The article is written more like a magazine article than an encyclopedia article. Zellin 22:38, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

Re: Blocking me

According to Aranel's own words, in her counting of the votes, the category needed 80% to delete. According to Aranel that required her vote. According to Aranel she did not give it. Therefore it failed to meet consensus to delete. Cheesedreams 22:17, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

P.s. shouldn't Neutrality be blocked? According to the Wikipedia:Blocking policy he should be blocked for having an inappropriate user name after repeatedly being requested to change it. Cheesedreams 22:17, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

You can see the most recent ruling on Neutrality's choice of username here. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 22:47, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Super Mario remake series

Thanks for that info. I went ahead and made those corrections.

Sock puppets

Hi, could you possibly take a look at this and see whether you think these are sock puppets? If so, could you consider banning them for vandalism (and the use of sock puppets), so that, by use of the autoblocking, it becomes possible to work out who they really are?

damage message

Why do I keep getting warnings that i am damageing pages?? I am not!

Lost and found (band)

Would you mind explaining why you thought this article was "vanity"? It doesn't seem to me to fit the criteria outlined in the policy. It was POV, yes, and it was edited by a fan (but so are the articles on most bands, to be fair), but the band seems to have a bit wider interest than "vanity" would suggest. My understanding of the latter is that it covers articles about your brother, or your cat, but not about minor bands that you happen to like.Dr Zen 05:43, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Ago Gratias

Salve, Andrevan!
Thanks for you vote, but thanks you so very much for posting on my RFA candidacy my previous reply to critics of my serial edits. (I don't check in for three days and apparently I'm AWOL or a deserter or worse!) As the criticism comes, as Captain Renault would put it "from the usual suspects", it doesn't surprise me. I thought my explanation before was perfectly reasonable and was surprised the issue resurfaced. Again, thanks. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 21:37, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)

Firefox reversion

Hiya. Just curious: why the blanket reversion of my edits to Firefox? Did you find every single one of them without merit? Bbpen 21:00, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Mediation

I think it's pretty clear by now that there's plenty of support for you joining the Mediation Committee, so I've added you to the list of mediators, and removed the request. If you've any questions, feel free to ask, but we're in a bit of a messy state at the moment, as we try to work out the future directions for mediation on Wikipedia.

It'd be nice if you could note your email on Wikipedia:Mediation Committee. You may be interested in putting your name down here as well, if you're interested in attending this upcoming committee meeting. Cheers, Ambi 05:51, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

RFA thanks

Salve, Andrevan!
I wanted to drop you a line to thank you for your support in my successful RFA candidacy. It was very gratifying to see the kind remarks posted by yourself and others. Ave! PedanticallySpeaking 17:23, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

Nintendo DS

Hey, Andrevan. (Nice user page, btw). I took out that stuff at Nintendo DS because it's un-encyclopedic. The stuff on the "stagnation in the industry" reads like an op-ed. As for the removal of the items about how it couldn't read Gameboy games, it's old data, why do we need that? It can read both Gameboy Advance and Gameboy (thanks modders!), so it's irrelevant (IMO), what people thought of at E3. Anyways, if you want that stuff about the industry, could you at LEAST wikify it please, to make it sound less like a Nintendo press release?. Thanks. Terrapin 20:56, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

What's wrong with this code?

Copied it out of the how to guide, all I changed was the image link and alt text. I'll post it:

Thanks Andre, but currently I'm not that interested. Perhaps in the future. While I have a lot of edits I still at times feel like a noob with Wikipedia. :) K1Bond007 01:24, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

MedCom vote

Too new, I think. Not opposing though Andre (talk) 08:46, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)

Hmm, that's kind but a bit odd. Feel free to oppose on the grounds of me being too new, I'd hate to be appointed to the Mediation Committee with everyone thinking I was too new but not opposing out of kindness. --fvw* 14:11, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)

Moving a page

The pages "Rainbow Six (video game)" and "Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield" were recently moved, however, they were done so without the use of the move function (i.e. they were copied and pasted). Is there anyway to revert that and use the move function? A lot of history was left behind. ?? The pages are now Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. K1Bond007 01:49, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)

Re: Done & Done. Thanks again Andre K1Bond007 04:48, Dec 29, 2004 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your support on my RFA request. It seems that had I waited one day with self-nominating, it would have succeeded. User:Anárion/sig 09:05, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

mozilla

Hi, Andrevan. Why the Mozilla reversion? Bbpen 21:20, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Kindly read the edited version more carefully; I removed no information. Moreover, the edit solved several sentence structure problems. For example, the problem of IE's non-adherence to Web standards -- largely, its nonstandard interpretation of HTML and CSS -- is no longer grouped under the inappropriate rubric of "insecurity." The edit also reduces the emphasis on Microsoft actions, which is distracting and out of place in the introduction of an already overlong article (46K!) on Firefox. Indeed, I'd suggest we delete the last sentence entirely, and take the thought up when the article mentions SP2 far below. Bbpen 01:02, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

"Poor program design" is redundant; all of IE's flaws noted here are poor program design. Similarly, "insecurity" is covered for the purposes of the intro by citing the ActiveX and malware examples. The topic is delved into in much more detail below -- as is the Microsoft history. Moreover, the sentence "Microsoft, for its part, has said that..." does not makes your point, which (I gather) is that MS' lackluster response to consumer demand opened a crucial opportunity for Firefox. If you want to say that, go ahead; it sounds like a valuable addition. But the text doesn't say that now -- and it says what it does say more clunkily than necessary. Bbpen 05:38, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi Andre. Question regarding "biased" article topics.

Thank you for the welcome. I do have one question that you may be able to answer. I've noticed that some articles like chickenhawk, 2004 election controversies, Ohio, and liberal media are to some extent or another political and inherently geared towards one side of the political spectrum or another. However, these articles may also contain valuable information. Where does Wikipedia draw the line between not having POV and removing concrete knowledge from the encyclopedia?

Japanese names

Some people like to know the original name of a fictional character. In addition, the article talks about things specific to the Japanese version of SSBM (e.g. seiyu). So why not do it here? WhisperToMe 20:57, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Game Boy Evolution VFD

Andrevan, you listed Game Boy Evolution for VFD, but the tag was removed by an anon. Is that article still there in VFD? It should be. The entire wikiarticle is BS, and based on fanboy rumors. As if Nintendo was going to split its handheld market down the middle 1-yr after the DS launch. Should I revert, or do you want to? Terrapin 20:19, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Call for AMA election

AMA Member Advocate,

There's a poll currently in the AMA Homepage about making a new AMA Coordinator election. Please, cast your vote there (though it's not mandatory). Any comments you have about this, write it on the AMA Homepage talk page. Cheers, --Neigel von Teighen 18:43, 4 Jan 2005 (UTC)

AMA Membership Meeting

As AMA Coordinator I am requesting that suggestions be placed on Wikipedia:AMA Membership Meeting plans for our first membership meeting, to be held in the near future, (hopefully before any election occurs.) Since we have never had any kind of "official" meeting we need to discuss how this will occur (i.e. Wiki pages or IRC channel), how it will be structured (i.e. meeting agenda) and if there will be any "chair" to supervise the meeting and meeting "secretary" to write up minutes or keep some kind of official record of what transpires. Thanks in advance for your input and your continued work as an advocate. — © Alex756 19:47, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Andre, I Need Your Help

I originated the article John Melendez. A couple of unregistered users contiune to vandalize my articule constently, and insist on converting it into a stub Just because "they" think the person in question doesn't deserve an article. I put time and effort into it. I told them that if they had a problem to take to arbiration. Help me protect my article from "these" people. They want to force a revert war which I don't want. Tony the Marine

I've explined the two list form on WikiProject

Please see my comments on that page, and let me know what you think of them. You removed the two list form, and asked for comments. JesseW 05:02, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Akrotiri and Dhekelia vote

I urge you to reconsider your vote on the inclusion of Akrotiri and Dhekelia as dependencies in Europe at Template talk:Europe. The CIA World Factbook now lists them [12] as dependencies of the UK and has separate entries for the two ([13] & [14].) They also have this note posted on the main page [15]:

Recent confirmation that the United Kingdom Government administers the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia on Cyprus as dependencies (and not as lease areas like the US Guantanamo Bay Naval Station in Cuba) has required a changing of their status and their addition to the Factbook as new entities.

Misleading links

The reason I called the links "misleading" is that the articles they link to aren't what's being discussed. If I'm reading an article about a game or book with a character named "Garry Kasparov," I expect the link to take me to an article explaining the character and why he got that name, and what his (her? its?) eccentricities are, not to an article on the real-life Garry Kasparov. I'm not going to revert the changes or get into an edit war over them, because it's not THAT big of a deal, but I did want to explain why I de-linked them in the first place.

cringe: America's Army

I know you technically "quit", but I was wondering if either A) You can take a look at the current discussion going on under "Serious Game" or B) Ask someone else you trust to look into it. The person, that you're well aware of, is being (to be absolutely frank) an idiot -again- and I'm hoping to get this resolved once and for all. I don't care if this has to go to the Mediation Committe or Arbitration Committee or whatever, I just want this done. This certain IP is unwilling to put aside his bias in the article or the Army in general to come to any sort of agreement on the discussion. Showing proof from numerous sources, he still persists. -- If theres another way in which I should have this handled (etc) let me know. My apolgies for dragging you into this again :D K1Bond007 00:34, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

That line you quoted is another ongoing debate. In fact, theres somewhat of a revert war going on over that statement. Taking a look at RFC, it would appear someone already listed it. K1Bond007 03:11, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

How does one request mediation or ??. I think the article obviously needs it. K1Bond007 17:59, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

Well there already is an RfC apparently, right? What more can I do there? K1Bond007 19:08, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

Substub template

I created a new image for the Substub template (the Stub template has one, so I figured the Substub template could use one, too), but then I noticed it was locked. Would this image be acceptable for such use? File:Mini Wiki letter w.png

Fair use

The image Image:Alucard.jpg has today found its way to the Swedish Wikipedia (sv:Bild:Alucard.jpg) and caused a discussion about coyright law and fair use. I notice that you added the {{fairuse}} tag to the image a while ago. Do you still think that it is fair use to have the picture on Wikipedia? In my view, fair use allows Wikipedia using bookcovers, albumcovers, company logotypes and similary pictures, not drawings of this kind. Regards, Thuresson 16:47, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
