Edit request on Halo Reach
Hey David, I saw you recently commented on an edit request on Halo Reach, saying that there were no reliable sources. I too have been unable to find official sources from Microsoft but other reliable websites such as Amazon are confirming the release date. What do you think? Would it be fine with you if I went ahead and added it to the article? - EdoDodo talk 13:39, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Nobel Prize help appeal
Hello!
I found you on the FA team page and you seem to know your way around here on Wikipedia. I'm quite new to Wikipedia and still don't understand everything here yet. I am currently working with the Nobel Prize a very important article imo. I'm trying to get the Nobel Prize article to FA status and have thus nominated it to FA twice but none of the times it was good enough. Most people seemed to think that the prose was the major problem.
First I tried to work it through myself but I am not an experienced copy-editor, even with the help of the many guides on Wikipedia I don't think I have got it to a high enough level yet. I've tried to get it peer reviewed but I got about 5 comments and then it was closed unfortunately. So since you state on the FA team page that you are good at prose you perhaps would like to help me with making Nobel Prize to a FA?
Thanks, Esuzu (talk • contribs) 09:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you! That would be very nice of you. Looking forward to it. Esuzu (talk • contribs) 16:13, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Apologies
Hi David, we had a minor disagreement earlier regarding the cover art picture in the article Beyond Good & Evil (video game). I want you to know that I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into the article, and that I was merely trying to enforce what I believed was standing consensus as I interpreted it from the article guidelines. I hope this hasn't discouraged you from continuing to improve the article. Cheers. --MrStalker (talk) 11:05, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Hi David - Are you still working on the improvements for the FAR of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (review located Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask/archive2). I'm mainly wondering because if you're no longer interested, I'll move the article to FARC. If you are still interested, I'll ping a few editors to comment so that we may be able to keep the article without a move. Let me know - and thanks for your work on the article so far; it's great to see articles improved and kept rather than hastily delisted! Dana boomer (talk) 17:45, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

User Images
Hey David. Remember me?
I have an ethical image question for you. If somebody wanted to put an image of themselves, as they appear in Halo 3 multiplayer, (edited to remove the background) onto their userpage, would that be a Non-free Fair Use image, a Non-free Game Screenshot image, or an "I made this" Free Use image? While it would be taken from a copyrighted video game, it is covered under MGCUR, and would be for personal, non-commercial use. It has also been edited from the original image.
And yes, I am the one considering this. --CornfieldMannequin (talk) 21:53, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Administrator review/WereSpielChequers

Sowards, Meyer, etc
David, I understand your point, but I counter that it is as (or morseso) misleading to put Meyer's name as writer there in the infobox when it is not on the credits. I feel that we should report in the infobox the credits as they appeared onscreen and then explain in the article that Meyer did the massive rewrite which was shot. Or at the very least, report the credits as they appear on screen, then put in a parenthetical something like (Nicholas Meyer, uncredited). Or an asterisk that links to the section where it explains that Meyer wrote the shooting script. Best. Sir Rhosis (talk) 01:38, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I know that you are taking a break, but can you help me with the copy-edit. I mean, a copy-editor I requested for is striking parts of the article and adding tags as well.

Hi. You delisted Silent Hill 2 almost a year ago (for perfectly valid reasons) and mentioned that there were more issues with the article than the ones you wrote down.

Hi David,
Two editors have just completed pretty thorough copy edits of the article, hopefully addressing many of the prose concerns you had in the FAC. If you have a minute, I would appreciate it if you would read through the article again and point out anything else that you think needs work for it to become a featured article.

withdraw?
Do you want to withdraw in the evaluation process of the CFM56? You are editing but not on that comment page. Even SandyGeorgia is possibly getting impatient and asked you for comments. If you are too busy, simply stating that you are no longer evaluating the article due to your schedule is sufficient. I am not very involved in that article's evaluation.

Video clip
Since you've uploaded a few clips, I figured I'd ask you about an issue I'm having to see if you know how to fix it. I just uploaded my first video clip for Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, and was wondering if you know if it's possible to select a specific screenshot within the clip to be used as the title image when the video appears in the article. Currently it shows the Rebel soldiers facing the AT-ATs, but I'd prefer it be of the AT-AT instead as that is the focus of the clip. I've already tried starting the clip a few seconds later, but that is already cutting off the opening sequence of the small clip. If you have any idea on how to address this, that'd be great. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 06:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- I tried editing out the letterbox, but when I did so in several programs it always resulted in significantly decreased video quality or came out at a compressed aspect ratio. I'm sure the best option is to get a fullscreen version of the DVD and make a video from that version. However, I'm not that interested in going out to Blockbuster to find a fullscreen version just to make the clip. Thank you for providing the details about the thumbnail parameter, I figured it was out there, and probably should have searched a bit harder, but it was getting late last night as I played around with uploading this video. Hopefully I get more proficient at it, it would be great to have more examples to use so that this could be used more in the film articles. --Happy editing!

Criticizing me over Star Trek film cats
| “ | Hello, I'd ask that you stop creating and modifying categories relating to Star Trek. On one hand, there's the question of whether we need categories that will hold at most three or four items (Category:Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Secondly, you are mislabeling many articles with improper categories (Genesis II (film), Yesterday's Enterprise. I don't want to have to go back and clean up these issues. | ” |
First of all, you don't personally own these articles. So sending me a message asking me to stop (without asking for a "user vote" to determine whether or not something on Wikipedia is actually useful) is extremely patronizing. Secondly, I just started working on the cats so of course, there going to be quite small at first. Third, it's stated in the article for Star Trek: The Motion Picture that Genesis II was one of the key influences in the screenplay.

Captain Scarlet. And the Mysterons. Dun de dun de dun.
Hallo. Over at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons/archive1, I've offered my own unique brand of half-assed image review, but I was wondering if you'd be able to pop by with a second opinion about the "cast photo", which I'm not sure passes muster. Given you managed to get File:S02-spock's funeral.png, also a cast shot, through Khan's FAC without a problem, you seemed like the best person to ask. You'll just have to ignore the horrible, despicable things I said about that image's rationale, for which I'm deeply sorry largely unconcerned. All the best, Steve T • C 13:54, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I wonder if you could spare time to take a look at this article, which is somewhat stalled at FAC. A few comments would be helpful, to get discussion going again. Brianboulton (talk) 14:02, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

confusing edit
could you take a look at this for me? I don't know how he did this edit. Thanks.Tstrobaugh (talk) 20:49, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
What's your deal with being so anti-IMDb?
You keep reverting/deleting a ton of information regarding the broadcast television versions of the Star Trek films. It's getting extremely frustrating regarding your apparent lack of faith (not to mention overprotectiveness over Star Trek related articles) of the content over there. IMDb (perhaps the most in-depth film/TV production databases around) has been around much, much longer than Wikipedia itself, so I find it kind of quizzical that you immediately think that the material isn't 100% valid or truthful. The info in the article is taken almost verbatim from the "alternate versions" portion of the respective pages. I didn't write them myself so don't blame the messenger.

Omgpop problems
David, could use your help as an admin and experienced editor per Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Omgpop_one_big_game_directory, as my trying to explain to an anonymous IP why his edits are guide material, advertising, WP:OR, etc., etc. doesn't seem to be working or are just going completely ignored. Tried in the edit summary, on the talk page, on his page, etc. Trying to improve the Omgpop article from the cruft it was before, but some anonymous IP fans of the site are being really difficult. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 05:31, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, he appears a bit more cooperative now after your warning. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 04:39, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Just to make you aware, they tried pulling a fast one and simply recreated all the removed game info at List of Games on OMGPOP. I put it in to a more standard format ala List of Xbox Live Arcade games.--Marty Goldberg (talk) 04:49, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

RE:Ignore Me
Got it and will promptly ignore... after I read through it for interesting factoids. And there is nothing wrong with Hotmail, besides the fact that it is backed by a power-hungry Xbox conglomerate. Plus I'm too lazy to get another one. (Guyinblack25 talk 19:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC))

Hi David Fuchs! You appear to be keeping an eye on this article, yes? LostHerald is arguing on my talk page that this information should be kept (I reverted it a few days ago). Your inputs would be great. Thanks, Davtra (talk) 06:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

New message
Hello User:David Fuchs. Last year, during the FAC of Kareena Kapoor, you pointed out several important things that were helpful in motivating me to improve the article further. Since then, I have been working on the article. When you have the time, could you please make a comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Kareena Kapoor/archive2 so that any discrepancies can be eliminated. Thanks :) -- Bollywood Dreamz talk 04:33, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
