[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Snapshot224.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Snapshot224.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Thanks for uploading Image:Exercito1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated.

[edit] Glass theme for GNOME

I was reading about GNOME and saw your screenshot using "Glass" theme. Where'd you find the theme?

-jcarkeys 03:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

This guy awnswered it ages ago: * Window Decoration: to get the glass effect you need install Beryl and get it running and after get one of these themes: Vista-Linux True Vista Experience these themes are for Beryl, you should add on Beryl control panel.

• GTK Theme: Linsta2 to get the menu color gradient you need install gtk2-engines-pixbuf (Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf)
• Icons: Aero
• Login Manager: Linux Vista GDM
• Wallpaper

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:BMkart.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BMkart.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

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 00:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indy 500 the simulation and screenshots

Thanks for adding the CVG infobox - it was well-needed.

I just wanted to advise that while images are much appreciated, sometimes people get restrictive about how many screenshots can be added to an article. The official rule seems to be 1 in-game shot. Please do not take offense if someone discusses this with you sometime in the future.

As an aside, all screenshots are usually tagged with "{{Non-free game screenshot}}", like you already did with Image:Indy500sa.png . Also, I'm not sure why you replaced the in-game racing screenshot with a new one, but I might look at/compare which one is better and consult with you which would work best for the article.

Thanks, Guroadrunner 06:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC) (Indy 500 the sim article creator and contributor)

[edit] Tux logos

Hi, I've noticed that you are the contributor of Image:Tuxblog.jpg. You have specified in the Source field that this image originally came from Wikipedia. I don't understand how this is the case, as the link is self referencing. You have also specified the license is GFDL.

Did you create this image yourself, or did you find it somewhere and upload it? If you found it somewhere, where did you find it from?

Please respond either in here on your talk page, or on my talk page. Please do respond to this, otherwise the image may have to be deleted.

[edit] Not Vandalism

Hello. While although I'm sure you had the best of intentions, and were acting entirely in good faith, the edit you reverted on the xbox 360 page was not vandalism. (It may or may not have been a good edit, mind you. But that's a separate matter)
We're having a hard time tracking down where microsoft actually said that it's within 3-5%. Heck, we're even having a hard time confirming that that (rather suspicious) number is even what they consider to be normal for the 'industry' (or what industry they were allegedly talkinga bout).
Yes, lots (and lots and lots) of people seem to quote them as having said 3-5%, but we can't seem to find any sources that actually directly quote that figure; they simply mention it in passing, as though it's something they heard that someone heard that microsoft had said.
In any event, on a couple of the 360 talk pages (ie. on that page, and on the technical problems page), we've been discussing whether or not we can even definitively state that they made the claim, and whether or not it could be treated as being a 'normal' rate, even if we could finally find the quote.
uh, anyways. long story short: not vandalism, because they've been discussing it on the talk page, and it's in good faith. Bladestorm 13:39, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

It looks like Blade beat me to this. Anyways, please stop repeatedly making these edits to the intro. That section is under heavy discussion in talk right now and a consensus is being worked on. If you wish to work on the article, please participate in the discussion instead of unilaterally editing sections that are under debate. --Oni Ookami Alfador^Talk|@ 14:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry... I didn't realize. I saw blanked content and figured... mention what you're doing in the edit summary and it won't happen again.

[edit] Please do not remove content

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from New Seven Wonders of the World. Please be more careful when editing pages and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Kralizec!

moving the paragraph about the New Seven Wonders into the lead section. There is consensus that it does not belong there. IPSOS (talk) 00:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of citation requests without providing citations is vandalism

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Christ the Redeemer (statue), was not constructive and has been reverted or removed.

[edit] Unsourced, original research material you put back in Fanboy

Hi there! Over in the Fanboy article I removed some unsourced material that constituted original research, which is generally not to be included in encyclopedia articles. You put it back without explanation. Can you please come to the talk page and give some kind of reason why it should be there? If you can't, I'm going to take it out again because original research can't be included in articles. The material you put back in might even be true (probably is), but if it stays in the article without some kind of justification or sourcing, some overzealous editor or administrator is going to come along and delete the whole article, calling it a "magnet for original research". I'm trying to save the article. Vadder 17:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PaperMario2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PaperMario2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 06:19, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Subjects of obsession" section in Fanboy

[edit] Your Recent PlayStation 2 article edit

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to PlayStation 2. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

I would also like to add that by reverting the information to that which is nearly a year old constitutes as vandalism. The Comparison of the sixth-generation era article is only needed as a summary of each console and therefore is more focused on comparison. PlayStation 2 is recognised as a world success and the current sales information is available, therefore this is absolutely important to place on the PlayStation 2 article itself, which is actually about the PlayStation 2, then the comparison article which is about four or more consoles. As you can see, reverting these edits is considered vandalism, you are taking away recent information and needed information. This information is of more importance on the PlayStation 2 article than a comparison page. Also, if you have added it to the comparison page there is no reason at all to get rid of it from the PlayStation 2 page. Please refrain from doing so in future. Thank you.

• Evidence - [1] User stated that he/she was following WP:INTRO guideline, but did not clean. Instead removed summary information and latest updated information and reverted back to information nearly 7 months old [March 2007]. Also removed important references and sources for the article.

As mentioned, please refrain from doing so in the future. JTBX 21:05, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Angie Akers

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Angie Akers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Angie Akers.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Banned360.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Banned360.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 16:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Feature The Importance of the Lead The lead is one of the most important parts of any Wikipedia article; its job to summarize the article in 2 to 3 paragraphs in order to familiarize the reader with the structure of the content that you will providing them as well as to give a quick one-minute overview of the topic. Many articles that are processed through Good Article or Featured Article assessments will be heavily scrutinized for a poor lead section. For articles dealing with video games, a common practice has developed for leads, being a 3-paragraph discussion. First paragraph The first paragraph should state the name of the game (using both bold (to identify the article's name) and italics as per the manual of style), along with any other alternate names the game may go by. The genre of the game should be clearly identified as well as the developer and the publisher. If a notable person has been cited by the game as having worked on the game's development (such as Tim Schafer or David Jaffe), this should also be noted. Release dates should be given, along with the release of any ports, remakes, or sequels. Second paragraph The second paragraph should summarize the plot briefly in one or two sentences; a high level overview is only needed to set the stage for further discussion. One or two sentences should be included to discuss the gameplay, including any notable features of the game. Third paragraph The third paragraph should cover the reception of the game, citing its general critical reaction and any significantly notable successful or failing elements in the game. If the game has won awards, this aspect can be noted, but specific mention of any award is discouraged. This approach should help you to write a good lead for nearly any game, though this may need to be altered for other games. If there's not a lot of reception information for a game, it may be worthwhile to combine the listed first and third paragraphs into one paragraph. There may be need to talk more about an aspect not normally covered in video game articles (such as with E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600)) which should be noted in the lead.

Feature Writing about Gameplay The Gameplay section is a crucial component of a good video game article. Although it may be relatively easy for an experienced gamer to write such a section, care must be taken to maintain an appropriate focus and balance. The section should be written for readers with little or no knowledge of video gaming and should not be filled with detailed information about weapons, levels, or other such topics that are only of interest to the video gamer or that might be found in a game guide. Your goal for crafting a good section is to have people who have never picked up the game understand the basic mechanics. Do note, however, that it's safe to assume the reader has at least a minor knowledge of what a video game is. This section often begins the body text after the lead, but is sometimes placed after the Plot section. Games with little or no story can cover the plot in the Gameplay section. When writing about a game, use your head and common sense about the ordering. Generally, start off with a broad stroke—is the game a RTS or an FPS, etc. Don't talk about why the gameplay is like it is; generally, that is better placed in the 'Development' section later on in the article. Images can be added to better illustrate some aspects of gameplay. Generally, a single screenshot will suffice. Because of screenshots are non-free content, usage should be minimalised. Multiple images can be used, but all images should add something to the article beyond what the prose states. All non-free images require a fair use rationale to be used on Wikipedia. Things to remember Don't add in cruft about weapons, levels, and minute details of trivia; gameplay sections should serve as a primer to the game, not an exhaustive list of every facet of the game. Don't use gaming jargon which can be confusing to readers, such as "NPC" or "MMORPG". If you use these terms, state the full name and the abbreviation the first time it appears. For example, "Halo is a first-person shooter, or FPS." Wikilink! So you don't have to describe what a god game is, link it. Talk about what makes the game different from others; if you only talk about why StarCraft is a real-time strategy game, then readers could just visit the article about the game genre and be better served.

[edit] Isabella Nardoni case AFD nomination

Hello, I just noticed you nominated the page Isabella Nardoni case (which I have created) for deletion yesterday. The result was Keep, as you can see here. Anyway, it was very impolite of you not to have notified me about your nomination on my talk page. I've been away from the computer for some days, but I found time to use it for a few minutes now. If I was to stay away for more days, and the article was to be deleted, I could have figured it out only after the deletion, which means that I wouldn't have the chance to improve it. The article is secured now, but keep that in mind for further nominations of yours. It really isn't nice to have your own work simply erased without your knowledge. Thank you, and happy editing.

Warcraft Feature Writing about Development Development content is very important to include in an encyclopedic video game article. It provides a history of how the game came to be and provides real world information needed for an article to claim comprehensiveness. However, writing this section can be difficult because the amount and type of information available will vary for each game. One of the best sources for such information is a developer interview. These can provide insight into the thought process of the designers and give examples of influences and obstacles encountered. Previews can also be helpful by giving a snap shot of the game before it was released and may mention development issues that were still being addressed. When writing about development, common sense should be used to organize content to maintain a sense of flow for the reader. Most times, it is best to give the information in a somewhat chronological order—though information can also be grouped by topics like audio, promotion, graphics, etc. If one such topic gets large enough, it can be split off into its own subsection or regular section. For example, Kingdom Hearts#Audio is a separate section from the rest of the development information because it focuses on the game's musical score and voice acting. Portal (video game)#Soundtrack, however, does not have as much content and is a subsection of the main development section. What to include about development Who are the developers? Which company or studio developed the game, and are there any prominent designers involved? When did development begin? When and where was the game first announced? (e.g. Tokyo Game Show, E3 Media and Business Summit, etc.) What influenced the game's story, characters, music, and/or gameplay ? (e.g. past games, movies, books, etc.) Were there any delays? Was anything excluded because of time or technological constraints? (e.g. extra levels, game modes, characters, story arcs, etc.) Things to remember Avoid proseline. Though maintaining a sense to chronology is important, this section should not read like an ordered list of events. Images in this section should be relevant to the information given and should add on to it. Source everything to avoid information being tagged as original research.
