[edit] I finally created my fansite

Hey Phoenix. I know that I have not been around Wikipedia much lately, but I was working on other projects while I was away from the usual Wikipedia crap. I invite you to check out [1], and I will be submitting a Sonic podcast from that URL soon. User:Radman622 16:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] X Japan GA review

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I have been working on the X Japan article, in order to address the issues you listed in your review. Could you have a look and tell me what remains to be done? A note on the jrockrevolution.com-based citations: That source has been subject of debate earlier, given its affiliation with the band/its management, which makes it inherently biased and sure enough, the prose on that site is nothing short of euphoric at times. Hence I have been trying to use it strictly as a first-party source, leaving anything in regard of notability, impact and success of the band to third-party sources. I hope article reflects these aspirations.

Also, the sound samples have been taken down for the time being. Finding sources for a style section might not be impossible, but given the band's origin, it could be trickier than with others, so I'd rather leave that for later and then re-upload the samples if need be. Another editor also suggested to work the samples into the History section – what's you opinion on that? – Cyrus XIII (talk) 22:45, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed, since Crush 40 might be even less known that X Japan, a style section for the latter should also be feasible. And the article probably needs it anyway, if it is ever to get to FA level someday. In other news, I've added collapsible track lists and smaller cover images to the Crush 40 article, as I have come to find a space-saving approach to be rather useful when embedding multiple album track lists and infoboxes in a longer article. But feel free to revert (or remove the "collapsed" option from the templates) if you disagree. – Cyrus XIII (talk) 11:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, those two single-disc track lists probably don't really blow up the article all that much (four-disc RPG scores, now that would be a different story) and with the "collapsed = yes" line removed, you still get a nicer list formatting. I left a message at Talk:X Japan; hopefully, Wednesday isn't asking too much. I might just get around to writing that section tonight, but I'll be busy with off-Wiki stuff tomorrow and Monday. – Cyrus XIII (talk) 15:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Just added the other sampled song as an examples for the group's heavier tracks (among others). Looking forward to that GA pass and if you have some pointers for what needs to be done for FA status, please mention them on the talk page. – Cyrus XIII (talk) 23:36, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chaos Emeralds

Judging from TTN's discussion with you, I figure I could help out with sources. Alright, the concept of the Chaos Emeralds and Super Transformation in general was inspired by East-Asian culture, specifically the Dragon Ball Z series. 7 Chaos Emeralds=Dragon Balls, and Super Transformation is Sega's nod to the Super Saiyan transformation in the same series. Hope that's enough for Chaos Emeralds and Super Transformation. – ZeroGiga (Contact) 14:38, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your GA nomination of Sega Mega Drive

[edit] Well earned

The VG Barnstar
For getting the Sega Mega Drive drive article to GA status. With a special mention for the work done improving the quality of the article's references. X201 (talk) 19:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow, thanks! Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 03:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to put in thanks to you as well. When I was working on the Megadrive article I'd got it to the point where it was mostly done bar the technical specifications section. Now it's all been neatly tidied up and everything sorted out I'd just like to tell you you've done an awsome job. Crimsonfox (talk) 21:32, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Anyway its quite simple to display the template, just type {{Sega Barnstar|Your text and sign}} and that's it :) -- CD 10:02, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mega Drive FA

I've spent the last couple of weeks going through loads of magazines looking for dates and figures for the article. I'm sure I've got a full article on the history of the console somewhere. All the dates and figures will need to be cited for the FA and the country sections might need a touch up. I've found some info on the European marketing campaign, and have more in other magazines. It's a subject that I think needs expanding in the article. As for FA I'm sure there will be someone on the VG project who would peer review it as if they were reading it as an FA to point out what might need tightening up. - X201 (talk) 15:56, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sonic task force

I will gladly be head of the task force.Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:51, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I have a few questions about the task force. Will the members be improving articles to get them to a certain class and once we've done our work will we run it by you? Like I did on E-123 Omega.Fairfieldfencer FFF 11:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback can only be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you do not want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions. Happy editing! Malinaccier (talk) 00:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Award

The Sega Project Barnstar
For staying with the sega project when i couldn't and basically guided helped and created where it is today. --Gaogier 21:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
this WikiAward was given to {{subst:PAGENAME}} by ~~~ on ~~~~~


I don't know where to start apologizing?? uhh I really don't know where to start... Gaogier 21:45, 21 May 2008

Gaogier, just tell VirtualSteve that you're sorry for the stuff with Doktor Wilhelm, the "sockpuppetry", and "usurping Chicken7's account". Make sure to mention that you know it was wrong to do these things and tell Steve that you plan to be a good contributor to the encyclopedia if you are unblocked (don't tell him you will be, because that can be seen as being cocky. Just say "if", and be nice to Steve. Hope that helps, and if Steve has any more questions for you, just answer honestly and be nice. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 20:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I would love to be unbanned but i don't know what it would mean to me anymore everything i ever had , all my pages and wikiprojects i was working on except for sega are gone, i would apologize to him because i know right and wrong more than i did then and i could come back contributing at my max but i'm just thinking i could come back and just retire and end my wikipedia span, the strongest prevail not he weakest and i am the weakest my chances of being unbanned may be higher but my determination of being unbanned is much lower to a point of almost giving up, i don't think i can go though with trying to apologize even if i mean every word of it, i am really sorry :(, thank you for trying but my wikiheart full of wikilove is broken and i probably won't start to mend its self for a year or so, i don't know :( :( im just hurt by wikipedia doing this to me... all i ever wanted to do was contribute to make a better wikipedia :(.... this is life and this is why i am upset, and don't misread that im unhappy about wikipedia doing that to me as that i am not sorry because i'm sorry i'm just upset as it says above. - Gaogier

You didn't appreciate the award i see :( - Gaogier

Oh btw i'm *not* sorry for the sock puppetry because they are my ips and not sock puppets, i am sorry for what i have done on my ips/account but i'm not sorry for the fact i have ips, if i could have no ip i would... - Gaogier

It wouldn't take that much to remake your projects, Gaogier. It's my fault they're gone, I MfD'd them after you left, because you left on such fiery terms with Doktor Wilhelm and I doubted you'd ever be back. You're here now, so why shouldn't you stay? You don't have to contribute to your max, I'll help you get back up. It is true the strongest prevail, but I've never really thought of you as the weakest when it comes to Wikipedia, Gaogier. You're one of the strong ones, but you've been knocked over. In either case, you should apologize and try to come back, even if it's only to retire. Would you rather leave Wikipedia as an accomplished user or a sockpuppeteer on an indefinite block? If you need my help with writing something to apologize, I'll write it for you and have you rubber stamp it and send it to VirtualSteve. You can still make a better Wikipedia, you've just hit a snag. We all live and learn. You have every right to be unhappy about getting blocked, I can understand that. But you can be sorry for the things you did, and that's all you need to apologize for. This is why I helped you with this appeal: I'm certain that if you apologize to VirtualSteve and you explain whatever he wants to know, you will be unblocked. The choice is yours, but I'll help you as far as I can. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 21:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
By the way, I really do appreciate the award, thanks. I'm sorry I forgot to say something, I'm doing about ten things at once right now.Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 21:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

As for the IP's, just explain it to Steve. You don't have to apologize, just make it clear to Steve what happened there. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 21:38, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Please can you write it and ill edit it to fit to what i mean, if thats okay?, also i let wkipedia take Temporary Gaogier from me, it felt wrong --Gaogier —Preceding unsigned comment added by who it already says just being a bot i'm too dumb to know at 12:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I can definitely do that for you, Gaogier. However, I'm not going to do it until VirtualSteve approves. He sees my talk page while we're discussing the matter. If he approves to let me do this for you, I will write it for you, leave it here so you can edit it, and then let you give it to VirtualSteve. Oh, and one thing: SIGN THE LETTER WITH YOUR IP, NOT YOUR NAME! Steve has already expressed to me that he doesn't like it when you sign "the name of a blocked user", even if it is yourself. I'll put your username in the letter somewhere so he knows it is you he is talking to, if he approves. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 01:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Gaogier, there's a new message for you in a new section here with an update. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:

Sorry for that , I made such a template some time ago and when I created this one I only copied the code and I forgot that to tell you that only works if you type {{Subst:Sega Barnstar|~~~~}}. Cheers-- CD 21:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just a heads up...

Just ran into a problem with Wikipedia:WikiProject Sega/Newsletter/Issue1. Don't forget to double-check that all your tags are closed; I just left a warning for a user that had the newsletter posted to their talk page, and because it wasn't fully closed, it ended up eating my comment. Just dropping you a note. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Huh, I thought I had sealed all of them. Oh well, thanks for fixing it, and I'll keep my eyes out for it in the future. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 23:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gaogier, this is for you.

“ My thoughts are that he should write it himself without any fear that I will be concerned by his level of expression. At this time he seems to think that he will definitely regain our confidence and so I will be interested in his feelings not in the exactitude of his words - but I am likely to want to ask him some other questions. I will also be discussing this with another senior admin as necessary. He should come to this page now and bite the bullet - courage is the first act of contrition and movement towards a changed future in such circumstances. „

—VirtualSteve

Steve wants you to write the letter yourself, but he doesn't want you to be afraid. Don't worry; as long as you're sincere, you'll be fine. And, if you need some help with the following questions Steve has for you, I'll be willing to help. I'm sorry I can't help with the letter, Gaogier, but I'm not going to give up on you. Sorry, and I'll try to help as much as I can. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


Okay then, i cannot do it sorry, thank you for trying :(, the proud ana happy Gaogier i once was would of been so proud of you, since then i lost alot of family members and had a brain zap to check my nerves that changed the way i act and decide things... guess i'm just not the same person now as i was when i was contributing, but i am sure i would of been very proud... bye -- IP
