[edit] New job class articles
Welcome to the project! I notice that you've created a new article for the Gambler job class. You may find Final Fantasy character classes interesting. It's a list of the job classes found in FF games that was created as a catch-all for all of the job classes. Gunner and Gambler should be added there. Several months ago, at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Sub-projects/Jobs, it was decided by consensus that most job classes are not notable enough to merit their own articles and should only be placed in that list. Several of the members of that sub-project dropped out of it, saving only myself, and all I've been able to do was add the merge template to most of the job classes (see, for example, Bard (Final Fantasy). I am currently on a self-imposed Wikibreak but I do plan to complete the work of merging all the information back into the main article, including your two new articles. I'm very sorry, because I understand that you've done a lot of work on this new article, but Wikipedia is starting to crack down hard on a lot of excess information about video games (see Wikipedia is not a game guide) and we're trying to reel in the amount of cruft we have in the project as a result. :( However, I would really welcome your help on the sub-project I linked above, as I've been the only person working there for some time and an extra set of hands to perform some of the discussed tasks would be really helpful.
Please don't take the merge tags personally. I do know you've done a lot of work, and it won't be ignored. We'll move most of the information to the character class list. If you'd like to do it yourself that would be really great, but otherwise I can take care of it when I'm back from my Wikibreak.
If you need any help with anything around Wikipedia, please feel free to leave a note with me at my talk page. Again, I really do apologize for this. -RaCha'ar 19:08, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Hi again. Do you think you could please read my message and the links I gave you before you continue to add new job class articles? I'd really appreciate a discussion with you and some feedback before I start adding the merge template willy-nilly to your new articles. Thanks. -RaCha'ar 04:10, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. Let me explain about the character classes. We are adding classes to the Final Fantasy character classes list article instead of adding new, separate character class articles. Please read Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Final Fantasy/Sub-projects/Jobs to see the discussion we had before about this. While I agree that certain job classes have been left out, if you also read the talk page for the character class list article, you'll see that the general consensus was that classes like Morpher, Engineer, Gunner, and Gambler were decided to not have appeared frequently enough to merit mention in the article. Wikipedia has recently taken a turn towards getting rid of information that would be better suited to places like the Final Fantasy Wiki, which is a sentiment I can't really argue with. We at the WPFF have been trying to merge and delete content where appropriate so that someone else doesn't come in and do it for us when they decide we have too much extraneous information. With your help, I'd like to move the content of the Gambler article you have written to the main character class article. We can start discussion there again about some of the other job classes that don't have a mention yet; however, I believe the general consensus is that if a job class doesn't appear in more than a couple of games, it's not notable enough to merit a mention. Perhaps we could throw in a bit at the end of the main character class list about the other jobs, such as Morpher and Engineer, that appear very rarely. Thanks very much for working with me on this! :D -RaCha'ar 18:18, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent additions
Hi, we try to keep information very concise and succinct on Wikipedia. Lists of magic spells and so on, such as Black Magic (Final Fantasy), is considered unencyclopedic. Also, some of the minor character class/creature articles you have made should be merged into their respective lists. I'll take care of this, but this is just a heads up about how we handle things here. You might be interested in The Final Fantasy Wikia. Thanks! — Deckiller 20:50, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
- As per Deckiller's comments above, I've redirected White Magic (Final Fantasy) to Final Fantasy magic as well. As I suggested a little while ago, you might also like to take a look at WikiProject Final Fantasy and work with all of us on improving Wikipedia's FF articles. Thanks! -RaCha'ar 21:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Warcraft AfDs
I would like to redirect you to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles. Could you please voice your opinion on this, as it will sett precedence for what to do with articles like this. Havok (T/C/c) 06:57, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Neith
It seemed to me that this article could be considered fancruft. That is why I wanted to community to evaluate its notability. Sparsefarce 17:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding edits made during September 30, 2006 to Final Fantasy Summons

[edit] Zone of the Enders
I think your list got deleted. I only check up on ZOE from time to time. It really needs more attention though.--D-Boy 07:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
