Re: Fire Emblem series
I have been gathering sources on Fire Emblem If in a minor way, and I have given editors access to development information on the talk page of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, but none of the other Fire Emblem games are pulling on me that much. Awakening was very much something I did for a lark, plus at the moment I'm more involved with completing my work on the Persona 2 games. --ProtoDrake (talk) 08:37, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Google Photos
Hey Czar, what's with the heavy Verge bias on the Google Photos article? It's definitely a NPOV issue. I'm just surprised since you're a longtime editor and an admin. - Kollision (talk) 01:41, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Asking for your views
Dear Czar,
Apologies for the intrusion. I saw on WP:PRV that you contribute to education-related articles and that you made some very good contributions to the entries of some universities. So I thought I should ask if you would be willing to take a look at the University Canada West article. Please let me make it clear that I have a conflict of interest with the University, but I am determined to work with the community to improve the article in a way that reflects Wikipedia’s best practices. In other words, yes I am a PR guy, but I like to think I am a reasonable one. I used to be a journalist, so I understand how important it is to ensure publicly-available information is factual and unbiased.
You’ll see that the article has a few issues, including a lack of details about the university’s history, academics, courses, etc. You’ll also see that there may be some issues related to original research and undue weight in the Reception and Authorization sections. I believe most of these issues are due to the lack of reliable sources available about the university. Despite that, other editors and I are trying to reach a consensus on a draft that I had proposed, but we feel that we need further input from someone with more experience in university-related entries. Unfortunately my proposed draft has been deleted despite being under discussion (though you might be able to access it here).
I’d be grateful if you could take a look at the original article and share your views with me and the other editors in the talk page. I saw that your main interest is in education as a subject, rather than articles about institutions, so I completely understand if you’re not interested.
Many thanks, -- BrandDude (talk) 16:21, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Dev donating images
Hi Czar! I'm in talk with a dev to get some non-fair-use images from their game, and you've had some experience with the process, so what would be the best way to guide them in that process? Thanks! ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 21:14, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
