Deleting talk sections
You're new, so I'll cut you some slack, but in the future do not remove things from the talk page. Even if the conversation is over, it's supposed to stay there so that other people can read it in the future. That's why there's 14 archived pages for the CVG WP talk page- nothing is deleted, so that it can be refered to. I put the section back in, so it's all good though. --PresN 05:05, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I didn't know. I understood, though, after someone reverted my deletion. - New User 09:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Japanese titles
Hi, sorry I took so long getting back to you, I've been away and thenw as kinda busy. Here's what you asked for, Rygar (アルゴスの戦士 はちゃめちゃ大進撃, Argos no Senshi: Hachamecha Daishingeki) and Inindo: Way of the Ninja (スーパー伊忍道: 打倒信長, Super Inindou: Datou Nobunaga). By the way, did you see the explanation of how to use this template on my talk page, it might be useful for you. Reagrds, Timkovski 14:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Inindo: Way of the Ninja
Hi. Indindo: Way of the Ninja is one of my favourite SNES games of all time and was going to be my next project after I finished building up E.V.O.. I was wondering jow well you knew the game, because I've compiled lots of information on it already, but two heads are always better than one on Wikipedia. Canadian Paul 00:44, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Unfortunately I don't know too much about it, some of what is in the article I got from some website I found. I remember my brother played it a lot when we were kids, but I never really got into it. I have it emulated on my home computer (I use public computers for internet access) but I have so many games to play right now that I have pushed Inindo to the background. I have the game's manual in pdf format I got from The Game Manual Arhive [1] but I haven't even read the entire manual because it contains long sections of Japanese history and legends and I'm a busy man! Good luck with improving the article and I will help in any way I can. New User 11:41, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Stella deus boxart.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Stella deus boxart.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

The "dk'tronics" page
Thanks for trying to lowercase the title (I'm "korax1214" who created the original version of the page, BTW — being a cybercafé user, I usually don't log in unless I need to), but it can't be capitalised due to the workings of MediaWiki. Hence the "The correct title of this page is..." tag. :-)
Please update your status with WP:VG
Dear WikiProject Video games member,
You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.
The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.
All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:
- Editing video game-related pages in the Article namespace
- Participating in video game-related discussions in the Project namespace (WT:VG, WP:AfD, WP:GAN, etc.)
Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Fair use rationale for File:Hammer box.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/64px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hammer box.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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:29, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Better source request for File:Inindo boxart.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Inindo boxart.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:16, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
