GTA template vandalism (Consolidated with User talk:Th1rt3en)

Thirteen, the vandalism is user Ned Scott using the undo function instead of adding back code that they desires in the template. In this case the black bar makes the title harder to read on some screens so I returned it to the default color set. For WP:OWN issues, contact him. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 19:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Also part of what I was doing to the templates was tidying the code. Amazing how much smaller the total size of the template (as in data size) got when all I did was remove the unneeded spaces. I also did some other cleaning to the code base so simply clicking undo is the wrong way to restore custom coloring. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 20:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay, I see. It just looked more like the start of an edit war, but I still would not necessarily call it vandalism since it was not unconstructive (byte size excluded). I recall seeing something that said custom colors "shouldn't" be used but I couldn't find it when I looked earlier. Also, I was in a long editing conflict over an old version of the Metal Gear template, so I tend to get testy over anything that appears to be a strictly enforced uniform style for navboxes. TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 01:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
It was one of those "you had to have been there" moments. I was performing a catch-all and the GTA Navbox was one of many Navboxen he hit. No, just the title color alone doesn't constitute vandalism I agree, but regardless of color choice he was performing harmful undos to templates despite multiple warnings and I was sending them all back. As for the template, the black just looks bad to me, yes, GTA uses a "black" theme for the most part but the pages this template is on don't. There's a reason Wikipedia has chosen the color scheme it uses by default. I'm not a mad adder over standardization but thoughtful discussion and relative consensus should be sought over custom styles that might look good and work perfectly to some, but be a reading difficulty and break to others. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 02:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Nav templates

Nav template standardization isn't even a guideline, let alone some kind of policy that you believe you can enforce. You've only been editing to the template nav space for a little over a month. You've gone on this crusade against any customization because of the comment "NOT RECOMMENDED" which was inserted by a single user in some template doc that no one probably noticed, or at least didn't interpret as strictly as you have.

You've called me, a long time editor in good standing with the community, a vandal. It is not appropriate to accuse someone of vandalism because you don't personally agree with their position on something.

You've claimed that multiple editors back you up, even an administrator. Who are these users? The discussion on WT:VG doesn't show support for your extreme application of standardization, and you are clearly taking User:David Fuchs's comments to mean something they don't.

Have you even stopped to look at how the nav and infoboxes look on the article series for The Simpsons? Have you considered just how many templates include color and size options by demand? You have put way too much emphasis on some mere template documentation. You've been asked by multiple users to stop, and your only reply is that you don't believe their reasons are "good enough". I'm sorry, but from a user who's only recently been involved in template standardization, I don't think you have any place to make such judgements. Stop, listen to people around you, before you take this too far. -- Ned Scott 06:47, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Vgy (Consolidated with User talk:east718)

Was it really tagged for deletion for seven days? Did it really completely duplicate the function of another template? If so, which one?

The template is part of Wikiproject Video Games' template set, did you discuss the deletion of this template with the project? I can't seem to find the section regarding it. Also you should inform the members of that project which template to use in place of Vgy, since Vgy was a complete duplicate of another template's function as you stated in your reason for speedy deletion.

Even if there were valid reasons to delete this template you might consider cleaning up after yourself. Thank you. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 17:58, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Gah, sorry about that! Some other admin nuked the documentation subpage, and that caused all sorts of wacky stuff. I've restored the template and its documentation, and fixed the bug in {{db-deporph}} that allowed this to happen. Sorry for the inconvenience! east.718 at 18:41, February 23, 2008
Oops! :P It's cool, I'm just glad you're not one of those admins that delete things out of spite. --AeronPrometheus (talk) 19:04, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Reversion of my edits to DDRMAX2 and DS Megamix

All of the information that I trimmed from the article was already adequately covered in the main DDR series article, I think only including stuff about additional things relevant to that mix (like new features and scoring systems) streamlines the article and removes the unneeded repetition of information. Also, I've done the exact same changes to most of the other DDR articles, and you didn't to seem to object. Also, I did the changes to Dancing Stage MegaMix because the current version read too much like an advertisement and didn't follow the consistant format of the other DDR articles. And also, no where in Wikipedia policy does it say that major changes must have consensus in a debate on the talk page. Anyone can contribute and can do what they want here. This is supposed to be "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit," not the "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but you have to ask permission first." I'm just being bold. We have policies against "ownership" of pages, and this just screams that. ViperSnake151 13:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Just a thanks

Thank you for your vandalism reversion on the article Music video game. It is always nice to see someone noticing such tiny yet annoying edits to somewhat obscure pages such as a that one. Also, you seem to have contributed great information to various articles. Thanks again for the hard work. KurisuYamato (talk) 14:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Proposals#Taskforce for BEMANI

Get to work!~ Haha. Can we create a Wikiproject page? Place some guidelines and spring to action? Do contact Coredesat as well. Fireblaster lyz (talk) 04:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm in the middle of redoing Dance Dance Revolution (video game) right now. If you have any good web references for the first game in the series (From all releases) do let me know. I'm specifically looking for the "touring edition" song list, and a better picture of an original DDR machine (free license image). Contact me if you need any help.

So does this mean that the task force has been approved? I saw no indication on the proposals page. Also, which name were we going with, yours or mine? --AeronPrometheus (talk) 05:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Please do continue on your current projects. As of web references, you might want to look at Konami's official web and some of the Bemani forums, http://ddr.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/ and http://www.bemanistyle.com/forum/.

We also should notify others that the task force is alive and is planning on action. I will also assist in editing of DDR pages whereever possible, in accordance with your guidelines on your Current Projects page.

I am unsure whether the task force is approved. We might need to contact Krator on this one. Once approved, I recommand going with your name due to my lack of experience on Wikipedia editing. Fireblaster lyz (talk) 14:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

song lists

I was planning on splitting off full song lists for each version, but my effort has kinda stalled. Sure, if it can be done for Guitar Hero without objection, it can be done for DDR. Also, I did the EuroMix 2 article, long overdue. ViperSnake151 20:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Dancing Stage Universe

First of all sorry about the 3 edits, that was by accident.

  • I agree that {{vgrelease}} is there for a reason, but in this case there in no reason why it should be called twice when the way I changed it works exactly the same way.
  • The capitalization of {{vgratings}} didn't matter, it was just instinct to me because I'm used to lower case.
  • I thought the text was meant to be a caption, considering that the caption parameter was not there and that |text obviously does not add a caption as it does when displayed as a thumb or something.
  • The optimal recommended image size for {{Infobox VG}} is 256px, not 252px, which you can see on the template's talk page.

MrKIA11 (talk) 23:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I just checked myself, and I agree that 252px is the max. I'm not sure why everything says 256px, unless it has to do with the browser. What are you using? It seems to me that it should be 258, 264 minus 3 for each side as cellpadding=3. What am I missing?
The problem with using {{vgy}}, which has been discussed before but I'm not sure what the outcome was, is that it doesn't format according to user preferences, which is the reason I do not use it. Has there been a decision that it definitely should be? MrKIA11 (talk) 23:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Nevermind, forget the discussion. Just look at the guidelines. {{vgy}} should only be used when you only have a year. MrKIA11 (talk) 00:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

RE:Dance Dance characters

The article was only a list of names, to be precise:" Afro, Lady, Rage, Emi, Disk A, Disk B, Akira, Yuni, Alice, Baby-Lon, Maid-Zukin, Konsento, Devil-Zukin, Angel-Zukin, Robo 2001, Robo-Zukin, Astro, Charmy, Johnny, Jenny," That was the sum total of its content. So, basically there was no content. Don't suppose that helps you, but there it is. ;) Regards. Woody (talk) 11:59, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Over-specific Dance Dance Revolution categories

Hi, what did I do that is test edits and vandalism? I don't understand. Thanks. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 12:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, I tried to help but I didn't know this was considered test edit and vandalism. I won't do it again. Sorry again. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 12:37, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You are a winrar!

Updated DYK query On 24 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Dancing Stage MegaMix, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Also, I'm gonna see if I can get the Pump it Up articles into better shape too. --ViperSnake151 19:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Bemani series logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Bemani series logo.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

List of GuitarFreaks & DrumMania songs

All songs listed are in the both games. This is due because both games have the ability to "play together".

Response.

Um, did I just get called biased for being less biased? I don't see you taking up arms in response to someone fighting to keep Australian release dates off of the list. Oh, wait, let me guess - you support him, and are using random adjectives to describe people, not caring if they're ironically misapplied.

Yeah, besides the fact that the only reason the article would require a split is the immensely excessive content on the article?

And I love how you described my complaints of there being no Australian release dates on the list as if it was some childish banter. I'll just make a note of that, so I can remember to not take you seriously the next time I encounter you on Wikipedia. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, my bad, I guess you didn't fire the first shot when you insulted me by describing my gripes with the blatant bias you and many others have against anything not American or Japanese. Excuse me if I have grown frustrated with it, but I have dealt with more disputes over naming and content inclusion than you'll ever deal with. I've dealt with it on lists, articles, with box arts, titles, release dates, other names, etc. People like you get my blood boiling, the fact that not one of you seems intent on giving one crap about Australia doesn't inspire me to care what you think of me. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Link please stop trolling its not help me or you at this point.--Lbrun12415 05:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks.--Lbrun12415 06:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Aeron, the debate was always about Australia. The only reason I removed the release dates, besides size issues, was because it was biased and skewed away from Australians. After seeing how people reacted to Australian release dates being included - namely Lbrun, who advocated NOT including them by citing other lists - it became a new "cause".
And I don't do it now because it would take an extremely long time to DO. And it's one in the freaking morning. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:01, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
the size issue never said anything about removing things but, to move them. That were you did the wrong thing.--Lbrun12415 06:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
That is NOT the one and only solution. An article can be too large because it's growing up into a very, very full article, OR it could be too large because people have been adding far too much unnecessary content. Both are true. I have no problem with listing which regions the games are released in or to be released, but NOT the dates. Cutting the dates would solve the problem of size. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
sorry about that i thought it was links page im so sorry.--Lbrun12415 06:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
