D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7

Hi there!  :)

As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 04:19, 19 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject: Dungeons & Dragons

Hi! I’ve been working on a lot of ‘’Dungeons & Dragons’’ articles lately and saw that you were a member of WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons), and am inviting you to rejoin Wikipedia’s D&D group. I've been hard at work removing tags placed inappropriately on D&D articles, as well as modifying articles to remove tags that were placed legitimately. In addition, I have been compiling related articles together so that the articles are longer, making it easier to remove tags and to have short articles on lesser topics by just putting it into another appropriate article (links to such compiled articles can be found on my userpage). Check out the project here , and ask any questions that you may have here. Thank you for your time. Drilnoth (talk) 20:55, 7 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Faiths and Pantheons cover.jpg

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Faiths and Pantheons cover.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Courcelles 01:58, 19 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom Request re YellowMonkey

Just wanted to say that as someone who's been monitoring the situation but has little to say on the matter, your request struck me as very well written. My personal feeling is that YM does not appear to be living up to the standards one should expect when dealing with an admin, so it's nice to see something being done about this. Thank you for your efforts. Doniago (talk) 17:54, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Appreciated. I suspect this is going to be ... an experience for me, as well. I've certainly never been within 20 miles of an ArbCom case. But the RFC was increasingly looking like a room full of people waiting for someone to actually stand up and open the door. So, we'll see how things go. It's all rather disappointing, really. I hope that, somehow, there's still some reasonable conclusion this can all be brought to other than the obvious one, even if I certainly can't see one.

+1. Given YellowMonkey with enough pushing did improve on semi-protections I think we may see some improvement here too with what is largely issues with blocking. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:32, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Unfortunately, I can't see any improvement being likely as long as YM continues his pattern of non-responsiveness, which is by far my biggest concern regarding this whole situation. It is very difficult for me to assume good faith regarding his actions when he won't even talk about them. I rather admire your decision to open the door for others, though. Reminds me of when people suggested deleting/moving the Asperger Syndrome article but nobody would actually follow procedure to make it happen (probably because they were all SomethingAwful trolls). I got tired of the discussion and finally made a formal move/delete proposal myself. After all, making a proposal doesn't mean you support it. (smile) I hope you won't get too much flak for actually pushing things forward. Doniago (talk) 19:19, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
The lack of communication is of course the compounding factor in all of this. Even after the March AN/I about semi-protection, the bulk of his uses of it aren't strictly in compliance with the policy. I do understand what he was trying to do with a lot of them, though, and if there had just been dialogue about it, things would have been smoother; maybe the community could have had a discussion about whether some of his uses of semi-protection (preemptively on school articles, for example) should be okay. But that's not what happened, and so here we are. As for me, I really don't have anything to hide or any disputes hiding in the closet (except for a terribly intermittent editing history due to illness, mostly). If I get flak, I get flak. I still think this is what is right. Serpent's Choice (talk) 19:28, 30 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
