Blockage

Hey, Lucky 6.9, unblock me, and I'll do almost anything. I would like to think that we should be forgiven for the things we do. If you too would wish to see a world like this, unblock me and not only will i not repost the articles, I will make it worth your while. And, as you can see, I have helpes to expand Wikipedia, and I would make a great addition for the video game categories.

"Pages I have made"

How the heck do you claim to have "made" Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker??? The page was added to the system in March '03, years before you were even active.

Administrator votes

I'm not really sure what you mean with "administrator", but since you asked on your user page, I'll vote against you becoming an administrator. You seem to be making quite a few typos and therefore unnecesary amount of edits of pages (if you notice said typos). This leads me to believe you may not be precise enough, not enough of a perfectionist, to have an administrative function here. I also notice you have made a number of small pages on relatively minor items in the Zelda series. Wikipedia is intented to be an encyclopedia, not a resource to help gamers acquire items on a specific game, there are other sites for that. Wikipedia readers probably aren't interested in a whole page about Link's left sock for instance. "Sticking up for the little people" or "deleting articles" in a heartbeat isn't what administrating is about. Finally I noticed you have been (at least what seems like) vandalizing pages repeatedly without explanation. In short, in my opinion you're not suited. I'm sorry if this isn't what you wanted to hear, but you're welcome for the vote.

Content blocker

Something just occured to me. Do you make some of your edits from a school or library computer with a content filter? Maybe censorware like NetNanny? Because you need to stop using that computer. At least use the "Show changes" button to check what you're doing before you submit( also, it wouldn't kill you to preview your work). Because when you make edits to certain pages, that filter is removing words and phrases like "bomb" or "adult link" from the article too. Assuming( and this is admittedly a significant, though reasonable, assumption) that the vandalism which is angering other wikipedians is not intentional on your part, this should help stop that.

Still, as mentioned above, your tendency to create and link to unencyclopedic articles about every tiny detail of a game is frowned on by the Wikipedia community. This behavior is not appreciated, and it's clear from comments and reverts that a growing number of other editors regard you as a nuisance.

The best article you've created is probably Woodstock, Portland, Oregon. I can't speak for other wikipedians, but it seems to me that the best thing would be for you to stop creating pages for a while, and focus on improvement of existing articles. If you feel a component of a large article might deserve to be spun-off, make a note suggesting it on that article's talk page. Eventually, you'll get a feel for the sort of things which most people will agree deserve their own articles.

Perhaps I'm overstepping my bounds by somewhat contradicting Wikipedia's policy of encouraging editors to be bold. But the fact of the matter is, you've been blocked before, and taking a conservative approach for a while is probably in your best interest. I would much rather see your eagerness put to good use improving existing articles, than see you blocked or banned for irritating and unproductive behavior. But at the same time, your current pattern simply can not continue. In addition, you might benefit from checking out the links Poli left in the first comment on this page. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 10:37, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

Advice

Thank you for the advice. I will definently use it. And by the way, you were right, i do have a blockage thing. Sorry. [unsigned comment by DiddyKong1234 on WikidSmaht's talk page 02:54, September 10, 2005 (UTC)]

You're quite welcome. :-) If you have are unsure of whether a contribution is suitable, you will find many editors, including myself and the admins, willing to help, so don't hesitate to ask questions. I also recommend you use the article talk pages, particularly if you are restoring an edit which someone else had reverted. Don't forget to type four tildes( ~~~~) when you leave a comment, this will automatically sign your username or IP, and the time and date. That way we don't have to check the history to figure out who left a comment. In case you didn't know, the key with the tilde( ~) is to the left of the number 1 on most keyboards in the US, and you'll press shift to use it. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 03:58, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

DiddyKong, just recently you created a page called Song of Storms. I think that is a good example of a page that needn't really be on Wikipedia. It it is a mere 3, short paragraphs, which is in this case a clear indication about the importance of the subject, and by extension an indication on how useful a page could be. It's also only relevant to a couple of games (one could argue only 1), so it doesn't warrant an entire article. An article on Link makes more sense, since he features in numerous games, has a story about him (multiple ones even), and it's more general. All the different Zelda song pages are closer to walkthroughs. I'm obviously not an authority on Wikipedia, and this is just my opinion, but I think the majority of Wikipedians would agree. Retodon8 01:57, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

I second that. Really, these articles are not the sort of thing to make you popular or respected, which is what will be necessary to accomplish your stated goal of becoming an admin. Please consider whether something is really significant and encyclopedic before creating an article. The information, however, is usually( not always) accurate and valid, so you should consider learning to write for Wikibooks, as I and others suggested on the AfD for one of your strategy-intensive articles. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 04:56, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

You did it again, your content blocker removed stuff from the Link (Legend of Zelda), article and probably others. Preview. Your. Edits. BEFORE. Saving. Use the "Show changes" button, too, so you can catch alterations you might have missed.
Also, it's really not a good idea to overload an article with images. I'm not saying you should remove it, but makes sure each image you use really warrants inclusion in an article. Consider shrinking your images to be more in line with other screen shots on the page. And remember: all images are supposed to have an image copyright tag. You need to add those to all the images you've uploaded. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 18:12, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

Administrator question

You left me a message a few days ago, asking how to become an administrator. I'm glad to see that you've opened up a user page, and you're editing under that name, rather than an anonymous IP address. That helps. I want to say, though, that (in my opinion), it will be an uphill climb to be an admin right now. Your history of vandalizing articles is pretty recent, and it will take many quality edits to overcome that. The note on your userpage indicates that you want to be an admin partly because you want to contribute to the videogame articles. You can do that without being an administrator. I also get the feeling that one of the reasons you want to be admin is so that you can try to resurrect some of the articles you've written that have been deleted. I don't think that's an appropriate use of admin powers.

My advice is to edit carefully for a while, watching out for your grammar and spelling so others don't have to clean up after you. Listen to some of the other advice that has been given on your talk page. Work on building a good reputation, rather than rushing toward adminship. Joyous (talk) 02:46, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Zeldalink.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Zeldalink.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear.

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Tuskk.JPG

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Tuskk.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hookshot1.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hookshot1.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:24, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
