Thank you for editting Pokémon, in future, please use edit summaries. Cheers, Highway ^{Rainbow Sneakers} 08:21, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your edits to El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, as you see, I thank you for your edits, however, as you can see, in the infobox, you deleted Mexico as origin country. In effect, the show comes partly from Mexico, as it is were the publisher company, Mexopolis is located. Please refrain to erase things that are accurate. 201.218.79.120 (talk) 18:29, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Publisher company?? As for as I know, the show is completely from the US, seeing as Nickelodeon created, funded and produced the show originally for America. Unless it was co-produced by a Mexican company FOR Mexico, I see no reason to list it under 'Country of origin'. Smash (talk) 20:06, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE, a lot of your categorizations of articles are unnecessary because they are redundant. An article doesn't need to have a category which is already a subcategory of another one. Please read the

What are you talking about? Smash 19:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Articles must not be in both a category "A" and category "B" if "B" is already a subcategory of "A". ...I'm probably not explaining it very well. But just take the time to read the guideline page I linked, it's long but necessary (because categorization is a complicated stuff), and at such a rate it's tedious for other people to revert the "mistakes" you may or may not have made.:

Well, take the example of the Chocobo games for instance. If

Chocobo Collection, etc. in the Category:Video games developed in Japan, because these articles are already in the Category:Chocobo games

. See what I mean?

Also, this reasoning is also valid for the Category:Japan exclusive video games: there is no need to put an article in Category:Video games developed in Japan when it is already in the Category:Japan exclusive video games. Kariteh 19:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well, what's done is done. Smash 19:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Er, no, what's done has to be fixed, and it's going to take a while. Kariteh 19:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, well, good luck with that. Smash 19:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Apeescape.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

TMNT

Regarding the

TMNT (2003 TV series)

article, I understand what you were saying about the section you deleted, however, I think that you should make an appoint to edit certain information rather than deleting it entirely from the article, seeing as though someone else worked hard to put it together. Place the information where a fits rather than just deleting it. Thank you. CH 16:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're trying to keep the information up, at least make an "International versions" section or something like that to add it in. "Japanese version" just doesn't make the article look neat. Smash 17:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. I just didn't want to add one thing into the section entitled "international", seeing as though I only have information based on the japanese version at the moment, and no other dubs. But I see your point. CH 17:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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 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 '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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Project FMF (talk) 17:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Berniemac.PNG. 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 {{

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

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to The Transformers: The Movie does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 15:44, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Sonic the Hedgehog, you may be blocked from editing. I'm not sure why you keep removing "Japanese" from the first sentence of the lede, but I've noticed that you've received several warnings about it. Please stop.
