Hello there, Why you deleted the page ADA cellworks.This page is eligible of being in wiki.This company is big one and the page that I had uploaded was not at all advertisement. Plz look at this matter and allow ADA cellworks to be online. Thank You..

Hi there,

I am adding LCN.com as a page with the companies history etc.. I keep getting told I am advertising but I am not. Other companies similar to LCN.com have a wiki page - why can't LCN have one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkamobo (talk • contribs) 11:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

So, for LCN wiki to exist I need to make it on my own profile, then other people must have input on it before it goes live?

No Need for Bushido

I've added several sources and a References section to the article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Need_for_Bushido

I did not see any discussion on your tags in the article's discussion page so I'm not certain if this will satisfy what you're looking for. I'm leaving the notability and primarysources tags up for now.

Vellius (talk) 15:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Vellius - at a very quick glance, it looks like those references might be okay. I'll take a good look later and probably remove the tags. Thanks. Marasmusine (talk) 16:35, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Infamous Adventures Deletion

I don't know if you've checked but the article you intend to delete has been backed up. I'm from this group and I went around finding notable sources to keep the article up. I don't know how to use Wikipedia though so I'm not sure how to include these sources in the actual article but what I've posted in the link below must be enough to merit our company's nobility.

Thank you for the moving of the Gideon Conn page and the pointers. I'm having a little look for some respected review sites and suchlike. Is the article generally ok? I tried to follow all the guidelines I could lay hand to... Kevin.molloy (talk) 14:54, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

It's fine for a first draft. If you indend to improve it, then Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/MUSTARD is your style guide, and WP:RS describes what kind of sources are needed. Use as many independent sources as possible, for example this lancashire telegraph article mentions his appearance at BridgeFest, which can be used instead of citing BridgeFest directly (although it's too short of a mention to help asserting WP:Notability) Marasmusine (talk) 15:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Minty

hello

i am trying to create a wiki page for M1NT, i have now revised the text to be more informative

09:21, 24 October 2008 Marasmusine (Talk | contribs) deleted "M1NT" ‎ (G12: Blatant copyright infringement: copied from http://www.hkclubbing.com/Latest_News/Nightlife_News/DJ_Carl_Kennedy_comes_to_M1NT.html)

i found the above removal, the information in the above link was provided to hkclubbing.com by M1NT. i cant see how this can be a copyright infringment?

i would like the new text to be the following

M1NT is an exclusive members club offering a limited amount of invited individuals to apply to become shareholders. M1NT was founded in 2004 by Mr. Alistair Paton, from Australia. His concept came from the proven philosophy that ownership encourages patronage.

M1NT started in London with rave reviews and very quickly received attention from the international media and social elite, along with some of the world’s most recognized celebrities.

M1NT Hong Kong opened in 2006 to a blaze of publicity and is located at 108 Hollywood Road Central. Shareholders received dividends beyond company projections, according to the 2007 Hong Kong Shareholders report shares traded at 80% higher than when the club opened.

M1NT Hong Kong

Mid 2008 M1NT expanded to Shanghai. Due to the exclusive nature of M1NT, most features of M1NT Shanghai as well as its list of celebrity shareholders is confidential and has met with much speculation in the local and international media.

M1NT Shanghai

M1NT featured in Shanghai Daily

Alistair Paton Feature in Shanghai Business Review

More information about M1NT can be found at www.m1nt.com.cn and www.m1ntnews.com

do you think this is alright now, or what should i add/change to post this page?

thanks

It was a copyright violation because the text was under copyright. We can only use public domain or GNU-licensed text. Your proposed text above is still not written with a neutral point of view; it's still very much like an advert or promotional brochure.

Total Chaos

But the links aren't supplied to provide a reference for some claim made, rather they are links to the reviews that are referred to, which might be useful to establish notability. Having said that, I agree with removing the Aminet one, as it appears that is in the main Aminet area where anyone can upload. But the other review is attributed to the Amiga Games Database - I don't see that being on a "personal homepage" means we can't link to it. See Wikipedia:V#SELF - such sources are useful for purposes such as notability. There is perhaps an argument that the Amiga Games Database itself isn't notable, but I feel that should be handled with an AfD for that article. Mdwh (talk) 21:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC) To add to that, the link [1] is provided as a screenshot of another review elsewhere. Is there a reason to doubt the authenticity of this screenshot?

Hi!

Thanks for your edit on AdventureQuest. I think you shouldn't replace the paragraph of the server cap just with a content from a single website. Also, the website is quite outdated, since it states: "There is only a single server with capacity for 5500 players" and the picture is from the old versions of AdventureQuest. The website you stated is just a view from A GAMER, so I don't think it will be appropriate for you to put this up, but maybe you should find a website that has views from many people. Also please do not describe things like - (thus the reviewer found her level 1 character repeatedly dying on a quest full of level 5 monsters). No one knows that is true or not, except the reviewer himself. I don't think this will happen because there are many limits like "You have to be Level 15 to learn spellcrafting" and I know this because I play it almost everyday. You shouldn't deleted the paragraph about the lack of free content,interaction etc. either because it is the fact and you didn't state it in your text.

Anyway, it's just an opinion from me. If you have anything to discuss, please post it on my talk page before 4.00 UTC or I'll revert some of your edits. Thanks.--Mark Chung (talk) 03:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Replying on your talk page. Marasmusine (talk) 09:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mark, surely you must be familiar with Wikipedia's core WP:Verifiability policy? The critical reception section needs to be constructed from information from reliable, independent sources. Now the nearest I could find to this was the two reviews I cited in the rewritten section. What do you mean by a website that has views from many people? If you mean forums, or blogs, or user-submitted reviews, then we simply do not use these as they are not reliable sources. Is "just a view from a GAMER" appropriate? When they are published by a reliable, independent source, they are the only things that are appropriate. In its current form, the section violates our WP:Original research policy. You can provide citations, or I can remove it again. Thanks, Marasmusine (talk)

Hello Marasmusine, actually, I wasn't very familiar with the rules and sort of things like that. I'm just plain lazy to read loooooong articles and guidelines.

Please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=AdventureQuest&diff=253983025&oldid=253786063.

First, I'd like to talk about the server cap. I don't think there is any problem with that. If you think that is unsourced, I had provided these:

• http://www.battleon.com/msg-Guardianmax.asp for the server cap info
• http://www.aqstats.com/serverstats.php for the max and min numbers of slots.

If you really want to change it, then convert:

There is a limit on the number of free players which can play simultaneously. The limit was fixed at 4,000 during the early days of AdventureQuest, but it currently fluctuates from 6,000 at 2am to 30,000 at peak times according to time of day and server load. Once the limit is reached, only Guardians may log in, until sufficient players log out or the limit increases.

into

There is a limit on the number of free players which can play simultaneously. The limit was fixed at 4,000 during the early days of AdventureQuest, but it currently fluctuates from 4,500 to 10,000 at peak times according to time of day and server load. Once the limit is reached, only Guardians and X-Guardians may log in, until sufficient players log out or the limit increases.

and I did that...

Next, for:

Because of the server cap, it can be difficult for free players to log in, especially because the server limit may occasionally decrease by nearly 50%, and all the available slots are usually taken moments after the server limit is increased. just change it to

• http://aq.battleon.com/Build30/game.asp?launchtype=medium. Try it yourself.

For:

Free players have tried various means to bypass the server cap. A web browser script that would immediately log a player in once it detected an available slot on the server was once available. In the past, there have been bugs which could be exploited by free players bypass the server cap, but these bugs have been fixed. Some fan sites offer server stats to give players a good idea of when to log in. Some free players, after successfully logging in, leave their computer on continuously to stay logged in (this does not, however, affect free players attempting to log in as any player that idles for more than half an hour does not count towards the server cap until they stop idling)., I haven't found anything yet. Would you help me?

Thanks.--Mark Chung (talk) 12:41, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Umm...

Maybe we can ask someone for help..., since the talk page states:

Template:Maintained --Mark Chung (talk) 12:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I can see that you are extremely experienced. In fact, I'm shivering right now...

Don't get angry, okay? *sobs* Don't get angry because I deleted your edits. I admit, I didn't really know how to judge a source's reliability. That's why I put "unreliable" in the edit summary. I didn't know that published materials are reliable...

OK. Now I think OMGN should be used/referred as a source. But not GrrlGamer. Why? Because I think it uses "I" in the description. Doesn't it violate WP:NPOV?

• http://www.battleon.com/msg-Guardianmax.asp

You have to check this link often. The limit changes every hour or every few hour, like stated before, OK? That's why you've to retain There is a limit on the number of free players which can play simultaneously. The limit was fixed at 4,000 during the early days of AdventureQuest, but it currently fluctuates from 4,500 to 10,000 at peak times according to time of day and server load. Once the limit is reached, only Guardians and X-Guardians may log in, until sufficient players log out or the limit increases.

I know the "bypass server cap" section could not be used, that's why I'm inviting you to search for any articles related to it together, okay?

For the in-depth character class table, I "dug" it back because it is not deleted properly. When the table exists, it has text above it like "...as below." This should be done properly. I also think there should be a list, if a table like this is not possible.

Thanks.--Mark Chung (talk) 14:45, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

RE Legend of the Red Dragon

I understand you are ignorant of this subject, but the text game Legend of the Red Dragon has ALWAYS been referred to as L.o.r.d, NOT LoRD. Regardless of what strange wikipedia guidelines promote, that does not make it right. :D

Keep your notability tags if you want, things of this nature are always difficult to justify to some deletionists. It's an old text game played on bbses, there's no books written on it and any magazines written about it are long fogotten. That doesn't change the fact that its notable to people.

regardless, i dont want to get into an edit war, i don't have that much time in my life. Wikifranki99 (talk) 08:04, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

7000?

What are you talking about? 7000 players? Remember when you added "The current server capacity is 7000 players." I told you, the numbers change! Check it every few hours, okay?

Also, I think you should leave the subrace table remain undeleted. It is necessary for beginners to learn something about subraces in AdventureQuest.

I saw your edits and...

Wow! I am really surprised! I'll award you a barnstar when I feel contented with the article.

Thanks!--Mark Chung (talk) 08:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

It still needs a lot of work. It would be great if you could take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) so you can see why I'm not so keen on excessive in-game information. If the information on subraces, classes, etc is available on the AdventureQuest website, it's best if we keep it at brief as possible in the article, but link to it there. Thanks for your continued interest in the article! Marasmusine (talk) 21:14, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

No, there's no way you can put up the information from the back of the book. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise products. See WP:Conflict of interest. Notable books (i.e. those that have received critical attention) should have a "critical reception" section which contains a balanced overview of both positive and negative comments by reviwers.

Traditionally, someone else might nominate your for adminship, but you can self-nominate as well WP:RfA A certain level of trust is involved - you're enthusiastic about the Wikipedia project, and have been editing for a year and a half, which is good - but you'll also have to comment on your block from last November (forgive me for prying :/ ). You'll also need an understanding of WP's core policies (WP:NPOV, WP:V, and above all, WP:CIVIL ) and important guidelines (WP:STYLE, WP:N). If you feel you still want to be a admin, and are looking for a "sponsor" (so to speak), I'll need some time to look through your contributions, and you'll need to be prepared for constructive criticism!

Everyone needs to pry to know who they are dealing with on Wikipedia. Plus, since that block, I have learned how to deal with constructive criticism. I am ready. I just need to up my edit count to 2,000. I will read the policies that you linked to; thank you very much.  :^) I was blocked because I did not understand that Wikipedia was for encyclopedic activity only. Now I more than understand. I even suppressed anger from a Wikipedian a while ago, and I marveled at being in the spot of the other person in encounters in my beginning year. Well, thanks once again! -BlueCaper (talk) 14:01, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've got 2,049 edits to my name (actually, once I save this page it will be 2,050). Now, I am ready to enter the process of becoming an admin. What's the first step? -BlueCaper (talk) 15:54, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, you could simply nominate yourself at WP:RfA. I would advise getting some experience with some admin-related duties first as I can't tell from your contributions how you would handle the admin tools. For example, if you are interested in article deletions, you could try some Non-admin closures. If you are interested in speedy deletions, look through the new articles list and get some experience using the speedy deletion request templates - if your requests are regularly accepted then we can trust your judgement there. It would also be helpful to get an idea of when you would block a user or protect a page, perhaps by noting problem pages or users at WP:AIV. Or, like I say, you can just jump in and nominate yourself. Marasmusine (talk) 16:33, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The two songs I uploaded from DW4 and SW may be deleted!

Right now, I and other editors are working on justifying the use on Wikipedia with a unique fair-use rationale (describing the situation) because it is technically non-free content even if outside Asian borders. If that is impossible, they may be deleted. However, the SW one might be okay to keep because it may have come from the recording of the track while played on the game instead of the soundtrack. If you want them, go to our WikiProject. They are there. When you begin playing them, click "More..." and click "Upload file." Take them while they're up for grabs...if you want them. -BlueCaper (talk) 16:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm pretty sure there's no fair-use rationale for linking to a whole track. A short snippet, maybe... Marasmusine (talk) 18:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Would you want Ōtani Yoshitsugu to be in a Samurai Warriors Game?

Click here to see what I would want him to look like. (It's in the top corner and in the background.) I took his Kessen picture and changed some of his looks, while adding the Samurai Warriors poster logo for a false sense of authenticity. EveryDayJoe45 and I already discussed this, but I want to know what you think about it.

Oh, and if you want to compare, the Kessen him is in here. -BlueCaper (talk) 15:22, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, he's from the correct time period, so why not? It's rather up to Koei, though. I liked Kunoichi, even though she wasn't historical. They should bring her back. Currently waiting for a friend to finish with his copy of Samurai Warriors Empires 2 so I can take a look. Marasmusine (talk) 16:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I never played a SW game newer than the original, but it is hard to imagine Kunoichi not being there. She represented the fun in the game. They should have added Honganji Kennyo like they were going to in SW2 (they didn't add him or Imagawa Yoshimoto in SW2 because they were pressed for time). Maybe a SW3E, SW3XL, or SW4 can incorporate what has not been incorporated yet.

Proposed deletion of Gene Corp

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gene Corp, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

A search for references has failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources in order to comply with notability requirements. This has included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:

Gene Corp – news, books, scholar Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

Amaya (web browser)

please read teh articl again and mark which fact do you want to cited, when I will search. There is nothing to cite! and I will remove the notability-sign for that article, because this browser IS important enough to have its own article!

I have replied on your talk page. Marasmusine (talk) 15:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Amaya has reviewed in magazines. I can you give also a list (an actul and up-to-date list is also on the page. but I don't know what this could be integrated in the article. mabdul 0=* 12:35, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Neverball

Hey... Can I suggest that you spare a little bit of that time you spend on enforcing the lack-of-notability template for adding some of those citations you seek? There are a few links on the talk page, I'm sure you as a regular Wikipedia editor, unlike me, would do a much better job at incorporating them in the article. Cheers, 62.63.166.34 (talk) 14:53, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

The notability template is a reminder that the article needs to show how the software is notable. The talk page provides one link, to this book. I don't know if its self-published or from a reliable publisher. I don't own the book and I can't read German. Someone actually with access to those books needs to cite them, using Template:cite book, and the coverage needs to be significant (per WP:GNG). Google News has 3 hits for Neverball, all short 'directory entry' type postings. Linux sites such as Happy Penguin and LinuxLinks again have directory entries but no significant coverage.

Provide me with some substantial sources and I'll gladly incorporate them. Marasmusine (talk) 18:45, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

New WPKoeiWarriorsGames Member!

I recruited a Wikipedian whose contributions were extremely benevolent to the Warriors articles. His name is Commander Shepard, so now the WikiProject has four members! -BlueCaper (talk) 01:17, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Jet Set Willy - Dragon 32/64 Vs RiscOS versions

Hi there. Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure how to go about citing or verifying the versions of JSW between the two different formats. I know they're direct ports (Manic Miner was also given the same treatment) because I disassembled the RiscOS port myself to correct a couple of bugs that had been created when the port was first done. Much of the code is the same, the graphics are identical - colour pallet notwithstanding - and even the cheat code is the same. I have never seen anything in print, apart from my own observations which ended up in some Acorn PD libraries in the late 1990's discussing the different versions, so how can I reliably cite a reference?

Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A man alone (talk • contribs) 22:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Heya. Strictly speaking we should only be printing material that has already been published somewhere already (hence the WP:Verifiability policy.) If the port was officially published (by Software Projects, presumably) then there'll be some record of it somewhere, even if it's just a advert in an old magazine. If you actually have an original copy (gasp!) then you could just cite that I suppose.

Don't worry about it for now. Marasmusine (talk) 23:43, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Making of Q*bert

Hey, I noticed some of your edits to Q*bert and was wondering if I could get the info from Edge issue 132 (January 2003). (Guyinblack25 ^talk 04:03, 23 March 2009 (UTC))

Thank you. It's very much appreciated. Hopefully after the FAR for Final Fantasy, Q*bert will get a make over. Thanks again. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 14:23, 23 March 2009 (UTC))

I've applied for adminship

It's me, BlueCaper. I have requested adminship earlier today, and I was wondering if you could help me in any way that you can. I am nervous, but I was able to pour my thoughts out onto the request. Below is my nomination page:

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/BlueCaper

-BlueCaper (talk) 22:16, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, it's all over before I had chance to comment. I will of course provide any assistance I can if you wish to continue developing the skills required for adminship. Marasmusine (talk) 19:08, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I'm supposed to be on Wikibreak yeah, right), but I will keep contributing. Oh, and I'm trying this new thing where I thank good editors of Wikipedia for contributing. I hope it catches on because assuming good faith isn't enough; messages should have some good meaning in them.

So, thank you.

Please thank other people, because if this catches on, there will be a lot less hurt Wikipedians. -BlueCaper (talk) 01:55, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Features list in CryEngine 3

In the future, if you come across a section that needs cleanup, and you do not have the time, knowledge or interest to do it yourself, please tag it with the appropriate cleanup template, in this case {{Prose}}.

Freeciv's notability

In November 2008, you added requests for proving Freeciv's notability and providing more references. The first has gone, the second is still there. Does the page meet your requirements now? What sort of reference are you thinking of? Is it necessary or sufficient to provide a link to the download statistics on Sourceforge or links to Freeciv distributions within popular Linux distributions and FreeBSD?? Are you looking for reviews or discussions of Freeciv in online magazines? Rp (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
