article. And showed how this demonstrates its increased popularity.Jjgames (talk) 14:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What policy?

As iconic as those pictures may or may not be, wiki policy says that the profile pic must be the most recent one taken of that character.

Can you care to cite which Wikipedia policy states such a rule? Otherwise, it sounds like a non-existing policy you just made up right now. The "most recent" isn't always the best choice and the idea of using the most recent is mostly done for aesthetics purposes than anything else (especially when a character design don't deviate that much between productions). The idea of using the classic Super SF2 rendition of the characters actually came from Kung Fu Man as you can see here, since the character illustrations Capcom released for SF IV obscured the characters too much. The only real policy that I know of is that an article should have the least amount of non-free images as possible.Jonny2x4 (talk) 02:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thanks for doing the {{reflist}} part of this edit. On the previous edit, I was adding a ref, and when I do this, I normally preview how it looks by adding a reflist template. But, this time I forgot to take it out. :) Rockfang (talk) 04:45, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Breath of Fire

First off, let me assure you that it wasn't a 2-second assessment - I did look over the article, I just looked over multiple articles, and then assessed many articles at once, but not haphazardly, I assure you.

Second off, I did re-rate it as C. The re-releases section should be rewritten a bit more - maybe separate the lead paragraph and the reception (sales, reviews). Development information for it would be nice as well. As for the original game, it could use more information on its development outside of localization, and we could use some sales for the game. I hope that helped. If you need assistance in finding sources or working on the article, get back to me and I'll do some digging. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 20:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Secret of Mana

Thank you for tackling the Secret of Mana article. I've been meaning to do it for the longest time, but never got up the nerve because it was so long. ~ Hibana 01:14, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
