Why this edit? Please comment here. —bender235 (talk) 17:39, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the barn star! ;) I would love to work as a team with you on this. Dexter has some pretty good episode articles (from what I see you've created), but it's character articles could use some work. I'd also like to see Rita's article reach GA status. I'm going to put some more work into it later tonight. HorrorFan121 (talk) 19:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing. It's definitely going to need a lot of work to reach GA status, for instance the entirety of the seasons information will need to be revised and perhaps a Reception of her character section. For some really good examples of character articles, you should go to the Lost characters, there are some really good articles there. I'll help out as much as I can. ^____^ That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 21:12, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I concur. A lot of work will be needed for it to get there. I'm willing to put in the work for it. I know that Rita's article will need a development section, and the reception of the character in general. Do you think we need the seasons information though? I covered most of it in the television section. Either way...I'm glad I got someone on board. ;) PS: Do you know any solid sources that pertain to critical reception of Rita or Julie Benz's portrayal? That would really help out. HorrorFan121 (talk) 22:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
IGN should have a few nods to Julie Benz's talents that we could lift some quotes off. For instance: "we saw more of Rita's sexual issues and insecurity, well portrayed when Rita and Dexter double date with Deb and her boyfriend and Rita" in [1]. It would probably be a good idea to put in her awards too: She won a Satellite Award for Best Acress, and a Saturn Award for Best Actress and a Scream Award for Best Horror Actress, all found in List of awards and nominations received by Dexter, along with the joint Screen Actors Guild Award of 2009 and 2010. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 23:34, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Alright, thanks. A user uploaded the main image for deletion. I'm not sure what to do about it. Do you think a screen shot would be better? HorrorFan121 (talk) 23:51, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
Yes, that's probably a better idea, take a screenshot, make sure that it's low resolution, so that it can be accepted under wiki policy, this time you should probably consider giving it a Non-free use media rationale under the reasoning that no other images of its type can be found because they are all copyrighted under Showtime. Also, I've now added an awards section to the page, but it still needs a few references, which I'll work on. ^____^ That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 23:58, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I'll see what I can do. I loved that picture though. :( Oh well. I have the DVD's so I'll go through and see if I can find a suitable image. Thanks for adding the reception section! HorrorFan121 (talk) 00:11, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
How about the new one I just uploaded? I think it suites the article, and follows the guidelines.HorrorFan121 (talk) 00:31, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
That's far better. I've templated the image and given it media rationales, so I think we should be all clear on that one. You might want to change the caption now however, because it is no longer a promotional image. Another thing, when removing the seasonal info, try saving the references by integrating them into what you've done thus far. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 00:42, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for doing the copy edits! I can't put a lot of work into Rita's article tonight, but definitely tomorrow. It's coming along nicely. HorrorFan121 (talk) 23:44, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
That's fine, tonight I'm not going to be able to do a thing on Wikipedia I'm afraid, but you go right ahead. I have one problem with the article, that is: The conception and casting section should contain information solely on the beginning of her character, so the "The Getaway" information is going to have to be moved to a development section. ^____^ But, really good work. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 15:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
I've decided to do a little list of things that could be altered to improve the article, I'll try to do some of them.
  • Perhaps a section pertaining to her past? Since nothing is mentioned of her history with Ackerman and Paul..
  • Nothing is mentioned of her from her role in season five, in the first episode, that might deserve a sentence. checkY
  • The literature section needs improving, but I can't really do that because I couldn't stand the books (I felt they were badly written), so I can't do anything with it.
  • Already aforementioned "conception and casting" move needed. checkY
  • A critical reception section is needed. checkY
  • I need to put in links to the awards years. checkY
OK, great. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 15:26, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I put some more work into it. I added a critical reception section and merged it with your part about the awards. I split up the conception and casting section and took The Getaway information and started a development section. I haven't picked up the books before either. :/ Not sure what to do about that. The information in the Literature section was the original differences from novels section that was at the bottom of the page. HorrorFan121 (talk) 05:45, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Right, well that's all pretty awesome, I reckon it's ready for its submission to Good Article status. :) You might want to consider a peer review before submission, to get people to review it for errors and to get it some recognition, but you don't have to. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 22:35, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Oh, I'm going to post a request for a peer review. The only thing I'm worried about is the Literature section. You've already copy edited so it should be in pretty good shape grammar wise. Thanks so much for your help on it! ;) HorrorFan121 (talk) 02:01, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
The Teamwork Barnstar
Thank you for all your help with Rita Bennett. We make a great team, so long may we continue! - HorrorFan121 Talk 23:40, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

^Thought you deserved this. HorrorFan121 (talk) 04:26, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I am flattered and it was a pleasure working on the article with you. :) That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 20:25, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
An editor peer reviewed Rita's article here:Wikipedia:Peer review/Rita Bennett/archive1. I'm going to need to find some way to incorporate new, sourced information in the Literature section. I strongly disagree about removing the main image as this editor suggested. HorrorFan121 (talk) 20:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Re: Images

Hey! Sure, I can do that. Just let me know which episode, etc. when you're ready. HorrorFan121 (talk) 20:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

I just uploaded them. What do you think? I also managed to find a screenshot from My Bad (Dexter) here [2]. HorrorFan121 (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Because You Left/Dr. Candle

Hello Thecheesykid, I was just wondering, since you're helping out on the Lost pages (thanks by the way), and you also seem to realize that the certain IP continually removes the comments about "Dr. Candle", do you think there's anything that can be done? Since the beginning, we've never commented (to my recollection) what he calls himself in any specific episode, thus, this episode should be no different. Also, it's usually been IPs (this same one for the last few months) that have changed it; all actual members seem to agree that it isn't needed. Do you think there's anything we can do? Cheers, and please keep up the good work. --HELLØ ŦHERE 21:08, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Because You Left GA

Hi there! I reviewed Because You Left, and just have a few suggestions to be resolved. You can find the review here. In the review, I also noted the edit wars going on with the article (which I see you discussed above). Has that been resolved? Thanks, Ruby2010 talk 22:30, 7 March 2011 (UTC)
