Mega Man (character)

edit

I've reverted your changes, and thought I should tell you. The information you've presented was good, but largely irrelevant - what happens in each game in the series doesn't matter in an article that's only about Rock. Also, you shouldn't sign contributions unless they're on pages with "talk" in the title - like this one. Feel free to edit the article again to add back some of your info, but remember that the article is about Rock, not about every game in the series all at once. --Boco XLVII 29 June 2005 05:00 (UTC)


Please don't blank that page on Your first edit. Thanks. Fuzheado | Talk 1 July 2005 00:58 (UTC)

Editing

edit

It may be odd seeing other peoples' text there already, but that's the whole point of a wiki, no? That you can build off the work of others. So I see you've gotten the hang of it at MegaMan. Try going to the Wikipedia:Sandbox to try out things, and don't be afraid to delete or experiment there. Cheers. Fuzheado | Talk 1 July 2005 01:38 (UTC)

YD, I agree it can be confusing at first because it is so easy. There is actually no real "New document" button in Wikipedia, or wikis in general, because they are created automagically if you link to a page of that name, and it doesn't exist. So, ironically, wikis are so easy, they confuse at first! :) So the easiest way to create a page is to link to a page of that name from an existing article, and then click on the red link to create that page. This is a good idea anyway, since you don't really want to create a page hanging in the middle of nowhere, without anyone linking to it. Also, when you leave comments, you can put four tildes in a row like this ~~~~ and it will sign your name and the date. Makes for easier identification. Welcome to Wikipedia!

YD, thanks for the message. Now it all makes sense, so don't worry, no hard feelings. Welcome to Wikipedia! The following links may be helpful:

When editing a page, generally one should use the "preview" button to see how edits will look rather than making many back-to-back edits. Also, filling in the "edit summary" box with a short list of what was added/changed/removed helps those of us who watch many pages to see if edits need to be followed up on. But please do continue to expand the information on the various Mega Man articles - your exuberance is a refreshing change from the stagnation some of the articles fall into, even if your edits sometimes need a little cleanup for consistency, linking, and accuracy. --Boco XLVII 1 July 2005 05:32 (UTC)

Mega Men II - V

edit

I see you've alredy been briefed about Wikipedia ediquite. Your changes to the articles Mega Man II, III, IV, V involved a "suggested order" of fighting the Bosses. I put this message into each talk page:

I removed the suggested order of Robot Masters. The article does not need to tell people how to beat the game (that's what GameFAQs [1] is for). Also I feel any suggested order or way is inherently POV.

You've alredy been shown the ropes by User:Fire Star (that list of links up there), but I'm going to give you a few pointers...

  • There is never an appropriate time or place whithin and aricle to write a section entirely in CAPITAL LETTERS.
  • All articles should be written in Neutral Point of View (NPOV), and should never use the word "you" or "your," or directly address the reader.
  • Place Wiki links onto some of the words (especially names, places, works of fiction, etc.) that you write using the "[[ ]]" as shown in this example.
[[article name here]]


We're not discouraging you from making future edits. You seem to be interested in Mega Man games, you might also be interested in the WikiProject Gaming Collaboration of the week. Thank you for choosing to register as a User on Wikipedia. Kjammer 1 July 2005 09:11 (UTC)

Eggerland images

edit

Hey, it's me. The guy from the Eggerland series article discussion. I saw that all the monster images and the big Lolo one are up for deletion. I don't want them to be removed, but I don't know what I should put in their respective pages that would be valid... I got a notice that they had no source info about 10 months ago and picked what I thought would work best. They are scans from the Japanese Lolo 2 manual if that helps.

By the way: Did you post this message on a Japanese forum a while back? I talk to those guys sometime. I'm working with a pal of mine to develop a new Eggerland clone. So far progress is slow, but promising. Lolo can move around a map and different tilesets work.

Anyway: See this forum post --Sivak 16:33, 24 December 2005 (UTC)Reply


Image Tagging Image:Castlevania-simonvsdeath.jpg

edit
 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Castlevania-simonvsdeath.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image tagging for Image:Drcain.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Drcain.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

Vampire Killer

edit

While I understand your reasons for wanting to use the translation "Dracula's Satanic Castle", for the sake of being consistant with the other Castlevania articles, I advise you don't. The official translation in English of the Japanese series is "Demon Castle Dracula". To use the early translation in an article for only one game in the series simply because the manual was before they conformed to using "Demon Castle Dracula" doesn't warrant its usage in the article's official translation. If you would like to make mention elsewhere that the manual translated it as such, I see no problem.Buzda 04:22, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

My latest edit on the article should make us both happy.Buzda 04:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Auction ff7demo 01.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Auction ff7demo 01.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).

Re:FFVII dev copy

edit

Hey, I saw your old message on FFVII's talk page and I got interested. I was wondering if I could follow up on that to see if it could improve the FFVII article. Thanks. Axem Titanium 20:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's really cool. It'd be a nice addition to the development section. Just give me a heads up and I'll try to help. Maybe a screenshot would be nice too? Axem Titanium 18:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I see that Kariteh removed your citations because of WP:RS. I think what you can do in this case is cite the disc itself with {{cite video game}}. I also saw the FF7 interviews (here) with Sakaguchi and etc. which mention Siggraph too. That's another thing you can cite to support your paragraph. Axem Titanium 01:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sure, I can do the citing for you. Actually, I was just wondering, can read Japanese? I ask because perhaps the dialogue present in the demo provides a little insight into why Aeris is there. If you can't read it, maybe you can take a few screenshots and I'll try to find someone to translate them. Axem Titanium 21:03, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sounds excellent. I look forward to it. Axem Titanium 19:46, 1 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:CV2Color.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CV2Color.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:EggerlandBox.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:EggerlandBox.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:06, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:FF7_Pic_3.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FF7_Pic_3.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

edit

I have tagged Image:FF7_Pic_4.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:Aliss Avatar.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
