Chris moyles
I just saw that you reverted my revert with the summary "this shouldn't have been reverted", and would appreciate your reasoning for this. I reverted it because it appeared to me that somebody had part censored an offensive word in a direct quote. Crimsone 23:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
- You reverted the censorship, which was correct, but also reverted a grammar change made in the same edit. I only changed the grammar, I didn't fully revert you. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 10:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- OK. We all make mistakes sometimes - thanks for picking up mine :) Crimsone 16:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Humourous
Humourous is a mistake, see User:Spellmaster. --Guinnog 01:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- I know, I meant to change it back after I realised. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 10:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Charlie G. Hawkins
It is Charles, foo'. Stop reverting my changes as well please, it's getting tedious. HelterSkelter88 00:50, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- He was born Charlie, not Charles. Look him up on any website with the Births, Deaths and Marriages indexes and you'll see, http://www.findmypast.com for example. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
That doesn't mean anything. I've read numerous times he has been known as actor Charles Hawkins, which made me "lol". Also I enjoy keeping that page up to date & informative. HelterSkelter88 21:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- Of course it means something. It means everything. It's his birth name. He's never been called Charles. Where did you read he's been called Charles Hawkins? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I can't remember, it was about 9 months ago now, when I did the page in the first place. And it's a bit unfair to say that I've not provided a lot for the page because without my input it'll still be a stub, there was absolutely nothing about him on the net really, I had to scour the corners of the net to find anything, really. Also found that picture which is the only one that isn't a promo or TV screenshot. Very unfair remarks. HelterSkelter88 03:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not saying your contributions aren't appreciated. It's good that you want to improve the encyclopaedia and are looking for information. Where did you find the image of Charlie G. Hawkins? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 10:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I actually can't remember now, it was one of the 4 corners of the internet thats all I remember, about 9 months ago... I don't like that picture though to be honest! Interesting that he's sporting Enter Shikari there though, which the BBC now have tipped to be huge this year - unknowns about a year ago. HelterSkelter88 23:52, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- The reason I asked is because if you didn't create the image yourself, it has the incorrect licence tag on it. The current licence says that as the creator of the image, you give permission for it to be copied, distributed, modified etc. but you can't do that if you're not the person who took the photo. A photo taken by a fan is still subject to copyright - the person who took the photo holds the copyright and you have to get permission to use it. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 00:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Amy Winehouse
I see you created the Winehouse songs category. I didn't check, but I assume you created the Winehouse albums category. Instead of the separation, why not a Winehouse Discography category, or a broader Winehouse-related category? Vegasrebel29 04:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't create the albums category but it is standard for songs and albums to go in separate categories - check out Category:Songs by artist and Category:Albums by artist. If a page is made for Winehouse's discography, it would be placed in Category:Discographies. It's possible to create Category:Amy Winehouse but I don't think those sorts of categories are created unless there's enough articles to go in them, for example, DVDs, or band members if it's a band (Category:Westlife and Category:Will Young are examples of these categories that I've created). — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
OK

Needing Help
Hello, I was wondering if you knew how to ask Wikipedia of an image that could be used as I want to start an article or contribute to one. So, I wondering how you get an image which already isn't on Wikipedia but to get it on. Sounds bizzare but please if you can help it'd be great. Oriana is cool 12:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Template: Greene
As you are aware, I nominated {{Greene}} for deletion a couple weeks ago. I have no problem with the outcome, other than I think the "userbox" solution (moving the box from template space to user space) would have been an appropriate result. While a number of comments suggested "userfy", no one offered to have it in their userspace. Today, in reviewing your AfD nom, I came across your "userbox". I'd like to propose userfying the template by replacing it with your box. (I'll also post this comment on the talk page for the template. Agent 86 02:03, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- That sounds fine to me, it just needs subst'ing, doesn't it? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 02:15, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'll try to take care of it over the weekend. Cheers, Agent 86 03:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
RE: RearEnders 2
I just wondered how you know this pornographic film is a spoof of EastEnders (other than the title of the film). If you've seen it (and I hope you haven't) I'd be interested to know in what ways it spoofs EastEnders. If you haven't seen it then we should just say the title of the film spoofs the name of the show, unless you've read about it. I know Nichola Holt's in it. And presumably there's a RearEnders film that came before RearEnders 2. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:13, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I can't find any information on a RearEnders 1... and I haven't seen it. The DVD cover is a spoof of EastEnders - you'll see if you do a Google image search for it. -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 23:17, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- There seem to be four RearEnders films. I've changed the article accordingly. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Removal from BJAODN
I just wondered why you removed a BJAODN from the BJAODN. Isn't that what it's for? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:31, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- Because in my opinion it wasn't really funny, just insulting. Like I said, Wikipedia is not Encyclopedia Dramatica. If your opinion on the removed piece is different, then do what you believe is best; I won't be revert-warring in BJAODN. - Mike Rosoft 23:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I found it funny but then again I'm a fan of the show. You may not have realised that Sonia Fowler is a fictional character. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
- I see. As I said, do what you believe is best. - Mike Rosoft 23:50, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Do You?
Do you WATCH me or something? Because it's getting very tedious you editing all of my edits. Nobody else does. Or do you just happen to have the same sort of interests as me? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by HelterSkelter88 (talk • contribs) 00:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
- I just happen to have some of the same pages on my watchlist. Your edits went against the manual of style so I reverted them. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 10:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Michelle McManus
I have noted your concerns over my changes to Michelle McManus' wiki page. I would like to point out that I was very drunk at the time.
By the way, I think someone is pissed off with you, or do you really enjoy nude cycle rides? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.101.131.31 (talk • contribs) 11:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
- I suggest not editing Wikipedia when you're drunk. I'm sure there's a page about that but I can't find it. And yes, I do enjoy nude cycle rides. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 12:22, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: Leona Lewis
Hey,
Sorry about adding the link. I just assumed you were allowed as the Maria Lawson page has 2 external links to fansites. Is it different rules for different pages?
Adi —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adi39 (talk • contribs) 22:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
- I've removed the fansite links from Maria Lawson (singer). It's the same rules for all pages :) — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 22:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Re: The Rose (song)
I apologise for my "vandalism" of the Wikipedia entry on The Rose (song). I did so as I disagree with the overabundant reference to the band Westlife and their version of the song. I feel the page should be more referent to the original Bette Midler version as it is the more popular version and thus is more likely to be sought information about. If you would be willing to add a picture of the Bette Midler record cover and some basic release facts in addition to the Westlife references I will consider the matter resolved and apologize for any problems I may have caused. If you do not see this as a amicable solution to the disagreement then I will seek to edit the page properly myself following the Wikipedia contributions guidelines and forums, thank you. Further correspondance may be sent to the e-mail provided below.

- Feel free to expand the article but please do not remove information about the Westlife version of the song. I don't have an image of the Bette Midler cover but I'm sure somebody will have it. I don't know any facts about the song, I have never even heard it. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 23:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

cast cards
How come you removed the cast card link on Paul Priestly? arent we allowed to link to these anymore?Gungadin 19:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed all the cast cards from all the EastEnders articles because, like many videos on YouTube videos, they're copyrighted, and there's nothing on the website to say they have permission to host them - so unfortunately we can't link to them on Wikipedia (it's pretty much the same as uploading them to Wikipedia, they'd eventually be deleted). I hope that clarifies the situation. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:40, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh I see, I hadnt noticed they'd been removed. That seems a bit strict. does this mean we cant use any references that also display copyrighted pictures either? Gungadin 19:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- As long as they're reliable sources (which I'm sure they all are), then there's no need to remove any references. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:58, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

cos i donnt no what u want cos i told u where it is, i didnt upload it i just no where it is on teh internet. Lilyfan87 19:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- You need to explain on the image description page, why the image should be permitted on Wikipedia under Wikipedia's rules for fair use. Also, the image has been listed as being a replaceable fair use image. This means that it illustrates a subject for which a free image might reasonably be found or created that adequately provides the same information. If you feel that the image cannot be replaced with a free image, you must add the template {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} to the image page, giving a reason why it cannot be recreated. Please do not remove the existing templates from the page - but instead, read what they say! — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 19:56, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Beware of banning IP ranges
Just received your message about someone editing wikipedia. If you ban this range, a large network will be affected, and I will be forced to have your administrative powers removed since you are now ON NOTICE. Do not ban this IP range, multiple users will be affected.
I just verified this information, and it appears that you are overstepping your bounds as an administrator, something I do NOT take lightly. I know many people who use wiki, and you are not the be all end all. You may want to review policies before you ban someone, especially in this case, where you will affect people who have done nothing wrong.
I quote from the message you sent: Repeated changing of English when you have been asked to cease doing it may be seen as vandalism.
However, there is NOTHING in the rules that states you are empowered to ban someone for this. Further, it specifically states, under "What vandalism is NOT":
Stubbornness
Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them about an editing issue, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is regrettable - you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. However, this is not "vandalism" and should not be dealt with as such.
That said, DO NOT BAN THE IP. I WILL DISPUTE IT AND HAVE YOUR POWERS AS AN ADMIN REVOKED POST HASTE DUE TO ABUSE AND INABILITY TO PROPERLY FOLLOW THE TENETS TO WHICH YOU AGREED TO.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.176.167.204 (talk) 06:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

Sonia Fowler has been "vprotected" - could you change it to "sprotected", like Phil and Ben, please? I don't know the difference but I think the "sprotected" banner makes it clearer... -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 20:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

- Lol, well done. The family sections on the EE articles are beginning to bug me. Especially members of the Beale/Fowler family, as some of them don;t have the whole family on there. I think I'll have an afternoon sometime soon where I sort out all the family sections - including hyphens in half siblings! -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 20:51, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- No hyphens! Yeah I noticed a lot of the Beale/Fowler clan aren't complete. And I think maybe that page was actually semi-protected but the wrong template was used, as my protection isn't in the page history or logs. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 21:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

My boyfriend wants us to have sex in our dirty unwashed underwear....
Recently me and my boyfriend were discussing what turns each other on. We had a discussion of all the usual fantasies, but his latest one made me feel sick - he said he wanted us to have sex in our unwashed underwear - and I said no. I said it would pose health risks, but he laughed it off as "patent nonsense".
Every time we have sex now he keeps demanding we do it, and I've told him no countless times, but he still insists its good. He even said to me "Life is better when your undies stink!" I said "What???" and told him no way, we're not doing it.
How do I convince him that his suggestion is very risky (in health terms) - as it is, isn't it??
What should I do?? He's still insisting we should do it, claiming "it's sexy and good for you".
Help me!

May I ask...
... why you're changing all the categories on the EastEnders articles to "DEFAULTSORT"? -Trampikey(talk)(contribs) 15:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm going through my entire watchlist with AWB, and one of the things it does is change the categories so they use the defaultsort thingy. I know it doesn't make any difference but it's good to be consistent. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Help?
OK, as you may have seen on my sandbox, I am creating a table of when characters appeared in the show. Is there any way [that you know of] for anyone browsing the table to hide rows [there are so many], so only two or three characters are shown, thus letting them compare which years said characters appeared in? I thought about the hide buttons on navigation templates, but then users would have to click [for example] 148 hide buttons out of 150 rows to compare two rows...

Help with free license pics
Hey can you help me with something as I'm not too sure how to go about this. A photographer from Flickr has allowed me to use some of his pics on Wiki under a free license. He just said let me know when it's done. So can I just uplaod them now and link to the original @ Flickr on the image page?
Gungadin 16:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, I did the same with Image:Leona Lewis2.jpg - just do what I did there! — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I thought I'd remembered reading you'd done it before that's why I asked. So do I just save the image to my pc and upload it that way, like with a screenshot, or do I need to export it from Flickr? Gungadin 16:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Just save it as you normally would. I don't know of any other way. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 16:55, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Great, thanks for your help. Gungadin 16:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hey I uploaded some of the free images on page Nikki Grahame, but the author wants to know if there is any way they can be licensed to just that page and not for anyone else who wants to copy them. Is this possible? Gungadin 18:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- If an image is licenced for use solely on Wikipedia then it's actually an invalid licence and the image will be speedy deleted. I'm not entirely sure of the reasons, it's a fairly new thing. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oh I see, he mentioned a creative commons tag, but I dont really understand the tags for this license and which could be used. I will ask JPS, or do you know anyone else I can ask? Gungadin 18:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about creative commons, JPS might know, I can't think of anybody else. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 18:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

American Idol (season 6)
===> Instead of being a brat and removing the American Idol Season 6 pictures - why don't you try to get them validated and leave them up until they are either validated or denied... The page looks bland with just text in it. Are you going to get sued if the pictures remain? No... so leave them up there. emceepotential 16:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't remove them, but it is against the conditions of fair use to have that many fair use images, also fair use images of living people are generally not permitted if they can be replaced by a free image. The season 5 article has about 42 fair use images. The X Factor UK and Ireland series 3 gets by with only one image. There's no reason why American Idol can't be the same. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 17:28, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
If You Can Help...
Hi. I noticed you seem to be very good at formatting userboxes, so I need to request your assistance. I have been trying to reorganize my userboxes, add a few new ones, and get rid of some old ones, but I somehow made a mistake in formatting, and my user page now has userboxes all over the place. If you can spot the problem, please repair it. Thank you very much in advance! aido2002 03:43, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- The only ways I can arrange userboxes is in one column as on my userpage or the way I've done it on my userbox page, I've tried other ways but wasn't able to make it look good. So if you want four columns, I don't really think I'd be able to help, but I can do similar to my userbox page if you want (or you can just copy the format). — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks anyway. aido2002 17:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Lost template
Why did you choose delete? It is a very helpful template, and I could've written it from scratch as far as anyone knows. I changed it to suit Wikipedia, and it is not broken at all. Please change your vote and ask others to do so as well. Thanks. -- SilvaStorm
- I just don't see the point of it, and as someone pointed out, when there are 5 seasons of Lost, the template won't work. — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 08:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
The links on the article 'Rise Underground'
Thank you for your message
The links on the article Rise Underground shall never be removed again, from now on. I don't have a good reason as why to remove the links.

Age category
Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:
- Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
- Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.
If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 12:52, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know where the title Doing It My Way came from, and I don't know why it's listed on the BBC's charts, but please can you note that Ray Quinn's official website refers to it as a self-titled album, for example on this page. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 20:58, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- I had only changed it because more than one news source referred to the album as "Doing It My Way". If that title is not mentioned anywhere on the album packaging, then one of his fans is perfectly entitled to remove any reference to that name. Steveweiser (talk) 21:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- I did a search and it seems there's lots of references to it being called that, but as far as I can see there's no reference to that name on the packaging (definitely not on the front) and the official website says it's self-titled. Anyway I just thought I'd make it clear that I am not, in any way, a fan of Ray Quinn. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 22:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I was hoping you might take another look at the deletion of Image:A7d65e0e.jpg. You deleted it for not having a copyright tag; however, it looks like it was originally PD-released by the uploader, Rainshine and an anon, 76.173.233.180 simply removed the tag for whatever reason. I wasn't sure if you forgot to check the history or if there was another reason for deleting the image. ShadowHalo 07:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:KitKatFineDarkUK.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:KitKatFineDarkUK.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).
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 "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 criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 17:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Ray Quinn (Doing It My Way)
I'm curious to know the source of your information that states this album has been marketed as "self titled" only, as every retailer I have encountered lists it as "Ray Quinn (Doing It My Way)". This includes All Music Guide, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Yahoo Music, and a host of others. It seems to me the correct title for the album would be Ray Quinn (Doing It My Way). (Mind meal 00:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC))
- Quinn's official website refers to it as "self titled" and the official website store links to Tesco.com which lists it as being titled "Ray Quinn". I don't know where "Doing It My Way" came from but it was listed with that title in the chart listings on the BBC website. Doing It My Way redirects to the correct title. I've not seen "Ray Quinn (Doing It My Way)" used anywhere, but then again I'm not really interested in buying the album :) In fact the official website does name the album - http://www.rayquinnmusic.com/news/ray_is_our_number_1.html?page=1 — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 12:27, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Yougivemesomething.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Yougivemesomething.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:51, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

ABI BRANNING
I see you keep reverting my very valid edits and have now seen to that the abi branning page is protected. I cannot see why you deleted what I added to the article, since it was all factually accurate. Now I know in the past I've made some less than sensible edits to certain pages but this time i wasn't taking the piss. What's more, that clown freak (User : can't sleep clown will eat me) bloody blocked me.

Removal of speculation/guesswork for The X Factor series 4
Hi AnemoneProjectors,
Just messaging you about the 'speculation/guesswork' I put on the article. I'm happy to have anything I've written edited or removed with good reason. I accept that the thing about the managment of the winning act was a bit too speculative and am okay with seeing that go. However the bit about the judges' vote for which act would go home each week was half fact. It is true that there will need to be a change to the format in this respect because with four voters there can be a tie. Speculation aside, it is perfectly permissible to say that the format will change with regard to the judges' vote without saying that bit about the mentor of the act with the lowest vote losing their right etc. May I re-add that bit about the judges' vote...? without the speculation! hehe
Let me know what you think,
Jonny —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki edit jonny (talk • contribs) 14:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC
- The management bit was indeed purely speculative. I think the bit about who goes home was also too speculative. I would simply say that there may not always be a majority and it is not yet known how it will be decided who goes home (without listing any possibilites). If that's ok with you... — AnemoneProjectors (I can't help it if I've got a natural curl to my hair!) 15:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
templates
Hey, do you think it would be worth making a character specific EE template for Pauline? As well as spouses we could have siblings, parents, children etc. That way we could get rid of the family section, but keep the same amount of info in the article. I thought it might be a good solution as the section is getting criticised quite a bit on the FA.Gungadin 19:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Do you mean a template like the family ones we have now, but that has all of Pauline's relatives from her family section? I don't think we should do something like that just for one article. Would it go on all the other pages? It would have to say how each person is related as well to keep the same amount of information which isn't good for a navigation template. — AnemoneProjectors (I can't help it if I've got a natural curl to my hair!) 19:13, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yeh that's what I was thinking. To have a line similar to the "spouse" part in the current templates, with "uncles & aunts" "siblings" etc. But I suppose it would get a bit big, and you're right, we'd end up having to do tons for each character, which isnt really practical.Gungadin 19:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
EastEnders Character page
Why do you keep on reverting peoples edits? Wikipedia is a website that can edited by all. Fair enough some edits do need reverting, but not all of them. The EastEnders character page is the page you seem to be focusing on more recently. The situation where the dates are being included, and then you revert them, you say is due to a "project consensus." - by who? Its the first i've heard of it and also alot of people judging by the number of times its being edited. Your excuse of it not being needed due to "individual dates is available in the articles for individual characters" can also be said for the ALL the other soaps but yet they have the date information both on the main page, and on the individual pages. Why should the EastEnders page have to be different. It looks stupid as it is now. It SHOULD be changed to include the dates. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.207.214.132 (talk • contribs) 22:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Forget it mate, your not all that imprtant- just because your a mod, not exactly God are you. Shows just how much your lot know about "free editing." (oh and if you think i will give a shit about being banned for this, i won't - i won't be coming back on anyway!) Got better things to do with my time than argue with a bunch of muppets (you being number 1) over edits that shouldn't have been reverted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.209.93.202 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC

Editor meco has posted a statement at 19:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC), on the talk page for the Human penis size article, that you, the nominator for deletion of, Category:Men with unusually large penis, are now his supporter in his effort to include his silly list, "Men famous for their large penis," in the Human penis size article. He is confusing you with AnonEMouse, who mentioned three names of non-porn stars in the category deletion discussion, which, in his confusion, and despertion for support, he takes as an endorsement for inclusion of his list in that article. 72.76.10.245 22:02, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

- Non-free images should have fair-use rationales so I believe Freedomeagle is correct to tag them. He should also inform the uploader that the rationale is missing to give them a chance to add one before the image is deleted. Anyway, see Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 21:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Lorna Fitzgerald
I do not understand why you insist on reverting perfectly accurate edits on this page. It is unnecessary and reduces the accuracy of the article. I don't know what point you are trying to make, but if I decided to constantly revert/delete perfectly true information, you wouldn't be best impressed, would you ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.37.249 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is necessary to remove personal opinions from Wikipedia articles. They do not belong here. If you want to say that someone is "cute" or whatever, join a fan forum. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 22:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. I do not regard this as purely a personal opinion (although it is true in my opinion). The general concensus of eastenders viewers is that she is cute. The article should include a section on 'popularity' or 'public perception' in order to improve it, whether or not it is 100% "factually accurate". I mean, the page on George Bush contains sections on his perceived image. Surely this is not 100% "factually accurate" , not in the same way as the statement, 'Bush is the president of the USA'. This comparison highlights the hypocrisy involved - if the article on Bush can have such a section why can't this one ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.37.249 (talk • contribs) 22:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Where is this "general consensus of EastEnders viewers" then? Even if true, it doesn't matter if people think she looks cute. Her looks are not important and describing them does not improve the article. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 23:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- If you go on the digital spy forums, a series of chatrooms about various soaps (as you probably know) you will find several threads specifically dedicated to both the character, Abi, and the girl that plays her, Lorna Fitzgerald. Very often the focus of these threads is 'Abi/Lorna is so cute' or a similar sort of statement. The comments made, both in these threads and in other, more general, eastenders threads, almost universally reflect this. Therefore it is safe to say that this is infact the general consensus of eastenders viewers. By saying that she is cute and adorable you are not merely "describing her looks", you are describing her persona. This is clearly a very relevant and important part of the article and obviously does improve it. Also describing her appearence is important since the article should contain as much relevant info as possible - and this is relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.76.37.249 (talk • contribs) 23:47, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- A forum isn't a reliable source, and doesn't make it the general consensus of all EastEnders fans. And it's still not important or relevant, so it will not be added to the article. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 18:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Pauline Fowler
Hey, what are your thoughts about the comments on the Pauline talk page? Are you still interested in getting it to FA? and do you think we should try and work all the storylines into the development so we can erase the duplicated information? I asked Trampikey, but he doesnt seem to be active here at the moment and I wanted to get your opinons before going ahead with it. I'm not bothered either way, but i'd be willing to do it if everyone thinks it's a good idea.Gungadin 20:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'll be honest with you, I haven't read most of the comments on the talk page (because they're so long and I have a short attention span!) but I would love to see the article reach FA status because we've all (you mostly) worked so hard on getting there, I think we've come too far to give up now. I suppose working the storylines into the development is the best idea, as other fictional characters with FA status don't have storyline sections. I feel a bit guilty though because I don't think I have it in me to do the work. But if you're willing to do it, I'll try to help in what ways I can (probably minor ones). — AnemoneProjectors (?) 20:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- That's ok, I dont mind doing it gradually, I was just worried about getting rid of the storyline section without approval, particularly as all the other character pages will still have them. Sometimes when i'm writing all that OOU stuff, I cant help but think what a load of bull-shit i'm writing - who would ever need/want to look that deeply into a soap opera character. I certainly don't and i'm the one writing it, lol.Gungadin 20:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- I still think we should start our own EastEnders wiki, where every character, shop, house, animal and plotline can have its own article. Then we could write as much plot as we wanted!!! It should be called Wiki-stEnders. Let's not do FA on any other articles, I like to keep them rubbish ;) — AnemoneProjectors (?) 20:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

It wont be long til they start on us. It seems to have started after they developed WP:PLOT, which is the deletionists wet dream come true, :o) Gungadin 22:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

RE : Lorna Fitzgerald. Excuse me matey - I'm not quite finished
In actual fact, a forum is a perfectly reliable source and is of course the consesus of Eastenders viewers since a wide variety of people comment on these forums. Hence it is a representitive sample of the population of Eastenders viewers and is therefore a reliable source. Seeing as I have 9A*s at GCSE, including subjects where you need to use sources, I think I know what I'm talking about, matey.
And WHY THE HELL isn't it important. It is clearly very important and relevant info to be included in the article. You have not justified why it isn't important, you have merely stated it, thinking that just because you are an "administrator" (ie: you spend more time on the internet than most other people) that gives you a right to do whatever you want. How exciting for you !! You don't seem to be able to come up with a logical reason as to why it cannot be inluded, or a logical response to any of my arguments, you just vaguely state, 'it is not important'.
I also noticed you protected the article. How very immature of you. Doing this means you get your own way just because you're a poxy administrator. I noticed on another wikipedia page (about protected pages) it says administrators should NEVER protect pages in an edit war witha non established user, but instead should resolve the issue on a user talk page. You are unable to do this, since you are unable to reasonably justify why my edits can't be included so you resort to the petty action of protecting the page. Well, seeing as you have gone against wikipedia policy by protecting the page in an edit war, I may have to report this to someone higher up, unless you include my edits in some shape or form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.19.169 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- It is not the consensus of EastEnders viewers. The majority do not post to forums. It's not important because it's not important. I protected the article against vandalism (i.e. yours). It is not an edit war. That is all I have to say on the subject and I will not respond to threats. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 21:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- 'It's not important because it's not important'. Wow, what a great justification. What the FUCK do you mean ? It IS an edit war, and I was not vandalising the page, I was adding factually accurate info, you retard. Just beacause you're pansexual and you're probably in love with a turtle or something. Just because you want to lift up its tail and sniff its little bottom, you gaylord. Just because your bisexual and enjoy sodomy you spaz. Fine don't respond to my "threat" (I think it was pretty generous of me to give you a warning you dickhead) but I WILL report this dogma. I don't care if this is all you have to say on the subject, I am most certainly not finished. Just because you didn't get 9A*s you are obviously very jealous and want to ruin my edits. So fuck you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.19.169 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Tell you what, I'll unprotect the page and let you add what you want to say about Lorna's cuteness. Just because you've made me laugh. Who cares about Wikipedia guidelines and policies anyway? — AnemoneProjectors (?) 21:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- What vile, offensive comments. Find a published source that says she's cute and you can quote it in the article. A forum topic does not count by the way and would not be seen as a reliable source. Some reporter may have described her as cute and complimented her acting in a review of Eastenders. If you are desperate to say she's cute then including it in the article that way would be acceptable.Gungadin 22:15, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Edit to Cambridge
I've just reverted an edit to Cambridge made in your name, stating that "Many cyclists in Cambridge prefer to do so naked". I must say I've never witnessed this phenomenon! I notice you are an administrator, so I assume good faith - I just hope someone doesn't have unauthorised access to your account. All the best, --Malfidus ~ (talk) 16:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- I have found a news article about 1 person riding through Cambridge nude, although I don't think that this is enough to be included in the article. Tiddly Tom 17:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- There is one person who is quite well known for doing it, and there are two local news articles about him that I have seen. Apparently there are other people who cycle in Cambridge naked, but I haven't seen them for myself. I just wondered if it was mentioned at all on the article and it wasn't so I decided to add it (I should have sourced it but I was feeling lazy). Feel free to remove it if you don't think it should be there. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 18:01, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- If there are infact several people that have done it, it should be kept. I think the statement should be well sourced though. After a quick Google search, I can only find one instance[3]. If you could find more, it should be kept, if not, in my opinion, it should go. Tiddly Tom 18:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- The only other source I can find is this, which just mentions that Richard cycles nude. Richard was also organising a World Naked Bike Ride in Cambridge[4], but it was cancelled. Now that could probably be sourced and added. — AnemoneProjectors (?) 18:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
- So far, we have one nudist cyclist, whose exploits on one particular day were uncommon enough to spark a news article. Nude cycle protests and nudist bike events have taken place in other cities (eg. York), without being mentioned in those articles. As it stands, the disputed statement is misleading, as it sounds as though a number of Cambridge residents regularly cycle around nude, which just isn't true. If you believe it to be notable and relevant content for an encyclopaedia article (which I honestly do not), please qualify and source the statement. --Malfidus ~ (talk) 18:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Categories for redirects
Regarding a few of your edits such as [5], [6], and [7], please take the time to read when a redirect should be properly categorized.

Merging of Kids
What are your thoughts on merging past babies/young children into the minor lists, such as Jack Evans and Joe dimarco? I know they appeared over many years, but most of them had no real storylines of their own, so expansion wont ever be possible. There isnt much OOU info that can be included in their articles either. The only exception I can think of is Hassan Osman and maybe Tomas Covelenco (but he's been merged anyway).Gungadin♦
- Yeah I agree with that. Trampikey was supposed to add the crying stuff for Tomas but never did... — AnemoneProjectors (?) 20:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Minor characters
Would you have any objections to me including a bullet point list of supporting characters within the list of minor characters? I'd like to make our lists as comprehensive as possible, but some of the minor characters dont merit their own sections with infoboxes in my opinion, because there's very little to say about them, but I would still like to list them somewhere.
Each bullet would have a small sentence about the character and possibly their appearance dates. I think this would be a good way to include them without clogging up the page with tons of infoboxes and barely any writing. Another reason for this is to keep fairuse images on the pages down - I'm not sure if it matters for character lists, but I noticed that the pages were listed at a 'fairuse overuse' page before we split them. Some minor characters have bigger roles than others and this way we could keep the infoboxes with images for the more important ones. What do you think? Gungadin♦ 19:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

They've changed the rules
Have you taken a look at this recently Wikipedia:Notability (fiction). They have completely changed the guideline on minor character lists. This is a quote from the talk page
- "The idea is to indeed draw the notability standard upward, because as it stands right now, too many all-in-universe subarticles/lists are around (most of which created as temporary "dams" for this info; right now, WP:FICT is defensive and not authoritative); these are full of excessive plot summary without any real-world material to balance it out. If an article/list cannot be transformed into a complete encyclopedia article, then it shouldn't be notable enough for Wikipedia; instead, it belongs on specific wikis. After all, even though we aren't paper, we are still a general purpose encyclopedia"
It used to say non-notable characters should be merged into a list, as we did, but now they are saying that these lists should not exist if notability cant be proven. This confuses me, because if notability can be proven then surely they would be entitled to their own page anyway! The lists also have to be written OOU perspective now. I've noticed that some character lists have already been nominated for deletion. I cant believe they can just change the rules like this! Sources for the 80s and 90s characters will be impossible to find. Do you think there's any point in continuing to extend our lists now? Gungadin♦ 20:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- I totally disagree with those changes. I don't see why we should give up. Don't let those deletionists get you down. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 20:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- I suppose you're right, but the constant rule changes here are beginning to make me lose interest in this project. It seems that a small minority of forceful individuals make all the policy and guideline chages.
- You know when you mentioned making an EE wikia a while ago, were you just joking? Because i'm starting to like the thought of it. It would mean that we could save wikipedia for just the main characters and never have to worry about threat of deletion again. For characters like Pauline, all the in-universe stuff can be moved to the wikia and linked to within the Wikipedia article, meaning FAs would be much easier to pass too. Ive noticed this done on some other projects (smallville I think it was).Gungadin♦ 16:04, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- I wasn't joking but I wouldn't know how to do it. But it would be great to have our own EastEnders Wiki. Then every character, no matter how minor, and every pet and every house and every shop and every bench and war memorial and shed could have their own separate page. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 16:44, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- and no OOU bullshit to write and no AFDs! sounds great. Seems an EE wiki already exists [8] it was started in Dec 2006, but there doesnt appear to be anything on it yet :) Gungadin♦ 17:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Great! What do we do next? — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 17:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- We can just begin creating articles and personalising the project any way we want to apparently. You can type the article name (ie Jane Beale) into the search bar on the wiki page, and it will take you to an edit page just like Wikipedia. I might go and include a Pauline one, using the detailed plot summary we had before the cuts. What do you think? it's not necessary to even be logged in by the look of it.Gungadin♦ 17:57, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

ah well, it's always there as an option if we need it. It's only worth doing it if everyone is on board anyway. I like the idea of dumping Pauline's storylines there and linking to it. That way we could keep the content instead of rewriting it all for the FA.Gungadin♦ 19:18, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

- "article should have no single point of view. Sometimes this requires representing multiple points of view; presenting each point of view accurately". My point of view is one point of view. You could write another point of view if that makes you happy. Then we'd have multiple points of view !! You simply stating that my point of view is not worthy (without any justification) is immature. Just because you say something doesn't make it true.

Hi i'd appreciate your opinions on this OOU Pauline rewrite that i've started. I was unsure whether or not to make the information chronological, but I decided to go with themes instead, otherwise i'd have to break up the Arthur section and that works as a stand alone segment. This is not complete yet, but I wasnt planning to add anymore titled sections, I will just work the rest of the storylines into the ones there. Feel free to let me know if you have any ideas for changes or inclusions. I'm not keen on the title 'early storylines', but I dont know where else to put this information, the stuff about fibroids and her being axed in 1989 isnt relevant to the other segments is it?Gungadin♦ 17:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Having just briefly looked it over it seems fine to me. Is this your way of eliminating the storylines section completely? That's a good idea! See what Trampikey thinks - I think he prefers things in chronological order. I certainly have no objections. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 17:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yeh, i'm trying to include all the bits from the storyline section into the development section so nobody will be able to complain about repetition. I dont think Trampikey's interested in doing another FA. I did ask him when the FA failed what he thought about me rewriting it, but he didn't reply so I assumed he didn't care either way.Gungadin♦ 18:53, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well you're obviously interested and I'd love to see the article reach FA standard. I think the themes thing is fine, maybe actually better than chronological order. So go for it. The best I can do to help is check for spelling, grammar, punctuation and wikification (one day that'll be added to GCSE exams!), but every little helps, right? — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yeh, it certainly does and it's good to be able to talk through decisions with someone too. I'm very indecisive :) Gungadin♦ 21:45, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
This is near enough complete now. I've tried to include all the plot details. I hope it's ok, let me know what you think, and feel free to edit the sandbox if you want to change anything. Gungadin♦ 17:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
Old SALT vs New SALT
This is mostly an FYI to you as an admin who still uses the old, templated method for salting pages. That method of salting pages is depricated, and the template is now up for deletion. While things can still change, the current discussion definitely looks headed towards deletion. Assuming that this happens, you will no longer be able to salt pages with the old method, and will need to begin using the newer salting method that involves cascading protection on the title, and allows recreation to be blocked while still having no article at the name, leaving it as a red link. This new method of salting is centered at WP:PT, and the instructions for how to make it work are there as well. - TexasAndroid 13:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- I never salted before (until recently), but I'll try to do it the new way in future. Or not at all if it turns out that it looks too complicated. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 14:50, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's not too complicated. For me, I mostly just find the current month's page, and on it I duplicate an existing listing and then edit the duplicate to show the correct information for the newly protected page. As for you not doing it much, I gave the notice to all admins who used the old salting template in the last month or so, to get it to all who have used it. You used it, so you got the notice. :) - TexasAndroid 15:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
- Chances are I'll never need to do it again. But you can blame Wikipedia:Protected deleted pages because I just did what it said to do first. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 15:59, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
I'm thinking of doing something to counter the numerous edits we've had which state the judges' categories on the main X Factor page. Do you know the template that directs readers to the talk page? It appears on the page in superscript and reads 'see discussion', or something like that. Thanks. Jonny - Wiki edit jonny 17:08, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- I can't say I've seen one of those. Hehe, everytime someone adds the judges to the categories, it's different! I'll put a comment on the page that might help but probably won't. I think we know that Louis hasn't got the groups this year... — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 17:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way, on the show they seem to be referring to the lower age groups as "Boys" and "Girls". What do you think about changing it to just that? — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 17:59, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think it is a ploy to differentiate the younger category from the older category and to make it seem somewhat 'hip'. I'm not keen on the idea of calling it boys and girls because A). It is incorrect - there are people in that category who are as old as 24. B). Those kinds of terms never look good in an encyclopedia article. But it is a fair consideration :-) Jonny - Wiki edit jonny 21:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

- You could say that about all pictures that are added to Wikipedia articles. In any case, images are used to help a reader visualize what they have just read. I think it is important to include it because it is the only pic in the article of her post-X Factor. It is also symbolic on a more abstract level that an artist from a talent show in the UK is signed by major US music executive; the image illustrates this event. Bear in mind that this event was international - all major record execs. around the world attended. Wiki edit Jonny 19:10, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Leona's album/Bleeding Love review
Hi, I removed the "Bleeding Love" review from the album but there are some comments about the album that you might like to add, such as "Good things are worth waiting for and this is no exception. The debut album is likely to surprise critics." I was going to do it myself but am too tired at the moment to put it into the right words! — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 23:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

- I saw that earlier and it made me laugh lol. Yeah, it's good that it provides a different opinion. I'll get working on it now... Wiki edit Jonny 16:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- Should I include the comment saying: 'Lewis wisely restrains her vocals, never devolving into those vocal acrobatics that have historically plagued Christina Aguilera.'? It's highly relevant because Christina and Mariah (Carey) have received criticism for their 'vocal acrobatics' that makes their work 'more impressive than expressive'. However, the comment isn't neutral because it is defamatory of Aguilera. Wiki edit Jonny 17:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

- Should I include the comment saying: 'Lewis wisely restrains her vocals, never devolving into those vocal acrobatics that have historically plagued Christina Aguilera.'? It's highly relevant because Christina and Mariah (Carey) have received criticism for their 'vocal acrobatics' that makes their work 'more impressive than expressive'. However, the comment isn't neutral because it is defamatory of Aguilera. Wiki edit Jonny 17:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

- What about this review of "Bleeding Love"? I know it's a bad one but a) it would keep the article balanced and b) I love the line "it sounds as much like Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" as a ballad can." :) — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 14:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Mark Hudson being fired from The X Factor
I was just wondering whether to include that vocal coach, Mark Hudson (the one with the colourful beard), will not be returning for the fourth series. He's a pretty minor character, but a character nonetheless. The story can be seen here[9] Merci beaucoup. Wiki edit Jonny 13:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yes. To be honest it was such old news that I assumed it was already there. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 13:20, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Leona Lewis debut album
Why have you added the "Critical reception" bit to Leona's album page? The article you are linking it to is a review of the single "Bleeding Love" and not the album, hence the title of the article "Leona Lewis is back with Bleeding Love". There have been no reviews of the album yet.
Oh and can I also ask why you changed the single cover of "Bleeding Love" back to a lower quality version where the text is smaller? The new one I got from her official site and that's why I uploaded it. As it stands, the cover on the article now is wrong and not the proper one. Adi39 20:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't add the critical reception section but parts of that article are about the album, not just the single. I didn't check which parts so some of it may be wrong, but it shouldn't be removed in its entirety. The single cover already uploaded was fine. Until the single is out, we don't know the size of the text, it seems that they haven't really decided on the final cover yet. I suggest leaving it as it is until there are more images. However, it's just as easy to upload a new version of the same image, i.e. keep the same image name on Wikipedia, rather than upload with a new name. That way the article doesn't need to be changed and the old image doesn't end up tagged for deletion. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 15:43, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah but that article isn't a review of the album so the sentence - "The first reviews of the album gave a mixture of opinions." is false as there haven't been any reviews of the album. This part - "One described it as "leaving you wanting to hear more", saying, "...from the moment she opens her mouth we are instantly reminded about her amazing voice, capable of heart stopping intensity and a playful light touch..." is all about Bleeding Love and not the album. The only part about her album is "Good things are worth waiting for and this is no exception." And sorry, I didn't know you could upload a new image with an identical file name to another. I assumed they all had to be different names. Adi39 19:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Like I said, I didn't add that section. But sure, go ahead and remove it as just that one sentence doesn't add anything. I think the originally uploaded image of the cover actually looks more professional than the one with larger text, so I hope they actually use that one. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 13:45, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ok will do! Yeah I prefer the smaller text but the quality of the pic is better in the larger text cover. I think they just want the title to stand out. Adi39 13:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- By the way, I uploaded the image from the latest email, which is more similar to the one you uploaded. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 15:39, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
The socks
Thanks for blocking the recent Trueman31 sockpuppets, but please note that User:Ln of x is a different sockpuppet to User:Trueman31. Ln of x always mentions Abi Branning, Lorna Fitzgerald or me, whereas Trueman31 is into more random vandalism or adding false information to articles. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 18:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for telling me, I didn't realize they were different socks. I just assumed from this user, this one, this sock, and this sockpuppet that they were all the same person. Thanks for clarifying. Acalamari 18:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, they've both used "VS AnemoneProjectors", so they could be the same, but they make distinctly different edits, and have left each other messages (though not uncommon for socks). I haven't seen any other evidence to suggest they are the same person, and I still believe they are different people. By the way, is there anything we can do to stop them coming back all the time? — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:05, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
- One way is to keep blocking them and hope they go away (which, most of the time, does work, but not always), though another way is to list all the socks at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/IP check and have a checkuser find and block the underlying IP is it's possible to. However, it seems that Mr.Z-man has listed the Trueman31 socks there at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/IP check#User:Trueman31 already. I hope that helps. :) Acalamari 19:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Spears's
This matter was debated earlier, and was moved to Spears's. I am surprised that you felt it correct to move it and change all the Spears's references. Wiki style guides indicate that Spears's is the correct form and the move was originally done by an admin. I suggest you revert the move. Thanks 15:07, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- "If the singular possessive is difficult or awkward to pronounce with an added s sound, do not add an extra s; these exceptions are supported by The Guardian, Emory University's writing center, and The American Heritage Book of English Usage." Spears's is not the correct form and I will not revert the move. It doesn't take an admin to move a page and if I wasn't an admin I would have moved it anyway. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 15:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Ray Quinn
Why did you revert my edits to Quinn's debut album? I don't think it is an album of covers, as all the songs on the album are known in many versions by many artists, not just one off renderings. Gareth E Kegg 18:36, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- They're not original Ray Quinn songs, so I think that makes it a covers album. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Shoddy bios for X Factor 4 finalists
Hi there, as you are an admin and have more power than I, would you be able do something about the crap mini-biographies some people have done for the Girls and the Over 25s in the X Factor 4 article? They've just copied and pasted it straight from the X Factor website with little editing at all. Not only this, they don't provide the information we need, like their age, their occupation etc. And, they haven't referenced it. All the best Wiki edit Jonny 18:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- There's nothing I can do as an admin that you can't! But if it's copied and pasted from the X Factor website then it's a copyright violation and can't be used. It should be written from scratch. I'll take a look when I'm free. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 19:04, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks for the intervention though. I'll bear in mind what you said. I'm having to do the bios in my spare time as I'm in my final year at uni atm and have a lot of work. I'll get them done eventually, they're just a bit time-consuming. Wiki edit Jonny 20:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Letitia Dean website
Hey AP, can you give your opinion/advice on this User talk:Gungadin#Advice on proof (Letitia Dean official fan site) Does Wiki have a way for checking whether so-called official sites are genuine? It seems genuine to me, but it keeps getting removed with no explanation.Gungadin♦ 21:36, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- I was looking at that myself. It probably is official but it shouldn't be listed as a fan site or it will be removed. If it's her offical website it should just say "Official website" and not "Official fan site". I'm just changing it now and removing the actual fansite and forum. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 21:46, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Oh yeh, I hadnt noticed that it was saying fansite. So is it right that no fansites are allowed to be listed whatsoever? I'm sure the rules for external links used to say explicitly, but they seem to have been altered since I last looked at them.Gungadin♦ 21:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

- Okay, no worries. It's obvious Simon's favouring Hope over Futureproof as he's given the girl band contemporary hit, Umbrella, whilst the boys have got 90s mediocre song, She's the One. Can't wait to see Sharon's reaction to Rhydian, maybe he's grown on her. I have a feeling Same Difference are going tonight — they're singing Tragedy... need I say more? lol Wiki edit Jonny 12:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- They've been favourites to go first for ages but a lot of them are singing pretty dire songs. I'm quite disappointed. From that list I'm only really happy with Alisha's, Niki's and Emily's songs, maybe Leon's too. Kimberley, Beverley and Same Difference have the worst choices. I also hate that Meatloaf song but I think it could suit Rhydian. I'm working on getting it all ready now, all wikilinked and such... — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 13:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Same Difference were surprisingly okay. I think Kimberley was definitely the right choice as there's no way she could have won the competition (and she just looked plain odd with the Christina thing going on). WHAT HAPPENED WITH LEON?! Poor thing, he's got an amazing voice but his performance tonight was just a mess! Niki, Beverley, Rhydian and Hope stood out for me though (although ITV's gonna get a tonne of complaints for Raquelle's slapper top). What about you? Wiki edit Jonny 22:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- I wanted Leon to go. I've never liked him. Out of the two though, I'm glad it was Kimberley. She was in my bottom four. Daniel's was actually a bad choice. Same Difference weren't bad, and I think they will have a market, Louis is wrong. Niki, Futureproof, Hope and Beverley stood out for me. Actually, Leona stood out the most! Hehehe! Was Sharon drunk by the time Rhydian was on stage? And did you see Kimberley mouth the word "fuck" at the end of her second performance? lol — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 23:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- She so did! She wasn't particularly professional either as she forgot the words in the first performance and broke down in the second. Yeah, Daniel wasn't as good as I was hoping, not particularly distinctive. Totally, Leona was great, definitely had a boob job but it was good to finally silence all those journalists wondering where she's been the past 9 months! Did you notice that Sharon's got considerably more bitchy this time round with the whole 'Mama' thing? Scary. And, how bad were Sharon's song choices? She is my favourite judge but this position is becoming questionable Wiki edit Jonny 23:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- You think Leona's had a boob job? I doubt it! Sharon's starting to scare me. She'll probably quit now. I still think she was drunk. And I can totally understand why Louis was sacked before. His comments (even his nice comments) really infuriate me. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 23:36, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Don't even get me started on Louis, he's always been the most contemptable judge! I've definitely noticed a change in his judging style - he's more ruth/reckless. Probably because Simon and the producers sat him down and told him why they sacked him... cos he's rubbish! Upping his performance sealed the bargain really. I think Sharon was certainly drunk though, nothing new there then! She said that Rhydian was 'completely barmy'. Coming from Sharon Osbourne I'm not quite sure what to make of that. Dannii's judging was good though — constructive and critical. Wiki edit Jonny 23:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
- Louis Walsh has just turned nasty really. Simon has got better. Louis just has no tact really. Yeah Dannii's good too. I like Sharon but I think she seemed a bit depressed. Her song choices were weird. If she's not careful, she'll have no acts left soon. — AnemoneProjectors (会話) 23:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Songs for week 2
What do you think of the songs for this week?[14] Personally I think Daniel's is a disaster and I don't know why Sharon's got Alisha singing a song that's 40 years old. All the others I'm happy with though. Wiki edit Jonny 09:38, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Andy and Daniel = terrible choices. Leon and Same Difference = I don't know the songs but I can see "Breaking Free" is from HSM. Emily = very good choice. Futureproof = absolutely brilliant choice. Oh and please can you send me the link every week so I can prepare the table for the Saturday (as I don't check the website very often)? It's really helpful to know in advance. Thanks. anemone
|projectors 11:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)- What did I say? :P Alisha's song was a terrible choice and so was Daniel's so am not too bothered they were in the bottom two. The groups were pretty good tonight and I thought Niki was very good (even though the top notes were very strained). I think Rhydian sank to an all-new level of unothordoxy with his performance, very dramatic and odd! What did you think? Wiki edit Jonny 20:50, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- I blame the judges. Both very bad choices. I can't stand Rhydian but then I don't like operatic pop music. I know he's good and I'd understand if he won but I don't want him to. I agree that he could be world class though, and that's what they want. For me, Futureproof were the best tonight. anemone
|projectors 21:01, 27 October 2007 (UTC)- Futureproof were fantastic. Their performance was slick, un-boy-bandish i.e. non-cheesy, it was powerful and the harmonies were tight... I loved it. Louis seriously pissed me off tonight with the way he disagreed with Simon for the sake of it. Daniel's song was crap and he wasn't man enough to admit it. He also forgets that even though he doesn't like 'kitsch' or 'cheesy', as he puts it, he needs to admit that there is a substantial market for acts like Same Difference. Ironically, he said that, then he had Daniel singing Build Me Up Buttercup... sorry but I'm seeing double standards. And if he doesn't like 'kitsch' what the hell was he doing with Eton Road?! It's so obvious he's slamming Same Difference because Simon gave him a hard time over the MacDonald Brothers. I wish he'd stop being incompetent and just do his job. Wiki edit Jonny 22:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
- I want Futureproof to win now. I don't care if their second single flops and they never release an album, they just deserve to win. Yeah Louis pisses me off every week. I totally understand why he was sacked and I hope they sack him for good if he doesn't stop being at twat. You're totally right about Eton Road. I can see Same Difference doing Eurovision next year, if they don't win, that is. Which they won't, because Futureproof is going to... anemone
|projectors 22:20, 27 October 2007 (UTC)- I sent a list to the series producer when they were trying to find a new judge.

- I blame the judges. Both very bad choices. I can't stand Rhydian but then I don't like operatic pop music. I know he's good and I'd understand if he won but I don't want him to. I agree that he could be world class though, and that's what they want. For me, Futureproof were the best tonight. anemone
- What did I say? :P Alisha's song was a terrible choice and so was Daniel's so am not too bothered they were in the bottom two. The groups were pretty good tonight and I thought Niki was very good (even though the top notes were very strained). I think Rhydian sank to an all-new level of unothordoxy with his performance, very dramatic and odd! What did you think? Wiki edit Jonny 20:50, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

'Under Review' tag
As you're an admin, I thought I'd ask you... I'm looking to put one of those things to say that it doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards and/or it's under review at the top of the Spice Girls article.

This week's songs
Not too keen on Futureproof's song, but there are quite a few I've never even heard of - what's "Hanky Panky"?! Emily and Alisha finally have appropriate songs though. Never thought 'Reach' by S-Club 7 was a big band number! I like the fact that I haven't heard of a few of them, it's more original.[16] Wiki edit Jonny 12:37, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Turns out "Hanky Panky" is by Madonna, in her 1990 album I'm Breathless Wiki edit Jonny 13:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Hardly any of them are big band this year so it's hardly a theme... Emily won't do her song justice. I know the Madonna song, could be good. Rhydian should do well again. Niki isn't sexy enough to pull off her song. Really looking forward to Same Difference this week! I'm starting to really like them! Not as much as Futureproof but I'm a bit disappointed by their song, but they should do it well. Leon's is predictable. Andy's I hadn't heard of. Beverley's is a good song but not sure she can pull it off. Alisha's is a good choice, and I think she will be able to perform it well. Is that everyone? :) anemone

Question
There has been some problems with adding unsourced, and/or unreliable information to the List of Smallville episodes page. Robinepowell continually adds episode titles and airdates to the page without providing any source, or providing sources that completely fail Wikipedia's reliable sourcing guideline. As you can see on on her talk page, I have continued to try and explain to her the problems with each of the sources she's claiming to get the information from. First she pulled from Kryptonsite, which is a fansite. Then she pulled from spoilerfix, episode world, episode list, and scifistream.com. All appear to get their information from Kryptonsite, some explicitly saying so. The key to the majority of those sources she cites is that any registered person can edit and add more episodes on their pages. When I reviewed each sources "About us" page, it was clear that they were all fansites. You can see the sources on my talk page. She has since been claiming that a TV Guide source that says Smallville has enough scripts for 16 episodes is a translation that all the titles and airdates on those fansites is fair game to use--even though TV Guide does not mention any title or airdate for any episode in their article. This is become such a stupid edit war, and I'm only trying to preserve the integrity of the featured list. Am I wrong in this? I'm sorry to bug you with it, but you're one of the few Admins I know that appears around television related articles. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- No, you're not wrong. They're not reliable sources, especially as one of them says "Airing order is estimated until the official U.S. air dates are announced." Would you like me to do something about it? :-S anemone
|projectors 22:47, 6 November 2007 (UTC)- Right now, maybe just say something to her. I'm hoping to avoid a lot of combativeness with this, and maybe she'll respect the advice of an admin over a regular editor. I mean, she's saying that this source confirms that "Siren" will be January 10, when it only confirms an episode title of "Siren", and not what number that episode will air. And that this source confirms all the titles and airdates. I don't know, maybe explain that she cannot use the synthesis of the TV Guide articles with the Kryptonsite titles to confirms titles and airdates. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the first link says "Black Canary will make her first appearance on the CW series in the Jan. 10 episode" and then "where there’s Black Canary, the Green Arrow can’t be far behind. Indeed, the episode, titled “Siren,” will feature the return of the Emerald Archer" so I think it's safe to say the January 10 episode will be called "Siren". But then again, you don't know which number episode will be on that date (right?). The other source doesn't give anything, at least that I can see. If Kryptonsite is unreliable (which it is) then it can't be used, even in conjunction with the other source, something to do with WP:SYN, maybe. anemone

Songs
Pretty happy with all of them, although they could have found a better song for Rhydian. [18] Wiki edit Jonny 11:43, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Hope will probably be a disaster. Leon will be rubbish, boring song. Which Because of You is Niki doing? Rhydian's is a rubbish song but no doubt everyone will love him. Same Difference could be bad cos it's a hard song to do but I hope they do it well. Futureproof will be the best. anemone

|projectors 15:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)- I tried to say this last week but my internet cut out. Personally, I'm losing faith in the whole show. None of this year's contestants are remarkable, none of them would make an impact if they were in the music industry. They've tried too hard with this series to make it 'dazzling' and I feel that they're getting a bit cocky. It's all gone a bit nasty with the constant bickering between the judges which deviates from what the show's really about. The controversy as well pisses me off and it just reminds me of what a yobbish, ugly society we live it. I just feel that it's lost its charm; which is why I haven't been that involved in the article recently. Wiki edit Jonny 19:26, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

fan website links
Hello, I was wondering if you could clarify something for me. When editing wiki articles, am I correct in thinking that it is inappropriate to include external links to fansites? I was under the impression that if people are contributing to an article about a singer or actor for example, then only their official website should be included as well as any relevant published sources (such as newspaper articles, interviews, IMDb page, etc). I have come across a few pages recently that have links to fan websites and always thought that this was considered to be inappropriate linkage to Wiki articles as they are not technically official sources - regardless of how well made they are. Thank you. 79.69.45.4 23:38, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- I believe you are correct, however, on reviewing WP:EL, it doesn't specifically mention fansites. If it helps, I always remove fansites when I see them listed. anemone
|projectors 23:43, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply. Although I can see that there is no specific mention of fansites on WP:EL I believe that they are covered sufficiently in Personal Web Pages (in the "links to be avoided" section) and therefore contravene Wiki policy. Can you also offer your thoughts on the use of MYspace page links. In the same "links to be avoided" section, there appears to be a blanket policy on MYspace page links, regardless of whether it is a celebrity's own MYspace page. Should these too therefore also be avoided as a rule? 79.69.45.4 06:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- You're right, I didn't spot that "personal websites" bit. As for MySpace, my personal opinion is that official MySpace pages should be allowed. It does say at the top: "Except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or an official page of the article subject" — my opinion is that official MySpaces are covered by that. I think #11 probably refers to fan-made MySpace pages, but it's not clear. anemone

It does say at the top: "Except for a link to a page that is the subject of the article or an official page of the article subject" — my opinion is that official MySpaces are covered by that. I think #11 probably refers to fan-made MySpace pages, but it's not clear. anemone
- Thank you for your reply. Although I can see that there is no specific mention of fansites on WP:EL I believe that they are covered sufficiently in Personal Web Pages (in the "links to be avoided" section) and therefore contravene Wiki policy. Can you also offer your thoughts on the use of MYspace page links. In the same "links to be avoided" section, there appears to be a blanket policy on MYspace page links, regardless of whether it is a celebrity's own MYspace page. Should these too therefore also be avoided as a rule? 79.69.45.4 06:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- In that case I finally have a source that says Lorna Fitzgerald is cute. Go onto her official bebo page and there it is. You said that a myspace page counts, and so therefore does a bebo page. Since I now have a source to state that Lorna Fitzgerald is cute, this has to be included in the article. Modulo 12 03:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppets
It seems TWINKLE isn't very helpful when reporting sockpuppets! Sorry for the confusion in tags added to various user pages - it was the first time I'd used TWINKLE for reporting sockpuppets and I don't think I will again! Stephenb (Talk) 19:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Stevenage
Just wanted to say thanks for taking some photos of Stevenage. I wanted to (and it would be easy as I live there), but I don't own a camera. Did you come on a Sunday? It's a shame, because the place looks empty and it's not typical. A busy Saturday afternoon would have been better! You'll have to come back! anemone|projectors 23:03, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments on the photographs. They were taken just after sun-rise during the week. The intention was to take photos of the buildings without people but I do agree with you they need to be complemented by images of a living town. I will keep it in mind, but it may be some time before I am in that part of the world again, particularly during shopping hours.

- If you go to the bottom of the page Wikipedia:Userboxes there's a navigational template (or click that link) with links to all the subpages that contain lists of userboxes and their codes. There's your database. They're split into subjects like languages, food, films, etc, to make it easier to find what you want. Userboxes are probably the simplest thing to bring some colour to your page, although a few people tend to ignore them. There's some really good looking userpages around but I have no idea how they do it. Mine is pretty simple too, I think. I also have a subpage with more userboxes, if you're interested. anemone

Lots of userboxes are in the user space rather than the template space, and many aren't listed there, but there are also users who have large colletions of userboxes with their own lists.

Love songs week
I'm not sure who the original artists are of Leon and Hope's songs. But I think it's good to see Rhydian doing a straight-up vocal performance rather than prancing around on stage. There's no way Beverley can pull off that number, her voice is no way near good enough. Niki's is likely to sound dated. Same Difference will probably pull that one off because they did it at their judges' homes audition.[20] Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like Hope are doing the Christina Aguilera version and Leon is doing the one by Eddy Arnold. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:55, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

WHAT THE HELL ARE HOPE STILL DOING IN THE COMPETITION?!?! It's so obvious that the public don't like them because they've been in the bottom two three times now. It doesn't matter how bloody good you are, if no-one likes you then no-one's gonna buy your singles! Beverly sounded a lot worse over the TV than what the judges were hearing — they loved her performance when it sounded terrible from where I was sitting. On a firmly positive note, Same Difference were seriously good tonight! I have finally been won-over by those two because they actually delivered a decent vocal performace rather than larked around with props on stage. Rhydian was so-so tonight in my opinion; he can do a lot better than that because his performance wasn't original. Niki as well lost it halfway through her song and it sounded rough. I'm starting to like Leon a lot now. He's a better jazz-singer than a pop singer, hopefully we won't have another Ray Quinn on our hands! I've got to say though, I loved the whole deadlock thing, it was so dramatic and the suspense was way better than the normal voting. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 21:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- Lol! Hope are in because they got more public votes. Sharon did the right thing but voting for Beverley. I happen to like Hope, and I admit they had a bad week but they've been excellent in the past. Beverley did sound terrible, I knew she wouldn't pull off that song. Same Difference have been seriously good every week. Rhydian was a bit so-so, I wonder if he's peaked, or the audience is starting to go off him. Niki was off key, I thought. But she was miles better than Beverley. I still don't like Leon, I don't see the appeal at all. I'm surprised Beverley went though, even when it came to public votes, but I'm glad it wasn't Hope. I'd have preferred Leon to go instead. anemone

That's what i have been dreading. They may regret it when they have to do hundreds of AFDs for all the minor characters who will probably get their own page if there's no list to put them in.

Although I haven't had any involvement in Eastenders (and do not plan to), I have (as I noted on my comment in the AfD), had substantial contributions to issues of a similar nature on Emmerdale/Coronation Street, which of course may now also be at threat of falling victim to a similar fate as this soap's minor character articles. I do understand why some editors feel the need to make their efforts at cleaning up articles (to the point of non-existance, as I am totally against individual articles for small characters, and against excessive articles which no real value), but I feel stronger for a cleanup in the way of how they're organised and general tidying up, which is the route you are trying to take. As for moving on, it's unfortunate some editors have made you feel like that, although in most cases the most rewarding outcome from actions with your project in particular are often those you need to fight your corner on.

Iprojectors 23:11, 4 December 2007 (UTC)- Yeh, Get Johnny week was shit. Apparently Dennis was killed because Letitia Dean was due to return to EE in 2006, but her marriage broke down, so she moved to France for a year to get over it instead of returning to EE. So, in hindsight Dennis' death was pointless, but I guess at the time they had to have a plausible way for Sharon to return without Dennis. You mean losing Tom Banks and finding Dennis Rickman? I think she just forgot that Tom was meant to be the love of her life when she upgraded to the much sexier Dennis :) Gungadin♦ 23:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

A bit predictable but should be a good show [24]. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 12:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Is Niki doing an Oasis cover??? I wish she was but I guess it's the Fleetwood Mac one, covered by Eva Cassidy. Same Difference = good. The rest = meh. Although "Bridge over Troubled Water" is one of my favourite songs. I'll probably hate it after Saturday! anemone
│projectors 22:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)- Which of Niki's songs? I'm almost certain "Songbird" is the one by Eva Cassidy from her album of the same title. "One Moment in Time" is almost certainly the one by Whitney. Bridge Over Troubled Water should be good, sorry to harp on about Eva Cassidy, but have you heard her version of the song? It's amazing. Leona's version is still astonishing though. I would like to see Same Difference go tomorrow (even though I quite like them I think the final would be better with Rhydian, Leon and Niki).

I haven't heard many Eva Cassidy songs, I'm not into her. I love Hear'Say's version of "Bridge over Troubled Water" and as I said, it's one of my all-time favourite songs. Same Difference are the favourites to go but everyone I speak to still can't see the appeal of Leon and they all agree he should go next (and every week they say he should have gone and I always agree). He appears to have genu varum and always looks ashamed of himself. Not to mention that his voice and style aren't very good, and the way he moves is like he's been possessed by something. He's just strange. anemone
│projectors 12:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)- He does have genu varum now you come to mention it! For me, something clicked last week when he sang "Long and Winding Road". His inversion of some of the cadences made the performance remarkable and from the heart. I was supporting Rhydian up to that point but I think he's peaked in the competition. True, Leon was diabolical in the earlier stages — he held the mic at a weird angle and was as wooden as a plank, but he's growing substantially. I think there's more to Leon than meets the eye. Same Difference certainly have a market out there but I wouldn't want to see them win — it's a vocal talent competition at the end of the day. You can't have Leona Lewis win one year and then Same Difference the next! Niki is pretty much the opposite, with a decent enough voice but absolutely no place in the real world. I think it's gonna be one of the boys this year. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 15:09, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thingy from Doctor Who said Leon hasn't been on a long and winding road, as he wasn't feeling that song at all. It wasn't from the heart at all. None of his performances have been remarkable. Same Difference CAN win and should! There's no reason why they couldn't. I agree about Niki. I wouldn't mind Rhydian winning although I'd never buy any of his music. But Leon winning would be a disaster. anemone
│projectors 17:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)- We'll agree to disagree (on SD and Leon anyway) lol. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 17:55, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
- So who actually is your favourite? anemone
│projectors 18:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)- I'm not as crazy about any of them as much as I was Leona last year, but I guess Leon or Same Difference. I'm bored with Rhydian's operatic and camp performaces now and Niki isn't remarkable. If Same Difference went down the Scissor Sisters/glam route I think they'd have a decent niche. The cheesy kids' pop isn't my kinda thing but I can see there's a market for it. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 21:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

- Which of Niki's songs? I'm almost certain "Songbird" is the one by Eva Cassidy from her album of the same title. "One Moment in Time" is almost certainly the one by Whitney. Bridge Over Troubled Water should be good, sorry to harp on about Eva Cassidy, but have you heard her version of the song? It's amazing. Leona's version is still astonishing though. I would like to see Same Difference go tomorrow (even though I quite like them I think the final would be better with Rhydian, Leon and Niki). Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 11:59, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Glad Niki went. Ironically, she gave her best performance on her last one... at least she went out with a bang! Personally I thought the performances this week was seriously dreary! The first half was all slow funeral songs that barely had a melody. It got better in the second half but it wasn't great. What on earth was going on with those dancers during Rhydian's "Bridge Over Troubled Water"?! Leon had a pretty bad week but the public love him, as they do Same Difference. I really don't care about what Louis says at all now, he's sunk so far in my estimation that just don't care if he exists (harsh, I know). At least he won't be back for series 5. What a pathetic man, he better give SD their due in the final next week. Although, it won't make any difference because the public obviously haven't been listening to what he says about them anyway. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 22:44, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. loved the 'haha you were wrong' comment about "Go West" lol. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 22:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Do you mean Niki's last performance after being eliminated was her best? Everyone does better when they perform in the results show, it's been like that since series 2 (I didn't watch series 1). Yes the first half was very dreary, but the second half was better. Then again, only Same Difference stood out for me in the second half. Rhydian's dancers were very odd and one of them nearly fell over near the edge of the stage. I'm surprised the judges didn't mention them. How do you know Louis won't be back for series 5? I've now got to come to terms with the fact that Leon might win. My "haha you were wrong" was because someone put in Same Difference and Rhydian as singing next but it was the other way around. I protected the page for 2 hours because of the Go West thing. I don't want edit wars during the live show when I'm trying to edit every 5 minutes. Surprisingly, when I checked the article after the results, there wasn't much that needed changing or reverting! anemone
│projectors 22:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)- Lol, yeah her one in the results show was great because she made it a proper live performance by personalising it and addressing it to particular people. Louis won't be back because he said explicitly that he wouldn't return because he wanted to focus on the artists he manages... and also that he's 'not a TV-loving diva like Simon Cowell'. Also, I don't think he wants to run the risk of being sacked again... because he will. They brought him back for this series through gritted teeth because no-one wanted the job at such short notice and Cowell had to find someone QUICK to replace Friedman. I doubt Sharon will return for series 5 either because she was so determined to win this year and not even getting close she seems to have taken personally. I think she feels a bit of a side-show act with Dannii now on board and whether there's animosity between her and Dannii or not, Sharon's no longer exclusively the female panelist on the show. I can just feel that she won't want to return. Wiki edit Jonny (talk) 23:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don't want Louis back, he's not very nice sometimes. I said before I could see why he was sacked. I don't want Sharon to go too, though she said she would if she didn't win. I don't think she will go. anemone

X Factor fansites
You and I have reverted many attempts to promote some X Factor fansites. It seemed pretty clear to me they were being promoted by the creator and thus fell foul of WP:COI but that concern aside, are they actually bad links?

Hi! I was wondering if I could ask you a question about the above, which you protected from creation in September. I came across Big Brother 2008 UK while looking through New Pages, and after editing a little, tried to move it to Big Brother 2008 (UK) to be consistent with the titles of other years of the series. I don't know a lot about Big Brother, and I'm not an admin, so I'm not sure if:
- the original title needs unprotected, since the series is apparently going ahead and it would be consistent with names of other, similar articles;
- the new article needs protected/altered in some way, for the same reason as the currently protected title;
- the article should just be left as is, since the inconsistency in titles is inconsequential? (Sorry if this is a bit confused... I've just realised how late it is!) Thanks --Kateshortforbob 01:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
