Remnants of a Scuffle over Dungeon Hack

You reverted my notice with the statement "I understand WP:NOR." Do you also understand WP:3RR? Because you just violated the three revert rule on the Dungeon Hack article. Please stop. Please revert your change back. Nandesuka 06:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I think I'm mistaken -- you're right at the edge of 3RR, but not over it. Nonetheless, please stop substituting your own opinion for those of reliable sources. Nandesuka 06:39, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I ask again, please stop vandalizing my User TalkPage with nonsense and use the appropriate discussion page in question. D.brodale 06:40, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Your characterization of my discussion here as "vandalism" is as misguided as your substitution of your own opinion for that of MobyGames. Kind regards, Nandesuka 06:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I have moved Nightmare on Elm Street (video game) to A Nightmare on Elm Street (video game) as requested. → AA — 13:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Haunted House (vg)

Sorry about that. I removed the table. -DevinCook (talk) 08:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Kindle

Good work on the Amazon Kindle cleanup. I can't believe somebody sneaked an Amazon Associate sell-through in the external links. Brianhe (talk) 19:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Ancient Domains of Mystery

I am curious why you changed "postcardware" back to "freeware", when the game is clearly licensed as "postcardware" on his web site and in the program itself. Nowhere is it called "freeware", because that is not its license. Freeware is a different license than postcardware. Raven Morris (talk) 10:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I am aware of the distinction between freeware and postcardware, and you're right to ask that the waters not be muddied here. I've reworded "freeware" to "available free of charge", which is both apt and maintains the connection to the following clause. Some may indeed send Thomas a postcard, but it's not an enforced license. Please note that the infobox lists the license as postcardware, as it has for quite some time now. D. Brodale (talk) 12:35, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore, why in the world did you remove my update and add back in the very irrelevant "Version 1.1.0 introduced a talent system." ? Version 1.1.0 came out many years ago, it is far, far less relevant than the details of gameplay which I mentioned (that you erased).

The section is not a history report, it is refering to the most important aspects of character development. Being that it no longer mentions the various character development methods I listed, it is quite bizarre to pick a single trait out of a hat (talents), while ignoring the dozen other more important and more long-standing traits. Raven Morris (talk) 10:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Calm down. It may not be a history report, but you're overlooking the fact that ADOM 1.1.0+ is not available to all platforms to which the game has been ported. This would explain retention of the talent system in isolation here. I don't grasp the release date as a basis for argumentation, as even the latest version of ADOM (barring experimental ports) dates to 2002.

As for all the other details added to the article, the language I reworked tended along the lines of hyperbole and excessive detail (e.g., differentiating between "weapon skills" and "non-weapon skills" in place of "skills"). "Among other traits" expresses that those categories yet listed are not exhaustive.

If you truly feel as though the talent system is being elevated in some way (which was never my intention, nor, I would hazard to guess, that of the editor who first added mention of it), I don't see any great harm in removing it altogether, as it's in part a remnant of earlier editing of the article.

Deletion of redirects

Hi, D.brodale! I'm curious what you mean by your edit summary:

flag for speedy: no one will search for subject title + disambiguator.

This is in regards to TOME (computer game) and TOME (game). Why delete those redirects? In the latter case, it looks like the original article was created with that name, arguing that *someone* thought to look there :) Let me know on my talk page? Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 20:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Angband edits

Hi, seeing as you're doing various edits of the Angband page, I thought I'd draw your attention to a replacement paragraph I just suggested on its talk page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Angband_%28computer_game%29#Alternative_last_paragraph_for_.22History.22_section

I obviously can't edit the page directly since I'm the maintainer. Cheers!

Please don't remove stub tags

Please don't remove stub tags from articles, reducing them to only one. The purpose of stub tags is to inform editors that an article in their area of interest needs expanding. You defeat this purpose by removing them. SharkD (talk) 08:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

See comment on your Talk page. Keep comments relevant, timely, and clearly stated. Don't be an ass. D. Brodale (talk) 13:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think my message warrants this type of a response. There's no reason to be hostile to users who are trying to edit Misplaced Pages in peace. Misplaced Pages users try to get along and work together to improve articles. I don't see your mean-spirited comments to be conducive to the environment that is established, here. SharkD (talk) 06:27, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

See my earlier response, which you so neatly ignore in substance. I'm not being mean-spirited, I'm being blunt. On my Talk page no less. D. Brodale (talk) 06:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I've added a mention of your comments to WP:WQA. SharkD (talk) 11:00, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Super. This is how to handle matters when someone questions your original comment? I'm still uncertain how I disturbed your Misplaced Pages editing (the presumed matter) by responding to an unsolicited and irrelevant remark of yours. D. Brodale (talk) 23:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

D.brodale, while I'm not going to comment on any other part of the dispute, I would caution you to consider not calling someone an "ass" in response to what could (and should) have been assumed to be an honest mistake, at worst. --Cheeser1 (talk) 20:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
