Soaps

The soap actor articles aren't for every person who ever appeared on one, but for people who are either currently on one, or were on one for at least three years, so they could have sufficient notability in the show itself and in their careers. Mike H 10:25, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

I was unaware Wikipedia had any requirements for display resolution. In fact most of the articles I've seen and worked with were designed with 1024x768 as seen from most of the tables that take up half the page (in 800) and galleries that make you scroll. I'll investigate this to see if there is actually a rule of thumb here. I don't believe there is K1Bond007 00:55, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

I see your point, but I don't think Wikipedia has any requirements nor should have any requirements. That said, it doesn't matter. I found a work around. In 1024 it looks the same as it did before. In 800 it wraps thus not forcing the person to scroll. K1Bond007 01:50, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

The one I found uses a template...

Although some quotes on the films are relevant (Bond. James Bond) etc, quotes are usually left to Wikipedia's sister site Wikiquote The site I just linked will take you directly to the article on Wikiquote for the James Bond series. Instead of listing the quotes here what we should do is move whatever isn't a duplicate there and link to it. Wikipedia uses a template for this (example Terminator 2: Judgment Day at the bottom). Just FYI. This should be linked to every Bond film and the James Bond article itself. It's just something we haven't gotten around to do yet. K1Bond007 04:34, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)

Bond trivia items and IMDb copyright

Thanks for your additions to the various James Bond film articles. But please be careful not to simply cut-and-paste items from IMDb or change just a word or two. I recognized the trivia item re:Claude Renoir you added for Spy Who Loved Me instantly because I wrote the original for the IMDb. Likewise, Broccoli's dream trivia item from Diamonds was also too similar to what had been written in the IMDb. I'm double checking your other additions now. Even if you wrote an original trivia item for IMDb yourself, that site holds copyright on anything posted there, so it needs to be reworded for use here. If the copyvio police at Wikipedia notice the similarities, they slap an ugly copyvio notice on the article that hangs around for weeks and also puts the entire article in danger of deletion. Thanks. 23skidoo 17:29, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Soap article policy proposal

Since you edit soap articles, I figure you might be interested in the policy proposal I've brought up on the talk page for the Soap WikiProject. If you haven't done so yet, be sure to sign your name on the regular page, noting that you support the work in such a project. Mike H 07:45, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

NFL articles

Just wanted to tell you that I'm very impressed at the great work you've been doing on NFL articles. I especially like the Superbowl infobox. Also, one quick questions: Is there a good online source for game summaries of NFL playoff games? Thanks! Carbonite 22:36, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

"Mainland China" vs "PRC"

Hello. Thanks for sharing your opinion at WP:CFD. But I am afraid in any case if you're well-informed with the situation when you cast your vote I would recommend you to reconsider. — Instantnood 16:51, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

• Re: Wikipedia:Categories for deletion#Category:Cities_in_mainland_China. My basis for voting was: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Political NPOV, but "Mainland China" vs "PRC" was currently under dispute. Zzyzx11 22:22, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. IMHO, If it is under dispute it should not be deleted, but hold. — Instantnood 14:46, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Zzyzx11. You can join the discussion at the naming conventions talk page at any time. :-D — Instantnood 05:48, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

Re: WP:CFD#Category:Something by country

To make things consistence, and to avoid putting in wrong categories. — Instantnood 18:25, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I have been hunting for good examples before you requested for them. :-D — Instantnood 19:05, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)

Speedy

I've seen you at Newpages and I'd just like to say that I appreciate all the speedy deletion tagging you've been doing. :) Mgm|^(talk) 22:30, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
