Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Zurenarrh.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. ww2censor (talk) 04:23, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I just reverted your edit on PlayStation Store as it was incorrect. Just wanted to clarify what I said in the edit summary: You do not have to add a certain amount but you have to add a minimum of £5 (or whatever the equivalent is in your currency). If you have nothing in your wallet and want to buy something for £3, you do need to add £5. However, if you're buying something that costs more than that, it will only add the amount needed for that item. So if you have £2 in your wallet and buy a game for £11.50, it will add £9.50 to your account, leaving you with £0 after the purchase.

I was mistaken, thanks dude. ArtistScientist (talk) 12:16, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think your Jason Todd page has more than benefitted from the constant fixes I've had to make since it seems the keeper of this page wasn't terribly knowledgeable about the Todd era. Rather sick of my edits getting warnings, considering before I showed up, his post crisis origin section was weak and biased. His pre-crisis story was non-existant. The fraud in the phone poll was never mentioned and frankly, the article read like someone who disliked the character wrote it. So I'm sick of getting warnings when I do something like edit the opening paragraph. It's too wordy. Giving the phone poll tally makes even less reason to go through the article to look at things like the death in the family section and I find the fact that it seems to have some unseen knowledge that the pre-crisis Todd was popular before to the retcon to be rather, well, made up. Further, I already had the under the hood movie in other media appearances, so what's the point of putting it in the opening. Your whole second paragraph is unnecessary.

So if I add the references I've mentioned, you'll back off? Geeky Randy (talk) 04:04, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: I've reverted your edits on Henri Ducard... again. While you may have provided a citation and also disambiguated it, I've provided numerous verifiable sources to support that the character is indeed Henri Ducard. Now, you and I were both trying to make the article better (WP: Good faith), but upon your post on my talk page, you are taking this too personal. You say that you will sanction a block on me without probable cause, which is a violation of Wikipedia:THREATEN. I will be the bigger man and ignore this, but if you continue to revert without verifiable sources, I'll file the article for WP:Edit warring. Thank you. Best, Geeky Randy (talk) 04:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Latest edit looks swell. Glad we can come to an agreement. Geeky Randy (talk) 04:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors. Which you have seem to not given to me. So, when someone randomly throws in, Do the "Bane broke Batman" story arc, you're suggesting to me that that's in goodfaith? So if I were to make such an intentional unconstructive edit, would I be given the same courtesy? It's one thing when a newcomer doesn't cite sources, is being redundant, contributes with grammatical errors; but this edit was none of the above. It's these kinds of users who make me wonder why Wikipedia allows unregistered people to edit. So, in response to someone who slaps me with an unnecessary warning about not assuming good faith when someone comes along and intentionally clusters an article, I'm going to argue that it was in good faith of me to give this person the appropriate warning so others don't have to waste their time reading or reverting his/her edit. And to get a warning over that shows that you arsn't assuming good faith on me. I'm well aware of the policies at Wikipedia and I'm also well aware of your and my history of not understanding each other. So, personally, I think this was done out of spite simply because you have a hard-on for me. So, I'm happy to reward you with a WP:UTN of your own. Thank you. Will you have the balls to try and throw a WP:WB at me? Geeky Randy (talk) 18:14, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was a simple warning with bad faith assumed. It wasn't like I didn't consider the possibility that this could've just been a simple mistake, which a lot of new people accidentally do. But this wasn't a mistake of grammar or even putting up rumors--as some people unfamiliar may think it's noteworthy and may not understand the concept of WP:CK. But this was meaningless cluster and was intentionally put there, and I was kind enough not to give the user a one and only warning, but rather assumed that the user was capable of understanding that this is not tolerated and won't go unnoticed. One question you may answer for me, or perhaps you can point me in a direction where I can find the quick answer, is why Wikipedia allows unregistered users to contribute when edits such as the user we're discussing happens all the time. Thank you. Geeky Randy (talk) 04:44, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR; the only source used was a mention of the episode itself. Personal interpretations of primary sources are discouraged, while secondary sources are preferred. No reliable sources were provided which explained an acknowledgment of the reference to Cartman in the show (WP:IPC), nor to detail how this is important to the subject of Cartman (WP:HTRIV). The material is more appropriate for an article for the Powerpuff Girl episode than it is for the Cartman article. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 21:40, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on PlayStation Portable homebrew‎. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 12:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your interest in editing. However, the articles you have created about Mario remakes do not meet up with Wikipedia policy. First off, articles must have significant coverage in reliable third party sources to be notable. Secondly, editors from WikiProject Video games have generally agreed that remakes, ports, etc. must have enough coverage to distinctly show it as a new game. Otherwise, they should be covered in the parent article to an appropriate extent. For example, out of the third versions of Pokémon games, Pokémon Yellow and Platinum have separate articles due to the extensive amount of coverage on them, showing them apart from the game they were made from, while Pokémon Crystal and Emerald are in their parent article due to lack of significant coverage showing them as a distinct game which needs extensive coverage. As a common sense rule, if half of a remake article would be a rehash from the original game's article, then it isn't worth splitting. The new content can be covered in the old article. In the case of Zelda, look at A Link to the Past & Four Swords and Ocarina of Time 3D. In the case of Mario, look at Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario 64 DS. These articles have plenty of coverage showing that the game is distinct from its original. The articles you have created do not. Thanks, _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 17:17, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've watched these splits throughout this morning to see what the result would be, and I must admit that at the present time I agree with Blake. Salvidrim! 20:10, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Mario (franchise), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page RPG (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

I have removed the proposed deletion tag you placed on List of dead comic book characters, as it has previously been discussed at Articles for deletion and per policy is permanently ineligible for deletion under the proposed deletion process. I only did this to comply with policy and have no comment one way or the other on the merits of the deletion nomination.

Thanks for uploading File:Super Mario Advance 2 box.jpeg. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.

Hi this is mazty, I'm just wondering if it really is necessary on the Wii U page to include the sales in the first 6 weeks to the 360 and PS3. From a buisness standpoint, you're comparing 7 year old products to a new one, while the global economic climate has changed a vast amount. Therefore what perspective can really be drawn from comparing those consoles?

So I, an editor of four years with no history of disruption, decided to create a sockpuppet with an extremely similar name? That's some lazy reasoning. ArtistScientist (talk) 02:47, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can still see your deleted edits, such as the creation of an attack page related to Ethan Lyons, which was further edited by a similarly named account operating from your IP. I'm sorry you feel this is lazy, but I won't consider an unblock until you provide an honest explanation for your actions. Kuru (talk) 18:04, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• I came here because I was highly surprised to see ArtistScientist, an editor with whom I have collaborated frequently in the past and whose dedicated contributions have always seemed highly helpful, was blocked. I am frankly speechless; it appears obvious that your creation of User:ArtistScientist/Ethan Lyons was an unambiguous attack, and that User:ArtistMatt, which was created minutes later and who edited that page in your userpage right off the bat indicates rather clearly some form of sockpuppetry, but I simply cannot resolve myself to believe this is happening. I would not dismiss a "little brother" theory, but please, ArtistScientist, explain yourself and your edit. :) ·Salvidrim!· ✉ 03:58, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article -ism is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/-ism (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
