Hey there

[edit]

Hi!

Thanks for the quick response on Talk:Angelina Jolie. I asked about cumulative gross and criteria for including films because I found that, even when comparing FAs, there is a lack of uniformity among cinema bios. No doubt, the individual's career determines what sort of details the article will have, but issues regarding the lead, notability of movies/roles,etc come up often when discussing Hollywood and Bollywood filmbios. I've compiled a few problems that come up often on this page, I'd appreciate your comments on it.

Apologies if this note seems a little random. I've seen your contributions on several Hollywood pages and you are a far more experienced editor than I am, so I thought I'd pester you for a bit :)

Diamond Smugglers

[edit]

By your logic, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang should be in the category. It's not, and it shouldn't be, because it is not about James Bond. Nor is Diamond Smuggler. It is linked to Ian Fleming through a navtemplate of all of his books. Otto4711 19:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang could be said to have connections to James Bond because they both have souped up cars in them. "He wrote about diamond smuggling in a Bond book" and "he allegedly co-wrote another story that may have been based on this" doesn't establish a connection to Bond. Otto4711 19:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Shakespeare Code

[edit]

Thanks for alerting me of your rationale for reverting my edit. One of the inclusions the IP made was a speculative (and to date, unverifiable) assertion about Tennant's performance as the Doctor, essentially forcing a point of view on the article; it was this I classed as OR. Of the two items of trivia, one (the note of Tennant's involvement with a Harry Potter film) was outside the scope of the article, and redundant in light of the ease with which one can find this info via the link to the article on Tennant; the other was merely (in my view) not noteworthy. Hence, the edits seemed not worth keeping, though I will grant you it was remiss of me not to spot the grammatical correction.

As for your contention that the high presence of "trivia" in the article means one should remove all or none, I'm afraid I'm unsympathetic to this kind of blanket reasoning. Sure, lengthy lists of notes on continuity and cultural references aren't highly desirable in an encyclopedic article, but I'm afraid consensus presently appears against their blanket removal; the best one can do is to take such notes on a case by case basis and judge them in terms of notability and verifiability etc. In other words, I, and many others, try to sort the "good" from the "bad".

It's a dirty job but someone has to do it. Mark H Wilkinson 16:53, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

RE: ILLUMINATUS!]

[edit]

Hi. You were the first one to mention the ILLUMINATUS! comic, so I'm dropping you a note here. My brief foray with Wiki lat year was very educational, and I found you to be one of the most reasonable of the editors. The place seemed to be full of amateurs attempting to prove their pro status by being hard nosed, without investigating the facts first. I have a few things I will return here to finish at some point, but I got depressed about the news of Wilson's impending death, and holed up for a year. My BS tolerance is much less after this. I have erased my name from the ILLUMINATUS! article (let THEM hunt down the comic if they want to know it...), and have posted images used in Bob's Meme-Orial on my myspace account: myspace.com/icarus_23 I'd mentioned this on the Talk Pages of both ILLUMINATUS! and Wilson, but the ILL! one disappeared, DESPITE the avowed policy of Wikipedia NOT to tinker with people's Talk comments. The Wilson one is virtually identical. I'll be dropping this in to the person that added my name, too -- I don't mind it being there, as it was in the 3rd issue, but for some reason I feel it should be more of a mystery....

RfD

[edit]

I noticed that you voted to keep the Wp:an/i and Wp:afd redirects at the Redirects for deletion page. I also voted to keep these redirect pages. I thought that if they were removed, then I would not automatically get to the pages I was looking for if I happened to type all lowercase letters, which would be pretty inconvenient. However, it turns out I was wrong. The software will automatically send someone to the appropriate page, even if they type all lowercase, and even if the redirect pages are deleted. It's just like a redirect, but without the redirect page. Deleting them will remove needless clutter in mainspace searches. With this knowledge, I wonder if you might consider changing your vote to delete. Thanks, and have a good day. Nick Graves 18:24, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


Bot messages

[edit]

I've noted your dislike of image messages, and I think there's a way to deal with the ones that come from bots: Template:Bots (or {{Bots}} if you prefer that form). It gives the user various options for allowing/disallowing visits from bots. Hope it's of use. Cheers. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 07:21, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

re:Short stories tags

[edit]

Replying to your message on my talk page: I did add a short-story-collection category, Category:Mystery short story collections, to replace the "Detective short stories" category tag I removed. The reason this is not obvious is that I added it higher up the food chain, at Category:Short story collections by Leslie Charteris; it seemed unnecessarily duplicative to add it to each individual article. I am sorry I didn't make this clearer in the edit history. --Paul A 02:19, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

But are all Charteris's novels in the genre? :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 08:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Fine, thanks for the response - just checking. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 14:32, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Article redirected

[edit]

Hi. I've changed your article on Frankie and Johnny (Elvis Presley album) to a redirect to Frankie and Johnny (1966 film)#Soundtrack because it wasn't a new release, but simply a reissue of an album from a decade earlier which is already discussed in the larger article. 23skidoo 13:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the notice. Salavat 14:15, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
No worries. When I have time I'm going to do some sorting out of things like the album template and the categories because there are albums that aren't listed that should be, etc. and I can see how a duplicated article can be created (I spotted something similar with the Burning Love album article, which was also doubled up.) I've got a few releases I'd like to add, but I'm waiting till I sort the rest out (unless someone beats me to it). BTW I kept your infobox for Frankie and Johnny and just moved it over, with the image you uploaded. 23skidoo 14:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeh i noticed you moved the infobox. Good luck in sorting, the whole article is pretty messed up. Salavat 14:26, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Resolved tag

[edit]

Anyone can add it and the instruction are above on the page - they might not be the most clear in which case do please improve content and layout as you see fit. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 14:24, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am hoping you can answer a question for me. I would like to create an article on the political philosophy of Decentralism (as advocated by men like E. F. Schumacher, Leopold Kohr, and Ivan Illich). However, currently, Decentralism redirects to Decentralization. Now, while these concepts are certainly related, the latter articles defines and describes a process, with a concentration on decentralization in business and economics. The article I intend to create is of rather a different sort, more philosophical, though with examples of projects started or inspired by the men I named, as well as others. What I am asking is, what is the policy as to changing decentralism from a redirect to an article of its own? Should I just be bold and start the article, with a disambiguation link at the top: For the process in business and economics, see Decentralization. Would that be enough? Thank you, in advance, for any assistance you can give. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 18:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hectomillionaires List/Category

[edit]

Hi, I saw your AFD for List of hectomillionaires and had a few comments - If you do choose to propose Category:Hectomillionaires for deletion, please consider proposing Category:Billionaires for deletion at the same time. To be included in the latter category the current criteria posted is that "Persons who have a net worth or wealth equal or greater than one billion United States dollars, euros, British pounds or units of a comparably valued currency. Such persons are billionaires." The criteria for Category:Hectomillionaires is exactly the same, but with a lower figure of wealth.

Also, I wanted to seek clarification on your nomination. If List of hectomillionaires was instead broken down by nationality and titled for example List of American people with net worths greater than $100,000,000 million US dollars, would you have concerns about its suitability for inclusion on Wikipedia? The new title would address the arguable neologism aspect of the title, and also deal with the issue of multiple currencies at play. There are comparable articles that use US Dollars as a bench mark, like List of US-dollar billionaires in Germany. Thanks, Kurieeto 22:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Book article deletion warnings

[edit]

the version of my talk page I am responding to

Thank you for the information about the preferred method of notifying the WikiProject about articles in one of the various deletion workstreams. I have updated User:Ceyockey/Notifying_WikiProjects_of_Deletion_Proposals#Culture to reflect this information. Note that I have two 'unknown' items in that table for 'Books' - it would be useful if I could fill those 'unknowns' with information based on the WikiProject preference. The origin of the page I refer to is my personal interest in providing notifications about PROD activities to WikiProjects and gathering information aimed at expanding and clarifying the scope of DelSort (AFD) and that activity's relationship to other WikiProject activities. Regards --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Fixed

[edit]

I fixed it for you, check the image description out now. That is all it needed. — jacĸrм (talk) 22:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree, it's rather confusing, like when I got my first notice from it. As long as you read WP:NFCC#10 carefully, you will see what is missing, as a fair-use rationale was missing from the image in question. The bot is not in error, just being a bit of a perfectionist! — jacĸrм (talk) 22:38, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I do think it's fair, and you can surely see that? If Wikipedia does not own the image, we must make sure we are saying why we are using it fairly. You are an admin, you should be able to keep up with a simple rule like this! I agree it's confusing and annoying, but once you've just typed a few words on the rationale, it's fine, and you won't be bothered again. — jacĸrм (talk) 22:44, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

re:Image discussion, continued

[edit]

I really do agree with you, skidoo. I find it unfair that they change the image rules themselves and then dump the work on the users. Your images even stated which article they are being used fairly in, and just because they do not use the one exact rationale template, they are being deleted without any further consideration. It's a real shame, as anyone who uploads that many images deserves to be thanked and helped for their Wikipedia contribution, and someone should have done something about that. I really do agree with you in a call for a policy change, or more Wikipedia users are going to disappear elsewhere, and tonnes of the images are going to disappear. — jacĸrм (talk) 17:39, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

It's because I archived them but moved them back as this was started. And yes, I think that's what people are considering changing, as some people are not aware the policy changed, then they are bombarded with tens of possible image deletion notices. — jacĸrм (talk) 23:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Glad to see you're still around

[edit]

Thanks for the messages you've left on my user page recently. Glad to see you're still around - I can still remember the help you gave me when I was getting started here at Wikipedia. As for the 'bots, I know that I could avoid their idiocy by adding the silly "rational" template to all of my images, but I prefer to wait for the stupid message and then do what's needed - gives me something to get insensed about. :-) --RenniePet 23:28, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I received the photo license along with a batch of others from the same photographer on Flickr...I agree that it's not the most flattering picture, but I haven't come across any better ones with a free license. I guess the decision on whether the photo is used is up to the primary editors on that article. I have to disagree that it's a violation of WP:BLP, unless you can point to some provision in that policy of which I'm not aware - and I do a lot of work with BLP issues in the course of working with article subjects. The photo does not seem to have been altered or manipulated in any way. At least a reader can see what she looks like, so I'd lean toward keeping the photo until we can get a better one. If you'd like to try to track one down, I wrote a sort of tutorial at User:Videmus Omnia/Requesting free content. Regards - Videmus Omnia Talk 22:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Erika Hernandez

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Erika Hernandez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Erika Hernandez.

Captain John

[edit]

Just to let you know I went ahead and did the merge. No need for discussion on this one since all other guest-star characters on Torchwood are covered in the list article and all the stub had was some unsourced speculation. It was an AFD magnet. 23skidoo (talk) 15:33, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Evil River

D'oh! And there I was hoping that you had edited the article because the book had finally, from out of nowhere, suddenly been published and was in bookstores! Imagine how my Christmas hopes were dashed when I read your message on the Burroughs talk page. Alas... Well, let's see, I'll turn 50 in 2019, so perhaps that will be a good fiftieth birthday present. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 21:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Image rationales

[edit]

Please don't be too disheartened about this situation. I have your talk page on my watchlist and will catch any bot messages. (If you like I can archive the template messages after I have fixed the images.) I will fix the "Saint" book covers, and if you give me the name of the other editor who uploaded a lot of book covers, I will watchlist his talk page also. You have uploaded a lot of hard-to-find scans, and it would be a real pity to lose out on your contributions. If you decide to start uploading again, there is a useful template for book cover rationales:

{{ subst:Book rationale | Article name goes here | website goes here | person or company owning the intellectual property goes here }}

All you need to do is fill in the template parameters, and the images won't be tagged. All the best, Bláthnaid 11:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I understand your frustration. I don't think that the rules will be unilaterally changed in the future -- but give me a few months and I might change my mind :p Bláthnaid 15:40, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Geraldine Chaplin in Casino Royale

Recent Burroughs edits

[edit]

First, I want to say that you were right to revert my edit of the other day, regarding U2's "Last Night On Earth" video, and Burroughs' appearance in same. I got carried away, deleting the whole paragraph along with the dubious reference. But, would it not make more sense for that paragraph to be moved to the "appearances in film..." section?

Second, as far as bands named after Burroughs' works, this Canadian band does not even seem notable enough to merit being mentioned, even if a reference can be found that indicates the source of their name. Dead Fingers Talk is a Burroughs piece, but their name is kind of a stretch from that, anyway... Just a thought. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 00:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


Re: One for you

[edit]

I've fixed the image. It just needed the article name and a note about replaceability. The templates are not mandatory, but are useful so that any important information is not left out. You got a few more bot messages about missing rationales, so I've fixed those also. Regards, Bláthnaid 10:03, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

BetacommandBot tags the images that lack any type of rationale or that have a rationale but don't include the article name. He doesn't tag because of lack of templates. From what I've seen, a lot of the hand-written rationales get tagged because they don't have the name of the article in the rationale (eg this almost perfect rationale). A lot of editors hand-write great rationales but leave out the article name, which takes only a moment to fix. The template is useful because it has a warning notice if you miss any important information. A problem with some old rationale templates from last year is that they did not have an "article name" parameter, and images with the old templates have also gotten tagged for deletion! It's all a bit of a mess really :P Bláthnaid 19:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Centralized TV Episode Discussion

[edit]

Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [3]. Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia. --Maniwar (talk) 02:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

When, or if, you have a moment, can you take a look at this article, and make some suggestions for its improvement? I cannot claim responsibility for the article, but its creator asked for my advice, and I made some edits, but it could certainly use another pair of eyes. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 03:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

New biography on Michael Dunn

[edit]

Hello, 23skidoo. I have just spent days writing, entering, and perfecting my first Wiki article, a comprehensive biography on the late dwarf actor Michael Dunn. I noticed you had left a message on the discussion page of the previously posted biography (which had become very corrupted with myths and inaccuracies, even to the point of someone denying that Dunn was a dwarf) regarding a filmography. I assembled and formatted into a table a list of Dunn's TV appearances, with source reference, but don't know if it's necessary to post an exhaustive list of his movies. Some notable ones are mentioned in the text, and there is a link to his filmography at IMDB. Unfortunately IMDB tends to be inaccurate (as shown by the bio posted there), and I don't know a primary direct source for a list of Dunn's movies. Can you please advise how to handle this?Meticuliz (talk) 20:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Film stuff

[edit]

Just wanted to let you know, I replied to your comment on my talk page. By the way, in the future, if you could use {{Film}} instead of {{FilmsWikiProject}}, I'd be very grateful. Although the latter one automatically redirects to the former, it has been deprecated, and we're trying to phase out its usage as task force tagging slowly occurs over the next year or so. Knowing that it's not being added to new articles would put me greatly at ease. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:01, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Michael Dunn bio and image

[edit]

23skiddo, thanks for your comments on my talk page. I don't see a second bot tag on the photo. I took care of the first one the other day, and the image is now tagged "This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was first published in the United States without copyright notice prior to 1978, which causes the work to be irrevocably in the Public Domain. See Copyright." I don't think that can be in dispute, since the photo was obviously taken while Dunn was alive, was made available on the occasion of his death, and he died in 1973.

I am relieved not to have to make a table of his entire filmography! Is there a proper term to designate "TV-ography"?Meticuliz (talk) 05:11, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks for your reply at my page. So, what about the fact that the point of a press kit photo is to allow wide distribution and reproduction of the person's face, for publicity?Meticuliz (talk) 16:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Thanks for your reply about press photos. How frustrating! Can you recommend whom I should contact to try to get permission? Columbia Studios is now owned by Sony, and I've been searching the Sony website without success to try to find where to write for permission to post an old Columbia press photo. On a second topic, do you have the expertise and willingness to be able to edit the template for the infobox, category "actor," in order to include the parameter "cause of death"? I have used a general "person" infobox but would like to make use of the "awards" parameters in the "actor" subcategory. (If I'm not using correct vocabulary to describe this, please advise.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meticuliz (talkcontribs) 17:43, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Book image

[edit]

Hi. I looked at that image while I was working through a list of disputed book cover images. I didn't add a rationale because there is another book cover in the article. I've fixed all the fixable book covers from the last bout of mass-tagging, and the rest were deleted today. All the Saint book covers that were tagged have been fixed. Regards, Bláthnaid 19:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

No problem. If you come across more tagged images, you can let me know about them. Bláthnaid 19:45, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I have failed to find any unambiguious statement that books cats are for non-fiction only, though it does seem to be the case. But novels and story collections are better categorized under subcategories (such as Category:British novels and Category:British short stories) rather then in the parent one - this is very much in line with general approach to categorization. Please note that Category:Short story collections by Leslie Charteris and Category:Novels by Leslie Charteris are already subcats. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Henry Merrivale (talkcontribs) 00:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Comics Guaranty LLC

[edit]

Hello 23skidoo. I've finally whittled down the criticism section of the Comics Guaranty LLC article to what I think is reasonably fair and, importantly, supported by verifiable sources. However, given that it's been a source of controversy, I want to make sure that other people take a look at it. My opinion should not be the determining factor in the article's composition. To that end, I've sought peer review from the Comics Wikiproject and posted an RfC in the arts category, but as near as I can tell, no one's looked at it. You've taken an interest in this article before, so would you mind taking a look at the current version? Thanks, GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:50, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look! As far as the message boards go, I think in this case since the boards are owned by the company, posts made by its employees can be reasonably assumed to be "official", if not unbiased. However, I don't think it's appropriate to repeat complaints made by the other posters as many of these people are anonymous and their claims unverifiable. Regarding the RfC, I added it to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Art, architecture, literature and media. However, I didn't make a separate talk page for this; I merely added an RfC section to the article's talk page. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 20:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
It's probably not controversial to say that there is controversy regarding CGC's role in the market. IIRC, the Wall Street Journal article says as much. But, if necessary, I don't think anyone would object to using the message boards as a source to back this up. However, several threads were being used as sources for more specific (but unverifiable) accusations. I think that the lack of peer review is probably the biggest stumbling block to Wikipedia lending more credence to message boards/forums. Your point is well-taken, however. Hopefully, wiser editors than I are already discussing what to do in situations where important information on a subject is only available from a non-traditional source such as a message board. Thanks again, GentlemanGhost (talk) 22:24, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Burroughs

[edit]

Do you really think we need all those variations of Burroughs' name in the lede? And in bold, to boot? I think it should say, simply, generally known as William S. Burroughs and be done. Thoughts? ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 01:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I spotted the "late '80s" bit too, and wondered where that came from... I do not know when that showed up, but I only just noticed it today. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 04:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

help/arbitration/information

[edit]

Hey 23skidoo, it's Seven of eleven from the BBS. I'm a little lost here and I wrote down 'list of administrators' in the search bar and yours was at the top of the list so I'll take that as a sign. I know the vague generalities of the wiki but don't know the nitty gritty and I just post usually to add basic info or correct something. But I digress.

The problem is found here: [[4]]

There was a Simpsons episode tonight that was a homage to the excellent movie The Departed. The long and short of is that I wanted to put in an explanation for the final line of the episode which is confusing to someone who hasn't seen the movie but others do not. I was accused of trying to vandalize and insert lies in the article, I erroneously accused a guy of being a dual, they deleted my sourced statement while keeping similiar unsourced statements, claimed that I was getting banned on my talk page, there were tons of reverts on both sides, the article has been locked so I can't edit, lot's of arguing and going around in circles.

The point is, I'm guessing you have a way, way, way better understanding of the Wiki and wiki-fu than I or even the people with whom I'm arguing have so could you tell me (and them) if I stepped over the bounds, if they did and what we can do to rectify this problem?

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.222.140 (talk) 08:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Junkieace.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:Junkieace.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 17:38, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed the issue by taking this book cover out of William S. Burroughs. By the way 23skidoo, did you scan this book cover? You usually say so on the image description page, but didn't here. Bláthnaid 19:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
How cool -- a book that cost 35c is now worth $500. I thought I'd ask, since it didn't look like a scan. Regards, Bláthnaid 20:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
It's a good example of a valuable non-free image. :-) Bláthnaid 20:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: The Castle

[edit]

There is an image of a German translation of the book in the middle of the article. I don't think that the article can support more than one non-free image. If you prefer the deleted cover, I could ask the deleting admin to undelete the English-language cover, and the German one could be deleted instead? Bláthnaid 19:12, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

re william burroughs etc

[edit]

there is an issue re the changing names from William Burroughs to William S.

I read your opening statement about your level of activity, but that was a year ago and this was just yesterday, so here goes. I just found your edit to the intro of the article List of incomplete Doctor Who serials, and noticed one inconsistency, in the statement "...in the case of episodes produced between 1970-73 - are complete but currenly [sic] in a format different from the original broadcast." No, this is not about the spelling typo; I wouldn't need to check with you before fixing that, of course. Since you end the range in 1973 but Invasion of the Dinosaurs aired in 1974, you seem to mean "produced" literally, but you begin it in 1970, while much of the production of most affected episodes aired that year was in 1969. Should we change "produced" to "aired" and "73" to "74", or what? It is your edit, and I am an American while this is a British programme, so I ask instead of making changes to my own way of thinking. Ted Watson (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem, and I understood exactly what your point was there; didn't mean to suggest at all that it wasn't clear. Ted Watson (talk) 19:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

It was no problem. I'm just trying to do my part to suppress vandalism on Wikipedia. Illinois2011 | Talk 01:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Err, there wasn't enough vandalism to merit semi-protection. Only two IP addresses vandalized today, and before that there was minimal editing. I suggest you remove the protection, block this fellow, and give the other IP a {{uw-vandalism2}}. Cheers, · AndonicO Hail! 01:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Ah, sorry, I was wrong to suggest a block: the IP heeded the warning and stopped vandalizing. ;) IMO, there was minimal vandalism, and certainly not enough to warrant semi-protection (I would have declined, were this on RFPP, as ":{{RFPP|nact}} ~~~~", in fact), but it's your protection button, and it's only for a couple of days, so I'll drop the issue. · AndonicO Hail! 02:11, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Could you please check this image page?

[edit]

I think that the image is fine as it is, since you have the number of the OTRS ticket on the image description page. There are images with the same attribution license on Commons. You lucky admins have access to single-user login now, so you could actually move the image over to Commons if you so wish. It is best not to use any non-free license when the image is free. I've come across some very old books whose covers are in the public domain mistakenly tagged with {{Non-free book cover}}, which were then tagged for deletion for lacking rationales. That was one of the reasons I was concerned about the images tagged for deletion. All the best, Bláthnaid 21:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Does "Escape" actually exist?

[edit]

I added the part about the "condensed version" called "Escape" a few years ago. My information was based upon an Amazon listing and a couple of other references. However, despite my best efforts, I have been unable to obtain or even physically see a copy of this alleged book. Can anyone confirm that it actually exists? The possibility exists that it might have been planned for release at some point but never actually got out (for a similar situtation, see William Burroughs' "Evil River"). 23skidoo (talk) 18:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Funny you should ask. I went a month ago to the library to see if I can Interlibrary Loan it.

Midtown Plaza Saskatoon - Royal Trust - concrete slab

Until just a few months ago, I was the Administrative assistant at Midtown Plaza for 15 years. I worked for Oxford as well as CF. Several of the staff have worked there for over 20 years. I can guarantee you that if you heard anything about someone dying at the Royal Trust from the concrete slab, it was erroneous information.

I note your various moves for the above article, including the suggested Justin Skinner (football player). On the talk page you say "I still believe there is a more correct way of handling this" and your reasons for the move stated "moved to properly formatted name under Wikipedia style". Can I refer you to the list of footballers at Category:English footballers. As you can see, the DaB "footballer born 19XX" is rather common. I can't see any where the phrase "football player" is used, although I haven't checked all 6000+. I hope this aids your research.. Best wishes. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 12:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Dear Administrator (and yes, I do know that you're one already, and I also know that it's no big deal):

My warning was from a series of warnings - {{uw-nor1}}, {{uw-nor2}}, {{uw-nor3}} - and I only chose to give you the third-level since the IP page was covered in previous warnings. Out of interest, why did you add your own personal analysis of Donna's character to the page? Yours, Humble Non-Administrator (yet) TreasuryTagtc 15:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

  • My question was about the content and I'd be interested to hear your views.
  • If you edit from an IP with numerous warnings, you risk being given a greater warning. That is why there is a series, going from uw-nor1 onwards. The IP was due a level-three warning and I gave him one. If you have further issues with this, please take it to WP:ANI, I can't be bothered to continue this conversation. Thanks.

I hope nobody is ever considering making him an administrator, it would be a disaster. --Dr who1975 (talk) 14:37, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I did not "jump to conclusions", I added an appropriate warning for breaking a Wiki policy (which I guessed an admin wouldn't have done!!), given the number of warnings existing on the admin's IP's talkpage.
