Image Tagging for Image:Atea.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Atea.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

License tagging for Image:Kyadarklineagesign.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kyadarklineagesign.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

RE: BG&E article

Someone on my discussion page said, " BRKL is a liar , backstabing moron he deleted a link to go to a place that was about saving certain video games and tv shows and said there was nothing about beyond good and evil and thats a lie there is something about it there

It's a random forum with two members and a BG&E section with less than ten posts. Hardly relevant for the article. Since you seem to be one of the two sole members, it's pretty clear you posted the link here to advertize the forum. I don't appreciate the insults. -- Brkl 18:47, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hotspot: well i have no idea why someone would do that , probabally some crazed fanboy you shouldn't worry about what that person typed.

RE: grand theft auto vice city and vice city stories soundtrack,k-chat in trivia

As I mentioned in the edit summery, I removed your edit for the same reason it was removed from the VCS soundtrack page (it wasn't me who removed it from there, by the way). Dbam 21:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC) okay i understand-Hotspot[reply]

Just to clarify, there wasn't anything particularly wrong with what you wrote, but it was a point that is already made in the actual k-chat section, that's all. Dbam 21:32, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oh okay, thanks for telling me i did not know that, it's a good thing you told me becuase the other person that got rid of the section i talked about is not a nice person and just deletes mine and anyone else'e questions on the persons user talk page.-Hotspot

Your re-adding of unsuitable links to Kya: Dark Lineage

The link to <blacklist> was removed from the external links section because it is a link to a forum, and as such it is not suitable for inclusion per Wikipedia:External links guidelines. I already included a link to these guidelines in the edit sumary, but apparently you didn't notice it, so for your convenience the relevant guideline (listed under Links normally to be avoided) states;

"In addition to the restrictions on linking, and except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or is an official page of the subject of the article, one should avoid: #10. Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums or USENET."

Also, since you are clearly involved with the aforementioned forum, adding a link to it on Wikipedia is considered linkspamming, so you might find the following useful;

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 172.200.97.52 172.188.100.135 00:27, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i have to dissagree with what you are saying, i mean sure you shouldn't put spammed links on wikipedia but it's not, there is a kya board in the front it says kya dark lineage and inside it has information,questions,polls,ideas,pictures,fan art that are all related to kya dark lineage, i did not put that link there as spam and didn't intend to(i made the article why would I?!) and sure the forum is not fully about kdl but people will just want to talk about kya dark lineage and nothing else.

I'm backing up the IP on this one. The forum link clearly falls under WP:EL. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 02:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue spamming you will be blocked from editing. This link can never be appropriate on Wikipedia; it's a link to a forum, which is forbidden under WP:EL. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 02:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oh my gosh you you you..... i made the article and i love kya dark lineage i am not going to spam on a dang article that i made !!!!!!!! i put the link there so people that don't like or don't know what kya dark lineage is will start to like the game i don't see why you have to say that it's spam it's not!!! it even says in the external link thingy that the link has to have information about the article and it does when in the world are you going to gert it in your head?!!!!!!!

It also says in 'the external link thingy' that forums are not allowed. Go to WP:EL, look under the 'Links normally to be avoided' section, and read #10. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 03:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please stop adding that petition link to the 'external links' section. It does not have a symmetric relationship with the game (see WP:EL). If you continue to add irrelevant external links, you may be blocked. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 17:37, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

thats not fair the petition is for a kya dark lineage 2 if that petition link doesn't stay in the article no onw will sign it and then there will never be a kdl 2 do you even like kya dark lieage?!

yeah i agree with hotspot about the petition. 69.113.232.143

Your opinion has been noted. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 20:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 20:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

well it's obvious now you don't like kya dark lineage, but i do and i care about it but if you want to be a jerk than fine hotspot

Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 20:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what are you talkng about? what opinion i never said anything that was an opinion except for petitions .hotspot

If you're talking about my 'Your opinion has been noted.' comment, that was to the IP. Or are you that IP? If you're talking about my 'no personal attacks' comment, that was about the bit where you called me a moron. Also, please stop modifying the warnings I put on here.

The picture is useful so that admins can pick out final warnings to make sure they exist before blocking users (I think). If it scares you... well, then, I don't know what to do. Veinor (ヴエノル^(talk)) 20:38, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

kya dark lineage

i love the video game kya dark lineage and so do other people, althought there are alot of people who don't like the game ( i think they are crazy to not like kdl) i wish and hope that they have a kya 2 and becuase i want there to be a kya 2 kya dark lineage is one of the reasons why i made the forum board( it's a forum that tries to save a tv show or video game that is not continuing) i just hope there is another, and i am happy to see that at other places on the internet that people are seeing kya clips and pictures and want and or will get the game and hopefully like it, if this keeps happening the creators might change their mind and make a sequel.

about the kya dark lineage article. i am going to expand the article like a list of kya dark lineage characters a seperate article for the characters and worlds and items it'll be awsome but first i need pictures, on some of my free time i will play the game and get pictures of what i need to make the new articles.-hotspot

Death (disambiguation)

Sorry for confusing you about the entry for the Malice character on the Death (disambiguation) page. My helpful tip to you for the future would be to check the revision history or diff before changing something that has just been removed or moved. In this case, looking at the Death (disambiguation) history would tell you that I was the last person to make a change after you. You then could have clicked on the diff labeled "last" beside my revision, and seen the exact changes I made. You can read more at Help:Page history if you're curious. I hope this helps your contributions in the future. Salutations, Nihiltres 03:04, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suikoden and External Links

i know what your going to say but its the best place to get suiko information it's better than wikipedia's suikoden information. -- hotspot (from this edit summary)

I thought I'd reply here. I know that wikipedia tells you to ignore all rules if they get in the way of improving Wikipedia (WP:IAR). I think that WP:EL (which is a guideline) is meant to prevent too many external links from Wikipedia, and specifically to promote official/authoritative ones. How does suikosource fit into this? It's not an official site. If it has better information, I'm not sure that matters in whether it should be added, since Wikipedia is far from complete in many subjects. --GargoyleMT 04:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GTA radio station edits

Good hello. Sorry my response is so tardy. This is the bit I think you are refering to: "K-Chat does not appear in Grand theft auto vice sity stories,this is probabally becuase K-Chat might not have been created at the time of Grand theft auto vice sity stories,and was later created before right grand theft auto vice city." If this is the edit to which you refer, I removed it as it was unsourced speculation and original research, also because it was used to start a trivia section. Trivia sections have no place in the encyclopedia per WP:AVTRIV. If you have a source for this info, then please add it back to the article using the proper inline ref tags to cite your source.

Vote on Commons POTY

Hello. Thank you for your interest in the 2006 Picture of the Year contest. To vote, you must be an established Wiki editor with at least 100 edits registered either on your Commons or on your home wiki account (eg on one of the Wikipedia sites). You don't have 100 edits on your Commons account, but if you do on your home wiki, please add a diff pointing to a statement on your home wiki talk page which confirms your identity. For example: [http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ABryan_Tong_Minh&diff=103243817&oldid=100712171 diff] which appears as diff. You should add this diff on the same line as your vote, at Commons:Picture of the Year/2006/Voting phase 1. Thank you! If you have any questions, you can ask at Commons talk:Picture of the Year/2006.

You have not provided a proper diff, I'm afraid. Please ask if you need help. --MichaelMaggs 07:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use image use

Greetings! You removed Orphaned Fair Use tags from Image:Kya screen.PNG, Image:Suikoden-prince.gif, and Image:Tumbleweed5b15d3kr.gif despite these images being tagged with license tags that restrict their use to fair use here on Wikipedia. These images have been properly tagged as fair use images as the original authors of the art work retain rights to the images. As fair use images, they must be used in a main namespace article, the actual encyclopedia, or they are considered "orphaned". Under our policies here as outlined at Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Images.2FMedia item #5, orphaned fair use images are subject to deletion. The use in templates or userpages does not remove their status as orphaned images, nor in fact can they even be used outside of the main article namespace per our policies at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. Thus, I am removing them from the userboxes where you placed them, again. Please do not remove orphaned fair use tags from fair use images which are not used in the main article namespace, and please do not use fair use images outside of the main article namespace.

Also, re your edit summary at [1]: If a creator puts an image on a webpage somewhere, it does not mean they have released their rights to it. They must explicitly release their rights under terms of a free license in order for use to conclude their rights have been released. Just having an image on a website somewhere does not fulfill this requirement. If you have direct evidence that the creators of these images have specifically released their rights to these images under terms of a free license, please by all means provide that evidence and we can update the tags on these images to free license tags. Failing that, they must remain tagged as fair use images and must be handled as I described above.

If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 14:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is so ridiculous and annoying!!!-hotspot

Finding it ridiculous and annoying is not a reason to go against our policies, by removing orphaned fair use images as you just did here and here. It is also not a reason to place these images back onto templates in direct violation of our policies as you did here and here.
I have informed you of the proper way to go about handling this. I have informed you of the policies regarding this. These policies have been established by the Wikimedia Foundation because copyright must be taken seriously in order for this site to survive. I am hereby giving you a final warning. If you continue to willfully violate our policies, you will be temporarily blocked from editing. If you have questions about these policies or want to discuss how best to proceed, I am very happy to help you and remain at your disposal. However, these violations are not acceptable. Thank you, --Durin 15:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your removal of the orphaned fair use tag on Image:Kya screen.PNG is, at least, temporarily appropriate given that the image now appears in List of worlds in Kya: Dark Lineage. However, there is a very large overuse of fair use images in that article. Standard practice at Wikipedia has been that such overuse is not warranted or wanted, and is usually very significantly reduced. If the image remains on the page after this reduction happens, then indeed the image is not orphaned and can remain undeleted. But, please keep in mind that a non-orphaned fair use image does not grant permission for that image to be used outside of the main article namespace. Fair use images are simply not allowed to be used outside of the actual encyclopedia (such as at Wikipedia:Emoticons, where you placed the smiley image). Hoping to help you, --Durin 16:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But that isn't fair the picture is totally okay and i just learned how to make userboxes its soo unfair your being a mean jerk!and without pictures the userboxes are boring and useless, i dont mind getting rid of the smiley and maybe the prince but the kya picture is totally fine where it is.-hotspot

I'm sorry that you feel that requesting you respect and follow our policies here constitutes being a "mean jerk". Our policies are put in place here for a variety of reasons, not least of which is protecting us against lawsuits filed against Wikimedia over copyright violations. We take this seriously. That's why the policy is written the way it is. If you are interested in having this policy overturned, I can aid you in showing you where to bring this matter up. However, we can't have our contributing community willfully violate the copyrighted image policies as a means of gauging community opposition to the policy. Thank you. --Durin 19:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use in articles

Our policies on fair use in articles also restrict us to use fair use images in ways that contribute significantly to the article. The outcome of this policy has been that galleries of fair use images are not permitted. Thus, your addition of Image:Tumbleweed5b15d3kr.gif to Smiley for example is not permitted. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #8. If you have questions about these uses, please feel free to ask me. I'm happy to help. --Durin 15:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for willful violation of our fair use policy

I have blocked you for willfully violating our fair use policy in placing Image:Kya screen.PNG on User:Hotspot/userbox/kyadarklineage. I have taken every measure to inform you of our policies on these matters and to offer assistance to you to help avoid this problem. Despite this, you have decided to willfully violate these policies and ignore my assistance. Since it is apparent that you refuse to adhere to our policies on this matter, I am applying a short temporary block of one hour to your editing privileges. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. As a contributor here, you need to take this seriously as well. I remain at your disposal for assistance in this matter. However, and restating above, continuing to willfully violate our policies in unacceptable. If, after the block expires, you return to this editing behavior, you will be blocked longer. Please, edit productively not in violation of our policies. Thank you, --Durin 19:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i did the kya thing before i read what you said-hotspot

i think your doing something like this, you got rid of the smiley on the smiley page even though it was a smiley! and even though the one picture in kya dark lineage is apart of the userbox i put it on the list of worlds in kya dark lineage( i made the article) it is a true picture and fact -hotspot

I removed the smiley image because of our policies on the use of fair use images. Quoting Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #8, "The material must contribute significantly to the article". Putting another smiley on the page when there are plenty of other free license smileys on the page does nothing to contribute significantly to the article. Thus, it is a violation of our policies and was removed. I did not remove the kya image from the article it was placed on. I think there's far, far too many fair use images on that article, but I did not remove it. I did remove it from the userbox you repeatedly placed it on because this is a clear violation of our policies. --Durin 21:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another block

Once again, you have willfully violated our policies on fair use image use [2]. I'm at a loss as to understand why you continue to do this. I am blocking you now for 24 hours. If, after the block expires, you insist on willfully violating our policies the next block will be even longer. Please, we welcome your positive contributions here but willfully violating our policies is completely unacceptable. --Durin 21:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

that isnt fair that is a normal picture from an article, i hate you your mean, fine you want to be a jerk than fine all i wanted to do was make a cool userbox for the vide games that i like that don't have userboxes, but you have to be a jerk.. i wont make anymore userboxes ever again because of your meaness, just please stop talking on my article page goodbye you meany, i guess you just want to pick on me about userboxes if you didn't want me to make a userbox you couldve said it, one of my dreams on wikipedia was to make a userbox thanks for crushing it!!!!! oh and why in the wold is it a day now first an hour now a day!!?? thats soo wrong, you know, and now i found a mistake on an article that i made and i cannot fix it becuase of you!-hotspot

I have no desire to stop you from making userboxes. I do have a desire that you adhere to our policies. Our policies do not prevent you from making userboxes.

Regarding the Kya: Dark Lineage article...

I really enjoyed the game, and I'm glad to see someone's taken the initiative in getting it up and running. Once I'm finished with getting the Devil May Cry 2 article up to GA-class, I was wondering if you'd like my help in doing the same for the Kya: Dark Lineage article? Cheers, Lankybugger 13:55, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes i have enjoyed the game too, and i am the one that created the kya dark lineage articles i was waiting for a kya fan like you to help me fix up the article as best as it can be! i made a kya dark lineage userbox d oyou want to put it on your user page?

This user is a fan of Kya: Dark Lineage.

I currently haven't made much progress on the DMC2 article lately, unfortunately. However, I've set aside a few hours on Sunday in which to sit down and mow through the rest of my to-do list, so I should be able to start working on the Kya article seriously beginning on Sunday evening or on Monday. Cheers, Lankybugger 13:12, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Kya article...

What is your suggestion on how to incorporate the Trivia, as per the merge tag you've got on the page?

Here's the Trivia which I removed last night:

The game was originally to have a sequel, but due to the poor ratings, the idea was scraped.

This one would require citation of specific facts to prove that Eden Games actually began production of a sequel, or an interview in which someone from the developer (Eden Games) or publisher (Atari) explicitly stated "We were going to make a sequel, but the game had bad sales so we decided not to do so." While the ending of the game leaves it open to a sequel, it's just as likely that Atari asked Eden Games to keep the ending open for a sequel in case the game became a smash hit.

Kya is the only female in the entire game, excluding some of the monsters you fight.

This one is unprovable. We don't know if the Nativs even have two genders, or if any of the Nativs in the streets of Nativ city are female. It could perhaps be stated that Kya is the only significant female character, I suppose.

Because there are no females in the game (besides Kya), it is unknown how Nativs reproduce (if possible), unless the female nativs are hidden or are in an alternate town.

See above.

In nativ city there are only two nativs that walk around on each floor, besides the main character nativs and nativs in shops or the nativs that are building shops.

This might be better addressed in the Gameplay section. No doubt the finished article will need to address the fact that converting the Wolfen back into Nativs is a significant portion of the game's advancement, so this could probably go there.

Kya has to free 260 wolfen.
There are 260 wolfen that Kya can turn back into wolfen and yet you only meet around 20 or less nativs in nativ city, in the entire game.

See above.

Kya dark lineage has two endings one ending can be obtained when Kya rescues all of the nativs and the other is when Kya does not rescue all of the nativs. The counter seems to be glitch-prone, however, as there are instances where the "260" ending has been shown while there are still wolfen left--and vice-versa. The proper "ending" with less than 260 is merely a black screen with white text asking "THE END?", while the "260" ending is a cliffhanger taking place in a rather desolate, grey place populated by at least one creature of a seemingly hostile and/or predatory nature.

As you can see in the plot summary, I've addressed this by including the bleak ending as part of the core plot. The fact that you don't see this portion of the game can, again, be addressed in the Gameplay section on the Wolfen.

In the anime Naruto, the character called Tenten is a weapons expert. In episode 43, Tenten takes out a scroll full of weapons and shoots an array of different weapons at an enemy. Two of the weapons resemble Kya's boomy, except they were both metal and one did not have a handle.

This is coincidental. The insane number of weapons Tenten uses (as well as the variety of them) means that the weapons mentioned couldn't possibly be like that on purpose. Additionally, the release schedule makes it likely that it's just random coincidence... Which means it might be good fodder for a fan site, but not for this article.

Additionally I gather from the Merge tags that you want the characters section back, which I understand in theory. However, couldn't the Plot summary simply be expanded to include relevant character information?

For example, the current plot section could be expanded as follows:

"Kya awakens with three strange creatures around her and is chased through a jungle by feral creatures called the Wolfen while following several animal-like humanoids, all of whom get captured except for Aton, a brash white-haired Nativ who displays an immediate dislike for Kya."

I only mention this because we don't really know much about the characters in the game. Frank is unconscious or captured most of the time, Atea, Aton, Akasa, and other Nativs reveal little information about themselves and instead just serve to advance the plot. It's enough to know that Aton is a white-haired Nativ who doesn't really think Kya is worthy of the power she's been given by Atea and Akasa. Likewise it's enough to know that Atea is the village chief and Akasa is a trainer. Cheers, Lankybugger 13:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do have references for trivia i just dont know how to do a reference, we can still add some of the trivia things, my description for the characters is alittle bit different then the description of the story and of what you just said i can add that to make it better but i will do that later, also most articles about a video game or tv show include a character section somewhere even if they tell about a character in the story, i didnt know you were a fan of naruto^^| although i highly doubt the naruto makers even know what kya dark lineage is, i was pointing that out is more of something interesting to know -hotspot

Yeah, I'm a big Naruto fan. Anyway, no need to worry about the references. Post the links here and I'll check 'em out and see if they verify according to Wikipedia policy.

And while I agree that a characters section could be done, most FA-Class articles feature the characters sections written in prose, if they're featured at all. For example Shadow of the Colossus, Abe's Oddysee, Goemon feature the characters being described in prose, while the Majora's Mask, Doom, and Wind Waker articles feature no individual character sections at all.

Help locking an article

this article Third Hokage, Forever... keeps getting vandalised because of something that happend to the episode while airing on a channel, someone suggested to lock it, i put a lock tag on it but apparently it doesn't work, i believe only administrators can lock articles, could you lock it so that only registered users can edit it?-hotspot

Well, not only for the articles you're working on (a "sandbox"), but older talk messages, e.g., "talk archives" like you see on my talk page near the top. To create a user subpage, you just link to it (say you want a user talk archive, so you link to User talk:Hotspot/Archive 1) and then edit it.

There are a couple templates that are useful in this; I use {{archivebox}} to list the archives in a neat box near the top of my userpage, and I use {{talkarchive}} and {{archivenav}} at the top of each archive. —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 07:46, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dog god.JPG)

Thanks for uploading File:Dog god.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Sorry so late in saying welcome!

I am really glad that you added the Article rescue squadron template to your user page.

I see that the bots are attempting to delete your photos in force, sigh...that is why I never download a photo anymore.

Please take a minute to sign your name to our list of 270+ members:

Good news, we are building our first newsletter and should sent out this weekend, keep an eye out for it!

And a warm welcome to the squadron!

Articles tagged for deletion and rescue
Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found

Hi, Hotspot, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

Some points that may be helpful:
Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification. Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages. The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion. Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves. Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome! Ikip (talk) 20:08, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Millane Kang

The article Millane Kang has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable voice actor. Single IMDB credit, no independent sources proving notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Exxolon (talk) 09:29, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Millane Kang

If you object to the Proposed Deletion - just remove the template - "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason. However please explain why you object to the deletion, either in your edit summary or on the talk page." - however I may choose to go through WP:AFD instead as there is no proof of notability or independent sources on the article.

Disambiguation link notification for July 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Matthew Géczy, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page XIII. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:02, 11 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
