Chrono Trigger multiple endings
Chrono Trigger is probably my favorite game of all time, but it wasn't revolutionary to have multiple endings when it came out. Here's tons more proof and references if you need it.

Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College football related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college football WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you! --Mecu 18:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Warning templates
In future, please use the {{spam[1-4]-n|article}} warnings because your warnings to HehEXE did not refer to the Wikipedia:External Links policy. Not everyone knows that Wikipedia's definition of spam includes the self-promotion of sites that do not complement articles.
Please see WP:TUSER for a full list of standard template warnings. Cheers, Netsnipe ► 21:24, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
External Links
Since you've been less than honest in reporting HehEXE for spamming to WP:ANI by selectively preserving a link to your own forum, I am placing you on notice that any continued links to your site not in the context of Wikipedia:Citing Sources will be treated as linkspam and removed per the Wikipedia:External Links policy. If I catch you (or any sockpuppet accounts) inserting this link into articles when inappropriate, I will have ALL links to your domain removed and blacklisted altogether. HehEXE has also been placed on notice for the same issue. Continued edit warring between either of you will lead to blocks. -- Netsnipe ► 03:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
I've reread the External Links policy. Tell me if I'm understanding the properly. I cannot add a link to me own site (despite it being relevant and useful) because it is a POV violation. However, I can put it up on the article(s)'s talk page(s) and if others think it appropriate, they can add it? Tell me if I am understanding correctly. Dlong 03:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes that is correct. However, you are allowed to add a link to you own site if you are providing a specific link as a reference. For example, as linked in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is allowed because it is a constructive link and not just mindless spamming. -- Netsnipe ► 04:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

No, look again. I linked to the user page of someone you firmly threatened to block if they vandalized again and they did. I was hoping you would take action. House of Scandal 20:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
3RR
Don't break 3RR yourself, please. I know this guy is out of his mind, but it's not OK for you to do it either. I filed a report; we'll just have to wait til someone gets around to blocking the guy. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 06:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
3RR / Tennessee Football
New day. :-) But yeah, I'll let any changes from him go from now on. I actually requested an intervention, but it seems like he won't be up to it. Thanks for the help. It helps to know that I'm not totally wrong here. Dlong 06:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, actually, Wikipedia is global, so it's 3 reversions in a 24 hour span. But no, the guy's hopelessly out of his mind promoting Tennessee; it's not a national championship when the other teams were undefeated, and only a few small polls rank you #1. If it continues, try posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football. Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 06:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oh no! Now my Penn State Nittany Lions are going to play Tennessee in the Outback Bowl, and it'll look like I'm not neutral on the subject. ;). PSU will lose, BTW ;).
- BTW, I see you trying to reason with this user on the page. I've been trying, and it's becoming clear that this is one of those cases where it becomes fruitless. Don't waste your time - I've tried this before, and it comes to nothing. Until this user acknowledges the arguments you've used (which invariably won't happen in this situation; he'll just keep repeating his own diatribe), just revert, and explain saying "not until you address my argument".

Lol, hey sorry. I'm not the same person that added vandalism if it was that person at all.

Hi. I was about to revert the edits made by the anon, but you did so first. Is it possible that there is any mathematical reasoning behind those edits, other than the POV? Some parts of that edit seemed to make sense, but it seemed to have nothing to do with 0.999..., so thanks for reverting. AstroHurricane001 18:40, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Peyton Manning
Please do not vandalize the Peyton Manning page. To verify the statistics that were added, you can refer to the following https:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4256 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/alltime/leaders?cat=tdpasses http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/alltime/leaders?cat=passyards
Thus, your allegation that the addition of these statistics amounts to 'vandalism' is false and incorrect.75.25.2.201
Improper threats
Your unsubstantiated allegations amount to a violation of the guidelines set by Wikipedian, and I intend to bring your actions to the attention of the administrators of this site.
Editing content on this site is a privilege shared by members of the Internet community. It is unfortunate that you seem intent on using a charge of 'vandalism' to attack others simply because their perspectives differ from yours.
As a new user to this site, I find it rather amusing, and sad that you take so seriously and personally the addition of facially-neutral statistics and information, but not surprising, given your previous history of conflict with other Wikipedian users on similar issues. To reiterate, I would appreciate if you did not mischaracterize content that conforms to the guidelines set by the administrators of this site. If you persist in further abuse, I will request that admin impose against you the very actions that you have laughably threatened me with. 75.25.2.201
Your bias towards Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts taint your ability to objectively monitor and remove content disagreeable to you. It is, infact known that Peyton Manning does a lot of commercials. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimstrauser (talk • contribs) 03:53, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Postseason statistics
I understand that you may not be very familiar or knowledgeable as to how sporting statistics are compiled and maintained in general, so I'd like to point out the following.
As a general standard, statistics that athletes compile in the postseason are not incorporated into all-time stats for most organized sports. This applies to football, as well as baseball, hockey, and basketball. For instance, if a pitcher notches a victory in the postseason, that W is not included in his career stats. Similarly, touchdowns that are thrown by a quarterback in the playoffs are not included as part of his career total. Thus the hallmark statistics in professional sports (Hank Aaron's 755 career HR's, Cy Young's 511 wins, Dan Marino's 420 TD passes, Ripken's 2,632 consecutive games played, Emmit Smith's 164 rushing TD's); all of these statistics, as a rule, encompass regular-season totals.
Thus, the statistics that have been added are correct in accordance with the standard that has been accepted by the governing bodies for almost every organized sport.
If you have a problem with the fact that the career statistics maintained by virtually every sporting database relies on this standard, then I suggest that you write to the NFL to argue that all-time stats should be completely revised to include postseason totals. Good luck with that. :)75.25.2.201

Peyton Manning Article overlapping edits.
Hi Dlong,
We both had edits at 15:43 hrs on this article. I reverted some nonsense in the Scandal section and what shows on yours was the removal of a couple of lines of text with unknown sources. They had no citations, so normally I'd mark them with {{cn}} for a day or so to allow the other editor to provide a reference. You might have felt differently, which is OK too. But I wanted to be sure that I'd not reverted some of your other changes, since I see that you have had some major activity on this article. Please let me know if I stepped on your edits.
Thanks!
Take care,
Larry
- Your edits were fine. I removed the pieces about Isidore Newman's coached\s I did because I didn't see that they were all that relevant, regardless of their truth, and the bit about Manning being the best QB was obvious POV. Dlong 21:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Uncategorized articles
Please be aware that putting a stub marker on an article, as you did with 1997 Lady Vols Basketball Team, isn't good enough - please put in an actual category. Stub categories are Wikipedia maintenance categories, not subject categories. Eli Falk 09:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Ladyvols.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ladyvols.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 05:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

note about User talk:MisterVol
Just a small note when dealing with editors who remove warnings from their talk page: don't bother replacing them or warning them about it... there really hasn't been consensus about this at all and almost all admins will look at the page history (a kind of "you can run but you can't hide" type of thing). Otherwise that that, I'm blocking this user right away. Thanks. Sasquatch t|c 18:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- I already banned those about 10 minutes ago and also semi-protected the page for a week... maybe he'll back off now. Cheers. Sasquatch t|c 19:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Jmfangio's disruptive behavior
Hey there. This is a comment I'm leaving in response to Jmfangio's disruptive behavior on either Talk:Peyton Manning or Talk:Brett Favre. I would appreciate it if you could go to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Disruptive behavior and help solve this situation; whatever assistance you can provide is quite helpful.

Kingdom Come is indeed an alternate universe and is already categorised as such via the Elseworlds category. Category:Elseworlds Titles is a (grand) child of Category:Comic book alternate universes so this entry is already under that. The user Deadpool is adding this category to large numbers of entries which are already children of that cat. This issue has been flagged by myself and others on the Comics Project, I and others have been trying to keep this issue under control and I have asked him repeatedly to stop adding the category to inappropriate entries. His only response has been to vandalise my user page (which I gave him a warning for). I hope that explains the issue. (Emperor 00:47, 21 August 2007 (UTC))

The edit summary you left here could be considered a Personal Attack. I know it is frustrating but you need to refrain form leaving comments like that. As far as removing the templates (when they are properly placed) that is considered vandalism. I left a warning on User talk:63.88.50.33 and User talk:204.115.188.46 for removing those templates.

Hi Dlong, just wanted to ask you not to give out "only warnings", except on extremely rare occasions of very disruptive vandalism (I personally never use it; IMO it violates WP:AGF). For normal vandalism like that, just give out a {{Template:uw-vandalism2}}. Thanks, and nice to see you fighting vandalism. :) · AndonicO Talk 21:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- See User talk:71.113.8.80, who has vandalized the same Peyton Manning page, and is probably a sock. I'm curious, AndonicoO, as to exactly how you're going to assume good faith for somebody who has repeatedly vandalized Wikipedia, and whose last act was to erase a page and replace it with "'hahahahah deleted...... <<< im a freshman'" Some things speak for themselves, do they not? Certainly some vandals do. How come you're not listening? I'm with Dlong. SBHarris 01:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

0.999... and long division
Dear mrs / mr Dlong,
This is a reaction to the rejection of my latest contribution to the lemma on 0.999...
I never thought that a simple observation on a simple truth of arithmetic would be considered to be original research. It is no research, just an observation. Is it original? - I really do not know. So I would like to know about the fine line between what Wikipedia considers "original research" and what can go for self-explanatory simple truth.
