Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver GA review

I have fixed most of what you brought up in the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver review, and have comments on some of it. Thanks, Blake (Talk·Edits) 22:00, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

PresN RfA

Would you be interested in co-nominating User:PresN with me? I'll probably have the nomination draft up tomorrow. RfA has clearly shown the desire for more prominent content-oriented nominations, as they demonstrate raw ability to judge, deal with dispute and consensus building, and follow policy, thus making reasonable candidates as long as they demonstrate understanding of Admin-related policies/guidelines in the RfA. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 05:11, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

I'll let you know when I'm done with my nomination. You can write your co-nomination right under it or something. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 22:05, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Here it is

I just typed out my nomination. Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/PresN. —Deckiller (t-c-l) 23:42, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Everything_That_Happens_Will_Happen_Today#Post-FAC review

Thanks I've done a little of what you suggested on this talk page, but some of it is difficult for me. Generally speaking, I am weakest at prose--which is to say that I'm usually better at categorization, templates, citations, adding media, structure, etc.--and I've gone over this page so many times. It's honestly exhausting to consider going over it again, but I really want this to be FA work.

As far as the media goes, it was under review during both of the other FA nominations and passed those times. I'm not saying that your concern is entirely unfounded, but it's been defended already to others' satisfaction.

Anyway, I will be happy to amend the text as you require, but it will probably take a little hand-holding and the input of someone else at a peer review, because I've amended this text so many times that I honestly don't know what more to do here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Sure I have no anticipations from you and you've already been helpful. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Requested moves

Hi, and thanks for taking care of the Template:WikiProject Biography move request. When closing move discussions, remember to also remove the {{movereq}} template from the talk page so that the bot knows to delist the discussion from WP:RM. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 09:26, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I also thank you for moving the template and its talk pages. You fulfilled my prediction at what became the end of the discussion of the move and made it almost mandatory that the discussion be closed as the move had been made leaving nothing to discuss. JimCubb (talk) 19:51, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Template:Infobox video game

I think something went wrong when you moved the italic title template down. The last field of the infobox now has some additional blank space at the bottom. Prime Blue (talk) 13:21, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm an admin now

Thanks for nominating me for adminship! I'm happy to have been selected; any rumors that I'm working on ways to delete the main page and not leave an edit summary while doing so are greatly exaggerated. --PresN 07:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to the elections!

Dear David Fuchs, thank you for nominating yourself as a candidate in the 2010 Arbitration Committee elections. On behalf of the coordinators, allow me to welcome you to the election and make a few suggestions to help you get set up. By now, you ought to have written your nomination statement, which should be no more than 400 words and declare any alternate or former user accounts you have contributed under (or, in the case of privacy concerns, a declaration that you have disclosed them to the Arbitration Committee). Although there are no fixed guidelines for how to write a statement, note that many candidates treat this as an opportunity, in their own way, to put a cogent case as to why editors should vote for them—highlighting the strengths they would bring to the job, and convincing the community they would cope with the workload and responsibilities of being an arbitrator.

You should at this point have your own questions subpage; feel free to begin answering the questions as you please. Together, the nomination statement and questions subpage should be transcluded to your candidate profile, whose talkpage will serve as the central location for discussion of your candidacy. If you experience any difficulty setting up these pages, please follow the links in the footer below. If you need assistance, on this or any other matter (including objectionable questions or commentary by others on your candidate pages), please notify the coordinators at their talkpage. If you have followed these instructions correctly, congratulations, you are now officially a candidate for the Arbitration Committee. Good luck! Skomorokh 13:11, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Questions from Lar

Hi. Best of luck in your upcoming trial by fire. As in previous years I have a series of questions I ask candidates. This year there are restrictions on the length and number of questions on the "official" page for questions, restrictions which I do not agree with, but which I will abide by. I nevertheless think my questions are important and relevant (and I am not the only person to think so, in previous years they have drawn favorable comment from many, including in at least one case indepth analysis of candidates answers to them by third parties). You are invited to answer them if you so choose. I suggest that the talk page of your questions page is a good place to put them and I will do so with your acquiescence (for example, SirFozzie's page already has them). Your answers, (or non-answers should you decide not to answer them), that will be a factor in my evaluation of your candidacy. Please let me know as soon as practical what your wish is. Thanks and best of luck. (please answer here, I'll see it, and it keeps things together better) ++Lar: t/c 14:55, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey Lar, stick the questions where you wish and I'll try to get to them as soon as possible. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 15:02, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Done, and thanks for the quick answer. Sorry for the delay in actually posting them, I've just been flying home from SFO all day... ++Lar: t/c 03:57, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Kirill's comment

Hi David. Could you point me to the comment of Kirill's described here? I'm not sure where to look. Thanks.--Chaser (talk) 17:10, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I was mostly referring to the comments such as "An ever-increasing fraction of our workload consists of 'behind the scenes' work—hearing appeals, responding to questions and complaints, investigating allegations of sockpuppetry. Managing this is less visible and glamorous than case work." from the interview itself; I've tried to make my response a little clearer in that regard. Thanks, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 19:46, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, the interview I linked. I feel a bit sheepish. Thanks for getting back to me.--Chaser (talk) 19:49, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

LexisNexis

Hey. Hate to bother you about this, but—following your suggestion about a week ago—I sent you an email request for LexisNexis sources. The most important one was a Boston Herald article about Looking Glass Studios audio; I believe the others were System Shock reviews. I just wanted to make sure you didn't, for example, miss my email due to the dissimilarity of my email address (johnadkins256) and Wikipedia name. No rush, though; just looking for a status update. Thanks. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 23:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Populous-stage.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Populous-stage.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 04:01, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I did quite a bit of copy-editing a couple weeks ago in preparation for today, but I don't have time to make further adjustments. It's already on the main page anyway! —Deckiller (t-c-l) 03:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Question on Afd

In your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chronology of the Harry Potter series (5th nomination) you didn't state whether you saw consensus, you restated one arguement that was made with a !vote to delete. Why do feel their was a consensus to delete rather than a "no consensus" close? You can reply here as I will watch the page. Thank You. Outback the koala (talk) 04:54, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Because that opinion was based in policies and was not refuted by any who supported keeping the article. Consensus isn't counting heads, it's about strength of arguments, and the delete opinions were far stronger than the keep's. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 14:18, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
I understand your position. In that case I was wondering if you would be open to userfying the article into my userspace, so I can work on it, trim it down alot, and hopefully reintroduce it to the project when it is ready, farther down the road. Outback the koala (talk) 04:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
David, I have not heard back from you. If you are not open to userfying the article could you explain your reasons why please? Outback the koala (talk) 08:05, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! it may take a while but it will likely help the project. :) Outback the koala (talk) 20:12, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Chronology of the Harry Potter Series

I understand, though disagree, with the reasons for the deletion. However, I wonder if someone who wanted this deletion so badly should revisit all the HP articles to remove references to birthdates and links to the page that was deleted? Or is this something that will be done gradually? Ccrashh (talk) 14:34, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

New comment at South Park (season 13)

Hey David, it's Hunter Kahn from over at the South Park (season 13) FAC. I was hoping you could take a look at the new comment I made over at that review and weigh in with your thoughts. I posted it because there seemed to be a growing movement to take a tally of the yes/no votes regarding the image, but I didn't want it to come to that because I felt it would be disrespectful to you and Fasach. In the spirit of compromise, I made two suggestions. However, I would like to add that I personally feel the FAC discussion does indicate there is a WP:CONSENSUS for the image, and hope that you will at least consider suggestion #1 and consider not opposing the article based strictly on the image, even if you disagree. After nearly a month at FAC, I'd hate for this one issue alone to sink the nomination. Thanks, and sorry to be a pest! — Hunter Kahn 17:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Lara Croft images

David- The images in the Lara Croft article are being discussed at the FAC. Hahnchen suggested a different main image. I also removed one image per comments from Fasach Nua, but other comments suggest that the matter could do with further discussion. I asked Fasach Nua to comment further on the removal rationale. Could you please weigh in as well? Full disclosure: I disagree with the removal, but will follow consensus. (Guyinblack25 talk 15:57, 1 December 2010 (UTC))

Multiplayer online battle arena/Dota (genre)/Action RTS

Hey, So, I figured it may be time to solve the debates with the Multiplayer online battle arena and Dota (genre). Will it be possible to provide administrative input or action for this debate, since it seems the creator of the latter feels ownership over his article and considering Valve and IceFrog's own words, the genre would be best described as an "Action RTS". DarthBotto talk•cont 21:53, 01 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, neither of the primary editors vying between Dota (genre) or multiplayer online battle arena seem ready to see their contributions condensed into one page. Dotaveteran appears to feel ownership over the article he created and User:User:Immunmotbluescreen has been on a serious defense, reverting my edits, sending me warnings and spreading bad word about the fact that I quoted the genre from the Dota 2 blog, which he says is from an "evil corporation" and shouldn't be stood for. I appreciate both of their levels of enthusiasm and would be for seeing their original work remaining, but when we have two articles saying the exact same thing, something has got to give.
My proposition, which they have been both opposed to, is that we merge the information of both articles into "Action RTS". It has been stated by DotA's longest-serving, official and current developer, backed by the company that has a trademark that is in its final processing stages. I think it would be perfectly appropriate and would spark the least debate. There will be debate, but that's the way things go with this kind of forward motion.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Good job on this, the state of these articles a year ago was shocking and the improvements are appreciated Fasach Nua (talk) 21:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

In the news today

What? What do you mean you didn't know about the robes? I thought the only reason anyone ever ran for such a thankless job was so that they could get a nice set of plush golden robes. "In it for the community" you say? Bah! The bling is where it's at. Even the Supreme Court can't top this swag. You could pawn this for a house! Why the heck else did you think that the foundation needed 20 million dollars?

So you're really serious about the whole "helping the community" and "for the good of the project" business? Aww, shucks. Go ahead and keep the robe anyways then. Do us proud.

Congratulations on your victory, may your tenure be peaceful and have a net low adverse interaction on your sanity. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:39, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

South Park (season 13) image (again)

To Fasach and David: I wanted to let you that I've restored the infobox image to South Park (season 13). It was suggested by one of the two objectors to the image that my compromise attempt was not the best way to go; that it circumvented the FAC, constituted forum shopping, made the article unstable, etc. etc. It was suggested that it would be better to either add the image or not, and then let the chips fall where they may with the FA delegate, so that's what I've done. I wanted to let you know so that you can weigh in and restore your oppose vote if you like, which I fully respect. (I also stated on the page that I expect this would lead to the restoration of that oppose vote, and that I'm sure it will be considered by the delegate.) Thanks, and please understand I mean no disrespect by readding the image despite your comments, nor did I mean any disrespect by proposing my compromise idea. I was simply trying to reconcile the conflicting comments about the image. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 18:15, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations

Congratulations from me as well. I look forward to working with you during the next two years. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 01:20, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Halo: Reach GAN

While I'd agree that almost everything looks great, the Reception section is extremely short given the amount of coverage it had. I just don't see any way of it passing GAN without expansion there, especially when it only talks about one aspect of the reviews. --Teancum (talk) 17:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

.hack

In your copious free time, before the rest of it gets sucked away at ArbCom, could you take a peek at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/.hack_(video_game_series)/archive2? I'm not altogether convinced that it's been thoroughly research, but then I could probably be easily persuaded that is has if I get a second opinion from you. --Andy Walsh (talk) 20:04, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Master and Commander-The Far Side of the World poster.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

Blurb on you

Hi David, I wonder whether you'd mind reviewing the short blurb on you at The Signpost's "Election report", which is due for publication in not much more than 24 hours. I cobbled together the information from your RfA, your userpage, and wherever else I could, hoping it's not a plain repetition of the information about you that was part of the election process. Some of it might be a little out-of-date, and please check for balance, inclusion, tone, etc. We are happy if you edit it yourself, if necessary. Thanks. Tony (talk) 17:05, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

It's a rumour being passed around. I heard it the other day. If it's untrue, or you'd prefer to remain anon. on that count, please tweak it out of the blurb. Tony (talk) 17:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Plateosaurus

Hye David, HMallison (talk · contribs) is (or more correctly will be) a first-timer at FAC with Plateosaurus and I am looking to different people to nag to give it the once-over before hand (nice to have a paelontologist get into the swing of things...). I think me and firsfron have looked at it quite a few times so a new set of eyes'd be good. Even a brief look-over would be good (I actually think it looks in pretty good shape). Be the first dino article for a while - have also reactivated the collaboration to see how it flies in Jan...Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:30, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi David, appreciate your rather thorough dealing with Plateosaurus! Thanks! Please go through all the way :) So far all you changed looks perfectly fine, but one of the inline questions leaves me with a reply question:
how much detail should be given in general for complex terms that are wikilinked? I think "taphonomy" is a pretty good example of a term that encompasses much more than can be summarized in less than five words (although I will try). Because there is a perfectly good article on the subject, I fear that giving an incomplete summary will lead to readers to whom the term is unfamiliar not clicking through, and thus "taking home" the insufficient explanation. This often may not be a big problem, but in biological sciences, where we fight the eternal defensive war against intolerant religion, this may be an unnecessary partial defeat. Essentially, we miss an opportunity to teach, and give an oversimplified, and thus potentially misleading answer instead. As you probably noted we tried to give many in-line explanations, and I will add those for cervical and caudal, too (because there is no potential for misinterpretation), but I still want to have the links in the text as an invitation to dig deeper, and go from "knowing about one genus" to "understanding an extinct animal".
I'll be quite busy and away for a few days now, but will try to address the issues you raise as quickly as possible. Please hammer me hard and ASAP if changes are not what you expected or wanted to trigger with your remarks! HMallison (talk) 20:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
I see your points and agree, thank you very much!
Another thing: when I formatted references I copied the style I found, then later someone altered it a bit. I never made sure it conforms to any guidelines, because on de.wikipedia I made the nasty discovery that they demand everything formatted in a style typical for language studies, but totally uncommon in natural sciences. I therefore closed both eyes and left things the way they are natural to me, and common in the discipline. When you get to the ref list, and find things not in order, please don't yell ;) HMallison (talk) 21:11, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

South Park (season 13)

Hey. You had weighed in at the first FAC for South Park (season 13), which got hung up largely because of the image. Now there is a second FAC discussion ongoing, where once again the image is dominating the conversation. At the FA delegate's suggestion, I am asking everyone who participated in the first FAC to weigh in once again, if it's not too much trouble, but please comment on the full set of FA criteria rather than just the image fair use rationale, so we can work toward a consensus on the overall FAC. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 17:48, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays
Hope you have a lovely holiday season. I have one request: At least once this season, completely ruin someone's attempt to piss you off. If someone cuts you off in traffic or shits on you at work, just smile and wave and tell them Happy Holidays. Maybe they'll be less of an asshole, even if it's just for the rest of the day.

Hey. When Halo: Reach is reviewed and passed, could you give me a ping? This way I can note that on the featured topics list and I won't have to worry about that one. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 23:25, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Humpback to the Future

I could be a bit dense since I still could not figure out the statement about the panning (and I just re-watched the scene). Regardless, that may not matter in the grand scheme of things. What I am more concerned about (and makes me hesitant to support) is the un-sourced cameo list. Note: I am about to go on vacation in about 24 hours, so I might leave a "conditional support" (that the list be cited or removed) before I leave, just in case you have not the time to respond.

I tried an alternative hook and would like to know if I understood. Please also look at the first line of the article, and I think to mention the hook fact twice in the article is enough. I found it three times. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:10, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
