User templates

I'm not sure you've entirely understood the purpose of Category:Edit user templates. Perhaps it has been deprecated, and if so you are right in deleting the categorization from custom userboxes. If you however delete the categorization simply because they are not in the Template namespace, I believe there has been a misunderstanding. Are you aware that templates do not have to reside in the Template namespace, but can also be called from other namespaces? In example, User:Jobjörn/Template -- that was written {{User:Jobjörn/Template}}.

So, what is your basis for deleting the categorization? Jobjörn (talk) 01:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Note: the user subpage used in the template example above has been deleted. Jobjörn (talk) 01:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Mistakes, sorry.

I may have accidentally deleted categorization from a few custom user templates by mistaking them for substituted templates. If I did this to you, I apoligize. HoCkEy PUCK (talk) 01:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't worry, no harm done. Happy editing! Jobjörn (talk) 01:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Unreal Tournament 3 page

I noticed you talked about vandalism on the UT3 page. I noticed that someone had added "evilengine.com/forums" to the references list, though I don't see anything in the article that cites the website, plus, how is there information on the front page of the forums? Also, the most recent article on the home page of the article is 2004. That was well over 4 years ago.

I'd also like to note that I am familiar with a user who calls himself "EvilEngine". He used to work with us in a mod group back in the days of Unreal Tournament 2004, specifically a mod called HaloUT. In this mod, EvilEngine had taken meshes and stole UV's from us and called them his own. Anyway, just wanted to let you know -- I am catching on these vandalism-things.

Proposed deletion of WinImage

The article WinImage has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unreferenced and I could find none in WP:RSes.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Proposed deletion of HFVExplorer

The article HFVExplorer has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
