Edit/revert war

You seem to be having a bit of trouble. I thought you might want to inform 216.57.18.74 of the three-revert rule or report a violation thereof (here). You, of course, have also broken it, but... I think that can be ignored. (Additionally, I think they have broken one or more rules governing vandalism. I find this is very helpful.) — SheeEttin {T/C} 18:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Either report them for a violation of the 3RR here or give them a warning on their talk page with one of the templates at WP:TT. I think {{3RR}} or {{3RR4}} would work, though thay aren't exactly harsh enough. (PS: You only need to write --~~~~. You don't need to add your name.) — SheeEttin {T/C} 19:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Reasoning behind removals on Andrea Muizelaar article?

Hi Coltonblue... just curious what prompted the removals you made to the article on Andrea Muizelaar. For example, that she was a cashier at a dollar store to me is a notable fact. If she was a cashier at a haute couture store, it would have been less notable. I am a Wikipedia novice though, so I may be missing a whole train of thought that you were following. DeweyQ 02:17, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

The article does still note that before winning she was a cashier, but it is unnecessarily specific to list which chain in particular and sort of irrelevant. The part about her clothing coming from Goodwill is also sort of irrelevant to the article.--Coltonblue 02:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I agree. I added neither fact about Dollarama, nor Goodwill and Salvation Army (or as in the original hilarious edit "Salivation" Army). But I think a cashier at a dollar store is not unnecessarily specific. Thanks! --DeweyQ 05:22, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You can check out WP:CVU, there is a list of vandal-reverting tools there. --Pilotguy ^{(roger that)} 01:41, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

Dear Colton, please remain calm when editing, as other editors may have different opinions than you, which is both allowed and encouraged. Wikipedia is built on both mutual thought, and out going thinkers, and we need both to function, so please let other editors voice their views and ideas. While the current version of the article follows the MoS closer than the prior version, many infrequent editors become accustomed to a previous version of an article, and prefer over the updated version. If you disagree with these changes, please calmly explain your rationale on either the talk page or the editor's user talk page. Thank you, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 20:26, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

It's fine, I think the box was only going to remain there until release, since a lot of the information wouldn't survive in the creature articles, mainly because of a variety of polcies. I agree with your thoughts on policy, but we have to Assume Good Faith in situations such as this. Cheers, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 20:38, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Re:User talk:GBASP

I don't know how much you know about warning templates, a table of them here, but if you see them vandalizing, you add {{test}}, if they vandalize again, you add {{test2}}, and so on and so forth until they vandalize after {{test4}}, at which point you can ask an admin to help, or post a notice at WP:AIV, there's instruction on what to do there. Good luck vandal fighting, Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 22:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

User:Kingofhearts has indef blocked GBASP and Kingofgames for being vandalism only accounts. Problem solved, ;) Highway ^{Return to Oz...} 22:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Sims 2 editing

I appreciate what you are trying to do with The Sims 2. I don't want to discourage you from your present course, but I would like for you to know that what you see there will be changing drastically in the next couple of days. I'm working on a new version of the article at User:Braindrain0000/The Sims 2. I would appreciate your input there. I'm still wikifying the article with links and references, but I would appreciate comments on the content itself. Thanks. --Carl ^{(talk|contribs)} 00:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm glad you're trying to improve the article. It's really terrible and all over the place right now. I just ask that when you begin to make your changes that you pay mind to what I've added and subtracted from the article. --Coltonblue 00:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Understood. The interesting thing is that some of your changes are the very ones that I made the last time I did a serious copy-edit on the article. Unfortunately, things erode away after time. I will keep in mind what you've contributed to the article, especially the things that are materially new to the article. --Carl ^{(talk|contribs)} 01:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl video

Check out this video for Pokemon Diamond and Pearl: [[1]]. The video is an in-depth look at Diamond and Pearl. One of the major things about it is that it reveals that pokemon make animated appearances. I just wanted to let you know about this video,it shows quite alot. 0-172 22:22, 22 August (UTC)

Edit summaries when tagging for AfD

Hello, I thought I'd just drop you a reminder that it's good practice to add an edit summary stating "AfD" or the similar when tagging an article for AfD. This makes tracking the history of the article much clearer, and is generally considered civil to other editors. Thank you, and good call on Pokemon Natures - just remember the edit summary next time :P LinaMishima 08:52, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd guessed it was an accident :) That's why I set "always prompt for an edit summary" on within my preferences - I figure even just "reply" is helpful to someone looking over a history listings, and it's invaluable when working with articles to know which edits you can probably ignore LinaMishima 18:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Diamond/Pearl Returning Pokemon

Okay then. Tell me how it is irrevelant. And until I get a good answer, I'm gonna keep re-adding it. DarknessLord 00:53, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Wow, you're actually smart enough to add your reply to my page but not to your own page... and deleting idocy... please... Here's my reply on my own page:

Well well well, look who's talking about ignorant little jerks. I don't see the difference between returning Pokemon being irrevelent, and new Pokemon being irrevelent (I ask you this, as the ignorant little jerk I am (you know that hurts)). I never said it was a video game guide. Trust me, I have guides of Ruby/Sapphire, FireRed/LeafGreen, and Emerald. Believe me, all I see is a walkthrough and a Pokedex. I don't see "Marill is a returning Pokemon from the second generation."

Furthermore, I can't believe that I have to explain this to you. Wikipedia is not a "delete-everything-you-want" buffet. Read the policy. It is not irrevelant to list Pokemon that are "returning". If it was, it would be irrevelant to list the Pokemon that are "new". I guess I'll juse have to keep adding it back in if you're going to be an ignorant little jerk about it.

(Plus, the policy doesn't say "It is irrevelent to list the Pokemon returning", it would say "If we made a rule about returning Pokemon being irrevelant, why don't we delete the New Pokemon section of Diamond/Pearl.")

Tsk, tsk, what I have to go through these days... DarknessLord 22:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Colton, Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. In particular, in your edit here it was probably not an idea to call them an "ignorant little jerk". Even if they may be acting in a foolish manner, please remember not to resort to personal attacks. Let the other side get agrivated at your civil manner, instead. LinaMishima 22:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't replace free images with images that are copyrighted like what you did with Stacy Ferguson as this is not allowed. Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 00:31, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kantomap.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Kantomap.png. 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.

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. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

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 insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Cntmlogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cntmlogo.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.
