First of all, Hi.

Dude, Kenshin is a Ronin. As the title says: Rouronin Kenshin, he is a lordless, landless samurai and Samurais weren`t lords over lands they were servants to the lord who in exchange for the service often give him control over some of his lands, besides, serving a lord wasn`t the primordial fact to become a samurai, following the Bushido is what makes a Samurai.

Problems with upload of Image:Crossbeast.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Crossbeast.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:11, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Re

Yes, the problem is how you formatted the references themselves. You did <ref> 1 </ref>, which is why they show up as numbers. I left the correct formatting in the talk page, use it. In case you can't find it, I've listed it below in code font:

<ref>{{citeweb|url=|title=|author=|publisher=|date=|accessdate=|language=}}</ref>

Obviously, don't use the language part if the source is in English. Also, the author must be last name, first name. However, only the URL, Title, and accessdate are required under wiki-policy, but try to fill out as much as possible. --haha169 (talk) 16:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

There, I've fixed it. Try and imitate me with all the rest. Actually, thank Artichoker for fixing all the refs for you. --haha169 (talk) 22:01, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

If you listen to Artichoker, I can guarantee B-class. GA will have to depend on whether or not you can find good sources. Development sections are usually the most difficult. The best is to find interview transcripts - and also check for E3 presentation transcripts. Those are the most important for cites in VG Development sections. --haha169 (talk) 17:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing!

Hey no problem, and if you need any more help with references, I found WP:Citing sources to be really helpful. Artichoker^[talk] 12:51, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I am glad you asked that question, as it can be easily done. You must first specify a ref name for the reference, and then you can simply write <ref name="NAME"/>.

For instance, if your original reference was <ref>blah blah blah</ref>, you should first change that to <ref name="blah">blah blah blah</ref>. Then, when you want to cite the reference, simply put <ref name="blah"/>, and it should work. Does that make sense? Cheers, Artichoker^[talk] 01:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

The ref name can be whatever you want it to be. You choose. For instance you can make it <ref name="CrossBeast Guide">Mega Man Battle Network 6 Cybeast Gregar (GBA) Cross/Beast Guide by Zidanet_129</ref> and then use it again just by writing <ref name="CrossBeast Guide"/>. The name is simply a variable which you can specify. If you still don't get it, I can do it for you if you tell me where to put it in the article. Artichoker^[talk] 14:01, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and did it, is this what you wanted? Artichoker^[talk] 14:07, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

No problem, and if you need any more help with that article (or anything for that matter.) Don't hesitate to ask. Artichoker^[talk] 23:41, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

1. I have cleaned up the lead section, and merged two of the paragraphs together. I think it looks good now.
2. The "Gameplay" section should really only have two or three sub-sections maximum. Just merge some of those smaller ones together, but make sure it continues to flow well.
3. This guide will probably help you in writing development. I copied it out of Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Newsletter/20080604

Feature

Writing about Development

Development content is very important to include in an encyclopedic video game article. It provides a history of how the game came to be and provides real world information needed for an article to claim comprehensiveness. However, writing this section can be difficult because the amount and type of information available will vary for each game. One of the best sources for such information is a developer interview. These can provide insight into the thought process of the designers and give examples of influences and obstacles encountered. Previews can also be helpful by giving a snap shot of the game before it was released and may mention development issues that were still being addressed.

When writing about development, common sense should be used to organize content to maintain a sense of flow for the reader. Most times, it is best to give the information in a somewhat chronological order—though information can also be grouped by topics like audio, promotion, graphics, etc. If one such topic gets large enough, it can be split off into its own subsection or regular section. For example, Kingdom Hearts#Audio is a separate section from the rest of the development information because it focuses on the game's musical score and voice acting. Portal (video game)#Soundtrack, however, does not have as much content and is a subsection of the main development section.

What to include about development

• Who are the developers? Which company or studio developed the game, and are there any prominent designers involved?
• When did development begin?
• When and where was the game first announced? (e.g. Tokyo Game Show, E3 Media and Business Summit, etc.)
• What influenced the game's story, characters, music, and/or gameplay ? (e.g. past games, movies, books, etc.)
• Were there any delays?
• Was anything excluded because of time or technological constraints? (e.g. extra levels, game modes, characters, story arcs, etc.)

Things to remember

• Avoid proseline. Though maintaining a sense to chronology is important, this section should not read like an ordered list of events.
• Images in this section should be relevant to the information given and should add on to it.
• Source everything to avoid information being tagged as original research.

1. For expansion of the "Critical reception" section, try adding some quotes from reviewers describing what they liked about the game, and what they didn't.
2. Also, the "Content removal" section needs sourcing.

You've been doing a good job so far; keep up the good work. Artichoker^[talk] 15:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

1. The "Gameplay" section looks a lot better now. If you can, try to merge the "Others" sub-section somewhere, if not, that's OK.
2. For the "Development" section, try to include these points:

• Who are the developers? Which company or studio developed the game, and are there any prominent designers involved?
• When did development begin?
• When and where was the game first announced? (e.g. Tokyo Game Show, E3 Media and Business Summit, etc.)
• What influenced the game's story, characters, music, and/or gameplay ? (e.g. past games, movies, books, etc.)
• Were there any delays?
• Was anything excluded because of time or technological constraints? (e.g. extra levels, game modes, characters, story arcs, etc.)

Hopefully you can find some sources for this. If I get a chance today I'll try to search for some. And, yes, you can use in-game quotes as references. Cheers, Artichoker^[talk] 16:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that instruction manual is a reliable source. Artichoker^[talk] 23:56, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry I wasn't able to respond to your question in time, but it looks like you got it up anyways. But is Image:Chiplimit.png and Image:Crossbeast1.png tagged correctly? I really think they are copyright images, and you tagged them incorrectly. Am I right? Artichoker^[talk] 14:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

The priority of the article has nothing to do with its quality or promotion. Priority simply judges how much an article is needed, so no need to worry about that. Artichoker[talk] 01:39, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

IGN

IGN is pretty reliable. Heaps of interviews and reviews. :-) Corn.u.co.pia ŢĐЌ Disc.us.sion 13:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

You can find my reply on the noticeboard. I think it's better to keep the questions and responses in one place, as it makes it less trouble for other users to participate in the discussion if they choose. 151.152.101.44 (talk) 19:36, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

re:Question!

It appears the tags for the images are correct as of current. So no problems there. Artichoker[talk] 11:45, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:Chiplimit.PNG)

You've uploaded File:Chiplimit.PNG, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:13, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

You received this message because non-free images aren't just kept around. They must be used in an article, or else they will be deleted. If you don't want the file to be deleted, add it to an article (of course its addition will need to follow WP:FUC) Artichoker^[talk] 22:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Crossbeast1.png

Thanks for uploading File:Crossbeast1.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 21:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I believe I have remedied this problem [1]. Artichoker^[talk] 22:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
