Hi. Great picture of your intermittent divergent squint! Can I use in a lecture at Royal Society of Medicine? 185.58.166.44 (talk) 13:35, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
Feel free to like... post stuff here.
Post new stuff at the top, please. I know most people like it on the bottom, but I like it on the top.
Post it on the top I'm going to warn you that I'll delete it if its at the bottom, but I never really have the heart to.
Hello. As a member of WP:40K I ask you to share your thoughts and opinions on a matter that I feel will shape the future of the project. Thanks. --Falcorian (talk) 02:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
This and this are not appropriate. Please do not warn off every user I come in contact with, especially when you aren't involved in any way. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 05:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I know, I've dealt with him before. What makes me mad personally is how he makes such changes to pages he has no knowledge of. What's more, with the Zeratul page, days ago I made a large overhaul to increase the quality of page, including making it in-universe, adding sources, etc.
But yeah, he rarely, if ever, listens to arguments against his edits, so I'm not worried. I'll rv him in a couple days and be done with it. There's no pleasing some people. The Clawed One 02:03, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cybran.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

For your efforts with Tiberium and User:A Man In Black. GeeCee 19:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm thinking of starting RfC on User:A Man In Black, and currently gathering evidence of his bad behavior. Can you help me with links, diffs and so on. The page is here: User:Grue/workshop. Grue 21:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm a relatively new AMA member considering taking your case. It sounds like your difficulties involve a number of other articles besides the Tiberium one. Could you identify a few other articles where you've experienced difficulties? Please reply on the case page and/or feel free to drop a note on my talk page. Best, --Shirahadasha 02:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Those idiots are reverting your edits which are significant even though you correctly sourced them too. So I am moving one of the version of your edits on the tiberium page to The Encyclopedia Gamia. When I checked in The C&C games I owned the information was CORRECT! So feel free to make an account and sign up. --Cs california 07:30, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Here is a hypothetical situation for you. A movie about world without children closes with the first baby born in 20 years in a rowboat, waiting for rescue. The sounds of children's laughter and playing are heard in the background, and continue through the credits and soundtrack (but are not a part of the latter). Should it be included in the synopsis, as it is an observable part of the "movieworld," or should it be left out, as most reviewers consider it a part of the movie. Another question for you: why does the plot of a film not require citation? I know why, but cannot find a reference within WP to clarify it for me.Arcayne 03:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
You have been blocked for edit warring. User:Scumbag/Scumpolicies is just mindboggling. Editors here follow Wikipedia's policies, not their own made up ones. You are more than welcome to go elsewhere if you don't like the policies here. – Steel 20:51, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
After looking at the issues with Tiberium and the magic card pages, I've decided that I need to step in and comment. Please view the policy of attribution, which states that content should be attributable to a reliable source. Although what is reliable is constantly under debate, it usually not good to simply cite the game as a source throughout an entire article; the game should only be cited itself in plot summary cases, and articles cannot be entirely plot summary unless they are a general subarticle (which Tiberium is not). Also, the "notable cards" section is POV; instead, it's best to cite cards as examples of card mechanisms; for example, explaining the storm ability would cite the card brainfreeze, and suspend can be cited with lotus bloom. If our policies are not followed by the bulk of a section of content, then editors may remove or consolidate that section unless it can be neutralized and attributed to a reliable source while avoid what Wikipedia is not. — Deckiller 20:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately WP:V needs the claims such as "notable" as it would be used in a card list to be cited. What you suggest boils down to Wiki acting as the arbiter of which cards are notable with the Project engaging in WP:OR. That's counter to Wiki's policies and guidelines, it's supposed to present the information, not create it. — J Greb 19:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I am willing to give you the opportunity to prove your point about editing an article to make it better, in spite of Wikipedia's policies. The Children of Men (film) article has been essentially dominated by one editor (driving off two others). As you may recall, the end of the movie has the sound of children laughing and playing, and there are the words "shantih shantih shantih" (a Hindi prayer) at the very end, after the credits. Except for a short sentence about the shantih thing, these elements appear nowhere else in the article. Show me how you would include them via edits.Arcayne 07:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Have you considered Everything2? What you're describing is a more personal, more establish-your-credibility-based-on-the-quality-of-your-writing style, and that's E2's thing far more than it is WP's. E2 doesn't have NPOV, doesn't require references, and doesn't mandate writing style (other than "interesting").
Coming to Wikipedia, flouting its basic principles, and having your work replaced with work that meets Wikipedia's goals isn't going to be very rewarding. E2, on the other hand, is exactly what you're describing there, and, while it's never quite as informative, it's a damn sight more entertaining - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I jumped to your user page from some edits you made on some Warhammer articles, and I must say, I quite like your My beliefs about Wikipedia and editing section. Nicely said.
See you around! --Falcorian (talk) 22:14, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Excuse me? That was not vandalism. I reverted your edits because the cross-links are not needed. The titles have little in common other than the episode distictions. The only case where you would use cross-links is, for example, when have articles for the film called Serenity and an episode called Serenity. See what I mean? The actual titles aren't similar at all in your case. The Wookieepedian 21:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I happened across your name in a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Citing sources. My first take is that your choice of username is inappropriate, and I think it would be best for you to change it voluntarily. You say on your user page that it is your nickname outside Wikipedia, but I think it nonetheless gives the wrong impression. Specifically, in scanning through the thread, I did a double take in thinking someone was writing an insult rather than simply mentioning your username. LotLE×talk 19:58, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to point out that regardless of our difference of opinion on certain points, the first peer review that this article gets will most likely see all those so-called "facts" removed simply because thay are not properly sourced. The goal of sourcing things in articles is to provide a reader who may be completely unfamiliar with the subject with some reference points and knowledge that the article wasn't just made up. Unless sources are found for those "facts" eventualy they will have to get removed. Look at any featured videogame article and the number of sources in it and things being sourced. Most of the time even things definitevly encountered in the game need to be sourced, let alone simple speculation such as tha name being based on certain something. I assure you, I am not trying to undermine your contributions, but this article has a lot of cruft which doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Tani unit 12:51, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
edit: In case you haven't done so yet, please take a look at featured articles, such as Shadow of the Colossus or Half-Life 2. Look at how many things are being sourced and what kinds of things are being sourced. I suppose you do know that Featured Article status implies that the article was heavily reviewed and selected as such by experienced editors? In an encyclopedia you don't take facts for granted, you source them. Tani unit 03:51, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
As for your examples - don't use articles you've worked on (which I will dismiss) or articles that haven't actually gotten manhandled by ignorant editors. Do you actually think everything on those HL2 articles is cited? Obviously, since you're trying to argue that the article is well-cited, you obviously don't. Of course, I'm not going to add the citing requests in the relevent sections, because the concept of using an un-cited article as if it's cited properly is just too damnably funny. Scumbag 04:23, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I added the starship link to the already existing disambig page, which listed the crater as well, so there goes your argument. As far as featured articles - let me get this straight. You're saying that featured articles are written and rewied by ignorant editors, and sourcing/citing things is completely unnecessasry because they seem obvious to you? Who exaclty made you the authority on the matter? Tani unit 14:44, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
And no, you didn't name the Lunar Crater. However, given that nobody wrote in the article says that the VB was named after the Lunar Crater, that's your clue to leave it to the ones who know what the VB was named for. Wikipedia is a fan site, because all the articles are written (and should be maintained) only by those who actually know what they are talking about - the fans. Scumbag 16:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
As far as citations you seem to miss the whole point. I and others could care less for your claims about being knowledgable on the matter at hand if you're unable to substantiate said claims other with chest-thumping. I could claim that Von Braun is named after a lunar crater and there is not a signle thing in the game that would point one way or another. The articles of any encyclopedia are written with the assumption that the reader does not know anything about the subject, hence why things need to be cited as to not appear as original research. I do know tha game and myself am a fan of it, but most people never played it and don't know anything about it, that's why we wrote the article. That's why any such claims in it need to be substantiated. Tani unit 17:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Do not remove ((fact)) notices from articles without providing sources. All content on Wikipedia must be verified by reliable sources. If you have reliable sources for the statements I am challenging, please provide a link or a page number in a book that supports the claims; otherwise, the tags should stay until such time as the statements are sourced or are deleted. Captainktainer * Talk 20:31, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, Scumbag! I edited your version of this article and thought I would explain why in a little more depth than the edit box allows.
While I do not disagree with the general thrust of your edit, I think that Brad's intent was not to demean the people making the suggestions. Realistically, it is likely that some people will not be satisfied with a game that is not exactly as they want it. It is true that he does not take the view of those who call things "broken" seriously. I suspect this view is actually shared by most game designers, but I know Brad tends to be more vocal about it than others.
I saw the word "fixes" as relating to this viewpoint - a game mechanic is an opinion, not something that is subject to "fixing", as it is not broken unless coded incorrectly in relation to the original design. It can, however, be changed, which is the word I used instead.
I also moved the links to the references section, as I felt they broke up the text a little as inline links. Thanks for taking the time to research them! GreenReaper 21:07, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and as for the obsfuscation - Brad asked me to setup the GalCiv Wiki specifically for the purpose of helping people with game mechanics (as well as "other things", but that was the main objective). I don't think he would have done that if he didn't want people to know about them. GreenReaper 21:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi S... (do you really want to be called that??? ;-)), if you say it's from the Marathon game, I have to believe you; I don't know anything about such things, I'm afraid. The phrase is, however, poor Latin: manus is feminine (tribus, manus, porticus...), and the adjective then, should be celeris; however, that would make the phrase ambiguous, because celeris could go with dei as well. Any idea how "they" came up with the name? Greetings T.a.k. 21:24, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
Sounds like trivia to me from your description, but maybe you could make a /Triva link or something? Seems like it could be interesting.
Your recent edits are clear POV pushing, like claiming that turn-based combat and isometric view are obsolete, while there are still many turn-based and isometric games around and in production. I also don't see how Roshambo's posts about Bethesda make him deserve a mention in Wikipedia - not to mention calling him "infamous" is yet another example of POV pushing. I also don't recall anyone seriously trying to force Bethesda into using 2D. As for me being an owner of Duck and Cover, you are simply wrong. I'd also like to see some proof of the alleged isolation of Fallout community, and it being to blame for the stuff you claim it is. Ausir 20:40, 10 May 2005 (UTC)
I never said turn based combat and isometric views are obsolete - I stated that these concepts have fallen into disuse among successful games. Looking back on it, I should have been clearer with that line, for those reasons you state: they do exist, but they have not been quite as well received by users.
But to deny that these concepts have fallen from grace so deeply to the point of removing it entirely is simply uncalled for. Edit it to admit that these concepts have faltered in the face of differing ideas, fine, but removing it entirely?
Calling Rosh infamous is hardly POV. He's a salient example of the topic you attempted to remove.
Forgive me if I called you the owner of Duck N Cover - I took the mention of Duck N Cover on your user page as one of "your websites" leaded me to believe you were the owner. I apologize if pointing this out offended you or was misleading, but Wiki readers should be informed when it appears that someone is deleting content specifically to protect their own interests.
If you'd like to see some alleged isolation of the Fallout community, I'd be happy to add that to the content that I've revived. I'll most likely link to examples of person(s) being treated poorly by those who disagree with the Fallout community, and I will likely be posting cashes of when the Fallout community overran Bethesda's forums.
Thanks for the feedback; I'm sure we can come to a mutually acceptable situation. If we don't, thats fine too - nothing on wikipedia can be deleted for long. Scumbag 01:51, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
Nice work on Unhinged. It's the first Magic set article on wikipedia, and because you did such a fine job on it, it appears poised to survive Wikipedia:Votes for deletion in spite of mild prejudice against such topics as "fancruft." Thanks. Cool Hand Luke 11:47, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I am not particularly upset about TTN, I just think it's a shame sometimes when people like him who are trying to uphold the policy, are constantly being reported to administrators as if they had done something bad, it's the same for others such as betacommand. As for the nature of wikipedia the idea was that it would be an encyclopaedia, under the logo at the top left it says "the free encyclopedia". Jackaranga (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Unhinged_poster.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. 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 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
