Of course, you know, THIS MEANS WAR!!!!

The only reason I vandalized your page was to get your attention. More than 8 users have asserted the notability of the game, and that it does, in fact, actually meet Wikipedia guidelines, and you've ignored every single one. Sure, I wasn't exactly polite, but you weren't paying any attention. I had to get you to notice my point somehow. And, looking at your contributions, I think it's clear that you hate fangames. I don't want to impose an ultimatum, but your bigotry gives me no choice. If you continue to refuse to give Blaze and his allies [including me] any respect, I'll have no choice but to block you at every turn. --Luigifan 02:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestion on my page... what's that going to accomplish? You refuse to listen to him. If you're a bigot, I have to burst your bubble, because I have little tolerance for sin. As for the eruption on the AFD, yes, that was purely my fault. I let myself get riled up and explode, and it just made me look like a barbarian. >_< But deafening yourself to the opinion of others is inexcusable. If you continue to give Blaze a hard time, you are going to regret it. --Luigifan 02:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And, if you fail to see how rejecting Marioween makes you bigoted towards fangames... Marioween has got to be the greatest fangame of all time. If you believe that it isn't notable, then you just don't like fangames, period. And, please stop picking on Ashuku. Like I said, I really don't want to blacklist you, but if that's what I have to do to counter your single-mindedness, then I will take that measure. --Luigifan 02:28, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's begun. I've called in my most trusted friend, UnDeRsCoRe, to evaluate you. If I were you, I'd begin opening my mind to new ideas, right about NOW. --Luigifan 02:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This crisis isn't clearing. I'm through with games. It's time for the Ninja of Peace to step in. --Luigifan 02:52, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your case is beginning to weaken. It is time to seek reconciliation. --Luigifan 03:26, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Deletion

Hey there, I noticed you have added some WP:AfDs to Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games/Deletion recently. I just wanted to remind you to double check the UTC of the initial nomination when listing. Also, make sure to add the {{subst:CVG deletion}} tag on those pages that you do add to CVG Deletion page. Cheers! -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 02:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Attack

What I said was an expression. Not an attack. I'm protected by the first amendment in my right to say, "Fuck you". Which in itself, clearly isn't an attack, or even a threat. It it simply a statement. If I get banned from a website for something as trivial as expressing my right to free speech, then maybe I will have to do another thing wikipedia forbade. Using the words, "Legal Action" in a sentence towards a representative of the company.

So, I read the personal attack page you linked to, and yes, I see that it says, "No Profanity towards other contributors." But I wanted to get the point across that edit count means nothing. I apologize for that.

But, I might also add that you of all people (You with such a reputation here on wikipedia), should know that edit count means nothing. If I were as respected as you on a website such as this, I'd be ashamed of myself.

Judging someone on edit count. I mean, seriously. If I wouldn't get banned for it, I'd suggest for you to, "Get a Life", or, "Find a New Hobby". But such words are not allowed here on this website ran by people who forget about the first amendment, and I am forced to sit here and just shake my head.

I have a question though. Would you still have been an upstanding citizen if I said the same thing without the word, "Fuck"? Such as, "Screw you and your edit count"?

If you would have, the words, "Diamond mind" and, "Andrevan's Anus" Might have been in the same sentence together. --Ashuku 02:04, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but see. Everything I said above was in fact 'not and attack. It was all tongue-in-cheek, and references to things I would contemplate doing if you were to respond similarly to the way I had predicted.
And I obviously know that threatening legal action will get me banned, since I clearly said wikipedia forbade it.
As for me being a, "Sock Puppet"... I am merely a lurker of sort.--Ashuku 02:29, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Oh, I forgot one thing. Using edit count as a way to identify if someone is a sock-puppet or whatever isn't exactly a good method. It fails to take into consideration people like me. --Ashuku 02:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, well, one more thing. You never answered my question. Would I still have gotten warned if I didn't use the word, "Fuck"? --Ashuku 03:57, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay then. --Ashuku 05:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for another Toad Rumor citation

After I reverted the removal of the Toad rumor in the article for Super Smash Bros. Melee. you changed it back and asked me to provide another citation. Here it is: http://ssbm.detstar.com/toadrumor/

Thanks. RememberMe? 07:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questions + Note

You made the following AfD proposals today: Ark 22, Hover Tank 3D, Jumper, Metroid Prime 2D, and Squarez all which were created with the software Game Maker. First, I would like to note that if these articles are deleted or redirected as it appears they will be, you might as well recommend CfD for Category:Games made with Game Maker because the category will have only one entry remaining and though there are other enjoyable games created with the software, it is apparent that no one is eagerly creating articles for them or they would have been already (I say this knowing the software's fan base well as an active member for years of its primary forum). At least one of the games mentioned above was popular for several years in a row on the community site and shows up over 100,000 hits through Google. It and another have had popularity for the shorter times that they have been around almost equal to that of the only remaining game in the category. But then, I am largely looking at this from only the perspective of the official forum.

I am still trying to better-understand many choices made in the WP process, which brings up a question: what, in a nutshell, makes the remaining game in the category, Seiklus, an exception to the rest (or did you just miss it)? Is it Google hits plus age? Something more? I can only assume that you do not know very much about any of the games other than what you learned by the number of edits made here and a quick web search.

Thank you for reading and would appreciate a reply. -- CobraWiki 07:41, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The game article was probably bypassed due to the mention of another game within the article (Within a Deep Forest) which you also nominated AfD. Thank you for the explanation and your time. -- CobraWiki 03:44, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well then, if it was kept after AfD nomination, then I suppose I should tell the creator how lucky he is under these circumstances! -- CobraWiki 03:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Secret Maryo Chronicles on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Secret Maryo Chronicles. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.

A Link to the Past

I have reblocked him. There is a discussion going on about this block (with the blocked user included) on IRC presently, and aside from that, unblocking without first consulting the blocking admin invites wheel warring. --InShaneee 04:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion there appears to be stalling; I would be more than happy to discuss any concerns you have here. --InShaneee 04:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The posting of the RfC discussion (note for the record there is no such RfC at this time, he is currently trying to gather enough endorsments) innapropriately was trolling, as it was an attack on AMIB and a disruption of the CVG project. I said as much, but he persisted. Trolling and disruption are blockable offenses, as are the personal attacks/trolling he posted on his talk page afterwards. --InShaneee 04:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've now discussed this was a number of different admins; while there is some debate about the time he should have been blocked, there is little of whether a block was in fact necessary, and his current conduct on his talk page is doing little to help that sentiment. --InShaneee 05:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

It's not nice to correct other people's spelling in public places such as electoral statements. It's akin to a declaration the person is stupid. I'd like to you suggest you not do it anymore. It's a non-binding friendly suggestion. - crz crztalk 02:52, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dude: Yes, I am serious; I did assume good faith; and it was a friendly suggestion. I assume every good faith - I am just telling you others may be less magnanimous about it. That's all, just a tact tip. - crz crztalk 04:19, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. Suggestions are optional. If I am elected to the ArbCom, you will not be banned for correcting my spelling in public! (Ha. Ha. Ha...) - crz crztalk 05:10, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted Jumper? What kind of a moron are you?

While Jumper is not a fan game, it itself has plenty of fan games. Non-noteable? Who cares? Its a completely free game with tons of unlockables and features.

--- Next Person ---

How dumb can you be! Jumper has a whole community dedicated to it! How can you say it's just a fan game! You sir, are a moron!

Is your account compromised? Or were you just demonstrating admin powers or something? If it's the latter, don't do that again .. Cyde Weys 22:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks,

Thanks for the Message ;)


NS Zach34 03:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No thanks, I don't feel like signing in to fix a typo, and you should really assess whether you want to bother people with a clearly automated message for minor edits. It is offputting in the extreme.

Contesting FAR

You are going about this in the wrong way. Discussion is better than going around and reverting my actions. You consider that it was ended prematurely or perhaps is it that the result went against your thoughts?

The article was in FARC since November 9, that's 19 days. FARCs usually last 14 days. Since November 13 (maybe even before) there was no effort to adrress the concerns brought in the FAR. FARC is not a vote, therefore unaddressed concerns from the review are weighted against the article keeping its FA status. If you wish to contest this please do so at the FAR talk page.

Furthermore don't use the rollback function for edits that are not vandalism. Joelito (talk) 20:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a)We don't have to announce or advertise an article has moved to FARC. If people are interested they should have the review on their watchlist. Furthermore, only arguments not "votes" are counted when deciding consensus.
b)Maybe it wasn't fully dicussed but interested parties should have weighed in after a week of those comments being on the review. It appeared from the discussion some concers were not addressed.
c)The interested parties should remind people to continue participating on the review. Joelito (talk) 20:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I responded on Joel's talk page, to keep it in one place - I started out trying to restore the article count on Former Featured Articles (which was off), but am now trying to restore Joel's edits pending outcome, since reverting them creates a bookkeeping nightmare. If editors decide otherwise, then the changes can be made. Sandy (Talk) 20:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Video Games

Hi Andre - sorry I havent been putting screen shots in boxes and stuff, I only make edits when I find stuff on wikipedia that I know I can add to as I come across them and I just saw that it was on the list and was in red so I added it. I'll be more careful next time.
