New userboxes

Per the terms of the German userbox solution new userboxes should not be created in template space. Please read up on the current practices. That page has instructions on how to properly create userfied userboxes. --Cyde Weys 20:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NTL/Telewest channel numbers on TV channel pages

I noticed you changed the infobox on the Five (TV) page to read: NTL Telewest linking to separate articles NTL and Telewest. On the Five Life and Five US page it is formatted as NTL Telewest linking to one article called NTL Telewest which redirects to NTL. Meanwhile the majority of pages have separate entries for each platform (and some still have the old NTL channel numbers before last month's reshuffle as I only managed to get as far as ~200 when I went through the list and haven't completed the task). Which do you think is better, to list NTL and Telwest channel numbers as though they are one platform, separate platforms on the same line, or separate platforms on separate lines? - Lee Stanley 14:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think NTL and Telewest should be on the same line, as two platforms when the channel has the same EPG number, since there isn't an NTL Telewest article (as you said NTL Telewest redirects to NTL). However if NTL and Telewest have different EPG numbers for a channel I think they sould be on separate lines.--Dell9300 14:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC) (copied)[reply]
There shouldn't be any cases where the channel number is different on NTL and Telewest, as they have changed both NTL EPGs to match the Telewest one. I'm happy with your suggestion, and will copy this conversation to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_British_TV_channels and see if they agree over there before we go and change every infobox. Also, you can reply on your own talkpage as I have it on my watchlist :) - Lee Stanley 14:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed you changed another infobox this evening, so I highlighted my above comment. - Lee Stanley 17:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry!--Dell9300 17:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's OK. Just that the discussion for that infobox belongs there with the default template. So it's only fair. I think it likely they will agree, in which case I would be happy to help you with the task. - Lee Stanley 17:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We can do this now. Do you want to start at 101 and work forwards, and I'll start at the top end of the EPG and work backwards? - Lee Stanley 17:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's fine. --Dell9300 16:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)][reply]
How far have you got? I have done as far as 533: NASN, but there are a lot of gaps where the articles don't exist or haven't been separated from a worldwide article yet, so that equates to 35 edits. - Lee Stanley 18:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just to add to that, I've been sent a document detailing where some channels don't match EPG number, and which ones are only on one platform, so I'll go through those and mark on the relevant talk page that that's the case. - Lee Stanley 21:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandals

I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on.

However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary.

Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).

The edit summary appears in black italics in the following places: * Use the enhanced watchlist to see all recent changes in the watched pages, not just the last change in each page.

For more tips on how to avoid being mistaken for a vandal, please visit Steps You Can Take to Avoid Being Thought of as a Vandal.

While you do enter summaries about half the time, that is half the time you skip that very important step. Will (Talk - contribs) 23:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bionic Woman episode list

Please explain on the Talk page for The Bionic Woman why you deleted the episode list. If an episode list article has been created, that's fine, but a link should have been created. I have reverted that change. Also, as noted in the above note to you, please include in any edit summaries you do a brief explanationr regarding the reasoning, otherwise unexplained changes -- such as the one I'm writing to you about -- are likely to be reverted without question. Additional -- I see you have in fact included such a link. This misunderstanding is the reasson why you shoud always include an edit summary. Cheers. 23skidoo 19:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marple

Hello. I reverted because I feel that it is called Marple more than it is called Agatha Christie's Marple. For instance is most listings and IMDb it is called Marple:Name of Story (ie Marple:4.50 from Paddington), unlike Poirot, which is always called Agatha Christie's Poirot. I also do not believe that we can purely go by the opening credits, I think the TV listings and other sources combined are more reliable. When the programme was first commissioned a lot was made of it being called simply Marple, and also we musn't Americanise the title (as over there is airs as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple). If you choose to revert again, I most likely won't change it back, but I would prefer its stays where is. --UpDown 09:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Aberdeen

I have added Image:Flag of Aberdeen.gif you created to Symbols and mottos of Aberdeen but I cannot find any details on the origins, history or what the three castles represent (I always thought there was only one Aberdeen Castle...) I wondered if you know anything? Bobbacon 10:18, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have found out that the flag represents three castles that used be found in Aberdeen on three different hills. I know nothing else about them, not even if they existed in the same or different periods of time. Bobbacon 09:18, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BBC Radio 1

Please could you explain why you have changed the logo twice to a worse quality version? Thank You.  Tiddly Tom  20:31, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and by a quick look at the homepage of BBC Radio 2, it does not appear they have yet changed their logo. Should we not keep the old one until it is used widespreadly  Tiddly Tom  20:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed it so all the BBC Radio articles have the same size and shape of logo. Also the logo is only slighly worse quality. BBC Radio 2 and some other stations haven't updated their websites yet. Dell9300 20:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)#[reply]
Can we not get a better quality version of the logo? In my option it being smaller and better quality is better.  Tiddly Tom  20:50, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've updated the quality of my version so we both win (good quality and same shape/size as others). Dell9300 20:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Brilliant, Thanks.  Tiddly Tom  21:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Murder, She Wrote DVD releases

It wasn't the box set images that caused the problem- none of them are needed, they are purely decorative and adding nothing of value to the article. Non-free material should be used only as a last resort- please take a read of the non-free content criteria and this informative essay. Also, please be aware of the three revert rule- continuing to edit war could result in you being blocked from editing. J Milburn (talk) 20:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the case then there should be almost no images on wikipedia at all. Dell9300 (talk) 20:06, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The amount of time that images have been used in articles has nothing to do with it. It is up to those wishing to include the images (in this case, you) to demonstrate that their use is within our rules. What are they adding to the article? Why does that need to be added? What I am saying is the case- please read the non-free content criteria. You're right that a lot of images are used when they should not be- if you see any that are being used inappropriate, feel free to deal with them appropriately or drop me a line on my talk page. J Milburn (talk) 20:10, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Can I ask why you believe that single image is a useful addition? Is the design of the covers significant? If so, why is it not discussed in the article? J Milburn (talk) 20:36, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I apologise, I see that it is. I suppose a single image used like this is potentially useful, but if you're aiming for featured list status, there may be some questions raised about it. J Milburn (talk) 20:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I feel it is useful (as someone who takes note of design) to show it as the article is about the DVD releases and it is a picture of one of those releases. Dell9300 (talk) 20:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree to some extent- I am certainly not going to actively pursue the image's removal. Thanks for dealing with this issue. J Milburn (talk) 21:01, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Branigan Discography

I hope I'm not going to get embroiled in a controversy here, but there has been some thinking regarding Branigan's discography that it made sense to omit collections not officially released in the U.S. or UK. There are a number of reasons for this, not the least of which are that there are about a dozen collections from Indonesia, almost that many combining Latin America and the rest of the Asian Pacific, and several from South Africa.

I wish there was a less public way of bringing this up, as many who have done so in the past have found it a pandora's box, but it would seem that Remember Me was released without Laura Branigan's permission. In fact, it would seem it was actually released against her wishes. "Gloria 2004" and "Self Control 2004" were intended as one-off singles and released as such (not from an existing or forthcoming album). Branigan had been recording for some time with a mind to self-releasing an album, and had done the remakes to announce her return to the industry and appeal to old fans and potential new ones as she strove to put together a cohesive album. Reportedly, those behind the remakes inquired about the material she was working on, obtained MP3s, and whipped up some overdubs for a couple of the songs on spec. Branigan nixed the adulterated versions, rather vehemently when pressed. Upon her sudden death, these producers, aided by lax German copyright laws, rushed their spec demos to market, with little recourse for any Branigan representative.

A subsequent release by the same people was deceptively called Self Control but was the same material as Remember Me, with the addition of two versions of a song called "Reborn" which has no participation by Branigan in singing, writing or producing. If the first collection left room for objective difference of opinion, this collection seems to confirm the unscrupulousness of those at work.

Great work adding the Branigan navboxes to the singles articles, creating the Platinum Collection article and sprucing up the discography. But I wonder if you would consider removing the references to Remember Me from the album and single sections and deleting its article, under the editorial consideration of official releases only and due to the circumstances.

Thanks for your consideration, Abrazame (talk) 13:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know for sure it was an unoffical release because I have found no such evidence. And thanks for the praise by the way. Dell9300 (talk) 13:07, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, considering Self Control with "Reborn", what do you consider "official"? Branigan's representatives have posted a disclaimer about the release on her website. Abrazame (talk) 13:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just checked her website and, like you said, 100% unoffical so I will remove reference to it straight away. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Dell9300 (talk) 13:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Always a pleasure to run into someone who shares a respectful interest in Branigan. Adding insult to injury with Remember Me, the stateside artists who, with Branigan, produced the other material found therein (thereunder, vis a vis the overdubs) are less likely to see a proper, official release given the availability of this set. Plus, it was rushed out without being sent to radio or reviewers, which at least could have given Branigan the degree of profile such a posthumous release would otherwise earn from the likes of Billboard writers, dodgy as the fidelity and dubbing is, to mitigate their thievery. Abrazame (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On allmusic it says both the singles Gloria 2004 and Self Control 2004 were released by Dance Street, obviously making them unoffical. Link Do you know if this is true and if so should I remove them. I am asking because Self Control 2004 was already listed in the article before I edited it. Dell9300 (talk) 16:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Gloria 2004" and "Self Control 2004" were recorded by Branigan in late 2003 with the intent of their being professionally remixed and released by Dance Street. Branigan approved the mixes on those two maxi singles, in all ten mixes of two songs, and they were released prior to her August 2004 passing. It was through this legitimate contact of two inches that the company, upon her death, took a mile. It is the Dance Street releases from after her death which (in addition to including unprofessional spec overdubs and in the case of "Reborn" an entirely different performer) are unauthorized and unofficial, as that disclaimer states. These include the EP Remember Me and the 2006 "album" Self Control, as well as the maxi singles "The Challenge" and "The Winner Takes It All".

The determination to include "Self Control 2004" but not "Gloria 2004" in the discography was because the former had placed on a chart while the latter had not, and the criteria being used for the table was those singles which had hit a national chart. Abrazame (talk) 11:09, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Incidentally, as you can see from the AllMusic link, Dance Street and ZYX are used interchangeably for some of the same material as the two have a distribution deal, but any release by either company other than the two initial single-song maxi singles are part of the identical scheme. Abrazame (talk) 11:20, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are to be highly commended on your amazing work to Laura Branigan's discography! Namely fixing up many of DottyWestFan1's unintentional mistakes, and creating the new 'Shine On' page. Thanks! Kind regards, WhakoJacko2009, 10:08, 3 July 2010 (AEST)


Laura Branigan singles

Hi Dell9300, I noticed that you've been adding extra singles into Branigan's discography page, I find it hard to believe that none of the singles you've added have charted... Anywhere! Anyway, did you add the info knowing that they never charted, or did you just leave that part blank? Thanks User: WhakoJacko2009 19:20, 4 January 2010 (AEST)

Hi, the singles (and compilation albums) I added may indeed have charted but I don't know how to find out. I have searched on Google but I can't find anything but really that is because I don't know where to look. If you could help it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Prince of Persia

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Template:Prince of Persia, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Neelix (talk) 17:58, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Celine Dion Signings

Please do not change Celine's signings in the infobox. The infobox should only pertain to signings, and not imprints traced to the artist around the world. The reason why Celine was imprinted with Columbia, and not Epic, in Europe and Canada is because her catalogue is actually sold by her original signee, Sony Music Canada, who uses the Columbia label. The content creator, on the other hand, is Epic Records in the US up until 2007, and 2007 onward is Columbia Records.

Columbia Records as a standalone company exists in two places: NYC (original standalone company for many decades) and London (a division of Sony Music UK). Every other "Sony Music (insert country name here)" company uses it as an A&R imprint- they don't actually operate companies or standalone divisions called Columbia. Celine's first major signing was in 1986 to CBS Records Canada, (CBS became Sony Music globally on Jan 1, 1991), while Sony Music Canada used the Columbia logo on her (since she worked with the "columbia" a&r team at Sony Music Canada).

Then Celine in 1990 went on to sign with (more powerful, globally distributed) Sony affiliates in the US, but in the US they operate as standalone companies since there's several companies in a large Hollywood entertainment industry; There is not just one central "sony music" company in the US. Specifically she signed with Epic Records company through their (former) 550 Music subsidiary label. However, even though she signed other Sony deals in different countries, her original signee - Sony Music Canada - is still the worldwide sales agent of her work as they have worldwide first dibs on her copyrights. Sony Music Canada is still responsible for selling the album to Sony-affiliates outside of the US, hence Sony Canada is selling their "Columbia" item to European Sony-affiliates. Notice in the infobox it rightfully indicates she is still on Sony Music Canada, because for as long as she's involved with Sony anywhere in the world, she is still legally tied to her original sony affiliate- sony music canada.

Nevertheless, even without this complex explanation, it is irrelevant what label is used in other markets where the artist is not signed, for the infobox. For example, in Japan, Sony does NOT have the rights to the Columbia trademark, hence every single Sony artist ever, whether on Columbia or most other Sony labels, is released in Japan with the Epic Records imprint instead, by Sony Music Japan. Does that imply that we go to every Sony artist's infobox and insert Epic?? Indeed not! Imperatore (talk) 05:05, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Songwriting credits in album track listings

Hi! Thanks for all your hard work on the Cher albums. Unfortuantely, I've had to revert your edits on the All I Really Want to Do article. The guidelines set out at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums specify that songwriter's full names should be listed upon their first occurrence in track listings - not just their surnames. This is also supported by the examples laid out at Template:Track listing. I'm not sure whether you were aware of this or not, but this is standard Wikipedia practice for all album articles. In addition, albums that were originally released as vinyl records, should have their sides designated as Side 1 or Side one, rather than Side A or Side B. Anyway, I just wanted to make these points so that you can edit in compliance with Wikipedia guidelines in the future. Keep up the good work! --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 15:26, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

M People Singles

I've just noticed that you have changed the list of singles of M People, who's pages I'm currently writing and updating. How Can I Love You More and How Can I love you More (remixes) are two separate releases and you have shifted the order of the singles before I've had a chance to fill in both entries. The list of singles should be in this order: How Can I love You More, Colour My Life, Someday, Excited, How Can I Love You More (Mixes) etc... can you revert the list to its original line up, so I can create a page for How Can I love You More? I hope this makes sense and can happen. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebuaki (talk • contribs) 19:01, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate "How Can I Love You More?" had two releases however the second is a re-release with new mixes so according to Wikipedia guidelines both singles should be mentioned in the same article. This is due to the fact Wikipedia articles should be about a song not a single, which in many cases is the same thing but in this its not. The article should therefore be about the song, "How Can I Love You More?", which was first released as a single in 1991 and re-released in 1993. The same applies to "Colour My Life" which was also released twice. The content you were planning to write for the original release of "How Can I Love You More?" should now be incorporated into the already existing article.
Anyway, thank you for your hard work in creating these articles. They have been needing creating for a long time, especially since all of the singles are top 40 hits! Dell9300 (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dell9300! I noticed that you upload great album covers. I was wondering if you could upload the cover of Faith Hill's "The Way You Love Me". I uploaded the correct cover, but I don't think it has the correct colours. Can you fix it? Thanks. Novice7 (talk) 14:05, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The discography isn't very long, neither is the main article. I think it's too soon for a split. Mind if I put it back for now? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:46, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I thought there was/would be too many tables to have the discography in full in the main article. Is this not the case? —Dell9300 (talk)
You'd have to have way more tables than that before the article starts going haywire. I've seen much longer articles that keep the discographies in the main article. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:20, 28 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
So are you okay with me just merging the discography back? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 23:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I guess so for now but please keep the tables the way they are now as not only did I move the discography to a seperate page, I also added/expanded what was originally there. —Dell9300 (talk) 15:42, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You and I (Celine Dion song)

Hi, the cover that was in the article for the last 8 years is official. As you can see for example here: 1 or here 2 that cover was released in Canada and Europe. The cover you have added is also official but released in Australia only. So, if you want, you can add the second (yours) cover in the bottom of the infobox but please stop removing the official cover that was released in Dion's home country and most countries. PS. in Japan, Sony released the third cover but it does not include Celine's photo :) —Max24 (talk) 10:39, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I accept your argument. However, the cover that you uploaded in 2006 (which I was referring to) is fake, but you have now replaced it with the official one so all's well I guess. — Dell9300 (talk) 11:25, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Dell! You've recently done a wonderfull work with your edit. Nice. You reminded me I planned to transform these tables from here from vertical to horizontal like here and to keep the original colors. That stopped me to do further work because I don't know how to use colors in the system of the second table. Also I want to keep the vertical table to be mounted inside their respective article.

Wikipedian in Residence at the National Library of Scotland

GTA V cover

Hello, just thought I would explain my reason for reverting back to the original jpg cover, in order to avoid an edit war. My understanding of the image guidelines allows for removal of the region ratings (PEGI, ERSB etc) and platform indicators, to make a platform/region neutral version of a cover. I don't think it allows for removal of the Rockstar logo to make something that isn't Rockstar's version of the cover. If you want we can take it to WT:VG and get them to clarify what editing is and isn't allowed.

There are also other minor differences between your version and Rockstar's, like the way the logo is closer to Trevor's face in your version but further away in Rockstar's, this is probably caused by minor tweaks that Rockstar made before revealing the final version of the cover.

I actually prefer the version without the Rockstar logo, it fits in with the style of the other covers Rockstar released without logos. If WT:VG say its OK to remove the Rockstar logo, could you redo the cover using the logo spacing of the current cover, with the "behind the logo" part of your cover? - X201 (talk) 13:31, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Right okay, well I actually got the cover from the Collector's Edition shown here and cropped it down to size. This cover (also officially released by Rockstar) was actually revealed after the original standard edition so it is likely that they've updated the spacing of the logo closer to Trevor's face. —Dell9300 (talk) 14:11, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In that case then, I think we've cracked it :-) There are three different versions of the cover. The master version appears to be the one that Rockstar revealed on their website as the official artwork. The other two are the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. The Xbox 360 one has been made narrower which has caused the logo to move. The PS3 version is shorter and wider which also causes the logo to move.
Can I suggest a solution? If we use the "Official" image as the base and then cut the car from the PS3 version and scale it down to fit the "Official" version. That way, we end up with a platform neutral version as the guidelines allow. What do you think? - X201 (talk) 14:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've been bold and done it. What do you think? - X201 (talk) 18:23, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I agree with that, and thank you for doing it. I've been quite busy lately. One other thing I've noticed though is the background behind Trevor is different. On the cover from the Collector's Edition the skyline has been moved down so that the light blue sky is shown in between the logo rather than the purple. —Dell9300 (talk) 17:55, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that's what it was :) I was looking at Trevor and thinking there was something wrong, but my brain just didn't register what it was. Will sort it. - X201 (talk) 11:18, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gloria (Umberto Tozzi song)#Laura Branigan version

Branigan was American, and the UK image looks almost the same as her album Branigan. Sure, the caption tells all, but I would like something that fully represents the production of the rendition and the origin of the singer. --George Ho (talk) 19:18, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I added the image back but not to replace the UK image. George Ho (talk) 19:22, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Just wanted to thank you for the time you took creating the PS2/PS4 article, I'm the guy with the 186.50.63.250 and 186.55.79.10 IPs (but that last 94.1.230.0 IP isn't mine), and I just wanted to let you know that I will try to help you by editing the article when a new PS2 re-release is announced for the PS4, I know that my edits might have some mistakes but I'm trying my best to learn more about how to edit properly and trying to replicate your work done. So yeah, will try to help the best I can! Cheers. --PSNFinozzi1696 (talk) 16:59, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that, thank you, and if I have inadvertently helped someone join Wikipedia to edit and help out that is great! Don't worry if you make a mistake or two as I will check it over and put them right for you. You can then review my changes if you like, to see what I may have changed. All the best – Dell9300 (talk) 19:17, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah you did! I mean I have been visiting this site since 2007 more or less but this is the first time I created an account here, just because I wanted to introduce myself properly and well I didn't like to continue making anonymous edits. Will surely try to always review your changes, since I also don't want to annoy you by making bad edits :) and well since we are talking about PS2 games have you bought any of these re-releases from the PS Store? I'm one of those "trophy hunters" type of people so I bought some of my favorite ones because it's really fun to me trying to get all of their trophies and thus unlocking the Platinum trophy from my favorite PS2 games. --PSNFinozzi1696 (talk) 23:14, 23 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, cool. Yeah I bought the GTA trilogy day one which was a blast to play through again. Interested in others too, especially Bully, but after diving straight in with the GTAs and then them being on sale not that long after I'm going to hold off for a while. Though saying that I don't regret paying full price for them (being a fan I just had to) and would totally do so again if/when the GTA Stories come to PS4. I'm a trophy hunter too; I actually noticed you on PSNProfiles yesterday. That's a site I have been using for a while now but only just recently started posting on the forums, so I will see you there... – Dell9300 (talk) 13:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I know what you mean, I bought GTA 3 when it was first released back on December and 3 months later it was on sale, but I think it's actually good that you bought them at full price, since this means that Sony will continue to see more profits and success from this PS2 emulation thing and that will result on them wanting to make more deals with more companies to bring more PS2 games with trophies to PS4. So yeah it's a nice way to support this emulation and thus continue to receive more games from it :) I was surprised seeing a friend notification from you there, I didn't thought you knew that site! that's awesome. I actually have one of my most popular threads in there called "Wishlist of PS2 games on PS4", which has over 400+ replies by now, and if you didn't saw it already you can go if you want and type what PS2 games you want to see next on PS4 http://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/33146-wishlist-of-ps2-games-on-ps4/ See you in there then! :) --PSNFinozzi1696 (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List Help

Hello,

I see you fought to Keep articles like List of Games with Gold games and List of Instant Game Collection games (North America) some years ago. I started a List of free Epic Games Store games based on those two articles, which was quickly deleted. I think such deletion was too hasty and incorrect based upon the discovery that 'List of Games with Gold games' and 'List of Instant Game Collection games (North America)' already survived the articles of deletion.Would you be willing to fight Keep for the Epic list on Deletion review?

Thanks
