Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Hello Ariamaki, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alphax τεχ 09:21, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Tokiya_moon.jpg[edit]

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Tokiya_moon.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Fritz S.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Kougan Anki.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Kougan Anki.jpg. 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 06:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Madōgu[edit]

I have nominated Madōgu, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Madōgu. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference[edit]

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:24, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2014[edit]

Information icon Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Hashima Island, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. DAJF (talk) 23:26, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Water, Gas and Electricity[edit]

Hi Ariamaki,

My apologies for an unclear edit summary. When I reverted the (at the time) two edits, yours being the second, my statement about vandalism was directed only at the first edit and not yours, and I failed to make that clear. Again, my apologies. The reason I didn't just let yours stand was that in your attempt to fix the problem you left a somewhat tortured explanation. Your recent edit has improved this, but I still have a concern. In calling this loosening of the conditions a variant of the puzzle you are giving it more legitimacy than it deserves. As far as I can tell, this form of "solution" of the problem has popped up on a couple of blogs, but I have never seen the statement of the problem modified to permit this subterfuge as a solution, which would be the case if this were a true variant. If you have information to the contrary, I would be interested in seeing it. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 19:21, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

BROTTR citation-needed revert[edit]

Re this revert: According to the source cited at the end of that paragraph, Big Rigs is regarded by Gamespot (or rather, by an individual writing for the website) to be one of the worst games of all time. How does that support the claim of being “widely regarded” one of the worst of all time? Unless I missed it, the writer never made such a claim. Even if we cited multiple sources that each called it the worst, it’d be synthesis; we need a source which itself makes such a broad claim.

Or we could change it to read: “As a result, Gamespot considers the game to be one of the worst video games of all time.[1]” That would match the source. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 20:57, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually… never mind. Sorry. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 14:35, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
