Welcome!
AfDPlease don't make additional delete !votes on you AfD nominations. The nomination is interpreted as delete !vote. Armbrust Talk Contribs 13:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
Is there a reason you seem to be just randomly posting the same deletion nomination to a bunch of articles at once? Perhaps a suggestion they merge to a more general article (like Bay Boy (Gobots) the general Gobots article), or posting that it needs more references would be more appropriate first?

Improving Transformers articlesI wish to ask you a question many of the article on Transformers clearly need clean up and additional reliable sourcing. I think that many articles need better sourcing but wouldn't know where to start. I have taken my concerns to "Reliable sources for Transformers" but before I start removing them I think there needs to be debate what should be kept in regards to information for example an article like Optimus Prime. Also what needs to assessed what is fancruft. Otherwise we will have a furious edit wars. Dwanyewest (talk) 14:54, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
(like Wikipedia, TFWiki content is under CC-By-SA) I'me not quite sure how true this is, though. NotARealWord (talk) 16:18, September 2010 (UTC)
GI Joe articlesI think some articles are need of better work but most of them are better written and sourced than many Transformers articles. I could do with help with Power Rangers characters. I have added third person information regarding Green Ranger Tommy Oliver. As you can see some of the other Power Rangers characters need alot of work. Dwanyewest (talk) 18:59, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

MathewIgnash and Transformers reliable sourcesHey I've been having a heated discussion here over that source book. Sarujo (talk) 18:42, 10 September 2010 (UTC) Hello, NotARealWord. You have new messages at Sarujo's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. Kamen Rider AFDsIn the future, do not wait 3 days to tell the WikiProject responsible for the upkeep of articles that you've put bunch of their pages up for AFD. I thought I had more time to perform redirects and such, but now I have to ask Cirt to restore Kamen Rider Verde so its text can be used to create a Kamen Rider Ryuki Special: 13 Riders page.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 18:41, 13 September 2010 (UTC) Kamen Rider VerdeYou had previously edited at the AFD for Kamen Rider Verde, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kamen Rider Verde. There is now an AFD for a related page, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kamen Rider Ryuki Special: 13 Riders. Thank you for your time, -- Cirt (talk) 20:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC) AFD templatesIt seems tom me that you mention about finding AFD templates. Although, I could be wrong. Anyway, here they are. Hope this helps. Sarujo (talk) 18:59, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Toy patents as toy picsGood idea about the toy patents pics for toy pics, I was mulling over that myself. I added the one toy patent pic to the Optimus Prime page, but I'm not sure I added it correctly. Do you know anything about the proper tags and perhaps uploading them to wikimedia commons? Mathewignash (talk) 22:12, 16 September 2010 (UTC) Another idea for free pictures would be pics of the real world alternate modes that are free. For instance, since someone recently removed all the picures of the 2007 movie Starscream from Wikipedia, I added a picture of a real F-22 jet to the article to illustrate what Starscream looks like. I think this is acceptable. Mathewignash (talk) 11:14, 17 September 2010 (UTC) Samurai/ShinkengerSaying "the sky is blue" is one thing. Saying that "Power Rangers: Samurai is based off of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (in any fashion)" is another. I am not erring on the side of caution and saying that PRS is not going to be based off of SSS. I'm saying we have nothing to verify this. The only reason anyone knows that there will be a connection is because of the assinine fandom following the production of this shit way too closely.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 02:34, 30 September 2010 (UTC) In case you didn't notice because you just felt like undoing my edit rather than go through the page history to see what I've done, the article no longer consists entirely of plot summary. In fact, there is no longer any extensive plot summary. Honestly, you can't go sending any article to AFD because it has no references. Certain subjects do not receive extensive news coverage because they're not serious subjects. The Hyper Battle DVDs which get packaged with issues of Televi-Kun magazine do not receive any news coverage. They only get mentioned in previous issues of the magazine and even then, those don't really confer notability. Don't waste people's time at AFD. I'm looking to cut all of the information from this page and just put them on the TV series' articles anyway. So just stay out of my way while I improve the project in the way I know how.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:00, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
Reply: War for Cybertron vs Prime seriesI've replied to comments on Mathewignash's talk page. --Teancum (talk) 02:52, 15 November 2010 (UTC) Ironfist AfDI thought I might drop by and explain my voting at the Ironfist AfD a little better. You are absolutely correct that, in most senses, the only meaningful vote is a vote in accordance with policy. And were I a closing admin, there's no way I'd give much weight to my argument there unless a large number of other commenters backed it with considered comments. But the way Wikipedia policy evolves is through changing practice. Sometimes, after looking at a page, and after coming to a conclusion on what policy says should be done with it, I still feel inclined to vote the other way, in which case I follow my conscience and vote that way, making the best rationale I can for why that outcome would benefit the project. Occasionally deliberately straying from policy, with detailed reasons, benefits the project. And when it doesn't, the community will spot that, and rightly reject it. It's absolutely natural that you should point out that my vote does contradict policy, but there's nothing inherently offensive about the attempt. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC) Social NetworkingLooking at your list of contributions here in Wikipedia, using your vast knowledge base, what articles have you contributed to or written here in Wikipedia? Or am I mistaken again, are you a BOT? Please do justify your reasoning for chastising me on my Talk Page about "nice" or the behavior of such "nice-ness". As I pointed out before, Wikipedia is not a social network. The purpose of Wikipedia is to SHARE KNOWLEDGE; to SHARE INFORMATION about a subject or topic. Your comment on my Talk page can be construed as a public appeal or solicitation. In good faith, I will assume you were not doing that. Ronewirl (talk) 18:20, 20 December 2010 (UTC) Hey, this sock puppet looks like you!I guess we should investigate this guy: User:NotARealWorld, I'd guess it's Wiki brah immitating you. Mathewignash (talk) 20:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC) Sock Puppets and CheckuserHello there, "Not a Real Word," and Merry Christmas. Just one thought to mull over: because an editor, say Shooterwalker, was "unrelated" to Wiki brah doesn't mean he's out of the woods yet. Don't you think that each suspect editor should be screened against known exemplars of Wiki brah, Editor XXV, and Claritas (and all their socks) before declaring someone "unrelated?" Keep in mind that a wiki brah sock, Tedescoboy22, was 'cleared' once in a checkuser because he was just checked against Claritas. see here This allowed Wiki brah (Tedesco) to run wild for a few more weeks on the wikiproject. If it was me, I'd just block any new users on sight just to be safe. Well, have a nice day! Decepticon Trans Master (talk) 16:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC) SympathiesHi. Not sure if when you dropped the word "troll" you were talking about me or not. But taking a look at Wiki brah's presence in the SPI... I want to apologize if I gave you a hard time. I'm somewhat of a libertarian and can react strongly when it comes to privacy issues. It looks like this is indeed a frustrating and persistent problem. I wish I could help settle it so it doesn't continue to be an issue. But maybe the best way I can do that is to just stay out of the whole area entirely. Sincerely. Let me know what you think.

Abridged Series"This might be notable, perhaps somebody else might be able to find references. I don't know who would, but this might be possible to improve. " The problem is that it's already sat for almost 2 years in someone else's userspace and they've done nothing to it. Moving it to someone else's just creates another WP:STALEDRAFT, and we don't base userspace drafs on "might be"s.

AN/i NotificationHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--KorruskiTalk 16:15, 5 January 2011 (UTC) Another possible sock?I think this new editor Pillhead Maddox maybe another sock. With comments like this and this, my suspicions are peaked. What do you think? Sarujo (talk) 00:43, 17 January 2011 (UTC) |
