In the Punkbuster article you made a specific claim that people were getting banned from games, due to strings embedded in images on Internet forums. Theres a lot of controversy and hearsay surrounding software like Punkbuster and this claim is unsubstantiated. Also people tend to be somewhat technically ignorant and attribute their problems to the wrong things so there needs to be a source other than hearsay. I added a fact tag and I'm just letting you know so you can do that if you wish, before it gets deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.71.178 ( talk) 13:57, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
Firstly, i can understand why you would remove the CerealKillaz link, even though it is the most active site about the game not sponsored by Wizards, but why remove the puremtgo links and other link that have been there for years with no issues? Meuslix ( talk) 18:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

There is no evidence that a virtual economy was part of Wizards' original design. Use of tickets are currency appears to have been a player invention. If this is incorrect, provide proof. Also, MTGO is now referred to by its owner as a Trading Card Game. Therefore, collectibility is inapplicable. If you have proof that Wizards intended the cards to be collectible (in the sense of having monetary value), please provide it. --BentFranklin BentFranklin ( talk) 16:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
I agree that some of the things I originally said are POV. However, it is a fact that the cost of redemption is baked into the purchase price of packs. Therefore, I believe removing "players feel that" is entirely justified. --BentFranklin
The net effect of IPA as prizes is *identical* to selling the packs, not just similar. Packs in circulation (opened and unopened) that would have been from current standard sets are instead IPA and the amount of money spent on the game is the same, if not more (due to the lure of IPA in tournaments). Also, this paragraph needs some sort of conclusion statement about the impact of this on collectibility. --BentFranklin

If you think you can write a properly-sourced article--and it appears you may have found sources--then you definitely should. I'll move the deleted content of Apache James to User:Ham Pastrami/Apache James and you can work on it there. When you've got it up to speed, drop me a line.

Argh; sorry to stop by your talk page to disagree again... I haven't really been up for Wikipedia lately, and let me say first that I am glad you're taking an interest in the Magic articles, despite my disagreement with some of your edits - better for them to be tended by somebody, certainly.
But you said in a recent edit to the MTGO article "no more unnecessary notes please." I'm not sure if you disagreed with my notes in particular or if footnotes in general, but at risk of pointing out the obvious, "additional commentary" is precisely what footnotes are for. See, for example, Inaugural games of the Flavian Amphitheatre and several other Featured Articles that feature simply explanatory footnotes that cover corner cases. Removing this kind of information outright strikes me as a bad idea, since the fact that it is a license is important but would distract the flow of the writing if written out and is generally irrelevant for most people. There are lots of explanatory footnotes in the main MTG article, too, which serve the fairly important purpose of making sure people don't add long-winded "corrections" to statements that are 98% correct. As an example, I seem to recall anonymous editors listing out every possible win/loss condition in that article when really only two are relevant and the others can be mentioned in a footnote.

Your recent edits to Micromanagement (gameplay) are interesting as they raise some aspects that the previous version did not cover. Unfortunately at the same time they also hide the distinction between combat and economic micro, which is a significant topic on games forums that I've seen. When I started think about how to incorporate both the "twitch-based" / "policy-based" distinction and the "combat" / "economic" distinction I realised there were other aspects the article should cover, and that we probably need to discuss a wider range of game models. I've set out my thoughts at Talk:Micromanagement (gameplay) - please respond there. Philcha ( talk) 10:46, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to be a pain, but you did not follow the recommended procedure Help:Merging and moving pages - you should have put a tag on the page "proposed move - please discuss" and waited for about a month. One consequence of moving without disussion is that it will set some people's vandalism sensors to brightest red with klaxons blaring, and you already know how some people can over-react. In this case I think the move you made was reasonable, although I would not have done it. But Revision history of Dinosaur for 12 May 2008 shows how an important article was moved by a vandal and quick action was necessary. Philcha ( talk) 11:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

You put that template saying that articles should be deleted as non-notable on dozens of articles with apparently very little justification. What were you thinking ? For example, the Novell Open Enterprise Server is a well known platform, and the almost 3-year old article has many refs to secondary sources to establish it's notability, and a simple Google search finds 478,000 hits. It's quite clear to me that you put almost no effort into determining if these articles were notable before slapping the "delete in 5 days" template on all of them (many of those templates were added within a minute of each other). Therefore, I'm going to remove those templates. Please do some research and actually read the articles before doing this type of thing again. StuRat ( talk) 22:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Reindenting. You avoided answering my previous comment, which I take as silent admission that your mass delisting was unfounded. What you consider little effort on my part is apparently still more effort than anyone else has thus far cared to put into sourcing the articles. It was also more effort than you put into your blanket delisting. How's your research and sourcing effort coming along btw? I've also now noticed from your user page that you are also an unabashed inclusionist. There's clearly no amount of justification that will satisfy you since your objection isn't based on merit at all, but your own aversion to seeing things get deleted. I think your claims to the contrary, such as with the Novell article, are actually just convenient excuses for you to engage in the behavior that you wanted to and would have engaged in, regardless. As evidence, according to your edit history, the Novell article was one you ran into in the middle of your blanket edits. You had already begun mass removal of prods prior to running across that article. Thus your initial comment that you would remove the prods from all articles because of the apparent incorrectness of the Novell nomination was just smoke and mirrors. You have been dishonest and disingenuous from the start and have no leg to stand on. Have a nice day. Ham Pastrami ( talk) 18:56, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Uh, i'm biased as the maintainer so I'm not writing on BLAG's "Articles for Deletion" page but doesn't the fact that the man (Stallman) who defined "Free Software" and wrote the GPL recommends my distro make it relevant enough for a few bytes on wikipedia? It's listed as one of the few distros the Free Software Foundation explicitly recommends due to it's commitment to Free Software. It seems to meet the criteria of "WikiProject Free Software".

"Blindly removing the templates is, at best, a lateral move." -- StuRat did right to your blindly adding the templates (which I at best can describe as a stupidity paroxysm). And just for the record: if "The FSF coverage is neither significant nor reliable" then your personal opinion is even less significant or reliable.

You seem to be using the term "procedural nomination" in a very odd context without any justification or reasoning behind it - usually it indicates the person nominating has no opinion of the article themselves but are doing is because that's the due process (e.g. via WP:DRV or incomplete nominations). You seem to be using it in a different way to indicate a prod taken to AFD, which isn't "procedural" at all. - Halo ( talk) 23:44, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Mm3 automap.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. RJaguar3 | u | t 04:40, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Mm3 automap.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hi Ham Pastrami,
Just so you know for the future, the burden of showing non-replaceability falls on the uploader, as per WP:NFCC#Enforcement: "Note that it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale; those seeking to remove or delete it are not required to show that one cannot be created—see burden of proof." Further, the first WP:NFCC criterion allows non-free images to be used only "where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." (emphasis added).
Let me know if you have any questions about our non-free content policy. Thanks, RJaguar3 | u | t 16:26, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello, you removed the following two sentences from the freeware article:
Your explanation was: can be true of all software, not at all specific to freeware.
1. I don't think that you are right. Adware is usually advertised as freeware, not as a commercial software or open source software. (Please, give me an example, if you know about such advertisement.)
2. You are right that the "terms of use" for all types of software are usually defined in a software license. But in the case of "free software" the license is usually not unique for every single software and it usually uses one of universal licenses - such as GPL or BSD. By contrast, a freeware license is mostly unique. I think this information is useful and appropriate for the article.
3. You are right that every single software may have very different terms of use. But in the case of "free software" - if someone knows that a software uses GPL license, the terms of use are commonly known, clear and universal. By contrast, a freeware license is mostly unique and users must read it very carefully to understand the terms. I think this information is very useful and appropriate for the article.
Many people believe that "freeware" is only about the price and it can be used for any purpose and in any environment. This is not true, because many freeware licenses do not allow various types of usage. I think it is important to write about this in the first sentences of the freeware article. -- 89.173.67.199 ( talk) 15:19, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Ham Pastrami, I noticed that a few years ago you'd added 2 books to the Misc publishers section of the WP:VG Reference Library, but you didn't list yourself as a contact. I was wondering if you intended to be the contact for these sources or if they were just two books you knew of that weren't yet on the list. If you intended to be listed as a contact, then I'd like to add your name. If it's just two video game related books you know about, though, I'd prefer to move them to the talk page for now since the page is intended as a list of contact points more than it is a list of books. Does that sound reasonable? I know you haven't been editing very actively recently, but please let me know when you get a chance. Thanks. - Thibbs ( talk) 11:39, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ham Pastrami, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Ultra ATX, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ultra ATX.
Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Aunva6}}
