Wee

Omg, an admin finally felt good enough to post this on my page!. I congratulate ye! ;p--Izno 03:08, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. Nope, I'm not an admin. Just an editor like everyone else. I saw your edit on the Washington Park Railway and I try to welcome new people who edit Oregon articles. Cheers! Katr67 03:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! That was just a random edit; god knows why I even clicked on the link in the first place. xD. I'm not exactly new to wikis; I'm very familiar with Wowwiki actually... >_>--Izno 03:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Link to WoWwiki

No, it's a way to start getting rid of the player tips. You're welcome to revert your edit. - Denimadept (talk) 02:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WoW simplification

Was that just to make the article simpler, or was there some other reason to remove existing links? - Denimadept (talk) 22:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will respond at T:WoW. --Izno (talk) 22:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Carter slur

Hi, I would like to apologize for the actions committed under my username to Ronald Reagan. I am currently at a Memorial Day party and did not sign out of my account, enabling my brother to vandalize the page. I am sorry for the trouble. You will see that I am an experienced editor, as well as a main editor of the page, and am committed to improving and expanding Wikipedia. Best, Happyme22 (talk) 21:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming of account on fr.wp

The name "Izno" has been freed on fr.wp for you. Regards, Blinking Spirit (talk) 06:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was me, and you're welcome ^^ Blinking Spirit (talk) 06:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment.

Thanks for the visit. Kyaa the Catlord (talk) 07:19, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{Inuse}} on World of Warcraft

Thanks for swapping out that tag - I knew there was something I'd forgotten to do when I finished my editing session last night. I'm hoping to get the Development, Pricing and Legacy sections sorted out next, before finally moving on to Setting and Gameplay. Once that's done, we can get the content from the Criticism article sorted out. Let me know how you think it's going, or if there's anything I've missed. Many thanks!

Goatse! Goatse! Goatse!

Hi. Would [1] satisfy your call for reliable sources with substantial coverage?--Fangz (talk) 19:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MU* task force

What exactly do they cover then? I thought it was multi-user anything correct? So wouldn't anything that fell under WP:MMOG be multi-user? MrKIA11 (talk) 13:00, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OIC. Thanks for explaining, MrKIA11 (talk) 20:23, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MfD misunderstanding

I think I misunderstood about what you were saying about the task force memberlist. I thought you were implying for a while that task forces shouldn't monitor members but was instead claiming that they shouln't have their own subpages; in that case I do agree. BTW, I speedy-merged the Nintendo memberlist into the left panel of the page itself. MuZemike (talk) 18:51, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you edited my user page?

Hi, I don't mind at all, so don't take this as any kind of problem please. I use my user page to remind me of things and where to locate them and so forth. You did this edit, [2] with saying you were uncategorizing. Did I make a mistake? All I would like to know is the error you found so that I don't do it again. I am not the best of editors but I am always willing to learn and I don't mind being corrected at all. I just don't understand the difference you made. Thanks for your time, --CrohnieGal^Talk 13:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks for the quick response, I understand, sorry for the extra work, I didn't know. I appreciate any fixes I need, hopefully I won't need anymore anytime soon! ;) Thanks again for your kind explanation and quick response, --CrohnieGal^Talk 13:21, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Links to WoWWiki in Warcraft (series)

Correct me if wrong, but I believe interwiki links qualify as external links and should therefore go at the end of an article (despite their intrawiki-style links). Maybe you know? I for one don't like to be unwittingly linked to a different Wiki project like this. I have reverted myself in the meantime.--Atlan (talk) 17:12, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image from MMO RPG

OK, so what is rational for removing the image? --Flightsoffancy (talk) 00:44, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NFCC#8, which was quite prominent in the edit history, if not linked. --Izno (talk) 00:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

This is what you refer? (I am learning :)). "8 Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." I can understand it did not _significantly_ add to the topic. Cheers. --Flightsoffancy (talk) 02:05, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

lightmouse & WoW

You realize that lightmouse is a bot right? No matter how often you revert it, lightmouse is a mindless program and will continue to remove the 1994 link in line with the wikipedia policy that it enforces. You can't win. Just saying... :) Timmccloud (talk) 04:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawl request

I'd like it if you would withdraw the RFA for me with my consent. Maybe you're right. AdirondackMan (talk) 06:47, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't a joke

The edit I made wasn't a joke; perhaps in the future you'll get the difference though. Thanks! 92.236.246.150 (talk) 03:24, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh! Like your sarcasm, though if you cannot think of a mature reply; I wouldn't reply at all. Thanks! 92.236.246.150 (talk) 03:27, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New straw poll

You are a user who responded to RFC: Use of logos on sports team pages. As someone interested in the discussion a new straw poll has been laid out to see where we currently stand with regards to building a consensus. For the sake of clarity, please indicate your support or opposition (or neutrality) to each section, but leave discussion to the end of each section. — BQZip01 — ^talk 23:26, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: WP:FICT

As I wrote there:

I'm sorry I thought this was a poll, not a discussion where we can question each others rationals underneath each other, if that is the case, I will start commenting above too. Kraftlos, Izno please refactor out your comments to the above support section, not here. You can remove my comments too.Ikip (talk) 12:09, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No fun

Heh, I'm in a "no fun" mode during February, I'm compiling a summary of the WP:RfA Review answers and I've got a bunch of "RFA wisdom" in my head that keeps leaking out before it's ready. (I want to make sure the final product is put together by everyone who added something to the mix, not just me, but that means I can't talk about it ... arg.) One thing that's been said a few times (including by crats) is "Don't talk about the odds we're going to hit 100"; talking about RFA as a "race to win" has generated some friction in the past. (That's an example of something I can't say ... oops, just said it :) Watchlisting. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 13:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A little something for you...

		The Lonely Geek Barnstar
		This barnstar is in honor of your depressing, unloved presence on IRC on Valentine's Day, 2009. Roses and kisses work for some, but you, noble Wikipedian, have important things to discuss on the internet with people you barely know who you'll probably never meet. Here's to you! FlyingToaster 20:28, 14 February 2009 (UTC) [reply]

The Game

Please go read the RfC discussion before you edit. Your edit summary shows that you have not, since in it you ask what the result of the discussion was. One of the results was the realization that there are tons of free logos that can be used in place of non-free images. See the list at WP:FBS logos. See how the bulldog, which is a copyrighted image, is no longer present, it is just a letter Y. Also, the Harvard shield qualifies since it is just a letter H and a simple shield shape, it is also not subject to copyright.--2008Olympian^chitchat 03:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand what I mean. Consensus has not been reached on the use of non-free images in sporting articles, and I did not mean to in any way imply that it had. These images, however, are not non-free images. They are free replacements, and are not currently at issue. That is something that developed from the discussion as a way of removing a lot of the current problem. Not every school has a free logo alternative and there are also some pro articles that use non-free images, such as Cowboys-Redskins rivalry, that are also part of that discussion, however, so the larger debate goes on. But it is not about these two, free articles. --2008Olympian^chitchat 04:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please see User_talk:2008Olympian#The_Game. Hope this helps, The Helpful One 12:46, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To say "(free or non-free, whatever the case)" shows that you have zero understanding of the debate about non-free images. Whatever. No matter what is the result of any of the dispute resolution, these free images will not be addressed. If you can't understand that, you shouldn't be involved.--2008Olympian^chitchat 13:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You mean the move to [[File:]] rather than [[Image:]]? I'm afraid I don't know. January, I think. -- Sabre (talk) 12:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, that. I'm sorry, I haven't a clue when that was introduced. It just seemed appropriate for a navbox image. -- Sabre (talk) 22:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you said here that you could provide some print sources for this article. You also said to nag on you about it if you didn't get to it in a timely matter. So here I am, nagging. --The Guy _complain ^edits 03:11, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Johns Hopkins, Bologna Center

Hi Izno, I was wondering if you would agree to remove the merge suggest for the article on the Bologna Center of the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. I am a former alumus of the school and can confirm that although the MA degree program is integrated with the Washington DC campus, the Bologna Center is still definitely very much an independent institution, administered separately and with its own degree programs, both on its own with the one year bologna center diploma, and runs joint degree programs with other European Universities. The Bologna center is certainly notable and its resident and visiting professors are globally known in their fields.^[1] ^[2]. I also enclose this article from the New York Times published in 1984 that features the Bologna Center.^[3] Cesariano (talk) 14:40, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly agree that a couple of paragraphs in the merge target would strengthen it, however would the optimum solution not be to have a section in the target article that redirects to this article using the {{main}} tag. I personally do not understand why this would not have its own article as it is one of the most important educational institutions for international affairs in Europe, and as I said before a separate entity from the campus in Washington with its own permanent faculty and intellectual identity. Afterall I think one could make the comparison with colleges at Oxford or Cambridge, all of whom have their own articles and none of which award degrees independently of their respective Universities. Cesariano (talk) 17:52, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Izno, Thanks for pointing out summary style, I was unaware of that.

My point about Oxford and Cambridge colleges was that they all have separate articles, yet they are fully integrated into the University, and do not award their own degrees or run their own degree programs. The Bologna Center on the other hand does award its own degrees and run its own programs and therefore should be considered more of an independent institution than a college.

With regard to my claim that it is one of the most important institutions in its field in Europe. I make this argument based on the many high profile figures involved with the school, either to give speeches, or as professors or as trustees. The current advisory council includes as honory members, the former president of the European Commission Romano Prodi.^[4]. Speakers at the center in recent years have included the President of Italy. Alumni include a former acting director of the CIA, and the current European Commissioner for Enlargement Michael Leigh.

guideline discussion

I'm contacting a few people who took an interest in the video games WikiProject guidelines last year, to let them know of a project I'm working on. It's strictly in the interest of collecting information, but I think that information could prove useful for refining our guidelines and policies.

Please check in at this discussion, if you find a moment. Thanks in advance, Randomran (talk) 19:16, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for checking in at the discussion. How long are you gonna be busy with finals? No pressure. Randomran (talk) 23:54, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:DQ Archive

I fail to see where on that page dictates that the talk page archive belongs as a subpage of WP:VG talk. My move was to maintain consistency at Wikipedia:WikiProject Square Enix/Archive, which follows the pattern of leaving the talk archives under their original talk page names/archive locations. Please WP:AGF. Cheers, Axem Titanium (talk) 04:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit summary ("Sigh, no. The WP was deleted") seemed unnecessarily WP:BITEy and didn't really include any explanation as to why you reverted my move. Your terse messages on my talk page seemed no better. I don't see what's wrong with leaving it where it is right now, so let's not belabor the point. Cheers, Axem Titanium (talk) 20:08, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you'd like to move all 38 other archived talk pages at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Square Enix/Archive as well, be my guest. If you have issue with the way I communicate, please be out in the open about it, rather than accusing me of "talking down" to you. I apologize if you read any condescension into my words.

"Wells'" or "Wells's"?

Hello Izno. In your revision of "The War of the Worlds", as of 22.20, 15 June 2009, you reverted a number of edits by an anonymous editor, changing "Wells's" back to "Wells'" and advising: "check your grammar there, anon.." Would you please tell me what authority you would quote to support using this form of the possessive case? I consulted a number of sources for guidance and usage (all UK English), including The Oxford guide to English Usage, Eric Partridge's "Usage and Abusage", Encyclopaedia Britannica and The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. All used "Wells's", or stated that nouns ending in s have 's added for the singular possessive. Wells's own "Experiment in Autobiography" has, for instance, (Henry)"James's". Regards. Mabzilla (talk) 09:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply on my talk page. I note that you've also discussed the matter with Sparf on the "War of the Worlds" talk page and that he's made a gracious (temporary?) withdrawal. I have now made more careful study of the Wikipedia Manual of Style, and intend to add something to the "War of the Worlds" talk page.Mabzilla (talk) 10:22, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I protest on Olaf's redirection

Hello, Mr. Izno. How are you? See, I'm sorry for undoing your redirection of the Blizzard Entertainment's video game character Olaf the Stout's article on Wikipedia, but there is some reason. Please, don't redirect this article. I've done a lot of hard work on it and you see that your doubt on Olaf's notability is wrong. He is a notable character of Blizzard Entertainment, because he has made cameo appearances in the company's games, more than anyone else, so he deserves an article. He has made more cameo appearances than his fellow Vikings and the other characters of the company. He has gained popularity of his own as a solo character, especially after he appeared in Rock 'N' Roll Racing (1993). --The Gamer of Games (talk) 11:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: template:game-icons

Whoops im sorry, overlooked the usage of the template, i thought it was just a blanked page. And my bad for being lazy with the edit summary. Ive removed the template inclusions now, so is it good to go? Salavat (talk) 16:59, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeh i replaced the template with the category and then User:seresin deleted it before you replied. Salavat (talk) 09:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

US Support for Batista

You say "knock it off". I don't understand. You said the article should reflect consensus. Please see the state of the talk page Talk:Fidel_Castro#US_Support_for_Batista. My edit produces a phrase that we all agree on. Without it there is not consensus, and additionally there is a failure of User:Redthoreau to respond to the key questions I have asked. Why should the article not be changed to say something we can all agree on, especially since User:Redthoreau is still dodging the key question that bears on his preferred phrasing? Note that each time I have made this change I have done so after waiting for a response from User:Redthoreau. As long as there have been responses, I have delayed making any changes. When he fails to respond at all, I feel I have the right to make this change. Am I wrong about this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cerberus0 (talk • contribs) 12:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Izno, Sure, I don't mind giving him a week. (I don't recall running into this as a rule of thumb before...) I must say, however, that the idea that a controversial phrasing should be maintained during the discussion seems odd to me: that natural thing would be to adopt the phrasing that everyone acknowledges is both correct and informative. Cerberus (talk) 18:43, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Izno, Come on now, that is not so. What would be "incorrect" after my proposed change? And of course the sentence would still be informative. The only thing in dispute is whether it adds information or is misleading to include the phrase "US backed" in the lead as currently. User:Redthoreau argues it adds information, while I argue that it is so misleading it subtracts information. As you know, while it took a bit of pushing, User:Redthoreau conceded my core factual claims on the talk page. (I thought you had indicated earlier that you understood this state of affairs.)

"research paper" templates

We were discussing an appropriate template to mark Organic solar cells as an article that was written more like a research paper than an encyclopedia article. The ones I think would be appropriate for that article are {{technical}} and {{cleanup-jargon}} -- it's not the structure or tone of the article that bothers me so much as the incomprehensible terminology.

Just noting that I've partly reverted some edits you made today on this article, and suddenly worried by actions/edit summary might come off as hostile. So I thought I'd drop by and offer a friendly hello, and indicate my appreciation for your work in creating the article and continuing to hold it to appropriate standards in the face of (prior to the protect) a very high degree of vandalism. Feel free to let me know what I can do to further improve the article, and particularly whether my improvements to the reverted reference have helped. - DustFormsWords (talk) 07:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clumsy fingers

Thanks for undoing my accidental reversion. I have explained at Wikipedia:Non-free content review. Basically, it's very easy to press random buttons when using an iPhone. I tried to undo it myself, but by the time I'd typed an edit summary on the tiny keyboard, you'd already done it.. Since the iPhone won't let me type in a normal edit box (edit summaries only), I've had to load up my desktop to explain that I haven't suddenly become a rogue admin. The JPS^{talk to me} 23:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that I have missed some humour in your message on my talk page? On face value it comes over as aggressive, but I assume that this can't be the case. Could you explain your comment for me, please? The JPS^{talk to me} 08:59, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spelling it out to me. The frequent edits to my page like the ones following your last message have made everything sound aggressive! The JPS^{talk to me} 16:19, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Piolet

CC: Before I make changes, I thought I'd let you know, the redirect for Piolet to an "Ice Axe" has broken links all over the internet/BitTorrent/FileShairing pages of Wikipedia, and has killed external inbound links coming from off-site articles, including direct links from Google. I'll be setting this to a disambiguation page within the next 24 hours so that there's atleast a stopgap for this issue. Lostinlodos (talk) 06:27, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Warcraft 3 edit.

Since I did not want to start an edit war, I have moved this here, so as to discuss with you. If you want, you may move said article to my talk page or the talk page of the article, Warcraft 3, Reign of Chaos, so as too not show this to other people. Firstly, I respect your position as part of the Warcraft task force, of which I have no part in, but want to join and hope I will. Regarding my change of the caption of the picture from Orcish to Orc in the article listed above. You would not say Humanish, but Human, not Undeadish, but Undead. Not Night Elfish, or Elfish, but Night Elven or Elven. Sincerly, Buggie111 (talk) 18:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

nts and sortable tables with negative numbers

{{Nts}} breaks with negative numbers and it interferes with sorting in sortable tables. I have undone your recent change to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2009. For what it's worth, I didn't know nts didn't handle negative numbers either. I found this while investigating the broken sorting in the table you modified.

Question

Hello! Your comment here seems to be okay with a merge. Please note that myself and others have actively and simultaneously been working to improve both the article under discussion and the main game article. Would you by chance be so kind as to amend your stance to compromise for the sake of a merge and redirect? Some content had already been merged several months ago and one of the merged to locations actually got a DYK. Thank you for your time and consideration and I hope that you are having a Merry Christmas! P.S. I am writing here as I don't know if you have the discussion watchlisted. Please note as well that the afd started while Talk:Manon_Batiste#Merge_suggestion was still underway. Thanks again and Happy Holidays to your family! Best, --A Nobody^{My talk} 20:04, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EL and Wikia Links

The large bulk of wikia links fail WP:EL, including the Riddick one. Please stop restoring a bad link to the articles. They are already in bad enough shape without throwing shout outs to a bad fansite. Further, per guidelines, if you feel the link meets EL then you need to get consensus to get it added back, rather than just edit warring over it. The link fails all aspects of WP:EL as it is, and you need to prove it someone meets EL#12 - meaning proving it is on league with Alpha Centuari or one of the similar huge wikias. Read the actual talk page and archives of EL first though, and you will find that the removal is per consensus. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:41, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

I have added one ref to start with on the article, but am reluctant to carry on if the article is to be deleted due to other editors not being able to find anything on him

Can you advise on how to proceed to hold ?

thanks

Why is it not necessary?

Hello,

You've just edit Paulina Rubio's page and removed my introduction? Why do you think it's unnecessary to mention that she is a Grammy, Latin Grammy nominated and Billboard music awards winner? Uvero (talk) 22:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK

OK, now I see your point. Uvero (talk) 17:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion Of Gameplay of World of Warcraft

Why did you put back that hatnote. It is useless.174.3.98.236 (talk) 03:03, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So you are ok with me reverting your revert? The reason it is useless is because:

the links are already provided within the article
other articles do not have hatnotes when links to the articles are already provided within the article
the scope of the article is about the gameplay, not the series or canon174.3.98.236 (talk) 04:19, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
