[edit] Trek film series
David, The purpose of the section you removed in Star Trek (film series) was to give brief plot synopses of about 2 sentences to all the films,and give minimal info about the interrelationship of the film plots to other films and the various TV series. That at least was not redundant to anything else in the article. The rest of the article was devoted to production detail and information, but said nothing about the plots.
Perhaps
1) some format other than a table, or
2) some flag to the title of the table to indicate it is about plots would be in order, or
3) a merge with the tables on music and box office
would be appropriate.
However, the table was not redundant to the rest of the article as your edit-summary suggested or stated. Regards,--WickerGuy (talk) 17:03, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed poll
Re the caps and title case, I asked Aleandr and he says I should ask you about this. I am considering launching a new information poll at WT:TITLE, to get a better idea of where people stand on the changes that Born2cycle has proposed. I have drafted a poll in my user subpage at User:Dicklyon/Recognizability poll. I'd like to post this to WT:TITLE soon, if you think it won't be disruptive to the ongoing process. It might even solicit some opinions that people can cite in evidence. Does that seem like an OK idea? Dicklyon (talk) 16:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] MSU Interview
Dear David,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
- Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
- Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
- All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
- All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
- The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 02:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] FAC
Two weeks later, the nom is finally within the rules, so here I go again... hope you don't mind if I'm taking a cue from your style of FAC introductions (and your guide - unintentionally, but once I had stumbled upon the very same joke, there was no way I wouldn't link to it!). Also, any comments/suggestions you can add there are welcome :) Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 01:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
If you have more to say, I'm willing to hear it. igordebraga ≠ 04:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Wong Kim Ark FAC
Hi. I realize you're very busy, but I was wondering if you might be able/willing to take some time and participate in the FAC for United States v. Wong Kim Ark. The current FAC (2nd one for this article) has been going on for a very long time — largely because of lengthy exchanges with two skeptical reviewers who, however, seem to have left the discussion for now. I believe the FAC would benefit greatly from new input; and regardless of whether the article gets promoted this time or needs to go for a third FAC sometime in the future, I do believe the comments I've received so far have resulted in the article being significantly improved over where it was a few weeks ago. Thanks for whatever you can do here. — Richwales 19:52, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Inserting of picture for sequel
Hey David. I have a question, that is, regrettably, once more about the DotA article. Right here I have an image comparison between DotA and Dota 2 and I was wondering, while concerning sequels, do you feel it is appropriate to include an image screenshot comparison between the first and the second, if we were to want to include such an edit on the DotA page?
