Hello Bubbachuck, and welcome to Wikipedia! If you want to learn more about the contribution process, definitely check out the tutorial. It's a really simple and easy explanation of all the basics.

TIPS:

I hope you enjoy your stay here and feel free to reply to this welcome message on my talk page. - Craigy (Talk)

If by "university" you mean Duke then yes I am a student, and I see you are too. Cool. Gregw824

I took the liberty of putting you in the Duke University Wikipedians category. Since an informal community had already developed around the Duke page, I thought I might as well formalize it. Cheers, JTM.

VfDs for Tekken Characters[edit]

You wrote on my talk page: Although I admire your determination to clean Wikipedia of unecessary pages, it seems to me you are not very knowledgeable about the history of Tekken's characters (correct me if I'm wrong). therefore, your reasoning that characters in a computer game (most would refer to it as a console game) do not need individual pages is, to say the least, ill-informed. its an insult for all the people who pored their hard work into these pages and, for the most part, provided good information for you to vote to blanket delete them all, even if you think you're doing the right thing. please read the articles you are voting to delete next time (again, correct me if I'm wrong), because if you did, you would find a wealth of information there spanning 6 major games that could not possibly fit coherently on a single List page. if you are able to revert your vote for delete, i urge you to do so. Bubbachuck 23:44, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

It is my general position that individual pages for fictional characters, whether from novels, films, songs, or computer or console games are needed only when the character has become known in the wider world, beyond the fans of the particular fictional work or series of works. Thus there should be a page for Superman but not one for each of the various villians and allies in the superman series. I thank the raft of individual pages about chartacters in Tolkien's Lort of the Rings is a mistake, and i am a fairly hard-core fan of JRRT (I am one of those who bought, in HB and read, all 12 volumes of The History of Middle Earth.) I recently did a merge of the 21 pages on separate books and several pages on characters into the single page Aubrey-Maturin series. I attemptred a merge on The Wheel of Time. I did a merge on The Dark is Rising Sequence. I am a confirmed mergist on ficional issues.
I was doing new page patrol when I saw several pages for Tekken characters coem through. All of them were stubs. Consistant with the ideas above, i nominated several for deletion. Then i saw the combined VfD that aosmone else had created, but had not properly linked to the pages it would affect. I linked it so that it could be propeerly discussed, adn the people intreested in those pages could see the proper place to express their views. My view remains that an annotated list could contain all the info that wikipedia neeeds on Tekken characters, and expanded pages could exist at a tekken wiki or game wiki on wikicities. This may not prove to be a consensus view. So be it. DES 14:16, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I did, by the way look through every page that I nominated for deeltion or linked to a VfD vote. But my view is that no matter how wonderful and detailed these pages may be, they don't belong on wikipedia becasue they aren't notable outsiede the context of players and fans of this sereis of games. There is no reason for the "hard work" to be lost when wikicities exixts. DES 14:16, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Soul Calibur-related stuff[edit]

I've been working hard on a major overhaul of your Yoshimitsu page, to make it more like the other Soul Calibur page. Now, that doesn't mean I choose sides between either Tekken or Soul Calibur, but that's beside the point. I know one of the featured policies of Wikipedia is being bold and all, but I also didn't want to be reckless and do it without sending you a message first. It's not a real big deal, you'll see, as it pretty much features everything it already contained in a more organized and unified manner; and you can pretty much imagine it as if your article had a love child with any one of the other articles we've all been making. But it has many gallery pictures from both series and a much-needed summary of his Tekken-related biography that I've been working on. So go check it out. Here's the direct link. Feel free to send me a message either in its discussion page or in my talk page. --Shackleton 10:07, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey, thanks for the encouraging words on the update. I made a minor diction change so that "nearly identical" has been replaced by "analogous", an ajective which better fits the situation. As for Soul Calibur information coming before Tekken, you could certainly make the case that this would be the preference if one were to sort alphabetically or chronologically within the timeline. BUT even though I--and I'm assuming you are, too--am a Soul Calibur player more than a Tekken player, Yoshimitsu is a Tekken character before he is a Soul Calibur character. And more representative gameplay videos would be great. Thanks again. --Shackleton 00:28, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I've noticed that you recently made a List of Soul Calibur terms page. I have to be honest with you, though. I don't quite see why you don't just add these terms to List of fighting game terms and specify which terms apply only to Soul Calibur rather than create a new page. I only say this because many of the terms that you feature also apply to other fighting games as well, so their importance in the article has already been covered; and the few that aren't universal among fighting games aren't enough to justify a full article. Plus, there are other instances on List of fighting game terms in which the terms don't apply to every versus fighting game available, and I don't believe any other fighting game has it's own page. I'm only saying that we should follow precedent. When I was arguing for the justification for individualized character pages, there was already significant precedent for the affirmative. Here, there doesn't seem to be the same precedent although I haven't searched through all of Wikipedia to find such pages. Plus, I'm not sure I would even agree if one or two other fighting games had their own pages, as you can't really continually add to the pages, nullifying the expansion potential. I'm considering putting up a merger suggestion notice, but if I'm able to convince you, and you agree with me that it would make more sense to transfer everything over to List of fighting game terms, it wouldn't be necessary. Take care. --Shackleton 04:12, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you really think you can make a whole article out of it, fine. But as it is, you're going to have to work fast and get it to full article status before somebody else--Such as users BradBeattie (sp?) or DES--comes along, sees its incompletion and decides to make a merger suggestion before me; and you know that most people would vote for the affirmative on that merger in the state the article is in now. I'll wait a month or two, but if it just isn't cutting it by then, then it will only indicate to me that the article will never get better, and I will probably put a merger suggestion notice then. Also, see my message below. --Shackleton 20:49, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I read you. I have to study all next week but I'll add what I can when I'm bored of memorizing stuff...which hopefully for my sake will not be too often. -- Bubbachuck 21:43, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I was just writing to you to ask for your professional opinion on the newest message I've added to Talk:List of Soul Calibur characters. I realize you're on a break, but I didn't think it too futile to ask in the meantime, since you have been visiting ever so slightly as of late. Personally, I believe List of Soul Calibur characters should be converted into a proper list per List of Mortal Kombat characters, albeit slightly more descriptive. Then we can make a second page for miscellaneous Soul Calibur characters, although I don't know what the proper title for that would be. The entries included would of course be the eleven not receiving individualized pages. Tell me what you think. I'm going to ask a couple of other users as well. And also, good news, I got that vandal banned for forty-eight hours. Let's just hope he's not one of those resourceful people with IP addresses up the yinyan. Cheers, and good luck on the tests. --Shackleton 06:03, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

on Copyvio tag[edit]

I don't know if you were aware, but your editings on the copyvio template made it stop working (you replaced the word url with an actual url, so everywhere the template was working stopped displaying the proper address and showed what you typed. Please don't do that again. <drini ☎> 06:04, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Gulliver[edit]

I actually haven't lived there. I just found the zipcode from dictionary.com. I don't have time to find the rest of the information on it now, as it is 3 AM here. Be my guest and delete it, I don't know why I posted that. Maybe I'll look up the info tomorrow. Thanks for the warning! I'm not going to do anything with it for a while, so if you want you can definitely delete it. --Elysianfields 07:19, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"nn" on AfD[edit]

Hi there,

Forgive me for asking such a newbie question, but what exactly does 'nn' on AfD mean? I have been doing a fair bit of editing on the Wikipedia but have only just started on AfD, and couldn't find any other reference for the term.. if you could leave a reply on my talk page that'd be great. :-)

Image galleries[edit]

From your question, I suspect that Wikipedia:Fair use is perhaps failing to be clear about what our guidelines for fair use are. A copyrighted image captured in a screenshot can be claimed to be fair use, and we therefor have a template for it. That doesn't at all mean that every screenshot is automatically fair use! In the specific aritcles you asked about, the images were presented as an image gallery. If you read further in Wikipedia:Fair use, you will see the following:

  • The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible... Do not use multiple images or media clips if one will serve the purpose adequately.
  • The material must contribute significantly to the article (e.g. identify the subject of an article, or specifically illustrate relevant points or sections within the text) and must not serve a purely decorative purpose
  • The image or media description page must contain:
    • Proper attribution of the source of the material, and attribution of the copyright holder (if it is different) where possible.
    • An appropriate fair use tag indicating which Wikipedia policy provision permitting the use is claimed. A list of image tags can be found on the Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#Fair_use page.
    • For each article for which fair use is claimed, the name of the article and a "fair use rationale" as explained in Wikipedia:Image description page. The rationale must be presented in a manner that can be clearly understood and which is relevant to the article in question.

Providing an "image gallery" involving between eight and twenty images for every character in a video game series is, unfortunately, outside the bounds of Wikipedia guidelines. If you have further questions about this, you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fair use, where I originally asked what should be done with the articles and images. It spawned some conversation there, so you may be interested in the opinions that other editors expressed on these very articles. Jkelly 19:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Soul Calibur videos[edit]

Hello Bubbachuck, I just wanted to let you know that all the links to gameplay videos you added to Soul Calibur characters' articles have become 404s. Luckily, the original creator of those videos, Jaxel, who has become a registered user today, has replaced the broken links with working ones. Mushroom 02:05, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

User:NonexistentFool[edit]

Just a friendly reminder. Welcome templates should go on talk pages, you put one on this user's userpage. I know it's an easy mistake to make, I did it myself before. But I decided to let you know just to make sure you are aware of this in the future. - Mgm|(talk) 21:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Calvin & Hobbes - Calvin.png[edit]

Hi Bubbachuck. I notice you're currently using Image:Calvin & Hobbes - Calvin.png on your userpage. Per the fair use policy (item 9), fair use images are not allowed in userspace. I note you're on Wikibreak until August, so rather than asking you to remove it I've gone ahead and done it myself. Thanks! --Nick Boalch 18:48, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Working on a Duke Community Wiki[edit]

Image:Brown,Larry.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Brown,Larry.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ytny 19:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cowboybeboptitle.jpg[edit]

Hello, Bubbachuck. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Cowboybeboptitle.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Bubbachuck. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 02:23, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Hofmann Reaction Overview.PNG. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy.

Unspecified source for Image:Masterandcommanderposter_AF.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Masterandcommanderposter_AF.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 02:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SC2Talim33A.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:SC2Talim33A.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary[edit]

Hi! Since you have a connection to Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 15:45, 1 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop at CMU (Aug 15)[edit]

Since you are one of the editors in the Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: University of Pittsburgh, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
