You might be annoyed that I have removed an "External link" from an article, if that is the case I would like to point out something before you go writing your comment. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a link repository, and as such links should be of up most importance.

If the link has the same information as a link already there it should not be added.
If the link adds nothing to the article as a whole (meaning, there is nothing substantial or unique about it) it should not be added.
If the link is not to an English site, it should not be added, try and find an alternative.
If you own the site.
The site is commercial, trying to sell something or is in other ways considered an ad.

If none of these "points" where broken with the link I removed. Please feel free to correct me if you feel I removed something that should not have been and inform me on my talk page of my mistake. Thank you.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV

"Bad faith nomination"

I have no idea what you mean by the term; a nomination that is genuinely made in bad faith would, by definition, be vandalism. If a nomination is plainly vandalism, and no editors have supported it in good faith, you can warn, report, or block the vandal as necessary, tag the nomination with {{db-g3}}, and revert the other edits made in placing it... even if other users have supported it, the vandal should probably still be dealt with somehow. Short of that, though, AfD isn't really the place to make accusations of bad faith. It is a simple process that attracts far too much bad blood already. --Aquillion 19:52, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Warcraft AFD

Hey, I think we've made our point against Kafziel in the Warcraft AFD, and now he appears to be trolling. Let's not feed him, ok? Delete this when you see it and hopefully he won't. JoshWook 17:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD War

Please read my closing (and only remaining) comments on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles page. I think you will agree with me. Kaustuv tried to do a very good thing with this nom, but with a list so incomplete and unorganized, it was doomed to fail. If we get a complete list divided into major and minor, we can put it up to public inquiry and reach an important milestone for AfD/WP:FICT problems in the future. Please respond on my User talk page!

Barnstar

I would say you deserve one of these, too. Even though you created it.

		The Warcraft Barnstar
		For your Contributions to Wikiproject Warcraft

You're welcome. I tried giving these out to as many people as possible, but the only people who have really been working on the project lately are OrcShaman42 and myself. And I can't give a barnstar to myself. -Ed! 02:35, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use galleries in Warcraft articles

It is strange that you call my gallery removals vandalism. They are not. Fair use does not cover galleries of images that are simply used for decoration. This is not Wikipedia policy, it is U.S. copyright law. Neither The Forsaken (Warcraft) nor Orc (Warcraft) contain any sort of explanation or analysis of the gallery images. There aren't even subtitles explaining what they all are!

It's not that fact that there were images in the article, not that it's about World of Warcraft, not because I'm a rouge admin :). It's only because there was no context, and therefore no valid fair use claim.

This issue has come up before, and my actions aren't out of line. It was just as rash for you to revert my removal without discussion as it might've been for me to make the removal in the first place.

Why do those images have to be in the article? If you can provide some sort of justification, there's no problem. As it is, however, they contribute nothing. So improve the article already, instead of fighting some jerk admin! Caption the images, or put them in appropriate places. I'm sure you and User:CyberSkull can find a way to improve the article.

Also, you should've realized by now that not all of Wikipedia's rules are written down. Policy is a direct result of the community's actions, not the other way around. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, nor is it an experiment in rule making. Consensus guides, it doesn't dominate. ~MDD 46 96 03:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

... and by the way, we're supposed to interpret the rules as we see fit! ~MDD 46 96 03:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

About Wowwiki

Hi,the screenshot of wowwiki you uploaded is kinda outdated.can you upload the current one please?thanks.(i would love to do it myself but i dont know how to upload it lol)

Warcraft WP ToDo

Here are some issues with the WCWP ToDo list. I didn't know where to post them, so if there's a better place (the project page?) please let me know and I will relocate them.

These three articles are (pardon my french) retarded, "Silverleaf" doesn't even exist:

Please explain to me how to put articles as AfD, so we can wipe these stupid snippets. BTW, regarding the whole AfD thing, it's probably best to aim low and take out the crap (not cruft) first! :)

Another thing I don't know how to do is change the redirect. A few of the articles listed on the "expand" list have shoddy redirects and I would like to fix that.
