User talk:MrSue

Welcome to StrategyWiki!
Hello MrSue! Welcome to StrategyWiki. Thank you for your contributions. If you have any questions, just contact a sysop through their talk page or post on the staff lounge, and they'd be happy to help. If you need help editing, check the StrategyWiki Guide. If you have a question about the content on this wiki, you can check out our staff lounge page. If you want to ask questions or hang out in IRC, we're usually around. On the other hand, if you have ideas for StrategyWiki, bring them up on the community portal talk page. Please remember to sign your name on, and only on, talk pages by clicking or using four tildes (    ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Finally, please do your best to always fill in the edit summary field as this helps to document all of your hard work. Feel free to delete this message from your talk page if you like, or keep it for reference. Happy editing! -- 01:04, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Requested guides
Apart from completely ignoring the request template when requesting a guide, you haven't actually requested a specific guide; just a few pages. Added to that, you created the pages just to ask for them to be written by someone else, which doesn't help anyone, and is actually counter-productive, because it makes people think the pages have been written, by the fact that they exist. I hope in future you'll pay more attention to the way StrategyWiki works before diving in and asking things of the community. --DrBob (talk) 01:09, 17 January 2008 (CST)

What Are you talking about and what you say means?(MrSue 01:10, 17 January 2008 (CST))
 * Basically: please don't create pages just saying "can someone create this page please?". It's counter-productive. :-(
 * I am, however, pleased to see you're contributing to the StarCraft II guide now. :-) --DrBob (talk) 01:15, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Another warning
Can you please stop creating guides with no useful content and just a request to people asking them to write a guide. People will write the guides when they get around to it, and putting requests like that up isn't going to help. Use the requested guides page correctly to notify people of the guides you'd like to see, and maybe someone will write them. However, if you continue to just create pages consisting of guide requests, I may have to ban you. --DrBob (talk) 01:12, 30 January 2008 (CST)

Advance Wars + note
I hadn't realized the new one was out already, yay. If you want I could take a break on my current projects and focus on fixing up/adding to one of the previous Advance Wars pages(I have the previous 3 games stashed away somewhere). Is there a specific section or aspect you need help with or want to see finished up?

note - The template buttons right above the box where we enter text are really useful when starting a new page. For example the Guide page one adds the footers and headers that make navigation between pages in a guide easyer. Could you please use one of the template buttons the next time you make a new page. --Zaiqukaj 04:20, 28 January 2008 (CST)

Contributing Better
Hello MrSue, your contributions have been bad and good. We want you to be better. Can you do things better? If you want to make a new page, click the button above the edit box that says "Guide page." If you do that, it will automatically put the Header Nav and Footer Nav on the page for you. Where are you from? -- 01:56, 30 January 2008 (CST)
 * I have deleted what you added to the Heatseeker page. Please try to put the information on a proper subpage to keep the guide organized.  To do this, visit the Heatseeker/Table of Contents page and add a link (just follow the format there).  Save the page and then click the link you just created. On that page, there will be a "Guide page" button at the top.  Click that and add in any information that belongs there.  For reference, the information you added earlier can be found here. Happy editing :) -- Prod (Talk) 20:37, 13 February 2008 (CST)
 * If you are copying information from another website, you have to tell where you got it from. Putting a link in your edit summary back to the website you got the information from satisfies this.  Otherwise it is consider plagiarism. -- Prod (Talk) 09:04, 26 February 2008 (CST)
 * I saw your contributions to the Command & Conquer/GDI Units‎. If you know you will be adding a lot of information to a page, instead of editing section by section, please try to use the edit button at the top of the page and add all the information in one edit.  It saves you the trouble of waiting through multiple page loads, and keeps the page histories cleaner.  The guide is looking good so far, keep it up :). -- Prod (Talk) 22:17, 7 March 2008 (CST)

Final Warning
Understand this very carefully. The only reason you are logged in and reading this is because I decided, against my better judgment, not to ban you. You have always been, and continue to be, a negative influence around this community, and I'm very tired of it. You don't seem to understand how this site operates, and you don't appear to have any patience or desire to comprehend the idea of collaborative contributions. If you keep up this attitude and spew your venom throughout more talk pages I will ban you from editing on StrategyWiki. I want to be very clear about this. You will be prevented from making any more edits. If you don't want to lose this privilege, pay attention to the following suggestions. Again, let me make this very clear: No one cares about your agenda. This is a community site, and it is built through collaboration and teamwork. Either get with the program or get lost. Personally, I'd be happy if you just never returned at all. I look forward to banning you unless your attitude changes. Procyon (Talk) 10:36, 3 February 2008 (CST)
 * No one is required to add guides for the games you request. If someone feels like working on a requested guide, they are free to do so if they like, but no one is required to.  The fact is, no one may ever add your requested guides.  Deal with it.
 * People make spelling mistakes. It's a fact of life.  If you see that someone made a spelling mistake, go and edit the page to correct the spelling and stop being a whiny little bitch about it.
 * Games only appear in Category pages if the page exists, and the correct Category label has been applied to the page. If a game is missing from the Category page, it is most likely because a guide for that game doesn't exist.  If it does exist, and you think it belongs to a Category, add the Category label yourself, and shut the hell up about the fact that it's missing.
 * Just quit asking "can someone edit this." Also, your grammar isn't perfect either.  -- 15:18, 3 February 2008 (CST)

Well if I get banned happened please delete this talkpage and userpage rather than locking them up. Also delete user accounts afterward.(MrSue 00:10, 4 February 2008 (CST))


 * No. Procyon (Talk) 09:20, 4 February 2008 (CST)

Why not? Why keeping talkpages and userpages of Banned users? Also why can't you delete user accounts for once?(MrSue 23:57, 4 February 2008 (CST))


 * We keep a record of everything. -- 04:21, 5 February 2008 (CST)

Rushing, turtling, etc.
You can't just create pages like "Rushing" and "Turtling" which aren't sub-paged and in a guide. All pages have to be part of a guide, and as such I've deleted those pages, since they didn't have much content anyway. While I can see that a general page for strategies for all RTS games might be an idea, you should bring it up on Community Issues first, and let the community discuss it and determine the best way to do it.

Additionally, all the images you've uploaded this morning will have to be re-uploaded, as they don't have the game name in their filenames. For example, "Orcagunship.jpg" should be "CnCTS_Orca_gunship.jpg", to show that the image is for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Please think and check what you're doing before you do it, or people will continue to be angry with you, and you will get banned. --DrBob (talk) 01:14, 8 February 2008 (CST)

Did that for the Black Hand image and the M1 Abrams tank article is made for to list of what games is the Tank in. The M1 Abrams is in alot of video games lately.(MrSue 00:18, 10 February 2008 (CST))
 * Thank you and well done for uploading the black hand image properly. The reason I deleted the M1 Abrams article is because we currently don't allow such articles to not be for a specific game. If you think it's a good idea, please bring the issue up in community issues, as I've said already. --DrBob (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2008 (CST)

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin Guide - Regional Differences
Do me a favor and stop deleteing what I've written. Understand that I have the EU version so what I've written is right for the EU version and not made up rubbish ok?

If what I have written is different in another version (US version) add it in with a forward dash (e.g. Brenner / O’Brain / Brown, where Brenner is the US name, O'Brain is EU and Brown is the JAP version).

I'm getting tired of you deleteing what I've written so please stop. I don't mind people editing and adding to what I've written...in fact, I wish more people would but please understand that there are regional differences. Firenova 07:44, 9 February 2008 (CST)


 * What are you talking about? Also I have the US version and I am rewriting the page not trying to delete the text.(MrSue 00:02, 10 February 2008 (CST))


 * Edits made to Advance Wars: Days of Ruin/COs on the 9 February 2008 is one example where you deleted the EU version instead of using forward dashs. There are other examples but there's little point in me going though all your records. All I'm asking is that you add the US version beside the EU and JAP versions rather then writing over them.Firenova 11:11, 11 February 2008 (CST)

Ace Combat
You've requested this article but can you give some speciofic details? There are many Ace Combat games. Vikrant AP 05:46, 17 February 2008 (CST)

I meant all of them thank you.(MrSue 23:40, 17 February 2008 (CST))

Starcraft 2 images
Please name your images correctly with the game initials in front of them so  will become , this will tell people which game it is from. I have renamed your incorrect images, please name them correctly in the future. Thanks.-- The preceding signed comment was added by Rocky (talk • contribs). 11:09, 25 February 2008 (CST)

Image naming
I see you've been uploading a few images lately. When doing so, could you please make sure to name them properly? The image policy is viewable here, and contains all the information you'll need to name future uploads. --Prod (Talk) 08:50, 26 February 2008 (CST)
 * Also, you have uploaded some .png images as .jpg, Image:SC2 Marine.jpg is one of them, can you make sure you upload them with the correct extension in future. Thanks.-- The preceding signed comment was added by Rocky (talk • contribs). 11:05, 26 February 2008 (CST)
 * On a minor note about images, when using the thumb parameter, don't give a pixel size with it. It will automatically shrink the image to whatever size the user has in their preferences.  And once again, please remember to name your images properly.  It just creates more work for other people. From this point on, if you do not upload them properly, they will simply be deleted. -- Prod (Talk) 23:36, 26 February 2008 (CST)
 * Additionally, you will be temporarily banned until you learn how to follow basic simple directions. First for one day, then for two days, and so on until you figure out how to name images properly.  The images you uploaded last night will be deleted.  If you upload them improperly, your temporary banning will begin.  I'm tired of this.  Procyon (Talk) 08:56, 27 February 2008 (CST)

Well Im Sorry but the only one who edit the CNC articles and images were just me. Everyone else that edit CNC articles and images are over here http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. Why dont you go over there and ask those users to come here and upload better images at this Wiki?(MrSue 23:29, 27 February 2008 (CST))
 * It's not the quality of the images, it's how you upload them. Improper naming, categorization, and display take away from the aesthetics of the site.  Having all the great information is useless if noone wants to read it.  Please just follow the guidelines (they aren't very hard to follow) and everyone will be happy.
 * As a summary, here's what needs to be fixed:
 * When copying information from another site, tell where you got it from in the summary. (Got data from http: //site.com/page)
 * Name each image so that it has the name of the game (or at least an acronym). Ex. CnC3 MARV.jpg
 * When adding images to a page, if you use thumb (must be lower case) do not put a size (don't add 200px)
 * Verify the file format. This one is a bit tough, so we're not too worried about it (the browser will handle it usually).  The easiest way to verify if it is correct is simply to check on the image page.  It should say "MIME type: image/xxx" just below the image.  That is the correct format for the image, so it's filename should be the same type.
 * If you have any problems with any of this, feel free to ask questions (on my talk page or on the Staff lounge). As long as you make the effort to follow the policies, everyone will benefit :).  Happy editing -- Prod (Talk) 23:46, 27 February 2008 (CST)
 * Much better :). I forgot one last thing.  If you could mark any images you no longer need with delete we'd appreciate it.  Some people look around now and then for unused images, but tagging them for attention is a great help.  We'll delete whatever you don't need so we only keep the best stuff. Thanks, and keep up the good work! -- Prod (Talk)
 * Avoid putting a period in the middle of the filename. Only one period should appear before the file extension.  Use a dash (-), underscore (_), or even a space  between names.  Thanks.  Procyon (Talk) 22:28, 28 February 2008 (CST)

Multiple edits to the same page
Please try to consolidate your edits into one large edit. You've made about 15 edits to Battalion Wars 2/Units within 20 minutes, and they could all have been combined into one if you were more patient. Try writing it up in a text editor like Notepad and then copying it to StrategyWiki. Thanks, -- 00:10, 3 March 2008 (CST)
 * You just edited Smash Bros. Brawl/Characters 17 times in 24 minutes. That's 1.4 edits per minute to the same page.  Edit it again and I'll ban you.  Take your time, read the whole page, copy it somewhere, make the edits you want, then make the changes AS A WHOLE.  -- 01:28, 20 March 2008 (CDT)
 * It's gone up to 28 edits, and you're banned for 3 days. Listen when we tell you to stop doing things incorrectly, and learn how we tell you to do them instead. I'm sick of wasting time patrolling billions of tiny edits from you, each of which needs alterations for spelling, grammar and typesetting: combine them into one big edit, and check it. --DrBob (talk) 06:15, 20 March 2008 (CDT)

Copyright violation
You cannot copy text directly from other sites in large quantities like you are. Most of them have notices at the bottom stating that the work is copyrighted. You may copy from wikipedia if you reference them, but most other websites are not allowed. You can copy a sentence or two, but you must say where you got the sentence from. We would much prefer if you wrote up the info yourself. -- Prod (Talk) 22:53, 3 March 2008 (CST)
 * Standard data that can be easily obtained (price, name, production building, etc) can be used without a problem. -- Prod (Talk) 23:06, 3 March 2008 (CST)

StarCraft II Creature Data
Where are you getting your information? The StarCraft II site has not confirmed any buildings, nor any units beyond Hydralisks and Mutalisks. -- 04:03, 12 March 2008 (CDT)

OKAY I ADMIT IT. I got it from Wikia. Wikia is the most up to date website with Starcraft Wiki, Command and Conquer Wiki and almost everything. Its like Sixflags amusement park only its on a website where you can treat it like a playground. TO know where these creatures come from Ask PsiSeveredHead the Admin of the Starcraft Wiki and I am the only one editing the Starcraft and Command and Conquer pages.(MrSue 04:07, 12 March 2008 (CDT))

Roach Image
A question about the image of the Roach... isn't that an Ultralisk? Baejung92

No. It was a Roach image and ask PsiSeveredHead or Meco at the Starcraft Wiki. Most people edited Wikia rather than this place.(MrSue 01:19, 13 March 2008 (CDT))

Copying Data Without Referencing A Source - Ban
I've banned you for one week this time. Do not add information that you've copied from another wiki without saying in the edit summary where you got it from. Additionally, if the wiki is not GFDL, then the text you have copied is most likely a copyright violation. One last try. -- 01:59, 1 April 2008 (CDT)

This is bad. First Wikia, then Wikipedia and now here.(MrSue 02:14, 18 April 2008 (CDT))
 * Perhaps you should act on the instructions people are giving you then? --DrBob (talk) 11:05, 18 April 2008 (CDT)
