Woof! The people here are pretty condescending, huh? "You can't do the rational thing because you're a n00blet and I am the l33t editor!" Even changed the word back from "left" to "right". Such is wikipedia.SashaNein 16:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sasha, Indeed the problem with Wikipedia are idiots who think they're the grammar police and incredibly anal about the most minutest of details, main reason why the Angry Nerd has had BOTH his wiki pages removed and banned (AVGN and ANN)for "no proof that he actually exists" and why "ScrewAttack" is considered a SPAM word. Guru Larry 16:27, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A spam word? No doubt it was manually entered in by one of the administrators that have personal vendettas against him. I think the count is at about 20 admins right now that hate his guts, which means that even if he has his own TV show or half to full-page featured in huge newspapers and magazines, he will be denied an article. "No new developments since July 2006 and he isn't even hosted on a top 1,000,000 alexa site!" is their cute little defense of lies.SashaNein 16:30, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, try entering ScrewAttack as a link and within seconds a Mod-Bot will revert evert change you've ever done on that page and leave you a message on your main page not to put sites that are considered SPAM on their precious site. Also do it again and they'll leave another message threatening to ban you. Guru Larry 07:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gametrailers to get the wiki axe

[edit]

Can you believe it? GameTrailers

They're saying it doesn't meet the "notability" guideline. Oh well, they've lied to get their way before. They can't stop now.SashaNein 02:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well they're not voting for a deletion, but theres some real anal whores here, how much notability do you need? a signed document from George Bush? --Guru Larry 02:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The one that's trying to get Gametrailers and Screwattack gone is the same person that's busting your balls on the Game Guru article. Don't be surprised if he tags yours as well.SashaNein 19:21, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gamezville Page, User:StuntRaceFX

[edit]

Hey Larry, could you check out my user page, then my latest edit on the Gamezville page? (What it looked like from my last edit) User:StuntRaceFX is being fairly aggressive with me about my changes, and i'm pretty confident they were a serious improvement. So I could just do with a second opinion. Whadya' reckon? I'm pretty sure he's not looking to improve the quality, just wanting it how he wants it. We might have to see about fetching a moderator if he continues. Slydevil 23:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, not to worry, just keep an eye on the page, and him. Heh, thanks. Slydevil 12:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think the reedit was too bad, I checked it before yesterday and it seemed fine then, I think the positions of the Cellcast complaint and the reception segments should be swapped back, but apart from that. But if he keeps on, maybe it'd be wise to request that the page be locked --Guru Larry 02:37, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the support on that. The Cellcast Complaint I moved as Trivia sections are discouraged (so I could remove it), and it fitted in with 'History'. The complaint should be removed in the future (simply as I don't feel it's notable) unless it's neatly embedded in another section. A reception section is good for the quality of the article, and that particular paragraph I felt was better suited there. Thanks, though :-) Slydevil 19:30, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blanking the page

[edit]

Per the talk page guidelines, there is nothing that states that you are not allowed to blank your own talk page. Some of the edit summaries I have seen show that Larry is being deliberately targeted and then fed false information in order to deter him from performing actions that are still within the guidelines. SashaNein 13:02, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also see discussion here. Warnings are only reminders to the user, as stated by administrators Kusma and Radiant. This is fact. Allow this user to remove his own personal warnings as he pleases. SashaNein 13:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changing Titles

[edit]

Hi Larry,

On the top of the article, there's the "history" and "watch" buttons, but there's also a "move" button. That essentially should rename the article. I'm off to MAGfest now! SashaNein (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games

[edit]
Hi Guru Larry! You are receiving this message because we've noticed your excellent edits on Video game-related articles. We need your help at the Video games WikiProject! There is much work to do, so please head over to the project page and help us enhance and increase the coverage of Video game related articles on Wikipedia!

Access to all episodes of Guru Larry's Retro Corner

[edit]

Hi Larry, I didn't know you had 33 episodes of your show! Is there a way to watch all of them online? I can only find 5 on the XLeague site. Until today, I thought that these were the only five episodes!

It'd be great if the XLeague site archived all of the reviews.

And MAGfest was fun! It was great meeting up with PBC and ScrewAttack. I'll try and have pictures soon. SashaNein (talk) 22:46, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

Fair use rationale for File:Game Guru Screen.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Game Guru Screen.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 06:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of Guru Larry's Retro Corner episodes

[edit]

The article List of Guru Larry's Retro Corner episodes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Main article deleted due to lack of notability; it seems logical to delete this as well.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Game Guru Mini Logo.jpg

[edit]
⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Game Guru Mini Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Naturalbornkittens1.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Naturalbornkittens1.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:24, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Jamesponddeathlyshallowstitlescreen.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jamesponddeathlyshallowstitlescreen.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

The Video game Barnstar

You have done a lot of edits and article creations about video games. I think you should earn a barnstar for it!

ArbCom elections are now open!

[edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Thanks for uploading File:Gamers-old.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Battle Kid Cover Art.png

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Battle Kid Cover Art.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 17:02, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:ShinobiKid1.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:ShinobiKid1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:03, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
