Greyhawk external links

I think others will be more accepting of edits you want to make to the external links on Greyhawk if you explain your reasoning in the edit summary. Even better, if you brought your concerns to the talk page, we could discuss what it is that you feel is inappropriate about the links. One of the links you tried to remove is to Canonfire!, which is arguably the most relevant source of Greyhawk information on the Web. Without substantial reason, I don't think any of the folks with Greyhawk on their watchlists is going to agree that it should be removed. -Harmil 10:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to List of Fictional Animals in Dreadmire

Your recent edit to List of Fictional Animals in Dreadmire (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior.

Unspecified source for Image:AuthorReading.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AuthorReading.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BanyanTree 04:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi again, Regarding the sourcing you gave to the article: You need to separate out two different licenses. The first is fair use, which is what the article is tagged with currently. Fair use does not require the copyright holder's prior permission but does require a rationale on why the uploader thinks the image falls under Wikipedia:Fair use. This is being confused by the assertion that the author has given permission to use the image on Wikipedia, which has nothing to do with fair use. Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL, which results in its content being spread to literally thousands of other sites, most for-profit. You may just want to assert fair use and remove any of the confusing other issues about permission. If the copyright holder asserts that it may be used on Wikipedia exclusively and will challenge any fair use, you should probably request its deletion to avoid Wikipedia getting an angry letter. - BanyanTree 04:44, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Santorini

It is not vandalism to remove unsourced theories from Wikipedia. Your new edit, though improved by being less definitive, still does not indicate whether these are someone else's theories or your own (which would be original research. You also seem to have removed a large section of the article in making your latest edit--I assume this was an accident? Nareek 15:12, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Ooze articles

Hi. I see that you have been creating multiple new articles on ooze-related creatures. This is against the recommendations of WP:FICT and does not serve the project so well. It would be much more advisable to merge all of these articles into one more meaningful central ressource. Even then, that content is of dubious value to a general encyclopedia and would probably be best suited for a D&D-oriented wiki. Thanks. Pascal.Tesson 20:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Well there's no issue to resolve really. The best way to fix all of this is to merge all of these articles. You can ask for help at the RPG project. Pascal.Tesson 20:45, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Apotheosis Publishing

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Apotheosis Publishing, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (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, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Apotheosis Publishing. If you remove the {{dated 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.

Coastcon

• As you have claimed you have information in regards to the conduct of the Coast Con staff. I will have no choice but to notify them of any revalations you make in this regard. Quode 17:48, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• It comes from their own hand-written minutes of the meeting in question. Continue the harassment any way you wish. Why are you afraid of the truth?

Necromancer Games

Hi. I have removed the prod tag you put on that article and sent it to AfD instead. You can voice your opinion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Necromancer Games. Pascal.Tesson 19:15, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Disruption

• Please stop disrupting Wikipedia by posting PROD tags all over the place. Pascal.Tesson 04:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Same back at ya. Seriously, though, I am nominating legitimate deletions now that it has been made clear to me what needs to be deleted from Wikipedia. Like you, I am not disrupting Wikipedia, I am hunting down nonsense and making sure it doesn't pollute Wikipedia.--Cryogenesis 06:50, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Or seeking revenge over the ousting of dreadmire. Wiki is a peer organization. The grayhawk material has earned a right to be here. The same must go for you and me.Quode 14:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Not only are you disrupting the project by nominating Greyhawk for AfD, you are also not following the correct procedure to do so. The AfD is not properly listed. Please follow the procedure detailed in the AfD tag and let's get this over with. Pascal.Tesson 14:48, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Cryogenesis for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Quode 15:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2006_October_22#Dreadmire

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. User:Zoe|(talk) 17:23, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• Just because I learned a new rule about Wikipedia and what is allowed and what is not, does not make it "disruption". I am rooting out fancruft and other non-encyclopedic articles, as a good Wikipedian should. The deletion requests are legitimate and righteous.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Greyhawk

• To let you know that I've cancelled the above AfD, since you clearly don't actually mean that it should be deleted; you're just retaliating with a largely spurious claim of "but Dreadmire got deleted". That does you no short- or long-term favours. Neither do your recent PRODdings; you'll only find that an admin (e.g. me) decides to stop you altogether. Also reference Zoe's comment above - you're already approaching the end of the kind of latitude you're likely to be extended. Take it easy. -Splash - tk 22:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• You are wrong. I meant it, and my reasons are legitimate. Just because I learned a new rule about Wikipedia and what is allowed and what is not, does not make it a bad faith deletion request. I will be lodging a complaint up the ladder of command. And since I am not a sockpuppet, I have nothing to worry about on the other issue.

Image:Randgary 1 -1-.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Randgary 1 -1-.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Randgary 1 -1-.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Randgary 1 -1-.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Edit summaries

Please stop describing other editor's good faith edits as vandalism in your edit summaries. Doing so could be considered a personal attack and get you blocked from editing. --Pak21 14:34, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Continous reversions (especially more than 3 per day) is considered vandalism via Wikipedia guidelines.--Cryogenesis 14:36, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Merging of articles without consensus is grounds for reversion. Said reversion is not vandalism, especially if there is consensus not to merge.--Rosicrucian 14:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Continued harassment of an individual Wikipedian is also grounds for WP:BLOCK. Stop following me and and harassing my edits. I am a hard working Wikipedian trying to improve this site with legitimate work.--Cryogenesis 14:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
