Um... what part of the rationale does the new image purportedly invalidate? --Jtalledo (talk) 12:37, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

The description and portion used. Beyond that, there seems little to gain by trying to modify the image to eliminate the platform from the packaging and, if there isn't a guideline from WP:Video Games, a bit to lose. The article is about the product. If the image is used to identify the topic, then the full cover of the initial release is preferable to cropping down to just the art - especially whn the packaging for different platforms use the art differently. Yes, that does raise an issue with "which platform", but that is something left up to the article talk page if it really is a contentious issue.
And there also seems to be an issue with the licensing when you bother to edit the FURs...

What "issue" do you speak of? Per Template:Infobox video game/doc: "Where a game is released on multiple platforms, the PC cover is preferred over console covers to avoid bias towards a certain console. However, if possible, artwork should not use any platform indicator at all." Using platform free art is standard to many video game articles. If it's because you uploaded the image and you want it to stay, then just say it. I wouldn't have a problem with honesty. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:28, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Keysi Fighting Method

You reverted my edits to Batman Begins without comment. Keysi Fighting Method does not meet notability guidelines in Project_Martial_arts#Notability_guidelines#Arts and styles. Its notability and the schools growth are due to the movie. Would you consider allowing the information about this otherwise non-notable martial art to exist in the Batman move? Thanks! jmcw (talk) 11:07, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Well...
  1. Notability guidelines like WP:MANOTE or WP:MANOTE#Arts and styles are generally used for determining if an article is justified.
  2. Similar guidelines can be put in place by Project for sections or information to be included in articles that primarily focus on the topics the Project looks after. While there are films that WPMA might keep an eye on, but Batman Begins does not seem to be one of them.
  3. Articles on films are generally focused on the film - the cast, plot, production, and critical response being the primary aspects. While production and review may include subsection on the development of of props, plot, directors' input, themes and style, the subsections are not supposed to be history lessons of an element beyond its use in the film.
  4. The choice of one or more martial arts for use in a film is not normally a "theme" in and of itself. The themes or character design may dictate the choice of a particular art, style, or school though.
  5. Inclusion of a statement like "Keysi was chosen as part of the fighting style in the film because..." need to be sourced to reliable, [[WP:VERIFIABLE|verifiable secondary sources.
  6. External links should be reflective of the general topic of an article.
What you did is shove an article on Keysi Fighting Method in to the article on Batman Begins. Content that had zero relation to the article and had minimal sourcing. And you spammed the external links.
Now, is that enough comment for you?

If 'What you did is shove an article on Keysi Fighting Method in to the article on Batman Begins. Content that had zero relation to the article and had minimal sourcing. And you spammed the external links.' is your good faith, I fear your bad faith.
I intend to put the Keysi martial arts article into 'Batman Begins' because because only this movie gives context to this MA. As a MA article, it will probably not survive AFD. I think Wikipedia is better with some information about this style, so here is the best place. Would you reconsider? jmcw (talk) 07:49, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
I'm sorry you feel that AGF should allow for the inclusion of unrelated material in to articles. Hijacking in that way is not editing in good faith, even if well intentioned.
That you feel what you did is a reasonable way to "save" an article is troubling. The best way to save the article KFM would be to work on it to get it to pass WP:GNG. Next would be merging it to an appropriate list or umbrella article, though that may be better suggested if the article actually goes to AFD.

Hmains & (decade)

I attempted to notify him that his use of "(decade)" was incorrect in prose but he seems to have ignored both of us and continued to make such changes to articles. What is the next step?—Ryulong (竜龙) 02:10, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

He's started a thread at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#century, just fyi.—Ryulong (竜龙) 02:39, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you

Well I will not load! But understand me just because in the other article on three-four pictures and in article Jessica Drew only one! But the question is why do you single out the word Clone Saga, because she not only in this story appeared? --Ultimate Anna (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Ultimate Spider Woman

Why don't you move a word Clone Saga, because she not only in this story appeared! --90.155.142.140 (talk) 09:08, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Can you help me?!--Ultimate Anna (talk) 23:59, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

List of Batman Beyond characters

Hi, can you proofread what I wrote about Jake Chill on List of Batman Beyond characters? Thanks.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Edit notices

Hi. I've noticed that you have created a lot of edit notice templates (e.g. Template:Editnotices/Page/List of minor X-Men characters). A couple of suggestions:

  • Perhaps you could use {{edit notice}} for these instead of {{ambox}}? It will help us to produce a consistent look for edit notices.
  • If a lot of these notices are similar, perhaps you could create a template and then transclude this.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Avengers Academy

I could use your assistance in dealing with an IP editor, who has been reverted and warned by multiple editors. I am currently at my maximum allowable reverts. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 01:36, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, however the IP has returned, reverted you and vowed to keep up the edit war on the talk page.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 14:47, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
