User talk:David Fuchs/Archive 10
What next?With Cortana receiving almost no concerns in the VG peer review I'm comfident that the article is quite strong with the only concern that can be echoed is that the reception section is to focused on Halo 3. Now wich article should we focus in next? I was thinking that Arbiter is the one that has more potential out there, though Covenant Elite may be easier to find material to expand a "Character design" section, does The Art of Halo feature something we can use on that page? - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:10, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Ralbot 05:27, 1 November 2007 (UTC) Two thingsOne, no profanity was used. That was an adequate substitute. Two, I did not claim any 'ownership' or otherwise. The editor I refer to seems to be acting out of accordance. If you cannot see this, I will bring it to the attention of another admin who may see Icsononove's actions for what they are. So I hope you warn him to deter from personal statements and insults. Thank you. Rarelibra 19:41, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
GAN of Final FantasyWe've tried to address your concerns for the GAN of Final Fantasy. The lead has been reworded, and the fair use rationales have been updated for the images. Most are still lacking a source, but I thought that images technically only required licensing tags and fair use rationales. (Guyinblack25 talk 04:29, 2 November 2007 (UTC))
AliensThanks for working with Covenant Elite these last days, my laptop has been giving me some trouble lately and my contributions has been more limited than usual, it should be fixed by Monday and I will try to keep an eye on the Peer Review but thanks for contining the cleanup, I also moved a entire section to my sandbox for rewritting but after reviewing it I think all that section if cleaned of all the original research and fancruft its not going to be bigger than a paragraph, what do you think about it, anything particulary useful? - Caribbean~H.Q. 08:22, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Collapsible templatesIs there a way to make a template defaultly collapsed on one page, but always expanded by default? I want to make the professional competition template collapsed by default on StarCraft#External_linksStarCraft, but its probably left expanded on any other articles it may relate to. -- 19:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC) Rememberance Day
DYKHi David, I just wanted to give you a heads up that I've commented on your DYK nomination on the suggestions' page. The entry is unlikely to be used unless this concern has been addressed.--Carabinieri 12:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Infobox CVGWhat have you done to the CVG infobox! It's bathed in a disgusting puke green! Can you at least restore the definative table lines and change it to grey, because that green is revolting and makes the infobox look absolutely horrible. -- Sabre 13:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC) 3RR notice on Arbiter articleI wanted to alert you to something regarding the Arbiter (Halo) article - the anonymous editor who keeps adding back the First Strike section has violated 3RR even after I posted an alert in the edit summaries that they were about to break it. Since this is not only a 3RR violaion but also a questionable addition that has been reverted by no less than three seperate editors, I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Thanks Superbowlbound 05:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC) Sorry for interrupting here on David Fuchs' talk page... But in the above case.. You can be bold and revert it right away...Mugunth (ping me!!!, contribs) 06:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Regarding Halo: Combat EvolvedThis article is going to be featured tomorrow... But I see that in the external links section has the following links..
My question is, do we really have to link to websites that help to play the game strategically? Another issue is, is it necessary to link to websites like mobygames and gamefaqs? I think xbox and halo websites are enough in this section... What do u say? (I'm asking you as, I saw that you have edited the article considerably more times than others...) Mugunth (ping me!!!, contribs) 06:18, 14 November 2007 (UTC) I was just wondering if you knew that the article had already been through an AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Various 9/11 casualties.

It's unnecessary fair use. Alientraveller 15:27, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism noticeThere's some rather persistent vandalism going on by an anonymous IP at Arbiter (Halo). Figured I would give you some heads up. Peptuck 21:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image (Image:Halologo.png) Thanks for uploading Image:Halologo.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — TKD::Talk 22:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Call of Duty 2 and GARHey David. I've done some work on the article, expanding on reception etc., and will get on to the lead now. Are there any more specific things you want? (Good luck with ArbCom btw. - you have my support). Dihydrogen Monoxide 02:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Zork deletionIf you want to clean up more Zork material, check out Category: Zork. I found List of Things named Flathead in the Zork Game Series (now PRODded) particularly amusing. Pagrashtak 14:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
ArbCom questionsHi. I'm Ral315, editor of the Wikipedia Signpost. We're interviewing all ArbCom candidates for an article next week, and your response is requested.
Please respond on my talk page. We'll probably go to press late Monday or early Tuesday (UTC), but late responses will be added as they're submitted. Thanks, Ral315 » 04:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC) Requesting light protection of TF2I'm hoping you may be able to put another light protect on Team Fortress 2. An anomalous IP address (that keeps shifting) keeps adding OR of what he thinks a particular weapon is to the article, and despite being told otherwise by myself and other editors that his intepretation is unprovable, he persists, now attempting to reference himself to an unreliable fan site as opposed to a reliable source such as IGN (which we've already provided and backs up our case) or even one straight from the developer, at one stage even vandalising the page to try to make his point. -- Sabre (talk) 19:25, 22 November 2007 (UTC) Halo 3OK, I got one of them to look again, and he said it's much improved. He disagrees that there are nine levels, says there are 10 because he's beaten the game? He's happy with everything else, but says his friend should look. I did some WP:MOS cleanup while I was waiting. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC) Chicxulub CraterOkay; I added one, too, and changed to Support. Good work! J. Spencer (talk) 23:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC) Comment: David, I made a minor copyedit in the References section, moving one of the items into alpha order. Wishing you well with the FA quest.

Imperial triple crown jewels Your Imperial Majesty, this award grew out of two things: one was a barnstar I gave away post-arbitration to an editor who did a DYK and the other was this theory some people have about Wikipedia being like an MMORPG. Rather than scold people about that, why not create a reward system that plays upon the parallel in a positive way and results in a better encyclopedia? :) Warmly, DurovaCharge! 01:58, 28 November 2007 (UTC) ArbCom table with portfolio linksHello! As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Spiffier triple crown, new awards available Hi, I've been sprucing up the triple crown awards. Here's the new version of the imperial triple crown jewels you've already earned. Feel free to replace your old one with this if you like the new version better. I've also introduced two new triple crown awards for editors who've done a lot of triple crown work: the Napoleonic and Alexander the Great edition awards. If you're active in a WikiProject, check out the new offer for custom WikiProject triple crowns. I'll make those upon request if five or more editors qualify. See User:Durova/Triple crown winner's circle for more information. Thanks for your hard work, and cheers! DurovaCharge! 22:23, 28 November 2007 (UTC) Have a barnstar! For adding excellent references to Dilophosaurus and your continued work on Chicxulub Crater. Thanks for being such an asset to the project and to WP:DINO.

ATA PageHello; I noticed that you deleted the page for the Archery Trade Association earlier this year due to copyright violations. I have recreated the page using non-infringing information and also included a logo (ATA.png). Could you please check the resources I have used and also my rationale for the image to make sure it's okay? Thank you. ◄Zahakiel► 17:24, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
