Hi Viewdrix, I've noticed that you've been putting in a lot of edits towards the Red vs Blue page. As you may have noticed, I did change some of those edits and even reversed some based on more accurate we have, and also decisions that were made earlier with other wiki members. If you have the time, I'd suggest reading up on the talk page and see what else you can add that we do need. Besides that, keep on working, but please make sure your info is as accurate as possible. Thank you. --LifeStar 21:46, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

"Removing episode 73 spoilers for non-sponsors"
Isn't that what the {{spoiler}} warning is for? -- TKD 13:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
- I was under the belief that there was a difference between spoiling it for those who havn't seen the episodes because they havn't seen the series before, and spoiling it for the general public who do not have the choice to see the episodes yet without paying $10. Sponsors spoiling the episode for non-sponsors is frowned upon at the Rooster Teeth forums, and I thought that it would carry out here. Also, the lack of additions to the season four plot before an episode goes public in the past seemed to encourage my theory that we usually wait for public release. A few episodes ago, actually, someone using the same name as on Rooster Teeth added plot developments before public release, and when I asked if taht was an OK thing to do, he said he had forgot the episode wasn't public yet.
- Perhaps we need to vote on it on the Talk page. Or just clarify. -- Viewdrix 9 February 2006
Egm NGR AfD
Hi, rather than clutter up the Article for Deletion discussion page even further, I thought I'd put my comment here. Hope this is OK. It seems like you're reading more into the process than is there. Its not like someone has gone through every article in Misplaced Pages and said "aha, I'm going to single out Egm NGR, even though I know that there are even worse articles that should be deleted first". Its much more likely that the original nominator (who I don't know from Adam, BTW) stumbled across it one day and thought that it didn't meet Misplaced Pages's standards for notability. If they had happened upon, say, the Hip Forums article first, that would be up for debate and someone would be shocked that Egm NGR wasn't being deleted as well. With over a million articles, the process of which ones get AfD'ed at any particular moment is essentially random.
Not sure if this helps you much. The only point to my comment was that rather than spending time finding articles that are even more deserving of deletion, you'll help your cause much more if you carefully read Misplaced Pages's WP:Notability guidelines then go out and provide notable, verifiable third-party sources. Editors do change their AfD votes if you make a persuasive argument in favor of your article. I am personally in favor of improving articles rather than deleting them, if they can be salvaged. So go out and convince me that Egm NGR is notable and I'll champion your cause myself. Good luck, Gwernol 00:49, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Machinima
Hi, Viewdrix. Sorry for the spam, but, since you were involved in bringing the Red vs Blue article up to featured status and in maintaining the related articles, I was wondering whether you'd be interested in the idea of a WikiProject Machinima to coordinate the improvement and maintenance of machinima-related articles on Misplaced Pages. See Talk:Machinima for more information. Thanks! — TKD::Talk 01:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
