Orange Range

Yeah I'll fix the navbox when I'm through. These articles are a major mess though. I mean seriously, having articles titles Love Parade orange Range is a pretty bad mistake. I don't really know the band, so I'm not going to help out too much, I'm just trying to get them to look halfway decent. Could you add some album/single infoboxes for some of the articles though? That would help.--SeizureDog 11:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Want to go ahead and perhaps work together a little and create some more stubs for the missing albums/singles? If you'll created the basic stub I could try and fill it out a little with images and such.--SeizureDog 11:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not a clue. Is there not an Orange Range fan site that would have them?--SeizureDog 12:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thinking outside the box

So you noticed. :D I just slapped it together,just to have it on my page, but thanks for fixing it. — $PЯINGrαgђ P.S. I also just now saw that you put it on your own page! :D 18:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem, look at the pages' history. I began mine on October 18, and you didn't start yours until December 2. I think you're copying me. :P — $PЯINGrαgђ 18:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An interesting edit

that I reverted—actually it's the M/N1 that runs around Dublin, not the M50. :P — $PЯINGrαgђ 18:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was embarrassing. I've always associated N1 with Dublin. In my defense, I haven't been in Dublin since I was ten months old. :) — $PЯINGrαgђ 19:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning your Admin Coaching assignments

Your name is still listed at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Volunteers. The department is heavily backlogged with student's requests for coaches, and we need your help!

If you don't currently have a student, or if you believe you can handle another one, please select a student from the request list at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Requests and contact them. See the instructions on Wikipedia:Admin coaching. Good luck.

If you are no longer available to coach, , please remove yourself from the volunteers list.

Thank you.

Hi Will, I'm sorry about the stuff you're going through. I'm... not doing well at the moment. I hope things get better for you. --Kyoko 19:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, your page isn't green either!

:P

I never have changed the colours there. But if you like, you can look at User:Springeragh/UserPage/SaintPat before I have them deleted. :P — $PЯINGrαgђ 19:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Tom pictures

The Tom picture I uploaded comes under a different file name format - Lost-Tom.jpg, whereas his was TomLost.jpg, which is not as good. Mine says what it's from and then the subject. -- Silva Storm

please, no more e-mails

Will, I asked you to give me some space, and you haven't. I'm going through a lot right now. I care about you, but your e-mail messages are only adding to my stress. My emotional resources have their limits, especially at this time. I've decided to block your e-mails, because I can't deal with them anymore. I hope things get better for you, but please don't send me more messages. Sorry. --Kyoko 17:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for moving talk page contents

Hi Will, thanks for moving my talk page contents. I've left a note with the bureaucrat who did the account name change, and hopefully he can help. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who sees "User:Kyoko (usurped)". I've covered it over for now, but I would much prefer not having the (usurped) suffix in the first place. --Kyoko 16:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Email

Why do you frequently inform users via their talk pages that you've sent them emails? They will read your emails when they are ready. I've seen at least two users complaining about it (latest) - please stop. Gary Kirk [Talk] 13:22, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You don't expect an immediate reply, yet you plaster talk pages with "I sent you an email" messages? Uh, okay. *moves on* Gary Kirk [Talk] 13:32, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Smith and Jones

Hi. I have reverted because these stories are meant to be in 2007. Tennant was talking about the Doctor's timeline - it's been some time for the Dr since he saw Rose for the last time and met Donna. But series three is clearly building to a conclusion that coincides with Torchwood, which means the last epiodes will be in early 2008, so this makes sense. Also, on-screen evidence over-rides the commentary, and on-screen evidence shows Saxon is Prime Minister in TRB but not yet in SAJ. Thanks. 172.159.136.194 02:48, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Love and Monsters contains a newspaper headline which states that the goverment is in crisis, a four-month long election is about to start and Saxon is favourite to win. So, that establishes that he is not a member of the government in LAM. The posters and news broadcast mentions make it clear that Saxon is running for Prime Minister at the time of SAJ. In TRB he orders the destruction of the Racnoss Webstar just like Harriet Jones ordered the destruction of the Sycorax ship. SAJ is clearly set before TRB and less than four months (the length of the election) after LAM. 172.159.136.194 03:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such thing as an Acting Prime Minister. Jones is merely a MP at the end of WW3. She is Prime Minister in TCI. She may or may not be Prime Minister in series 2 but we know that Saxon is not because of the newspaper in LAM. The posters in SAJ clearly look new, unlike the same poster in the Torchwood ep Captain Jack Harkness where it is clearly old looking, which shows SAJ episode is set before that. The fact is, there is ample evidence (on screen and elsewhere) to show that SAJ is set in 2007 and nothing to show it is set in 2008. 172.159.136.194 03:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have given it to you. Saxon is running for election in SAJ and has been elected in TRB. Tenant's statement refers to the Doctor's point of view. You have provided no evidence that the story is set in 2008 and the intention of the production crew is clearly that it is set in 2007 and Saxon has not yet become Prime Minister, something which is going to be built to for the end of thise series. 172.159.136.194 03:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, check out the plot summary for The Sound of Drums. Not sure what the source is but if it is right then that nails it - Smith and Jones, the Lazarus Experiment and the Sound of Drums are all set before The Runaway Bride. 172.159.136.194 03:46, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The military have defected to Saxon? You're just making stuff up now. TRB followed on from the final scene of Doomsday but that scene is several months after the Battle of Canary Wharf from Rose and the Earth's point of view and the Doctor obviously then travels back in time to a point in those few months to investigate the plasmavore.172.159.136.194 03:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well it seems that we aren't going to agree so as you say we'll have to go "status quo ante" (I had to look that up) and leave it at 2007 for the moment. We can dicuss it again if any more evidence emerges. 172.159.136.194 03:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
