Thanks! It's shaping up nicely, the only thing I am missing is information on the game's reception. If you know of any old magazines or whatnot that had reviews, I'd love to know about them. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 19:01, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Myst soundtrack orig.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) 11:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I have no problems with this edit. The type of information you deleted is discouraged on wikipedia and, furthermore, is somewhat irrelevant to the over all page. If you continue by deleting the rest of this section, please discuss it on the talk page first and consider incorporating the deleted information into the article. ŁittleÄlien¹8² (talk\contrib) 02:06, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Why does the article have to be deleted? There was one before. I only want people to know as much about the song as possible.
Many bands, like Nirvana and the Beatles, have B-sides with Wikipedia articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tezkag72 (talk • contribs) 20:06, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
All the articles are very poorly sourced including Fear Factory. For example FF has almost no sources until Obsolete. And the later history is very poor sourced. Every single sentence should be sourced. Have a look for example on Slayer or Red Hot Chili Peppers to have a picture about how a sourced article looks like.-- LYKANTROP 16:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about the rumor thing, I guess I put too much bias into it. -[[bitdefuser] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bitdefuser (talk • contribs) 15:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi. That quote is referring to "Date elements that do not contain both a day number and a month". See the sentence above the one you quote. Linking the full date, as I did, allows the MediaWiki software to format the item according to the date preferences of each individual user. See MOS:SYL for more information. All the best, Steve T • C 13:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to Portal (video game). However, on the Steam forums I and many other users of Steam came to a conclusion that "us" refers to GLaDOS and Chell, meanwhile "them" refers to the Combine, Resistance and possibly Gordon Freeman. You deleted it and labeled it as original research. So I have reverted it back to my version. Anyway, thank you for your contributions. If you have anything to say about this, please post on my talk page. --TONO459 (talk) 09:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
One of the devs was there at the discussion and he agreed. So I beleive it is fact. --TONO459 (talk) 14:18, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Chris Remo, the source of the story, has a reliable history; used to work for Shacknews, now does a few other things but still should be considered reliable. --MASEM 13:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I saw that you erased the link to the Wikia I placed in the article. I agree with your point, that it is still not quite as worthy to be added to the article, but my question is, when you think it will? What kind of content will it need to have in order to guarantee its inclusion in the article?
Thanks in advance,
Hello,
I noticed you have removed my link from the X-files page. This page did not have a link to a trailer so I added one. This link did not carry any advertising or any 3rd party branding. Why was it removed?
Thanks,
Chris
--User:Cperrott wiki (talk) 15:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
So, if there is no official site link, it would be ok to add an external link to a trailer? I think people who are reading the wiki page about the movie may want to see a trailer of the same movie.
I may have mistakenly added the wrong link on one of the pages but not all of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cperrott wiki (talk • contribs) 07:32, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it's no problem. I wasn't trying to be uncivil when I said it anyways, that's why I linked to it as well. It's true though, the guy was violating a lot of policies, and was obviously just doing it to provoke that kind of attention. Vixen Windstorm (talk) 01:47, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I get back from underway to discover my worlds are colliding. GNAH. Hi. -Nard 07:38, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
My edit comment was a little abbreviated. My point is more that there is a recommendation to merge in place so the notability flag is the wrong flag to use. The character is obviously notable enough for some level of inclusion in Wikipedia. Whether it merits its own article (which I believe it does) is another matter. Honestly, as an inclusionist, seeing the article is four years old, I think most of the burden of proof lies on the people who want to merge or excise the text. - BalthCat (talk) 19:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
I have no connection with Pendulum. Would like to though... free festival tickets! But anyway I digress how on Earth can you claim my edits were a conflict of interest? People edit articles they read, why are they reading it? Because they have an interest in the subject. That goes against the idea of a wiki in general! It's like editing Lostpedia regrading Lost and saying that possibly you like Lost so don't edit. -- Dee4leeds talk contribs all 15:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey mate; it seems that Twinkle cut off the link in my edit summary, so it makes no sense -- it was supposed to say "please see this ≈ The Haunted Angel 20:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Aw you shoulda kept that link -- it was there as a statement about Metallica and their opposition to filesharing. They deserve it anyways...what can't they buy because of people downloading their new songs, a new personal jumbo jet?...all well I guess I'm surprised it lasted an hour hah :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.18.3.14 (talk) 15:35, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
Are you sure its really necessary? Other than the fact it says "Myst series" as the article title, and its made clear that it is the franchise in the first couple of words in the intro, it just looks wrong to have the same word repeated twice. The bulk of users will be reading it on a computer where they can see the images, there's no way we can possibly cater to all possible ways of looking at an article (for instance, the amount of articles on Wikipedia that aren't optimised for proper presentation on high resolution widescreen is rather high). The way I see it is an application of common sense (not to imply your reasons don't use common sense either), use of the title field when the logo doesn't use the title, or when there isn't a logo definitely makes sense and is required (see Mortal Kombat and Terminator (franchise). Same is true when the logo consists of more than just the title (see Star Trek), it looks presentable. However, it just doesn't seem presentable in my eyes to repeat the same word when the logo is only the title. -- Sabre (talk) 00:08, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Just to clarify, I'm well aware that this blog entry does not make for a reliable source on its own. Still, the radio source did pick up on the story, the person being interviewed also happening to be the blogger and since the earlier citation of the radio did not provide a recording of the show in question, I decided to keep the blog entry, in order to provide additional context for our readers. Of course, with the new citation, that's no longer necessary. I listened to the radio feature again and rephrased the section's first sentence according to what was said, distortion and clipping being mentioned explicitly and dynamic range compression being comprehensively described in laymen's terms. The would-be quote is gone and I hope that's a revision we can work with. – Cyrus XIII (talk) 10:00, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I realized you were right. My apologizes. --HELLØ ŦHERE 21:46, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Unlike some anonymous editors, I'm glad you're following protocol for contesting content. If you'd like to start a section of the article's talk page, I'd be glad to see what we can do to consolidate that information.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 03:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

ok this is the third time I've tried to post a reaction to your editing. why are you changing facts? Is it ecause they dont' fit your world view? i can backup anything I have put on the sight by the comments the fans leave. no one has checked just deleted the posts then send threatening messages to me. what the heck? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.112.172.176 (talk) 15:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your efforts in keeping the Memory of Light article clean. They are appreciated. Caidh (talk) 18:09, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I've been informed that you are one of the keepers of Coheed and Cambria's wiki page. I just wanted to let you know that Deckiller, an admin here, has decided to start trouble again by insiting on editing the "emo" tag into the bands infobox. I know this issue had been resolved sometime last year where the "emo" tag was removed from the box and left for discussion in the "genre" area of the band's page. It was suggested to me that I let you know about this issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.219.34 (talk) 01:40, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
The Heron Marked Barnstar
I hereby award this Barnstar to Rehevkor for his conspicuous effort editing and improving articles related to The Wheel of Time, specifically A Memory of Light, and protecting them from unsourced and badly sourced craziness. Your dedication and attentiveness is deeply appreciated. Tai'shar Wikipedia! Nutiketaiel (talk) 17:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC) |
Per his blog (reference 13 I believe) Brian Sanderson confirms that they wanted to do a trilogy with a subtitle of A memory of Light" The bookstores wouldn't allow as they thought it would be too confusing. They are no longer using A Memory of light in any of the books. Sorry it's just wrong. BTW I have no problems with you changing the grammer or wording but think that all of the story should be told. —Preceding unsigned comment added by HellinaBucket (talk • contribs) 18:22, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
As I said you did cover that in the bookstore part. however in sandersons blog it does say the memory of light was dropped due to bookstore insistence —Preceding unsigned comment added by HellinaBucket (talk • contribs) 18:35, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Then perhaps there needs to be a mention to the fact that the Trilogy will not be subtitles A Memory of Light. The cut and paste quote is what I am referring to.HellinaBucket (talk) 21:29, 11 April 2009 (UTC)HellinaBucketHellinaBucket (talk) 21:29, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm not communicating my meaning well i guess. I mean that the whole article for a memory of light should be only a subtitile under the gathering storm and the other three books. Its been changed so I thin kthat it should still be mentioned as the original plans but only a subheading —Preceding unsigned comment added by HellinaBucket (talk • contribs) 21:49, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
About this, I'd say give it a while yet. All the news is still basically just his blog, and all the previous news in all the other sources was A Memory of Light. Plus, I recall him saying (I forget if on the blog or a message board) that the naming of the final trilogy may be something like "A Memory of Light: The Gathering Storm", with probably a lot of the WoT logo and "ROBERT JORDAN" splashed all over. I'd bet that in 3-4 months we'll be swimming in Gathering Storm news. rootology (C)(T) 04:04, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I'm trying to drum up support to create a Wheel of Time Task Force under Wikiproject Novels. Given the high level of interest that currently exists in the Wheel of Time pages, I think now is a good time to create such a project to help focus all this energy and keep the participation level high. Would you be interested in joining such a project? Nutiketaiel (talk) 11:45, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I moved your posts together because I have seen cases where someone deliberately inserted a post to change the context of someone else's, and thought that if you were doing that too, it would be best to just move it to a neutral place and let you move it where it should go, if you cared to. But no, I don't think you did that on purpose. I see all posts are now in their right places, and the indenting was never a problem. I'm willing to have both our posts about positioning removed from the talk page. You can do it if you like (or I can do it if you prefer); mention in the edit summary we agreed to this on your talk page, and it should be okay. Peace! --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 20:51, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello Rehevkor, Thank you for your vote on POTY 2008 here. Because you did not log in to Commons before you voted your signature is shown as IP address, and your vote might get removed. According to this you do have account on Commons. May I please ask you to log in to your Commons account and vote one more time? Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 15:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
It's kind of a moot point now that the article has been redirected, but you said that there was nothing to support a release for Xbox and PS3 for Episode Three. I would have thought that the fact that the previous games were released would be support enough. Valve isn't exactly stupid enough to cut out a lot of sales like that. They may be released later, but I'd bet Wikipedia that they will be released. Edit: Moron is I who forgot to log in. --Thejadefalcon (talk) 10:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I have to admit you have done a decent job on revising The article on Memory Of Light. I did have a question for you sicne you seem to know the wikipedia process well. I am attempting to help edit an article on the TV show Operation Repo. I'm not having an editing war buit the article doesn't meet the quality standards for citiations. how do you do the coding that sends the messages you were sending to me? The quality of standrds one.

I guess I should specify better, I mean like when you sent me the section that blogs aren't reliable sources. like i said i'm not actually having an isuue with a person just want to send in correct format why i removed what i did.

I guess I'm not totally done. Can you look at the Operation Repo page and tell me if I'm out of line. It's a very small page but teh things they are saying in there are completely without sources.

Don't know if you counted my number of edits here and in Wikimedia (which honestly means squat, but someone ran that by me once ;)) -although I've been editing continuously for the past 3 years. Coheed and Cambria. What was the sorry mistake I made?? I apologize if I offended someone's sensibilities by making a well-intentioned error. Lately I've gotten fed up with the lack of photos on pages, and have been working with images and sound on the pages. Sometimes I see omissions or such glaring need, as with copyediting, that I allow myself to be sidetracked... something I had hoped to put behind me a looong time ago. I'm sorry if the tone of this is (heck, I don't know) snotty? But so few people drop thanks on talk pages, compared with those with complaints. Currently I'm adding photos to Frank Zappa to ensure it's FA status, Cat Stevens who is stalled at GA in part because of his return to music, and other places. I know little of Coheed and Cambria, perhaps I should've skated past? Tell me here, please.--leahtwosaints (talk) 23:21, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

hello;
i note your sudden interest in this article. you do not seem to have edited it previously in the entire time since the page was created, so i'm assuming that you are a friend on EEMIV, & he's "called you in"
parroty entertainment is defunct, the title is no longer published & has not been for years.
the fact that the title is unavailable as a new game is most certainly relevant to the article.
since you don't like the references i used, or the wording, please feel free to suggest alternative ways of phrasing & sourcing the information :)
please link me to the the WP that regards IMDD as "not a reliable source"?
