User talk:Falc

If you feel like leaving me a note, I'm told this is the place to do it.

PERSONALLY, I'd think some sort of email would be better, and certainly more private, but... this is Wiki, which is often wonky.:)

Hi JT, I took the liberty of clarifying the text regarding Frank and his re-admission to NAFA. This is correct as I remember the way things were. Brian

Thanks, Brian. I appreciate the help!

re: Knut (polar bear)

Hello, JT, thanks for getting in touch. While I agree that it's important for Knut's article to mention that the zoo is considering relocating the bear because of size issues, I think that's as far as it should go. Wikipedia isn't a soapbox, and articles should strive to be neutral. I don't have a personal opinion about the matter, and neither should the article, really. :) I'll update it shortly with recent goings on. María (habla conmigo) 14:12, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't seen anything, do you have any sources you can give to me? I'll add it right away if you can send them over. Mike H. Fierce! 14:49, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:38, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Editing My Writing

Before you presume to edit anything I've edited or written, GET AHOLD OF ME ABOUT IT. I don't do things without reason. Thank you. --JT (talk) 01:38, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Puzzle & Dragons

It is not relevant in the long term discussion of Puzzle & Dragons to say that it is presently incompatible with the newest edition of Android. There is no need to place a warning on Puzzle & Dragons to tell people of this incompatibility so please do not add it to the article again.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:35, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also please note that you are currently well past the threshhold of violating the "three-reverts rule" at Puzzle & Dragons. You have been reverted on the page many times, not only because you have been signing your additions, but also because I have challenged the fact that it needs a mention in the article at all. Please use Talk:Puzzle & Dragons to suggest changes and never leave anyone messages like this, again as that is an extreme violation of the "no personal attacks" policy.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 04:42, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stop adding the issue of compatibility to the lead paragraph. It does not belong there. Wikipedia does not exist to provide consumer warnings. Stop editing the article to add this information improperly. Also, you do not have to add tildes in the edit summary. Just on comments like the one I'm leaving here.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:15, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, your'e starting to get on my tits in a big way. It is NOT accurate to say that it's Android compatible anymore. What the F is your problem? This is not YOUR game, not YOUR article, and you're acting in a way that would get you in very deep trouble anywhere else. I'm about to report you to admin for review on this nonsense. Chris and I ARE acting responsibly with this. YOU are acting like it somehow speaks ill of the game to be honest and up-front about that aspect. What a JERK! You WANT people to think it's true and allow 5.0 and then not be able to play PAD for several months or more?!

I'm fed up with you. Tried the nice guy. Chris said you'd agreed to leave it alone. Guess we should have known better. Now it's time to go far over your head.

JT (talk) 07:18, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It DOES belong there, and I'm about to report YOU. YOU are vandalizing the article that TWO of us have changed back repeatedly. It IS relevant that it doesn't run under ALL versions of Android. You really that computer-illiterate? JT (talk) 07:22, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

JT, the video game Puzzle & Dragons is made for iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire. The fact that they have not patched the game for Lollipop is not enough to say that it is not for Android. The content concerning the compatibility of Android OS versions has been incorporated in the "Development" section (see it at Puzzle & Dragons#Development), as well as information concerning obsolecense of older versions of iOS and Android. It does not belong at the top as a "warning" and it does not belong in "Criticism". Please stop adding this "warning" to the top of the article. It is unfortunate that you cannot play the game right now because you did not read that message weeks ago. But it is not the place of Wikipedia to post this information as you have been doing. Please stop adding this to the article in a poorly written manner in a place it does not belong. Please listen to me. I am trying to be calm and kind to you and you have done nothing but be abusive to me.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 07:23, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are not helping to resolve the situation with your improper tone Ryulong. It belongs in the article, but probably not in the lede. The user is not familiar with Wikipedia or its policies and is simply trying to inform other people of the issue. Being a loose cannon and restoring your arguments when you go ape-shit on people doing the same on your page is also particularly bad form. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 16:31, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly written manner, Ryulong? I am published -- in the real corporeal, professional world. The wording of my last edit was simply "through 4.4" which does nothing more or less than make the statement accurate. It is NOT accurate to state that PAD runs on Android without that caveat. This has been referenced. Quite frankly, you have issues. For whatever reason, you seem to have something personal in all of this. No unbiased and rational person would object to the addition of those two words and a Ref. Chris is correct. I have never known (nor cared enough to take the tremendous amount of time needed to find out) about Wiki's rules, etc. I'm too busy in real life to do so. Try constructive assistance; fix the syntax errors, instead of getting all control-freak as if you owned stock in GungHo and thought candor about the OS issue was going to cost you money. Or maybe that IS the real issue? Bottom line: my editvis accurate, verifiable, valid, and IS of significant import, so keep your mittens off of the edit from now on. You have ZERO valid cause, and I'm taking your actions as vandalism at this point, as would any objective observer. That Chris has been in agreement SHOULD have been enough for you. Stand down. P.S. @Ryulong If you understood the technological reason *why* PAD isn't loading now, you would realize that this isn't just waiting for a patch. It will take a major rewrite of the game before will run under ART. well I'm reasonably sure that GungHo will make that investment, it is not going to be quick or easy. additionally, from this point forward there will be at least different Android versions to tend to with EVERY update. From a tech standpoint, this is a BIG deal, as GungHo's existing code cannot be parsed by ART. (This sort of education is what you might try with Wiki noobies in the future.) JT (talk) 17:40, 19 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is the issue here. The fact that you and everyone else who didn't listen to GungHo weeks ago is not a reason to add this information to the article in the way you have been doing. I do not care about the technical reason behind it. I don't care what warning you get when you open up the game. What matters here is writing about PAD so that people get a general grasp of the game and not use the page as a consumer reports warning. Your accusation of a perceived conflict of interest is also inappropriate. Just because you have a source that supports your edit does not mean that it must be in the article. An update to the Japanese edition of PAD is rolling out on Monday and it will address the 5.0 compatibility issues for Japanese users which means it will roll out to the North American, European, Korean, and Hong Kong servers in the coming weeks. Therefore there is no reason to include this in the article anymore starting Monday. Please stop being so combative over this. I understand you are upset but look on the bright side. We might be able to get Puzzdroid after the update hits he Google play store.—Ryūlóng (琉竜) 10:52, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@ryulong You really are too dense. This is about accuracy. My comment on your motive is about the only thing that makes sense when one sees how hard you're fighting to not have the basic truth in the article whether it is for 5 weeks, 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years. If you're that desperate for not have it there, when it is no longer accurate feel free to revisit that page and revert at that time. In the meantime you truly are vandalizing an accurate, verifiable and worthwhile edit.

Not that you deserve this, but I'll also add that I did received a notification, but disregarded it based on logic presented by another user, who pointed out that since there are millions of Android phones making GH millions of dollars a day, they would not allow it to be incompatible on launch day. This still seems a valid logic, and the fact that it remains unresolved in spite of such losses is further proof of the severity of the nature of the problem.

it was two words and a reference. Put them back. Thank you. - JT (talk) 11:04, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
