Welcome to the Wikipedia

Welcome, Yar Kramer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
Remember to use a neutral point of view!
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Hi! This is Icarus!, being non-Wiki (I'm not logged in...), saying thanx for the work on the Discordianism page! Keep it up!24.176.20.60 16:37, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Communication

Hey, I think that we should communicate some faster way, perhaps on some sort of instant messenger, so that we can coordinate our plans for the Guilty Gear project. (Given that conflict that just happened). Tell me what you think. Digital Watches 17:56, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. Didn't even notice that. Er ... what are you referring to exactly, besides the fact that we both edited a couple of stuff independantly and in succession? Yar Kramer 01:39, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

rv war

The guy who keeps deleting the last names uses and aol ip and vandalizes many other articles. He usually undoes the sorting by last names in the snk and capcom sections and leaves no comment.--Dangerous-Boy

Thanks for helping sort the category.--Dangerous-Boy

Any time. I've got the entire Street Fighter cast (well, the ones with last names anyway) in my watchlist. ;) --Yar Kramer 18:27, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Can you add the darkstalkers, final fight, and the snk characters to your watchlist as well. --Dangerous-Boy

Gah. Sorry, I feel overburdened with just Street Fighter. Is it not written, "I have only one pair of hands"? --Yar Kramer 21:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alien Controller

Hi Yar, just to say that I've put those screenshots of Alien Controllers on my discussion page. Having looked at them again, I'm not convinced they're any better than what I've already put on the article page. See what you think. Cheers, --Plumbago 08:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

MisterBob

Recently, I had to revert the SNK Boss Syndrome article back to one of the "Last Good Edits" made by Jeff Silvers. Mister Bob removed ALPHA-152 from the article without making any backup claims, any edit that doesn't obviously have any backing claims should be considered vandalism on the SNK Boss Syndrome article. MisterBob has been warned three times. You definitely want to keep an eye on MisterBob, since he tends to vandalize SNK Boss Syndrome by stating that ALPHA-152 doesn't qualify without having reasons to back it up. There's a separate article regarding about ALPHA-152 that backs up her position as an SNK Boss. Just wanted to bring this to your attention. — Dark Insanity 02:15, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Millia Rage

I'm kind of impressed with the way you handled that content dispute. If only they could all be so civil. Danny Lilithborne 04:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, thanks. We can't ALL be /b/-tards and LUEsers. ;) --Yar Kramer 20:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:ThatMan-GGXXR.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:ThatMan-GGXXR.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Image copyright problem with Image:GGXXR-DizVsAxl01.png

Thanks for uploading Image:GGXXR-DizVsAxl01.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Orphaned non-free image File:GGXXR-DizVsAxl01.png

Thanks for uploading File:GGXXR-DizVsAxl01.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:15, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Dragon Pink

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

lack of notability, while the Mania and anime boredom reviews (as linked on talk page) are reliable, 'Homemade Mech' seems to be a selfpublished source, was unable to find additional sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Dizzy (Guilty Gear) Article

I believe Dizzy from Guilty Gear should get her own article on Wikipedia, as she is not only popular, she's also one of the series' most iconic/well known characters.

We should use her Guilty Gear Wiki article as a headstart, though not copying and pasting stuff from it. https://guilty-gear.fandom.com/wiki/Dizzy

Hassantaleb123 (talk) 21:14, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You were talking to a person that isn't active anymore. Also, It depends if the character received dozens of reception to make it notable to have their own page like this guy Sol Badguy and others that you have updated image from guilty gear characters (I also edited the sourcing of those images as it was necessary). 49.149.125.20 (talk) 09:02, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
