Jesse James

[edit]

I'm curious as to why you moved the Jesse James page to Jesse James (outlaw) and made a disambiguation page from the plain James name. There is already a disambiguation page at Jesse James (disambiguation) that's been in existence for 3 years and is noted at the relevant pages already. The Jesse James page has been viewed over 121000 times in September 2009 alone, and 1483731 times in 2009. Jesse G. James was only viewed 63360 in September 2009 - almost 2:1 in favor of the outlaw, clearly the primary use. Had you broached this on the talk page, these points would have been noted, without ending up having 2 separate disambiguation pages. I've requested a revert of that move. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:23, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware of that and I apoligize. It just seems that Jesse G. James page may be so unpopular because the page may not be as easily found, due to the fact that not many people are aware that his middle initial is "G."(myself included). When I typed in "Jesse James" I only found an outlaw (not the disambiguation page), and unfortunatley it currently appears as though many people favor pop-culture as opposed to historical figures. I'm a fan of Jesse G. James myself and was surprised that he did not pop up immediately because he is a notable celebrity. Once again, sorry, and thanks. Wikiguy09 (talk) 04:49, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's no big deal. I guess disambiguation links aren't real effective if they don't help people easily disambiguate between articles that can have the same name. But as always, it's a good idea to discuss major changes beforehand.--Cúchullain t/c 14:32, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Real World articles

[edit]

Please do not add material to articles without citing a valid, reliable source, or add your own personal analyses or interpretations to articles, as you did with this edit to The Real World: Cancun, and this edit to The Real World: Sydney. All material added to articles must be supported by a reliable, verifiable source, and must not include the personal viewpoints of editors, as indicated by the WP:V, WP:NOR and WP:NPOV policies. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 06:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Wikiguy. Great job on all your work on the RW articles. Listen, I notice that you seem to have a good working knowledge of Tables or least the ones we use in the RW season articles. Would you happen to know how to add a column to the Season Table in the main article, so that I could add the number of episodes for each season? Let me know. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 20:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. I'd be happy to help you out with that table, just tell me where you would like the number of episodes column to be located on the table. Wikiguy09 (talk) 20:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't really matter. To the right of "Years Aired", I guess.
Also, can you remember to include the citation information when adding sources to articles? I've noticed you not including them a few times recently. Thanks! :-) Nightscream (talk) 08:30, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Sorry to ask again, but while I'm very glad to see you adding all those episode runs on the season articles (I wasn't aware there was a source for them anywhere), you didn't cite, as a source, the link that you mentioned for them in your edit Summaries. This is required by WP:V/WP:NOR/WP:CS, etc. Can you add them? Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 21:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you should double check those episode numbers. I'm guessing you saw the top of the London list here, and added the number 23 to the article based on that season finale, but if you scroll down to that MTV page, this is because the season premiere, for some odd reason, is numbered "02", meaning that there are 22 episodes in the season, not 23. I fixed that one bit of info in the London article, though. Nightscream (talk) 21:13, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops! Looks like I was mistaken. The London episode list has one numbered "02" and another numbered "2". (Geez, who the hell numbered these things?) Sorry about that. Nightscream (talk) 21:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from That '70s Show. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Marcus Qwertyus (signs his posts) 20:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did add my reasoning behind the edits on the discussion page, I must have forgotten to do the edit summary. Wikiguy09 (talk) 20:19, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Samantha

[edit]

Hi, Wikiguy, we've got to find some way to come to terms on the marriage issue. I left in your edit ("ending their union"), not because I wanted to, but because I felt a little bad about removing some variation of it so many times. Why do you feel the need to comment on the legal repercussions of what happened? If the show said that the marriage to Hyde was void or illegal or unenforceable or whatever other legal word you might be able to think of, it would be different, but the truth is we find out she's been married before, Samantha leaves the show, and we're done. The description on Wikipedia should describe the events without any speculation, no matter how obvious it might seem to you, as to the effect of what happened. It wasn't necessary on the show, and it's inappropriate in the article. Why is it so important to you?--Bbb23 (talk) 14:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to create an arguement about it, I didn't even realize that you kept removing it, I just thought people were rewording it and leaving it out. Actually, Donna mentions that it's state law that she can't be married to 2 people at once, so Hyde and her's marriage is off. (or something to that effect). I just put it in there because it talks about Hyde and Jackie's relationship ending so I figured that it would be important to add that his and Samantha's relationship ended as well (so the viewer knows that he didn't stay married). It's just a detail that needed clarification in my opinion.Wikiguy09 (talk) 23:24, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I thought you knew I kept removing it. Doesn't matter. According to twiztv, Donna says: "So…if she was married to him, before she married you, then you guys aren't even legally married. Which means this is freakin' hilarious!" We can't use twiztv as a source because of copyright problems (plus it's a horrible website). I added a paraphrase about Donna's comment. That way, at least it's not our legal conclusion. Let me know what you think.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:51, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good! As long as the episode name is referenced it should be fine.Wikiguy09 (talk) 00:34, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're making me work. :-) I added the citation to the episode.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Survey Invite

[edit]

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=eYcEJhpD4guKGZT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_3w6tMlk3JBtAmPj&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 20:54, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
