For months, this person won't stop japanizing Wikipedia, I've told him many times to stop and showed him the rules per WP:MOS-AM and WP:NCVG, but he won't listen and many users have told him to stop it, may you please do something about him, because he's becoming rather ignorant and he is not following the manual of style at all or listening to any of the input he's removed from his own talk page. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 02:07, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I'll look into it. I've been unhappy about some of this users other edits anyways... Sergecross73 msg me 02:13, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you very much, this person has been pretty stressful to deal with, I'm on my third revert and can't do anything about it for now. It looks like he put a retirement notice on his page, that's the second time he's done that and he still came back to do the same nonsense all over again, -_-. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 02:36, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Is the problem across multiple articles? Or mainly about the Turbo Duo? With that article, while I admit, a Japanese translation isn't necessary if its not originally a Japanese product...but we shouldn't be removing entire sections about the Japanese region release, its release date, etc. Its still okay to mention that. (Unless there's a dispute on whether or not the content is correct or not.) Sergecross73 msg me 14:18, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I've been following this user as well. I think they're operating in good faith, but don't know they're being disruptive. MP6969 has been warned multiple times, after which they blank their talk page. Any potential block should be short-term with a clear explanation of the reason why they are blocked. There "may" be potential here. If they keep going after the block, then maybe there isn't. In fairness, I did warn a user leaving a message on MP6969's talk page that was practically a personal attack, and I have seen the on-again, off-again retired tag too. --McDoobAU93 14:43, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, you can find some of them in my move logs, I'm not saying we should remove entire Japanese sections, but Japanizing everything that's been given official English Titles is unneccessary, since this is an English Wiki, the Japanese titles should be mentioned in a sentence like this for example, English Title->"Kirby's Adventures" then next to it, "(星のカービィ 夢の泉の物語, Hoshi no Kābī: Yume no Izumi no Monogatari?, lit. "Kirby of the Stars: The Story of the Fountain of Dreams") in Japan". Unless the game wasn't originally released in Japan, a Japanese title or it's translations isn't neccessary. Changing the name of the article and switching names to make the Japanese domininant on an English Wiki is unneccessary, unless that game was just released inside of Japan and never imported in English, then that's when we use Japanese Titles. The Japanese Wiki uses their own titles and an English Wiki uses their official titles whether their the same as the original or not. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 16:07, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I just wanted to confirm the situation, and that, yes, I agree with the removal of the titles, but not all of the other stuff that you're removing in your edits. Sergecross73 msg me 16:09, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I was tired at those moments and the words kept getting scrambled and stuff, after ten tries. Next time, I'l just use Ctrl F and find those specific changes to help with specific things that shouldn't be there, I just hope I don't collaps from exhaustion, but I'l try. --Vaati the Wind Demon (talk) 16:14, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Thecalling2002

Has evaded his/her block with Thecallinggrunge (talk · contribs). Can I know which user I was reverting? © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 23:27, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

I'm not surprised, this guy has made a ton of accounts, all doing the same exact thing, and then always acts blown away that I accuse him of doing it. I'm not sure I understand your question though. Are you asking which his original account was? Sergecross73 msg me 23:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

They wanna know who's the master behind the accounts in this SPI. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 23:48, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Haha, oh wow, I've blocked a bunch of those on that SPI list...and yet, there's so many more that I, or other Admin, before I was one, blocked that aren't on there. I'll have to look it up, I don't even remember the original name, he's been doing this for years under so many different user names. (And yet, has made little to no progress with any of their efforts.) Sergecross73 msg me 00:49, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Xbox One Edit warring over lead section "50% as powerful".

It was a troll instigating the edit warring, and kind of seems malicious to me. If you follow "Shrine Maiden" you can see what he/she was doing.—CKY2250 ^ταικ 14:34, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I've had several problems with her in the past. She doesn't always seem to have the best of intentions...but the discussion does seem like it could be a recurring problem. I could see many a fanboy trying to argue over its use, so it's probably good to have a discussion about it prevalent on the talk page (or archives). Sergecross73 msg me 14:38, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Then should a "do not edit, new comments make a new section" green background template be placed on the discussion?—CKY2250 ^ταικ 14:42, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

If you feel that's necessary, I have no problem with it. Even collapsing it, I'm not extremely against it, I just think it could maybe help avoid future problems if it were more openly readable. Sergecross73 msg me 14:46, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Big Bang Theory

While this is not a formal move request, I has evolved to be a dispute. I would like to have a non-biased outside view. It was first not intended to be a move request. If you could read through this and it appears to be a good grounds for a formal move request, I will file for one. Make sure you read it entirely due to that nature of how I feel about the dialog. Thanks —CKY2250 ^ταικ 15:33, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

• I've looked it over some. I can see both sides to this one. On one hand, you're right, they're very similar, and one's clearly based off of the other. On the other hand, I can see their point too, albeit similar titles, disambiguation terms, like "(television show)" usually aren't assigned unless the titles are exactly the same. Also, sadly, the world cares more about sitcoms than science, so sometimes that happens when you're dealing with science vs. pop culture type scenarios.
• You're free to start up a requested move on it; worst case scenario is, it fails, right? They said its been discussed before; make sure it didn't close a like within the last few weeks, or it could be considered disruptive to retry again so quickly. Otherwise, consensus can change, so there's no problem in bringing it up again. (However, when you've got a few people who are against it strongly like they are, they may end up being the first couple !votes in the RM, which could direct the lest of the discussions if people see a bunch of "Opposes" right off the bat. But that can't be helped. Just saying it could happen. Sergecross73 msg me 16:39, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Cool thanks for the reply. There is no way my points would win so it may be best to not start it and waste more space on the wikipedia hard drives :P.—CKY2250 ^ταικ 16:52, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough, it may have been an uphill battle. Anyways, feel free to ask for help whenever. I've been in a bit of a busy patch, but still... Sergecross73 msg me 18:24, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Sonic Adventure 2

Hi. Since I have just returned from my two-month semi retirement, as I find Wikipedia to be enjoyable and I have decided that I should not get past issues get to me anymore, I have decided to continue to help work on Sonic Adventure 2. FYI, there is a discussion about source ideas for the development section that Czar was concerned about. Czar also suggested that we should discuss this on the talk page. Cheers! Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:09, 20 October 2013 (UTC) −

Glad to see you're back! A little busy at the moment, but I'll look into it later. Sergecross73 msg me 01:39, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. On an irrelevant note, Fladrif, the user who had issues with me back in late March unfortunately returned as 75.7.198.193 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) in June to continue his personal attacks and was blocked for evasion and his talk page access was disabled. I just want to keep you informed about what happened after that ANI discussion in April. It's always a sad day when an indef blocked user returns as a sockpuppet to continue his disruption. However, indef blocked users, admins and arbitrators are people too. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 18:51, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, that is too bad. At least his use of that IP was short lived and months ago. If he returns more, let me know, and I can block him for block evasion. Sergecross73 msg me 19:13, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again. In my view, Fladrif's attitude was off putting from the beginning and has been here since 2008, I for much longer than that. I really cannot stand this turkey posting ridiculous, hateful and venomous comments. If he returns, I would report him to SPI or ANI with differences (but beware the boomerang effect!) However, I do not seek revenge against anyone. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 19:51, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, its one thing to be dedicated to the project due to supporting the cause, but it always amazes me how people put in months and years terrorizing the project, or causing trouble through sockpuppets or constant vandalism. I don't know how they motivate themselves to do it. Sergecross73 msg me 21:05, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

I remember supporting an indefinite block and called his conduct profoundly detrimental and also took a look at the WT:BASC discussion which involved dramatic heckling towards admins, users and ArbCom members alike on his part before the ANI discussion happened. He is keen to find fault with other users (even myself), but seemed to be completely oblivious to his own bad behavior, which is deeply rooted and, in my opinion, demoralized nearly everyone (including myself). I felt that participating around his presence would sometimes cause arguments if I ever criticize his behavior around him, but that ANI discussion did fully convince me that he was being disruptive. His IP geolocates to Lansing, Michigan as with some of his previous IPs. But things change, and I have not and will not take any advice, threats or comments from disruptive editors (even Fladrif) anymore, as they are very unhelpful in my opinion. Anyway, I'm still busy with regards to editing anime and video game articles as well as Sonic. Best wishes, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Image opinion

I was wondering if you could give your opinion on an image I am questioning adding. Could you let me know which image you feel represents the Batman: Arkham page better: the one currently on the page, or this one at the top of the article? The one on the page now is more neutral, thus applying generally, but the one in the article, I feel, is a better representation of the main games, as it incorporates the design used by each. Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:42, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this, but I agree. I think either is usable, but the "collection" is probably the best option, as its meant to represent the series a little moreso. Sergecross73 msg me 14:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Do admins ever review other admins

I have been watching this

• User_talk:Epicgenius#Stop
• User_talk:Epicgenius#Please_stop_following_me_around
• User_talk:Beyond_My_Ken#Your edit summary on Peter Stuyvesant

User:Epicgenius doesn't seem to be the harassor, he has only been editing pages and User:Beyond_My_Ken attacked him on his page. It seems like the admins that got involved had not went through all of the problems, page edits (why and what was changed). Then blocked him, vsus beyond my ken, who broke a WP:3RR and received no punishment on here WP:AN3. —CKY2250 ^ταικ 02:33, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

• I'm not familiar with either of these editors, but it seems like both of their interactions are a little more aggressive than necessary. BWilkins, the admin who blocked him, can be rather difficult to deal with as well. I'd rather sit this one out and not get involved. Hopefully they'll all just stop interacting with each other and move on.
• I've seen you say, in passing, that you're thinking about leaving Wikipedia. I hope you'll reconsider. Rather than getting caught up in this sort of nonsense, try to find something to work on that is of interest of you, and not a likely area of confrontation or contentious editing. (I personally tend to pick an obscure video game or band article, that's relative inactive.) Perhaps that will help you enjoy the project moreso? I mean, since we're not paid, or required to be here, the most important thing really is enjoying oneself.
• Sorry, I imagine this wasn't the help you were really asking for. Regardless, I hope you'll consider it. Feel free to keep talking to me about this or other things. Sergecross73 msg me 15:57, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Trouble in Canada (official languages)

Hi there,

Just wanted to ask for some assistance on the Canada article, someone is bizarrely holding up edits regarding what Canada's official languages are. If you'd be able to help, it would be most appreciated (see the talk page under "official languages"). Knoper (talk) 03:30, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Sérieusement!? ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 03:34, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Certes oui. Knoper (talk) 04:12, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Whoa, how'd I get wrapped up into this one? This is pretty far out of my area of expertise, not being a Canadian resident, or ever really working on articles about entire countries. The people you're arguing with do have a point though, unless the argument is over something truly ludicrous (like saying the official language is Klingon or something) then you should probably be adhering to WP:BRD and wait to make changes once there's a consensus on what to do... Sergecross73 msg me 13:54, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi there, just saw you were an admin (you commented on the page from someone from my region of Canada) and wanted an opinion. Thanks for the help, and sorry to bug you. Knoper (talk) 16:31, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

No problem, I was just curious :) - Sorry I couldn't help more, but I don't really know the content stuff, so I can really do is just give some advice on following policy/guideline stuff. If you guys aren't able to get a consensus, you could always try an WP:RFC, and/or ask for input from a relevant Wikiproject... Sergecross73 msg me 16:40, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Re: civility and personal attacks

No, I haven't, because I've never stooped so low as to mudsling! All I've gotten is folks like you telling me I have and waving the banstick, continuing to dodge and lie about the issue, as if this is all some giant game. There's absolutely no explanation for it except there's some kind of not-so-hidden agenda on someone's part (obviously not mine, I've been pretty honest). Clearly whoever it is doesn't (want to) understand this, but things like that are going to kill this place; it's already driven off or threatened to drive off many knowledgeable and courteous individuals.

I just want the hostility to stop, I want people to actually sit down and do research and debate how this place is supposed to work because all of these things are how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Please, all I ask is that you read what I say and at least try to discuss any given issue (if only because I have always shown that much respect to you and to everyone else)... or that you leave me out of your little games entirely. Despatche (talk) 20:03, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Look, plain and simple: You cannot refer to people as filth or autismal freaks PERIOD. Absolutely no circumstance justifies this. You've been warned, and anythings anywhere near that will lead to a block, because you know better, and these offense are extremely flagrant and offensive. Sergecross73 msg me 19:57, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Never mind that you're trying to say I've done something recent by pointing out something old I've done, YOU CAUSED THAT! From the beginning, it has always been this kind of dodging and grasping and lying to my face for the sole purpose of... what? Making sure I am completely irredeemable to any casual passerby? Why do you hate me so much, and why are you surprised when I show how much I hate you in return? Why are you allowed to freely do what I cannot?

How about we put aside something you should have confronted me about ages ago and talk about why you're bothering me now? Despatche (talk) 20:06, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're ranting about. I'm saying, no more personal attacks, or you're blocked. The end. Personal attacks, which is the equivalent of name-calling here, is something I've never done to anyone here. You have been warned about it many times. By myself, and KieferSkunk, for example. Its way out of line. Don't do it. That's all there is to be said on this, no other issue. Sergecross73 msg me 20:10, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

How about stop talking bullshit? Please! Stop bothering me about things that aren't actually happening, or about shit you should have dealt with a long time ago. Stop lying to my face and ignoring every little thing I say as if there are no problems whatsoever. You have not warned me about anything, because it's completely uncalled for and so you have no authority to do so. Despatche (talk) 20:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

The link just above, shows an example where I warned you for calling people "retarded". KieferSkunk, another admin, agreed it was a violation. Here's a link again. Also, The Stick Man just warned you about calling people "worthless bastards". Back in June 2013, Soetermans warned you about getting heated/profanity/ALLCAPS in discussions. I can go find more difs if I need to, but I know there's been many have warned you about your erratic/angry discussions in the past. Stop attacking people, and the problem is gone. Sergecross73 msg me 20:28, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

No, the problem is not gone, because you're bothering me about it now. Why now? What did I do? WHY DO YOU KEEP IGNORING WHAT I SAY? How hard is that to understand? If I seem like a "hostile" person, it's YOUR FAULT, because you keep pulling this TOTAL BULLSHIT. Despatche (talk) 20:29, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I'm bringing it up today because I just noticed comments like this that you made yesterday on today. I noticed this because I was looking through User:The Stick Man's contributions. We've collaborated in the past, and happened to notice his warning to you. I have no idea how I've inspired these personal attacks you left a day ago on these IP's talk pages, we haven't interacted in weeks prior to todays warning, and the attacks were done before the warning... Sergecross73 msg me 20:36, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I have a better idea.

Come to IRC, or at least freenode itself, so we can PM. This, and pretty much every problem you have ever had with me, could be settled a lot easier in real time chat. Despatche (talk) 20:32, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Again, I have no personal trouble with you. As an Admin, I have to warn you about your blatant personal attacks you make in public. I have opposed some of your requested moves, but that's just because they don't follow Wikipedia's policy on naming conventions. I don't seek you out, I comment them because they appear on my watchlist. I've got almost 300 articles on there, and you're constantly trying to rename articles in relation to Sega, Nintendo, or JRPGs. That's a good bulk of my watchlist. Sergecross73 msg me 20:39, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

No. IRC. Please... Despatche (talk) 20:40, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't use IRC, and the above sums up everything I'd say anyways. Please think clearly here; what else do you expect to find. What possible motivation would there be for me to have a problem with some random person on the internet? That you killed my dad or impregnated my sister? I have no reason to have any issue with you. I'm just warning to follow policy. Anything else is a fabrication of your own mind. Sergecross73 msg me 20:41, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

You say you "have no reason to have any issue with me", and guess what? THAT'S WHY I'M SO ANGRY WITH YOU! There is no obvious motivation, there's nothing! I've said this countless times; you did not listen then, and you will not listen now. You're also refusing to actually discuss the issue, even though IRC is as simple as webchat.freenode.net, because you keep thinking there are no issues. You simply do not care about Wikipedia, and that is the real end-of-story.

I am done with this, I am done with you and your constant abuse and your mindless bit-by-bit destruction of this place, the only place anyone cares about. Despatche (talk) 20:49, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

I have absolutely no idea how to answer you in a way that would make you happy. I just told you what the situation was, and you dismissed it wholesale as "lies". You insult people ("filth", "worthless bastard", etc.) and you don't understand Wikipedia's conventions for naming articles. These are my only problems with you. These are the only times we ever even interact. I don't know what else to tell ya. I outwardly apologize to Wikipedia if these things bring out it "destruction", as you say, though... Sergecross73 msg me 20:55, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

It was me (self-proclaimed "The Greatest Dynamic IP version 1400.000 Alpha Male") who actually used the words "worthless bastard" and so on. One thing I don't understand (and probably never will?) is when someone use the word "autistic", usernames (don't feel like using the word "people" now) here on Wikipedia get all wet and crazy. "OH IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! AUTISM THIS AUTISM THAT, BLOCK YOU NOW". --46.50.126.30 (talk) 22:50, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

This is the last thing I will say on this subject. I don't know why I chose to get involved in the first place when my interactions with Despatche has been relatively minimal, and I really don't see the point in taking part in it further. So after this, I'm done.

Despatche, I think what you want to do is a good thing. You want to standardize titles for game articles that don't get enough love. You want to improve Wikipedia. I think everyone can agree that you are here for a good reason, the same reason plenty of us are on here. When someone told you that you should be following a certain, previously agreed-upon policy (the infamous WP:COMMONNAME), I'm sure you started out as very civil and polite and genuinely wanted to know why such a policy is in place. I understand that you were frustrated (Has happened with me) and you continued to disagree (Has happened with me).

But the answer is not to rage against everyone, call the policy a "lie", accuse other of lies and of destroying Wikipedia, and take everything said in disagreement with you personally. What you should do is swallow your pride and realize that the only thing at stake is an article title. Look at the big picture. Your constant resistance against one policy has made other editors mad, who then tell you off, which makes you mad, which makes you continue to resist the policy, which makes other editors mad, and so on. You could do the right thing and just accept that that's the way things are done here and try to get along with it. (And for the record, the goal of the policy, at the way I interpret it, is not to name a "correct" or an "official" title, so calling it a "lie" does nothing when it doesn't claim to tell the "truth" anyway. It's just a preference for what is considered the most recognizable title for whatever thing.) You cause less trouble for yourself and you cause less trouble for everyone else.

tl;dr Please just get over it, it's not the end of the world and it sure isn't the contributing to the destruction of Wikipedia.

And to the IP: I may be violating the "no name-calling" policy here a bit, but to put it bluntly, it shouldn't be so hard to understand that being a total asshole is looked down upon in here.

Aaaaand I'm done. Happy editing (And no, just in case you were thinking it, I'm not being sarcastic here). TheStickMan^[✆Talk] 23:20, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

• IP, (presumably User:Hydao?) do you really need an explanation why "autismal freak" is not okay to say? Complain all you like about someone's editing habits, but as soon as you generalize it to be attributed to a group people, its not okay. It's no different than how racist/sexist/prejudiced remarks aren't allowed. Sergecross73 msg me 00:11, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

For all your hard work

I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you've done on Wikipedia, especially in the videogames section.

Help me understand

Hi Serge. Please help me understand: When I tried to explain what happened about Fladrif after his block to an administrator and his behavior as a whole to someone, he said that it was pointless ranting, which I felt was unintended on my part. Can you give your honest opinion about it, please? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:58, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

• First: you could just ask me if you have a question.
• Second: you could at least mention me when questioning another admin on my actions.
• Third: I read your post. If you say it isn't pointless, then tell me: what is the point of it? What do you expect me to do say or do following that post? Why are you telling me about this situation, what is your goal or expectation? What do you think I'll do with the half-dozen notification emails I received saying that you had edited my talk page? (By the way, please learn to use the "preview" button instead of editing your posts so many times). ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 22:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

The point of it was that Fladrif, who has been blocked for a long history of disruptive behavior, returned as an IP to continue the same pattern of personal attacks and was blocked for it. I just want to make others who are familiar with the situation with Fladrif aware of what happened, that's all. My mistake for not mentioning you. I am allowed to copyedit my own comments before someone replies. Other than that, I apologize if my comment came off as ranting. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:32, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

I think Salvidrim, and many of the people you interact with, already know, because you've talked about it a bunch in the past (and I think it was on your user page for a bit while you took a break, if I remember right. I don't mind hearing about it...but I kind of wish you wouldn't talk about it so much for your sake. Just so that you don't dwell on it, and get anymore stressed out about it than you need to be. Don't get me wrong, Fladrif was pretty awful, but sometimes the best way to get over stuff is to erase it from your vocabulary, you know? Besides, people like that love attention; so, if you keep talking about him, he may get a kick out of it, conversely, for some people, the best way to get back at them, is to ignore their existence, and go about your life in a happy manner.

Anyways, that's my honest 2 cents. I mean no offense, so I hope you don't take it that way. You're a good editor, so don't let those bad apples (Fladrif) waste any of your time. Sergecross73 msg me 22:45, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

I'll accept that. This is easing up for me, because Fladrif is not something I think about every day and I already decided that I wouldn't let past issues get to me when I returned back in October. Thanks for your understanding on the situation. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 22:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

Thief and the Cobbler

It's the same guy. He mistakingly put 46.116.236.78 in his signature, who had previously admitted to being a sock puppet, looking at his contributions. Furthermore, a lookup shows that the IP is from Israel, the same as the disruptive, childish IP from months back. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 20:00, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured as much. He confirmed it on his talk page too. I reblocked him and re-protected the page. (It's insane - the very first day the 6 month protection was removed from the article, he was right back at it again. What, did he put the date on his calendar or something??)

I'd like to be allowed to edit the Thief and the Cobbler Wiki page, so that I can accurately describe my Recobbled Cut Mark 4 and its edit differences, as well as Richard Williams' own director's cut which is screening next week in Los Angeles.

• The article is only "semi-protected" - if you click on that link to see what that means, you'll see that it means that you can edit it once you are an autoconfirmed user, which involves having your account be 4 days old having at least 10 edits. Considering, at the time of me writing this, you're at 7 years and 7 edits, you're pretty close to being able to edit it.
• That being said, please be mindful of Wikipedia's policy for "Conflicts of Interest" as well.

I hope that helps. Sergecross73 msg me 18:01, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
