Why wasn't there mention of your proposing deleting this on the talk page? I last signed in 20 odd hours ago and didn't see it. Since I haven't looked at the disambiguation page lately, I can't remember what was on it. Giving people warning is useful cause now I have to figure out where to go to complain it was deleted without warning.

Hiroshi Watanabe (musician)
Hiroshi Watanabe works (or has worked) with Konami on their Bemani games, that is why his article is listed as part of the WikiProject Video game. If you do not object, I'll re-add the template. æronphonehome 19:04, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks
Heya and thanks for cleaning + adding the vg/ps2 categories to the Aliens vs Predator: Extinction article. have one question touch, is the creator of an article supposed to add categories to an article or was it okay to wait? and another thing i am a bit ashamed of, i...didnt understand the citing of references as you can see in the reception section..can you help me with that one time please? is the article all in all okay so? i want to add some informations here and there about the gameplay and a bitmore details in the reception section. is a screenshot needed? greets, gbk oh, one more thing..how do you get that "This user is a member of WikiProject Video games." icon for the userpage?

Technical question
I like your work on the VG deletion page, and as you seem technically proficient, here's a question. Do you think it would be possible to add the VG-source custom sources Google search engine to the deletion pages of VG articles? I mean, just like there are currently some source-searching links there already. You can find the thing I mean in the introductory paragraph of the list at WP:VG/S#List.
For example, if you use an automated tool to add deletion pages to the VG category, could that tool modify the sources template on top of deletion debates? Or maybe just add a link to the "Note: this has been added to VG deletions" thing.

Re: Dariusburst move
sure! if you would examine the front of the official soundtrack album, please: http://vgmdb.net/album/16136
and in most Japanese sources (namely, Taito themselves), the title is always written "DARIUSBURST", like the game's logo. Elm-39 - T/C/N 15:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think it does, simply because so many Japanese sources write it as "DARIUSBURST" anyway. the soundtrack album simply clarifies this. a lot of those western sources are incorrect; someone wasn't paying attention, and then eventually no one else knows better. imo it's especially wrong when even the so called "fans" don't know better.

Hmmm. There's a lot of them, isn't there? And they're only the ones on my watchlist. No doubt there are many others, too.
Tell me please - did you give ANY thought as to why there might be so many of them at ANY stage before, during or after your mass deletion exercise?
(When I have your answer, I will ask some more questions.)
Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:23, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- I get the feeling that your comment is not assuming good faith. As my edit summaries say, I'm deleting the pages on the basis of F2, which includes image page for an image on Commons, which all of these are. Images are Commons are not supposed to be categorized on here. If you still have any questions, let me know. MrKIA11 (talk) 13:44, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- You're being a little touchy, aren't you? I asked you a fairly simple and straight-forward question, viz: "did you give ANY thought as to why there might be so many of them at ANY stage before, during or after your mass deletion exercise?" Your response COMPLETELY avoids providing ANY information relevant to the question I asked. Instead, you have gone on the attack. And, without AGF yourself, have questioned whether I'm AGF!
- How about AGF, read what I wrote, and answer the question I asked you? Pdfpdf (talk) 14:10, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sorry that we're not communicating effectively. I'm not trying to pick a fight. At this point of the conversation, I'm just trying to get more information.
- My intention was, "When I have that information, then I'll know what question it is I want to ask you."
- I could continue on that track and "play that game" with you, but although your responses have not yet provided me with the information I'm seeking, they have provided me with (other) information that is relevant.
- I suggest that the most efficient path is for me to start again, using the new information that I now have. Accordingly, assuming that is OK with you (Yes, I know, BIG assumption), here goes: (I suppose I'd better sign this bit first: Pdfpdf (talk) 14:52, 5 February 2010 (UTC) )
- You have deleted a large number of pages on :en:WP. (As it happens, those pages were associated with images.)
- Those pages existed for a reason. They contained more information than just the image. (i.e. they contained "metadata" about the image. Metadata on :en:WP that was "useful".)
- You have stated: "Images are Commons are not supposed to be categorized on here."
- I'm afraid that I'm not confident I understand what you mean.
- My understanding of the situation is that those "file:"s were uploaded on :en:WP and categorised on :en:WP, and then subsequently moved to commons.
- Fine. No problem with that.
- But then, what happens to the meta-data? (i.e. the categorisation on :en:WP?) That's still useful data.
- Why does moving the images to commons suddenly invalidate that (very) useful categorisation data on :en:WP?
- Is that clearer?
- Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 14:52, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I do not have a good reason for that. I am just following the guidelines. This might be a good issue to bring up somewhere with a larger audience, possible the village pump. I think the current thinking is that categories are meant to group only pages on this wiki, and not cross-wiki. But as far as I can tell (based on a few images that I checked), the pages were categorized after the image was moved to Commons and page was deleted. So by adding the category, the page was created for an image that was not really there, but actually on Commons. MrKIA11 (talk) 15:21, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- Again, I re-iterate that I'm not trying to pick a fight, but I'm still having a bit of trouble following you. You've raised several points. I'll try to address all of them, but obviously I'm more interested in some than others. However, I've just been reminded that at 0200, I really should be doing other things. (e.g. sleeping) So I'll continue this "later". Pdfpdf (talk) 15:38, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
- On rereading and on reflection, I see that my negative reaction is to the guideline. Criticising you for following the guideline is analogous to "shooting the messenger". So, my apologies for "shooting at the messenger".
- (However, using the "war crimes defence", (i.e. "I was just following orders"), is probably not the best modus operandi to employ when embarking on large-scale editing exercises ...)
- Yes, the village pump is probably the best place to raise the issue. Thanks for that. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 06:25, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
Innocent Heart
I see that you have re-deleted Innocent Heart (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). Could you tell me who created it this time? It's probably a sock of Xtinadbest, and I need the evidence for a SPI. WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Xtinadbest/Archive, if you are interested in details.—Kww(talk) 14:55, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Category:Mary Fahl albums
Hi MrKIA11, I would like to reinstate this category. I requested deletion of it in accordance with WP:G7 several days ago, but this was an accident, as I meant to request deletion of Category:Mary Fahl. I have requested speedy deletion for the latter just a few moments ago. My apologies for not paying closer attention! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 04:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Central High School
Hey! I just thought I'd let you know that Central High School is actually located in Fort Worth, Texas, not Keller, and so I'm changing the title back to Central High School (Fort Worth, Texas). It's very confusing, I know. I myself thought CHS and the surrounding area was located in Keller for a long time. However, even though the school is in Keller ISD and has a Keller mailing address, it is in Fort Worth city limits. http://www.dfwmaps.com/index.asp?extentleft=2344743.65299554&extentright=2348004.34700446&extenttop=7017394.78457759&extentbottom=7014451.21542241&Layers=on&SHADECITY=on&AERIAL07=&AERIAL05=&Requests=on&selectpt.x=2346374&selectpt.y=7015923&selectpt.stat=none&idCmd=&identify=&mo=1&buffer=0.5&msize=small&AF=&mapTheme=dfwmaps&mapOption=Regional_Features&ortho03=&contour01=&Zoomby=7
Long URL, huh? This has the city boundaries of all municipalities in the North Central Texas Council of Governments, which includes the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. CHS's address is pinpointed. The green area to the east is Keller, and the blue area to the west is Fort Worth. So, although CHS lies very close to Keller city limits, it is actually in Fort Worth, as indicated by the map. Thanks!--Stallions2010 (talk) 23:16, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Stallions2010, you can actually put the URL in single brackets "[ ]" and this way the URL will appear only as a few characters in length. For example: [1] – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 00:09, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy moves
Thank you MrKIA11, for all the speedy help with the speedy moves. I have the same request with three more similar titles, which would probably be a lot less confusing for you to deal with directly. Please see - Death And All His Friends, Yes(Song), and Chinese sleep chant. Thanks again! -- WikHead (talk) 14:22, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- To be honest, I'm not sure where Yes(Song) should go. I do realise however, that Yes (song) is a dab page, and Yes (Song) redirects to Yes(Song). Trying to sort it all out has really confused me ;). I have no personal attachments to these articles, they are only naming errors I stubled upon while disambiguating links. I guess Yes (Coldplay song) would work though. -- WikHead (talk) 14:42, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Noriyoshi Oba-san's page
Hi,
I tried to upload a page about Ohba-san before I realized that you actually made an article about him located
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noriyoshi_Ohba
I actually work with Ohba-san at Premium Agency, Inc., he is sitting to my right side as I type this ;-)
The reason I couldn't find your article was
1. Ohba-san spells his last name in latin letters with an h 2. You can only find hin if you are searching him by his full name, typing "Noriyoshi" first, which is kinda arkward, especially for Japanese.
Still sorry for making a double entry
I would propose a merger. The problem with citation is kinda difficult, Ohba-san san said "if you take this info from my CV it MUST be valid!", can you think of a good way to veryfy the information? We will soon have a press release at our company Website annoucning that Ohba-san now works for us, but in a scientific way of thought a corporate site is kind of a bad source...
thanks for your support, I hope to hear from you soon.Lordcraymen (talk) 08:24, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Deletion of Libertarianism disambiguation without fair warning
Why wasn't there mention of your proposing deleting this on the talk page? I last signed in 20 odd hours ago and didn't see it. Since I haven't looked at the disambiguation page lately, I can't remember what was on it. Giving people warning is useful cause now I have to figure out where to go to complain it was deleted without warning. CarolMooreDC (talk) 17:32, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- you wrote, moved from my talk page:
- It actually fell under the umbrella of speedy deletion criteria G6.
{{Db-disambig}}
explains it better. There was no need for the page. You could go to WP:DRV, but there is no need. What are your concerns? If you have a reason for the page to exist, I can restore it, otherwise, I doubt the deletion will be overturned. Let me know what you think. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 17:40, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- It actually fell under the umbrella of speedy deletion criteria G6.
- There used to be 3 or 4 links which had been argued over a lot in the past, but Libertarianism (metaphysics) and Libertarian socialism were two that were not controversial. (Anarchism kept being put in and taken out.) Were either or both there when you looked? I later noticed that just before you did it someone removed the disambiguation page from Libertarianism article. Did someone recently remove Libertarian socialism also? It seems to me three links are sufficient for a page. CarolMooreDC (talk) 17:51, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
