I have given you access to all of the Myst articles you requested with the exception of D'ni Kings and this was because that article had no content whatsoever. Only a single edit took place before the article was CSD'd and that was to redirect it to List of D'ni kings. If you have any other questions or need any other help, feel free to let me know. One point though, seeing that this was not technically a deletion review, a better place to have made this request would probably have been the Administrator Noticeboard, it probably would have been responded fast to as well. Have a good evening. Trusilver 00:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Recently, an anonymous IP made a change to the article D'ni. I have reverted the change and written an explanation on their talk page.
Looks like the task force won't happen, but I'm a lone-wolf editor anyhow :P I've begun the cleanup and finding of sources for Myst (video game)- looks like there's enough development info to use, and lots on legacy, but the real issue is we have to find reviews for the game, which are most likely off the net from print publications way back when. Anyway, cheers, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 23:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
It looks like you're going to town on the actual video game articles (e.g. Myst, Riven, etc.) so I'm going to work on the more in-universe stuff like the characters and Ages.
What do you think? — OranL ( talk) 22:13, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
I've created a Workshop where I'm coming up with article skeletons and such for the articles. My proposals are to merge information on the D'ni, Bahro, Art and books into Myst canon, and merge all the characters into Characters of Myst. I'm pretty sure there's not enough 3rd-party information to justify an "Ages of..." article, so I say drop it. I've also developed a skeleton for what I hope will be a good series article. Comment there or make changes! Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 14:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Please don't change my user page. Thank you! — OranL ( talk) 23:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Maybe you can clear this up. Who created the Age of Myst? I’ve seen it as Atrus in publications (probably just erroneous, based on the games, not the novels) but both Catherine and Ti’ana are claimed to have written it in separate places. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 17:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
One more thing. When you have a chance can you run through the plot summaries for Myst IV and Myst V. As I’ve never played either of them (I am assuming you have) any fixes would be appreciated. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 16:53, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
So that means there's three for Myst, two for both myst II, III, IV, and V: so 11 images total, ideally. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 17:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I noticed you speedily deleted this image. Can you please undelete this image? I have license information to add to it ({{ ubisoft-screenshot}}) that will make it okay for use on Wikipedia. Thank you! — OranL ( talk) 19:13, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
I responded at the workshop page. While I've done it with lots of games in the past, i'm not sure if it will fit with any or all of the Myst games, but if you rough something up we can see how it would work. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 12:05, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, the multiplayer is a total train wreck. From the sources I've been looking at, we might be able to merge the article into Uru, but first I was to clean up Uru. I'm working on Myst IV and V, once those are done I'm going to sit down and look at the possibilities for Uru. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 11:46, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
That was general reception... there's some good quotes about the guy spending three days straight playing Myst. The women gamers link I have to find, it was in ProQuest somewhere... Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 20:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
...much better choice. :) -- UsaSatsui ( talk) 21:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
The ProQuest account no longer works! (I mean, I was going to abuse it for other articles, but luckily I've got 50-75% of the sources for Myst IV, V and URU locally stored...) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 23:39, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you've assessed an article or two... As someone who has read, looked over articles, and compared them to the quality and importance charts, I wonder if there is any formal requirements for assessing articles or if it's okay to just go ahead and assess them myself. If it's the later, that's good; if it's the former, then I hope I don't get in any trouble for the couple of articles I've done this to in the past, or those I'm about to. -- coldacid ( talk| contrib) 02:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

and that works (of course, vary the class and importance according to the specific article that you're assessing

Can I merge those 4 DRV's into one DRV for four articles? I think the issues will basically be all the same: fair use exemption or no. I won't do it if you don't want me to, though. Protonk ( talk) 03:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I personally use work for printed publications such as magazines, etc, and publishers for online sites. Whether or not that's right or not, I dunno, but I was told at a past FAC to do it that way, and aesthetically I prefer it anyhow :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 22:27, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Akira class starship.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia 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 under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. -- EEMIV ( talk) 17:41, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey OranL!
I just want to make sure if an old version of my monobook javascript page is properly configured.
Also, if it is, then am I supposed to refresh the page every time I want to see the extra buttons/functions???
Thank you, ~ Troy ( talk) 21:51, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
No problem! I have already installed Lupin's anti-vandalism tool—which is still better than my old method of manually patrolling recent changes. Thanks again! ~ Troy ( talk) 17:10, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Feel free to change ratings you disagree with, but I am thinking that most characters, except for the big leads, aren't of the highest priority for the Star Trek project. Ones with high priorities are a much much smaller group than the lower priority ones. Articles on Star Trek as a whole, its popularity, the shows, the movies, Kirk/Spock/Picard are all high/top class articles, so if that is so, the others must by necessity be lower, otherwise the high/top ones don't get enough attention as there are too many of them, and keep us from focusing on the ones that are really top priority. Just my thoughts. Judgesurreal777 ( talk) 20:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

You recently filed a request at Wikipedia:Requested moves to move the page Star Trek (original series) to a different title - however your proposal is either incomplete or has been contested as being controversial. As a result, it has been moved to the incomplete and contested proposals section. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.
Please make sure you have completed all three of the following:
If you need any further guidance, please leave a message at Wikipedia talk:Requested moves or contact me on my talk page. - JPG-GR ( talk) 17:48, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't see your original heading. I dunno, I suppose we could add in the joystick, but I was thinking more on the lines of the original release. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 19:26, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Please see the full conversation for more information about this seemingly-random posting. — OranL ( talk) 08:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
I tried to restore the image, but it appears to have been deleted before we had the capability to restore images (either that, or the image isn't coming back for some other, unrelated, reason). I'd be glad to vouch for any further uploads, obviously, but I don't think I can get that one back. ( ESkog)( Talk) 01:47, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Just check out commons:Category:Star Trek if you need any more of these. Admiral Norton ( talk) 14:38, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Hah, that's 'cause I copied the template from the half-smoke article, and musta forgotten to fix it. Good catch! -- Der Wohltempierte Fuchs ( talk) 13:49, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Just a quick hi, to say I acted on your comment in Total Recall.
(And btw, people learning to type on typewriters were taught that two spaces after a sentence period made it easier to read. And since typewriters could not use proportional spacing, the two spaces emulated more expensive typesetting with customized spacing. I tend to remove the second space in Wikipedia, but that's in part because the source often has markup language.) Cheers. Piano non troppo ( talk) 19:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated Begin (computer game), an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Begin (computer game) (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to address the nominator's concerns but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. -- Steve, Sm8900 ( talk) 13:43, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Soval.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 13:08, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

The file File:Table color IE7 vs FF3.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Orphaned file with no obvious value in transferring to Commons
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
