Thanks for uploading Image:Rhinestone.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 00:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF ( talk) 00:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Hey, Judgesurreal, I've given you the rollback feature, which allows quick reversion of edits by a user, like TW but easier. Since you work on mainspace, I figure I can't go wrong with giving it to you. Just remember, do not use rollback on good faith edits or in an edit war, or the tool may be revoked. If you'd like to test it out, you can head to Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Happy editing! bibliomaniac 1 5 I see no changes 05:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, I guess you could check www.flikr.com. I'm not sure what to do about licensing tags though. The other option would be to maybe check out some articles on gaming sites to see if they posted anything related to the merchandise. I know famitsu's website does this sometimes. If you can't find anything suitable, then it's no biggie. The absence of an image like that wouldn't be enough to keep it from passing. ( Guyinblack25 talk 16:43, 6 March 2008 (UTC))

However, not only am I horrendously bad at writing reception and development sections, but I have several tests today, and then I'm not sure if I'll have internet this weekend.

I agree with the concern; I don't think both Image:FFV ATB.PNG and Image:Final_Fantasy_V_Active_Time_Battle_screenshot.png are necessary. They're both ATB screens and both in English. The relavent policies would be NFCC#3A ("As few non-free content uses as possible are included in each article") and NFCC#8 (with which you're no doubt familiar). A Japanese language version, alternatively, wouldn't seem to be helpful either, as I suspect the only substantial difference would be the language/alphabet (what understanding would we really gain by seeing Japanese characters?) I actually think Image:Final_Fantasy_V_death_crystal_screenshot.png needs to go, too, as the prose sufficently describes the scene (we all know what a crystal looks like, no?)

I've become hesitant to involve myself in those materials for the moment. It seems to arouse too much anger from people I don't really want to make angry. Also: do you think it might be better to merge the two into one article, taking the DLC content from the Dev. article, and making a big ol' "Expansions to TES4" article? Then we would muffle Piotrus' old objection to the article's heft while maintaining a more or less sensible definition of what the article should include. I'm not sure what kerfluffles that would create, what with KOT9 being GA and all. (I imagine removing the designation in the merge would be simple enough.) That way we'd have an article we could actually take to FA, rather than one remaining in an awful quasi-state.
It all seems too soon, though, to think of any advance for these articles. Passions are still too high, and the general mood of the Wiki is against it. At present, there seems to be a strong tendency towards a more restrictive reading of Policy and Guideline, to the detriment of any ES candidacy in the near future. Perhaps it would have been possible before the TFA SNAFU. It isn't today. I'm working on Diocletian and Constantine I, which seem to be safe ground. I'd much rather work towards improving the encyclopedia in those areas where I can, than fight some interminable battle against immovable enemies. Thanks for the support, but I think I'm going to have to leave these articles where they are for the present. Geuiwogbil ( Talk) 15:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I was surprised that the decision was delete, not merge, but that's fine - I figure the admins know what they're doing. Nevertheless, I was thinking as a result of the discussion that it would be good to see a Music of Zelda page developed. One of the side effects of researching the topic was that I found the instruments to be a subtopic of the wider discussion, and that Zelda has had a lot of impact within the area of video game music. It should have been obvious, I supposed, but music isn't really my area of expertise. Anyway, it seems to me that there is enough material for a potential GA. Does that seem like a reasonable way forward? Or do you have other suggestions?
I find this interesting, as I only started editing due to WP:SOFIXIT - if I come across valid material when thinking about an AfD, I'm obligated to do what I can to add it. :) But the topic looks interesting after all. - Bilby ( talk) 05:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, could you have a look at the Martha Logan article, and tell me what you think of it? Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 21:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Um, regarding your suggestion to change the lead image..could I ask why? Generally, we have been using the promotional photos made by FOX, but if you have an idea as to why we should change the lead image, I'd be happy to discuss it with you. Our current goal for the article is GA, do you really think it could get to FA? Thanks for your help again. I also rewrote the Day 6 plot, do you think it's better worded? Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 23:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Ooh...pretty.... I like it a lot! It inspires me a lot to see it all laid out like that- especially after I see that if I get MoFF12 to FA, we have a FF12 FT. Oh, and I started a sandbox here for the upcoming List of compilation albums. I'm not sure if the name is going to stick, though- the article is going to be right on the line between an article and a list, with the amount of text it will need, after reception and such. The original stub articles were atrocious, though- it takes a lot of deep breathing before I can start on any one section of that mess. It'll be nice to redirect all of those articles in a week or so, making the project that much neater and tidier. -- PresN ( talk) 04:43, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
I am at a complete loss as to why you closed this FAR without making the article a featured article removal candidate. Notwithstanding that the FAR turned into a slugfest, the article has serious issues in that it's manifestly unstable, in dire need of cleanup (see SandyGeorgia's edits at the end), and has needed frequent protection. This should not be a featured article and I would urge you to reconsider. Stifle ( talk) 08:52, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:Icarus2.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

Please stop removing links to news stories published on the IMDB, as you have done on several Star Wars film pages. While some editors believe that individual IMDB *film* pages to be unreliable (and not to be used as factual references), the news entries there are published by reliable sources - namely StudioBriefing and World Entertainment News Network. These entries are not user-generated content, and in many cases are usually sourced to other major news sources. You are in error in removing those references.

Thanks for the reply. I'll look over the FUR when I get a chance, and I didn't put the article up for FA since I definitely agree with you about making sure the sections can functions as lead-ins for FTs, and the subject as a whole, rather than just a list of Halo stuff.

I know this is dredging up an old issue, but I still don't get it, and I need to understand. Why do articles that have some out-of-universe relevance, such as Mythical creatures in Harry Potter, get deleted while articles that have to do with Middle Earth, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars or Warhammer 40,000 get to sprawl all over Wikipedia with every minute in-universe detail given its own article? The article on the Lightsaber tops 47 K, but if I wanted to create a similar article on magic wands in Harry Potter, I'm sure you'd cry deletion faster than I could type. I don't find this particularly fair. Serendi pod ous 14:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Abductedreturnhome.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

I agree with your comment elsewhere that a merge is always preferred to a deletion if feasible--provided one actually does get consensus, demonstrated on the talk page.

At the Kai Monastery is a young initiate, given the name Silent Wolf. On the feastday of Fehmarn, when all the Kai Lords gather at the monastery, Silent Wolf is sent to cut wood from the surrounding forest as a punishment for his inattention in class. While he is gone, a surprise attack is launched from the Darklands at several places across Sommerlund. The Monastery is assaulted and the gathered Kai Lords massacred. Returning from the woods to find himself the only survivor, Silent Wolf renames himself Lone Wolf and sets out for the capital to inform the King of the loss of the Kai.

Was anyone involved in the article notified, or only people in the FF Project for the most part aware (who coincidentally are pushing for an FT)? And my objection is that FFIII is practically its own game. The development is expansive, there is plenty to say about the presentation (both audio and visual), it has noticeable gameplay enhancements, has its own reception, is very, very well-known (probably more so than the original NES version outside of Japan), sold more than 2 million copies, and also expanded on the storyline. It certainly meets most, if not all notability criterias. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rhinestone.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 00:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC).

Well, I guess you could check www.flikr.com. I'm not sure what to do about licensing tags though. The other option would be to maybe check out some articles on gaming sites to see if they posted anything related to the merchandise. I know famitsu's website does this sometimes.

I agree with the concern; I don't think both Image:FFV ATB.PNG and Image:Final_Fantasy_V_Active_Time_Battle_screenshot.png are necessary. They're both ATB screens and both in English. The relavent policies would be NFCC#3A ("As few non-free content uses as possible are included in each article") and NFCC#8 (with which you're no doubt familiar). A Japanese language version, alternatively, wouldn't seem to be helpful either, as I suspect the only substantial difference would be the language/alphabet (what understanding would we really gain by seeing Japanese characters?) I actually think Image:Final_Fantasy_V_death_crystal_screenshot.png needs to go, too, as the prose sufficently describes the scene (we all know what a crystal looks like, no?)

Thank you for uploading Image:Mickeyspace.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

I've become hesitant to involve myself in those materials for the moment. It seems to arouse too much anger from people I don't really want to make angry. Also: do you think it might be better to merge the two into one article, taking the DLC content from the Dev. article, and making a big ol' "Expansions to TES4" article? Then we would muffle Piotrus' old objection to the article's heft while maintaining a more or less sensible definition of what the article should include. I'm not sure what kerfluffles that would create, what with KOT9 being GA and all. (I imagine removing the designation in the merge would be simple enough.) That way we'd have an article we could actually take to FA, rather than one remaining in an awful quasi-state.
It all seems too soon, though, to think of any advance for these articles. Passions are still too high, and the general mood of the Wiki is against it. At present, there seems to be a strong tendency towards a more restrictive reading of Policy and Guideline, to the detriment of any ES candidacy in the near future. Perhaps it would have been possible before the TFA SNAFU. It isn't today. I'm working on Diocletian and Constantine I, which seem to be safe ground. I'd much rather work towards improving the encyclopedia in those areas where I can, than fight some interminable battle against immovable enemies. Thanks for the support, but I think I'm going to have to leave these articles where they are for the present. Geuiwogbil ( Talk) 15:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I was surprised that the decision was delete, not merge, but that's fine - I figure the admins know what they're doing. Nevertheless, I was thinking as a result of the discussion that it would be good to see a Music of Zelda page developed. One of the side effects of researching the topic was that I found the instruments to be a subtopic of the wider discussion, and that Zelda has had a lot of impact within the area of video game music. It should have been obvious, I supposed, but music isn't really my area of expertise. Anyway, it seems to me that there is enough material for a potential GA. Does that seem like a reasonable way forward? Or do you have other suggestions?
I find this interesting, as I only started editing due to WP:SOFIXIT - if I come across valid material when thinking about an AfD, I'm obligated to do what I can to add it. :) But the topic looks interesting after all. - Bilby ( talk) 05:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Since you've been so helpful with Zelda articles so far, I'd like your thoughts on The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords. Specifically, I'd like to improve it to WP:GA status, but it's tough with this one because it's simply an addon to a previous game ( A Link to the Past).

Thanks for the medal! As for the Link's Awakening ref questions you posed earlier, I'm fairly sure they are all notable. zelda.com is the official zelda site, same with nintendo.co.jp (regional); the japanese are harder to determine, but they popped up referenced in other pages, so I'm going to say they are. ZeldaElements.net is a fan site, however it does have a legal disclaimer, staff page, and so I would say is safely under the umbrella of a site such as HBO, or close to it.

Since you've reviewed some of my nominated articles for WP:GA before, I was wondering if you had time to review other articles that I've nominated.

To be quite honest, it's been so long since I messed with the article I don't remember which citation went with what information. :-P So I don't know if I have the time to go through the references again. I'm still struggling to make time for Halo (series), the VG newsletter, and the how-to guide. I would like to finish it up though; either get it to GA or merge it. I'll try to get to it when I get some more free time, until then, there might be an editor in a better position to get it fixed up. ( Guyinblack25 talk 14:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC))

I'm not sure if the name is going to stick, though- the article is going to be right on the line between an article and a list, with the amount of text it will need, after reception and such.

I am at a complete loss as to why you closed this FAR without making the article a featured article removal candidate.

Please stop removing links to news stories published on the IMDB, as you have done on several Star Wars film pages. While some editors believe that individual IMDB *film* pages to be unreliable (and not to be used as factual references), the news entries there are published by reliable sources - namely StudioBriefing and World Entertainment News Network.

In general, I'm happy to reorganise and adapt what we do based on the discussions. My main comment is at this discussion. Thanks. Carcharoth ( talk) 07:28, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I know this is dredging up an old issue, but I still don't get it, and I need to understand. Why do articles that have some out-of-universe relevance, such as Mythical creatures in Harry Potter, get deleted while articles that have to do with Middle Earth, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars or Warhammer 40,000 get to sprawl all over Wikipedia with every minute in-universe detail given its own article? The article on the Lightsaber tops 47 K, but if I wanted to create a similar article on magic wands in Harry Potter, I'm sure you'd cry deletion faster than I could type. I don't find this particularly fair. Serendi pod ous 14:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for doing this. By the way, what do you think of the article? Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 18:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm about to upload a new image for Season 6, the current one is not significant, so doesn't meet the criteria of NFCC. Right now, I'm doing a lot for the project, I'd invite you to have a thorough look around the project, it's rather elaborate, and I've set up a section for merger discussions. All of it is at WP:24. Our current Article Improvement Drive is Chase Edmunds, I'd like to get it to B class. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 18:31, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

If you've got a chance, could you take a look at Half-Life 2: Episode Two and review it for GA? Cheers! I should also note that a few things are difficult to find, such as sales data, because the game is more like an expansion pack than a full game. Gary King ( talk) 08:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I have too go with reality and state that the film is controversial. If you want to help on the Moore film articles I would greatly appreciate it. The propaganda cat on the other hand is evidence of an extreme bias. If you want to help us fight that I have to warn you that some POV pushing admin might block you. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for uploading Image:Brewsterbox11.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

Hey, I wanted to make sure you noticed I put Dictyostelium discoideum on hold a few days ago. Normally, articles are held for a week. Sorry, I should have left you a note right away, if you need more time let me know. delldot on a public computer talk 00:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I would prefer it if you didn't prod my early articles; just redirect them instead. It would be a sign of respect toward a former Wikipedian. Thanks. — Deckill er 03:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

RfA: Many thanks | |
Many thanks for your participation in my recent request for adminship. I am impressed by the amount of thought that goes into people's contribution to the RfA process, and humbled that so many have chosen to trust me with this new responsibility. I step into this new role cautiously, but will do my very best to live up to your kind words and expectations, and to further the project of the encyclopedia. Again, thank you. -- jbmurray ( talk • contribs) 06:03, 18 May 2008 (UTC) |
Thank you for uploading Image:Abductedreturnhome.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

I want to tell you a few things (nothing bad). I would prefer not to say them here as I know some people would probably take it the wrong way. RobJ1981 ( talk) 05:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
For Nar Shaddaa and similar fictional things, wouldn't it be better to propose a merge on the talk page & see if it gets accepted? You undoubtedly know better where to merge than I do, otherwise I'd do it. DGG ( talk) 13:34, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I guess it's okay, but I'll have to check with Raul654 before I make any decision. Limetolime talk to me • look what I did! 21:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I think the article looks good and I'm glad the naming dispute is over. A question: is the monster's gender ever been revealed? Unless we've got confirmation, it should be an "it". Sceptre ( talk) 01:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
In the future, could you drop a note here whenever you PROD something? (Everything you PROD so far has been merged/redirected for now, thanks.) Uthanc ( talk) 03:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I couldn't help but notice that you flagged a few articles form the Category:Sly Cooper characters for speedy deletion. As far as I can tell, you are right. That said, some of these articles might be notable. Do you think you'd have time to determine which of these articles are clearly non-notable and should be speedily deleted? I would encourage you to do so, and would help keep an eye on the articles if you sent a list back my way. (Of course, don't flag articles that you think have disputable notability.) If you don't have time, I understand as I'm pretty busy myself. Randomran ( talk) 22:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
If you put together a merge request with a brief list of the character articles, I'd respond in the affirmative. That's a good strategy. Randomran ( talk) 22:25, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
...for finding all those Myst articles. :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 18:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree with your comment elsewhere that a merge is always preferred to a deletion if feasible--provided one actually does get consensus, demonstrated on the talk page. And in case there's no agreement there we do need some better way of handing deciding on the validity of a particular merge--though I am very reluctant to propose further bureaucracy. I'll be glad to work with you on a rational approach this. DGG (talk) 19:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm intrigued why you removed the GA tags for this article and left a comment that there wasn't a review. There is link on that page to the review here. HolomorphicHamster ( talk) 01:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
An attempt was made to merge M Continuum with Q Continuum but the information was removed because the M Continuum is only mentioned in one Star Trek novel. Therefore, a better redirect is to that novel, I, Q. -- Ron Ritzman ( talk) 15:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Good Morning Judge. If I have forgotten to complete any other mergers that I have suggested, please remind me to carry them out rather than proposing/nominating for deletion.
Following WP:AGF, I assume that you depopulated category:Star Trek materials by mistake? - Fayenatic (talk) 12:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Judgesurreal777...I do not know why you felt it necessary to blank this page. I have those boxes on that page to denote which projects might find what is on the main page useful. If you look closely, there was never any assertion that that page was an article page. All of them are marked as NA with no importance. In the future, please discuss prior to page blanking. - LA @ 00:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
This is with regards to your recent elimination of the Mysteria Film Group topic. You had cited that the the article in question was "not notable". Can you cite the appropriate Wikipedia guideline from which you made this decision?
I assert that the article meets the WP:TPA guidelines. It follows the NPOV policy by citing the appropriate reference for each fact presented.
I would like your help in addressing the issues you see in this article, but I need more specific feedback. Which items in the article do you find problematic?

Hello. Did you send me an email? I tried replying but got a 'no such user' error. You may want to update your email or send another if you want the reply. The short answer, btw, was no. -- zzuuzz (talk) 09:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Why not pick a few articles that you are interested in and would like to see improved and brought to good or featured status and let's work together to do that as I think it would be a rewarding experience for the both of us rather than wasting time in AfDs? Anyway, I think it will help us better work together with greater understanding and colleagiality. Anyway, as I already added you to my List of nice wikipedians (obviously, I find lists relevant), I am wondering if there's something we can colloborate on that we could bring to good or featured status and that could earn you another posting there?

Flight from the Dark | 1984 | (media) |
At the Kai Monastery is a young initiate, given the name Silent Wolf. On the feastday of Fehmarn, when all the Kai Lords gather at the monastery, Silent Wolf is sent to cut wood from the surrounding forest as a punishment for his inattention in class. While he is gone, a surprise attack is launched from the Darklands at several places across Sommerlund. The Monastery is assaulted and the gathered Kai Lords massacred. Returning from the woods to find himself the only survivor, Silent Wolf renames himself Lone Wolf and sets out for the capital to inform the King of the loss of the Kai.
According to sales figures, this first book sold over 100,000 copies in its first month of publication alone. |

Please note that since your nomination, I have made and am still in the process of making a number of changes ranging from grammar fixes to asserting notability to referencing out of universe content, etc. see for the active efforts to improve the article.

Hi there, I see that you are a primary contributor to the article Australia and weapons of mass destruction. This article has come under review for Good article reassessment as part of GA Sweeps and a number of problems have been identified which are listed on the talk page. Please begin to address these points in the next seven days or the article will be delisted from GA and will have to go through the GAN process all over again to regain its status once improvements have been made. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 10:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Was anyone involved in the article notified, or only people in the FF Project for the most part aware (who coincidentally are pushing for an FT)? And my objection is that FFIII is practically its own game. The development is expansive, there is plenty to say about the presentation (both audio and visual), it has noticeable gameplay enhancements, has its own reception, is very, very well-known (probably more so than the original NES version outside of Japan), sold more than 2 million copies, and also expanded on the storyline. It certainly meets most, if not all notability criterias. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:20, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
