Thankyou

Thankyou for the edit! James Random>< Beg for an Audience

And another very heartfelt thankyou for your wonderful reworking of my edits to the article Julius Schwartz. You shuffled the info back into the article expertly and appropriately without gutting the balance I was hoping to achieve. Your effort is greatly appreciated. Sometimes those of us close to a great person are too close and can overdo a correction. I happen to be believe Julie is not given nearly as much credit as he should but there is a sensible way to note his acheievements without gushing. Thankyou thankyou thankyou.

Psych (TV series)

The picture keeps on dissapearing i was struggling to get the picture back then you came along and fixed the problem, but the same problem has come back.

Titanic

He DID have time to pose for photos. The Doctor is a little on the vain side, would he have not had a look at himself before posing? Also (I'm not sure of this, its a while since I saw it) wasn't the picture taken BEFORE boarding? We're reading a lot into what I think is probably just an oversight by scriptwriters. However, I *do* think the strong implication is that 'Rose' takes place immediately after his regeneration. When the Titanic stuff happens is open to debate, but I really don't think it happened before 'Rose'.Damiancorrigan 09:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree that we don't know when it was, Rose and possibly Jack may well have been off camera, I also accept that the 'clinging to an iceberg' thing might have been a different visit to the Titanic from the one from the photo. But I DO think it it very unlikely that it happened before 'Rose' and for him to have gone through a whole adventure without having seen a mirror. It is also implausible that out of all the evidence that the whoisdoctorwho.co.uk guy could have found, he happened to find evidence relating to the Doctor's most recent adventure. You've said before that we have to go with what is likely - it is very unlikely that the doctor would have gone through a whole adventure without having seen a mirror and for that single adventure to have cropped up in that guy's archives.Damiancorrigan 11:44, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I think if he had gone two months without a mirror, he would have said something like "at last, a mirror" in 'Rose'.

I'm afraid I only have a gmail account so am unable to join the forum. If it isn't too long, post it into my talk page. By the way - I have an interview with Titan Magazines on Monday. I don't know what magazine I'm being interviewed for, but they publish Dreamwatch... Damiancorrigan 12:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't "clinging to an iceberg" that he said it was "Ended up clanging into an Iceberg". James Random 10:40, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Who - The Idiot's Lantern (...sarcasm).

I re-watched the scene in question and I can't really see any indication that Eddie is being "supportive" of anyone. I still see dripping sarcasm. However, I don't think it's an important enough point to keep switching the article back and forth. I'm perfectly willing to "agree to disagree".

- Peace!

TARDIS

Is there a reason why you zapped all of my revisions into the bin? back when i was an unidentified IPaddress? 82.35.104.205

is what i was when i made the edits.

Honestly. As a DW fan for a very very long time, I should have known there were going to be disagreements.....but zapping somebody's revisions? totally? even wheel in space references?

thats not very nice is it hmm?

Ultimate Iron Man

I understand what you're saying. The thing is, these edits constitute your conclusions ("This is his motivation for his many acts of "philanthropy"; "this version of Stark is also written with...") and speculation ("as well as possibly his motivation for becoming a superhero)", both of which are disallowed as [[Wikipedia:No_original_research|original research].

What would work is to quote one of the writers or a character in comics him/herself, e.g., "Joe Smith, who wrote Iron Man in the early 1990s said in (cite interview source here) that such-and-such provided the motivation for Stark's philanthropy and heroics," or "Joe Smith, author of Ultimate Avengers said in (cite interview source here) that he envisioned this alternate-universe version as more of a such-and-such than his mainstream-continuity counterpart". And like that.

Thanks for giving me the chance to explain my edit. I've liked your Iron Man work. -- Tenebrae 13:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Cool! Now that's editing!-- Tenebrae 00:16, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

You should not have removed in particular the item regaring the "white dot" just because you had not seen this. Watch again. Regarding the video aspect, I will change the item to incorporate what both of us are saying. Colin99 07:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Dalekanium and Spencer Chapman!

I know that there was no reference to Dalekanium in Remembrance of the Daleks, it was referred to as Bonded Polycarbide Armour by the Seventh Doctor Himself

Wing Commander - "So we're dealing with little green men, here?" Doctor - "No, Little green blobs in Bonded Polycarbide Armour"

Spencer Chapman, as stated by Raymond Cusick in "Daleks the Early Years", was the original designer of the Dalek. While he may not have designed the Dalek as we know it today, Cusick himself states that Chapman was responsible for many of the concept drawings and the general idea of the dalek, these concepts are even shown as part of the interview with Cusick.

You may wish to verify these facts for yourself.

Editing without verification

You should not have deleted my footer about Spencer Chapman before you had taken the time to watch the interview on the VHS for yourself. The information I submitted was present and correct. Though you may have majorly contributed to this particular article, you do not own it.

Oi, Smarty-Pants

You did a good job of editing that swear-filter addendum for me. To be honest, I'm just glad you didn't delete it, but it is actually referred to as a "swear-filter" in the book by the Doctor, so it wasn't one of my own terms for it!

Hey pal!

I've started a Doctor Who Glossary of Terms and Names, but there's not much in it. It'd be really cool if you could add to it, its mostly to list relatively minor things such as Waterhive, The and such as the like, but goes on to give brief details on major things such as Daleks as well as links to their articles.

Have a look and see what you think.

James Random 15:21, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

The scope of that list was far far too large. Tim! 17:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I know

Yeah - I'm trying to make the glossary have as many obscure details as possible to avoid deletion votes, so maybe you could help out there. I'm not against anyone deleting stuff that already exists, but there isn't much info on things such as Quevvils and Toop and so on and so forth, so those are mainly the things that I'm trying to cover.

Thanks for the input, matey!

Irony in the Sontaran Experiment

Hello!

It isn't ironic that, in order to "sell" us on the clone angle, the Production staff go through the trouble of hiring the same actor for Styre that they had for Lynx , but then use so much different make-up that the actor looks completely different?

Is my definition of "ironic" that far off?

Doctor Who Doomsday Episode

Please explain why you rudely amended every part of the doomsday episode page. Many people had made contributions and the page was very good. Then you came along and deleted the whole thing, and rewrote it yourself! How rude. I am disgusted! You have even used language which some people will not even be able to understand. I urge you to think twice before completely redrafting work which many people have worked hard on. Consider others and don't be so ignorant! What right do you have? the redrafting was unnecessary and the new version is worse than it was before! Shame on you!

I see you've reverted my edits to Narbonic. It's usually preferable to discuss such edits at the very least with the parties involved or on the Talk page of the article in question.

In any case, you state that The Nice group of cartoonists is notable, though I can't find evidence to suggest such a thing. Can you create an article for the group and include your references to it so we can use an internal as opposed to external link to refer to the organization? Thank you.

Userboxes consolidation support

What's on the slab Do not use these templates yet

You have recently either supported my userbox consolidation efforts or at least applauded them. Currently, I am putting together another larger batch of userbox deletions which will have master templates. (The master templates are not "live" yet.) Would you be willing to support me in this and any future consolidations? There will probably be a lot of resistance at first to this, so having a group of people supporting me would be greatly appreciated.

At the moment, 5 master userboxes are in the works to replace 72. That may increase significantly if I can get the sixth one to work as I would like. Some of the templates to be replaced are widely used, but with the consolidated templates there is more funcitionability.

Please let me know, you can click [edit] above as this conversation is transcluded to all.

Hi Lady Aleena, as noted in an earlier discussion with you, I think consolidation is fine for thematically related userboxes. However, I also support diversity through mass customization, so I'm more inclined to support consolidations that maintain display differences in images, colors and especially wordings. That's easy enough to do with parser functions. I wish you all the best. Regards, Rfrisbie^talk 22:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

As per the two posts above, I might very likely support it but I'll determine it on a case by case basis. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 22:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't overly care too terribly much. I will say that I think having generic userboxes is a good thing from one standpoint - it helps newbies learn Wikicode. If you can't just add {{User Hokie}} to your page but instead have optional parameters like {{User Hokie|year=2001|border=maroon|major=CS}}, that's definitely a good thing.

I agree with BigDT. Userboxes with optional parameters taught me how to use Wikicode. A master template isn't a bad idea... hell, it should be like that for most userboxes. — riana_dzasta • t • c • e • 02:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Rfrisbie...have you thought about getting your Myers-Briggs templates deleted in favor of the combined one that Thadman created? That would be another 18 deleted. I did a survey of how many people were using each...

Some people have more than one of these on their user pages, so some of those are duplicates. I know that some look like a lot of people use them, but once we get people migrating from individual templates to master templates, it will get easier and easier to consolidate them. Hopefully we can keep user templates in Template space if we can show that we can police them. - LA @ 22:48, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi LA, of course, we all know they're not “my” templates. I just moved some to userspace as part of the effort to find a userbox compromise most people could live with. I wasn’t kidding when I said I support diversity in userboxes. Although I think Thadman’s userbox {{User:The Thadman/Userbox/MBTI}} is cool, it displays differently than the others – only one color scheme with a set of profile scores – and it doesn’t use categories . I don’t have any problem with it or another template designed to consolidate the existing features of the other boxes for “elegance” reasons, as long as no features are lost. However, I do not see a “need” to do it. On a web site that went from 1 million articles to over 1.25 million in about four months, I really consider the number of userbox pages to be a non-issue. I’m also not aware of any material debates on keeping userboxes in templatespace if someone polices them. Maybe you can show me a link or two on that. In this particular case, it’s even more superfluous because all personality boxes already are in userspace (User:Rfrisbie/Userboxes/Personality) and the Wikipedia directory page was deleted. [1] Rfrisbie^talk 02:08, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

See my comments on GUS on the WikiProject Userboxes talk page. - LA @ 11:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. What that shows me is that you are very well-intentioned in your efforts, your rationale for this process as a means to keep userboxes in template space is not supported by consensus, and the specific case of the Myers-Briggs templates does not apply, since they already are ugly in userspace. Sorry, I'm still not convinced of the need or consensus to do this. However, if you're still interested in combining the boxes for "efficiency," without changing the displays or categories, it's fine with me. Rfrisbie^talk 12:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately I have only gotten one reply to my initial statement. I wish that more people would comment for I really want to keep user templates in the template space. I will never use a user template in user space. - LA @ 22:37, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

LOTR

I've found a few more that may be worth consolidating: the LOTR userboxes. Luna Santin 02:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Live master user templates

I have made four of those master templates live. I will not start the TfD process on the ones they are replacing for at least a week. I want to see how well they catch on without a TfD first. However, do you think that I could slip a little note onto the to be TfDd templates noting the new master without too much censure. The message would be in the box appearing on the user pages like a TfD, but not as obtrusive. - LA @ 06:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Citations

I don't have to be more specific as you put it when I put up a citation tag, otherwise the citation tag wouldn't exist on wikipedia in the first place. When I put a citation tag on a certain section, it means the whole section lacks citation. I could put a citation needed request in just about every sentence in the article.

The 1984 TV adaptation has no citations whatsoever, and before you say it has "references", that's "further reading", not citations. It has NO citations. It would be lucky to even reach good article status at the moment, so it's quite shocking that its FA. LuciferMorgan 23:23, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

I take the points you make in the first paragraph of your reply, but it would take quite a while to add that to the facts I feel should be verified. Facts which particularly mention certain people's opinions / feelings / comments regarding the TV film should especially be cited.

As for footnotes, certain information needs to be cited, especially that which refers to an article's influence. It's up to external critics to deem an articles influence, as wikipedia isn't a place for original research. If specific critics have stated its influence, feel free to cite them. I have listed the article for a featured article review. I welcome you to address my concerns. LuciferMorgan 01:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

And what about Anti-plastic?

Banana and pocket watch appear more often then anti-plastic. And bananas are even as popular in the latest series as jelly babies in previous!

Yep, new series, right. But what about Colin Baker? He has banana in his pocket too. I've seen only one episode with him - The Two Doctors - it was there. --Ferra 14:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Danoneill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Danoneill.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use.

Iron Fist

Khaosworks I don't know if you've been following the discussion on Iron Fist Talk pages but I was wondering if you could look into it. Some folks seems to be hung up on images in a tables format. I've check most of the other comic pages and they all seem to have a bunch of covers or other images. I don't think 8 is excessive. What is your opinion?? I think the martial arts character is so unknown that having Key images is crucial for the uninitiated. I understand fair use and all of that but there really are tons of comic cover images throughout wikipedia are these 8 really jeopardizing anything?? I initially put the images in a table so they would

• A. Be at the end of the article and out of the way
• B. Tried to avoid the formatting issue that we had in Shang Chi

The user A Man In Black really seems to monopolize articles with his opinions and interpretations of the policies and guidelines and leave no room for interpretation unless they are his. What do you suggest?? Thanks FrankWilliams 15:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Who Plot Sumamries

Hi. We corresponded some time ago about the style and content of DW plot summaries, of which you know I have contrbuted quite a few. I notice that you contributed your unease on the talk page for The Daleks after the radical rewrite therein. You may have noticed I have tried to stimulate a more general debate on the general Doctor Who Project talk page before this rewrite process goes any further. If there's consensus for change, I'm happy to accept it, but at the moment I feel one person's vision is being rolled out without full debate. I'd appreciate your steer on this.

Quotation mark characters

Personally I think we should use the directional Unicode characters “ and ” (which btw are not "smart quotes", that's a word processor feature that replaces quotation marks with a "smart" algorithm), but if you're changing them you might as well do “If This Goes On—” too. —Keenan Pepper 10:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Block of Daffy Duck

While I don't want to condone Daffy's incivility, It is not a great practice to be blocking people with whom you are engaged in an editing disagreement. Get the help of another admin so that your actions are not seen as being vindictive. Had you called on me, I would have declined because of my own edit battles with Daffy. At this point, you might want to unblock him and bring it up at WP:ANB/I. -- Samuel Wantman 08:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

No, I don't want to unblock Daffy. I don't think the block is unjustified. I just think that you weaken your own position as an admin by doing the block yourself. It is very easy to post on ANB/I. By having someone else do the block it strengthens your position as an admin and gives you more authority. There are good reasons for the policy, beyond whether or not you can be fair and impartial in this situation. Perceptions are as important as the facts involved in the block. I'm not just talking about what Daffy thinks of you, but how others may percieve your actions, such as myself. No matter how justified I think your block is, now I have an image of you as perhaps being someone who might loose their calm in a frustrating situation. Looking through your block history, I don't see anything similar to this, so I'm not concerned. I just seems that if you are going to block someone for incivility, you should do it in the most well behaved manner possible, and that would be getting another admin involved. --Samuel Wantman 09:29, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I'm glad you have taken my comments exactly as I meant them to be taken. I don't want to belabor this, and I think you have addressed my concerns. Going to ANB/I is not just paying homage to the process. In our discussion, the process still was followed (except that I am probably not an un-biased editor in regards to Daffy). Following the process would probably have been a more efficient use of both of our efforts. -- Samuel Wantman 19:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Move of The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve

Hi, I moved The Massacre of St Bartholomew’s Eve to The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve. You reverted that with the comment "rv move to use non-unicode character". Yes, of course. But: Why? Do you think the correct title would be with that non-unicode character in this case or do you think it would be correct with the unicode character but unicode characters shouldn't be used? --Tobias Schmidbauer 11:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Who - The Face of Boe and Beholders

unnecessary comparison, and not to mention the only resemblance is that it's a head. He bears more resemblance to Futurama's heads in jars

Unnecessary comparison perhaps, but he has a fair amount in common with a Beholder. The Face has head-tentacles with strange blobby bits on the ends of them; they certainly have a resemblance to the Beholder's eyestalks. I'd say they have more in common than not; he's got one more (main) eye than they have and he's a nicer bloke.

But you know, fair enough. I just thought you were a bit off in saying there's no resemblance. Kelvingreen 15:35, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

New New New New New New New ... York

Wondering why you removed this from the list of fictional cities - in the episode, the Doctor specifies that this is the correct name of the city they visit on New Earth. Adambrowne666 22:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, he doesn't say it's the "correct" name: he says that it's called "New New York", but that technically, it should be "New New New..." etc. because it's the fifteenth one. Later on, the police announce themselves as the "New New York" police department, so the longer name is not what the "correct" name is. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough - what if I added it parenthetically to the New New York entry? - I reckon it's notable enough for at least a little aside like that. Adambrowne666 00:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Stargate (device)

Just curious - in the quote "pull[ing] out of a simulated bombing run in an F-16 at eight plus gees", why is there brackets around the [ing]?

Logos

Using logos on a template where they do not directly illustrate the article is not a necessary use of Fair Use media as covered by our guidelines.

Isolus

Thanks for trying to be flexible. I understand you have more experience on both the topic and Wikipedia editing in general, but why assume the Isolus will only appear in the one episode? Wouldn't it be smart to have the Isolus section in the actual aliens page? Right now it is good, but if they appear in another episode then reediting is going to be necessary. 1) Redirecting a Isolus search directly to the "Fear Her" episode will have to be removed, 2) moving the Isolus info from the "Fear Her" episode to the alien page if not it's own page will have to be done, and 3) like you mentioned earlier, multiple screenshots on a Doctor Who episode page is not preferable to the community. I won't touch the articles anymore, but I think it is better to do everything proper the first time rather than later. --Evmore 05:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Doctor Who episode breaks

I've now read the style guide, which doesn't explain why such an arbitrary choice was made, and because it was arbitrary I disagree with it. Simply scattering horizontal rules through the plot summary carries no intrinsic meaning, and I'll wager the majority of casual readers will have no idea why they're there, as I did not. Users of Wikipedia shouldn't have to read the style guide — which is intended for project members and editors, not the general reading public — in order to understand your article layout. As for "cluttering up the COT", that's ridiculous. Organizing the elements of the plot in such a way that they can be accessed separately as needed from an outline (which is what the COT is) is just that, organizing it, not "cluttering it up". A finely branched and properly organized outline is a more useful research tool than one consisting solely of major subtopics, and to suggest otherwise implies a basic lack of understanding of outlines and their purpose. If you're not interested in subdividing the plot summary by episode, then there should be no distinction between episodes; the use of horizontal rules — especially since elsewhere in Wikipedia (and in typography and pagination in general) they're used to designate breaks between subtopics, not breaks within subtopics — simply confuses the issue. I won't attempt to correct any of your project articles again, rest assured; I have no interest in turf battles defending arbitrary rules, no pun intended. --Canonblack 10:12, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

In response to your message: "As stated in my edit summary, a person's age cannot be said to be "Not applicable".

Your edits are in violation of WP:MOS when it comes to headers.

I Am Not a Vandal 1. Sorry for the confusion. I finally got a response from the help desk. I am not a vandal. I had no idea at all how to reply or see the talk page. I received your message, but was completely unaware of how to reply back. I also was unaware that there was a method for explaining my revisions on the edit summary. I now see that under the edit.

2. Your belligerence is unappreciated. You could have messaged me, and explained clearly the proper way to message you back, and how to use the edit summary feature. Thankfully, there was a good person from the help desk to let me know how to respond to your message. I am not here to be disruptive. All of us here are working very hard to make this article the best it can be. Please refrain from presumptions about our intentions. They are not appreciated. It is much easier to say, “I will assume that your are purposely being disruptive and I will block you accordingly”. This is attitude is far more easier than actually taking the time to understand the situation of others. It is easier than taking the time to help them understand how to use this interface. Simply assume they are a vandal, and block them makes life a lot easier.

I myself have contributed a great deal of time and effort to provide accurate and legible information on this page only to be turned around and accused of intentionally falsifying or destroying it. Much of the work on this page was created through my time and effort for the sake of providing thorough information about the subject for the users that browse it. Wikipedia is for users and supported by users through our donations to keep a good encyclopedia free for everybody. Your threats and belligerence are not the way to treat people.

Taking time and effort to understand the position of others is how to make this a better place. This place should not be about belligerence, assumptions, closed mindedness, and prejudice conclusions. It is a place where people can share information in a friendly and respectful manner. Objectivity and open minded. Taking the time to understand and assist see the point of view for others. Not hostile and presumptuous. It is not right to accuse people of being a vandal and “assume” they are vandals when there is no proof or evidence for it. The proof has to be beyond reasonable doubt. That is what reasonable doubt is about. It is what being reasonable means. Assuming based on prejudgments and presumptions is not what being reasonable is about. You have to investigate and understand for sure if a person is intentionally vandalizing by showing them how to respond properly. Instead you make an assumption. The assumption is incorrect. And the results are disastrous. I hope somebody does this to you so you can know how it feels to be accused of something that you are not. Jumping to conclusions about people is abuse. There is no justification for this attitude.

Users put a lot of time and effort to put correct information on this page. We are not here in anyway to be disruptive. You and all of us are here for the same reason. To create an informative page with true and accurate information. The assumptions and hostility might work great for you, but there are better ways to handle situation.

3. I did not know that there was a proper standard for those headers that I changed. I will try to fit the title correctly in my edits.

4. You are right about my misuse of the word origination. I will make efforts to correct this as well. I am not perfect, and I appreciate all corrections to my mistakes.

5. Peter’s powers are not Mimicry until the show itself confirms it.

A. Anything up until the airtime of a series can be changed, and therefore, is considered unconfirmed. Once it appears on the series, it is confirmed and no longer disputable. Until the show itself reveals Peter’s power is Mimicry, his powers are up for speculation. Please do not be belligerent. All of us here can come to agreements about our differences peacefully without fighting over edits. You cannot claim Peter’s power to be Mimicry until the show itself reveals it.

B. Spoilers are intended for those who have already seen the show. A person sees the spoiler warning. If they have already seen the episodes, they might not want to see spoilers that give away episodes that have already aired. They might think that it is safe to view past the spoiler warning because they have already seen the episode. Then they see spoilers that had not yet even been featured in the show. It is easy to blame them for the mistake, but we must take at least some responsibility in ensuring we are not spoiling future shows with the information. Only spoiling current shows that have already aired.

A spoiler means that if you have already seen it, it is safe to view. If not you have not seen it, the show will be spoiled. If we put spoilers for future episodes that nobody has ever seen because it is impossible for them to see into the future, it is not fair to them. If they have seen the episodes that have aired, they should have no problem going to reading the article without any future shows to be ruined.

Our choice is to either: -Omit anything that has not aired yet as unconfirmed because anything can be changed, and therefore not fully confirmed material for an encyclopedia. -Change the spoiler warning to warn the viewers of this show that there will be spoilers for episodes that have not aired.

6. I did not know about the words salaryman and camwhore. Thank you for correcting them. Please do not be belligerent. I appreciate honest corrections when I am in the wrong.

7. >30 is not a valid age. I found out through research that Nathan is actually 41.

9. My edit was changed 2 seconds after I posted it. Nobody even read it. They just automatically assumed that the whole thing was bad, and replaced it. This is what I mean by unreasonable and ill-mannered behavior. These people do not know how to conduct themselves like adults. Using assumptions to accuse people of vandalism, and refusing to read and understand the points of views of others. This behavior shows what world we are living in.

Heroes

I am still learning how to use the talk page. I have only seen the Heroes "talk page" for the first time 1 minute ago. It is not even listed under "talk", but under "discussion".

I was being accused by you that I was not stating the reasons why I made the edits, and so appeared to be a vandal which I am not. Your accusation was not only incorrect, but unreasonable. And I did state my reasons. Only, I stated them in the edits. Everytime I made an edit, I stated why I believed they were sound within the arrow "" brackets.

People were reediting, but I wondered why nobody stated a reason. I now know they have probably responded within the talk page that I now see.

I got Nathan's age from the age of the actor. Just like the ages of all the rest of the characters, I used the age of the actual actor which is 41. The fact is that all of their ages are unknown as characters. I do not know who wrote in the ages of the rest of the characters, but I was the one that wrote Micah's age at 10 based on the same reasoning.

As for Peter's powers, accurate information must be provided. The reference was noted, but his powers are not official until the show airs, Anything referenced can always be changed between now and airtime. Therefore, the reference might say his powers are Mimicry, but they might turn out to be something else when the show finally airs. Decisions made on an interview that was done over a month ago can easily be be changed and updated There is a possibility that he might be revealed to have a different power when the show airs.

Shows do this all the time. I can even give you an example of even this show doing a last minute switch. The actor that played Mohinder's father, Chandra, in Episode 3 is not the same actor that played Chandra in the commercial. I can only speculate that the show received a larger budget, and went with a more reputable actor at the last minute.

Peter's powers can be anything by the time the show airs. Once the show reveals his powers, his powers are official. There is no more changing them without changing the story. Until then, whatever the interview stated anout his powers can be changed at any moment. You cannot claim Peter’s power to be Mimicry until the show itself reveals it.

NOTE: "A. Anything up until the airtime of a series can be changed, and therefore, is considered unconfirmed. Once it appears on the series, it is confirmed and no longer disputable. Until the show itself reveals Peter’s power is Mimicry, his powers are up for speculation. Please do not be belligerent.

Our choice is to either: -Omit anything that has not aired yet as unconfirmed because anything can be changed, and therefore not fully confirmed material for an encyclopedia. -Change the spoiler warning to warn the viewers of this show that there will be spoilers for episodes that have not aired."

Wold Newton Wikia

Hi. Saw your suggestion about a Wold Newton wikia, and thought it was an excellent one. I'm currently uploading a bunch of files trees to the WNU Yahoo Group, and may mention the idea there. Please drop me a note. Thanks! Icarus 23 06:56, 16 October 2006 (UTC) (I Jaked Andrew Levine! -- heh-heh! 9-})

What about a soft block?

You unblocked this IP because "collateral damage - myself", but could you implement a soft block (I think that means they'll have to login to edit)? There's been one blatant vandal edit after the unblock. TransUtopian 19:39, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

No problem re: not being here all the time. :) Re: "Soft blocks don't always work because the "recently used IP" autoblock can also kick in.", admins/you can't switch off that part of the autoblock when soft blocking? TransUtopian 14:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Anti-Catholic remarks!

This is getting really pathetic. Why are you sending these extremely abusive comments? How on earth did you get my email address? It must be you because you're the only person who discussed the doomsday issue with me. I received 3 more anti-catholic emails today! this is very upsetting, please stop!

i know you can see my messages. This is pure cowardice if you refuse to respond. clearly you are guilty —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Supreme (talk • contribs)
