You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Tiptoety ^talk 16:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Guitar Hero World Tour are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Star wars battlefront conversion pack

Hi, I just want to remind you that you must find verifiable, third-party sources establishing notability of this article. Otherwise, this article may be proposed for deletion per Wikipedia guidelines. You may want to look at WP:VG/S for reliable sites that may contain stuff on the expansion pack. Thank you, MuZemike (talk) 17:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

It's actually fine if it's removed, as it does indeed present a conflict of interests. Teancum (talk) 18:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Star wars battlefront conversion pack, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. In addition, I am reporting this to the confilct of interest noticeboard, where the users and admin who run that noticeboard may take further action on the article. Thank you,

Proposed deletion of Star wars battlefront conversion pack

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Star wars battlefront conversion pack, 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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.

iron monger

why did you remove iron monger from marvel: UA2 ? it said he is a playable character on his own page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angus Nitro (talk • contribs) 03:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

There has to be a reference from a reputable site. No site has confirmed Iron Monger. So if his Wiki entry says he is playable then it is likely false, as he hasn't been confirmed. Teancum (talk) 12:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Notice

Hello, Teancum. You have new messages at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
You may remove this notice at any time by removing the {{newmessages}} template.

Warning vandals

Hey, just wanted to point out, that if you think a vandal needs a warning (but not yet a block) you can warn them yourself. You don't need to be an admin to do that. You can just add a comment on their talk page. Usually I use one of the templates in Category:Standardised user warning templates. There's no need for a report to WP:AIV until it comes down to blocking the user. So, with regard to this report you made, I put the warning Template:uw-selfrevert on User talk:65.73.223.186. That fulfilled your "recommend a warning" so after doing it I removed the report from WP:AIV. -- Why Not A Duck 22:31, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Path of the Furon images

I have 3 images from Shen Long that may be used in the plot section, courtesy of Boner's Games. I need your email so I can send them to you. You can use which ever you think would be best. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 04:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Path of the Furon Semi-prod

I believe we should apply for the semi protection of the Path of the Furon article, since an IP vandal nearly ruined it with this edit. what do you think? --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 03:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Excellent, I'll apply immediately. Maybe it'll keep the article in top shape for GA nomination. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 07:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Path of the Furon

It is known as Deatroy All Humans! 3. The developers and several gaming sites called it that. It's in the references on the article. Also, the information I added wasn't unnecessary. Many people are confused about that issue. I was clearing that up and making it more understandable. --SWJS: The All Knowing Destroy All Humans! Nerd(Cortex Scan) 02:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Your AIV report on 72.136.242.203

Thank you for your report on 72.136.242.203 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and you are encouraged to revert, warn and report inappropriate conduct. I have however declined to act on this report for the following reason:

Stale report. User has not edited in 8 hours. Don't hesitate to report if he starts again, we'll see to blocking him for a long time.

The Guide to administrator intervention against vandalism might be a helpful read if you wish to improve your future reports. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Cheers! -- lucasbfr ^talk 11:19, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Username policy

Hi there! I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the reason that it might be considered offensive. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

• If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
• If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
• You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thanks! I hope to hear from you, Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Please disregard my previous message. I will assume that your username refers to the character from the Book of Mormon rather than anything offensive. Sorry about this! Cheers! Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 14:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

What are your concerns? Teancum is a name Teancum and appears to be a popular reference in certain religions. Chrislk02 ^Chris Kreider 14:30, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Teancum, you might want to add a note on your userpage linking to the wikipedia article on Teancum to prevent confusion (just a recommendation). Otherwise, happy editing. Chrislk02 ^Chris Kreider 14:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: The rumor mill

Hi again Teancum! Just wanted to let you know that I have responded to your note at Talk:Star Wars: Battlefront III. Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 15:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Typo redirect Star wars: jedi power battles

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Star wars: jedi power battles, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Star wars: jedi power battles is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Star wars: jedi power battles, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

"Fansites" and Game Wikis

I've seen many game articles that link to the Wikis respective to that game, in the least. Eg. Runescape links to the Runescape Wiki. Even the featured article Halo has a link to its page on Halopedia. Why can't Thief DS? You don't make sense and please don't remove the link to the wiki. -- Tomjenkins52 (talk) 08:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I thank you for your cooperation in this matter as is evident from your recent edits to the Project IGI and IGI 2 articles. Good job with the cleanups. -- Tomjenkins52 (talk) 14:17, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Marvel Alliance 2

Hi. Please do not edit pages without citing a rationale for them in your Edit Summary, as you did with this edit to Marvel Alliance 2. A list of characters is properly called a "cast", and removing an unneeded space in between a passage, sentence or phrase and its cited source is a perfectly valid edit. If you disagree, at least provide a rationale for doing so, and/or discuss it with the other editor. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 17:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

That guideline does not say that cast sections are not used in video games because they denote the actors rather than the characters. It says that actors names should not be listed unless they are noteworthy, as with actors from films reprising their roles. It says nothing of whether to use the word "Cast", and indeed, very passage uses the word "Cast" repeatedly, not once indicating that its use is frowned upon:

Cast Lists: Generally speaking, a list of the actors providing voices for video game characters is not appropriate. Exceptions to the rule would be games where the voice cast is particularly notable, such as actors reprising their roles in a video game translation of a movie, as in the case of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In this case the character cast follows the general standard for listing a movie cast, with minor adaptations for the game's article. However, if characters are listed in a table, cast should not be listed separately. If actors/actresses must be added to the article, typically they should be done in the article prose, and generally in the development section. Nightscream (talk) 00:04, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Oni (video game) and fansites

Hello, I noticed today that you removed the fansite links from the article. I have to politely disagree with this, on account of the value that those links add for readers of the article. I will readily admit to being involved with the community in question, but I think I can present some unbiased facts for you to consider.

1. oni.bungie.org is technically not even *a* fan site, as it was described in the article's links section, it is *the* fan site, although we are too modest to normally say so. The developers of the game have been known to post on our forums, and the domain Bungie.org is well-known as a reliable fan site that enjoys an informal relationship with Bungie itself. Admittedly oni.bungie.org itself is currently not online (the forums being the place for news updates at this point), but there are imminent plans to revive it, so the timing of the removal of the link to it (after all this time that it was allowed to remain) seems unfortunate.
2. oni.bungie.org currently redirects to the forums, which contain news of the latest modding efforts. Literally all modding of Oni is based in this community, so I daresay that for people who look up the game on WP, providing a link to coverage of the mods that are out there would be quite helpful. As a modder yourself, I think you can relate to my feelings on this. Without mods, Oni is just a relic from 2001, not a game that is currently having new textures and models made for it, and continually being updated with patches for the latest OSes.
3. The wiki (wiki.oni2.net) in particular presents much unique information that either cannot be found elsewhere or has all been centralized there for easy reading, so it makes sense to offer it as an external link for those who want to learn more about the game.
4. Bungie's other popular games -- Halo, Myth, and Marathon -- continue to have lists of fan site links, and I know from experience with those communities that they also contain very important information for fans that the official pages do not even hint at (such as the fan-made builds of the games that are open source, and repositories of mods). Oni in particular is borderline-abandonware, and so none of the official pages I have seen contain any information that is even slightly relevant on the current state of the game.
5. I have been reading up on WP's policy on fansite links, and it seems that there is an ongoing argument over fansites that contribute unique and reliable information. Since I don't see an official resolution on the policy being arrived at any time soon, maybe you and I can come to a personal agreement on the issue in the meantime.

Sorry for the long post! --Iritscen (talk) 01:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Marathon fansites

I noticed (as above) that you removed some external links according to WP:VG/EL, which is excellent. However, you also removed from the Marathon games the links to http://trilogyrelease.bungie.org/, which, although not an official website, does qualify as appropriate under the "A download source for games that are freely downloadable (such as in freeware or shareware), if such links are completely separate from the game's home page" clause. I restored the link in Marathon (video game), but then wanted to just let you know here before I did the same to the others. ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 14:20, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
