Calling me a vandal is WP:AGF?

After a fairly extensive discussion at the appropriate RfC I redirected the guideline per WP:BURO and WP:CREEP. I gave sufficient notice, there was no plan for the guideline to come into compliance with other WP guidelines, the community had a spirited debate and consensus was to merge. Please discuss your assumption that I was a vandal and tell how this disputed guideline can be brought into compliance. Ursasapien (talk) 11:59, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did archive all the discussion. The pertinent information from the guideline has already been merged into two other guidelines. I am supposing you did not see the merge discussion before. Please be careful about assuming bad faith. Happy editing. Ursasapien (talk) 12:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work! I could probably dig up some more information to add, but the article certainly passes WP:EPISODE. Zagalejo^^^ 01:17, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Simpsons good night.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Simpsons good night.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bob

Sorry, I completely forgot to look at either article and I haven't had a chance to listen to the commentary (busy week). I'll do it this weekend. I'm generally not a big fan of analysis sections in fiction artices (as they tend to be a tad POVish) but the one on Sideshow Bob looks okay. I'll see if I can find something from Planet Simpson to add. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 12:11, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've decided to get the ball rolling and I've substantially improved Homer's page within a few hours, would you be able to help with that? I don't have the book Leaving Springfield, and it probably has some good stuff in it. I'll listen to the commentary tonight. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here is the very rough commentary from Some Enchanted Evening. If you need anything reiterated, then feel free to ask.

Silverman: "so off-model"

Jean: In the first scene, Marge gains and loses weight from frame to frame.

Silverman: The version on the DVD is an unedited and unperfected version.

Groening: "If this is what we were stuck with, there would have been no show"

Sorry, that's all. Would you like a screenshot of this? It's a pretty bad version that's shown (off-colour, very grainy) so it might not get the point of how bad it is across as well as if it was higher quality. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CTC Vandal

We have made a list of vandals that continually vandalizes Kill Gil: Vols. 1 & 2 by changing "Christmas" to "Crime", the list can be found here. If you revert the vandalism, i would give the warning {{subst:uw-vandalism4im|Article}} which says this is the only warning they will receive. When reporting to vandalism noticeboard link to the list of vandals, and hopefully the IP will get blocked quicker, and for a longer period of time. Ctjf83^talk 21:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Oakley

Did you read Xihix's post at WT:DOH? Bill Oakley offered to help us where he could, and we're trying to think of some things to ask him. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 19:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-English versions of The Simpsons

About your last edit, I assume the AfD you're referring to in the edit summary is Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Broadcasting of The Simpsons but as the result was delete, there's no way to know what was the content of this article, so can you please specify what do you mean when you say "this"? 16@r (talk) 23:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:The_Celebration_DVD_Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The_Celebration_DVD_Cover.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. Project FMF (talk) 18:25, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Magnetic Fields Jarre Album.jpg

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

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An Oakley update

I contacted Bill Oakley myself because Xihix has been MIA for over a week and he responded. He didn't say anything about images, but I think he would rather answer questions via e-mail rather than during an IRC chat. I told him that would be okay and that we would hopefully send him our question list within a week, so if you have any to add, please do so soon. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 01:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Simmonopoly.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Simmonopoly.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:16, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show

Hi Maitch, I was thinking of adding an analysis section to the page. There is some good stuff in Planet Simpson, but first I wanted to make sure the section would include more than one opinion. Is there anything in Leaving Springfield about the episode? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
