Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as: copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such unreasonable information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, and will result in your account being blocked.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Wii technical issues

Your recent edit to Wii technical issues (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.

Regarding your edits to Wii Technical Problems:

A tag has been placed on Wii Technical Problems, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Wii Technical Problems is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Wii Technical Problems saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we request you to follow these instructions. --L3TUC3 15:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:Wii_error_110213.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wii_error_110213.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

Starting Deletion Process

Hi wageslave. I'm just letting you know that due to lack of improvements on the Wii technical problems article, I am beginning formal Article for Deletion procedures. This will give you about 5 days to improve the content of the article while the editors debate on its merits. If a consensus is reached to delete the page after that time, the delete will be carried out and made permanent. --Jbanes 17:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Xbox 360

Hi there. I noticed you changed all Live to LIVE, because "it is the correct name." Note that Wikipedia has its own set of guidelines, like Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), that clearly indicates Capitalize trademarks, as with proper names. and that Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment: avoid: REALTOR®, instead, use: Realtor In other words, although the trademark is "Xbox LIVE", Wikipedia uses "Xbox Live" for consistence. Thanks for understanding. -- ReyBrujo 03:47, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The same guideline has a subsection, here, which explains that Lowercased trademarks beginning with a one-letter, separable prefix do not need to be capitalized if the second letter is capitalized, but should otherwise follow normal capitalization rules: avoid: EBay is where he bought his IPod. instead, use: eBay is where he bought his iPod. As you can see, the guideline states that something like LIVE should be modified to Live, but something like eBay should not be modified to EBay, and while you could change that to Ebay, it is not necessary. I suggest you discuss in the guideline talk page if you want to remove that exception from there. -- ReyBrujo 20:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are a member of WikiProject Xbox, but please try to remain neutral when editing Xbox 360. Thank you.--Kozuch (talk) 00:21, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trust me. If you seen the internal Microsoft documents that I have you would not be so skeptical about the RROD rates. Also I freaking love my Xbox 360. --8bitJake (talk) 04:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of Wii Sports

You recently removed Wii Sports from the bundled games section on the List of best-selling video games article. Wii Sports is bundled with Wii in all regions (except Japan). In the future please double check before removing information from a page. Zomic_13 03:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of comments

Hello. You may not have been aware of this, but removing other people's comments from talk pages is generally frowned upon here. Bladestorm 22:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the comment is ridiculous? Like, if I went to the page on Carrots and started a discussion about how Carrots are repsonsbile for killing babies? Wageslave 04:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you know that's a significantly different case. :)

Although, if the person had a link discussing babies and babies dying, and you could tell that he really was being serious, then you'd really want to think twice before outright deleting it. Generally speaking, outside of your own talkpage(meaning you can delete what I'm saying right now if you want), only the most abusive of comments should be removed.

AfD nomination of PlayStation 3 technical problems

PlayStation 3 technical problems, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PlayStation 3 technical problems and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of PlayStation 3 technical problems during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Oli Filth 00:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Live messenger xbox 360.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Live messenger xbox 360.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Xbox live arcade1.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Xbox live arcade1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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:Non-free content, 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kip Smithers ^T/C 21:13, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Xbox live arcade1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Xbox live arcade1.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Xbox 360 technical problems

I see you have been working on this article for long period of time. Do you feel that the article is clean, well-expanded, and full of correct information. I'm trying to remove articles that have been asked to be clean up. Please respond on the project talk page, I've added this question there too. Thanks DJS --DJS24 (talk) 16:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

XBox 360 technical problem talk page

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war . Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Dibol (talk) 09:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your IP stalker

Yes, there is a way to check IPs and cross-ref to actual user accounts, but only certain users have the ability to do so. It would have to come by way of a sockpuppet investigation, StaticGull gave you some good advice at my talk page. Sorry for the late reply. xenocidic (talk) 20:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings

Hello, it is my intent to wish you greetings and salutations. I hope everything is well with you. It is my endeavour to accomplish the feat of becoming a wiki-friend to everyone on this website. Will you oblidge to help me, by becoming my wiki-friend? I hope you are able to help me out with this fetish of mine.

Archived discussion on 360 page

Which one did you want restored? Since no one had commented on Talk:Xbox 360/Archive_12#8bitjoystick_and_the_Inside_Source_on_RROD_Truth in nearly a month, I figured we could archive it. But I can restore it if you want. xenocidic (talk) 17:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that message

Your edits(on sony/Microsoft articles)

Having looked at your edits over the past few days(and some from before), I cant help but notice that what you are doing on Wikipedia may be having a negative effect on some articles. At this point, several editors have commented on your edits and yet you continue to attempt to put as much negative content on any PS3 related article and remove all negative content from any Microsoft related article. Every time you are confronted over this you reply with WP:AGF, however I have mentioned before, this has its limits. I would like to discuss this with you here rather than constantly meet you in random discussion pages and bicker over many minor changes. John.n-IRL 18:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wholly reject your characterization of my edits as "negative". Its quite clear that some articles are being maintained with POV problems. Some have Neg-POV and others have Positive-POV.

You've been essentially stalking me, and the arguments against my proposed edits have amounted to nothing more than ad hominum attacks, violations of WP:AGF and WP:PA.

I would argue that you're interest is to prevent any balance of opinion. The items I am proposing be included in the articles are not my own opinion, or OR but well verifiable, relevant. apropos and totally within the scope of the articles I am attempting to improve.

Instead of making baseless attacks on my purpose, please address try and work with other editors in good-faith.
