June 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Zombie Nation (video game) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: 'youtube\.com' (link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sZG7Y7CdTc) . If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image or a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thorougly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creators copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! XLinkBot (talk) 00:20, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm Rex

Thanks for telling me this. I am a 10-year old kid. I am kind of a nerd because of me knowing how to make articles. Thanks! but i am trying to help Wikipedia by making new articles. Rex57 22 August 2008 (UTC) Rex57 (talk) 21:24, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:CHILD. I am considering making the appropriate reports. Thank you, MuZemike (talk) 22:17, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting AfDs

Generally they are just tagged and moved on the main AfD log pages, as you said, but they don't move on the WP:VG/Deletion page; they stay under the header of the day they were originally nominated. Personally I like this better since it is easier to see when the discussion originally started, and since I try to keep the page up to date to show only open discussions, I see no need to move them to the top of the list.

Tagging redirects

I noticed that you are adding {{WikiProject Video games}} to redirect pages, but generally those are not tagged, and there is no Category:Redirect-Class video game articles. Did you want to propose creating this category? Because otherwise it just shows all of those talk pages as unassesed, which doesn't look good. MrKIA11 (talk) 13:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They get categorized as unassessed? That's not a good idea, then. I can undo them. MuZemike (talk) 14:16, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since there is no category for them, yeah. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 14:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smackdown vs Raw 2009 Roster

Please note:

AFDs should only be relisted if there are only two or three contributors or if the "votes" are pretty evenly split
When relisting an AFD it's necessary to move the transclusion from its original AFD day listing to that of the day when you relist it
If you don't know how to do that, please don't mark AFDs relisted

I have deleted this article as the vast majority of AFD contributors want it deleted. Stifle (talk) 09:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you keep the original transclusion at the original day (i.e. copy-and-paste to the current day), or do you just cut-and-paste to the current day? Thanks, anyway, I'll keep that in mind. I wish WP:AFD was more clear about this. MuZemike (talk) 13:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should cut and paste to the current day, because otherwise it messes up WP:OLD. Stifle (talk) 12:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you. I'll keep that in mind next time. MuZemike (talk) 16:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:CastlevaniaOriginalLogo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:CastlevaniaOriginalLogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you Kidding me?

Your going to delete the List of characters in Tales of Vesperia page just because it hasn't yet been put together. God Almighty, Stop getting your underwear in a twist, It was GOING TO BE FIXED. Lordy, your moving so fast that I can't fix this up. The game just came out a week ago so please, remove that deletion sign, it's just unbelievable you'd take this up so fast. I'm trying to keep this in Traditional previous Tales Wikipedia RPG Format.--Jack Cox (talk) 21:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please be WP:CIVIL. I will place the appropriate warning on your userpage. And no, I will not remove it. MuZemike (talk) 21:45, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarifications

Just FYI:

I do not run the IGDA website
Mathsci has been warned (and blocked) for harassment
I do not work with MacLean

Just thought you might be interested, --El on ka 17:40, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's why I tried to be as cautious as I could in what I have stated in the RfC. I didn't try to mean any disparaging in any way if you took it that way; I looked at what I was observing in the AfD. MuZemike (talk) 17:44, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Nintendo CfDs

I've been leading the transition of the old WikiProject Nintendo from a WikiProject to a task force, and nominated the Category:WikiProject Nintendo for CfD a couple of days ago. (I just nominated another one, a redundant member list category, in which we already have a separate page altogether for that, for CfD before reading the other CfD discussion.)

I should have been more clear on the reason for deletion in that there is really nothing to categorize, even as a task force. Our parent WikiProject, Wikipedia: WikiProject Video games, does not categorize articles as part of any task force — only if they are from other WikiProjects related to WPVG.

Anyways, someone (or yourself) will probably say the same thing about the CfD I nominated just now. So, if I get a consensus from the task force to delete the category, does that mean I can just ask any admin to delete it, or do I just tag it for speedy deletion (housekeeping)? Thank you for the help, MuZemike (talk) 17:49, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The simple answer to your last question is: Yes.

Merely point the admin to the relevant consensus. (And speedy deletion may also be an option, though again, you would have to point to the relevant consensus.) - jc37 00:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Combine Forces

Now that the AfD for Combine Forces has closed as a redirect (quite how he came to that conclusion I don't know, but as long as the article is disposed of its fine), can I recommend that List of humanoid and synthetic Combine in Half-Life 2 and List of Combine non-combat technology in Half-Life 2 both be AfD-ed as well, the former containing much of the same information, in the same style and often the same wording as Combine Forces, the latter just being a completely indiscriminate list of everything Combine-made in the game? -- Sabre (talk) 09:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done — get your galoshes out, because we have a blizzard coming. MuZemike (talk) 14:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No conflict of intrest

I made some blog posts the first time I saw The SNES game Maker articale. After it was deleted I reposted it so that others can read about it. Also other then that, I saw a delete notice for the raw vs. smackdown 2009 roster, after I post this I am going to make a post objecting to it's deletion based on whatever the articale currenly sayse because I haven't read it yet. I don't care what the rules are at this point, they can always be changed. I made a legitimate offer for it to remain up for 30 days until some undisputed sources can emerge and be placed in the articale. If it is deleted a 3rd time even after I have made the offer for it to say and at the same time my Unknown Creature, The(2005 movie) is not reposted; then that will prove to me that wikipedia favors the bigger man over the smaller man and I will call for everyone to boycott this site. No donations, No traffic, no nothin. I'm pretty popular with my internet web handle so they'll listen to what I have to say.
