[[Category:Successful requests for adminship]]
Hey, no need to be so harsh over at [[Talk:Golden Sun]]; [[WP:CIVIL|be civil]] and [[WP:BITE|don't bite the newbies]], eh? Looks like what we have here is a major case of clueless newbie syndrome on the part of a couple of anons. The article needs some work in any case, and I was trying to figure out what was going on before doing any major restructuring. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;"><font color="000000">Black</font></span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 18:53, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

: Well, 80.225.1.131 has (according to another user) vandalised the page several times by removing large sections of the article, which seems consistent with the fact that he did it again to my edit (see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Golden_Sun&diff=26875412&oldid=26794161 comparison]). Then someone filled it back in, but didn't do a very good job of it. [[User:Some guy|Some guy]] 18:56, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

::I'm not sure why you just reverted [[User:CyberSkull]]'s changes, but I've reverted back. He removed a lot of the small, overspecific headers and specific game mechanic info to put it in a Wikibook, but your revert replaced unnecessary underscores in the image links and restored a lot of...well, junk, with no explanation. Please explain why you're reverting on the talk page before doing that again. - [[User:A Man In Black|A Man In <span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold;"><font color="000000">Black</font></span>]] <small>([[User talk:A_Man_In_Black|conspire]] | [[Special:Contributions/A Man In Black|past ops]])</small> 20:57, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Nobody else complained about it at all, and I don't think the article should be devoid of any information on gameplay.

:::It took me a long time to piece together what happened, but I figured it out. After [[User: 212.205.76.134]] erased the old entry for Thumbshots when he added some information to the Democracy and Nature section, I was following his edits through his contribution list to see if he vandalised/accidentally deleted anything else from the page. It appears that when I finished checking his edits, I decided to nominate thumbshots again, but I forgot to switch from his last edit to the most recent version of the page. The version I edited can be found [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection&oldid=28589405 here]. As you probably know, making changes to an old version of a page erases all changes since then. You can see that the parts of the page that were removed or moved around during my edit are all of the parts moved or added after the version I've linked above. I'm extremely sorry about this mistake on my part - it was an accident, but it was stupid and it shouldn't have happened. My apologies. [[User:Some guy|Some guy]] 05:33, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:Agreed. But, er, I've already made something like five AfD nominations tonight, including Jim Cummin. I'll gladly argue the point and vote when it gets to it, but I don't think it would be appropriate for me to go ahead and nominate ALL of that stuff myself.

== Medal of Honor: Allied Assault Page ==
Hey, Someguy, nice page you got here. I just wanted to bring something up about the MOH:AA page. I was writing the articles on the mission overiviews. I realize that they were making the page MUCH too long, but I was going to move them to another page on my next update anyway. I know Wikipedia is free to edit by anyone, but please discuss it next time. I would have been glad to get it off of the page anyway, but I don't appreciate it when my work gets deleted like that.

No hard feelings dude, next time just notify me, okay?
:Huh. It never told me I had a new message and I just noticed. Anyway, my edit summary should have been sufficient. Sorry anyway. Please sign your comments. [[User:Some guy|Some guy]] 04:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

== copyright violations ==

Hello,

I was under the impression that public biographies were promotional material to be shared. My intention was not to violate copyright, but simply to share the information. In a few cases, I wrote the material on the source pages. I designed some of the web pages and wrote the information. I didn't think that my sharing someone's biography was an attempt to lead people to believe I myself had written it rather than them.

== Burhan Öcal ==

Hello, Some guy. I think it would be good to remove the wikify template, and other templates, from articles that are suspected copyright violations, like [[Burhan Öcal]]. That way they won't show up in [[:Category:Articles that need to be wikified]], which those who do wikification use to find articles to work on. If the article is found not to be a copyright violation, the template will be restored when the article is reverted anyway. Thanks, [[User:Kjkolb|Kjkolb]] 08:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

== speedy deletions ==

G'day there Some guy,

it's good to see that you're making the effort to keep Wikipedia clean of rubbish. That's an important goal. But please, ''please'' don't tag any more articles for speedy deletion until you have read the [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion criteria]]. Thanks, [[User:MarkGallagher|fuddlemark]] ([[User talk:MarkGallagher|fuddle me!]]) 06:38, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:MarkGallagher&diff=cur your comment]. It's not ''quite'' true that I won't speedy a band if it's "released anything", but you're not far off. It's all to do with what speedy deletion is for: band A7 exists to get rid of the obvious crap so that AfD doesn't get clogged up with garage bands and the like. Articles that don't even contain an ''assertion'' of ''some kind'' of notability should be shot on sight.

:However, the standard for an "assertion of notability" is very low. It's enough for a band to have several releases, or to have toured extensively, or to have some other claim to being more popular than your average bunch of blokes with guitars for them to avoid the chop. This doesn't mean an article can't be deleted; it just means that it shouldn't be deleted on first view by some random admin (like myself) without any research. If there's an article that you feel shouldn't be there, take it to [[WP:AfD|Articles for Deletion]] and propose it there, listing the reasons why you think the article should be deleted, any steps you've taken to verify the truth and notability of the article's subject, and so on. In theory, if an article's worth saving, someone on AfD will take the time to refute your arguments ... otherwise, it'll just sail through to be deleted a week later. The idea is to avoid accidentally deleting something valuable.

:You mentioned [[WP:MUSIC]]. That's a guideline that people can point to on AfD; if a band fails WP:MUSIC, it's a powerful (but refutable) reason for deletion right there. WP:MUSIC, however, has ''nothing'' to do with whether or not an article can be speedied &mdash; it's utterly irrelevant to that process.

== Ghosts of Libertatia ==

Hi Some guy,

I noticed your quite trigger happy with marking pages for deletion. Instead of repeatedly removing your mark for deletion on the UVA student group, I'm wondering what exactly might convince you of its legitimacy. Thanks, [[User:Smashkanthegreat|$mashkan]].

Well I'll see what I can find in terms of activities in the school paper and other schools, though most UVA secret societies are exclusively UVA and it wouldn't be very secret if major acitivities were publicized. As far as this new AfD deletion method, what's it mean? Sorry, I'm relatively new. Thanks, [[User:Smashkanthegreat|$mashkan]].

Thanks for the info. Last thing, and feel free to ignore this, but what brought you to the page? I'm kinda curious. Thanks again, [[User:Smashkanthegreat|$mashkan]].

I noticed you had published some video game related stuff and I thought maybe you had done a search for Command and Conquer's GLA. I have a copy of [[Earthsiege]], but the floppies are completely ruined. Au revior, [[User:Smashkanthegreat|$mashkan]].

== Elder Scrolls (IV) skills ==

Okay, thanks for your advice, although I can't tell whether you're tone is a little bit rude or not. I have good intentions, and am in the process of creating centralized page due to yours & the others guy’s responses. At least the pages I made will be helpful as reference materials, speeding up the creation of the main page, and when I'm done I'll figure out how to get them deleted or simply change them into redirect pages.

While the original article was deleted, the sub-articles are still floating around.

== Cowboy Bebop ==

[[Cowboy bebop]] and [[cowboy bebop]] will automatically redirect to [[Cowboy Bebop]]. A redirect page just adds unnecessary overhead and an ugly "redirect from" link. Please don't create redirect pages unless you're sure they're necessary. [[User:Elvrum|Elvrum]] 08:12, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

that an anon vandal is [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A38.117.208.24&diff=64489088&oldid=64488792 impersonating you] on talk pages. This is a blockable offense. I thought you might like to know. [[User:Kasreyn|Kasreyn]] 21:07, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
:Well, go to [[WP:ANI|Wikipedia:Administrator's Noticeboard/Incidents]], and add a new section to the bottom of the reports page. Add links to diffs from the anon's contributions, showing proof of his impersonation. (If you need help with this, just ask.) If necessary, I'll post to support you, but I doubt it'll be necessary... the page history is pretty incontrovertible. There's already enough evidence to convince any admin. He'll probably only get a short block for a first offense, though. [[User:Kasreyn|Kasreyn]] 21:39, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Some quick suggestions- remove the bulleted lists, turn them into prose, talk more about the gameplay itself, and the reception of the game, and most of all, put in citations.

==7,62mm Mauser==
...none of the other weapon caliber pages use commas. This was a really foolish page move which created many redirect problems. [[User:Some guy|Some guy]] 01:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Answer:I understand that some people can be upset by this correction. But the cartridge in question was never called 7.62 x 57 mm Mauser by anyone before. From it’s inception it was called 7,92x57 mm Mauser, and that’s how the article should be called logically. My experience, professional and otherwise, is also that most Americans are unaware or disbelieving that comma is the preferred ISO decimal separator, even if the decimal point is understandably tolerated for the time being under the weight of American and Japanese economical interest – see ISO31-0. Also, names should not be changed, and substituting points for commas is not acceptable if commas were in the designation from the beginning. As stupid as it would be to call an article about the .308 Winchester 0,308 Winchester, for example! So, somebody has to take the bull by the horns, and by doing so, someone will inevitably get upset, and it won’t necessarily make only friends!

==Categorization==
Read the [[Wikipedia:Categorization#How_to_categorize_an_article|Categorization guide]].

"In the "vertical" dimension, Wikipedia has traditionally been more frugal, placing articles only in the most specific categories they reasonably fit in. Thus, if there is a Category:American film actors, John Wayne would go there and not in Category:Film actors or Category:American actors. However, there is a school of thought that argues that, because different users may be interested in different categories, and because placing articles in multiple categories takes up minimal additional space, in some cases one should place articles in all the categories that apply."

What I did was follow the traditional guidelines. We don't usually use redundant categories because otherwise it can include everything on the upper hierarchy. [[User:Oberiko|Oberiko]] 11:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

:No I removed the redundant ones. Check [[:Category:Call of Duty series]] and you'll see that the entire series is listed as first-person shooters, hence it includes it by inheritance (vertical categorization) [[User:Oberiko|Oberiko]] 19:40, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

::True, due to [[WP:BOLD]]. I was actually making many, many changes that night to various categories in making them more vertical, especially after I saw that the FPS category was mostly useless as a navigation tool due to the massive number of articles placed directly in it. [[User:Oberiko|Oberiko]] 22:54, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Using your quote "''This is because category changes – and even more so template changes – '''can affect a large number of pages with a single edit'''. Templates, moreover, may have complex source code that can easily be broken by untested changes. '''Because of these concerns''', many heavily used templates are indefinitely protected from editing. Before editing templates or categories, consider proposing any changes on the associated talk pages and announcing the proposed change on pages of appropriate WikiProjects.''"

:::Can you point out exactly what far reaching changes or pages were affected?

:::Ultimately, it's irrelevant though. I've done categorization maintenance for a few years and, so far as I can recall, I've had very few protests; usually its just a job that gets neglected. If you're against the changes, that's fine, we can simply take it to the appropriate wikiproject for their opinion. [[User:Oberiko|Oberiko]] 23:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

::::Why draw the line at [[:Category:First-person shooters]] then? Why not include [[:Category:Shooter video games]], or [[:Category:Video games]], [[:Category:Games]]? It's also in the [[:Category:World War II video games]], why not also put it in [[:Category:World War II games]], [[:Category:Video games with historical settings]] etc. You're argument is just as applicable for doing so.

== Typo (sic) (Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist) ==

Haha, you're right, I didn't spell it right. But I intended to. Thanks for correcting it, I could only remember the first word "Foumd" for sure (I've only seen the movie twice so far) [[User:Darkage7|<span style="background:#000;color:#FFF">D<span style="color:#DDD">a<span style="color:#BBB">R<span style="color:#999">kA</span>g</span>E</span>7</span>]][[User talk:Darkage7|<sub>[Talk]</sub>]] 04:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

== Watch your mouth, dude ==

What's with the tone, Some guy? I oughta report you for [[WP:NPA|violating a standard guideline]], calling me a "pompus douchebag" and claiming that I, and I quote: "''obviously you don't know how to do a web search''". I don't know why you're getting so worked up about it, you did looked up the refs and could've just added them to the article in the first place, but you decided to put them on the talk page instead. --[[User:Soetermans|<small>'''Soetermans'''</small>]] | [[User talk:Soetermans|<small>'''is listening'''</small>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Soetermans|<small>'''what he'd do now?'''</small>]] 23:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:It was extremely easy to find valid information on Google by searching '"age of empires" ds glitch'. I don't know how you managed not to be able to find anything. I'm sure there are search terms that won't provide obvious results but it sure wasn't difficult to think of terms that did give results. Anyway, the sources I gave on the talk page were from forums and a blog and therefore not usable under the Wikipedia rules you apparently prize so highly (if I had added them, would you have deleted them and added a "citation needed" tag to the other two?). Aside from you ignoring the talk page, I was pissed that you added an "original research" tag the second time, since the information clearly had some basis and I'd already explained that the source was no longer available. It's not my goddamn fault that Majesco only acknowledged the glitch in their forums and then ''deleted their forums'' (which also are not archived on Wayback, unfortunately). You start throwing up unsourced and original research tags, people assume the information is falsified, it gets deleted, and then consumers who purchase the game lose an important source of information about a problem that can ''permanently break the game''.

::If I may butt in (which I most certainly may) I'd like to point out that, according to [[WP:OR]], "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth." It's not as important for Wikipedia to have a lot of valuable information as it is for it to have verifiable and properly sourced information. That's as far into this as I want to get.

:::Actually I [[WP:IGNORE|don't care about the rules]], its just that your ranting was completely uncalled for. As long as there is no source given, a tag should be added, its as simple as that. You seem to care about this game and its apparent malfunctions, which is great, but there is still no reason to go calling names. This is Wikipedia, not a contest. --[[User:Soetermans|<small>'''Soetermans'''</small>]] | [[User talk:Soetermans|<small>'''is listening'''</small>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Soetermans|<small>'''what he'd do now?'''</small>]] 18:59, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

:::::Actually, Some guy, I'm not "just babbling" and I won't forget it. You don't come up with any arguments for your rude words, let alone an excuse! You don't show any [[WP:CIVIL|civility]] at all and the least you've [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|could assumed]] that I was trying to improve the article. Looking at the welcome message here, you've been here for 3 years now, give or take. Still you can't take a step back and look at your ways to see you just ''might'' be wrong here? --[[User:Soetermans|<small>'''Soetermans'''</small>]] | [[User talk:Soetermans|<small>'''is listening'''</small>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Soetermans|<small>'''what he'd do now?'''</small>]] 08:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::You're still quoting the rules you don't care about. I provided argument and excuse but if you're just going to ignore all that, you're still demonstrating that you're not worth talking to. Saying "you must consider you might be wrong" is a totally pointless and invalid statement since I could repeat the same to you, and it wouldn't go anywhere. In conclusion, stop trying to perpetuate a fight so you gan go all high and mighty and tattle-tale on me.[[User:Some guy|Some guy]] ([[User talk:Some guy#top|talk]]) 11:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>sigh<nowiki>*</nowiki> It is as talking to a wall here. Still, I'm content. You are ignorant, rude and arrogant. Maybe you will listen to another when that person points out your flaws.
