My User Page
Please do not edit my user page. If you would like to leave a comment please do so on my talk page. Thanks. --Mikedk9109 23:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I have no idea. You are not blocked and that page is not protected. You should be able to edit. --Kukini 01:04, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: The Ringer
I'm truly sorry for that edit, I wasn't paying attention to that. My mistake. Hucz 22:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Samurai Jack
Thanks for posting the title card, I had been unsuccessful in locating one. Hewinsj 16:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it would take something as simple as that wouldn't it. I always overlook the obvious things and go straight to the ones that require me to use some amount of Photoshop. Hewinsj 19:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- I added some more images to this article, so I switched the alignment of some images back to the left side of the article. It helps space things out and this way they line up with the paragraphs that they refer to well without being too busy. Hewinsj 20:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Just a note, but the pages you moved for the birth of evil episodes have a single parenthesis ) at the end of the page name. Should probably take that off. Hewinsj 01:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think there was anything wrong with the old titles of those pages so it may have been unnecessary, but it works either way. It also doesn't look like it hurt anything as links to the old pages in the main article (The Birth of Evil (Part 1 of 2) for instance) now redirect to the new location, but the Part 1 of 2 helped show that it was a 2 parter just by looking at it.
- I don't really care in this case, but you should be careful not to get too overzealous moving pages. There are some people on here that think moving pages is a big deal. Hewinsj 16:36, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- That wouldn't be a bad move either. I was just looking at episodes for Batman the Animated Series and saw the same thing with one or two of them. If you feel like attempting a merge discussion go ahead, but I don't know if there will be that much attention paid to it. If you want to go ahead and merge them no one should give you a hard time, and I wouldn't argue with you. Hewinsj 17:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Fair Use
There's a bot that goes around and alerts people to this sort of thing, and deletes the image if the correct information hasn't been added after seven days. First you have to select which type of image it is while loading it. Now you'll have to go back and add the code
== Licensing ==
{{tv-screenshot}}
under the edit this page tab for those images.
Second, if you look at the pictures I posted there's an info box in each that describes what it is, where it came from (if I made it or found it), who really owns the material, the fact that they haven't had a problem with it in the past, and something to the affect of "since this is a generic image/title card it isn't hurting the profits of the person that owns the show and is helping raise awareness of the property". I started doing that after I saw it in images on featured articles and no one's given me any trouble since then. Copy and paste the info box from one of those images to your own and replace the information with the text regarding your own pictures. It should go under the heading Summary like it does in mine. Once that's done you can delete the "this image has no fair use information" tag.
Let me know if that helps. Hewinsj 21:08, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- That should be fine. You shouldn't hear anything about it again, but if you do try and go to the discussion pages on the television project for more help. I think you can also delete the references to this problem on your talk page since it's been resolved. Hewinsj 21:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Zappa Picture
Nice picture you have added to the Frank Zappa article!--HJensen, talk 19:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
List of characters in Ed, Edd n Eddy
Please stop linking to spurious character pages that are proposed for deletion. The editing communtiy of this page does not want these. It has been discussed many times in the past. If you want to contribute to the article, please read the discussion page, and abide by what has been decided there. Thank you. -- Elaich 17:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Is
In a title "is" is always written with a big i. The Prince of Darkness 18:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Oh sorry, I knew words like a, and and the were but I thought is was as well, my mistake, I'll change it back. Cheers, Jack 18:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Moving the quotation marks
I personally don't think you should move the quotation marks in the TV.com links. I think it looks neater with them not in the link, but the other reason is that you'll have to change every episodes' link! Cheers, Jack 18:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Mighty the Armadillo
Is there a reason for you reverting that? The consensus from like a month ago was to merge all characters like that. The IP is just breaking it without reason. Nemu 13:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think all your contributions to Wikipedia is vandalism. Your continous merging of perfectly good articles sickens me. You do not belong here, you vandal! The Prince of Darkness 13:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
- OK, what is up with you? I know you don't like information to be deleted, but that doesn't give you any sort of right to revert the removal of information and call it vandalism. I strongly suggest going to Wikia], which can use all of this cruft that you like to keep. Nemu 18:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
U2 image change
Hi, I reverted your change of the main image on the U2 page. If you want to see that image changed, please discuss on the talk page before making changes to the article. The present image seems better to me than the Anaheim one you changed it to, but I'd be happy to discuss if you feel otherwise. Regards. Wikipedia brown 01:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Wow, that was quick. It is not often that I receive a comment about an edit 2 minutes after the edit. Anyway, I am going to write a message on the talk page explaining my rationale on the reversion on the deletion. I also moved the page to List of Mario series enemies, as I will also explain on the talk page. Pointlessness 18:09, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Ed Edd n Eddy Title. High quality or Low quality?
Kan du ikke lide Ed Edd n Eddy titlen i høj kvalitet?
Dont you like the Ed Edd n Eddy Title in High Quality? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.81.3.158 (talk) 20:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC).
- Nei, det kan jeg ikke. Bildet er altfor uklart. Finn en klarere versjon. The Prince of Darkness 21:29, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. Jeg beholder den normale! :)
Waluigi
We don't just take consensus from pure votes if one side's argument hasn't been refuted one bit. If this was ten to one or something, it would be different. But this is just four people that say "he's important because he is a Mario character/has been in many games/just because." Those aren't true arguments. Nemu 16:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- You did the exact same action towards the Ed, Edd n Eddy characters as I did to Waluigi. The Prince of Darkness 17:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- What do you mean? We had a discussion based on policy, not fan arguments. In that case, the arguments to keep were the bad ones. You were really the only one who disagreed anyways. You at least should give it time for people to actually respond to me. Nemu 17:38, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ditto. The Prince of Darkness 17:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Ditto what? You have to be a little more specific when doing that. If it's to the "You at least should give it time for people to actually respond to me" point, you had ample time to make your case. Nemu 17:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Whatever. The Prince of Darkness 17:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- So will you revert me if I readd the tag? Nemu 17:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- No, I can't be bothered dealing with you right now. The Prince of Darkness 18:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Once again, this is not a vote. The keeping arguments boil down to WP:ILIKEIT. There is no valid reason to keep the article. Nemu 21:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop with that. A grudge doesn't allow you the right to revert a clean up. TTN 18:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Do you even have a reason any more? TTN 18:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

On my talk page you wrote:
- I saw what TTN did to the Ben 10 episodes. Terrible isn't it? Some administrator should block him/her right away. He/she doesn't really contribute anything to Wikipedia, only merges articles whithout even discussing it thoroughly. I'm on the verge of quitting Wikipedia. Anyhow, I just want you to know that I support you 100%. The Prince of Darkness 23:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I see above you have already encountered him. Just want to say than-you. -- Jason Palpatine 23:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

RE: The Undertaker
Not entirely sure to be honest, I've seen both William, and Lucas, but there's noway to verify this unless someone can verify that they have accessed Texas birth records. Bmg916SpeakSign 13:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I completely missed the fact that you had moved the tag, not deleted it. My apologies. - Tiswas(t) 13:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Do not undo those
Use the discussion to voice your opinion. TTN 16:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- No thanks, I'm just going to keep undoing. You won't care about what I have to say anyway.
- I realize that you get all pissy over redirects, but that gives you no right to just randomly revert them. You will lose in the end if you bother to continue. TTN 16:48, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- It also does not give you the right to merge articles without explaining the cause. The Prince of Darkness 16:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- I did explain it on that talk page. A guideline is with me on this, also. You are the one that needs to explain how these fit WP:EPISODE before reverting. TTN 16:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't care squat about WP:EPISODE. You are no admin and you don't have the right to merge anything. The Prince of Darkness 16:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Admins are regular users with special buttons. They have no more rights than either of us. WP:EPISODE is a guideline, so you're just nonchalantly ignoring a rule of this site because you're angry? TTN 16:56, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not the only one who's angry. All the people who have dedicated their spare time to writing good articles, and later finds them merged, are also furious at you. PS: The admins do have more rights then us. PPS: You can be blocked for sock puppertry. The Prince of Darkness 17:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Just because people "work hard" on articles, it doesn't give them any worth. If I spent twenty hours writing an article about myself, does that mean it should stay? No, they do not have anything more than the respect of the community to handle a few special features. Their word has no more power than ours. What are you talking about in regards to sock puppetry.

Ah, so you're calling hard-working writers worthless?! Angie Y. 01:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- The articles are worthless, not the writers. Though, their time was quite wasted on those. TTN 01:39, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Good job on getting a picture. It was about time. TheBlazikenMaster 19:13, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. The article looked poor without an image. The Prince of Darkness 19:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for backing me up, PoD.
Thanks for backing me up, but I'm afraid TTN will come back again. Angie Y. 22:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's too bad. However, I still enjoy reading the Code Lyoko episodes in the article histories. The Prince of Darkness 23:01, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Is there any way we can revert the episodes back? People need to know every detail of each episode. Angie Y. 23:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- Not one that won't get you blocked in the end. Goto TV.com; it is a much better source for that kind of info. TTN 00:01, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
...
Seriously, what is up with you? Do you actually want that page to stay or are you just holding a childlike grudge against me? TTN 12:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Takk for at du gjorde meg oppmerksom på dette, jeg fikk meg et lite sjokk da jeg så det. Er det mulig å få omgjord innflettingen TTN har gjort, eller kan det hende at episodeartiklene ikke hørte hjemme Wikipedia (jeg er ikke 100 % sikker på hva som blir godtatt på engelsk Wikipedia)? Uansett planlegger jeg å ta det opp med brukeren. Takk for at du gjorde meg oppmersom på det og takk for støtten. Jeg ser at flere har støtt på TTNs redigeringer.Michae2109 22:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Whoa, whoa, whoa! I can't understand you. Angie Y. 12:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, but since PoD alerted me of TTN redirecting some episode articles I had started in Norwegian, I just thought it would be polite to respond in Norwegian as well. Here is a (rather crude) translation:
"Thanks for alerting me of this, I was quite shocked when I discovered it. Is it possible to revert TTN's redirectings, or maybe the episode articles dosen't fit with Wikipedia (I'm not 100 % sure about what is accepted on English Wikipedia)? Anyway, I'm planning on discussing the matter with the user in question. Again, thanks for alerting me of this, and thank you for your support. I see that other users has encountered TTN's redirects as well."
I'll take care on discussing in English here from now on. Sorry =)
Michae2109 13:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I need some help creating the section for Creatures and races. Do you think you could help? Thanks in advance! Taric25 16:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Waluigi
Please see its talk page. There was a new discussion with the end result being a merger. TTN 13:49, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- There was a discussion, so please stop. In the very least, please respond. TTN 13:51, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Revert on Tron Øgrim
I see no reason why you had to revert my edit because of a YouTube link that may not be included. __meco 10:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Klarer du ikke å fikse opp i det du gjorde? __meco 21:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if the edit diff's look as messy to you as they do to me. I have repaired what you did now without reinserting the YouTube reference. __meco 22:32, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Restore links
User:TTN has redirected every single episode article on the Teen Titans TV series (which I participated in writing articles for). I was wondering whether you know a way to restore the links to the episode articles (some of the redirectings he did were reverted by other users); do you have to be an administrator in order to do so? I highly disagree with his way of improving articles and he seems to be redirecting episodes on every TV series he encounters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michae2109 (talk • contribs)
- I, of course, agree with you. However, as per WP:EPISODE, there is little we can do. Only notable and well-sourced TV series episodes get their own articles, like The Simpsons. I don't want to continue my feud with TTN anymore, but I advise you to bring the articles back when you have more sources and references. PS: You don't have to be an admin to undo revisions. The Prince of Darkness 19:49, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for the advice. Seeing the intense discussion which now has erupted (a debate has sparked to life on [1]), I have decided to add more information on List of Black Lagoon episodes and possibly an own article on the two seasons of the series for now, instead of creating episode articles until I find some more sources. Michae2109 20:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know what to do either. All TTN does is delete and redirect stuff. He's not Jimmy Wales, you know. Angie Y. 20:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I still think what TTN did was wrong. He could have used common sense and he should have thought of others, not about himself. Angie Y. 18:15, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for the welcome :D TV2007 18:01, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Greetings!
I am User:LOZ: OOT. I have come to make The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time a featured article, perhaps even on the front page. Do you support me?
- Of course. However, I am quite busy on the Norwegian Wikipedia, so I won't contribute that much. The Prince of Darkness 16:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- There, the article's plot section is referenced. Now I hope to God nobody reverts my edits. I'm just wondering, though. Are the references I provided challenged? LOZ: OOT 02:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think references like nr. 14 and 15 are the best. You can find a lot of them on e.g. FFVII.
- Cool. But I did do OK, right? LOZ: OOT 04:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's a good start. The Prince of Darkness 09:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree
I know what you mean, and I'll get down to doing that shortly after I return from my scheduled Wikibreak set to start right now. When I return, the OoT FA rush will really begin. LOZ: OOT 23:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
Sorry
Yes, I have been to Gamespot, and yes, I am obsessed with Wikipedia. I know that the port on the VC was well received. I'm sorry if I completely reverted YOUR changes, but I thought I was reverting someone elses changes. Someone who was known to cause trouble, and it seems as though I misunderstood what happened. I'm sorry. LOZ: OOT 19:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not the person you should adress. The user who left you this message forgot to sign his/her name. The Prince of Darkness 19:46, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
- I know. SpigotMap made a mistake with the unsigned template. But now I feel kinda bad abbout reverting the edit, though I think we should add this versions reception to the "Versions" section. I apologize for the inconvenience. LOZ: OOT 19:52, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
