: I have not another complaint about my sig. With over 100 opinions during my rfa, I have to be honest; I am not inclined to change it. If consensus is gathered, I'll modify it. Please feel free to bring this up during my rfa and then I can adequately gather that it may or may not be a problem. I am not discounting you by any means. I am just of the opinion that the squeaky wheel gets the grease when it is a problem. If it is, i'll change it. I'll be happy to revert back to the the default. I will truly do so. In fact, it may be a problem, so I will bring it to another forum. I don't want to be obtuse about it. Thanks. <sup><small>]</small></sup><sub><small> ]</small></sub> 11:59, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Reader Poll

The WikiProject Video games Newsletter released its first issue a year ago. The newsletter is meant to help connect editors, keep them up-to-date with the activities of the VG project, and improve the knowledge of our members. We've compiled a list of questions to help gauge the effectiveness of the newsletter's first year.

Answers will be accepted for a three week period following the deliver of the March 2009 issue on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Just to clarify, this is not an April Fools' Day gag, and we would really appreciate honest criticism. Information obtained from this poll is intend to alter the newsletter for the better. So don't feel you should hold back or give answers similar to everyone else.

Feel free to voice your opinion on the Poll page.




Feature: VG Barnstar
The Video Game Barnstar
The VG Barnstar is an award given to Wikipedians recognized for efforts and contributions to improve and develop video game related articles.

The VG Barnstar is one of many Misplaced Pages Barnstars designed to be given to editors that have helped further the overall quality of Misplaced Pages. It was created in February 2006 by Jacoplane—see past discussion for details—and has been given to numerous editors since. Sometimes editors with multiple Barnstars use an alternative way to display them: ribbons.

Barnstars are designed to be given by anyone, so don't be shy as everyone enjoys appreciation. If you have noticed or have been impressed with the work of an editor, feel free to let them know by placing {{subst:Barnstar VG|"message" ~~~~}} on their talk page. The template uses a parameter to include a message expressing the reasons behind the award.

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Law

You accepted GC's nomination, but you never transcluded the RfA on to the main RfA page. --Dylan (chat, work, ping, sign) 23:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind reminder, Dylan. I'm putting together a syllabus at the moment, and want to make sure I have the time to dedicate to answering all the questions that may be posed at the RfA. Again, your reminder is appreciated. shoot! 05:31, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
One minor bit of the transclusion was missed (the spare line) - I've fixed that and whilst I was there supported your request :) - good luck. Pedro :  Chat  11:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
No big deal - don't worry about it! Pedro :  Chat  11:41, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Next RFA? I don't think they'll be a next one - I suspect this one will pass no problems. Pedro :  Chat  12:24, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Mcm2.jpg

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Mcm2.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.

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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 18:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Rockfang! I added the source. Please have a look at it! shoot! 05:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

RfA note

Hey Law, not sure how this happened, but in this edit it looks like you removed one of Geo Swan's questions without responding to it...not sure if there's a reason or if that was just the result of an edit conflict or something. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know, in case it was unintentional.

Also, I left you some more questions. Sorry to inundate you so much...since you have had to answer so many questions already, I don't mind if your answers to mine are pretty short. Mainly I just want to get a feel for your stance on these issues, and see that you have been thinking about them. Best, rʨanaɢ /contribs 04:24, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that

I did not catch the change on your page. I wish your father be fine soon.--Caspian blue 16:24, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

RFA on hold

I've put your RFA on hold due to your stated RL issues. I hope things in RL work out for you. I felt putting it on hold was the best choice since it'd only run half it's course. When you return, contact myself or another crat, either on talk page or at WP:BN and we can restart your RFA. The simplest and most obvious thing is to restart it and let it run for the remaining 3 days 12 hours, though there are other options. Best regards, — RlevseTalk22:22, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

My condolensces

I'm sorry to hear about your computer and more importantly your father's health. Your father will be in my prayers. Killiondude (talk) 22:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. Best wishes to your father, Dylan620 Wishes you a Happy Easter! 00:19, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
You are in the thoughts of my family. Best Wishes. Pedro :  Chat  06:51, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Indeed. Best wishes to you and your family at this troubling time. PeterSymonds (talk) 09:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


Everyone has been so premium here. I could not ask for more. My father ended up in the hospital, and my mom collapsed as well. It's difficult to deal with so much. Thanks goes out to everyone. I really mean that. There is a point when RL has a divide from WP friends, but at this point, I would not even discern between the two. The emails, the phone calls - wow. What a great group; not for just accepting me for who I have put out here, but for those who trusted me enough to show that concern. What a great place. Can I say it again? What a great place. shoot! 09:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Very sorry to hear about your real life concerns as well, I wish the very best for your parents, and for you. Best of luck in your RfA as well. — Ched :  ?  16:36, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Your essay

Hey, welcome back. I just edited your User:Law/NOODLE. If you think my edit did not add good for the content, or has incurable grammatical errors, since you're the writer, feel free to revert or fix it. Thanks.--Caspian blue 12:35, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Your sig

Has anyone commented that it's too small? I find it extemely difficult to read and, in fact, had to hover the cursor over it to see what it said. Would you consider enlarging it a bit? Thanks. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 20:59, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
