[edit] RE: Link spam
I spent the last 7 years working on my website, doing research and posting articles. I moderated three message boards and posted one article after the other and shared them with everybody when there was no Robotech.com and information was scarce. I'm not a kid you know. Now, some people claim them their own or common knowledge since the board went down and i postponed the site for personal projects. I'm not gonna accept that. I'll restore every single link I can prove that contains some of my source material, you can debate them all if you want. They've been online for 7 years and were seen by thousands of people. If they are not somewhere else besides my computer, I won't, simply as that. It's not my intention to get into an endless argument. By the way, my site has 138 pages of pure and accurate information, do you consider a link to them spam? Have you seen them all? Have you noticed I always included source references and gave proper credits? Were they useless in comparison to the other links posted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gishdukat (talk • contribs) 04:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

- Please refer to Wikipedia:Spam. Spam can be links to your own private website, which you have just acknowledged as such. Wikipedia is not a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. Wikipedia discourages bare links as opposed to contributed cited text, and discourages adding the same link to many articles. Please read Wikipedia's Welcome and policies before contributing. 1-54-24 11:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Good catch!
Good catch on the Golg Bodolza/Boddole Zer spelling changes in the The Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Boddole Zer, and Dolza articles! Not only did you quickly catch the changes (across multiple user names no less!), but you were also very polite about it. Kudos to you, sir! --Kralizec! (talk) 21:52, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Given our disagreement over the Robotech article, I would appreciate your input on a discussion of limited/wide release dates over here. Esn 09:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lagrange points
I know nothing at all about Robotech, but I just want to say that I loved your clarifying comment (assuming it's accurate) on the Lagrange points article. :)
[edit] AfD nomination of Unseen character
An editor has nominated Unseen character, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unseen character (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 13:00, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
