[edit] flagicons

I did not in fact know that. Do you know why? MrKIA11 (talk) 02:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I really don't know. Perhaps it is something to ask in the Talk page of the Article guidelines. Strongsauce (talk) 02:21, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] LocoRoco‎

You removed a large sourced paragraph without giving any reason. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 11:34, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

See the talk page. This criticism was discussed a year ago and no one felt the need to add it in. Also, issuing vandalism4 randomly is out of line. Strongsauce (talk) 11:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I never said Directing, I said Writing, there is a difference. 00:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)00:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Naers (talk)

Here is what you put into the article, 2008 Kojima has announced there will be a Metal Gear Solid movie, schedule release date for 2009. Director is Kurt Wimmer. [1] Strongsauce (talk) 00:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] peacocking on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue

it was not peacocking dammit, you've removed useful infos regarding update of the imported version. :/ Cliché Online (talk) 18:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

The only thing in that blog post was the confirmation of a new car, Ferrari F2007. You're stretching out a small tidbit (albeit "important") of information into more than it is. Also, In response to the growing buzz appearing on popular video game blogs around the globe is definitely a form of "peacocking" as there doesn't seem to be some sort of "huge buzz" from blogs around the globe.
Also this quote, "Sometimes even the best kept secrets seem to find their way out - that's just the nature of the beast - so it was no surprise (at least not much) when co-workers started to email us links to leaked Gran Turismo 5 Prologue screenshots… and the rumor mill it had kick-started." is not something that really needs quoting. Strongsauce (talk) 19:02, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
no buzz? where were you last week? checked kotaku? ps3news? ign? gamekult (france)? these are huge.
the quote is a confirmation of the buzz's importance i think. anyway what about removing the info about updating the jap version? this is the most important part. Cliché Online (talk) 19:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Can you give me actual pages regarding the fact that the Ferrari F2007 information was "leaked?" No page on Kotaku mentions this, with only this article mentioning that GT5 features will be later "patched" in. What are you referring to when you say, "buzz?" buzz about the game? Strongsauce (talk) 19:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
i'll give you the links, you want me to waste my time now. what about threespeech? i gave the link for this one Cliché Online (talk) 19:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
i think the section on famitsu (episodic content) has no source at all and is too much extended what about cutting lines in there instead? Cliché Online (talk) 19:11, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
it is not that the section you added in was too long, there was just more in that section than in the actual articles linked to. Strongsauce (talk) 19:18, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
phrase like "North American users will get the chance to race new cars" are not supposed to be on wikipedia. this is peacocking.
can't you read japanese? citroen, ford GT etc. are mentioned on the jap screenshots published by threespeech, this was meant to tell: hey lads the jap game will receive a car update. "update" is the most important part in the leak section, now it does not appear anymore, reading this no one will know updates are scheduled. Cliché Online (talk) 19:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
No I can't read Japanese. This link that you used as your source provides screenshots of the Ferrari F1. I don't see how posted screenshots will tell fans, "hey these cars are coming in update X" Strongsauce (talk) 19:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
i've answered on the article's talk. Cliché Online (talk) 19:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GT5P

there are no photo stage, no~r photo thing in GT5P, this is simply My Page interface. locked content compares with the jap demo, previously locked contents on the jap version were available on the sema version. Cliché Online (talk) 02:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you rephrase what you just said in complete sentences? I cannot understand any of that shorthand at all. Strongsauce (talk) 02:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
i'm removing these infos from the article anyway because they are not important by now. Cliché Online (talk) 02:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
check the history log and check what i've done in this article! Cliché Online (talk) 02:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
that's it for today, try to not mess with the article more than you have already done. (check the GT5P demo cover's poster...) Cliché Online (talk) 03:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Metal Gear Solide Mobile

Hi, I understand why the Japanese title may be relevant now. But why do you remove Category:Video games developed in the United Kingdom? Megata Sanshiro (talk) 15:35, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Apologies, didn't see that that was part of the edit. I've restored the category. Strongsauce (talk) 15:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting those spelling mistakes so quickly. I simply can't spell at all sometimes... -- Sabre (talk) 15:51, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem! Glad to have helped. Strongsauce (talk) 15:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wageslave (talk · contribs)

Greetings. As you no doubt have noticed, a user by the name of Wageslave has recently been maliciously editing PlayStation, Nintendo, and Apple related articles on Wikipedia. I have almost had enough of this behaviour, and if it continues I will not hesitate to initiate an RFC about him. Here, I have compiled a short report on his POV edits since he joined. This report will be used as a basis for a future RFC, should he continue his behaviour - though I hope the very existence of this draft convinces him to stop. If you have anything to add to the draft, do not hesitate to add it. Thank you.

[edit] ESRB

Hello! I'm aware "Rating Pending" is a rating used by the ESRB, but many articles include it, even if the game has not finished development. If RP is included under ESRB, why not TBA under every other ratings board? RP doesn't contribute much to the article, especially in the form it's currently used - like you say, it's not really worth including just for ratings sake. If all instances of RP were ref'd with a source saying the game had been submitted for rating, that might be ok. Thanks! Fin©™ 11:03, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I think I'll stick the word "proper" into my "rating pending is not a rating" spiel, bit more accurate then =) Fin©™ 11:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Negreanu

In the interview from the YouTube link ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu5rCrK3OBY ) he talks about his parents life in Romania and his past. Daniel says he is romanian. It's an essential reference where I added it (after 'Daniel Negreanu's parents, Annie and Constantin, moved from Romania to Canada in 1967'). No reason to remove it. Also, the fact that it's in romanian language proves the article's point, that he was born in Canada but he's basically romanian. Also, it's not a copyright violation since I uploaded that video. And I can assure you it's unique on all YouTube, no one else could have uploaded that, I edited it from a longer interview and made it to fit 10 mins so it can be uploaded on YouTube. Since it's my video and I grant permission to anyone to use it in any way they like, it's not a copyright violation. And the romanian language just proves the fact that Daniel's romanian, knowing the language etc, which sustains the article's point. But that's a secondary thing. What matters is the copyright, and I own the video. So I really think you should add it back, because it's an important reference. Visibilia (talk) 10:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Centurion Page

Hi Strongtalk,

First off, I do not see what the problem is. I do not believe the link violates any of the rules. It is a useful site that is used by members of the Flyertalk community, which is one of the most used forums for Centurion information. It contains useful and up to date information and has the only accurate comparison guides around for high end credit cards and AMEX cards. All information is right from AMEX and other benefit books of other credit cards.

However, you have a reference such as amex-black.com which does not provide information about the card except for who has it. I believe that the comparison site is much more of a reference than this and a lot of your other references. So is the geocities centurion site. I think that the centurion page definately needs to be modified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Centurion101 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

It has been a few days and yet you have not responded to my post. However you have removed my link once again. Not only that, but you allow MSITE's comparison which just comapres centurion cards from all around the world, and is not a complete comparison. Yet you do not allow a site that has a very useful comparison... I would appreciate a response.

Centurion101 (talk) 15:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Look you need to stop readding it in if you're really asking me about why I removed your links. The fact that you posted a message on my talk page and have promptly readded your site in twice, I assume that you are just ignoring why I have removed your link. I assume you are talking about the link added as M-Site CENTURION COMPARISON on the page which I indeed did remove from the site from this edit here but Wikipedia seems to have readded the link when I removed your link. Regardless just because one thing that is not allowed on a Wikipedia article is in it does not make it okay for you to put your inappropriate link into the site as well. Your site has information that is unverifiable and in particular is a link that should be avoided per WP:LINKSTOAVOID. So please stop linkspamming your site into that Wikipedia article. Strongsauce (talk) 17:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

First of all, it is not my site. However, I do know the person who owns the site, and all the information comes DIRECTLY from the Password Protected Centurion Site, the AMEX Platinum site, the rewards gold site. The site does not violate any of wikipedias rules. I am not only talking about the MSITE but also the amex-black site, which has a lot more unverifiable information then both MSITE and the googlepages site. You did not do any homework here. If you looked at the americanexpress.com/platinum page you would see where the information comes from.

The reason I added the site back is after several days you had not responded to me, I added it back, and you removed it again without a response to me. I suggest you go through all the references and links as, there are some very questionable sources in there, and you are removing the ones that actually are useful, such as MSITE, Life of Luxury, and flyertalk (unfortunately you cant really verify flyertalk and that might be against wiki rules). So I ask you to do your homework. If you want I can get Jblackbelt to send you the info on the chairman card and his source for the centurion card. You can look at the platinum and rewards gold site and verify the site yourself. However, I suggest you verify other sites as well. If your not willing to do that then tell me who can.

I have a serious problem with the fact that your not letting a legitiment site on the links but you are letting others that are just a blog about the card on there.

Centurion101 (talk) 17:21, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Edits to Wikipedia are timestamped so it is pretty easy to see you readded the link back multiple times before you posted the first time on my talk page. Here is the edit where I removed your link at 15:21 on April 27th, you readd your link back in the next day at 13:08 on April 28th which was promptly removed by XLinkBot in this edit. You then readd the link again 2 minutes later, here and user Beetstra reverts your edits once again. So finally after trying to readd the link back 2 more times you FINALLY post on my page. Your site is not a legitimate site,the infromation that you are posting comes from behind a password protected so it either violates copyright rules or cannot be added because the data in unverifiable. If you have a problem or feel that your site is not spam start a discussion. If you feel other links in the article is spam or should not be there, you can remove those as well. Regarding those other links, Inclusion of one spam link is not a reason to include another. Strongsauce (talk) 17:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Also please point out to me what rules on the links to avoid page this site breaks. As again I look through it, and it does not break any of them. Centurion101 (talk) 17:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

That password protected page, which you have as a link on the wikipedia centurion card page, is where most of the information from centurion comes from. You can ask anyone with a centurion card to verify that information on that page. A friend of mine has the benefits book for the card. I'd be happy to get that and scan it in. Meanwhile, all the others can be verified. I have a pdf for the chairman card that Jblackbelt gave me, and the platinum can be seen at americanexpress.com/platinum

Please point me in the right direction on where to start a discussion about my site. I also would like to ask how amex-black.com is a "verified" source as that information is posted as a blog by a person, and has no verification at all. I'd be happy to start a discussion on this as well if you would be so kind as to show me there. I have tried to remove those but references apparently cannot be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Centurion101 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I seriously question Strongsauce's motivations for his edits

Notice ArmyMajor posted this both on my talk page and the talk page for Jamie Gold's article. Rather than undoing the edit or discussing why it was deleted he felt it was necessary to come and attack me personally. However his source was invalid since it did not mention Jamie Gold at all. Upon further searching you could find that Jamie Gold was hosting it but you have to view the website's source to see it. So either ArmyMajor found out this fact before the rest of the Internet or he has an interest in Jamie Gold and/or is involved in the event which was the reason I undid his edit in the first place. For the discussion see Jamie Gold's talk page

This morning, I made the following revision to the Jamie Gold article: "Jamie Gold will be hosting the Celebrity Poker Tournament at the Playboy Mansion on May 18, 2008. This event will benefit the Urban Health Institute."

Strongsauce promptly deleted my revision, with the following reason: "sounds like an advertisement.".

It is interesting that Strongsauce's talk page contains a dozen other complaints about the "undo's" that Strongsauce has made in the past 6 weeks (since March 17, 2008).

When I see Jamie Gold at the charity tournament in two weeks, I will be sure to tell him that a Wikipedia "policeman" did not find Jamie's contribution to this charity event to be relevant to the Jamie Gold article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ArmyMajor (talk • contribs) 20:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry, I'm not sure if this is where I respond to you, but I would like to say sorry for the previous vandalism. Someone hacked into my account and my changes. I will try not to let that happen again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.13.111.167 (talk) 01:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mgs4us cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mgs4us cover.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. BJBot (talk) 12:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] sports agent

I find it interesting that you think you should determine who should or should not be listed in the ice hockey section under sports agent. There was no "spamming" as you stated in your note to me. There was no promotion of a service. The fact is that the people listed are legitimate Hockey Only Agents and not only should they be listed, but they deserve to be listed. It is a discriminatory practice you are engaged in and as Wikipedia is a non-profit 501c3 such practices can place that tax status at risk. The page will again be edited to provide more agent information from more than one company. This is more than fair. Should you wish to discuss this further please feel free to e-mail me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stick2700 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't get it, are you saying you were not consistently spamming your company and then now are threatening to take away Wikipedia tax status? Strongsauce (talk) 23:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Also here are your edits where you spam your company website. [2][3][4]. Just because you are a ice hockey agency does not mean you "deserve" to be listed on Wikipedia. Strongsauce (talk) 23:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

There was no threat, merely a statement of fact that your edits seem to be those of a person with a vested interest in keeping truthful information from the public. In any event when I get more time I will re-edit the page with information about Agents from multiple companies and I believe that should resolve the issue. If you object to this feel free to e-mail me. Stick2700 (talk) 16:41, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Stick2700

I don't belong to any hockey team nor do I belong to any agency. Seems that you are the one with a vested interest. As I have pointed out you or whatever IP that is has attempted several times to spam that hockey agency. Just because you are a hockey agent/agency does not mean you are necessarily notable. The fact that you try to spam Wikipedia makes me think you are not on the up and up.
