Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Perpetual Wake, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 04:01, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Perpetual Wake, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Perpetual Wake is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Perpetual Wake saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please feel free to use deletion review, but do not continue to repost the article if it is deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions.

I have responded to your remarks on my talk page. Beeblbrox (talk) 23:15, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Dread_Logo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 22:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:IndianaJonesFranchise.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 01:15, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi DarthBotto!
We thank you for uploading Image:BatmanInterrogatesTheJoker.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.
This message is from a robot. --John Bot III (talk) 17:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain your message on TDK talk page? Seriously? Is this a bad joke? Am I a lord to you or something just because I know my policy and am a good editor? Oh wait... You realise the poster is there right? Alientraveller (talk) 21:25, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gnomecover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Mousesports, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mousesports. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? -- The Red Pen of Doom 12:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I notified you because looking at the edit history of Mousesports, half of the non-IP edits were from you, therefore it seemed appropriate to let you know that "An article that you have been involved in editing" was up for deletion. If you don't care, I am sorry for bothering you. -- The Red Pen of Doom 03:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Mousesports. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. 151.200.237.53 (talk) 18:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your image was inserted successfully into Dragonball (film), and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

Regarding your comments on Talk:Dragonball (film): Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing.

If there's been no action on a stale merger proposal, you can just take the tag off yourself. You don't need me to do it. Daniel Case (talk) 15:30, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Where does this come from? There is no information on the file. I've removed it until you provide evidence that it is free. Fences and windows (talk) 05:11, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of images, unless licensed under the GNU FDL, Creative Commons Attribution licenses or public domain. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Fences and windows (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:NeesonAfterNatashasdeath.jpg. 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) 06:09, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Some users have decided to try and relaunch the spotlight project, and I am informing all users that were on the previous list of participants.

We thought that, rather than discuss it, it would be more effective to simply start, and try to make it work again. Therefore, we are currently working on an article.

Anyone is welcome to get involved, so please come to the #wikipedia-spotlight channel on the freenode IRC network (see the IRC tutorial for help with IRC). You can get instant access using freenode webchat.

This edit, which you marked as minor and left without an edit summary, constitutes vandalism. Don't do it again. [1].Bali ultimate (talk) 12:48, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated Kodiak Island UFO sighting, 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/Kodiak Island UFO sighting. 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. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:10, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, good. Then you'll be pleasantly surprised to know that I have moved for its re-introduction into Wikipedia. I also told them that you gradually removed the sources until it was eligible for deletion, so cheers! DarthBotto _talk•cont 05:47, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I was just looking into helping get the Taskforce on Pro Gaming started again. If you are interested in putting effort into this wikiproject, please post here Best Regards, NativeForeigner ^Talk/_Contribs 21:38, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sk logo.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hammersoft (talk) 20:33, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.

Nice man! I love it!--FifthCylon (talk) 04:25, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

A discussion has begun about whether the article Evil Geniuses, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evil Geniuses until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. SnottyWong ^gab 23:22, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm going to college right now, which means I have bigger things to do than getting worried about a Wikipedia article. I know that I can edit the article and I know that I can discuss it. But, will I? No. DarthBotto _talk•cont 00:18, 09 October 2010 (UTC)

Whether you'd like to discuss the situation rationally or just throw a hissy fit is, of course, your prerogative. SnottyWong ^squeal 22:12, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I've undone your cut-and-page move of DOTA 2 to Dota 2 as it splits the edit history between two separate pages. If you feel the page should be moved, please make a move request so it can be moved properly. Thank you. Reach Out to the Truth 15:52, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

The thing is, Dota 2 isn't exactly a direct sequel--some of the original authors have gone on to create games that could also be called sequels, for instance, and Valve /= IceFrog itself. Either way, DotA is DotA, and a sequel doesn't deserve any major mention in the original article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:19, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, you and I have worked together pretty well for the last few months to keep Defense of the Ancients article clean and orderly. Despite some small differences in opinions, I'm still interested in seeing the article continue to improve. DarthBotto _talk•cont 02:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Depending on the amount of information when the game is closer to release, it might make sense to move some of the trademark info from "Development" to a short "Sequel" section at the bottom of the info so it's a more natural outtro to what's there, but I think we should probably wait a little while for more info. If you've got a problem with my edits, let me know—I fully admit that I'm a bit protective of these article since I am or used to be the only guy working on them back in the day, and I probably don't play nice as often as I should :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:18, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Heroes of Newerth. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

It makes me sad to see how far you are prepared to go in order to promote DotA 2 and multimillion-dollar Valve Corporation. However your immoral censoring attempt didn't go unnoticed. As you already knew your link in this edit Revision as of 23:04, 5 November 2010 does not even mention Action-RTS. I'll correct all MOBA games so that the infoboxes shows MOBA as genre instead.--Immunmotbluescreen (talk) 20:03, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

First of all, read Wikipedia:Vandalism before you post unverified and unreliable "warnings" to me, you'll find that referencing a first-party consensus for a debated genre is reliable until one that is more reliable exists. In this case, the word from IceFrog and Valve Corporation trumps out what a HoN fan site describes as a "MOBA". I was the original creator of the Dota 2 page and it is thanks to myself and the administrator David Fuchs that the Defense of the Ancients page is what it is today. Furthermore, I would encourage you to look into the Wikipedia community's view point on the Dota (genre) talk page on this subject before you single me out as a vandal, which I might say is insulting since I have been editing Wikipedia long before you have and have far more experience with this kind of business.

Please do not send me more of your "warnings". You may attempt to undo my edits, but you will see other Wikipedia users revert back to mine, simply because you are basing your threats off of hearsay. Vandalism does not constitute making you sad, so don't pull this crap again. DarthBotto _talk•cont 00:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

What did you exactly have in mind? A bigger RfC? I'm afraid I'm somewhat involved in the debate so I wouldn't be worth anything besides another set of opinions. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 00:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
