Edits on Neo Roanoke

I want to talk about Neo Roanoke, a fictional character from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. Seeing that Neo is Mu La Flaga himself (revealed later on), I can only wonder about the reason that you insist to redirect it to List of Gundam SEED characters instead. --Blackhawk charlie2003 14:50, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

The Ocean Group AfD

An article that you have been involved in editing, The Ocean Group, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Ocean Group. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 02:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

April 2007

Hello, Silver Edge! Thank you for reverting vandalism to Misplaced Pages. After you revert, I would recommend also warning the users whose edits you revert on their talk pages with an appropriate template or custom message. This will serve to direct new users towards the sandbox, educate them about Misplaced Pages, and a stern warning to a vandal may prevent him or her from vandalizing again. Thanks! Wavemaster447 03:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

---Correction: I used the wrong template - sorry. What I meant to ask is that when you warn vandals, please do not give them all 4 warnings in the same edit. Also, please sign your name after the warnings. Happy reverting! --Wavemaster447 01:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

List of Gundam Seed characters

Thanks for the large amount of cleanup work you did on this. Edward321 13:40, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

GSD

Can you tell me why you got rid os the chunk of text in the GSD article reffering to Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Club Yonkoma?--Tempest115 13:25, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling video games

In this modification, note that we need to duplicate the reference. The Disney sales must point to the archived version, because that is where the data is, while all the others must point to the current one. If we mix both references in one, it means we are using the archive for all of them, which is not true. Cheers! -- ReyBrujo 02:02, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, I have suggested a modification to the {{cite web}} template to add a parameter for dead references. Hopefully that will prevent having both a reference and a {{fact}} tag in the reference. -- ReyBrujo 02:05, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Historico-medical categories?

Hi, I noted that you tagged a pile of categories beginning with "Historico-medical" for deletion as misnamed. I'm not contesting the tags (in fact, it meets CSD C2), but I'd appreciate it if you would tell me the new name(s) for the categories to be renamed, so that I can rename the categories rather than merely deleting them. Thanks, Nihiltres 14:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks...

a lot. Cheers- CattleGirl 08:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of List of weapons packs in Gundam Series

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on List of weapons packs in Gundam Series, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because List of weapons packs in Gundam Series is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting List of weapons packs in Gundam Series, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. CSDWarnBot 14:05, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Your userpage

Hi. I see that a vandal created your user page, and now it lies blank, with no content. Would you prefer that it be deleted? -- Anonymous Dissident 06:18, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Deleted. Happy editing. -- Anonymous Dissident 06:28, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Case Closed

Please do not categorize it as detective fiction. This category is for the pages relevant to the genre as a whole (subgenres, etc). All particular instances (novels, stories, cartoons, anime, etc) are better categorized according to their media, thus Case Closed is in Category:Mystery anime and manga. Otherwise the category becomes unmanageable and useless. Thank you. Henry Merrivale 02:47, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling handheld video games

What you were doing was redirecting the article to the list page, so if anyone tried to click on the link, they'd just go right back to the list page. You literally had it linked to the page that was the link. HalfShadow 00:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Copula tense and discontinued consoles

I've noticed you making reversions like this and this with the edit summary "all the other discontinued console articles uses 'was'". Have you ever checked that assertion? In fact, of the consoles listed on Template:Dedicated video game consoles, only Vectrex, NES, and SNES state "was a video game console" rather than "is a video game console". A few others have some variation on "was X's nth video game console", which is a statement of status rather than a simple category membership.

I don't particularly care whether you go through and change all the other articles to "was", or change the three to "is", or bring up the issue at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Video games to get a wider consensus than just yourself. But please stop making false claims. Thank you. Anomie 11:57, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

PS3

I didn't change the number of units sold, if you look at the differences I only inserted 1080i into the hardware section. Thank You -- Vdub49 17:52, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

alright, my bad I thought you were saying I did, I misread it. -- Vdub49 22:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

SM64

What is your problem? It is true, why did you erased that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.193.117.66 (talk) 22:23, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, your edit summary was confusing and seemed to contradict with your edit http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Super_Mario_64&diff=prev&oldid=166846565, and what do you mean by "it is the most downloadable title in the Virtual Console"? If by that you mean Super Mario 64 is the most downloaded title on the Virtual Console, then cite your source since it needs to be verified before being included. --Silver Edge 00:35, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Death Note "Forum"

Hi. I undid your edit to the talk page and posted a short response instead which politely discouraged turning the talk page into a discussion forum. I think we should be careful not to bite the newbies. I'm not sure this is what you had in mind, but I think this better handles the situation. Drumpler 08:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I removed that section because based on Misplaced Pages:Talk page guidelines: "Keep discussions on the topic of how to improve the associated article. Irrelevant discussions are subject to removal." I probably should of been more specific in my edit summary. --Silver Edge 02:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Article

In the halo article I undid your revision because it looked "like" vandalism. I couldn't tell, as there were strange characters inserted in multiple places in your edit. If I was wrong then I apologize, just re-add what you had. businessman332211 04:29, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

i saw your note when you did the re-undo. I apologize for the mistake, I looked through your contributions, and everything you done has been good so far. Again, apologies for the misunderstanding. businessman332211 04:33, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

It's alright, these things happen. --Silver Edge 04:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

If only there was a easier way to spot spaces being added in to an article in a diff. --Silver Edge 04:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Chun-Li

• Regarding the "See also" edit, I'm curious why you left Pocket Fighter. Cheers:) JuJube 02:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I see... just so you know, I don't oppose the edit (I actually think it's about time), I was just wondering if you left Pocket Fighter just so the Wikiquote template would have a place to hang around. If that was the case, I thought Street Fighter was probably a better link. JuJube 02:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Street Fighter stuff

		The Minor Barnstar
		For doing all the little changes to spruce up the Street Fighter (series) character articles.

Contractions

The MOS applies to articles; welcome messages and help pages can follow more informal rules of usage. Λυδαcιτγ 05:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Yun (Street Fighter)

• Get ready for a fight... sort of. People seem to like to wait until they think no one's paying attention and then readd that Trowa/Duo stuff. JuJube 10:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

List of Virtual Console games (North America)

It was Genesis in North America, not "Mega Drive", so please don't change it again. TJ Spyke 00:51, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the warm welcoming! :) Zombie007 (talk) 18:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice work on 7 gen

Thank you for catching my mistakes, reformatting my changes so they actually look good, and finding and rooting out those unsuspicious errors in the article, and of course all your vandalism reverts. It's really fun editing when you're online! clicketyclick_yaketyyak 23:40, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Dynasty Warriors

Whoops, thought I'd confirmed that sales figure was for the game, not the series. My bad. But I updated the Dynasty Warriors series article with an updated figure from Koei's corporate page. --Tntnnbltn 12:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow, I swore I did that. I must've been really off my game last night! Anyway, thanks. --Tntnnbltn 11:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

StarCraft series

You've got a point there, I adapted that part from the introduction of StarCraft, so it will need changing there as well. SC is certainly ranked up near the top of bestselling PC games, but it does need a reliable source for an exact statement of rank. How about the wording "one of the best selling PC games of all time", that acknowledges that its exact position is in flux, but still maintains that its in the top bunch. -- Sabre 11:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

December, 2007

Thank you for making a report on Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Misplaced Pages and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 01:46, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar

		The VG Barnstar
		For all the little edits in just about every video games related article out there, and for correcting the grammatical errors that I unwittingly introduce, I award you this barnstar. Thingg (talk) 15:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

List of best-selling video game franchises

Hey, noticed your {{inuse}} tag while making a big change. Want to finish checking all the references, updating the accessdate for them, and transforming {{cite web}} to {{cite press release}} where necessary? I can continue adding some new franchise values I have around, all with between 5m and 9m units. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 03:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Oops, took the franchise list to do that. Do you want to convert the full list of video games instead from one template to the other? -- ReyBrujo (talk) 03:50, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, you can go top to bottom, and once I finish I can work bottom to top so that we don't clash. Put an {{inuse-section}} tag at the section you are working, and a {{underconstruction}} at the top of the article. That should prevent edit conflicts. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 04:02, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
