[edit] Review box in Planescape: Torment

I noticed that you placed a review box in Planescape: Torment. I'm glad you did, but I was curious as to why you made it collapsed by default. I'm just used to seeing it displayed proudly. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 07:47, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Responded on my talk page. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 06:46, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Planescape: Torment GA review

Hey there! In case you haven't seen, Planescape: Torment has been nominated as a Good Article, and the review has been placed on hold; some issues need to be resolved, so have a look at the review page and discuss the issues and let's get to work! BOZ (talk) 20:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] BNU (software)

In April, 2007, you added some tags to the BNU (software) article. I've tried to work this out but would like it if you would take a look and see if it is better in the area(s) you point to. I don't have a writing background but am a long time (30+ years) coder and hardware person. I've used the software in question along with the other related software for many years and, actually, still do, today ;) Your assistance, since it was you who placed those tags, is appreciated. Discussion is welcome :)

Thanks!

[edit] Planescape: Torment magazine request

Hello,

Glad to hear that Planescape: Torment is being worked on. It's a great game that deserves a great article!

I took shots of the articles that you requested: [1] [2] --SubSeven (talk) 19:24, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Twinkle error, it would seem. It's not like they are uncommon. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 18:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, they are two separate images. Check the filenames. — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 18:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Not really, users sometimes do it to try and avoid scrutiny the second time around (not that that is necessarily what has happened this time). — neuro^{(talk)(review)} 18:52, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Flensing citation

The citation was already given at the bottom of the paragraph, so there's no need for a citation-needed template. Jonas Poole (talk) 16:17, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Precise width control for spanned cells

It looks like Recognizance took the best of both suggestions and merged them together. It's a minor issue, but I was experimenting to see if I could get the column widths more precisely specified for a more uniform appearance. My current approach is to define a zero height row with no column spans in which all column widths are defined. The widths look good, but I cannot get the row to be a true zero-height (hidden) row. Any suggestions?

Person	Singular				Plural
First person	我 wǒ 'I, me'				Exclusive		Inclusive
					我们 wǒmen 'we, us'		咱们 (zánmen) 'we, us' *
Second person	Normal		Polite		你们 (nǐmen) 'you (all)'
	你 (nǐ) 'you'		您 (nín) 'you'
Third person	Masculine	Feminine		Neuter	Masculine	Feminine		Neuter
	他 (tā) 'he, him'	她 tā 'she, her'		它 tā 'it' †	他们 (tāmen) 'they, them'	她们 tāmen 'they, them'		它们 tāmen 'they, them'

-- Tcncv (talk) 22:50, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Nice (User_talk:Tcncv#Re: Precise width control for spanned cells). That did the trick. I went ahead and merged the your changes into the article. -- Tcncv (talk) 23:50, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Stats leaders

Just wanted to say your collums etc that you are doing on that page look much better! -Djsasso (talk) 16:42, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wider input

Hi, as someone who participated in this, you may be interested in giving your opinion at this featured topic candidacy, which is currently seeking wider input before a decision can be made as to whether to promote the nomination. Thanks, rst20xx (talk) 01:18, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Dungeons & Dragons task force

Hi Twas Now! You are receiving this message because we've noticed your edits on Dungeons & Dragons video game-related articles. We could use your help at the D&D task force! Don't be shy, head over to the project page and help us enhance and increase the coverage of D&D video game articles on Wikipedia!

[edit] Re:

This...it's appreciated, but could you try to make your edit summary less point-y? I was a half second from reverting it as vandalism before I noticed it was actually a helpful edit (the summary screamed vandalism on first glance). Just an FYI. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Ache Records

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ache Records, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Tagged for months with notability concerns, still lacks reliable 3rd party references

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. RadioFan (talk) 12:10, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Planescape: Torment

Hey- I saw that you asked SubSeven for the magazine reviews and apparently got them. Now that the article is an FAC, could you either add the relevant information or forward it to me? The magazines were brought up in the review, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 13:19, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks indeed. :) I'd also like to note, if you're interested, that Neverwinter Nights 2 is up for GAN. BOZ (talk) 22:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

And I forgot, also Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir was nominated for Good Article along with the main title. BOZ (talk) 18:59, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Neverwinter Nights 2

The Good Article review for Neverwinter Nights 2 has begun! There is some work to do, but overall it looks like we're in good shape. BOZ (talk) 19:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem - we'll probably get to those sooner or later, as they all have huge potential. :) BOZ (talk) 22:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Tango: Zero Hour

I have nominated Tango: Zero Hour, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tango: Zero Hour. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message.  Chzz  ►  02:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bobby Cunningham

Good job in adding the stats for Bobby Cunningham. I had already forwarded myself to improve the article and was going to put a request for anyone to add the stats as I can't really do them but you beat me to it. Well done! Unfortunatley it resulted in an edit conflict between my biography but I always copy my edits (or rather the entire page) in case of an edit conflict, so I suffered no loss. I was allowed to paste my biography again while keeping for stats. If my edit ended up causing an edit conflict on your part I apologise for that, I guess two minds two minds thought alike on this occassion. Anyways, nice job on the stats once more, page looks a lot better now than it did around an hour ago. Raphie (talk) 04:31, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] NHL stats leaders

Hiya Twas Now, thanks for the 'diacritics removal' support. PS: I used to pipe-link them, but lost my patients 2-months ago. Now, I merely obliterate them. GoodDay (talk) 15:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

If I may quote Jack Benny? Now, cut that out. GoodDay (talk) 15:17, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quotation

I agree that the italics would be better on that quote in Planescape: Torment, but that isn't one of the things listed at WP:MOSQUOTE... I'm actually unsure as to what should be done with it. Should the original text be preserved more exactly or should it use more standard formatting? –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Relecture

Salut,
Je viens de voir ton edit sur la page de David Tal, ce qui m'a fait constater que tu contribuais sur wp:fr et que tu avais déjà participé à des traductions.
Est-ce que tu penses avoir le temps de faire une relecture de Battles of Latrun, qui est la traduction de l'AdQ fr:Bataille de Latroun (1948) ?
J'en suis le principal rédacteur dans sa version française. Il a été traduit par plusieurs personnes ici mais une relecture générale s'imposent avec sans doute des reformulations...
Merci d'avance !

[edit] Speedy deletion nomination of Enchanted Hunters

A tag has been placed on Enchanted Hunters requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

[edit] The Fly template

Your edit to the template {{The Fly}} added the Category:Fly films. First, I think this should have been done in a way which would not include the template itself in that category; maybe <includeonly> is the correct mechanism for that, but I'm no expert in template coding. Second, I'm not sure that all pages where this template appears should fall into that category, eg. The Fly (opera) or The Fly (George Langelaan); there's even a anonymous user page (User talk:81.106.67.236) which is now listed in that category. Thirdly, I don't understand the purpose of the piped category sorting term "τ"; it makes the list at Category:Fly films look odd to me. What do you think? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 02:23, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] noncommercial

whats the problem with the forsberg pics? is wikipedia considered commercial use now?? --Lvivske (talk) 02:53, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Moving template for requested moves

As the WP:RM process is being automated, it is necessary for there to be a template inline with the section. I opted to use the existing template, since it already did everything I wanted it to do (have a simple name and have the syntax that it has) — it just needed to be moved from the top of the page to the bottom. Furthermore, there are already plenty of boxes on top of talk pages, and the fact that there's a discussion going on about a page move can be reasonably inferred from the section listing. —harej 04:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The template indeed looked rather different, but David Levy objected on the grounds that it deviated from talk-page template standards. —harej 04:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

For more information, see Wikipedia talk:Requested moves#Automation of requested_moves. —harej 04:15, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Whack

For rehashing the ancient country music stereotypes that grate on me like few other things do at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music. Only uneducated [bad word]s think that country music is hillbilly music about trucks, dogs and women; do you want to come off as an uneducated [bad word]? :-P Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 00:05, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Diacritics and Hockey

See my condition, for supporting a Quebec amendment for diacritics. GoodDay (talk) 21:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

It's bad enough, that pro-dios editors hi-jacked English Wikipedia (never thought consensus). As for hockey articles, the fast majority fall under the Non-North American category. Please, let sleeping dogs lay. GoodDay (talk) 22:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

No one hi-jacked anything. You really need to get it out of your head that it was some covert mission to add them to the wiki. Diacritics are used in english, you have been pointed to articles in the past that prove this. You just for some reason have a hate-on for them to the point of being WP:POINTy about it. Personally I would recommend that you ban yourself from talking about dios as it clearly raises your blood preasure. Oh and saying people who like diacritics hijacked the wiki is also an assumption of bad faith at best and a personal attack at worst. - Djsasso (talk) 03:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

You need to get it into your head, we made an agreement concerning the North American/Non-North American based hockey articles (NA- dios no, N-NA- dios yes). There's no Quebec exception & there's no NHL player birthplace exception. Please, keep with the spirit of the compromise. GoodDay (talk) 14:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Do you even read what people say? We the hockey project do not have the authority to single handedly overrule wiki wide consensus nevermind actual english language use. -Djsasso (talk) 15:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Do as you wish. GoodDay (talk) 15:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] A new (Good)Day

In exchange for a Quebec amendment to the North American guideline, remove the diacritics entirely from the NHL Roster Templates. GoodDay (talk) 15:36, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

We'll have to converse on my talkpage. Yesterday it was suggested I was canvassing & today, I've been adviced to stay away from the WP:HOCKEY talkpage (for being repetitious). GoodDay (talk) 20:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Taskforce BioWare

I've seen you've been editing on the BioWare article, so as we have few members I was wondering if you'd like to join WP:WikiProject Video games/BioWare. You don't have to if you don't want to but if you don' I'd appreciated an answer, cheers! :) 'The Ninjalemming' 16:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph Priestley lead image

I have implemented an Infobox Scientist in the lead of the Joseph Priestley article, effectively right-aligning the much-disputed placement of the image and left my rationales on Talk:Joseph Priestley. Because I strenuously disagree with the alleged consensus about violating guidelines about image placement and consensus across a wide body of other articles, I have offered to open an RfC for more editors' involvement. Madcoverboy (talk) 21:10, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] punk section problem

I have a user removing a few bands, and neglects to use the talk page before resolving. One recent edit claims that they're not punk, though they are a debatable form of punk (pop punk). I'm going to remove All-American Rejects however, I'll leave it to you to decide the third opinion on the fate of Fall Out Boy.--F-22 Raptor ^IV 22:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
