Devil Master

Welcome!

Hi Devil Master, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Editing tutorial, learn to have fun with Wikipedia. Picture tutorial, instructions on uploading images. How to write a great article, to make it an featured article status. Manual of Style, how articles should be written.

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism. Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable. Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created. Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one. Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

Your username

To Wikipedians, your username may sound malicious hence the devil in it. One time, I had a nickname called "GoofyGuy", and other Wikipedians though I did malicious vandalism on Wikipedia. You could mask your username with a nickname. I suggest you nickname yourself "Clown master". --SuperDude 06:32, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

• If Clown master is too malicious, maybe you could try "stunt master". --SuperDude 15:20, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Please help me

Can you please help me with the Power Glove article? I see in the history that you made substantial contributions, and it needs to be cleaned up and properly referenced. The Power Glove is an important peripheral device, and could possible become a featured article, but it needs much work by interested editors. Yamaguchi先生 02:06, 18 October 2006

Early Prey screenshot reply

It's from a French gaming website. Here's the link: Planet e-games

You can also see a couple early screens from the game in the June 2005 issue of PC Gamer magazine if you are so inclined. -- Grandpafootsoldier 19:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

"citation needed" on Captain S catchphrase is totally unnecessary.

Seems like the absolute least likely thing that even needs a citation. Here's a few things I found.

• Everything Gets the Kick! Official Captain S T-Shirt
• Episode 1 - A Hero for All of S - phrase is said constantly while kicking Blue Pigs
• Episode 2 - S, S, He's Our Man - phrase is said constantly while kicking the opposing team's players
• Episode 10 - Good? Bad? He's the Guy With the Kick - In the finale, leaps to jump kick a blue pig Piñata.
• "Everything Gets the Kick" - song performed by Glenn Case

I feel tags like this are completely unnecessary, and if it does get referenced, people will just wonder, "Why was THAT even referenced," and the reference will eventually be removed, leaving all of these efforts to be completely useless. If you want to know for sure about something, ask the talk page instead of cramming citation-needed tags everywhere, please. It's not helping.

I just don't like wasting my time, and I'm sure others don't appreciate it as well. 216.37.86.10 (talk) 13:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I think this edit is counter productive. While the first fact can easily be checked by watching the movie, it's not possible for a normal person to check the speed of light - so it should have a science source as reference link. --Avatar (talk) 15:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Emulatedtekken3.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Emulatedtekken3.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Concerted Effort Domestic 2011

Devilmaster, Ravenswing: I hope you'll excuse my deleting / abridging your comments on the talk page. Even though the article should be deleted soon, it's best if names of living people not be discussed this way, especially since it's got to point of mentioning person X in city Y who (the discussion says) isn't one of the people the article is talking about. Once this stuff gets into a mirror, it could be there forever so -- again -- I ask you to forgive my doing this without consulting you. EEng (talk) 16:34, 18 October 2011 (UTC) P.S. About ten seconds after I posted this to you, the article was deleted. The system works!

Hello! I saw your note at User talk:Elockid, and did a little research myself. I have nominated Matthew M. Urquhart for deletion, and you are welcome to comment on the deletion proposal at the article's entry. Before participating in the deletion discussion, I recommend that you review WP:AFDEQ if you are not familiar with the WP:AfD process.

Disambiguation link notification for November 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Space Paranoids, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plugin (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hall of Records

Reverted you there - you removed a 'who?' template without adding names, and you used Graham Hancock as a source, not a WP:RS - if scientists did this there should be a be much better sources. Dougweller (talk) 18:05, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

I have reverted your edit on this page. Per WP:LEAD and WP:LEADCITE the lead merely needs to summarize the body, and all necessary citations can be in the body. Therefore the statement you noted as WP:WEASEL was merely a quick summary to the information noted in the Reception of the body. Thanks for the edit, though. It's nice to see people still working hard! --Teancum (talk) 00:21, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of nullDC

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

Article fails to meet WP:GNG and does not follow WP:GOLDENRULE: there is no significant coverage of this topic in any reliable, independent sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Yetisyny (talk) 07:01, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
