Speedy deletion of Paula's Best Dishes

A tag has been placed on Paula's Best Dishes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thanks for the edits, but the statement about wearing leather was already sourced:[1]. I don't think that YouTube video is a reliable source, and you need to avoid overlinking. Fences and windows (talk) 22:25, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Bert and Ernie

Please do not remove the gay wedding picture again. Wikipedia isn't here to "not confuse children". There is a sourced statement about the rumor of Bert and Ernie being gay, and this picture fits along with that. CTJF83Talk 03:17, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry!

I forgot to notify you when I placed the speedy delete template on that article. I know you're just trying to help, but we don't put latest episode summaries on wikipedia. Hope you understand! Lychosis ^T/C 17:37, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Moved page

Done, it's now at Yvonne DeLaRosa. See Help:Moving a page for how it was done. It might help your editing to have a look through some of the policies at Help:Contents, particularly Wikipedia:Five pillars and Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Happy editing!

Image

Per WP:MOSIMAGE, you shouldn't really set a size parameter, because it doesn't appear the same for every reader, especially unregistered ones. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't realize that you had moved it at all. I thought someone else had done it awhile ago. I haven't really viewed the page in awhile, and since the image is really only relevant to the Production section and that was next to the infobox I knew it had to be moved for the image not to clash with the infobox. BTW, you don't have to create a new section on my talk page every time you respond, you can just respond in the first one you created. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I've not made or edited any template messages, but see Help:Template and WP:TEMPLATE. But templates for most possible uses exist already at Wikipedia:Template messages. Fences and windows (talk) 18:14, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Nightmare on Street

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:55, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Nightmare on Street

A tag has been placed on Nightmare on Street, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. T3chl0v3r (talk) 22:36, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Freddy Krueger has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Boracay Bill (talk) 02:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

A Nightmare on Elm Street

I have redirected your page for two reasons. The first is that we do not capitalize "Film" in the title of an article. The second is because all of the info for the upcoming film is already at A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)#Future. Per WP:NFF the production of a future film must be notable for it to have its own page. We know nothing about the "production" of this film yet, because they haven't released anything. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Um, I'm not wrong. The only thing released about the movie is the casting and the two schools they plan to film in. That is not "production". BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:46, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I think Bignole is correct, a new page for it can't be created yet. But, that shouldn't stop you from creating it in your userspace. I think I moved your latest version to User:I Seek To Help & Repair!/A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 film) -- keep it updated until production starts and put a note on some of the Freddy Kruger movie talk pages that they should receive a new link to your article when production starts on the movie. At that time, one of us or you can move your article out into the main Wikipedia space. I'm sorry the article can't be put into the main Wiki space just yet, that seemed like a lot of work, but I can see the sense in the WP:NFF policy. I hope this helps -- let me know if I can do anything else. :) Banaticus (talk) 03:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I never said the film wasn't coming out, I said that until the production itself is notable we don't need a page for it. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 03:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

May 2009

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Wes Craven's New Nightmare, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Banaticus (talk) 02:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Please stop adding disambiguation links to the top of every Freddy Kruger movie then deleting them, thanks. If you'd like some help, please let me know at my talk page. Banaticus (talk) 02:45, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 film). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 03:09, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

A Nightmare on Elm Street (Pictures)

Hi, I just wonder what the intent of this article is? At the moment it seems to serve no encyclopedic purpose. decltype (talk) 10:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I see, unfortunately, because the images are non-free, this is not an acceptable use. I have tagged the page for speedy deletion per criterion A3. decltype (talk) 10:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Non-free images can be used on Wikipedia in certain circumstances, covered by the non-free content criteria. Simply put, this is to ensure that if Wikimedia were to be sued for copyright infringement, they can use fair use as a defence. It's complicated, but in general if there is an article that discusses the movie, it's usually ok to use some images from the movie in that article.

Hi there!

It looks to me like when you added Jewel (singer) you may have inadvertently removed the previous top entry, Kristinia DeBarge?

Cool, glad I wasn't seeing things! I would have re-added it myself, but I wasn't sure if it was deliberate (it's late here, and my brane knot wurking propurlee).

I made a promise recently that I'd start archiving my talk page when it hit the magic 100 posts mark - I'm a few over that now so I guess it time to start evaluating different archival bots...

Hehe, I got sidetracked and forgot to add the logo to the page you requested. I'll do that now... Also, for future reference... people usually don't want people deleting stuff from their talk pages on Wikipedia. I couldn't care a less really, but some people really like archiving their discussions for future reference... so I just wanted to warn you before someone else yells at you. Have a great day :) _{TKGD2007|TALK} 00:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Nightmare

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but one or more redirects you created, such as with A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 film)), have been considered disruptive and/or malicious, and have been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Why did you do this? Your edit summaries are not helping me out: "(made temporary hard to find)" What does this mean? Moving creates nonnessecasry redirects. I have marked that page and it's talk page for speedy deletion. T3chl0v3r (talk) 21:43, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Moving pages

Please do not move anymore pages until you completely understand what you are doing. If you have a question, please ask someone, instead of moving a page a dozen times till you think it's the right one (which, it wasn't). Also, nothing has changed with the Nightmare remake, so there is still no reason to have a page for it. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Please read WP:NFF, again. We have discussed this already, and the consensus was to keep the page redirected until it meets WP:NFF. Nothing has changed since that last discussion, but you ignored consensus and moved your sandbox over the redirects.

The franchise article currently has more information, better sourced, and better organized than the sandbox you moved into the mainspace. All reliably sourced casting is listed there already. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Reference Page

I userfied the multi-reference page you created at the mainspace and put it here. Articles on the mainspace don't need separate pages for references, you can include them on the article itself. Icestorm815 • Talk 02:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Did you look at the link I mentioned? Part of the article says, "He was by my side when I was diagnosed with cancer and prayed me through it.

Disambiguation guidelines

Hi Repairman,

It's good to see that you're interested in disambiguation pages. Me too! It's not a common interest. You may want to review WP:MOSDAB; I've found it really helpful in trying to determine the proper format of disambiguation pages I'm creating and cleaning up. I've been editing disambiguation pages for a long time, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I enjoy discussing them!

Happy editing,

Neelix (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

See Response

Hi Repairman,

This guideline should answer your question about disambiguation page titles. To paraphrase, the disambiguator "(disambiguation)" should only be used when there is a primary topic. Because no entry on the Red eye disambiguation page has been identified as primary, the disambiguator is not used. If, for instance, the medical concept was considered the primary meaning of "red eye", then that article would be located at Red eye and the disambiguation page would include the disambiguator "(disambiguation)" in the title. In no case should a disambiguation page include "(disambiguation)" in the title and have the term being disambiguated redirect to the disambiguation page. As for the table of contents, if it were to be removed, the best way would be to use "_ _ N O T O C _ _" (without the spaces) rather than changing the heading format. There is no guideline stating that disambiguation pages should not have tables of content. In fact, the opposite is suggested by WP:MOSDAB, as it states that long disambiguation pages should move the table of contents to the right side rather than leaving it on the left, which, by implication, would be the standard practice on shorter disambiguation pages.

Please don't feel like I'm rejecting your ideas. If you feel that the guidelines should be changed, start a discussion on the WP:MOSDAB talk page. All guidelines governing disambiguation pages on WP:MOSDAB, and they are all open for discussion.

Happy editing,

Neelix (talk) 02:52, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is { { copyedit } } without the spaces. More here: Wikipedia:Template_messages/Cleanup. I forgot to reply about your tables question.

Speedy Deletion

I have nominated your Vincent van Gogh article for Speedy Deletion. It is in violation of numerous editing standards including this: [2] All the images should be no larger that 180px, with the exception of a lead image - 300px. Each image must have explanatory text and the article itself needs a reason to exist. It is superfluous at the present....Modernist (talk) 05:19, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I saw that you're working on an article on the work of Van Gogh. Why not work on improving the existing article, List of works by Vincent van Gogh? Fences and windows (talk) 23:55, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

I would also suggest that you re-work List of works by Vincent van Gogh and combine it with your recent efforts. Here are two examples of list articles that work well: [3] and [4]....Modernist (talk) 11:44, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Incomplete pages

Stub templates are one way to indicate an article isn't finished. WP:Template messages/maintenance has templates if the page is under construction, WP:Template_messages/General#Expansion_requests and WP:Template_messages/Cleanup#Expand_and_add have templates to flag up the need for expansion.

Lullaby (Jewel album)

Hi! There's a move discussion going on about moving Lullaby (Jewel album) to Lullaby (album). Just thought you'd be interested since you were the one who moved it back last time :) Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 08:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the same thing is happening at Andy Griffith (actor) and Lullaby (music). By the way, I agree with all three moves. If you'd like to hear my view on unnecessary disambiguation, drop me a message at my talk page. If you prefer to discuss it at the articles' talk pages, I'm fine with that too :) Jafeluv (talk) 08:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation

Hi, it's me again! I think the disambiguation thing was the result of a misunderstanding. As I explained here, it's just the cases when there's no primary topic that the disambiguation page is named something other than "xxx (disambiguation)". Feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's not clear from my explanation. Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 14:50, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem :) Jafeluv (talk) 14:54, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Move discussion

Oops, I see you're right. I just assumed that there's no other album by that name since Lullaby (album) already redirected there. I've changed my position accordingly. Jafeluv (talk) 15:56, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Single use templates

Please stop creating these single-use templates in templatespace to advertise move discussions. It would be better just to create the template in a sandbox subpage of your userspace and then subst it onto the pages when you are seeking opinions. –xeno ^talk 00:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, I've already cleaned them all up and either moved them into your userspace or deleted them when there already existed standard templates for the purpose (i.e. {{requested move}}).

Well, you made a new one since then - I just moved Template:User:I Seek To Help & Repair!/Survey Opinion Need Specific to User:I Seek To Help & Repair!/Survey Opinion Need Specific. Note that in the second case it is not prefixed by "Template:". This is the ideal location (your userspace, rather than templatespace). –xeno ^talk 02:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject User Rehab

Would you be interested in joining this project? We need more editors who share a burden for rescuing promising editors who have gotten into serious trouble because of behavioral issues. IF (a fundamental condition!) they are interested in reforming and adapting to our standards of conduct, and are also willing to abide by our policies and guidelines, rather than constantly subverting them, we can offer to help them return to Wikipedia as constructive editors. Right now many if not most users who have been banned are still active here, but they are here as socks or anonymous IPs who may or may not be constructive. We should offer them a proper way to return. If you think this is a good idea, please join us. Abce2|AccessDenied 04:36, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

Thanks for the invite! I do think it's a good idea (a lot of my time on Wikipedia is spent dealing with various sock puppeteers), however I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge just yet! I'd like to spend more time here, and possibly get involved with mentoring or adopting new editors, before mentoring "challenging" editors. I'll start lurking at WP:WikiProject User Rehab, however, and don't be too surprised if I change my mind and get more involved.

Talk:Lullaby (Jewel album) move request

I have deleted this page, as it appears the same debate, along with the edit history, already appear at Talk:Lullaby (Jewel album). This was mostly a cleanup delete: if you have a purpose for it, I have no problem undeleting it. Happy editing! -Running On Brains 18:12, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Shouldn't id-s be removed and border-s either removed or made 1? Debresser (talk) 03:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I removed id-s and that indeed had no effect whatsoever. If you don't specify a border-s, you should also just throw it out. "Black" for sure isn't a valid parameter there. Debresser (talk) 03:05, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Actually, throwing it out will activate a default value of 1. So will have to be border-s=0. Debresser (talk) 03:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

BTW, you may have noticed that I've used it on my talkpage, with a different text. I've also just info-s=10 (instead of 12) and 45px (instead of 50) to conform to the standard. Debresser (talk) 03:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Then I went back to 50px because I liked it better i nthis case. :) Debresser (talk) 23:42, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Spoiler Alert template

A tag has been placed on Template:Spoiler alert requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. travisl (talk) 07:24, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the vagueness. The prior template was Template:Spoiler, and the discussion was at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_November_8#Template:Spoiler. I don't remember exactly what the previous template said (I can't see deleted templates), but it was very similar in purpose to Template:Spoiler alert. See also Wikipedia:Spoiler warning/RfC travisl (talk) 14:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm

Is the example so much more useful when it's example.com as opposed to example.org? The reason the user tried to change it to .org is because "example.com" is what is added when you click the "External link" on the toolbar. Thus, to find possible test edits, people search for links to example.com.

The reason they changed example.com to example.org is so that your archive doesn't show up in a search of pages needing cleanup of example text [5]. Keeping it in there makes it harder for these people to do their work. –xeno ^talk 19:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Whatever, even though I incredibly disagree..... I Seek To Help & Repair! (talk) 19:42, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

My point is that it would be helpful for you to change it to example.org, as a courtesy to editors who watch for these stray example texts. I'm not going to push the issue. –xeno ^talk 19:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, not going to push the issue, because you already have, whatever, I reversed it to .org anyway. I Seek To Help & Repair! (talk) 20:07, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 05:04, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Your comment on my talk page

I am unfamiliar with the article in question, and with the quality of Comcast's Spyware detection (and whether it reports false positives), so I am probably not the person to ask. Phil Sandifer (talk) 05:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Ditto. I'd raise it at Wikipedia talk:Graphic Lab. Fences and windows (talk) 14:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Bitch move survey

Hi, and thanks for your answer regarding the Bitch move survey! You're right that some of the page views of the page may come from the recent move discussion. Furthermore, some may come from the fact that a reader looking for, say, Bitch (band) will first type in "bitch" and then find the page s/he's looking for via hatnote. However, even taking these facts into consideration, I'm certain that the page views support my view that the insult should be primary topic. The insult gets 39k views, and the second most popular page on the list (Bitch (Meredith Brooks song)) only gets 3k views, which means the insult gets about 13 times the amount of views than any other topic on the dab page. For me, that's a clear primary topic, don't you agree?

To make sure it's not just the attention gained from the move discussion, I'm presenting the page view statistics from last month. The move was proposed on May 14, so it doesn't affect the page views of April. Here they are:

Bitch: 54164 views link
Bitch (Meredith Brooks song): 4304 views link
Bitch (magazine): 2579 views link
Bitch (band): 1432 views link
Bitch (short story): 1101 views link
Bitch (performer): 779 views link
Bitch (Rolling Stones song): 637 views link

The insult article gets about 12.5 times the views of the next most popular article (Bitch (Meredith Brooks song)). As I said, I view this as clearly the primary topic. Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 09:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of MorphThing

A tag has been placed on MorphThing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

Nightmare

We've had this discussion before. No new information has come out to warrant a new page. There info is all nicely sitting on the franchise page. Your edits, though good faith, are becoming disruptive because it appears like you are intentionally just waiting a couple of weeks and then intentionally reverting the page back. Until this film meets WP:NFF, which means it must meet WP:GNG, then it doesn't warrant a page. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

First, they can update the franchise page. It's that simple. When there is actual production info to be related, then we can talk. Right now, there isn't. Casting isn't production, that's pre-production. Locations is location, and doesn't say anything about what's actually going on. Writing is something we need. Filming (like filming styles, discussing changes to how a character is filmed in this film as compared to the original) is another that we need. We don't have that, because they aren't talking about it. This movie won't be out for another year, which means there is a long time of waiting and we probably won't get any real information for a few months. There is no need to have a page that literally copy and pastes the same info from the franchise sitting around for 2 months with nothing new. We aren't going to ignore WP:NFF simply because you don't like the location of the info. Other films have to follow that guideline, so this one does too. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

If you plan on adding plot summaries (which is what I assume you were referring to when you said "info") then we have a different adjust for the template that is used. The reason being, you should have the same color header for the episode data (writer, director, title, airdate) for each entry. It would look more like Smallville (season 1). Look at how that template does that. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

With the plot summaries in there, you don't need two different contrasts to separate the episodes. The plot summaries act as a natural separating, so they can all be the same color. BTW, some of these are reading very familiar, like from a website that I was on. If you are getting these from another location, please remember to summarize what is said, and not simply copy and paste (if that's the case). Otherwise, good luck and have fun adding the plot summaries...the page needed them. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

We do not report on "leaked" photos, because that means we're reporting on stolen information. Secondly, we do not make personal observations on photos (i.e. Freddy is wearing a polo shirt and fedora). When I said we are not a news organization what I was referring to was putting in information we're going to delete later because it isn't relevant to the historical preservation of the article. A year from now we will not care that there was a shot of Haley in a polo shirt pre-burn. We are not Shock Till You Drop, we're not a film entertainment website that posts updates on films. We're an encyclopedia. Yes, we get information when it immediately comes out, but that information is stuff that will continue to be in the article for as long as the article exists. The stuff about the school's pool is relevant now and will be relevant a year from now. The fact that there were some "leaked" photos isn't relevant to Wikipedia now or later. As for the other created article, they did not do anything but copy and paste the info from the franchise article. They have nothing knew. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

RFA

I notice that you've created an RFA nomination here. Are you aware that the nomination is yet to be transcluded onto the main RFA page? If not, you may find it necessary to do so. Good luck! Greg Tyler ^{(t • c)} 17:57, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

If you edit here, you'll see instructions of where and how to transclude. If you're still not sure and you'd like me to, I can do it for you. Greg Tyler ^{(t • c)} 22:10, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I strongly suggest you withdraw. With just 6 weeks of experience your RfA will not pass... generally 6 months is considered the minimum to even contemplate a run. Please take a look at WP:NOTNOW---I'm Spartacus! ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 23:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I echo I'm Spartacus! and suggest withdrawing. You have been on Wikipedia under this username for just barely over a month, and very few (if any) editors are going to see that as an indication that you have the experience to understand and use the admin tools. I recommend waiting a good while (at least several more months) while gaining experience in the various areas related to the admin tools. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:25, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I withdrew your RfA per WP:NOTNOW. Do not be disheartened; many of our finest admins have failed their first RfAs. Please follow the advice of those commenting and try again after 6 months to a year of active editing. Very best, and feel free to contact me if you need anything.

Replaceable fair use Image:BillSchulz.PNG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:BillSchulz.PNG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 10:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Userification of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

Hello,

I appreciate that you were trying to help out a new user by userifing this article for him, but in the future you really shouldn't copy and paste as a full edit history is required by the terms of the GFDL. You should have either actually moved the article using the move button, or preferably just assured the author that his contributions were still in the article's history: [6] and could easily be restored when the film met our inclusion criteria. See also this thread on the subject. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 03:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

The responsible for the GAR wasn't much clear, only on "numerous gramatical and stylistic errors" and that I couldn't do it alone. Take a look at the article and see what needs improvement.

Freddy

Technically, it doesn't meet WP:FUC on Freddy's page either. Non-free images require critical commentary about them specifically, and there is non on the glove (any of the gloves for that matter). Why don't I edit Freddy, mainly because I'm in the middle of rewriting the whole page to be more like Jason and Michael, so I don't really both "fixing" or "correcting" something I know will eventually be changed anyway. Right now, that page violates half a dozen policies and guidelines. There's just too much to fix, that I'd rather wait till I have time to finish the new page and just swap them out. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Appreciate it. I have a book, and the DVD commentaries..I've just been busy with the Smallville pages and Jason and Michael (the latter isn't finished either). Plus, I've been trying (ever so slowly) to finish the Friday the 13th page. You'll notice on the real page I've had to go ahead and start putting stuff in because I got tired of people adding unsourced, irrelevant stuff. But the one that's on the mainspace is no where near as complete as the one in my sandbox. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:29, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

The rationale isn't so much the problem as the actual page. The section the image appears in needs to have text describing the glove, describing why the glove was changed, etc... from reliable sources. That is why WP:FUC and WP:NONFREE refer to when they say "critical commentary". At this time, I wouldn't worry about it. If someone hasn't removed the other images, they aren't going to remove that one. Now, hopefully, I'll be able to (one day) find info on what went into making the original and what went into making the new glove and then use an image of the old and the new together. Until then... BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:35, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

That's actually on one of the DVDs, so, if it's used then we need to cite the DVD and the feature on the DVD it appears under. We cannot cite YouTube (who is currently illegally broadcasting that clip). I also have the Nightmare Encyclopedia DVD, so whenever I get around to watching that it should be good info. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

To the first, YouTube can never be used. If you see TV clips on there then they are there against copyright and thus illegal. Wikipedia cannot promote anything illegal. Also, if the clip is deleted, as often happens on YouTube, then the source is gone. If you are citing a Leave it to Beaver episode, and using the YouTube clip, then just cite the episode itself. LITB isn't out of print or anything, so it can easily be sourced by viewing the episode on DVD.

To the second, the "In mass media" is separated for two reasons. 1) I always separate out individual states until I'm ready to weave them into coherent prose. That's why you'll see on the Friday the 13th sandbox that some of it is prose and some of it is still bulleted out. This helps me to gather my thoughts before I start blending sentences to find the best way to say something. 2) I also do that when I don't have sources for something, and in this case there isn't a source for any of that information, and so I want to remind myself to find a source for it or drop it completely if I can't. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 03:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

ANIghtmareOnElmStreetFilms.com is not the studio, and thus it is illegal for them to post clips from a DVD they do not own the copyright to. That website is an independent company, it's not New Line. If you look at the disclaimer at the bottom left of their webpage, they indicate that they are not intending to infringe on the rights of New Line with their posts. That's cool, but we still cannot cite YouTube. Their personal website is good for finding info, but we really need to find more reliable sources that talk about what that website has (e.g., They list X-merchandise, so we should try and find a third-party reliable source that discusses merchandise-X). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, you shouldn't have created it first. You should have gone to the WikiProject to find out who would be interested in starting a task force. If it's just 2 people (you and myself) then there isn't enough editors to support a task force. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

You can, but you also need to put a notification on the Horror WikiProject talk page requesting the task force. You cannot create a task force for another project without them knowing about it ahead of time. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 03:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I think the original was better, because you get more of a sense of the sweater's color, whereas the current one you have the sweater looks like it's black. That's why I didn't choose that particular version from the same website before. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Appears green to me? Saying "green and red" but with it appearing to be black and red doesn't help the situation. This one might be better at showing the green, or one of these: 1, 2. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Pages are not created, or kept, simply because people choose to ignore our policies and guidelines. Otherwise, the same theory could be applied to the idea that if someone continuously adds unsourced trivia to pages that we should eventually just let it be because it's never going to stop. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes. It's 99% the same as the franchise section. Adding a designer's name, or an actor's opinion thoughts on what the plot will be doesn't constitute production information. The film is a year away. The same issues existed for the new Friday the 13th and Halloween II. F13 didn't get a full article until about 7 months before release, and this is how much we had before when we created the page. Halloween II was only created about 2 months ago, and this is what we had for it. There probably will not be enough info for Nightmare to warrant a page for another 2 or 3 months...unless they just start flooding us with info here in the coming weeks.

Re:Freddy Krueger Copyright

So, each one is adds to the article in a way that words could not? All of them add to an understanding of the article subject in a very significant way? It's not about the number of images used- articles do not have a certain number of images they are "allowed" to have- it's about whether each one truly is needed. J Milburn (talk) 23:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

If the change in his appearance is truly important. Is there sourced discussion of the change? Different styles of makeup, what critics thought, etc? J Milburn (talk) 23:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Discussion in the article prose? J Milburn (talk) 23:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure how this is ambiguous. I mean sourced discussion in the article prose concerning his change in appearance. For instance (made up on the spot, I've not seen the films) "Critics responded positively to the change in appearance, which focussed more on the supernatural nature, taking Krueger further away from his human form. The change was achieved in part due to heavier makeup, whcih was said to take up to three hours to apply, and in part due to heavier use of special effects." See what I'm saying? J Milburn (talk) 23:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm still not convinced. What's the purpose of this image, for instance? It just decorates an unrelated section about a supposed suicide attempt- nothing is mentioned about proms, promotional pics or how the characters look. J Milburn (talk) 09:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

If it's not important, remove it. What's the purpose of the Dream Demons image? The Dream Demons are mentioned only in passing, and what they look like seems unimportant to fully understanding the character of Freddy Krueger. The image of the baby seems completely unimportant- again, the baby is mentioned only very briefly, and how it looks is not important. What is the purpose of File:Freddy vs jason promo.jpg? Freddy's appearance in that film is not discussed at all, though the film itself is. I can see the purpose for the New Nightmare Freddy, but what about his claw? The claws are not discussed, the image seems superfluous (esecially as you can see the claw on the Freddy image). Also, looking at those images, I'm a little concerned about the use of the non-free images, often without rationales, on related pages. If you don't want me to come knocking on them, I reccomend you clean out unneeded uses there. Also, I reccomend you tie the captions of any remaining images to the prose- for instance, for the New Nightmare Freddy, instead of "Freddy Krueger from Wes Craven's New Nightmare.", something like "Krueger's appearance in this film is more in line with what Craven had imagined for the character originally". J Milburn (talk) 09:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

No issue with the description pages, the issue is explained- what are the images illustrating? Why are they needed? (We'll focus on this article at this time.) J Milburn (talk) 09:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Further, I don't think the issue is with my explanations, it's with your understanding. When you failed for so long to understand what was meant by "discussion" of the images... J Milburn (talk) 09:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

An explanation of the importance on the description pages would be nice, but, right now, I'd like you to explain the importance to me, to give me a reason not to just remove them right now. J Milburn (talk) 10:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, we are agreed on the main picture, and on the New Nightmare picture. First of all, the claw. Simply stating that it is important does not make it so. If it is so important, how come it is not discussed in the main prose? Further, why is an additional image needed, when the claw is already shown on the image of Krueger himself? Seems a pretty clear violation of minimal use- two images are used, when one suffices. The Freddy vs. Jason pic- what is it actually illustrating? Again, simply claiming it's informative doesn't make it so. I can't see what it is illustrating, or what it adds to the article. The baby picture- if you feel it should be removed, please remove it. A discussion about its use on other pages can be had, but there's no need to leave it lying around on this one. J Milburn (talk) 10:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

The claw is shown on the Freddy picture. Why is that not enough? J Milburn (talk) 10:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

No, I mean in File:Freddy Krueger New Nightmare.JPG. J Milburn (talk) 10:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

The point remains that the change in the claw is hardly mentioned- the use of a whole non-free image to illustrate it is overkill. J Milburn (talk) 10:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Infobox

Fictional isn't needed. The fact that it isn't linked to indicates that it isn't referring to the real Springwood. Jackie Earl actually shouldn't be listed at all until the film actually comes out. The section is for "Appearances" and to claim that title the film needs to be released. Who said he was German? Caucasian isn't "American", see Caucasian race. Also, the fact that he kills a multitude of people in a single outing makes him a mass murderer. If he killed one or two people over time, then he'd be a serial killer, but he kills too many in single spurts to be classified as such. Mass murderers don't have to stop after one mass killing, it just defines the number of people they kill in each event. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 01:46, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, the page should be "Freddy Krueger..... In the original film, the character is known only as "Fred Krueger". "Freddy" didn't come about till the sequels, but it's the most commonly known name (hence why the article is titled that). This "Frederick Charles..." stuff is purely fan trivia. He isn't known by that name outside of a single film, that's it. It's always "Fred" or "Freddy". My assumption is that because of his last name that it is assumed he has German...but that's not established in the films (as far as I know) nor is it relevant to understanding the character any. The reason "Caucasian" is listed is because it's associated with being "White", and with his burned face you technically cannot assume he's white be appearances alone. I cleaned up the Ash infobox. As for the claw stuff, I can try. I've been busy trying to finish the reception section on The Last House on the Left, but I can watch the development of the section as you work on it and assist where you need. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:13, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't know, because I don't go to the IMDb page. Since that page is user submitted, it could be that the person that did the Wikiquote page also did the IMDb page.

Your GA reviews

Hi there! I noticed you have done a lot of GA reviews lately, which is great, but are you sure you are reviewing each article thoroughly enough? Seven reviews in an hour seems like a lot. The nominee should be carefully checked against WP:WIAGA criteria before being passed. Also, while not mandatory, I think it's a good idea to leave concrete suggestions for improvement if the article does not pass muster. Regards, decltype (talk) 06:40, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll have a look. I just think it's important that we try to maintain quality and treat the nominee fairly by giving a thorough review. However, I am not a very experienced reviewer, so I have started a discussion at WT:GAN, where a lot of good reviewers hang out. You may want to join the discussion there. Regards, decltype (talk) 06:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Lois

Thanks for the GA review. You've been going hog wild on those things lately it appears. To me, it looks like you're showing a lot of initiative in trying to gain that experience for potential adminship (I saw when you were declined). That's good. GA reviews are good and all, but I would suggest venturing over to the WP:AfDs and reviewing articles for deletion and giving your opinion on those. Admins are the ones that determine consensus of AfD discussions (might want to review WP:DELETION and WP:CONSENSUS as well), so that's an important piece of the puzzle. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea what you are talking about. The only time I have ever been anything other than cordial with you is when I have to repeatedly go back to the Nightmare remake issue with you. You have never once gone to the franchise talk page and asked "Is this info good enough to separate the page on its own", or anything of the sort. You have ignored just about everything I have said with regard to that film page, and repeatedly just recreated it (in various titles) without consulting anyone to every see if it was ready. There comes a point when being bold becomes disruptive to the encyclopedia. Other than that, that's the only thing I can think of that you have done that has made me address you in anything other than a friendly tone.

The infobox information should be pertinent in understanding the character, per WP:WAF. If I remove stuff it's because it is generally irrelevant to understanding the character on a basic level. The infobox needs to be to the point, and not contain extraneous details that are better left to other parts of the article. I believe that I have worked well with you when the issue of the infobox picture came up, even supplying possible alternatives that we could use and allowing you to choose from them. I feel like I always thoroughly explain my edits/reverts/deletions with you when I do them.

Hell, I even rushed to thank you for reviewing an article I put up for GA immediately after I saw you had reviewed it (something I don't have to do), and noticing your edits lately I commended your effort to be proactive in gaining more experience and even offered you a tip on other aspects to focus on that is often brought up in an Admin nomination (i.e. when I said you should look at the policy on Deletion and take part in some more AfDs.). In my above comment: "To me, it looks like you're showing a lot of initiative in trying to gain that experience for potential adminship (I saw when you were declined). That's good." -- You'll note that I clearly say "That's good", meaning I think it's good that you are trying to gain more experience for potential adminship. Now, if you find all of this hostile, I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I'll just mind my own edits and not bother to clarify anything anymore...so as to not create potential future misunderstandings.

Sources

We cannot use that fansite as a source. If they say, "According to ...." then you need to click on the source they are getting it from and cite that one. In this case, we should be using The Times and not ANightmareOnElmStreetMovie.com. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead and make the request for the other page to be deleted so we can move the sandbox over. Now that I've cleaned up the page, it's looking nicer than I thought it could at this particular time. It probably still doesn't warrant a page to itself because of its size, but it's pretty organized and has good sources so I'm willing to back off my original stance and support the separation. :D BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:04, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

The Nightmare remake doesn't necessarily need to be mentioned on the 1984 page, except to put a hatnote at the top that says "This is for the 1984 film, for the upcoming 2010 remake see ...." As for The Birds. Just create a section entitled, "Remake", at the bottom of the page, below all of the stuff directly pertaining to the original film. As far as I've heard, there currently isn't a film being made for The Birds. They want to make one, but apparently they are having trouble actually coming up with an original script for the film. As such, they may never actually make the movie. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:56, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Freddy

Serial killer should be removed outright and replaced with "mass murderer" where relevant. The lead only needs citations when there is something particularly controversial, as there should not be anything in the lead paragraphs that isn't in the body of the article (and thus, it's cited in the body of the article). Fictional wouldn't need to be cited anywhere, because it's obvious he is fictional. You'd have a hard time debating otherwise. The same goes for having appeared in all of the films, you can simply watch the film to verify that. Supernatural is a characterization, and should be cited when used in the body of the article. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Mass murderer isn't in the lead paragraphs, to my knowledge. As for when to "just watch the film to verify", that's typically for objective information. As pointed, there seems to be issues with serial killer and mass murderer that would constitute a reliable source characterizing Freddy as such. I don't need a source to say his sweater is green and red, because it's obvious from watching the movie and only someone colorblind would dispute such a claim. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

He is a "fictional character". A fictional character is one who is not real. Freddy is not real. A fictional fictional character is a fictional character within a fictional universe. For instance, Itchy and Scratchy are fictional characters within the fictional setting of The Simpsons. To say "he's a character" is vague, because there are different types of characters.

If that guy wants Freddy as his dad, more power to him. I doubt it would be a healthy relationship. As for your question about List of A Nightmare on Elm Street films cast members, yes, they are generally allowed. I would personally model the page after List of Harry Potter films cast members, because it's a featured list. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Most of the references are for the upcoming films, because they haven't been released yet. Some of them, for the ones that have been released, are because a character was either incorrectly credited or the actor was not credited at all. The IMDb stuff really shouldn't be there, I would just cite the movies themselves because you can just view the credits to see all that's in there. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

GA Reviews

Hi there. Concerning your recent GA reviews; recently you reviewed several articles within a short time and put them all on hold. As a general rule of thumb, this allows editors one week to improve the articles per the suggestions of your review.

Freddy Krueger

Thanks for putting up the "citation". I was the unintentionally anonymous editor that pulled the demon spam down to begin with. It still wasn't neccessary to cite something to support a non-emperical statement, but you went the extra mile on that and did what the Bignole should have done if he so disagreed.

Apologies

I left an unsigned comment on your page yesterday. This was a technical error on my part. I still thank you though for doing what someone else was too lazy to do in the first place. -- JSAtkinson 06:17, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

My comments

Allow me to clear these events up real quick. I don't particularly appreciate being insulted for no reason, especially when I have had no contact with said person originally, and when I was doing exactly what I should have done with regard to unsourced information. I also do not need to be told that my comments were unnecessarily abrasive. I've been in since 2005, I know when I'm being abrasive and in that particular instance I was intentionally being that way. When people come to my talk page and leave me insulting comments about my actions, or try and "coach" me, I take that as baiting me to respond back so that they can "coach" me more. When you intentionally use my quoted words against me, in what I look at as sarcastic remarks, that, to me, is trollish behavior. It's very simple. Yes, I was a bit rude to him, and fighting fire with fire isn't the right way to go about things, but that's my personality. The other thing is, I was right with that particular edit, and I don't appreciate it when people insult me because of that. It's as simple as that. There's an expression of "never poke a sleeping bear". In reality, Joseph never should have come to my talk page in the first place. He had no busy harassing me about putting a single citation tag in an article. I would have assumed that you of all people would have taken the initiative to "coach" the editor who is rarely editing (yes, I noticed that myself, and I didn't need or appreciate a play-by-play on how to determine his edit count) on how to go about addressing personal concerns with other editors. As a future admin, I'd like to hope that you would recognize who probably needed more coaching in this scenario. The person who's been here for 4 years, was not having a day where his patience were full, or the person who rarely comes here and apparently does not completely comprehend the policies and guidelines regarding editing, tagging, and sourcing information in articles. I think that addressing me as if I was a child, or that this was my first day here, while at the same time buddying up with the user that started the incident by being sarcastic and harassing me about something really minor (which I'm sure you read originally), was the not professional, ethical, or appreciated. If this is the type of authority I'd have to look forward to from a future admin, then I'll have to make sure I pay closer attention to Admin Nominations. I personally expected more from you, but I guess now I know what to expect. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Actions

There is a difference between coming to me and saying, "I'm not sure if you're having a bad day or something, but you kind of bit the new guy. I think you may have been able to handle yourself better with regard to his comment." Instead, you came to me and not only tell me what I was doing wrong, but to also condescendingly point out every step I should take going from determining his edit count to even making sure a page I link to isn't a double redirect. You decided to fall victim to the same fire by fire approach that I did, and that was to be as rude to me as I was to him. It wasn't "childish", I'm in my right to remove edits I see fit from my page. Kind of like you just did with my previous edit. It must be the day of hypocrisies. It is nice to see that you haven't addressed your own actions with the user, and how you have yet to actually point out their behavior in this incident. Thank you for proving my point from earlier. I don't need this particularly brand of admin-hopeful authority, and trust me if I see how you are favoring some editors over others then I'm sure others see that as well. From now on, I'll go about my edits and you go about yours. Cheers. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Elipses

When you directly quote someone you are not allowed to change their wording or structure. If you do, whatever you do needs to be placed inside of brackets. For instance, if a quote says "him", but the rest of the quote doesn't identify who "him" is, then you would put [Person's name], to indicate that you've added something to the quote. Since the original Englund quote is far too long, and I had to trim stuff out, I had to put 3 elipses inside of the brackets to indicate that there is information that was taken out of the quote.

If you undo something that has already been undone it doesn't show up because the action already took place. It doesn't indicate that it already took place, it just pretends to save it like normal. If you see vandalism, then you undo it and you do not see your name in the history (assuming of course the note of "There is 336 seconds of server lag" isn't at the top of the page), then assume that someone else must have done it before you.

Also, it's alright to drop the "A" in A Nightmare on Elm Street when it does not fit grammatically. In essence, the title is listed as "Nightmare on Elm Street, A" when you catelog, and so when the "A" interrupts the sentence you can drop it in favor of just "Nightmare on Elm Street". BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Grammatically you can, because it isn't a quote. It isn't someone's own words you're quoting. Grammatically, dropping the "A" is fine, and correct. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 03:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

They are a fansite, and fansites are generally not considered "reliable". If they conduct their own interview, and post that, then sure. If they are just posting stuff from other sources (e.g., Fangoria, LA Times, etc.) then always go to the original source (which you obviously know, because I saw you change one of the sources to its original a few days ago). The only active, official website for any horror movie that I'm aware of is Halloweenmovies.com, because that is owned by the Akkads (who produce the Halloween movies). New Line/Warner Bros. typically creates a general film website that may or may not post production info. Since this is a Platinum Dunes film, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller often will post stuff on their personal website. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think anyone has said she was Nancy's mom. I've read speculation from people saying they'd like to see her in that role, but nothing (not even scooper reports, which we cannot use) saying she would be. I'm not sure, based on the Google searches I just did, if they've indicated who either of those actors are playing. One could be Freddy's wife, or mom and dad.

Re: Twinkle

Hi Scarce, I only needed 2 sub-pages deleted (in future, I'll make sure sub-pages have their final name from the beginning!) - also I'm using IE7, so I can't use Twinkle anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though, much appreciated. PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 07:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for help

Thanks for helping me get Twinkle to work, although I'm not sure how I got it to work. Kotiwalo (talk) 08:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:34, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
