Re

Yeah I saw your discussion with Maitch, anyway I tend not to use the ratings in my episode articles. For example my FA doesn't include them, and the same goes for some of my GAs. I don;t know what anyone else plans to do, but I won't be using them much, if at all again, but certainly not in an FA. Gran2 06:00, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some Help

Know that the TV episode debate is over I would like to ask to know the what to type to specify that lack of nobility of a TV episode, because right now I am finding a lack of nobility with the episode pages of the current Ninja Turtles series due to both lack of plot summary on a lot of the pages and the creation of a very similar style of characters that are in the episode from the official TMNT website. If you go to those episode and look for an external link in that episode then you should know what I am talking about. -Adv193 19:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mare-Silverus keeps moving this page to Charley Davidson (Biker Mice from Mars) when it's redundant, as there is only one character/person with this name. Could you please try to stop him? The Prince of Darkness 12:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Future film

There's a film called 'Repossession Mambo' that has all the criteria in place, but there doesn't seem to be any development history. Do you think it's appropriate to create a film article with one citation? —Erik (talkcontrib) - 03:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transformers

According to their website IMDB does in fact go "through a large number of consistency checks to ensure it's as accurate and reliable as possible." I also believe that they are "regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand." So, I believe you are wrong in removing content referencing IMDB.com as a source. I will also continue to add my content to the entry as long as you continue to remove it. BoPo 00:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Are you policing everything that gets added to the Transformer Film entry? Or just specific things? Why would you not only remove Digital Domain from the article, but also remove the mention of ILM? Do you have something against the specific mention of visual effects houses?BoPo 23:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are incorrect in stating that I am deleting information from this article. I am simply restroring the correct information to the article.
There is basis for the claim that Keith David is no longer voicing barricade. The only source for this claim is message board which is not reliable. IMDB and all the other outlets still list David as Barricade.
Had you bothered to actually investigate this instead of just automatically reverting me you would have found this out for yourself. annoynmous 01:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


So wait I'm confused, IMDB isn't reliable but a message board is. Wikipedia is also user contributed. I assumed that to make a claim one had to have hard evidence. IMDB is a much more reliable source than a Message board and if you ask me until it is confirmed, the more credible source should be shown. annoynmous 01:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


The source that is listed is not a website, it's a message board. If erik has a link to an official cast list than let him post it, but I don't we should just take his word for it that the cast list is right.
Yes IMDB makes errors, but as the release date for a film gets nearer those errors pretty much dissapear. Usually when the film gets out of the post-production phase you can pretty much assume that casting has been locked down.
I reiterate my point that IMDB is much more reliable than a message board which has no independent confirmation. Until some hard evidence comes along to contradict David being in the movie the article should list him as the voice of Barricade. User:annoynmous:annoynmous 01:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Where are the sources for this. You have not provided one bit of evidence to support your claims. As far as I know David has always been Barricade and was only until Alientraveller decided to change it based on some posting on a message board.
If your not going to head my concerns than I suggest that as a compromise the voice of Barricade be left blank until it is officially confirmed annoynmous 02:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bumblebee does not talk.Stop being a fucking retard.HE DOES NOT TALK.EVERYBODY KNOWS BUT U.BAY EVEN SAID HIMSELF.

Will then dont say Mark is voiceing bb.Next time say that the songs in his radio r Mark

Casino Royale

Even you must be thinking the whole FA nomination has been too long now. Its a disaster ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 15:00, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can't you see how the first nomination was a clear majority and even second time there appears to be more support than oppose. The whole thing was manipulated by Mr. featured article master himself who has the power to choose which articles he wants promoted or not. I thought we had "referencing problems" sorted? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 15:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Its a shame though. Anyway all the film articles are gradually getting better!!! Hope you are well ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 15:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't checked the Bond articles for severla weeks as I am very busy with other tasks but they are starting to take shape. For me the weakest film article now is Diamonds Are Forever (film). ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 15:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've now expanded Diamonds Are Forever (film). Later I'll try to add a full reaction/reception . Then it can all be copy edited and whatever at a later date -the info is there it just needs putting in proper order and re sentencing- I'm sure you'll agree it is looking better than earlier though ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 16:51, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deleted scenes from Superman movies.

Yeah i could use some help from you not only recovering info on the deleted scenes from the Superman movies, but also i thought we can add them to the articles as well to make them as accurate as possible. Some of these deleted scenes dont seem to be mentioned such as the scene in Superman 4 where he visits the cemetary to see both parents graves.It's worth mentioning since these scenes are not included in the deleted scnes section of the delux edition.[1]

I dont know how to go aobut this but seeing your a good Superman contributer I think you're the best editor to consult.

Look forward to hearing from you on this.Regards-Vmrgrsergr 02:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I agree with most of what you have said.No I am not discouraged as I think what you say is right.And yes adding minor/extra details is indeed unecnyclopediac.The reason i brought up un-mentioned scenes like the cemetary scene in Superman 4 is they were never shown in the DVD or theatrical release (btw i saw Superman 4 in the theatre in 1989 i think in my country as kid and it included some of the deleted scenes as seen in the DVD). However going to the Star Wars articles like you mentioned there is mention of change.maybe we can add in the article of Superman four section of deleted scenes that not all scenes made it to the deleted scenes section of the Delux edition DVD and use the cemetary scene as an example (btw I saw it on mentioned on many forums by fans;gone unfortunately but there was lots of talk on the cemetary scene.).In the meantime I will take a look at the featured articles examples you provided. But I would like to discuss how we can approach this in an encyclopediac way.I brought it up on the talkpage of Superman 4.let's discuss it further there.

Regards.-Vmrgrsergr 06:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS-oh yes I own the delux edition of Superman 4 on DVD.I had 3 as well but traded that one at blockbuster.The delux editions were released in the boxed set and also indivudually, which is how I bought it as.I checked the deleted scnes hoping to find the cemetary scene but found nothing on it except on some forums and the link i provided you with.-Vmrgrsergr 06:45, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Writers and original research

I sent an e-mail to one of the writers of the Chainsaw comic asking a question and he sent me a response. I'd like to include the information in one of the articles but I'm not sure if that counts as original research. Is there any way to cite e-mails like that?--CyberGhostface 15:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would making a screenshot of the e-mail be suitable enough?--CyberGhostface 15:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I'll try doing that. Thanks.--CyberGhostface 15:35, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well I was told by another user that it wasn't a reliable source, that it counted as original research and that he "STRONGLY" reccomended I keep it off the article. Its a shame, as it was the answer to whether or not Hoyt was alive in the comics.--CyberGhostface 22:11, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the help. I might send another message to the writer later asking him if he can publish it somehow but I don't want to do it now because I've already sent him a couple of messages.--CyberGhostface 02:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't get me wrong; I was busy two days ago. Activity has tapered off since... I'm feeling like a cubicle drone these days. Might need to re-evaluate my life goals, haha.

Well, one crippling effect of the gig is that I don't have access to Google services. Thus, I can't access RSS feeds on Google Reader or Google Alerts in Gmail. So I can't be productive or contribute to Wikipedia as much.

Oh, I'm so sorry! You are quite right, I clicked the wrong name and didn't take enough care. My most humble apologies. I've removed the above warning. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 22:02, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I must have made a real mess of that particular pair of warnings, then! Thanks for reporting him — I reported a user before but ended up somehow not filling out a full report (so no action was taken against the user, but the page was protected at least).

Nope. WP:PPOL states that when protecting a page, administrators should not revert to any prior state. « ANIMUM » 22:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think blocking Cyber is best now. He was already given a warning, and upon that ceased to even edit the article in the time that CJK proceded to revert with another editor and it was finally protected. I don'tk now, it just comes off like we slapped his wrists once, and then decided he needed the belt instead.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 23:12, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've unblocked him. At issue here is (from WP:3RR) In the cases where multiple editors violate the rule, administrators should treat all sides equally. However, CJK has been disruptive in other ways (and violated 3RR on another article), so this is not really unbalanced. In fact, since CJK got a twenty-four hour block as well, the unblock here probably makes things more fair. -- tariqabjotu 01:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Batman

Sorry, didn't mean to provoke anyone. Didn't think it would since your original content for the article was focussed on the Burton/Schumacher series which I gave its own article. I'm sure everyone will agree to the change anyway. A gx7 04:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Matthew Fenton

Hey, just wanted to warn you that fighting with Matthew Fenton may be hazardous to your health. The admins around here tend to take his side, especially when he's in the wrong, simply because he's only 14 or 15 years old. He's also been known to have good Wikians blocked permanently because they refuse to jump whenever he or his pal Will "Sceptre" Nobel yell "frog". I suggest checking out the history of Sixty Six's talk page - you have to look at the history and see the last few changes, as Scepter and one of his other admin buddies purged and locked the pages out of spite. I'm not saying you should give up the fight, but make sure you've got admins that will back you up when the time comes. Nobody knows why they keep defending them as if they've done nothing wrong, but if you go through their talk page archives, it's pretty obvious they're causing far more harm to Wikipedia than they should be allowed to. Good luck! 24.173.10.197 23:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who on earth is Matthew Fenton? I see to recall a User:Matthew reverting a alteration I tried to make with the main actor template and was quite rude about it but I am certianly not fighting with anyone -I'd forgotten about it - I couldn't care less about arguing with somebody/ Who is he and why on earth would anyone ever think of blocking me? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 23:12, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Batman

Sorry about the add. I was under the impression that this was the official released poster for "The Dark Knight". Hope no one was offended.

Re: Batman

Thats what I had thought at first, but i did see the poster on Heath Ledger's website. I also saw it used on multiple websites as the poster for "The Dark Knight". The website for "The Dark Knight" doesn't give much of anything anyway.

All hail Xenu

I didn't see it before it was added to Wikipedia, but it's an interesting turn to this production. I was expecting some controversy since it was going to deal with Hitler (with Cruise in the lead, no less), but I didn't realize the distaste for his Scientology was this bad. Should be interesting to see what kind of fair and balanced coverage editors of both opinions will want; something akin to the disputed state of 300, I suppose. Additionally, I haven't really had the time to touch my RSS feeds or Google Alerts for the past few days, so I have a serious backlog of news to add (if it hasn't been added already). I need to fix the Google Alerts in some cases to come in once a week 'cause I get bombarded everyday with redundant reports, like for The Dark Knight or The Incredible Hulk. Maybe I'll catch up tonight... —Erik (talkcontrib) - 11:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think Singer as director and writer would out rule Cruise as an actor mind. This is quite intolerant. It could get ugly: the rebuttal will come, and Singer may have to quit production and just move onto Superman. Which would be a shame, as I feel that he needs to do something ordinary, or else superheroes won't be so cool to him anymore. Alientraveller 12:03, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Movie itself

It's called voice acting: I would never have known Frank Welker voiced both Megatron and every animal on The Simpsons. Alientraveller 15:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He voiced Rex the sheepdog in Babe, which I've not seen for years so I can't remember his voice. But Weaving need not always go for low, British, drawn out voice, and it's not hard to try something more gutteral and thuggish like he's doing for Megatron. Indeed, there will be modifications, because they are robots: Soundwave in the cartoon had his sing-song synth that embellished Frank Welker, who was putting on his Inspector Claw voice. Alientraveller 16:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you enjoy it: my cinema has previews on the weekend of July 22, so I hope to see it sooner.

Oh excellent. I really look forward. Again, how were the Autobots (each of them) and Starscream? Sounds like it's going to be a fun time. Alientraveller 12:33, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Linkspam

I put together a linkspam blacklist after it seemed that someone was promoting Variety a little too much. Got a question, though -- do you think http://www.tracksounds.com/ qualifies as linkspam?

Your question

Thanks for asking... no, just busy in not-easily-able-to-focus sorts of real-world ways. I tend to be online far too much throughout the day, but with marked differences in how much time and attention I can devote to a specific aspect of the project. Some days, there is enough time to read through and properly contribute to involved issues like the "Episodes" process. Other days are more along the lines of quick Wiki-hits as time permits, and those are the times I am mostly cleaning up vandalism etc. (I'm sure you know what I mean - periods where you can spend, say, an uninterrupted hour on Wikipedia versus the same hour split up into two- or three-minute bursts.) Thanks again, and don't worry - I am keeping up with the process and will definitely contribute as much as I can. --Ckatzchatspy 22:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Locke thinks Walt is special. The capitalization and quotation marks around 'special' is unnecessary though. An editor must have put it there because it is name of Walt's flashback episode (episode 14).

Hi.Sorry to bother you again (and thanks alot for your replies), but I wanted your opinion to my edits on the article.Since the explicitly article discusses the content of the films in this collection, i added a small detail that not all deleted scenes were included and provided the link.I would not have done so if it didnt talk about the contents of these DVDs.-Vmrgrsergr 22:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Oh you thought I wrote the article? No no no.I just made a few edits and added the small detail aobut the deleted scenes section in Superman 4.I felt that was the best place because it is not known to most people aobut these scenes sinc ethey were not included in the film. That's all.-Vmrgrsergr 05:01, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


feel free to improve the article then.But I think it should definately stay.I felt that it the best place to add a small reference about not all the deleted scenes being shown as most people dont even know aobut it.But it's just a small detail.-Vmrgrsergr 20:25, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Will do.Good luck in editing the other articles.-Vmrgrsergr 20:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon spamming

I can see it clearly in the diffs. For example this, your Amazon ref. code is no longer in the URL (/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/102-9866605-0752131). Also note that the software automatically formatting dates according to preferences isn't a good enough reason to have grammatically incorrect dates. Matthew 02:54, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style#National varieties of English — an American article, thus American grammar. It's not excusable to purposefully have bad grammar, just like it wouldn't be excusable to have bad spelling if the software fixed it. "You accused me of spamming, which you know very well that wasn't what I was doing" -- no of course you didn't, you just pretend you didn't insert your referal IDs then. Matthew 03:04, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to show me where it states that it's acceptable to have bad grammar! Also remember that Wikipedia is mirrored, the mirrors wouldn't contain the comma unless they use the same setup as Wikipedia. Thus there is simply no excuse to have bad dates. Matthew 03:06, 30 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While I look for reviews online for the CRSC (amizon is the best I can find so far,however amizon links could be considered spamming since all the reviews are for marketing), I wanted to ask you about Star Wars.I saw the article on space opera and found it fits the description of star wars perfectly.I brought it up on the talkpage but no one seems to respond.What is your say on this matter? I mean space opera includes space adventure, heroism and romance and all are seen in Star Wars.I think it should be changed.When you have time, please see the space opera article and tell me what you think.Thanks alot.-Vmrgrsergr 21:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Yes space opera is a subgenre of science fiction.In general terms star wars would be science fiction but in specific terms we would subcategorise it.the science fantasy definition states that it is fantasy/magic but with scientific explanations just to give it realism.I dont think that would match star wars as it is more sci-fi technology not magic. Im hoping to discuss this on the talkpage.

In the meantime Im still searching for some reviews of the Superman discs.I'll check back to you when Ive got something good.Regards.-Vmrgrsergr 22:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Here's what I found so far...

Ironhide

You removed one of the images from the Ironhide article, and stated that it wasn't Ironhide in the pool. However you left in the text that says "He is seen in his protoform mode in the trailer, rising out of a swimming pool in front of a little girl". Out of interest, who is it that climbs out of the pool? It's nearly four weeks until I get to see the movie. (sob... sob...) -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 13:32, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you've seen the film and understand its context, have you got any suggestions to improve the article? Alientraveller 18:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Movie reviews

Check this out. If you go to Google and type movie:<movie title>, like movie:batman begins, Google provides an list of reviews for you. I don't think it's compiled immediately, as I tried Transformers, but it could be a good link to go with RT and Metacritic instead of individual reviews. —Erik (talkcontrib) - 18:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Template deletion

Ack! Sorry about that. Can't you just use Special:Whatlinkshere on the redirect page? If not, I'd be willing to undelete to let you go through and re-add the category with a bot or AWB or something. I saw there was a lot of transclusions, that's why I redirected, I thought it would a lot less disruptive. Best, IronGargoyle 19:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Smallville "Pilot" lead

No problem - apologies, but I didn't see the "in progress" header until after the fact. I hope it didn't affect your edits. The name "Pilot" certainly complicates the lead, eh? --Ckatzchatspy 01:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 July 4#Template:Dated episode notability -- Ned Scott 07:26, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hi there. Earlier on today I took a look through Angie Y.'s contribs in order to gather evidence of her incivility, to bring it to her attention (here). However, it struck me that her behaviour really wasn't very nice on more than one occasion and I wondered if this can be resolved in some way. Do you think there are suitable grounds for an RfC? Quite a few editors have been involved with trying to mediate the disputes going on but it doesn't seem to have much of an effect. Angie doesn't seem to understand that her behaviour is not civil or correct and has unfortunately continued in a negative pattern. What do you think?

14:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. The reason I ask is that RfC asks that more than one editor has tried to resolve the dispute and I thought that you had helped, amongst others, but wanted to check first whether you'd be happy with having your name mentioned in it? I'm not really an experienced editor but I know something needs to be done. I collected all of the obvious diffs with name calling and such, but as I went through there were clear attempts to canvass other editors for a "fight".
Seraphim Whipp 14:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm. From the conversations going on at Angie's talk page, I won't persue an RfC anymore. I'm not sure, but I think she might geniunely change her behaviour as she now recognises that some of the things she's said aren't acceptable. I might take it up, only if her behaviour of personal attacks doesn't change. Thank-you for your input :-).
16:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm very dissappointed. After the conversations that were had yesterday, Angie is still canvassing. An RfC it is :(.
Seraphim Whipp 11:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just made a sandbox to create it there first before I post it. If I drop you a message when it's done, can you take a look over it for me?
Seraphim Whipp 11:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the diffs. I'm STILL going through her contribs...I didn't realise how long these things took to create...
Seraphim Whipp 15:16, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oki doki. I think I have everything sorted now. Come over, take a look and tell me what you think. :-)
Seraphim Whipp 15:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, the RfC is officially created now and can be found here Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Angie Y.. Thanks for your input.
Seraphim Whipp 16:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah

Hehe, of course not. I just wanted you to notice me. :D Dam-itch 23:56, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, by the way, where/how can I contact them? Dam-itch 00:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I checked. It's mostly about job opportunities, and I can't find an actual way to contact them. Could you take a few minutes (maybe with a few buddies) to search for a way to contact them (not in person)? I feel like this could really make a great sequel idea, but I'm pretty sure they've already begun to write the script. Dam-itch 00:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want the job. :O I just want them to hear my idea through. Dam-itch 00:47, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Question

I don't think that your AfD would have a snowball's chance in hell of getting through, honestly. The topic would most likely be too notable. I would suggest a different kind of structure to the article, such as limiting the list to no more than 20 films per category. I mean, who cares about Eragon being "#89" in the list? I think if the list is trimmed, it may be easier to control and also be more relevant. By the way, I assume you saw the teaser for Cloverfield before Transformers. What was your impression of it? —Erik (talkcontrib) - 11:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know the result of the prodding. If you do venture to AfD territory, make sure you can outline your argument very clearly and explain the article's unverifiable history. BTW, can you check out Talk:Cloverfield and add your $0.02 about the viral marketing links based on the film? —Erik (talkcontrib) - 13:30, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No kidding. There seems to be something similar with Watchmen as well -- see Talk:Watchmen (film)#Rorschach's Journal. There's not much traffic regarding that one, thankfully. And I'm not sure whether to take offense at being called a WikiNerd and WikiPitBull or not. With that pseudo-praise, I would hope for a new editor would have some faith in me. :-P —Erik (talkcontrib) - 13:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My god, man! People need to get off this JPIV "plot hole"! It's not even being used anymore! —Erik (talkcontrib) - 18:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've always thought there should be a repository of laughable edits for each film article, like this one. —Erik (talkcontrib) - 18:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is your watchlist broke? I have, "Due to high database server lag, changes newer than 1273 seconds might not be shown in this list." And counting... —Erik (talkcontrib) - 19:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A whole hour!? I guess I'll wait till I get home... did you see JimDunning's proposal for writing plot summaries on the style guidelines, by the way? —Erik (talkcontrib) - 20:08, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also, what do you think of A Christmas Carol (2008 film)? Too early? Could use a second perspective here. —Erik (talkcontrib) - 20:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transformers

I don't follow your complaint about listing the fates of the characters. If it's relevant to the film's plot (which according to another wiki user, made it too long to include there), is it not inherently relevant to the article?

Also, I concede you're right on the words "mysterously" and "ultimate" but the fact that Frenzy "accidentally" destroys himself is very pertinant--to leave it out suggests that he destroys himself deliberately and is misleading. --ScreenwriterJeb
