Speedy deletion of EA's Fiscal Year

A tag has been placed on EA's Fiscal Year requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Nsevs • Talk 23:13, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 16:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

One more thing, if you need any help, feel free to ask me on my talkpage. I could also adopt you. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 16:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Kingdom Hearts 3 article

Hi, I've left some comments regard Kingdom Hearts 3: The Keyblade Wars and how Wikipedia's guidelines and policies apply to it on the talk page. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC))

Adoption

Okay, I will adopt you. If you have any questions about editing, please feel free to ask! Also, please add new messages at the bottom of talk pages by clicking the + on the page. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 20:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

To change the name of an article, click the "move" button at the top of the page. That will give you some instructions and will ask what to rename the page. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 20:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

What page is it? Look again, it's next to "history." STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 20:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it is because you are a new user, so you cannot move just yet. What do you want it to be called? STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 20:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Partnership

if anyone ever wants to partner up to make a article...i'm in

DS PSP War

First off, thank you for taking the time out to create an article. As I mentioned on the talk page, it is a genuine format war, and has good grounds for an article to be created. However, the article as it stands, without wholesale changes, will probably end up being deleted.

The copy and paste of large sections of work, as the majority of the article is, goes against Wikipedia's policies, and would need to be re-written in someone's one words with a neutral POV, and references from a variety of refutable sources, not just one. There is also no need for a entire list of DS games in the article.

I would recommend requesting help at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games for an experienced editor to help you with the article. I can help with a few things here and there, but I don't have the time to make wholesale changes.

If you need any more help or information, please let me know. Thanks, --Eastlygod (talk) 13:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll also be happy to help you, I'm in the project also. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 13:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I would start off by finding more sources to back up the statements you make in the article. A good idea would be to look at High definition optical disc format war, a very good article detailing the history of the HDDVD/Blue-ray format war. As you can see from there, each statement is clearly referenced and sourced. Also, if the article was to be deleted, and you looked to create a improved version to re-insert, create the article is stages in your user area, until it is finished and ready to be added. You can get editors at the above Wikiproject to proof-read and correct any mistakes/changes before it is created. And again, the list of DS Games is not needed in this article. --Eastlygod (talk) 13:27, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of DS PSP War

An article that you have been involved in editing, DS PSP War, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DS PSP War. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 13:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Userpage

It looks great, but you need to take the box covers off due to Wikipedia's copyrighted images policy. (Don't worry, I made this mistake, too). I'm also going to try to save the DS vs. PSP article for you. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 13:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

You can't use any images that are copyrighted. If you click on the images, you will see a license at the bottom,. and if it isn't, you can use it anywhere. I would suggest not using any images from google. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 13:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

DS PSP War atcicle

You'll be glad to hear this: the page was moved not deleted, due to a spelling error in the title. The redirects were deleted, though. The article is now at Nintendo DS vs. PlayStation Portable console war. Also, thanks for the barnstar! STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 23:29, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Great job

		The Barnstar of Recovery
		For helping to save the article Nintendo DS vs. PlayStation Portable console war from deletion and improving it, I award you The Barnstar of Recovery. Good job! STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 23:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Halo Wars

Hi Kingrock. I noticed you've requested termination and speedy deletion of the Halo Wars article. Since it's a major upcoming game by an established and well-known studio, I don't think the article is going to be deleted. Joyous! | Talk 04:40, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

The Top Ten Weirdest Games of all time

A tag has been placed on The Top Ten Weirdest Games of all time, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material.

Guest9999 (talk) 19:03, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry I nominated the article with the wrong template (should have been criterion A3). The {{underconstruction}} tag was placed on the article after I put it up for speedy deletion, as it had no content an so was not a valid stub. Sorry for the trouble but next time it might be avoided if you add some content to an article when you create it. Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Sig

What do you want it to look like? I can write up a code for you as soon as I know. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 14:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, images are prohibited in signatures, but do you like this? : King Rock ^{Go 'Skins!}

If you like it, paste [[User:Kingrock| King]][[User talk:Kingrock| '''Rock''' ]] Go [[Washington Redskins|'Skins!]] into "signature" in "my preferences" and check "raw signature."

Firestar's Quest

What you might want to do is work on it in a user subpage (such as User:Kingrock/Firestar's Quest) so that you can work on it at your leisure without worrying about it getting deleted while you're in progress. Make sure to cite your sources and assert the book's notability. The previous AFD also noted that previous versions of the article have focused only on the plot; try to avoid that. (When was the book released, critics' commentary, and so on should be included.) Check back in with me when you've got a draft ready and I'd be happy to unprotect the page for you. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 00:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA for User:Stormtracker94

Has been moved here: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Stormtracker94 4 because it was in all upper-case. You will need to transclude once User:Stormtracker94 has accepted the nom. Let me know if there are any problems. Cheers. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 00:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

the reason why there is an extra 4 at the end is not a mistake

The correct name is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Stormtracker94_4 the reason why there's an extra 4 at the end is that it's the 4th request for adminship for him.

There's already http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Stormtracker94 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Stormtracker94_2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/Stormtracker94_3

so it needs the 4. See what I mean?:) special, random, Merkinsmum 02:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

ThunderClan

Please consider expanding Warriors (novel series) instead, as it is unlikely this fictional group will have any notability (WP:N) outside the novel. Don't forget WP:V, of course. The WP:Writing about fiction guide will also be useful. Marasmusine (talk) 14:31, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Warriors: ThunderClan

A tag has been placed on Warriors: ThunderClan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. SMS ^Talk 14:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The article only consisted of an external link. You can work on the information in your own user space, and if it appears to meet Wikipedia standards of notability, it can be moved back into the main article space. ... discospinster _talk 14:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The tag only says "Consider not tagging with a deletion tag unless the page hasn't been edited in several days." It is not against any rules to place a speedy delete tag on, or delete, an article that has the {{underconstruction}} tag on it. As I have said, you can work on the article in your own space (such as at User:Kingrock/Warriors: ThunderClan) until it is ready. ... discospinster _talk 14:48, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the note you left at the top of Warriors: Firestar's Quest

"because this book is based soley on my knowledge of what I have read"

Please see the policy on original research. You can't write articles based solely on your knowledge of the subject. Everything needs to be reliably sourced.

The Warriors ThunderClan is likely to be deleted (again) for the same reason. The original article was deleted after a deletion discussion. Continuing to recreate it using different titles isn't an acceptable way to get around that. --Onorem ♠Dil 16:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

discospinster's suggestion above that you consider preparing the article at User:Kingrock/Warriors: ThunderClan is a good one. Let people review it, and see that you've used proper sources, before moving it into article space. --Onorem ♠Dil 16:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

deletion of reposted material

I have deleted Prince of Persia: Ghosts of The Past. This is because there was previously a deletion discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prince of Persia: Ghosts of the Past), which resulted in delete and nothing substantial has changed since then. The main reason for the deletion was the lack of any real sources. If you believe that the article should not have been deleted please review wikipedia's policy on future events and explain your reasons at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thank you. Jon513 (talk) 22:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Writing about fiction

Hi Kingrock, I noticed you are working on Warriors ThunderClan still, and wondered if you have had chance to read WP:Writing about fiction. I think it will be useful for you. Marasmusine (talk) 00:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Warriors ThunderClan

Thanks for telling me about your creation of the Warriors ThunderClan article. I have merged in my own out of universe content and redirected the page to ThunderClan, where the content is now. Shrewpelt (talk) 01:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Long time no talk

I've been busy trying to balance life and Wikipedia.
I see you've joined the VG Project. Be sure to check out the talk page every now and then; there are always ongoing discussions about improving articles. Watching what others are doing is a great way to learn the ropes. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 14:23, 28 March 2008 (UTC))

Warriors: Firestar's Quest

Why did you say the article was badly written on the speedy deletion tag? The background section is for readers who are unfamiliar with the topic. Shrewpelt (talk) 21:18, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Tigerstar. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Metros (talk) 21:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Tigerstar

An editor has nominated Tigerstar, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tigerstar and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:00, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

The Dark Warriors

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article The Dark Warriors, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 22:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course not!

Of course I'm not trying to get you back! It's just that Tigerstar is in-universe, and articles about fiction on Wikipedia need to be out-of universe. It would be very helpful for you if you would read WP:Fiction. If you like, I could try and save Tigerstar from deletion, but I doubt it's possible. Sorry for any confusion! Shrewpelt (talk) 22:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

That's fine. Shrewpelt (talk) 22:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

On 31 March, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Warriors: Firestar's Quest, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
