A couple of Runaways thoughts

Just looking over Runaways (comics) and a couple of things struck me:

• It needs a publication history section - quite a bit of it is tagged on the end of the lead which should be more a summary of the whole article.
• The Barnes and Noble link is used as a source four times in the page - links to B&N and Amazon (as well as other stores) are specifically ruled at under WP:ELNO, which rules them out as a source. As they usually just reproduce the publisher information the link is also redundant. It also doesn't seem to support the statements made and wonder if somehow the link got accidentally swap or something.

Just thought I'd flag it to you as you are the expert ;) (Emperor (talk) 02:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC))

Yep - anything a store has, will be at the publishers and I'd imagine we can find better sources than that and basic facts (like first publication, etc.) can be covered by an external link to something like the GCDB. (Emperor (talk) 03:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC))

Full list here. The ones I've done are The Authority and R.E.B.E.L.S. (the former seems your best model), if there are any problems let me know (and drop a note to User talk: J Greb (he has helped me troubleshoot problems with infoboxes). (Emperor (talk) 21:45, 2 April 2009 (UTC))

Re: Curiosity

Yep. That's me. I don't edit on ComicVine too often anymore for some reason. I really just edited the Stepford Cuckoos, Anole, Wiccan, Hulkling, and Northstar...and Sailor Chibimoon. I did a little editing on Runaways but I don't read it, so I can't contribute too much in terms of content.Luminum (talk) 00:02, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Question

No, I haven't seen it, but what would it be needed as a reference for? Fox has already confirmed a 21st and 22nd season (there just aren't pages for them yet because at this point it would be complete speculation). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 14:45, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:DustandGlass.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. 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 our policy for non-free media).

Copyedit

Hey A, my article Harvard Girl is at GAN and I was wondering if I could get a quick copyedit in the next couple days, if you're not too busy. I'm terrible at copyediting my own articles (I know what I'm trying to say, so I don't notice when things are worded awkwardly or anything) so I generally have to leave it to others. Do you think you'd be able to give it a look? (If you're too busy, or this is not something that interests you, then I totally understand.) Thanks, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:51, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:A/Projects

 Done. Cheers, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 20:58, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

No worries. There's actually a CSD criteria for deletion requests in userspace, so in the future, feel free to simply use {{db-u1}}. Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

End of Hannah Montana...

Hi A, just got your message (since you're the first, I don't check unless Wikipedia flashes a notice at me). I don't understand: Do you just want to know how the movie ends or the content I felt was questionable at the end? --Blondtraillite (talk) 22:31, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

I think you can guess the end since there is another season (I'm pretty sure): In the end she decides she can't be two people because she always seems to hurt the people she cares about (especially the hot guy, of course). She reveals who she is and sings the song she wrote herself, "The Climb." Everyone, including Dad, Lilly and the boy, is touched. Then the "entire" town begs her to keep Hannah Montana both for herself and the inspiration she is, vowing to keep it a secret, leading, of course, to another song. Then the evil reporter is about to give the story to his editor when his twin daughters arrive raving about Hannah Montana and how important she is to them. He changes his mind and calls his editor a succubus...

And I say louder than I meant to "Oh no, he did not just call his editor a succubus in a theatre with probably over 150 10-year-old girls, when I can think of half a dozen words that convey his intent without referring to rape or sexual contact..." to have my friend say "yeah, Miss Girl Scout Leader, he did" and the teenagers behind me throw popcorn for talking (despite that they talked through half the movie about how cute the guy was and who had dibs). Then, as we were leaving, a little girl asked her Mom "what is a succubus?" After the Mom said "I don't know. We'll look it up," I filled in "he was trying to say she comes off nice but she was a really mean person underneath her pretty appearance." I then whispered in the mother's ear "don't let her Google it without a filter and you there to explain." Oh, that didn't happen in your theatre? I wish it hadn't happened in mine.

I don't blame you for not going. I probably wouldn't have if my friend hadn't won tickets. All of the jokes were for the kids (I like when Disney and other companies put in something for the adults dragged there). It had some good themes such as appropriate behaviour, making priorities that include family and friends and accepting yourself for your strengths and weaknesses. Good movie (except for a few things) for the entire family, and great to start discussions, but you'll want something more adult afterwards if you are forced to watch later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blondtraillite (talk • contribs) 01:26, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

A bit of an assumption: why do you need to know the ending unless you think it will come up in conversation and you want to fake your way through it? Then, how do you make it seem like you know? Themes, Baby! That's the part you read in "Cliff Notes." If necessary to give more detail about the experience, you throw in a story about overhearing something in the audience. Sure, in lies you don't offer details, but never hurts to have some in case of questions ;-) Cheers! --Blondtraillite (talk) 15:27, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Simpsons House

Hey, thanks. I ended up adding that content to its own section at 742 Evergreen Terrace, so it was doubly beneficial because I cleaned up that article significantly. Thanks again for the compliments.--IvoShandor (talk) 15:37, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Comics infoboxes...

Please use the "imagesize" paramater for sizing. Adding " |200px " to "image" will not work.

Thanks,

- J Greb (talk) 19:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

And a couple of other things stemming from Marvel Divas...

• Try not to upload 1.5 megapixle image. The fair use guide lines are to try and keep image at about the size they show up in the articles. For the comics infoboxes, which are capped at 250px across, 300 is just about the max for a reasonable upload. 1017 is more than a little out.
• Try and make sure of the artist involved when crediting artwork. I didn't see any credits given to the "Vixens" file (the original filename) in the articles. And the signature on the work is "Campbell" and the art looks like it is Scott Campbell's.

Again, thanks,

- J Greb (talk) 19:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Pride & Joy (comics)

Congratulations! Cirt asked me for comments this morning and I remember opening up the article and thinking, before even reading it, "well, this looks like a GA now". Great job with this one, and I hope to see you churning out more good stuff soon, rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 16:59, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Anole (comics) peer review

Thanks, A! I really appreciate the support. Let me know if I can ever help you out! Congrats on your other GAs!Luminum (talk) 01:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi A! I hadn't really thought about the second image, mostly because I couldn't think of a second image that would meet notability criteria, but I think the image you uploaded is great. Maybe it should be cropped to include the top of first panel (left) all of second panel (right) and possibly even the dialogue pat of third panel (bottom right). Also, I think you're absolutely correct with the "Other versions" section, so I'll get on that and add it. Thanks!Luminum (talk) 00:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I think that should be fine. I can upload it if you like (and crop it). I don't mind doing either.Luminum (talk) 23:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Poker Face

I saw that you nominated Poker Face for peer review. This is just to let you know that it was I who had been working on this article for months. So please donot submit the GAN under your name. Cheers. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 10:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I am actually still waiting for a little more info regarding the background of the song and also waiting for the IP vandalisms to tone down. Are you an administrater? Because then can I ask you to please increase the protection time a little longer? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 03:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool. NP, I will see the state of the article and if any vandalism continues after the block expires. And thanks for the peer review. It really helped structure it more. If you find any background info for the song, you are free to add it. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:31, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi A. The peer review for "Poker Face" is completed. So since you requested for peer review can you close it so that I can nominate the article for GA? --Legolas ^(talk2me) 08:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm really happy for the article passing GA. Thanks for all your help. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Well I have already started working on "Just Dance". We just need a protection for the article. Too much IP crap addition going on. --Legolas ^(talk2me) 12:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thanks for your participation in my recent Request for adminship. I know you're aware of the comics project's GA drive; besides the most recent success, Pride & Joy (comics) on which you did the major work, we have also been successful in the last few months with Spider-Man, Spider-Man: One More Day, Silver Age of Comic Books, Alex Raymond, Winnie Winkle, LGBT themes in comics, and Hergé. Hope to see you around, and happy editing! :) BOZ (talk) 04:12, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

go for it

Your changes to the Daredevil article sound good to me, I'd only kick up a fuss if the fictional history was written in an in-universe fashion (which they got round on the spider-man article by creating a horrible horrible "fictional history of" article). --Cameron Scott (talk) 09:37, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Doctor Strange-WikiProject

Greetings, my friend. I come here to do just this: to address your complaint about me on the WikiProject talk page of the article Nico Minoru. I am sorry, but you spoke your own excuse for complaining of me rather poorly, my friend. I really am getting tired of reading and re-reading all these arguments and complaints, A, so to be blunt, what was your precise reason for complaint? You were the one who violated Wikipedian rules: first, on such a large issue concerning my edits, you did not take the time to contact me, instead secretly complaining about me to other users on another Talk page, and second: it was not meant to be about me, but of the Doctor Strange article, which you have obviously not bothered to see or edit to. Look, I'm sorry if my tone is getting a bit angry, but why didn't you just directly tell me? In my opinion, to my eyes, it's just disgusting, not to mention dishonorable, to do such a thing so covertly, without bothering to explain properly or to directly discuss it with me, instead just continuing to add to the endless complaints about my own edits. Please discuss this issue with me further. Aidoflight (talk) 21:57, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Very well, I apologize if you have taken offense, but kindly note that from my previous contact with all users, I have always craved and strove to be civil and courteous. However, less than civil responses have really worn my patience most thin indeed, and though I believe such an argument will come to a close, I still am deeply irritated and confused when I read the number of complaints against me. Again, I am deeply and genuinely sorry for offending you in any way, though, honestly, others on that page have said worse things. Please contact me again if you deem my apology to be insufficient still, and we will discuss ways I can make it up to you. Aidoflight (talk) 22:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your forgiveness, my friend. The next time we correspond, let it be upon more civil and happier terms. In thanks, Aidoflight (talk) 19:58, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I have rollbacked all of your changes on the daredevil article

Naw, only messing with you, looking good. Let me know if you need any sourcing checking or finding. --Cameron Scott (talk) 19:33, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
