Heroes

Where is this segment on drug dealers you mentioned on my userpage? You may of been reffering to the segment where I mentioned alteria motives and pointed out how suicide bomber who are considered as heroes by many people in the middle eat are trying to get into paradise without following the tenates of the islamic faith. In that they would fail in they would not of died for Allah. I have removed that segment to help keep the other segments up in the future.

I have also removed my rant.

I did this in order to keep the other segments that ARE on there from being lost.

I have also gone over the segment where I ask fr definitions and changed to to asking for referances and established reseach on those areas. Corrupt one 06:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

This picture needs a fair use thingy for the Sylar article and for Zach's own page. Could you do that please? thanks. dposse 21:10, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Please? dposse 13:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Looks good, but the user Quentin X has reverted it claiming that "I do not believe that it is good enough for Zachary Qunito." Can you do something about this? I mean, what the hell is wrong with using his character to see what Zach looks like? The fair use is proper, isn't it? If it meets all requirements, i do not see the problem besides this one users opinion that the picture isn't good enough. dposse 14:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

The Importance Of Being Eric Idle

Sorry, I must have deleted that bit by mistake. I was trying to revert a mean sprited and potentially slanderous peice in the opening paragraph. My bad.--Crestville 15:28, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Not at all. I was a bit sceptical about Eric Idle being such a prat, but I've just finished Michael Palin's Diaires and it appears he has prattish tendencies.--Crestville 11:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the binary prefixes reverts against the anonymous editor using a proxy. You may be interested to know I've added a request to semi-protect that page and similar ones here that are also being attacked in the same way. If you wanted to add your voice to the request it may go through quicker. At least that way we won't have to spend a lot of time reverting other anonymous edits. :) Fnagaton 18:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Heroes/Tendim

Hi Ckatz. Thanks for the information. However, accordingly the other person undid my edits three times first, did they not? Would they not be in violation first? I supported my arguments on the Talk page, and other users seem to share my opinion. I am at a loss as to why there is a single person who keeps undoing the work I am trying add. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tendim (talk • contribs)

Help on a dispute

Hi. You've been helpful in Heroes-related articles and I was wondering if you could have a look at a dispute I'm having at Janitor (Scrubs), specifically Talk:Janitor (Scrubs)#First season appearances. The issue is as follows: Until the beginning of the second season, the show's creators were uncertain whether the character (Janitor) was to be an actual character, or simply the main character's imagination. At the beginning of the second season, and continuing to the present season, the character has been shown to be a real character and not just of figment of the main character's imagination. In the article there was a list of Janitor's appearance, as supposed interaction with other characters, intended to show (per the discussion on the talk page) "the he might have been just of figment of J.D.'s imagination". I suggested condensing the list into a simple paragraph of prose, describing the producer's intent. The other editors responded by converting the list into a table and inserting a massive amount of OR. I would appreciate it if you could look at the situation and offer your thoughts. Thank You. - SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 21:17, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Deadwood

Hi Ckatz. About your edit on Deadwood (TV series), I'd suggest that you left the info, removing perhaps only the part: "Detailed statistics can be found at "http://www.thewvsr.com/deadwood.htm". I think the rest is relevant to the section, and only uses the external link as a reference. What do you think? --Waldir 22:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Flash Mob

So it's ok to list individual flash mob actions, but not the groups that do them? I'm sure you're aware that there ARE lists of groups on wiki... I randomly found this(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_law_enforcement_agencies) by doing a couple of searches... I'm certain I can find many more lists of groups. Would it be best for me to start a whole new page dedicated to a listing of flash mob groups? That seems a little excessive doesn't it? I’m really not trying to cause a problem here, and I really DO appreciate the way you handled reverting my changes. However, I still fail to see how you are able to differentiate between a whole page that is dedicated to groups and a short snippet on a low-profile page and say that the latter is a problem. Can you explain it? I’m pretty sure I can come up with examples that are a lot closer to the same situation, if you’d like me to… I honestly only searched twice to find the one above. I just don’t feel that the decision to remove my addition is “fair”.

There's even a list of people who just collect stuff, which seems WAY less "acceptable" than what I'm proposing... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collectors . I'm not asking to start a list about guys who get off by playing with their coins and stamps in their basements.

Ok, I just had to look...

User edit templates

Hello - I noticed that you created {{Template:User 45 000e/test}} which allows the user to specify a preference of whether to use commas or simply a blank space. I took a look at the code, and managed to replicate it at {{Template:User 1 000e/test}} after a bit of trial and error! I think implementing this feature into all the edit number templates (with the obvious exception of those under 1,000) would be a great idea, and was wondering if there is any talk page that I should achieve consensus on first, or whether I should just be bold and do it straight away? It'd be great if you could reply on my talk page whenever you've got a minute - knowing me, I'll probably forget I ever brought this up here! Thanks,  H4cksaw  (talk) 13:45, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi; it's Serendipodous- I think I might be being trolled

And I'm not sure what to do about it. User:Piercetheorganist changed the spelling on the Pluto page from "recognised" to "recognized", leaving the following illuminating justification in the edit history: "Corrected spelling of "recognised" to "recognized". Welcome to America, asshats. We speak REAL English here". I reverted it, leaving the explanation in the edit history that Wiki convention is that spellings be consistent. Unfortunately, the line didn't take and all that showed up was "it". This prompted the guy to post the following on my talk page:

I undid your revisions to the article, as your spelling is incorrect according to both Merriam-Webster's dictionary and my computer's standard spell-checker.

Wikipedia was founded by Americans, and is hosted on servers in America.

Pluto was discovered by an American, and its named approved by Americans.

So you and your retarded-ass Asperger self can shut up and go cry in a corner about how your country sucks ass compared to America. Leave your goddamn piece of shit British spellings where they belong: in the toilet where America rightly put them. Piercetheorganist 13:57, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

If this guy reverts me again, I'll be up against the three revert rule, and I really would not have to deal with this kind of abuse. So what should I do? Serendipodous 14:35, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

episode redirects

If i may be blunt for a moment, that's complete bullshit. We worked so hard on the episode articles. They meet all notability requirements, so i don't see any f*cking problem. Things shouldn't change because one user has a beef about it. If that user wants something done, he should speak with the community here at wikipedia and form a consensus. Episode aritcles are not only important to the overall status of articles, but they are quite imformative as well.

Clarification on "Off the Grid" Sg1 episode

Hello! I've seen your impressive contributions to Wikipedia, and before anything else, i'd like you to know how much i appreciate you, and people like you, who tirelessly work to better this wonderful project.

As for me, i've been making some sporadical contributions, but i go quite proud of my (albeit insignificant compared to yours) work here. What i'm asking to you is to let me know what you mean with "not notable", in you last revision of "Off the Grid", the wikipedia article of the Stargate SG1 episode with the same name. If it's a matter of the information being false, i can guarantee to you that i've double checked it, and the symbols are really the same as Abydos. Also, I find that piece of information quite interesting (surely more so than a lot of boring trivia that litters lots of articles on wikipedia). I'd also like to add that I'm a great fan of SG1, and that note i added wasn't intended to undermine in any way the ability of SG1 writers and producers, people which i actually admire.

Please let me know where you answer me, possibly by sending me an E-Mail via wikipedia, because i'm really eager to better my way of contribution. :-)

First let me say "hi" to a fellow Canuck from the East Coast to the West Coast.

Second, if you're talking about the dates, say so, instead of going on and on with words I have no idea what they mean or their purpose. Seems everyon on Wiki has this annoying habit.

Third, since I'm Canuck like you, the dates are not wrong, that's the way we were taught from birth. I'm changing them when I change the information about Season 3 in North America.

More TTN trouble

While not "TTN trouble", it does show why that proposing discussion will get you nowhere if the fans object in any real way. He had to be blocked for breaking the 3RR with other people to stop. And I would classify him as one of the less obsessive ones. TTN 11:29, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, really

I don't want to give you the impression that my thanking you for the heads up on my talk page was a "standard response" or not genuine. I've learned from experience that discussions about a particular article are best held on the article's talk page so that everyone interested can be included, but I've left the section on my talk page open too for flexibility and a sign I appreciate your style of editing. I wish there were more like you. Anynobody 08:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

The better to see you with

Yeah. 930 for Spider-Man 3. I'm pretty sure I'm at the top of the list for that article. Next is Smallville. Right now I'm trying to crank out this new season format. As I'm reorganizing I'm coming to the realization that certain episodes have like 1 sentence of information in a given sentence. So I'm fretting having to smooth it out, because if I can't then it means it really doesn't have a place at all. I think I can get it all together in a nice way so that it doesn't come off as just a paragraph worth of production trivia. We'll see.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if you mean the current articles or if you mean the format I'm using, but the current articles are in bad shape. The way they are set up, if you did a proper production and reception section for each one (each wouldn't have a reception section anyway, because each didn't get professionally reviewed), you'd end up with a table of contents that's as long as the page itself. If you read Gwinva's latest additions, they want to see the articles move to the "List of" or "Season" type pages, were you don't have to worry about copyright violations with the plots (granted they need to be kept in check in those places as well, but people are less apt to write overly long plots in a table format), and where you can work in a good reception section for the seasons. Most shows are not reviewed on an episode by episode basis, at least not by professional news organizations. You are more likely to find reviews for seasons as a whole, especially after a DVD comes out and people sit down and watch what they missed. There are just far too many shows on television at one time for them to review each, especially when you deal with shows that aren't on the bigger networks. If you go through my new format, and look at the information (it's really chaotic so be somewhat warned), some episodes only have like 3 sentences of production information. I got that from a book, where the author actually went out and interviewed the cast, writers, directors, etc and had them talk about the episodes. I know that probably doesn't completely address the question you asked. What I mean to say is that most of us aren't trying to just delete this information altogether, but find a better alternative to just creating an article where the plots are huge, and we list random trivia. We think that moving them to larger articles, and creating sections of "combined" information will be best. I mean, there's only so many times someone can explain how they draw Bart Simpson, if you know what I mean.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:21, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I chose the table format to keep it all neater, and limit the prospect that people will put overly long plots in them. I could probably expand on what's in them a bit, but my idea was that they should be proportional to the amount of production information they have. I didn't want to have plots that were larger than their real world content. I mean, I didn't see a reason to detail "Shimmer" if I had absolutely nothing to say about it. That said, I don't mean to say there should be one plot that's huge, and one that's thing. I was trying to keep them equal to each other. But, we'll see how it all looks when I get the last two episodes finished. "Tempest" will most likely be its own article, because it actually has "in-depth" coverage (it got 10 pages, as opposed to the 2 1/2 the rest of the episodes got). I'm sure once I get all the points turned into prose that I'll make more adjustments to the format. If you look at my note, I didn't originally intend to have more than a "Production" header, but the way the information became spaced, I realized I needed subs.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Trying to get some feedback. How do you think this section of my new season format reads? It's only a section, but it was the easiest to go ahead and convert to prose.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Take your time. It's just one section anyway, which will probably grow. I'm having difficulty finding any criticism on "Metamorphosis", and since there isn't "a lot" of information on it (more than some, but no where near that of the pilot episode) it may be merged back into the season page. I won't know till I continue my search, and until I get through the "Meet the Crew" section of my book. I'll be out of town all weekend, so it won't get much work anyway. I think it turned out alright, needs to copyediting, but I always save that stuff for last. Then again, I have bias. ;) Bignole 00:14, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

We can't review an article that has nothing but a plot, as there wouldn't be anything to review. The idea behind the review isn't to help find information, it's to assess if the article is close to meeting the standards and just needs more time, with maybe some helpful pointers on what to do. If you still only have a plot after 14 days (which it will be longer than 14 days, because I'm positive we wouldn't be able to look at every article the day it hits the category) then what is there to review? Review all the non-free content?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

You haven't given up have you?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 15:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I completely understand. That new season format is just about complete. It needs serious copyediting, which I won't worry about till I put it up, but the only big thing left to do is go through some links I have in my favorites and prose-up the Reception section.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:33, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I like your wording of the introductory sentence better. Thanks.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:31, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Nope, I was working in specific sections when you did that so it didn't affect me. I didn't even notice you had changed it till I went to remove the "inuse" tag and notice the lead sentence (which I had planned to rewrite again, but you did a better job than what I had in mind) was different. Then I realized someone changed it and just checked the history. Yeah, "pilot" titles are weird because they are generally referred to as "the pilot" and not "Pilot". I think the way you wrote it should be implented for Pilot (House) and any others (I mention house because it's FA).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I finally finished the work on the season page. Take a look and tell me what you think. It needs a good copyedit for wordiness and word choices, but that's easy to find if the page is implented into the mainspace.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 17:03, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and dumped it on the mainspace. It's been in "proposal" since May 26, with no actual objections. I'd still appreciate a read from you when you get the time, I'm sure you are busy, as am I. I guess that means I can legitimately redirect the episode pages for at least that season?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 17:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad someone else is seeing this. I saw you had to have a chat with Robin before. It seems she does something, you correct her, and then she either does it again or just simply does something else that proves to be just as wrong. I've gotten to the point that I've ignore the delinking in all the citations, and the removal of what she considered "extra space", but I get annoyed when she rewords sentences so that they are no longer a representation of the citation. She labels things as "minor" and then removed 500 characters, and not all are simply removing spaces. *Sigh*. Anyway, how are things where you're editing?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Episode-notability template

The template is meant as a fair warning to users. Removing the part about deletion doesn't protect the articles in question from deletion, and only misleads users to thinking redirecting or merging will be the only outcome.

Calvin and Hobbes

If the reference to Buffy and Sugar Bombs (which is Calvin's favorite cereal) is too trivial, then so is the one for the Marvel Comics Runaways, since it uses the same trivial reference (Sugar Bombs). As well, there is no comic I can find listing Lucky, so that should be removed as well. Ccrashh 19:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Done. (Generally speaking, unreferenced trivia should be weeded out.) Thanks for mentioning those two. --Ckatz^chat_spy 19:26, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I hate removing things on my own. Not 100% sure yet what is valid and what isn't. By the way, I noted the Trivia warning, and am attempting to make that section a prose rather than a list. Would love your comments before I post it. Ccrashh 23:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edit to B Line

Hi, Ckatz. You recently reverted my edit to B Line with the es, "Other - format per disambiguation page guidelines." Could you be more specific about what guideline you're referring to and why you think it makes sense here?

I initially debated with myself whether there should be an EL here, and concluded that if a disambiguation page is to reference a company or product line (which it should, I think, if the name has almost any market penetration and matches the name of the disambiguation page), then it should include a link to how to get more information. If there is a Wikipedia page on the topic, it should link to that page, but if there is not, it should link to the company's web site (or some other applicable external link). I also think it is helpful to have markup applied to the substring of the disambiguation text which matches the name (my use of bold). One markup would be to make it a link, which is the usual thing, but I think we should treat external links with a bit more care and make them clearly external links, rather than to do them in the same style as internal wikipedia links, which could be confusing. That's why I made the edit that I did.

I agree that WP:MOSDAB does say, "External links should rarely, if ever, be given entries in disambiguation pages. Including them as comments or on a talk page is a way to mention URLs that might be helpful in the future," but my sense is the intent is to refer to topics that have a Wikipedia page, not topics where the external link is the only link. As such, I would say this falls under the "rarely" case, or, alternatively, under "Break rules" (WP:IAR).

Thanks! jhawkinson 13:09, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I had not noticed the Cooper Industries page, I agree it is right to link to it. On the other hand, someone looking for information on Cooper B-Line will now not have a good opportunity to find www.b-line.com, which seems IMHO poor. I can (and will) add a link to it from the Cooper Industries page, but I'm not sure the situation is better that way. I'm not well convinced on your directory argument -- where there is no other directory service to link to, it seems to me wikipedia's disambiguation pages seem decent...jhawkinson 22:13, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

City Centre Development Plan section I added

Hi there,

You added a "clean-up" tag to the City Centre Development Plan section of the Richmond, British Columbia page that I put up. I was wondering if you could be more specific as to what I should fix up. This is the first real content that I have put up. I realize that I have to go back an put in my "internal links" to some of the topics that I mentioned, but I was wondering what else I should do.

Also, since I used four different newspaper articles as sources, is there a way to make a reference tag point to one I made before? I mean, references section of the Richmond page, 10,13,14 all point to the same article. Is there a way to make them all one?

I also noticed that you removed the
I added. I put them there to make the pictures I posted line up with the text. With the
removed the picture of the Aberdeen Centre expansion slips down to the film and television section instead of staying up near the Aberdeen Centre section. Is there a better way to get them to line up?

I really appreciate your help and advice. Thanks!

I think the paged looked better when I had the pictures in the Castan Way Development section Co-aligned. I can understand why you resized them, but why put them to the right side again. Now the pictures don't line up with the text they are referring to. Putting them in the middle can't be against the rules since they show you how to center the pictures in the tutorial.

It is very unlikely that any article will have agreement from all editors. If edit disputes arise, they should be handled with one of the various mediation alternatives that you can research. However the best one is usually to resolve edit disputes on the article talk page so that a consensus is reached. At that point all of the editors should be respectful of that consensus. If not try resolving disputes.

If an article is a content fork or combines two already existing articles then it probably needs to removed by AfD or one of the related processes. There is a point in time when it is better to bring the article to the attention of others Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard is one if there is an apparent conflict of interest by the editor which might be in play here. You also always need to be aware of the WP:3RR rule.

I'm not going to take the time to dig through this to comment about the specifics. My time is going to be limited for a while and there is a bunch of work I'd like to do. I think my general comments should get you started. But do read the conflict resolution process. If you believe that another user is attacking you, the do take that to, I believe, WP:ANI for someone to look at it. A user can be blocked for this if it is excessive.

Fair use rationale for Image:Aboriginal_Voices_Radio_Network_top_banner.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Aboriginal_Voices_Radio_Network_top_banner.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. The Sunshine Man 16:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Punctuation in Doctor Who

I noticed your reversion of most of my reversion of some punctuation in the Doctor Who article--commas within rather than outside quotes. I hope my summary indicated that I did consider it possible that with titles it might have been a case of US vs. Brit English usage, and I see that you left the dialogue quote alone. I for one now consider this issue settled, but cannot speak for the person whose edit I reinstated. Ted Watson 19:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. My changes weren't based on the U.K.-U.S. differences, but on the style guide (and hence the changes were only to titles). In terms of titles, Wikipedia treats quotation marks as applying only to the title in question. All punctuation is kept outside of the quotation marks, and the same is true for italics as well. --Ckatz^chat_spy 20:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Interesting, for putting punctuation outside quotation marks is in direct violation of the rules of proper English as taught in my formal education from beginning to end. I even had difficulty with more than one teacher when I would write a question that ended with a direct quote--the question mark would not be part of the quoted material, but the teachers wanted it inside the quote marks simply because of that rule. I still think that this rule still exists, and in general believe it is right, so I'll check the Wiki style guide you linked in and perhaps raise the issue on a talk page there. However, you did previously revert the punctuation location in the dialogue quote I cited. No offense, but the History listings there will prove it. Ted Watson 20:26, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

"Asked in 'Smith and Jones' whether he had a brother, the Doctor replied, 'Not any more.'" The last three words are, according to the passage, dialogue from the programme. As a hypothetical example of commas within quotation marks for titles, when one has a series of such titles, the comma between each would be within the quote marks, according to my teachers and the textbooks issued in their classes. Ted Watson 21:02, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

My most humble apologies, you are correct, it was not you before. Very, very sorry. For some reason, I just assumed the same person jumped back in, but not so. My bad. Ted Watson 18:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Heroes project

Just because the show isn't on, doesn't mean the project should be inactive/little activity. That's not how projects work. They don't just go on vacation because of the show being in reruns for the summer. Frankly, Heroes is a broad scope for a project. It should've been a taskforce in the first place. I might just put the project in MFD, for that reason itself. Heroes being popular is one thing, but that doesn't make it less broad. A few articles total isn't much for a project. What is there, 20.. maybe 30 for Heroes? I'm a fan of the show as much as the next person, but I'm highly against broad scope projects. RobJ1981 21:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Vancouver

As a fellow Canuck and one who resides in B.C. I'm really surprised you're not in favour of having it read Vancouver B.C. on Stargate - which I have NOT changed this past week, so I don't know what you're talking about.

As you've been told many times by several different editors, this is an international project and we have to write in a manner that reflects the audience. As for the warning, you are well aware that you changed the Smallville article once again, against the wishes of other editors and in an identical manner to your edits at Stargate SG-1. --Ckatz^chat_spy 08:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ckatz

Why did you remove an External Link I added to Granby Quebec?

I feel like http://www.infoaboutyourcity.com/Canada/Granby_Quebec/index.html tourist attraction section is a very good addon to the information about the city.

Back on the granby external link ... I did read the guideline ... so, you must explain why you removed it please. Because as far as I know, the url does not contredict the guideline. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cocacolafun (talk • contribs) 19:33, 2 August 2007

Simply put, the link fails based on several conditions under "Links normally to be avoided":

1. Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article. (The site in question contains very little information, none of which is unique.)

3. Links mainly intended to promote a website. (Given the lack of unique information present, this link serves no purpose other than to gain a larger audience for the site.)

5. Links to sites with objectionable amounts of advertising. (Site has prominent text advertising in column on right side of page, visible at all times.)

As well, an examination of the site (home page etc.) reveals that it appears to exist primarily to get viewers for advertising. (This is a subjective analysis,of course, but the home page boasts of "anylizing reports" [sic] and information on the "best looking girls/boys in the world".) Sorry, but it just doesn't meet the guideline. --Ckatz^chat_spy 19:53, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

SRT Syndicate

Why do you continually remove SRT Syndicate from the external links? It is not a commercial site, the owner contunally loses money but keeps the site there for the betterment of the SRT-4 community. I find it ironc that you will keep the srt forums link but refuse to keep the SRT Syndicate link. Srtforums is run by a money hungry admin that makes over 100k a year off that site alone and he owns several large site that rake in money. The site is well know for scams by paying vendors and the owner does nothing to help or even screen incoming vendors to try to prevent scamming. While srt forums has a larger member base it takes forever to get a response to questions and most of the time the information is incorrect. However, even with a lower number of members when a question is asked on SRT Syndicate it is answered as soon as possible and by people that are essentially experts in all aspects of the SRT-4. I do not request that you remove the SRT Forums link, I just politely request that you add SRT Syndicate to the external links page and at least let people decide what site they would prefer to frequent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.91.186 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 2 August 2007

Please read through the external links guidelines - they will explain exactly why your link is being removed. If you feel that the SRTForums link is also unsuitable, please make your case on the article talk page. (As I've already explained there, I have no interest in the SRTForums link - if it is invalid as well, I'll remove it.) --Ckatz^chat_spy 19:12, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

reference language specifications

Per [3], is there an SOP for not utilizing the "language" variable in citation templates if the reference is in English? While there are no other references in other languages, how does stipulating these as "English" cause confusion? Because the article is English, and the subject is in English, that doesn't follow that the references will be in English; having references tagged as "English" seems to be clearer and less ambiguous than not. — pd_THOR ^{| =/\=} | 21:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

While I haven't found an explicit guideline regarding that, there are several examples from the citation templates that suggest we should not state "English":

• From "cite web":"language: language of publication (don't specify "English" as this is the default)"
• From "cite book":"language: The language the book is written in, if it is not English."

As well, the lack of citations using "language=English" would lead one to think that such usage is discouraged. Thoughts? --Ckatz^chat_spy 21:25, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

The simplest way to confirm a station's city of license is to search the CRTC website (http://www.crtc.gc.ca/) for the call sign; that will bring up all past license decisions and such related to that station, and for obvious reasons the CRTC always uses the actual city of license.

You recently reverted edit claiming it was vandalism. The editor in question simply reordered the external links.

WikiProject Comics guidelines

In the comics articles, we specify Fictional character biography as a way to meet numerous Wikipedia guidelines, especially those about making fiction clear and to keep from having to rewrite fictional biographies in weird warys to avoid writing them in-universe. Many, many people have weighed in on developing this. Doczilla 21:13, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

• "is considered to be redundant" by whom? A fictional character has both real world behind-the-scenes history and a fictional biography. (Oh, yes, and a publication history.) Specifying which is which would not be inherently redundant. Do you have specific WikiProject Television guidelines and exemplars you're referring to?

Four reverts in under 20 hours. That's a 3RR violation. Read the 3RR guidelines. It does not have to be a 100% page revert every time. Each time, he reverts the name of that darn movie. That counts. As for the warning, no, I can't find that he was ever warned about 3RR. He'll probably only get a warning for it, but then again, he's gotten plenty of other warnings and is not a brand new user at this point, so a brief block is possible. The requirement about a past warning is mainly for new users. Dr.Who 09:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I'd been looking at the more recent edits, not the ones you reported. It still would've been better to warn first and then report if further violations were made. I rather question how much of the rules he's picked up. --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 09:25, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Scrubs (TV series) - TTN merging

Hi. I gather from looking through the past history and actions of TTN that you've been involved in discussions on the subject of his merges before. I don't suppose I could get you to weigh in on the merge proposed by that user at Scrubs (TV series) please?

I also refer you to the talk page for J.D. (Scrubs) where TTN has been reducing large sections down to single sentences with no prior discussion (edits reverted, discussion now taking place). I particularly liked his comment "See, this is why I hate discussing most of the time"...

Sorry to drag you into this whole thing again, I imagine it's a bit tiresome. For the record, I'm a disinterested party - I made one edit to a Scrubs-related article, some while ago, and that was just correcting a misdirected internal link.

Automated reversion

Howdy! This isn't a policy, per se, but wikitiquette strongly suggests that automated reversion of any form should be reserved for edits identified as a form of vandalism or other bad faith edits.

deleting pages

Hello Ckatz, I thank you for your contribution, but Hydraulic torque wrench is a very common industry tool and is warranted in many of the locations that I put it in. I mean, I'm not being fecicious when I say this but you must not know much about a hydraulic torque wrench.. for example.

Under: Types of tools, Impact wrench is the same as a hydraulic torque wrench (air vs hydraulic) Hydraulic torque wrench is warranted in this section

Under: Power Tool, impact wrench is listed under LIST OF POWER TOOLS is the same as a hydraulic torque wrench (air vs hydraulic) Hydraulic torque wrench is warranted in this section

Under: Wrench, It is the section of SPECIALIZED WRENCHES, Hydraulic torque wrench is required to be listed under and along with the other listing of Torque wrench, Spoke wrench, Podging wrench, Lug wrench, Spanner Wrench ETC. these are all the same classifications.

Imperial units on solar system bodies

Hi - I'm glad you agree. There have been some bizarre conversions in the infoboxes. Jupiter had density in lb/US gallon and the Sun had it in lb/cubic foot! These are absolutely useless to anyone. Even if someone needs the exact figure for some calculation they will always use the metric unit.

I've been working through solar system objects and have had full support so far. I'm also getting the format of the infoboxes all identical. Have a look at Mars - I've worked on it. If you think that's ok, let me know and I'll fix the others up. Basically I've removed spaces in decimals, removed () from conversions, got rid of imperial units and linked the first use of a unit. Let me know what you think. Regards, Jim77742 09:01, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, what do you think about listing American airdates with the original one? I personally don't think it's a good idea as then every other airdate should be there. I'm a bitch according to to Cuddlecakes :-P. Matthew 08:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The Moon is SI

I guess I understand your edit after reading the Saturn discussion. SI is the accepted standard for science but it's hard for us "south of the border" folk to quickly grasp figures when they are not expressed in feet, miles, of pounds (I could not tell you how tall I am in cm without some thought). I will refrain from adding non-Si to info boxes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Heflinator (talk • contribs) 16:39, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Edit:

Hello Ckatz,

my name is Rich Houston, public relations manager for Dave McRae. I am writing to you in regards to an edit you made on Dave McRae's wikipedia site. You removed "award winning" because you felt that these were school awards. I would like to clarify for you, that Dave McRae is a working professional with in the entertainment industry, and the 5 IMTA awards he won in Los Angeles California in 2003, which is mentioned in the article by the way, are not school awards. These were professional acting awards won at the largest acting convention in the world. I have reinstated the "award winning" as this is something vital and appropriate to the wikipedia information.

Thank you for your time, all the best, Rich Houston: public relations manager: Dave McRae: Toronto Ontario Canada. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.146.167 (talk) 00:23, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

You've gotta explain

Okay, so I don't really understand what the problem is. I'll take your word for it on the IMDb thing (though a fuller explanation would be awesome), but I'm not sure what's wrong with the other one. Do English wiki articles need to be from purely Anglophonic sources unlike the rest of the languages?

--Leodmacleod 8:22 pm 09-24-07 CT (1:23 24 Sept 2007 UTC)

Oh yeah!

Also, I was wondering, since you seem all experienced and such, would the references I used count if it was preceded AND followed by an assertion of information's tentative, near-rumor status?

Also, I'm going to keep looking for a good one ;)

--Leod again --only moments later

Regarding Heroes' inspiration from De drabbade.

Yes, I provided 6 references, all saying there is inspiration (some say outright plagiarism). So I don't understand why you removed the paragraph. How could I prove that there IS an inspiration? Wikipedia do not require proof, but references. The problem is that the references are all in Swedish (except one, that on IMDB). However, Wikipedia allows non-English references if there are no other ones available.

Please note, I have not seen De drabbade myself, I just think that this information could be important and interesting. One person even stated that Niki's web strip scene is right from De drabbade. I will check out the series myself.Wahlin 16:23, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Metro Vancouver name change

I see you changed the human readable text in the GVRD stub template to say "Metro Vancouver" rather than "Greater Vancouver". I had updated the link but not the displayed text. Here is my rationale:

- when the text in the article explicitly says GVRD or includes Regional District, it is clearly referring to the political entity, so change it to say Metro Vancouver (and reword the grammar).

- when the article text says only "Greater Vancouver" this may be intended colloquially i.e. what we may each think of as what Greater means - something more than just the city. In that case I would try to respect the intent of the original writer and change only the underlying link from GVRD to Metro.

- and in fact, where only "Greater Vancouver" is used, it should probably be a plain link to Greater Vancouver and let it redirect where it wishes, however most of the Greater Vancouver's used the GVRD link.

Are we changing all places where Greater Vancouver occurs, or just when the article specifically says Greater Vancouver Regional District/GVRD? Franamax 17:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

The term "completed" to describe a TV series

Hello, I noticed your efforts to undo these sorts of edits. Using the term "completed" seems unnecessary to me, and I have created a discussion at WikiProject Television about this issue. Feel free to check it out and comment. Here is a link Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television#.22Completed.22_and_.22ongoing.22_series_OR_User:Loansince -NatureBoyMD 01:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Proof as requested

I have now seen De drabbade and there ARE inspirations. I have listed some obvious ones in the Heroes article. Wahlin 21:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the section to remove non-encyclopedic text and assertions. We'll see what the reaction is. --Ckatz^chat_spy 21:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

OK! It looks much better. If something could be regarded as "proof", it'd the web strip character... You don't think she deserves to be listed? That would increase the chance of the paragraph's survival. By the way, if you like Heroes, I think you'd enjoy De drabbade (there is a DVD out now, but stupidly enough it doesn't seem to come with English subtitles yet) http://butiken.svt.se/system/search/product.asp?id=304. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wahlin (talk • contribs) 21:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Helix Theme

I am wondering about this edit. You are clearly correct in removing it, but I am wondering if the list can be prosified so that we can mention the usage of the Helix as something thematic. I am thinking of posing it to the list, but I will pose it to you first (so I can get feedback on whether it's even worth asking): does the helix ever herald something occuring in the series? I mean, I seem to recall other series (like the X-Files use of the X-theme or cigarettes to announce the presence of the conspiracy) that use a thematic component that, when it appears, announces that something specific/significant/important is going on with the show. I think cockroaches can be seen in this same light.

Of course, there would have to be citation for it, but if we know what we are looking for, it might make the searching a bit more pointed. Thoughts? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd like this settled one way or another. Click here to comment.

When it is, I'd like to continue developing some consensus policy on editing the lead. It seems that getting people to respect long-standing consensus on a high profile/high priority/feature-class article is extremely time consuming and could use some clarification.
