Revision as of 15:03, 9 March 2008
Hello there. If you're going to leave me a comment (or yell at me, which is seeming increasingly common lately), please start a new header at the bottom of the page (or add to an old one), and sign your comments by adding ~~~~ to the end of them.
If you're here about a specific page, be it an article, talk page, user talk page, AFD page, or whatever, PLEASE LINK THAT PAGE. Odds are I'm going to have to check back to it anyway to reply, and more than once someone has left a comment about an unspecified page and gotten no help from me because I had no idea what they were talking about.
IF YOU'RE COMING HERE TO REPLY TO A COMMENT I MADE ON ANOTHER PAGE, STOP, GO BACK TO THAT PAGE, AND REPLY THERE. For example, if I made a comment on your talk page and expect a reply, your talk page is on my watchlist. I'm not interested in starting parallel discussions on my talk page.

You did a great job checking Bulbasaur and find its problems. But I have some kinda feelings that Charizard is having similar problems, mind checking it out? TheBlazikenMaster 14:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Request for mediation
I have filed a request for mediation over the Gundam edit warring at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Gundam. Please sign your acceptance or rejection over this issue. hbdragon88 05:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
Request for mediation accepted
If you have questions about this bot, please contact the Mediation Committee directly.
Admin assistance needed
Since you're a proponent of limited fair use images, I have to ask for your help in Superman-Prime. User:CmdrClow, who uploads images without regard to actual fair use, refuses to give my argument credibility, as I am not an admin, therefore my argument is "opinion". The dispute is over this image, which is redundant with the image already used in the article.' 23:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Pesky Pokes
Thanks for your feedback on the current issues on the Bulbasaur article. Initially I threaded responses to your points on the talk page, but have now unthreaded them (diff here). I took the liberty of labelling your points with A, B, C, etc. instead of bullet points to help editors relate comments about what has (and hasn't - we seem to have got to S so far) been done about it. I hope that is acceptable. Thanks again for your feedback there.--Barnyard animals 08:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
A suggestion for something with regards to the Zeong article that I think you and I can actually agree on
Regardless of our content dispute, I would like to ask that the article be semi-protected from these IP addresses. They're all the same person and they're messing with the article because of my recent AfD nom of the White Privilege article. Jtrainor 16:47, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Can you link me to the diff of a destructive or vandalistic edit? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 15:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Well no, I guess Jtrainor couldn't, because that would be impossible from your perspective - his edits all remove content from the article, and apparently that's a good thing nowadays.
- At any rate, how is it not obvious that that user is engaging in a POINT campaign, which is against policy no matter what the criteria of the edits in question? Just look at the contributions of the four accounts he usually posts on, all of them attempted to influence the AfD referenced in the Zeong's talk page, and from there he's branched out to every Gundam article I've edited and consistently screwed with it. Nevermind using a sockpuppet to votestack, he's also been trying to evade 3RR violations with them (and somehow managed to break the rule on most of them regardless). I just did a sweeping cleanup of the Mk. II's article the other day, and within a day he's there. POINT is not even a realistically contestable accusation at this juncture; does this mean you're going to endorse his actions just because it sticks in our craws? MalikCarr 11:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
He isn't disrupting Wikipedia by editing articles for style or tagging in-universe sections as such, so WP:POINT doesn't apply. He isn't making an clearly destructive edits, so WP:VAND doesn't apply. It looks like you have a content dispute with this user, so, no, I'm not going to semi-protect articles to exclude someone from disagreeing with you.
If you could link me an example of a destructive edit, I would reconsider. The usual "deletionist" rhetoric isn't going to fly here; hbdragon and Stephen c couldn't find any destructive edits either. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Destructoid
I just want to ask why the Destructoid page was deleted again. As you probably know, the page has been deleted before and it has been improved greatly since then. What could have possibly been wrong with the newest entry that you honestly thought it needed to be deleted? There are a handful of other video game websites that have entries similar to destructoid's, some with less information on them. I just don't understand why the destructoid page is under constant scrutiny and has been deleted with every chance possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NamelessTed (talk • contribs) 18:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I am also confused as to why the Destructoid article was deleted so soon after it was put up. Wardrox and I, among others, put a lot of work into it, and I had planned to put in much more time and effort in order to make it the best article it could be. I’ve been on Wikipedia for a while (see my contributions), but at the very least, you could have notified the article’s creator (wardrox) or myself (I made significant contributions to the article), in order to follow Wikipedia’s “BITE” policy. You simply marked the article for speedy deletion, instead of listing it as an AfD, which precluded any sort of deletion review where its contributors could defend keeping the article on Wikipedia. I understand that you would like more outside sources for the Destructoid article, and that is fine. That is, of course, necessary to assert notability. In any case, I am requesting that the article be undeleted so that we can have back what was originally there before you deleted it — the article may have still been a stub, but it was getting to become a decent article, and now that state of the Destructoid article is lost to all but the admins. If you undelete the article, its contributors will be able to improve it — in content and sourcing — in order to put it on the road to becoming a valid article that can stay on Wikipedia, instead of one that has been deleted six times. I am watching this page; you can respond here. Hope you are enjoying your Wikibreak! —BrOnXbOmBr21 • talk • contribs • 23:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- I'll toss it up on a subpage for you so you can work on it without fear of deletion. I honestly don't think it's notable, but I'd always be delighted to be proven wrong by you writing a well-sourced article. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- Honestly? Just because you don't think it's notable doesn't mean it does not deserve an article. Kotaku and Joystiq have articles, and they're very similar to Destructoid. Yet, no one questions them being up, and they haven't been deleted NINE TIMES. Destructoid is, if anything, more notable especially since Microsoft released Destructoid branded downloadable content for Bomberman.Lucashoal 02:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
- No, the fact that the community as a whole doen't feel Destructoid is notable (as shown in the second AFD) is notable is why it doesn't have an article. Deserving doesn't enter into it; either there are reliable third-party sources that have seen fit to comment on the subject and we have an article, or there aren't and we don't. The article I deleted lacked that sourcing.
- Saying "Well, such-and-such blog has an article and it's very similar" doesn't really matter, because the quality that determines whether or not we have an article is the presence or absence of proper sources. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:13, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

- Thanks so much, A Man In Black! I didn’t mean to sound as indignant as Lucashoal above me, and I hope my post didn’t come off that way. I simply felt that the article should not have been listed for speedy deletion, and I think that with a consistent input of time and effort, the Destructoid article can be made into a legitimate and valid Wikipedia article. However, I have to agree with Lucashoal in one respect: it has always seemed as if Wikipedia admins were on the warpath with regards to a Destructoid article, if you catch my drift. It has been deleted over and over again, while — as far as I know — the articles for Kotaku and Joystiq, which are Destructoid’s closest analogs on the web, have not been relentlessly removed from Wikipedia. I understand that perhaps the article should not cite posts from the blog itself, in order to prevent any COI allegations, but sometimes, posts from Destructoid are the best source for information on a particular topic (for example, Destructoid’s mission statement can obviously be found only on the site itself). But certainly, in order to prove notability, the article should incorporate as many citations from outside sources as possible. I will get to work on this — you can keep tabs on it, if you’d like — and I’m going to enlist the help of some fellow Destructoid readers who happen to be well-versed in the ways of Wikipedia as well. Ideally, we’ll be able to uphold the standards of Wikipedia to everyone’s liking. I won’t attempt to actually create the article until I feel that there’s something worth putting up (though you must admit that hundreds, if not thousands, of Wikipedia articles exist with much less content, and without any hint of sourcing to boot). Once again, I’d like to thank you sincerely for your cooperation; this gesture is very much appreciated, and I will make the most of it. —BrOnXbOmBr21 • talk • contribs • 04:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello. As a member of WP:40K I ask you to share your thoughts and opinions on a matter that I feel will shape the future of the project. Thanks. --Falcorian (talk) 02:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I have re-added most of section as a comment. If suitable sources cannot be found within about a week, I will go and cut any information that is still commented out, as well as infomation that is added without being properly sourced. You have brought up many good points about these sections in the past, but I still feel that they add to an article that they appear in--assuming that they are properly sourced. Thank you for your vigilance. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 23:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

No content in Category:Second-generation Pokémon
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/62px-Information_icon.svg.png)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Second-generation Pokémon, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Second-generation Pokémon has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Second-generation Pokémon, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 19:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I recently recreated the Makoto (Street Fighter) article, and you reverted it, saying: "(No sources, no content, why was this recreated)". I didn't add any sources because I used the ones that were already listed, and I added as much content as I could think of. I listed my reasons for recreating on the talk page, but you apparently didn't read it if you asked "why was this recreated". I'll see if there's anything else I can add, though I severely doubt it, and I'll restore it again unless you can convince me that Twelve (Street Fighter) is somehow more worthy of an article than Makoto. I don't understand the thought process of seeing my edit summary of "see talk page", not going there or going there and not reading it, then reverting it to a redirect. MonopolyMan (talk) 17:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
- The Twelve article is equally awful, and probably should also be merged and redirected for the same reason. The sources in the Makoto article are primary sources, making the article largely a verbatim copy of copyrighted Capcom fan guides. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:32, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Could you undelete the revisions on 21 July 2007 from User:A Man In Black/Yeah? (specifically, about the lists of things you hate.) I'd like to use them on my userpage but I need to attribute it to you, and while I could just undelete it myself, it is your user page. hbdragon88 (talk) 07:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
That page is dev/null for old revisions of my scratch pages and user page, but here's the list.
As I am a Wikipedia administrator, I am required to inform you that I hate these things:
- Sunshine
- Kittens
- Puppies
- Lava lamps, apparently
- Happiness
- Free speech
- Lists of Jews
- Your articles
- Opposition to the Cabal
- Dissent
- Oranges
- Wikipedia

I want the people harassing me to go away. Do you particularly care if I have that little list on my user page? I assume you do since I've stated in various places that if you or AMIB complains, your names will be removed, but I feel that a straight yes/no answer will be the quickest way to get them to vanish one way or the other.

A short note
I do not understand your recent hostilities towards video games or anything concerning them. I seems like you are not working with the users, or the information in articles that you blantantly delete, but you simply ignore both and go along with your deletes, such as the one where you deleted a certain article off of a series of articles about technology present in video game Half Life 2. It completely screwed the whole series of articles and created a large hole in the information. Why you do this is beyond me. -- Black Mercy (talk) 10:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Context please? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Magnemite2.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Magnemite2.png. 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) 20:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
