Hi X201, if you get a free minute, could you help me get hold of the Rez interview in the 100th issue of Edge (August 2001) that you listed here? No need to rush, but I've recently started updating the article and I'd like to see what they had to say. Thanks in advance! -Thibbs (talk) 15:27, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
I remove this question along with your good faith response [1], hope you don't midn as the only thing you said is it was offtopic anyway. The "question" is almost definitely a copyvio from here [2]. It's quite doubtful the IP who posted here is the original author as they've been posting questions from different people on the forums, something that's been done before.

Thanks for uploading File:Sonic CD 256px.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:50, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Happy Accidents (album), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Happy Accidents. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

As you noted, Type=
needs some work and should handle Primfac's suggestion about retaining existing colors. The Chronology=
field is used in both infoboxes: in single it overrides "Artist" for a "<Different artist> singles chronology" header; in song it replaces "Album" with a "<Different album> track listing" header. The rest seems relatively straight forward – most are used the same for both. For album tracks, it may be clarified with "prev_track", "prev_track_no", "this_track_no", "next_track", "next_track_no" to distinguish from "Last single" and "Next single". Do you see other problems? —Ojorojo (talk) 19:19, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
|type=
Noticed a few of your edits are removing "[[Album]]" from |type=
(see this tracking category). I think it's better to change values like that to "studio", which is usually what's meant I think. Jc86035 (talk) Use ((re|Jc86035))

With respect, the trademark status of anything does not affect its copyright status. The two are irrespective of each other. Therefore, simply because something is trademarked does not automatically mean it is copyrighted. Therefore, we must look to the content of the logo in this case to determine if copyright can sustain. One of the tests is the threshold of originality. See Threshold of originality, which explains this test. In this case, we have the name of the product laid out in a font. There's nothing in the logo besides the letters in the name of the product. Therefore, this logo lies below the threshold of originality and does not attract copyright. For another example of this, please see File:Coca-Cola logo.svg. More information on this topic is available at Wikipedia:Logos#Copyright-free_logos and at Wikipedia:Public_domain#Fonts_and_typefaces. I am reverting your restoration of the non-free logo licensing template to this image. Please do not restore it, as it is very clearly pd-text. If you dispute this, I recommend you place a request at Wikipedia:Files for discussion to discuss its status. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 18:57, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

I have reverted your vandalism here. 50.130.251.28 (talk) 23:15, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Hey X201! I've been going around adding sales figures to articles about old games, and I happened to read online that the August 2009 issue of Edge contains an interview with Tim Schafer where he discusses that subject. If you have time, would it be possible for you to scan that interview? Thanks, either way. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 22:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
We were warring over if we should include a character list. We don't need that list, as there are many things Wikipedia is not. Braden1127 (talk) 15:13, 10 August 2017 (UTC)
I have a large watchlist and have been seeing your edits for the past half hour. Overall, thanks, but I'll use this edit to explain the problem. You'll notice that this is not a live album. The lede indicates that it's the "debut studio album" of the band. So far so good. The problem is that the type parameter is ep. An EP could be either a live recording or a studio recording, so that makes this a bit more difficult. The problem is you're adding both studio and venue. Only one or the other has to be supplied. It's not causing problems with the way that the template is being parsed because neither parameter is populated. At least it's not now. And that's the underlying problem. As editors, we have elected to not display specific parameters, usually genre but this applies to others as well, because they have encouraged unconstructive editing and edit warring. (See WP:GWAR for a generally accepted essay outlining problems around genre warring).
So what I'm requesting is make the application of parameters conditional on whether the parameter already existed or not. You seem to have done that already with the prev_title and prev_year parameters, and I assume you've done it with the same values with next_* as well. Thanks for your work on this.
BTW: You did warn Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums about this or make a general comment at a town pump somewhere, right? While I like the changes, other editors may not take kindly to mass changes like this without prior discussion. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:21, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
genre
section. I'm going to extract the data see if there is a consistent problem with that field. Another one is the lack of use of studio, if present, it's usually bundled into the recorded
field, so a job to separate the date and the studio looks on the cards.You've also made at least one formatting error on Set Me Free (Jennifer Knapp album). Note that before you edited, the last album section displayed correctly but afterward it is rendered in bold with a trailing apostrophe. It's an easy fix but I am about to go to sleep and don't have time at the moment to help with any others that may be malformed. Please look over your edits and ((ping)) me if you need help. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:24, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

You added "other" to "Type" at Twogether (John Hicks and Frank Morgan album), with the edit summary "it can't be left blank, it causes errors - use the 'other' category for things that don't fit anywhere else", but that has caused an error.

Hi there. I'm trying to track down the reviews for the original Resident Evil game plus Resident evil: Director's Cut that appear in Edge magazine issues 33 and 52 respectively. I note the reference library says you have a complete collection of the magazine. Specifically I'm looking for any kind of coverage of the character Jill Valentine, so if you do have the articles and they don't mention her at all save yourself the trouble and don't bother scanning or photographing them, just let me know.

Hello,
There will be some changes to the way wikitext is parsed during the next few weeks. It will affect all namespaces. You can see a list of pages that may display incorrectly at Special:LintErrors. Since most of the easy problems have already been solved at the English Wikipedia, I am specifically contacting tech-savvy editors such as yourself with this one-time message, in the hope that you will be able to investigate the remaining high-priority pages during the next month.
There are approximately 10,000 articles (and many more non-article pages) with high-priority errors. The most important ones are the articles with misnested tags and table problems. Some of these involve templates, such as infoboxes, or the way the template is used in the article. In some cases, the "error" is a minor, unimportant difference in the visual appearance. In other cases, the results are undesirable. You can see a before-and-after comparison of any article by adding ?action=parsermigration-edit to the end of a link, like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Foss?action=parsermigration-edit (which shows a difference in how ((infobox ship)) is parsed).
If you are interested in helping with this project, please see Wikipedia:Linter. There are also some basic instructions (and links to even more information) at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-ambassadors/2018-April/001836.html You can also leave a note at WT:Linter if you have questions.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

When you use Template:unsigned, please remember that the template says "This template should always be substituted". If you don't, the page history gets cluttered with extra edits when the bot turns up to correct the mistaken transclusion. --David Biddulph (talk) 13:26, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
Hello: Just a quick reminder – ((Infobox song)) subtemplates, such as ((Extra track listing)), ((Extra chronology)), ((Extra album cover)), ((Audio sample)), ((External music video)), etc., should use the same |type=
as that in the infobox song type= (see the documentation for those subtemplates). This way, the entire infobox will be one color, rather than a mix of colors. Also, if a song or single is taken from an EP, the name of the EP should be entered in the |EP=
field, rather than |album=
, e.g., EP = NAME, rather than album = NAME (EP). —Ojorojo (talk) 13:54, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
Song
change it to song
or when it finds [[Promotional Single]]
change it to promo
. When that lot is cleaned up it will make finding the mismatching sub-templates easier and I can generate a list and automate the clean-up if it would help. - X201 (talk) 14:35, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
|tracks=

@Ojorojo:The only way is to extract the template values and compare them. So I did. I put the results in your userspace at User:Ojorojo/Type mismatch. Hope that's OK. - X201 (talk) 07:18, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
|type=
(not just Extra track listing) conform to the main infobox song type. At the end, a list of infobox songs with blank or missing |type=
that also have subtemplates with something other than type=song could be generated for manual cleanup. Since you have more experience in this area and can speak the lingo, maybe you can take the lead. —Ojorojo (talk) 14:32, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
That's great. In going through the mismatch list, I spotted a few problems: The subtemplates use Template:Infobox album/color#Quick reference table (IA) for |type=
, while Template:Infobox song#type (IS) has its own:
This could be fixed with an instruction on the documentation pages for the subtemplates advising to always use |type=song
for all IS types, except single. But this would mean that the types wouldn't always match, although the colors would. —Ojorojo (talk) 19:30, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
|type=
: single and song (both are recognized in Infobox album/color). I'll clarify the language where needed, so nothing else needs to be changed. So when you run your bot, there should be only two choices: 1) match single to single and 2) song to everything else (including blank & missing). —Ojorojo (talk) 15:27, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
|type=single
added to match the |type=single
in the ((Infobox song)). For all other infobox types (and missing types), the Extra track listings should be set to |type=song
for a light blue color. —Ojorojo (talk) 19:06, 29 August 2019 (UTC)Thanks for showing me this tool. Could it be used to find links to pages in subcategory of Category:Wikipedia essays from ns:0 ? –xenotalk 23:45, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:Flatmates.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:04, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

However, the image is currently 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.

Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Greetings. I had a feeling my edit might get reverted, but I do hope to have a more reliable source in the form of Nintendo Official Magazine as soon as I can dig it out from the dust somewhere. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:47, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tropic of Capricorn (TV series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Simon Reeve (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:36, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi X201! You are listed in the reference library as having old copies of Edge magazine. I'm looking to improve Criterion Games and the company appears to have been featured in issues 87 and 101 of the mag. I'm curious, do you currently have these issues available for a scan?

A tag has been placed on Category:Articles using Video game reviews template in single platform mode requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Hi. I wanted to let you know that this edit did not clean up a duplicate template argument, as the edit summary suggests. I put that argument in place because it repairs a link to a disambiguation page (you can check for yourself that without that argument it links to the disambiguation page Alabama State Route 11 instead of the intended target U.S. Route 11 in Alabama). I'm not sure why the script you're using thought it was duplicate, but be careful with that. Thanks! Lennart97 (talk) 23:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
