VGChartz not used on Wii...

MANY articles on Wikipedia use them as a source, so why not use them for Wii? Oh, by the way, I've been editing since 2005, but had to use a login, since Wiki has changed TONS since then. That part about ROB being a "Trojan Horse" was initially added by ME in 2005, but logins weren't needed back then because of vandalism.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pika62220 (talk • contribs) 05:01, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Thats Long

Hi, I was just wondering, if you were never here since 2005, have you created any articles back then or now. Please leave the link on my talk page. Also, I am a baseball fan so I would like more links about baseball.--RyRy5 (talk) 02:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Captions

I seem to often create name-only captions because (when adding an infobox to an article), I automatically copy-and-paste the caption that was already there on the existing (non-infobox'd) image, without necessarily paying attention to what it says. Sometimes I add something to them if I do notice they're name-only, but sometimes I don't. I don't really have a nexus of consistency on this issue. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 06:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, I make tons of varying edits to a variety of articles. Here's an example of one where I transmitted an already-existing caption to an infobox [1]. Here's one where I added a name-only caption, among doing other things.[2] When I make these edits, I don't spend much time thinking about it. But my question is, if you care enough about this to follow my edits around enough to know where I am or am not adding a name-only caption, why don't you just add the full caption? In the time you've spent typing those two latest messages on my page and reading my replies, you could've probably already done that. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 17:47, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't go out of my way to add name-only captions. If I'm making some other edits on an article, and right before pressing the "save" button I happen to see the "caption" section empty, sometimes I throw in the name there quickly, sometimes I don't. It's not any more malicious than that. Will I keep doing that? I don't know, I make a lot of edits, the large majority of which are caption adding-free. I'm probably running out of new articles (in my area of interest) to edit, anyway. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 18:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Free as a Bird

I could kiss you. Thank you so much for sorting that review stuff out. You are now on my Xmas card list.--andreasegde (talk) 17:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It passed. Thanks again. :)--andreasegde (talk) 06:19, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Wii quote

Thanks for fixing that 1up quote. In retrospect I guess it was confusing.Asher196 (talk) 03:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

improving Nintendo GameCube to Featured Article status

I am working on improving Nintendo GameCube to Featured Article status, and noticed that you made a substantial number of contributions to the article recently. If you have time, please help out by improving the article. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 16:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

album covers

The existing images qualify under fair use see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Non-free_album_cover Semitransgenic (talk) 15:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Previous comment regarding photographic derivatives was nulled by the above fair use clarification. Semitransgenic (talk) 15:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Great, thanks for helping out. Semitransgenic (talk) 15:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Where do I find the originals of the duplicates you removed? I have no idea where to look or what the file names are. cheers. Semitransgenic (talk) 16:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh right, silly me, the albums have pages, I never thought to look, but then again why else would they be already uploaded. cheersSemitransgenic (talk) 17:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Scrap that regarding the Kraftwerk cover, the existing one is better. The George Clinton cover is of inferior quality (blurry) to the one I uploaded so I choose to either replace the existing one or use the second version. Please advise. Semitransgenic (talk) 17:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

OK thanks, it's simply blurry that's all, the replacement is far from high definition, it just has more detail, so displays better.Semitransgenic (talk) 18:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Will do. Later. cheers Semitransgenic (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Your reverts are not helpful and serve only to stiffle progress. The cut off point for providing rationales for each of the uploaded images is the 9th of February. However, I have dealt with it now. Your revert has wasted me alot of time as I was in the process of editing when you did that and I now have to go back and patch the changes together again. If you are not interested in contributing anything useful or positive to the article why bother? Being a bureacratic fascist for the sake of it doesn't seem to help anybody. In future please notify an editor in adavnace of making such changes Semitransgenic (talk) 11:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Yep that's right, there is a different Kraftwerk image upload, it differs from the origanl image as one is the LP release cover the other is the US CD release cover. The Clinton picture was changed for the reason orginally stated. If you have such an issue with rationale please look after it yourself. As already stated the cut-off for inclusion of rationale is the 9th of April so please get off my back.Semitransgenic (talk) 12:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Simple error, the others will be deleted by the system in time, don't you worry your poor head about it. Semitransgenic (talk) 12:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Stopnswopsite.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Stopnswopsite.jpg. 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) 12:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Xbox 360

I see your point about the apostrophes, but WP:3RR? wasn't even close, suggesting it was seems a little uncivil. cheers. xenocidic (talk) 20:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

uh huh. Normally when I inappropriately accuse someone of breaking a WP guideline, I apologize, but I guess that's just me. xenocidic (talk) 20:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Wii Comment

After reading the archived discussions on this matter, I'll go ahead and redact any changes that reflect this, in the future you might want to add your reasoning to your change logs, that would be nice. UnlivedPhalanx (talk) 21:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help

Thanks for answering my question about Splungo!!! Anfish (talk) 20:09, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey it's me again. I understand the things you have said. I think it should just be deleted. You made a good point. We need to tell the admin that we need to delete the page. So can you send me the link because i don't know how to contact the admin about AfD. --Anfish (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I think my Stop n' Swop page was deleted. I can't get to it. no matter what I do it allways go to that section in Banjo-Kazooie (series) Anfish (talk) 00:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 04:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

The Sound

In a normal context it would seem out of place, but perhaps making play with the title of an early Detroit Techno record is too vague for most readers to pick up on, unless mention of the record is in the paragraph that follows? I'm not sure about the style policy, haven't read it, is there anything wrong with 'The Detroit sound'? 'Detroit sound' seems odd. The reason I removed 'musical influences' as a heading is becasue that's not how the section reads, it's more a discussion of stylistic considerations, plus influences are dealt with in the origins section, E.Mojo etc. Semitransgenic (talk) 18:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Detroit sound?? the use of 'The' makes it more like a title (proper noun, as intended). Detroit Sound is simply not a heading, it's meaningless. This is an article on Techno, the preceding text has established that there is a specific style of Techno from Detroit, that is 'the Detroit Sound', as opposed to 'the Chicago sound', 'the London sound, 'the Berlin sound' etc. etc. it is a proper noun: again you are being overtly pedantic and inflexible with regard to enforcing Wiki policy but you seem to make no effort in contextualizing the entry using common sense.
