Battlezone

Sure, if you consider misinformation about Battlezone "vandalism". Ed Rotberg did NOT design Red Baron. Rich Adam did. All you are doing is spreading misinformation by editing the truth. -- User:AtariKee via email

I found sources on the internet that indicate that Ed Rotberg wrote Red Baron. However it isnt too clear so the neutral view adopted by your next edit is good --2mcm 02:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"An Atari programmer named Ed Rotberg was the first to put two and two together effectively and use vector animation to create an immersive 3D video game. In fact, he created two at the same time: a tank simulator called Battlezone, and an aerial combat adventure called Red Baron."

The source you site is an article by Jeremy Parish from 1up.com, who happens to be a friend of mine :). I notified him of this error long ago and he told me that he would fix it. It appears that he never got to it. Feel free to contact him to verify this information. I also encourage you to contact Ed Rotberg directly and he will also verify this information. A Google search will turn up his contact info quite readily. I will admit, however, that I was wrong about who actually wrote Red Baron. That honor belongs to Rich Moore, not Rich Adam. Moore also wrote Lunar Lander, which was Atari's first vector graphics arcade game. And my apologies for my tone in my email. I'm a bit new to this Wiki stuff. -- User:AtariKee

Welcome to the 1337 club, and thanks for making the other two templates I was too lazy to make... Redwolf24 04:27, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

For reverting the vandalism to my user page. It's much appreciated! FCYTravis 01:48, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: n:Wikinews:Story preparation/Results of 2005 New Zealand General Election

Consider yourself pressed! That article desparately needs attention from someone able/willing to work on it. If you ask in #wikinews you can probably find volunteers to help cover the event live. - Amgine/talk

Re: Removal of an image from New Zealand general election, 2005. Thanks Matthew. I didn't realise websites were exempt from the general rule. Nurg 02:17, 17 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vim user template

Following the be bold guideline, and getting the idea from your user page, I've created an actual Vim template and corresponding Vim users category for use in my {{babel}} box without having to resort to the method you did in creating your own User/Babel page.

Happy Diwali

Just to let you know that a meetup is planned in Auckland for the 25th of June (see Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland for more details), and that you are cordially invited. GeorgeStepanek\talk 00:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey you, there is a 2nd one planned too. Check it out and come along. Mathmo Talk 10:09, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Intel C Compiler

I started Intel C Compiler, on the grounds that even a stub was better than nothing. I just noticed you had a red link to it, saying you'd like to create this article. Please feel free to dig in and improve it, and/or rewrite it completely. I don't know much about icc, it was just that the absence of any article at all on the topic has annoyed me for a while. :) --Steven Fisher 23:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Year 292,277,026,596 problem

A tag has been placed on Year 292,277,026,596 problem requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — alex.muller (talk • edits) 18:06, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:V logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:V logo.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) 04:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:V bottles.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 05:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grey Baskerville has left the building

After surviving AfDs, Doug Thorley and Magoo are still up, but both could use better sourcing. I'm wondering if you've got back issues of Hot Rod, Car Craft, National Dragster, & the like that would help. Ditto on Jake, Showboat, The Mantaray, Ed Donovan, Donovan hemi, Silhouette, and a few others I've created lately. (Have a look at my userpage under the "Open Vanity" 3&4.) Any help you can be would be very much appreciated. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 22:18, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
