It is felt that the article you created at Kev Boy is not suitable for a Wikipedia article, which are about notable and verifable people. I have moved it to User:Kev Boy, which is where users are free to write about themselves. You are at liberty to move it back into the (Main) namespace but bear in mind that if you do so, it is likely to be nominated for deletion. As a user page it is likely to survive untouched. -- Francs2000 14:59, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Valve Hammer Editor

Hey, I noticed you added that "Models can cast shadows, even in fullbright" to the Valve Hammer Editor page. I don't know what you mean by this, it's incorrect; fullbright by definition means no lighting and no shadows. Try it yourself. Models do not show or recieve lighting in any way. I'm going to revert this, please let me know if you can clarify or correct this, since as-is it's not right. Thanks. --midkay 05:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Can I see a screenshot? --midkay 23:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, dynamic shadows. Well, these don't require any beforehand computation, so yeah. I'm talking about static shadows, as is the article; I'll clarify it. :) --midkay 06:59, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Fanboy talk

Deleting original-research or unsourced "common knowledge" speculation about why a game succeeded or failed is fine, but please don't delete sourced sections on critical reception as "fanboy talk". --McGeddon (talk) 13:43, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Your edits are unconstructive. Push your points of view somewhere else. Fanboy talk? et tu brutus? xenocidic (talk) 14:16, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't understand your point about "cookie cutter" philosophy. Critical reception is a useful piece of context for any videogame article. I'm 100% behind you on deleting original research from fans, but these are reviews from reliable sources. --McGeddon (talk) 14:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
