I have a vision

I wanted to show you something, as long ago, we talked about FF wikiproject being all GA...well I came up with an all-featured topic project :) http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Judgesurreal777/Topic_Building#Final_Fantasy_topics It's built on three ideas;

• Cutting a few articles from our jurisdiction that aren't intimately Final Fantasy related
• Merging a bunch of articles that have no notability
• Creating a subproject at wikiproject video games to deal with the people who create video games, as they get no love from most video game wikiprojects
• Build up the remaining articles to GA status, and have everyone look at us in awe. Thoughts? My biggest issue will be to sell it to the others who remain at the project. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

User Ageslimit needs to be banned (again)

Hey. It seems that in the May of last year, you blocked this guy Ageslimit for a well-rounded dose of vandalism. Well he's back now, and spent Apr 19th spamming a good deal. And what's worse is that he's been using the edit comment box for advertising, which I don't think can be changed by normal users. Pls ban this guy, he sickens me and more than certainly deserves it. Thnx... Abhishekbh (talk) 07:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Reliable Source

Hello Deckiller. I've tracked you down because I need help. I know zero about Misplaced Pages's policies regarding reliable sources and have no desire spending hours shifting through pages of policies mumbo-jumbo to solve my problem. Basically, I'm wondering if the site "thelostworlds.net" would be a reliable citation for this page: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. I have no idea if it is or not and I just decided to bring it to an Admin. The Clawed One (talk) 18:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Supporting characters of Xenogears

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Supporting characters of Xenogears, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey

With all due respect Deck, I'm not a mind reader, and I didn't know it was your article, or that you wanted it redirected. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit request

Hello, I am contacting you because you're a member of the League of Copyeditors. Would you be interested in taking a look at Highlander: The Series (season 1) which is currently a Featured List Candidate ? The quality of the prose is the only remaining objection to its promotion and I would really appreciate your help. Have a nice day, Rosenknospe (talk) 12:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bobs stores.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bobs stores.gif. You've indicated that the image meets Misplaced Pages's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 09:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Deckiller/music <Idle chatter>-2008-05-26T04:33:00.000Z">

Hi,

<Idle chatter>. I accidentally found User:Deckiller/music and was very happy to see Neil Peart and Bill Bruford on the drummers list. I'd also agree with Geddy Lee as a bassist, but Alex Lifeson is not a standout as are his bandmates... I'd argue with your over-rated bands, adding Journey (who held the record for decades) but the #1 all-time most over-rated, (recently surpassing Journey) would be Nirvana. I'd remove Led Zeppelin, since of course they are easily the best band ever. :-) As for under-rated bands, you forgot Queen. The Police are not under-rated; they were extremely big in their day and, I suspect, still garner respect... Friends of mine have mentioned Djam Karet in this context, but I have never heard their stuff.</Idle chatter> Ling.Nut (talk) 04:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)"> ">

Hi Tyler—Just surveying monthly diffs for the update, and noticed massive movement at . I wonder whether you could bullet for me the main substantive changes in the criteria. Also, I can't find the page to view the history of the instructions. TONY (talk) 13:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

you

I hope you're not still burning the study/work candle at both ends! It sounded frenetic. TONY (talk) 17:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Reporting for duty

I am cautiously optimistic; the notability debate seems to have isolated those who want to include things that do not have at least moderate amounts of real world information, I see movements within several wikiprojects, from the video game one to the 24 project to trim back plot summary articles and add real world information. And though their continue to be areas that we haven't reached yet (Warhammer 40,000 as an example), and we obviously have an ever growing number of articles, the quality keeps getting better. And I agree with you that the Final Fantasy Wikiproject is a model for the successful implementation of a high bar for notability and an example of how amazing fictional coverage can be. Those are my current thoughts. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. Another user has noted some concerns with the prose in this FAC I submitted and he recommended I ask that you point me towards someone who can give the article a good copy-edit. Know anyone? I'd appreciate it! —Zeagler (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

word power

Good man. You have an uncanny ability to pick up wasted words—ones that I don't see, anyway. Before we know it, you'll be teaching business writing. Now I'm off to deal with flack at MOS talk about my new tutorial on hyphens and dashes. I can see trouble from Anderson at a distance (he just doesn't believe in insisting on proper dash usage).

Just noticed that you changed your page from "19" to "20," so happy birthday. hbdragon88 (talk) 03:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Huh. You changed it back in May and I just noticed now...I thought you had changed it more recently. Cheers to 20 though, I'll be turning 20 in about four weeks. hbdragon88 (talk) 04:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit

Hi, at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Midtown Madness Tony suggested I get in touch with the VG prose guru to give Midtown Madness a final touch up. If you have the time, could you please take a look at it? Thanks heaps in advance. —Giggy 03:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

I left a note at the bottom of Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Hurricane Vince (2005); considering ungrammatical recent changes, concerned that you should check prose changes made since you were through days ago. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Checking the history, I see you were last through on the 7th; there have been a lot of changes since then, and since it's a short article, I hope you'll have time to do some cleanup. I got lost in some sentences with multiple clauses. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Literature in the Hoysala Empire

Hi Deckiller, how are you. Sandy Georgia forwarded your name to me when I was looking out for experienced copy editors to help me. The above article has gone through a thorough PR (Ruhrfish, Redtigerxyz), Mos check (Epbr123), image clearence (ЭLСОВВОLД) and general copy edits (Michael Devore). I need one solid round of copy edits to cap it all. I hope you are free to help me, something I would really appreciate. thanks, Dineshkannambadi (talk) 20:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi

My name on Misplaced Pages is Master&Expert. I'm somewhat new here. Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you knew of anywhere that I can make a new article related to video games. :) Master&Expert (talk) 01:59, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

short ce help needed

Don't know if you're active right now, but Tony suggested to buzz you for a quick massaging of the short article Crush (video game) as part of its FAC. It's nowhere near as difficult as TWEWY (its only 1500 words short), and I've worked out the text before, but just need a quick check on that. --MASEM 13:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Final Fantasy VIII

My pleasure! I wish I had more time to work on it; I've basically only been copyediting here and there when I notice something, usually just stuff that's near other edits when it pops up in my watchlist. I still haven't gotten around to sitting down and actually going through the whole article, so for now all I've been able to do are little things. Anyway, glad I could help! —Politizer 00:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Deckiller. If you are free, can you copy edit this article. It is currently in PR and I dont expect many changes. SandyGeorgia referred me to you, some time back. Thanks,Dineshkannambadi (talk) 00:46, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

CE request - but no rush!

I'm being preemptive here; I'm working Ico through the ranks, currently sitting at as a GAN, and Guyinblack has already done a passthrough. Since I know that someone will say something about copyediting once it gets to FAC, I'm being preemptive and seeing if you can get a look at this. Since its only at GAN, I don't need it in a rush, but I will wait if it does get to GA until you can complete it (if you can do it) before taking to FAC. Let me know if you think you can do it, otherwise I'll check with another ce-editor. Thanks. --MASEM 16:22, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for Section restores

Hey Deckiller
Just wanted to say thanks for restore of sections (Voyager:In The Flesh) to be specific. I'm amazed that you went to so much trouble to track down the particular article. Guess now I have to hold up my end and try to improve it ;). I've read so much of the fighting and nonsense here at Misplaced Pages, it's really nice when I see that "Guardian Angel" work that admins (and other editors too) do here. I'm just a (relatively) new editor getting his feet wet, and wanted to express my appreciation for all the "behind the scenes" work. Thanks again. Ched (talk) 18:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
