Welcome to my talk page. Here, you can personally discuss stuff about changes in articles and other related odds and ends. Here's how messages are to be exchanged here:

User X posts a message on my talk page.
I'll reply both in my talk page and User X's talk page (the latter serves to notify the use of any replies).
User X will need to post his/here reply in my talk page. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until exchange of messages ends.

The purpose of this is to avoid any fragmentation of dialog that would complicate future references.

Response time to incoming messages varies from time to time. Depending on the type of notice, automated bot messages will be store into a specific archive (in particular, image deletion notices that could occasionally flood my talk page).

List of pre-made characters in The Sims

Why are you deleted the section, for example Cassandra Goth was a child in The Sims and she grew to adult in The Sims 2. Please restore it back. You can find here at Answers.com. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.213.228.150 (talk) 03:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Reply: The deletion of the article is not my responsibility, because I do not have the privilege to do so. Besides, several other editors have voiced their comments on the article here, and have come to determine that the article is not useful from an entire encyclopedia's standpoint, so I don't feel that it's practical to consider an undeletion. However, if one would like to undelete an article that is concluded to be useless, he/she must build a case that provides reasonable justifications to do so (although this may not always be successful in returning deleted articles). I'm currently not in the position to do this, however, but you may feel free to try if you have legitimate evidence. Alternately, you may like to consider contributing in the Sims2Wiki, or similar Sims Wikis (try searching with Google). My apologies. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

The List of gangs in Grand Theft Auto series

Well, all (or, at least, most) of the issues warred over have been resolved! I just thought you would like to know; I revamped the article, according to discussions on the talk page, so, as far as statistics and whatnot are concerned, it is in practically perfect shape, except for the fact that one user persists to try to change "Vercetti Gang" to "Vercetti Crime Ring," but he'll be dealt with soon. But, anyways, I was just letting you know, man. Take care. BishopTutu 05:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help with the "List of GTA gangs" page.

It's become out of hand. I'm coming to you because I feel you're the only one who is as passionate about GTA as I am, and has done a great deal to try to resolve the GTA gangs page's issues. A user, who I'm quite confident is sockpuppeting, has been tampering with the article; I've nearly violated 3RR because of his proven incorrect edits. Someone requested page lockdown again until the Sockpuppeting case has been resolved, but it's been quite a while, and nothing has been done yet. I hate to resort to such efforts, bringing others into my fight, but I need your help it these matters, if you can. Klptyzm 17:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes, this is BishopTutu. My name has been changed, due to my original violating username rules. Klptyzm 17:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shoreside Vale is base off Staten Island and i can prove it!

1. Both Staten Island and Shoreside Vale have Airports 2. Both Staten Island and Shoreside Vale have Ghettos which the Ghetto of Whichata Gardens Looks like Staten Island Ghettos. 3.

Heyy

Hey Ring a Ding, how do you get your letters coloured like yours? Ace Fighter 21:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Changing a font's color is fairly simply, really. Just type:

<font color="Green">Green text</font>

or

<font color="#008000">Green text</font>

and you'll get this:

Green text

You can take a look at web colors#HTML color names and web colors#X11 color names for more on this. Happy editting. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 10:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

List of gangs...

Protection has been lifted; we need to set up references and discuss what all of us are going to do to the article. ♣ Klptyzm ^{Chat wit me § Contributions} ♣ 17:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for changing that on the GTA gang article. At least someone else agrees that they shold be lower cased. Craxy 17:53, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know how to earn a nomination as an administator? I'm new LAcfm 17:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: You may like to read Wikipedia:Administrators#Becoming an administrator and the rest of the page to learn more. Note that it's necessary to have a substantial amounts of experience, discipline, a good track record to earn your right to be an admin. Mind you, it may not be easy. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

SimCity 4: Rush Hour Expansion Pack

We shouldn't move it! The box cover clearly states that "expansion pack" is in the name. The title looks something like this:

SimCity 4

Rush Hour

Expansion Pack

— JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 20:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: GameSpot, IGN, MobyGames and eBay indicate otherwise. "SimCity 4: Rush Hour" is used far more frequently used than "SimCity 4: Rush Hour Expansion Pack". Neither have I've seen any EPs for The Sims include "expansion pack" in their title, even though their cover arts do (see Livin' Large, Hot Date, Unleashed, Nightlife and Pets for examples). ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 13:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Comments on Rush Hour article merger

Thank you for your help on the merging process in the SimCity 4/Rush Hour articles. I am sorry to hear you thought the merger was "sloppy" but organising all that information was not easy, and I was aware there would be gaps. So cheers for your additional help! Camaron1 | Chris 16:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Appreciate it. I have to admit that the tone of my edit summary wasn't appropriate though. It pops out every once in a while when I write anything, and while I don't often publish it onto Wikipedia, stuff like that do slip through on a handful of occasions. Cheers. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 16:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

No worries, I can understand why you said that so I didn't really take offence. Thanks again for your help. Camaron1 | Chris 16:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seems OK with me after the move. Anyway, can anyone get a box cover image? It would really help, because (I have to admit), I don't know how to get box cover images. — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 20:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't either unfortunately. You could always create topic on the SimCity 4: Rush Hour talk page, then maybe someone would come forward. Camaron1 | Chris 20:22, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yoot Tower's Status

Hi. I see you have Yoot Tower listed on your Watch list and would like to ask you on my additions to the article. I have significantly expanded the article from its humble beginnings and plan to add another image. Considering you seem to be the article's "cleanup man", I'd like to know if I'm making a better article or just creating sprawling lists. TheListUpdater 17:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: I just had a quick look at the article, and it's OK by the looks of the article's structure. I'll need to inspect it in detail though if when I have the time. Thanks for notifying. Btw, how do you know I was watching the article? ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 18:00, 23 April 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

I have tagged Image:GTAVCS_characters_Marty_Williams.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Updating Image:GTAVCS_characters_Marty_Williams.jpg

Would you mind if I upload a newer version of your image? It's pretty much the same one but of a sharper quality. .:Alex:. 08:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Sure, just make sure to name it as "Image:GTAVCS characters Marty Williams.jpg" (or "Image:GTAVCS characters Marty Williams.png" if it's a PNG image. Since the replaced image is no longer in use, you can go ahead and list it in Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion as well; no need to notify me again. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 08:54, 6 May 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Half-Life Fact File on Wikibooks

Hello, I have marked Half-Life Fact File for deletion on Wikibooks. It's not a textbook so we cannot host it there. I was thinking of moving this book to StrategyWiki, but they want only strategy guides. Do you know any wiki which would welcome this book? --Derbeth ^talk 19:51, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try the Half-Life Wikia. I'm sure they will gladly accept it. Thanks for notifying. I wouldn't had spotted this. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 05:55, 29 June 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Image tagging

You might want to check this out, a bunch of things you uploaded have no fair use and could get deleted...

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:25&limit=500&action=history

For some reason, it's not tagging back to you. I will stop tagging these to let the TW people know, but those need FU stuff. Freedomeagle 06:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A question about Image:HalfLife2 IsaacKleiner.jpg

When you updated it to the head shot version, what was exactly the reason? I just think it would be more useful to have a full body shot.

I will wait a few days for your answer, in case you don't/can't answer, I will attempt to revert it by myself. >>Itskamilo 19:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Importance is usually placed on the facial appearance of a character, as opposed to a full body shot, unless that is the character has peculiar features that is prominent in the game or series (the G-Man's suit and suitcase, Eli Vance's missing leg, Father Grigori's priest-like appearance and Winchester, Dog being, obviously, a homemade robot, and Alyx Vance's athletic build), as opposed to Wallace Breen (not much to note about his attire or physique), Barney Calhoun (wears a Metrocop suit already illustrated in full in one of the Combine sub-pages), Judith Mossman (same as Breen), Odessa Cubbage (same as Breen) and Isaac Kleiner (same as Breen). I do have headshots for all mentioned characters except Dog, btw. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 01:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Alright, sounds reasonable, but remember that Half-Life 2 is not Half-Life (1), there's only one scientific-like guy in the whole game, and I just think that it would be better to have a full body shot, anyway, it doesn't have much importance, if you think it's better to have a head shot, then it's OK. >>Itskamilo 12:42, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

bigger version of this: HalfLife2_City17_ToxicCanal.jpg

Do you have a larger version of this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/HalfLife2_City17_ToxicCanal.jpg

I ask because I really like the HL2 screens you've been taking, some of them are desktop-worthy. dethtoll 22:27, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Yes, just look in the file history section of the image's page. For the record, I did not take the version you mentioned, someone else did. My version (November 20, 2005) has a slightly different angle with some missing items (rubble in the foreground for example), although it is 1280x1024 friendly. If you want the exact version that you are referring to, ask User:Tom Edwards. Thanks. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:42, 9 November 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

I also have an original PNG version if you want. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 17:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]
