Hi, I'm sorry to be a spoil sport, but I nominated this for deletion. Sorry. --Rob 03:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Think nothing of it, I wondered if it was notable enough and decided that there's only one way to find out. --Kizor 09:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Mega Man Zero

I'm planning on readding and possibly expanding this since the current MMZ articles only describe the parts of the setting relevant to them; none give an overview of the setting. For obvious reasons I'd like to ask if you think we should have an overview, and what could be done to improve this one. Also, do you have a clear idea of why Neo Arcadia genocided Reploids? It's clear that the Maverick Virus is destroyed, but there are references to both paranoia about Mavericks and the Reploids' consumption of energy in a time of dire scarcity. Perhaps both.

On the offchance that you haven't thought of this: The Four Generals seem to be a body of special Reploids entrusted with hunting down and destroying Mavericks, and that sounds awfully familiar... --Kizor 01:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

The article already seems to be more than efficent in explaining the game's premise, so I think an overview is unessary. About the four generals, I don't understand your query, because we made full articles on each of them awhile ago. Also the game has not stated that Zero's virus is gone, so we can't make assumptions. Thanks for your input, though. -MegamanZero|Talk 03:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Premise, yes: Zero's been sleeping, Neo Arcadia is evil and the Resistance is not, zap slash boom bang. There's little about the blasted state of the world, the defeat of the Maverick Virus (you're right that we don't know it's no more, but it's clearly history, over with, not a factor (until further notice)), or the like. The mention of the Four Generals wasn't a query, just a piece of unfounded speculation that I found cool: Could they be the remnant or corruption of the Maverick Hunters? --Kizor 12:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Personally, I think the article is fine the way it is. It explains quite enough on its own, and the various articles across the games even furthur the information capacity. About your speculation regarding the Four Generals, They can't be considered remnants of the Maverick hunters in the strictest sense (since they were made from X's design and weren't around in the time of the Maverick hunters), but they are remanents of the Maverick hunters in the spritual sense, as they act, carry out and perform their duties in the same way the Maverick Hunters did. I also speculate that Neo Arcadia evoloved from the Maverick Hunters , as the Repliforce war and Neo Arcadia's regime both are very similar situations. Depends on how you look at it, I suppose (I tend to overanalyze things)....-MegamanZero|Talk 12:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Eye color in Finland

I noticed your edit, and I agree. I don't believe any nation has blue eye color in the 90th percentile, in fact, I recall reading (I'm trying to figure out where) that no country went over (or much over) 50 percent blue eyes. I seem to recall that brown eyes were the actual 'majority' everywhere. I think the correct percentage is around 37-42.

Running candidate template

Hi. I've reverted your edit and it would be polite for me to explain. The template was intended to be - and as far as I can tell, has - used to caution, not just to state that the politician in question is taking part in an election. There's just not much point in the latter, since it's not something that should be taken into account when reading the article and is clear from the text itself. --Kizor 21:20, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I still don't agree with the wording though: "This article about a candidate in the upcoming 2006 Finnish presidental election may draw controversy and partisanship." seems to imply that the article itself (or the article being about a candidate) is going to draw controversy and partisanship, which is hopefully inaccurate if the article is written with WP:NPOV in mind. Frankly I don't like any templates which say stuff like, "This article may attract vandalism", as that only tends to encourage it. I think saying, "This article is about a candidate in the upcoming XXXXX election" is enough. People know elections can be contentious and saying it may draw controversy/partisanship is unnecessary. If the article itself is not up to snuff then tag it with {{npov}}. --Cyde Weys 22:27, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

GMC

Saw your note on Talk:General Medical Council. I hope you realise that you were looking at a press release from the vandals, not a newspaper article. JFW | T@lk 22:41, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes. That looks like an online article that largely, but not entirely, consists of the press release. I blame the demons of stupidity if I'm wrong. --Kizor 23:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out though. They are advertising an older version of the page that contained libelous allegations. I've given the history a deep clean and protected the page until these ***** go mind their own business. JFW | T@lk 23:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, just to warn you, http://www.emediawire.com/ is a press release site. JFW | T@lk 23:21, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Iverson

Cheers on the re-wikifying the Allen Iverson article, mate! It wasn't the first time someone removed all the Wiki links without giving explanation. I was too tired to revert it the third time. Aree 11:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Just thought you might be interested in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Battle of Hogwarts (2nd nomination) because you participated in the first vote. Savidan 21:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Ugh. That's the largest nominator's argument I've ever seen. I don't have a case, but you're right in that it does interest me, thanks. --Kizor 23:16, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about the long nomination. Savidan 00:24, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Oh. Right. That was you. *Cough* No reason to apologize, though, explaining one's grievances well is a good thing. What gets me about it isn't the length but that I've invested significant time and effort in the article, received a barnstar as well, but in all fairness can't argue against it. --Kizor 02:13, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Consider moving the content to Muggles’ Guide to Harry Potter or the Harry Potter Wiki. I didn't mean to disrespect your hard work. I just don't think it belongs on wikipedia. Savidan 06:05, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Stop apologizing, would you? :-) I didn't think you were disrespectful and have already agreed to your reasoning. Thanks for the links too, that hadn't occured to me. --Kizor 11:31, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Shadow Mountain

Oh thank you for this edit. It made my night.  :) Monkeyman 02:44, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

That's just my way of keeping myself from going mad(der) when fighting large amounts of vandalism. Thanks. --Kizor 08:02, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Abu Ghraib

Just wondering if you were able to find any more pictures. I know that there are more out there, but I'm not sure where they are. SBS supposedly ran "about sixty" more, but wikimedia commons doesn't reflect that. --Descendall 21:06, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Kekkonen's opposition to 1940 peace treaty

is it true that Kekkonen was the only MP to vote against? I changed the article but i'm not enirely sure. Constanz - Talk 17:46, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kizor Nice to meet you.

Hi Kizor I didn't knew I was accidently submiting copyright on Magic Carpet Plus for the manual. Oop's I am sorry. :o Thank's for informing me. I have fixed it. Knew I just have to figure out how to delete the work I submited. And delete the things I submited. heheh well no worry it was a learning experiece anyways. Thanks for informing me Kizor. Nice meeting you. :) Thanks for showing me this http://www.replacementdocs.com I will look into it. Cool.

magic carpet

I was unaware of the images and copyright issues, I merely saw an article that appeared to be almost completely blanked by it's author. I'll look into it. — Mar. 1, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

Done . — Mar. 1, '06 <freakofnur_xture|talk>

:)

ShockFire: Yeah I did have content on that page but Kizor said I accidently put up copyright stuff. I didn't knew it was copyright. So I deleted the part's that I could. Not realizing I couldn't completely delete my page that was in violation of copyright. It is no problem freakofnurture. I am sorry I made you upset.

Myomer

Hi, thanks for copyediting—the article does look saner now. Nevertheless, I think that in its current form it is mostly a sink. The only real article that links there is the one on BattleTech technology, where I think the information in myomer belongs anyway, so I have asked for a merge. I’m not an expert on (and not even a fan of) that particular bit of fiction, but if you are, then I’d like to suggest that you consider looking at the possibility of doing that. —xyzzy_n 00:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Judging by the number of occurences of the term in BattleTech technology (one, so far) I suppose one might omit the second half, maybe even the last two thirds, of the article, unless the information there is crucial for the entire BattleTech universe. That way the subsection would also be appropriately short. —xyzzy_n 01:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! —xyzzy_n 09:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Acid Reflux webcomic

I'm tryin to track down the old Acid Reflux web comic. The archive site http://acidreflux.kemayo.com/ has gone down. Do you know where I can get a copy of the comic? GlennH123

If you find out, feel free to tell me! I was under the impression the only copy I knew of was an archive sitting on my hard drive, but not even that seems to be there anymore. --Kizor 10:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for looking, if I track down the archive I'll pass you a copy.

GlennH123 5.3.06

Duly noticed...

...no harm done then. Last time I checked it was just some guess-around discussion by gamers - damn, that was frickin' long ago :). I didn't even know the devs had commented on the issue. Thanks for the info. Bye. --TheOtherStephan 12:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse reports/Gallery

I'm trying to add captions to as many of the photos as possible (at least where names can be found for those pictured). would you be able to give me a hand with that? there's a few American soldiers who's names I'm unsure of and I'm not sure where to look for deainee names. thanks!Mike McGregor (Can) 20:06, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
