Blake Salveson

A tag has been placed on Blake Salveson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 19:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Pokemon Crystal Box Art.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Pokemon Crystal Box Art.jpg. 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. Skier Dude (talk) 04:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Im not really "new here" but I'm not exactly a veteran either. I know how to do alot of Wiki stuff, but other things are complete mysteries to me. xD --'''Blake''' (talk) 02:18, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

And what might those be? I would be glad to help you so you know everything , my weakpoint is I forget policies XD.-Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ ^Life_Death 13:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Eh, I dont know. Wikipedia is a learn as you go sort of place. You do stuff, and if someone yells at you, you learn the right way to do it. --'''Blake''' (talk) 13:06, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Haha , I love the way you put that, considering thats how I learned almost everything.-Þέŗṃέłḥìμŝ ^Life_Death 13:52, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:Jigglypuff

Hey Blake. I really do appreciate your dedication to improving the Jigglypuff and Mewtwo articles, however we have a manual of style that we must abide by. It's nothing personal against you, I'm just trying to improve articles. And I'll get around to the Jigglytwo articles shortly. Cheers. -sesuPRIME ^{talk • contribs} 02:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree Jigglypuff's and Mewtwo's articles should have more than just one sentence about their Smash Bros. appearances, and the official website and the games themselves are excellent references. However, we shouldn't merely copy and paste from those sources, we should paraphrase and only use what's appropriate for Wikipedia according to WP:MOS and WP:MOSFICT. I started on the Jigglypuff article and I realized it needs serious work. I'll work more on it and probably get to some of the other Pokémon's articles in the coming days. Cheers. -sesuPRIME ^{talk • contribs} 22:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Does your WikiProject care about talk pages of redirects?

Dear Blake,

Thank you for your comments here. Could I get you to include them in User:Mikaey/Request for Input/ListasBot 3? Thanks, Matt (talk) 03:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Warning tags -- a vandal fighter's best friend

Hey again Blake. This is a friendly reminder to use the warning tags on vandals' talk pages. This lets them know their nonconstructive edits are being monitored and reverted, and alerts other editors to the vandal's disruptive history, which ultimately leads to persistent vandals being blocked sooner. Thanks and cheers. -sesuPRIME ^{talk • contribs} 01:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Half the vandals today seemed to revert their vandalism back. lol. Sorry for not warning them, I was in a hurry. --Blake (talk) 01:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem, and I too have noticed the odd phenomenon of vandals reverting their own edits immediately after making them. I give them a warning anyway, usually in the form of {{subst:uw-test1}}. -sesuPRIME ^{talk • contribs} 02:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
