Freeza
I did do a second revert of the mini-graphs, as I don't see how breaking a section into five parts does anything but make the page look much more awkward and difficult to read, and it's very manageable as it was. It makes the page look it bit off when done that way (to me, anyway). The info's not blocky enough to call for breaking the section into fifths.
Just wanted to discuss it here, as just ping-pong reverting isn't good for articles and to give my reasoning to you personally. Voice of Treason 22:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough, I'm not gonna keep checking up and re-editing it I just personally thought it made more sense with each transformation being described in a seperate section under a single header. Feel free to come check the Goku article and comment, I've been working hard for a few hours on cleaning it up heavily.
Darkwarriorblake 23:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's alright, if the article was huge in that area like Goku I think it'd definitely be something we'd have to do, but - Freeza's aren't that in-depth or in need of explaination as much as the Saiyans. So I understand what you were going for, but don't think it's necessary here. I'll check the Goku article out, you've spent a lot of time fixing it up. Voice of Treason 22:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at Freeza, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. The attack (or insult, if you will) can be found here. Thank you. // PoeticDecay 23:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Whether he vandalized an article or not, it's no reason to insult a user. It's against Wikipedia's policy to attack or insult a user. If this continues, as mentioned in the warning, you can and will be blocked. // PoeticDecay 00:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Son Goku
Since you did so much (and well, mostly) I did have one question, since you've done so many edits - did you add the voice actors to the small bio-box at the top of the article? Voice of Treason 22:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
The box on the top right? No, I've been basing it off the Vegeta article so I removed the voice actors from the intro because that was too long and placed them at the bottom with episode appearances. Is that what you meant?
Darkwarriorblake
- That's right. I thought you may have entered all the different voice actors in, and I wanted to warn you they wouldn't show on the article, as that category's not listed on the character template. Just wanted to save you some trouble if you were, keep up the good work. Voice of Treason 23:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Son Goku (2)
Sorry, but I don't have that information, unfortunately. I think 6'3" and 5'5" (for Goku and Vegeta respectively) are the correct heights. However, Vegeta is taller than Krillin, by a few inches, and Krillin about 5'0" or 5'2" so Vegeta and Goku may be even higher. Converting from Japanese measurements to American is difficult, because things are measured as being smaller than they actually are. Perhaps the heights given are an attempt to make up for that difference in heights, but fail to properly translate measurements?

Wiki-star
Yeah, he really got me mad awhile back, and I wound up getting banned because I was unaware of the 3 Revert Rule. I've since looked up that kind of information, and have already asked for him to be banned. Another user has also asked for him to be banned, and a third user added comments onto that block request. If you do the same, it could help out.
Go there, click the edit link, and add your comments about what Wiki-star has done. If you don't want to, that's fine. I think the evidence against him is already great enough to have him permanently banned, so it isn't required that more people comment. Thanks for your concern, and I hope this individual is dealt with soon.

Three revert warning
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.
I understand your reasoning, but you're not immune to being blocked for breaking 3RR yourself. Papacha 01:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, well you just might find... you get what you need. Papacha 05:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well isn't that always true, my good friend... You know, kinda makes you wonder if he'd really clean up his act this time around... ... ... NAH... --3bulletproof16 06:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- However... I am going to miss his dramatic way of writing... that Final Atonement speech almost (ahem... ALMOST) brought a tear to my eye. Well not really, but still pretty dramatic. --3bulletproof16 06:19, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- I question his age because no straight-thinking adult should act the way he does over an article based on a fictional character. Thanks for letting me know guys.Darkwarriorblake 11:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Uzumaki Naruto
In short, yes. Your version was very poorly sectioned, had two empty sections, and removed a good deal of the content. Furthermore, you didn't really add anything. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 15:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Then do it all at once, because just lopping off half of the article isn't the way to go about it. Also, the plot is entirely centered around Naruto, and any description of the plot will inevitably become too verbose to permit. That's why it was trimmed down to its current state, or so it would seem from the discussion. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 15:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Well for once I'm somewhat flattered that he actually addressed me this time. Though I'm not too fond of him saying that he was going to kill me, I do, however, manage to find some comedic relief in all this at the thought of him attempting to kill me. Here's my analysis: He can't write at all so my guess is another Dragon Emperor "Sockpuppet". However, the IPs responsible for the recent vandalism are AOL trolls so there is a slim possibility that Wiki-star could indeed be making himself look like an ass again... --3bulletproof16 21:44, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Symbiotes
Hi, I've noticed you working on the symbiote articles as well and you seem to know your stuff also. Do you know about this Venom combining with Thor 'What If' story that someone keeps adding to the list of Venom hosts in the Venom article? I've never heard of it and can't find any reference to it so I can't tell if its real or not.Darkwarriorblake 18:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not expert, but I do recall the issue. 1989, Second series, What if #4: What if the alien costume had possessed Spider-Man? (Based on Amazing Spider-Man v.1 #258)
- (Visited by Quasar in Quasar #30.)
- It obviously wasn't the focus of the issue, but it happened. I wouldn't necessarily say it qualifies as "notible", but if they're so set on adding it, I doubt that it'll hurt anything. Here's a source: [1] ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 19:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I reverted some (not all) of your edits on Jigsaw, specifically the bits about Amanda. There is already a section below that covers all the neccessary information her. If you'd like, you can integrate the edits concerning her inside that section.--CyberGhostface 18:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- Obviously she shouldn't have her entire history written in the section, but she is still a very important about Jigsaw's character. Maybe it can be trimmed down a little bit but she is important enough to have a minor section on Jigsaw's article.--CyberGhostface 20:19, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Dragonball Wiki
- Hi there. I noticed you're a member of Wikiproject Dragonball, and I'm trying to recruit some people from that to contribute to the Dragon Ball Wiki. It's in terrible shape right now with pretty much no consistency or policies, and only this week have I been able to get Angela and Sannse to create some Forums for us over there. I've got a proposed Manual of Style going over there and would like some people to contribute to that to set up some policies and start making the wiki bigger, better, and more intelligible/consistent. If you're interested, please hop on over or talk to me. Thanks for the time, whether you're interested or not. Wildyoda 02:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Before you revert that again, I ask that you actually make sure that the project is behind you on your views. Last time I checked, they wanted actual encyclopedic articles, though they just wanted to do it on their time. So again, I ask that you prove that we need to keep trivial lists based upon a consensus from the project rather than your own personal feelings. TTN 19:10, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Response to A Tidbit
- Sorry but the Transformations will probably be summed up into one paragraph like all the other articles. Also if you feel that Majin and Baby Vegeta deserve mention you can either, add it to the article yourself or make a see also to Baby (Dragon Ball). The thing is that most of the characters that were merged were unnotable and didn't have much besides a plot summary. DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 21:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Garlic Gun
It is Garlic Gun. Translated From its original japanese, Garikkou Hou is Garlic Gun, which is a pun on Garlic. Because of that, and the fact that we are using the original japanese, it has been put in the article as Garlic Gun. DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 22:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Maj003.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Maj003.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:20, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

- I know . I was watching the Lair article months before its release. A website called for people to vandalise the article, which they did in their bucket load. Also PC Gamer US challenged PC Gamer UK to a game of Team Fortress 2. The US edition were upset because PC Gamer UK is higher up the page than the US edition. So the "prize" was that whoever won would go top of the page. This lead to loads of yanks vandalising the page and moving PCG:US to the top, then we'd revert it (The article is ordered by edition age). At least their editor did tell them to stop doing it in the podcast. They never played the game in the end, they picked up on the points we made in the talk page that they don't own the article. And to round off, a PlayStation owner has just vandalised the Home article now :). - X201 (talk) 11:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- I assume since some consider Home a Live! killer that everyones a little interested but the article is being vandalised on both sides. I've seen it in other pages and I can't understand hte mentality that would trigger someone to randomly write "Fagzzlol!" on a page. Its not even vandalism that has meaning, its just being stupid.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 19:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I got the link working that the user added - it's just a rehashed article grouping together the MCV non-story before Christmas with a few "sources have told us" plus "retailer x has this date". Or in plain English a non-story. - X201 (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Thought it would be, I don't see it coming out on a Friday anyway. World wide releases tend to go with US dates for some reason and that tends to be a Wednesday. Hapenned that way with Halo, released Wed even in the UK which is normally a Friday release schedule. Thanks for checking that link.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 16:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

- ah, I see what you mean. Strange though, you're only 5 hours ahead. I picked up Halo 3 at 12:01 am on Sept 25 which would've been 5:01 am Sept 25 for you. but no matter. xenocidic (talk) 00:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Same subject so I'll just tag it on the bottom of here.
VG articles tend to count games and not count expansion packs. To use your "21" comment - If expansion packs were counted then next version of The Sims would be the sixteenth. For GTA: I think it's easier to acknowledge them but not count them, especially given the word of mouth distribution and relative anonymity of the London 1961 pack. - X201 (talk) 23:19, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

←Hi. :) Templates are very much not my thing, but I think your culprit is the transcluded template halfway down the page, here. A look at the coding of that template tells me it adds pages to Category:Devil May Cry.

- I suppose Jigsaw, Amanda and Hoffman should have their own seperate section..."Jigsaw and his apprentices"?
- Then, maybe one for some of the protagonists...Gordon, Adam, Jeff, etc...
- A section for the cops/detectives? Matthews, Strahm, Rigg, Kerry?
- One for the victims?
- Any other categories do you think should go?--CyberGhostface (talk) 02:42, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well, protagonist doesn't necessarily mean 'good people', just the main character of a work of fiction. I mean, Alex deLarge and Patrick Bateman are both the protagonists of their respective works of fiction, and they're far more dickish than Eric Matthews. :D --CyberGhostface (talk) 21:50, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

All these random IP addresses... ugh. Sorry. --Mike Allen talk · contribs 19:05, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- I have to say, some IPs do help revert vandalism, and add great stuff. Then there's those that keep on, and on, and on after being told to stop. When I report them, they are usually blocked for a DAY or so. Yesterday, I accidentally reported a new user (that had tons of warnings and appeared to be vandalizing, but really didn't know what he was doing) and that poor guy got blocked INDEFINITELY on the first report (although the blocked was undone). I guess they can't block IPs like that, because it could be shared.. Oh even though Saw has a lot of fans, there are people that REALLY hate everything it stands for (read some forums), so it doesn't really surprise me that it's all the time vandalized. --Mike Allen talk · contribs 19:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

- Fast forward to 21:00-23:00, that's where he talks about it. The fire alarm that was heard in Saw I, was the fire alarm set off by Mallick. The bathroom was under the Saw II house. I haven't watched the first Saw in a while, so I can't remember a fire alarm going off.. but I guess it did. Also, I thought it was you that added that they are going to answer Dr. Gordon's fate in Saw VII? Not sure if they can/are actually going to get Cary back (if they do, I'm sure it would be kept quiet). Fisk? Yeah I think it's safe to remove him, he was mostly in flashbacks right? Kind of like Nurse Elis.. I'm sure someone will try and add her soon, so watch out. lol --Mike Allen talk · contribs 23:29, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Image Resizing
When it comes to files that aren't free-use (need to have a rationale and copyright license), a good rule of thumb is to keep them to about 350px or less so that the images aren't able to be used for anything other than the informational purposes here. Since the image is tagged, we have editors who do check the resizing needed category and will resize the image for you if you like. We hope (talk) 22:02, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
- I know what you're saying as I had one in particular that really wasn't very useful information-wise as a smaller file. You had trouble reading the copy on it. But I did some research on mine and found that the original owner(s) never had any copyright notices on their material and it was published before 1978; this turned it into a free-use file and no restrictions like that. ;-) We hope (talk) 22:13, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Kennedy photo at List of Scream characters
Hey, your recent edits have been helpful. Thanks for the contribution. I think the new picture of Sidney from Scream 4 is awesome, but I have some concern about the photo of Jamie Kennedy. The problem I have is that it's a photo of Kennedy at a convention, not a photo of Kennedy playing Randy Meeks. I think it's best to remove it and, if possible, replace it with a picture of Randy Meeks. Do you have a Wiki-friendly photo of Randy--I don't quite understand the photo policy, so I'm hoping you much be able to take the lead on this. Thanks again. Lemme know. Best, Geeky Randy (talk) 02:08, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
- The top has been discussed at the 'discussion' page of Scream (film series). There is no set definition of "notable", so what appears to be agreed upon is: 1) a character that has a picture-credit at one of the films, 2) a character who's appeared in two or more films, 3) a character referenced or foreshadowed in two or more films, 4) a victim of Ghostface. Since the table is only useful for keeping track of what films a character appears in and referenced in, characters like Hallie, Mickey or Roman just have an inclusion on the List of Scream characters page. Characters that only exist in one film, and their continuity or canon isn't used in any other film in the series isn't needed on the character table. But small characters like Steve Orth, who is referenced in Scream 2, the table lends itself to be pretty useful in this regard. That my two cents, but I don't own the table or the character page; maybe you have a better way. I just don't know how you define "notable". Geeky Randy (talk) 04:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, you see this is why it gets confusing. People have their own definition and opinion of "notable" and "importance". I think that if the character has some sort of continuity from one film to another, that shows notability and importance. You obviously don't. Same goes with Nancy O'Dell's nameless character who appeared in not one, not two, but three Scream films. So, if you want to cut all the names that don't appear in the infobox from the table, but add ones who are like Scott Foley, then you'll end up with a much longer and redundant table. It's very useful to have Neil Prescott and Maureen Prescott on this table because of their continuity; but Steven Orth also has continuity, so it'd be hypocritical to have one but not the other. This notability thingy will soon become an opinion and nobody will agree on anything. Geeky Randy (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
- Duly noted. If you can find a way to apply the Scream characters with that of a FA or GA article, then you certainly have my support. When I did major reconstruction on this page, I used List of Saw characters to help guide me. Geeky Randy (talk) 17:29, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: Character pages
I think it looks nice. The lead is definitely an improvement, though maybe tad too detailed in some spots. The 'problem' I have with these Character pages (all of them just about), is that it mostly contains plot. Real world details could be added, like casting details (was another actor going to play that role, did any problems happen while the actor played the role, were they injured, did they like the role, etc). I tried doing this as much as I could with the Saw character page. The DVD commentaries are also good place to find information like that. Also about the images. I would say the promotional image at the top is fine, but in the article try and add free images of the actors who portrayed the characters. —Mike Allen 22:56, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't mind adding that kind of info about the actors but I've found it really difficult to find info on Scream for some reason. If you look at the Ghostface article I've added a huge amount there about the costume but its been extremely difficult to source, there are at least two well-traveled stories about how Craven found the mask for instance. I don't have the DVDs unfortunately, I may look into finding them. What is the policy on images? I just used the one from Campbells article but I didn't want to just add images randomly for characters, I'd like there to be some interesting piece of info to go with them like how I note Campbell won awards for her role. The biggest problem I've had there is that Randy and Stu are pretty notable characters IMO but they're AROUND Sidneys entry so if I add their pics it'll look crowded and probably misshapen as well.
