Thanks[edit]

Additions to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3[edit]

Ok, sorry about that edit. I'll try not to do it again mate.

But the thing you said about the release date being different in each region, I just wanted to say something; I wrote "It was first released in". So I actually wrote when it was firstly released.

PS3 model comparison[edit]

Thanks heaps for helping me in simplifying the table. I've tried so many things to make it simpler... but it just never looked right. It looks much better now. ★Ffgamera★ - My page! · Talk to me!· Contribs 08:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

PlayStation[edit]

Hi Alphathon! Can you please fix the spacing at PlayStation one more time, because I can't see what you did. There was vandalism before your edit, so I reverted. Thank you! Lova Falk (talk) 11:27, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mega Drive article[edit]

I admit I was being a bit stupid with the caption and the png vs. jpeg image, but I actually like that picture as a secondary main image. The Super NES article has two main images listed, and I awoke to a pleasant surprise seeing that image there this morning. I have put it back, and it has given me some ideas for more images within the article. Thank you for your positive edits and support! : ) SexyKick 00:47, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am actually planning that space for other images. I know it can be overly complicated working on the Mega Drive article due to there being so many revisions, peripherals, and companies involved (especially with the revival last year.) That's why I think this image is so awesome for a main image, it incorporates so much into one image. Moreover, the United States is where the Mega Drive sold the most units, and specifically with the Genesis 2 model. So units sold wise, it's the most well known model, with both add ons, both controllers, and it's such a well done image on top of it (most of the images on here are pretty crappy and I don't have a camera, so I have to ask others for help.) I am really hoping I don't have to take this to the talk page, since 1. I'm pretty sure we'd side with you in the end anyway, I partially agree with most of your points, and 2. We haven't had to take anything to the talk page for a few months now. I could really use help in fixing a few of the references, cleaning up the Variations & Revival sections/get more references for those two sections as well. I see you're a good editor and all, and I truly appreciate the help you've been providing with the article. Please let this one slide.--SexyKick 01:19, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I like that plan! I hope it works out. I really dig the new image. I'm glad you suggested that. Really if we could have found a way to keep the caption size down, it's still using almost exactly the same/less space as the SNES info box images.--SexyKick 01:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Really the logos should be considered separate from the console images. There are three logos in the MD article, vs. two in the SNES article. Both have two console images (hypothetically.) So the SNES article actually has four images, not three...the reason you probably didn't notice that, is because the caption only talks about the console images, and not the logos. Personally I think that means we could condense the MD caption to only talk about the consoles, rather than the Logos.--SexyKick 01:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It really is two logos. [1] & [2] I've thrown together another compromise based on this information.--SexyKick 01:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I know when you posted it, I saw the time stamps, you posted it less than one minute after I posted my second message here, so there was no way you saw my second message here at that time. I understood. There was no need to say that stuff there about "an hour ago," or repeat the tid-bit on the talk page not being this or that. I just feel like it's drama baiting, or at least embarrassing for me, for you to write that. You're supposed to try to resolve conflicts by talking with the other editor before bringing things to the talk page. It's protocol, not set in stone protocol, but loose protocol. In this case, it was simply an editor disagreement (albeit a small one IMHO, since we're almost on the same page, but not quite.) The only times I see people talk in talk pages is when they either want to dispute something in the article/content, want to add something to the article/content, or want help editing a section of the article/content. The only thing this could have fallen into was the dispute, and since we were clearly capable of settling it between ourselves (which, much respect to you btw for being that open and social and helpful to be able to settle a slight disagreement without an actual edit war,) there's no need to bring it to the talk page. Basically that's just giving more people the chance to say the image shouldn't be there, whom otherwise wouldn't care - in this case. Either way, I'm sure we can be done with this now. Overall it is a pleasure working with you, and I foresee us working well together in the future.--SexyKick 02:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I'm impressed with your caption toning. I hope you'll help with the other things in the article I said I could use help with.--SexyKick 02:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for tweaking my edit to the emulation section. I was confused as to which order and what style of grammar to use.--SexyKick 17:01, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Revert_only_when_necessary#One-revert_rule Here's the thing I was talking about a long time ago, discussing it with the re-reverter instead of just going to the talk page. Personally I don't like my mistakes broadcast in a more public sense. I do appreciate my mistakes being corrected, and talked about on my own talk page though - you did a great job with your wording on technologically superior. You found the perfect middle ground that I wanted to find, but couldn't. I'm glad you watch the things I put in the article and correct their wording so well. Thanks again : ) !--SexyKick 17:39, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IP user 68.173.229.242[edit]

Hi Alphathon. I just had a quick question- do you know what's up with this edit [3] and this edit [4] by the IP? It is very odd- he is both affixing his IP to the end of your signature, and then affixing a post of his directly to your post without any sort of differential. The first time I could have dismissed it as a fluke, but when he does it twice, despite having used proper formatting in his talk in the past[5], it gives a direct impression that he's trying to say he's you. I don't want to post anything in the discussion page until I can sort this out. FluffyPug (talk) 17:37, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tried signing my post using the suggested tildes method, I'm not sure what went wrong. Sorry, I'm still a bit newish to wikipedia, I'll see if I can fix it. (68.173.229.242 (talk) 18:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC))[reply]

ModNation Racers[edit]

Hi Alpphathon. Can you please fix "Sales" in the "ModNation Racers" article? I have some links to you; http://www.lazygamer.co.za/ps3/why-are-modnation-racers-sales-in-the-toilet/ and http://n4g.com/news/530884/modnation-racers-first-week-sales-are-very-low. I used them by myself, but you didn't like my English. So I hope you can fix it and edit it with a much better English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pandapower.1 (talk • contribs) 08:22, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genesis power base converter[edit]

Would you consider removing the background of this image? [6] What do you think??--SexyKick 00:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While we're at it, I guess we can do the one for the mice too. [7] That should cover all the images in the Mega Drive article, except the Genesis 1 HD Graphics model, but I believe the uploader of the image didn't want the background removed.--SexyKick 21:30, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I was having some problem with it. I forget exactly. You can make it however you like, but I wanted to try it out the way it is, to simply have the MD logos on one line, and the Genesis logo on another. Another reason was that they almost never used the right side of the logo (at least in any image that I can find.) So I thought it might be more accurate to just have the left part of the logo. It was more of an experiment than anything else. No worries on the mice either, I appreciate your thoughts!--SexyKick 22:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also think it's cute how the logo's are sort of as big as their countries market shares.--SexyKick 08:15, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if this is the correct way to answer... im new at this.[edit]

Re: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk%3AXbox I have *NO* Idea how to reply to your message as I have never done a "edit" before (or a submission).

I never thought it would be so hard (but thankful I guess) to edit incorrect information.

Your answer was fine, think I totally understood the directions? lol I tried my best.

Yes I know what British Standard Time is... but seeing that the information stated May 10th 2010 I only assumed (sorry) that information was provided that i lived on the west coast of North America (which I don't). I stated (and always have) I got removed on May 11th at 158am Eastern Standard Time (North America) but if you prefer seeing that this is a entry in England then should I state I was removed May 11th at 6:58am GMT (Zulu) (-/+ 0hr.)
