~~'''Guidelines:'''~~

* If you leave a message on my talk page, do it at the very bottom~. I will respond to both it and to it on your own page, should you have one. =)

* If something I do bothers you, try your best not to pay it any mind~. If you have some serious personal beef with me, go ahead and let it out.

* For that matter, please ''do not'' bother me on the way I do things. I'm at least not violating Wikipedia, right? Right! And if I am, and I'm not aware of it, don't be an asshole about it.

* If you make yourself look like a total dumbass in manners in front of me, after a while I will remove your entry on my page. I will respond back to you with cynicism and sarcasm, because you deserve it whither you were being right or not.

* Don't accuse me of wrongdoing or as if I've done something bad on purpose. That will piss me off, and make you look like an idiot regardless of your civility. Control your anger. Don't jump to conclusions. [[Wikipedia:Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers|Be welcoming.]] Most importantly, ''calm down first!''

* Remember that '''I am trying to do the right thing'''. We all make mistakes even if it takes days to realize them. With that in mind, treat me with some respect over it.

* Hm, there was something else I was going to mention, but I forgot... what was it...

* ...Oh yeah, I remember now! Please sign your message with four tildes: <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>.

* I like ham.

~~== Q & 12 ==~~

*I suggest talking to [[User:A Man In Black|this guy]] as the merge was his idea. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:39, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

~~:Oh. I see...~~

~~:Very well then. Thanks for telling me. [[User:Ralf Loire|Ralf Loire]] 18:21, 13 November 2006 (UTC)~~

~~==No Idea What You're Talking About==~~

You sent me a message about something you left on the Brain article and about how you were stupid or something like that. I have no idea what you are talking about. Apparently, to answer your question, you didn't do something right because I haven't ever even been to the brain article. [[User:Sogospelman|Sogospelman]] 06:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

::Ok, I know what you're talking about now. Yes, I did remove the information because it didn't provide any valid information to the topic. [[User:Sogospelman|Sogospelman]] 09:00, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

~~:::Alright. By the way, don't threaten me again. Tata~ :3 [[User:Ralf Loire|Ralf Loire]] 06:18, 23 January 2007 (UTC)~~

~~== Edit Summaries ==~~

~~Um, can you please use edit summaries that actually summarize what you edit? Your last edit summary was incoherent. [[User:Diez2|Diez2]] 16:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)~~

~~:Mmmmmmmm... I thought it over, and my answer is... well, how can I put it... "no."~~

~~:What may be incoherent to you makes absolute perfect sense to me. You just have to be well versed enough in the particular subject to know what I'm talking about. =)~~

:If what I put in there at times bothers you, pay it no mind. I do summarize my changes frequently enough, but once in a while I will be goofy! So don't mind it is all I ask~ :3 [[User:Ralf Loire|Ralf Loire]] 17:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

~~== Your Most Recent Contributions ==~~

Hi, you undid my changes to the article, that was A LOT of work for both of us, for me the most I've done on one article. I actually made the article less complicated. & MOS requires headings headlined. Now we have to find a way to revet your changes. Please discuss next time. Oh, & if your wondering why I was editing anon, I sometimes don't bother logging in.[[User:100110100|100110100]] 23:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, I ''did'' undo your changes to the ''Power Instinct'' article because they were simply not necessary. You were only cluttering it up as such and therefor I assaulted your "improvements" with no remorse, like when Rambo takes a machine gun and blows all the enemies away while screaming like there's no tomorrow. However, next time, I will indeed look into that discussing bit, thank you very much. :3 --[[User:Ralf Loire|'''''R'''alf '''L'''oire'']] ([[User talk:Ralf Loire|Annoy]]) 23:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks for replying on my talk page, & your talk page. I used to do that, but it became a lot of work. Sorry, as I said, MOS dicates headings to be headlined. If you don't know what MOS stands for it means manual of style, & I'll point to [[WP:MOS]].[[User:100110100|100110100]] 23:50, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

:::Mmm, sorry, but I disagree somewhat. It makes the article look very sloppy, so I cannot comply. Don't get the wrong idea, I am not rebelling, nor am I being an asshole or saying my word is law like one guy here was doing. It just ''does not'' look good on the article. At all. It just makes it very ugly, and we can't have ugly articles laying about like carnies in a freakshow, now can we? Of course not!

:::I will take care of it myself, but don't you force ugliness on the PI article, plzkthx? :3 --[[User:Ralf Loire|'''''R'''alf '''L'''oire'']] ([[User talk:Ralf Loire|Annoy]]) 23:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

::::Well, I respect your views, but I actually disagree on how it looks sloppy. It looks more organized because of the headlines. You also said<blockquote>It just does not look good on the article. At all. It just makes it very ugly...</blockquote>. Asethetics is culturally bound, trust me, I've taken Anthropology and Art History, & another one I'm taking right now, & each individual has their own culture, which defines asethetics, but for now, I'll see what you will do with the article.[[User:100110100|100110100]] 00:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

~~:::::What are you planning?[[User:100110100|100110100]] 01:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)~~

::::::Hm, I'm thinking on it still, but so far my plans are that I may clean it up some and do away with a few things on the article to make it a little simpler and cleaner. Most likely the info on the staff, since it may not be too important, but we'll see. Sorry for any trouble, BTW. :3 --[[User:Ralf Loire|'''''R'''alf '''L'''oire'']] ([[User talk:Ralf Loire|Annoy]]) 01:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::::Usually, we include as much information as possible. Have you thought of spliting the article? It works well if it makes sense, like a lot of games in a series are split into there separate articles, but have a (series) article to tie them together (cf. [[Marvel vs. Capcom]]). I find it works well if information in sections diverge enough for their own articles. A criterion to look for is if the section seems to be inworld, as in that the section seems to talk about itself (meaning it refers to the content generally present only in the section). But I digress: back to taking out the staff info, I believe you shouldn't do that, IMO don't do it. And you didn't cause any trouble, but I do appreciate your thought.:D In all honesty, when I read bits and pieces of your talk page, you seem like you have a lot of angst, & in all honesty, I'm glad you didn't blow up in my face:D.[[User:100110100|100110100]] 01:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

::::::::A possibility, but I feel there's really not a need to go into a huge amount of detail on the games separately to warrant each one's own article. And even so, it would probably be better to put Main Article links on each one as such. I would do this myself, but alas, I'm not an observant enough player to dwelve too deeply into a game's engine in full. :)

::::::::As for the angst thing... not a whole lot, I'm actually a pretty nice and friendly guy if you look past it all. I just don't like that one particular fellow because he's such a contradictive, self-righteous ass.

::::::::Oh, and, um, please do not revert the edits of the article anymore until I have finished what to do, and I may still very well do away with that staff info. I pray you respect this in the end if I decide to do so, and as a fair warning, if you do it again, I will not be as forgiving toward you as a person. Thank you. :3--[[User:Ralf Loire|'''''R'''alf '''L'''oire'']] ([[User talk:Ralf Loire|Annoy]]) 03:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::Sorry bout the huge mess. I requested a rv at Help Desk ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Help_desk&diff=prev&oldid=120100752]), but as I just checked the article history, it seems that he didn't rv. I made the request before I started discussing the issue with you, my sincere apologies. I didn't bother to retract my request, again my apologies. But he made very little changes, as he didn't rv. You are very smart and right, & (of course) I will respect your requests. By the way, I'm not an admin (and the admin didn't rv).[[User:100110100|100110100]] 04:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

~~::::::::::Oh. Very well then. I apologize for misunderstanding. :3 --[[User:Ralf Loire|'''''R'''alf '''L'''oire'']] ([[User talk:Ralf Loire|Annoy]]) 05:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)~~

~~==Orphaned non-free image (Image:AngelaSpritePI.JPG)==~~

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:AngelaSpritePI.JPG]]'''. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|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. [[WP:BOLD|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 [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any '''articles''' will be deleted after seven days, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thank you. I noticed you reverted OrphanBot's edit and called it "nonsense", and I don't really understand why you did that. It appears to be orphaned and allowed only under a claim of fair use, but is not used in any articles. [[User:Strangerer|Strangerer]] ([[User_talk:Strangerer|Talk]]) 11:32, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

*The same is true for [[:Image:AngelaSpritePI2.JPG]]. --[[User:Strangerer|Strangerer]] ([[User_talk:Strangerer|Talk]]) 11:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

::Why does no one check the articles and look very closely for how they are used? This is ridiculous. It's useful for the article, and I want it to stay. I don't have any other place for them at current, just leave them alone until then. If you need more proof, just ask. --[[User:Ralf Loire|'''''R'''alf '''L'''oire'']] ([[User talk:Ralf Loire|Annoy]]) 14:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

~~==Power Instinct characters==~~

As you seem to be the only active editor, I guess I'll bring this up with you. I will be merging the characters into a general list soon. [[WP:FICT]] and [[WP:WAF]] require out of universe information for character articles. Stuff like development and reception is not available for these. The only information these contain are plot summaries (single plot summaries cannot be used as the base for an article per [[WP:NOT]]), quotes (they belong on Wikiquote), trivia (no trivia per [[WP:TRIV]]), and special moves ([[WP:NOT#IINFO|Wikipedia is not a game guide]]). This is pretty much nonnegotiable, but I figured I would tell you anyways. [[User:TTN|TTN]] 23:53, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

:Extensive information on a unencyclopedic topics belongs on [http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia Wikia]. I do suggest you go there and make a wiki as you are planning. Seeing as you reverting it will get me nowhere, can you please just do that? If need be, I'll copy articles over there myself. [[User:TTN|TTN]] 03:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

::I'm not backing down; I'm just going to wait until you're content because nothing will happen if you just keep reverting. [http://www.shoryuken.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Shoryuken Wiki] is a good place for this information. You can also expand to move lists and stuff there. I'm saying if that is what it'll take, I'll move the articles myself. [[User:TTN|TTN]] 03:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

:::I'll move them to any wiki that you would like as long as I can kill them off here after without you reverting. You can easily get a wiki by just proposing one at Wikia by the way. [[User:TTN|TTN]] 03:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

:Regarding this same game, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Power_Instinct&diff=135971505&oldid=135966611 this edit] is not really appropriate. Requests for citation are, in the first place, not "crap." Second, it's not really clear that "I have people who can prove it" is a reliable source. It's obvious that Nightmare is requesting citations to reliable published sources in support of these facts; please just provide them.
