1.0 Collaboration of the Week

Hi, I noticed you signed up as a member of the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. Recently, a 1.0 Collaboration of the Week was created to work on essential topics that are in need of improvement, which will ultimately go in a release version of Wikipedia. You can help by voting, contributing to an article, or simply making a comment. Thank you for your support. :) Gflores ^Talk 07:59, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Darren Shan WikiProject

Hi, I noticed you both started and shut down the WikiProject on Darren Shan because he didn't approve of it. Was this of the article as a whole or the project, since I wrote the original article (for my sins - it was terrible) and had planned to help with this project? As a long-term DS fan and contributor to his boards, I'm not aware of any objection he had before now. Any clarification/quotes from DS would help a lot here. Many thanks. -Sir Ophiuchus 11:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, seeing as the project did not have many supporters (apparently), I e-mailed Darren asking if he could tell people about it using his website. I thought that he would be enthusiastic about it, but he sent me back an e-mail talking about how he doesn't approve of Wikipedia articles about his books because he feels that they give away too much plot information. So I decided that, based on that, I should shut the project down. -AtionSong 14:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Version 1.0 "Release Version Qualifying"

Hi, I'm interested in your feedback on Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Qualifying. It's essentially an idea to use a process similar to WP:FAC to identify and handle articles and lists that would go in a release version. Maurreen 19:41, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP 1.0

I thought since you are interested in this project you might be interested to see a CD version of en now exists see Wikipedia:Wikipedia-CD/Download & 2006 WP CD Selection. This is being discussed on the 1.0 project pages but progress breeds enthusiasm so I thought I would let you know. --BozMo talk 09:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1.0 category vote -- minor edit

Hi AtionSong, on the 1.0 main talk page, I edited a word in one category label (language-->communication) per the last version mentioned on the core topics talk page. You and Martin already voted on that. If you disagree, I don't know what the step to revise is. I leave that up to you and Martin and whomever. Revert I guess.

By the way, I posted some ideas about expert review on the release version subpage and then I copied your passage from the main talk page about 3 step review there. Seemed to fit there too. I won't be working much on 1.0 for a few months. Perhaps sometime we can chat about ideas about expert review processes. Take it easy, --Vir 19:20, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont even know who you are, why did you leave that message? i dont vadilize.

Cooking Mama: Cooking with International Friends proposed for deletion

An article that you have been involved in editing, Cooking Mama: Cooking with International Friends, has been proposed for deletion. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. :) Dlohcierekim 14:39, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pokémanics anon

Backmasking

Thanks for adding that detail, but please:

Remember to mark your edits as minor only when they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). "The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'."

WikiProject Musicals

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because your name is listed as a participant in WikiProject Musicals (previously WikiProject Broadway) or I feel you may be interested in the project. It seems that the project has laid dormant for quite awhile, but I would like to work toward getting it up and operative. I have a few ideas that I've outlined on the talk page, and would love your input. Working together, I think we can signifigantly improve the quality of the articles relating to musicals on Wikipedia. — Music Maker 06:17, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Longest Poem

You really think you can get 1.8 million words? How many subpages would you need? bibliomaniac15 21:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Darren Shan Spoilers

Hey, List Of Characters From The Saga Of Darren Shan is my artical. Keep the spoilers up. That's why I put a warning. BECAUSE THER WOULD BE SPOLIERS!!!

Did Darren say that?

Did Darren say that? Harkat is a main character. They spent all of the Lake Of Souls tring to find out who he was. And The Vampire Prince was mainly about Kurda so I think he should have an artical.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Darren Shan

I note that the project listed above has a tag on it saying that you were "shutting it down". I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I have nominated it for deletion on that basis, as well as its inactivity since that date. If I'm wrong, please respond to that effect on the discussion page. Thanks. Badbilltucker 23:15, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's fine if you shut it down. Thanks for checking in with me first. -AtionSong 23:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats!

I hereby award AtionSong the Surreal Barnstar for challenging Wikipedia to write the World's Longest Poem! NauticaShades^(talk) 13:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

/World's Longest Poem nominated for deletion at MfD

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I nominated your user subpage /World's Longest Poem for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:AtionSong/World's Longest Poem. Nothing personal, it's just not something that belongs here. —Doug Bell ^{talk•contrib} 00:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:AtionSong/World's Longest Poem (second nomination). — Whedonette (ping) 20:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm part of Wikiversity's garbage detail, and I think the "World's Longest Poem" would be a good learning project for people at Wikiversity. If it is sucessful, it could also bring some publisity. As it might get deleted over here, I sugest that you could move it to Wikiversity's site. I'll talk to people over their to see where it might go. What do you think?--Rayc 04:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AtionSong, I would personally recommend this. Really, the page is violating many policies, and Whedonette's argument is strong. If you don't want to see the poem go for good, this might be your best option. Yuser31415^@? 22:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we're on the losing side here. You may want to save the text on your computer before it gets destroyed for ever. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't worry about that. If it is deleted and you want to get the text, I will provide it to you if you ask. —Doug Bell ^talk 22:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the World's Longest Poem

Hi, AtionSong, would you agree to moving the said poem to the sandbox? That way, we could get a larger scope of contributors, and we could possibly avoid the deletionists hounding us. bibliomaniac 1 5 01:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Probably for the better. -AtionSong 22:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Man, they overhauled the whole page and changed pretty much everything. bibliomaniac 1 5 04:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't happen to know you in rl, would I?

Sorry if I don't, but I think a friend of mine has a similar user name. -- Chris is me 03:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah Chris, it's Aaron. Good to hear you're coming back this summer. -AtionSong 00:58, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy crap! I'll be there next summer. I'm guessing you'll be back also? -- Chris is me 21:21, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(unrelated) will you still be doing a KTIM podcast? -- Chris is me 21:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. I sort of have this problem. See, I'm an idea person, but usually I don't actually do anything. So, probably, no. Sorry. -AtionSong 22:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thanks

You are very welcome, kind sir. Random question: Are you a part of Unfiction? --Quadraxis 20:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. Under the same username. -AtionSong 20:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Duke Nukem Forever

I made some improvements to the "Plot" section after you failed the GA nomination. I'm really at a loss for coming up for a better structure - can you give any further suggestions in this area? Hbdragon88 01:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Welcome

Hi, AtionSong. I wanted to say thanks for welcoming me a while ago. Also, sorry about accidentily deleting a huge chunk of the World's Longest Poem; It was one of my first edits ever, and I really don't know what went wrong. I think that that's a really cool project; you definately deserved the Barnstar. Thanks again. FerralMoonrender 00:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RFF#Destination ImagiNation

I saw your request for feedback regarding the above article. I have given it an initial precis and done some minor editing in the process. My initial impression is quite positive, on the whole. There were some things that needed sorting in the grammar department. Slang is too informal in tone for an encyclopædia, so I replaced uses of kids with children. You may wish to change some or all of those for students or pupils (if that term is used in the U.S.). Be careful about incorrect use of plural verbs and adverbs: sentences that use team should always be singular, yet many such instances were pluralised. For example: the team was given a challenge is correct, but the team were... is wrong. References and notes need improvement, specifically in their formatting and the information available. You have used hyperlinked URLs, but you should have much more info. Here's an example:

Title of article/page example.org, September 20 2006. Retrieved on April 22 2007.

In this instance, the link is incorporated into the article's title, followed by the website's name, then the date of publishing if available (ie, for a news article) and finally, the retrieval date. You don't need to use templates (in fact, they make for more typing) but they are useful as a formatting guide. Different sources obviously have their own requirements. Use Template:Reflist to provide small text in the Refs section.

I like the structure of the article: it is balanced, factual and well quite well laid out. I would rather see note #3 incorporated into the text of the article, right where the ref has been placed. It is directly relevant to that section, but is does work as a note. Notes are supposed to be brief contextual clarifications of statements, rather than statements in their own right.
There are two noticeable weak areas: the Criticisms section absolutely needs to be sourced as a priority; if that cannot be sourced, it should really be removed. What the article obviously lacks is any form of conclusion: I was left wondering what, if anything, this program has actually achieved.

I hope that helps you in your effort to improve this article. If I think of anything else in the meantime, I'll let you know, and if you have any questions or would like further help, feel free to contact me. Adrian M. H. 20:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:DestinationImaginationLogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:DestinationImaginationLogo.gif. 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. Aksibot 14:17, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peasants quest

I merged it, because it seemed it would be a non controversial merger so a formal merger wasn't needed. Also, the article has no information on how the game was created, it has no reviews or commentary from external sources on what people thought of the game, and probably no hope of getting any of those things. So, I merged it into World of Homestar Runner, where perhaps as part of this article, it will be able to reach Good Articles status.

Actually, I did create the article Show Choir

A while ago you posted saying that I did not create or contribute to the article Show Choir. But in actuality, I did create it, here is proof:

[[1]] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jakewater (talk • contribs) 00:26, August 22, 2007 (UTC).

What the hell?

How the Hell was I mean to you? I didn't swear or anything! You're waaaaaaay too sensitive.

You also jump to conclusions way to easily. Why the Hell did you assume that I did not create the article without even checking the history.--Jakewater 01:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hell isn't a swear... It's a name of a place. All I wanted from you was an apology for jumping to conclusions, and now you're making a really big deal out of it. All you have to do is apologize, and this whole little "tiff" will be over with. --Jakewater 01:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

At least I can admit when I'm wrong, unlike you! And how the Hell could you say that there is seriously something wrong with me??? You don't know ANYTHING about me! Even if you did know me, and you thought that there was something wrong with me, then you should keep those nasty comments to yourself!--Jakewater 01:50, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a matter of fact, you did make me cry. Are you happy now, knowing that you made a little boy cry? I don't think I've ever met anyone on the internet as mean as you before. Tell me, does it give you pleasure to hurt people's feelings? Does it raise your self-esteem? Please tell me, I'm actually interested in knowing.--Jakewater 02:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to always be on Wikipedia. I think that you should take this test, maybe it will make you realize how addicted to Wikipedia you are, and then you will quit, and go out into the real world: http://tools.wikimedia.de/~merphant/cgi-bin/wikiholic.cgi --Jakewater 02:16, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Demonata Book 7

Just want to tell you that I can't cite the reference to Bec narrating Book 7. At the Edinburgh Book Festival, Darren Shan said that the first line of book 7 is 'It's strange, being alive again', and I'm not sure whether or not there is any official source of this on the internet.--Andy mci 21:54, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
