Golden Goose

He's a guy who looks just like Bob, has the same powers as Bob, and the picture attatched to the comic IS of Bob, but its not Bob?--CyberGhostface (talk) 04:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

This is ridicilous. Its not like the guy's face is shrouded in shadow or its a flashback. Its clearly Bob. The related pages on wikipedia have all made reference to this issue as Bob, the heroes wiki has made reference to it being Bob. Its clearly Bob.--CyberGhostface (talk) 04:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Do you want me to take a picture of Bob from the comic and compare it with Bob from the tv show?--CyberGhostface (talk) 04:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

So if I were to go through the archives of comicbook, look up each one, and if the character is not explicitly identified as such I can remove the name? For example, if there's an issue about Claire doing something that Claire would obviously do but she's NOT referred to as Claire, I should assume that its Sylar and thus remove her name?--CyberGhostface (talk) 04:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm bringing this up at WP:HEROES. Until a consensus is reached, I would appreciate if you didn't revert the Bob Bishop mention.--CyberGhostface (talk) 04:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

You've violated 3RR as well.--CyberGhostface (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Heroes OR claim

greetings...your recently edit on the heroes main page is currently being discussed on the talk page. it would be great if you came to the talk page to state your opinion and feelings as to why that information was removed. thanks...i hope you come and discuss.--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 22:18, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Spinach

HI there. I went back and followed the Sylar/ Spinach debate after noticing that you deleted the reference I made. Sorry I didn't pick up on the debate earlier. However, I would like to point out that I don't see clear consensus regarding the issue. Although it's true that you and one other individual have argued for delete, and the original author "gave up" (which is not the same as agreement) there is a subsequent comment that opposes the delete. I think that the discussion should remain open for a while longer; I've added my comments. Thanks--Pgagnon999 (talk) 23:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't know about actual real-time, but there's a lot of editing tools that can be found at WP:TOOL. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Heroes

I am a little confused about your comments on the Heroes talk page. do you disagree?--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 19:40, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

For the second and last time, I opened Miss Sweden section, so how can it be vandalism when I delete som useless information? Azores —Preceding comment was added at 23:02, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

peer review

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality!

Votes and Opinions

You are allowed to just say "keep" or "delete" on the Articles for Deletion page, and many people do. It is kinda rude to criticize people for not wanting to explain themselves. Maybe they cannot vocalize how they feel but want it known which side they are leaning to. Furthermore, having a "vote" is part of Wikipedia, because it is consensus, and if a lot of people lean one way but don't have an argument, they are showing that there is a consensus to that way without having to make some case for it. Ottava Rima (talk) 16:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Instead of having me check out links, you should read them yourself, especially - "Consensus is an inherent part of the wiki process. Consensus is typically reached as a natural product of the editing process; generally someone makes a change or addition to a page, and then everyone who reads the page has an opportunity to either leave the page as it is or change it. In essence, silence implies consent if there is adequate exposure to the community." from the Consensus page. Silence implies consent. They did not have an argument, but they were not going to be silent. They could be agreeing with all the other arguments above. Deletion pages are primarily there to build a consensus, and this "silence" rule would apply. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe that you are hung up on the word poll. Having one person mention Keep without giving their justification makes not a poll. The above applies in that situation. It is no different than people agreeing with other people. It is a useful tool, as Wikipedia even says, to find out what the population thinks. Thus, it is not your right to harass people about their choice. If an admin wishes to chastise, then they can go ahead and do such. AfDs are also not an appropriate place to correct people on the rules, and next time, please take it to their talk page, so AGF and let some Admin deal with it. Chances are, its someone who feels strongly but does not have anything to actually add. Wikipedia is not an elite place where only those with passionate speeches are given any kind of say. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I believe that I have had my say, and I will not continue pressing the issue. I do not want to be uncivil, but only to speak for those who might be left with no one to speak on their behalf. Ottava Rima (talk) 17:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Template:Did you know/Next update|Did you know/Next update

The clearing of it that Wizardman did is required for it, please do not revert it, I reverted you. ~ Dreamy ^§ 14:14, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Don't forget that you should only rollback edits that are clearly vandalism. Somethings that look like it are really good faith edits. ~ Dreamy ^§ 14:19, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Just remember to check the history of a page next time. ~ Dreamy ^§ 14:22, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I can see why you may have interpreted it as vandalism, but based on how fast you rv'd it it's pretty obvious nothing was checked regarding it. I could've done the edit summary better, but still. Not a big deal, but make sure to assume good faith next time. Wizardman 14:26, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

All models are PS1 backwards compatible. You are getting mixed up with PS2 backwards compatibility. Frvernchanezzz (talk) 10:00, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

It's ok man, I forgive you :) Frvernchanezzz (talk) 10:03, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Revert note

yeah, sorry about that one, I'm not really sure what happened, it seemed off but then after I reverted it I got an edit conflict and so on... I kinda just left it after I couldn't figure out what I was reverting. THe chunky milk guy was making things difficult to figure out. CredoFromStart ^talk 05:17, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hellgate London

What, specifically needs to be cited in the novels section? Based on your earlier edits to the section (such as where you added that Leah is "discovered to be a Hunter") it seems that you have read the novels, so you should know the information is correct. So what needs citing? 72.79.209.226 (talk) 14:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, as I said, we know that the information is from the novels themselves. I'm not sure how to properly cite it in this case, so I guess the tag will stay for the time being. 72.79.209.226 (talk) 14:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Non-free Media on Custom Userbox

Hello. I am here to ask you to remove the userbox and userbox template from your user subpages with the following images: Image:ArkLogo 2.png and Image:Rock Band Icons.svg. I ask you because the use of non-free media on userpages and userboxes are not permitted as it is only allowed to be used on Wikipedia article pages. For more information please take your time and view Wikipedia's ninth policy on non-free images on Wikipedia's Non-free content guideline. If these are not removed in several days, it will be removed without future warning. Reorion (talk) 22:19, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Missed it!

Darn! You beat me [1] by a second! Oh well. Thanks for editing! —Scouter Sig 15:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Removal of images

Please do not remove images from Wikipedia articles like you did on The Forever War (comics). Wikipedia has no policy that requires removal of images just because they are from foreign language versions. By removing them without replacing them with something of at least equal quality you also make the articles less informative without any need - especially in such an instance where the art, and not the text is the main element. Ingolfson (talk) 07:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Could you please edit out the ebay photo tag in the lower right corner. Thanks. Ingolfson (talk) 09:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
