Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

File:Trails in the Sky Logo.png

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

VG cover images

Thank you for adding video game cover images! If you are interested, there was some coordination to tackle the massive backlog at Category talk:Video game articles requesting identifying art not long ago, which could probably be jumpstarted easily enough. :) 73.168.15.161 (talk) 15:58, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lifeline (2015 video game), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Android (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Cooking Mama into Cooking Mama (series). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:25, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Source for Yoshi's Crafted World art?

Hey there! You uploaded a new version of File:Yoshi's Crafted World.png, which is the original key art that I had been looking for in the past few days. May I ask where you found it? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 18:02, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

@PhilipTerryGraham: Hello, I found it here on the Nintendo Wikia.

Joker

Do you think Joker could use some sort of dual-image set up, due to his two different appearances within the game? Basically how its done on the Sonic the Hedgehog (character) page? ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 01:12, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

@Dissident93: Got it, is this new one fine?

Yes, the only thing that I could suggest would be to stop the overlap between the 2nd image behind the first, but if that can't be done this is more than acceptable, thanks. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 19:37, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

@Dissident93: Done

Perfect. But by the way, your ping didn't work because you need to sign your comment before publishing. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 20:50, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

Page protection

Hello! Thanks for asking for page protection for 100 Gecs at WP:RFPP. Your request has been declined and I wanted to explain why :) Semi-page protection is meant for pages experiencing high or persistent levels of vandalism, which this page just wasn't. All pages experience some vandalism, from the smallest to the largest, but we don't want to shut out valuable new editors. A large portion of constructive edits are still made by IP's and new users, so we try to use page protection as sparingly as possible. Generally, if a page has had much recent disruption (at least 3 vandalisms not all by the same user is a good rule of thumb) within the last day, or persistent disruption over the course of a week, then semi-protection might be warranted. Sometimes protection for disruption over a longer scale is warranted, but it needs to really be persistent and troublesome. Hopefully that helps explain our protection policy a little better! Don't be afraid to submit pages for protection though if you think they need it, better safe than sorry, and an admin can always make the final call. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:01, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Open Sorcery.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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.

"we don't need to specify in the lead"

Um... what does that mean in the Splatoon article...? I just added the day to the date that way people also knew the day on when Splatoon was released. When you said, "we don't need to specify in the lead", that confused me, please specify what you mean. --Toad62 (talk) 19:53, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

@Toad62: See WP:VG/RELEASE; "In the article lead, release dates should be summarized to be as general as possible, avoiding specific mention of platform and region releases unless significant. Whenever possible, the release dates in the lead should be summarized to the year of release, or month and year if further applicable." L ke (talk • contribs) 22:34, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Oh... ok. Thanks. Have a good day and stay safe. Toad62 (talk) 22:57, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

I’m new to wiki, so I don’t know all of the rules. Thanks for telling me that! Toad62 (talk) 22:59, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

@Toad62: No problem! I probably should've explained better in my first edit, my apologies. You have a good day also, and have fun on Wikipedia! L ke (talk • contribs) 23:25, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! :) Toad62 (talk) 23:25, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!

Thanks for being nice and understanding to me in the date edit on Splatoon! - Toad62 Toad62 (talk) 18:01, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

January 2023

Hello, I'm Soetermans. I noticed that you recently removed content from Mario Kart: Super Circuit without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 19:50, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Mario Kart: Super Circuit

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Mario Kart: Super Circuit you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of TheJoebro64 -- TheJoebro64 (talk) 21:41, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Mario Kart: Super Circuit

The article Mario Kart: Super Circuit you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Talk:Mario Kart: Super Circuit/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of TheJoebro64 -- TheJoebro64 (talk) 15:21, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Mario Kart: Super Circuit

The article Mario Kart: Super Circuit you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Mario Kart: Super Circuit for comments about the article, and Talk:Mario Kart: Super Circuit/GA1 for the nomination. Well done!

DYK for Mario Kart: Super Circuit

On 18 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mario Kart: Super Circuit, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the release of Mario Kart: Super Circuit in China was cancelled because of excessive video-game piracy in the country? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mario Kart: Super Circuit. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mario Kart: Super Circuit), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Period in a caption

MOS:CAPFRAG says: "If any complete sentence occurs in a caption, then all sentences, and any sentence fragments, in that caption should end with a period or full stop."

And "The player, as Yoshi, races on one of the game's tracks" is a complete sentence. BorgQueen (talk) 13:14, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
