Wanting to delete all Batman movie templates is laughable

So you don't want any templates remotely related to any Batman film series, huh? So then what do you want then. Like I said, there are numerous other film series related templates beyond Batman. Why have film related templates, if you don't want things to be as comprhensive as possible? Also, having templates for strictly the Joel Schumacher, Tim Burton, and Christopher Nolan set of films was the best compromise when compared to simply grouping them up in one setting.

Your edits on the Batman film template

It's way too Burton era centric if you ask me (at least in terms of the number of crew members). There should be a mini-section for each of the directors, producers, writers, composers, etc. (just like for the cast). Also if you're going to work in the music section, then you might as well only list the individual soundtracks rather than being extremely selective with the songs (it looks incredibly sloppy in my estimation). That's why I would prefer doing a split of the Burton films and the Schumacher films (just like there's an individual one for the Christopher Nolan Batman films).

Who is a Jew - (deleted comment)

Hi, today I added a comment in the Who is a Jew discussion page. Later I noticed (at least I think) that this comment was deleted. Since I am new with all this I couldn't find the previous version in order the revert the comment.

As you were the last one to edit and archive the discussion page (and you did that today) I thought (although by no means sure) that maybe you deleted my comment.

If this is so, please explain to me kindly what or if I did something wrong. Please bear in mind that this is the first time I made a serious effort to contribute (after reading through all comments - which are pretty long) and I was extremely upset that immediately the comment was deleted. I am a newcomer so please be kind and understanding.

Thanks--Josh Is Dead (talk) 19:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Socks and puppets

I do not believe I am familiar with that acronym, but also, he's just another sock master on a long, long list of socks I've helped put to rest. I'm a seasoned sock hunter, at least as far as I can tell. I put on my hunting cap, I gather the written in stone diffs, I gather the evidence, and the sockmaster is stambed, BLOCKED. It's all in a day's work.— Dædαlus ^Contribs 07:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Independent sourcing for Elements of Fiction

I believe you have expressed the opinion that current draft of WP:FICT is too lax on the grounds that independent sources are required to demonstrate that an element of fiction is in some way notable. Instead, could you accept the arguement that an element of fiction that is the subject of substantial real-world coverage from a reliable source could demonstrate notability at some point in the future? It would not be unreasonable to assume that if there is good quality coverage from sources that are not independent, then an element of fiction may be important enough for independent commentators to write about it as well. If you agree this may be the case, then perhaps we can compromise on the current draft of WP:FICT, and this guideline can be rolled out for community approval. I feel agreement on this version is close, so I would be grateful if you could give serious consideration to making you willingness to compromise on this point at WT:FICT.--Gavin Collins (talk) 10:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for being WP:BOLD

You'll be on the attack list next after your action. Oh well. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 00:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Two Face edit

Nah not that I can see, just stuff about using multiple cameras for them motion capture. Nothing about going through filming it twice. †he Bread³⁰⁰⁰ 03:24, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

WP:FICT

I don't know what to say. Your accusations are off base. Please either assume good faith or take a break from the discussion and come back when you can engage more calmly. Phil Sandifer (talk) 17:11, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

I'm good friends with Betsy's Voice and Lilo and Stitch star Daveigh Chase we met in MySpace and she told me that they are currently working on Season 2 of Betsy's Kindergarten Adventures which starts on August or September and they were working on episodes of Season 2 like Betsy Has a Cold, Betsy is Late for School, Grandparents Day, Betsy Makes a New Friend, and much much more. This is true i'm serious she told me that they're working on new episodes. Mayme08 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:57, 19 January 2009 (UTC).

Inferior education

You misunderstand my point when I say Well (Moral) Objectivism is a widely understood concept outside (well depending on your education) the US - I'm not commenting in the slightest about the american education system - I'm saying it's a widely understood concepts by those who have studied higher degrees in other nations in the right subjects - especially the UK where I was a prof. So I wouldn't automatically expect someone from London who didn't go to university to have come across any of the concepts. It's not really an either/or for us because Rand's stuff isn't widely taught at universities, well it's not taught at all really except as a footnote to say "not to be confused with..." --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:45, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Just calm down a bit will you. No one is saying that American education is inferior, but making the simple point that Rand is little known outside of the US and that Objectivism means something completely different in academic philosophy, especially outside of the US. --Snowded TALK 16:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Thuran, easy tiger. Cameron and others have made clear their POV and bias. Just let it stand and stick to the content issues at hand. Don't sink to the level of ad hominem attacks and sarcasm that these editors seem to relish. Being a party to the reveling in ignorance that sometimes goes on is upsetting I know, but such is life. There's no need to get into the mud with the pigs. :) Cheers. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Well that is a revealing edit. I must admit to an increasing interest in the sociology of this particular belief system. --Snowded TALK 17:46, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

What the hell are you talking about? ThuranX (talk) 17:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh sorry, I thought it was self-evident. I have a long term interest in minority belief systems and self-reinforcement. I only came to the Rand pages as a result of a bit of vandalism on the Philosophy article and stayed to get some form of balance in place (still trying on that). I can't say its enjoyable, but there has been an interesting side benefit for my research on complex adaptive systems, pervert belief structures (I am using pervert in the Lancian not the sexual sense by the way) and aspects of cognitive filtering. The material on these pages is proving useful source data for a paper or two. --Snowded TALK 18:01, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Red Hulk Identity Edits

If you look in the history, the 'characterization' section (which I altered to identity recently) was already a source of contention and it was decided it would stay. This was MONTHS before you came along and made the edit (without giving a reason).

When you clarified, you suggest the section has "innuendo" or "speculation" - it was fact that Quesada referenced it in an interview, and it is fact that the identity is unknown. Leaving the section as is gives no speculation as to the identity, but instead clears up rumors.

Please leave it alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Apoklyptk (talk • contribs) 13:36, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey did you see that like, immediately someone edited that section with speculation? That's what I was worried about. Can we maybe come up with something (grammatically) better together that says something like "At this point Red Hulk's identity has been hinted at to be several different characters, but the actual identity has yet to be revealed."? What are your thoughts?

I think it would be necessary to discourage further additions of who people think it might be.

Lord knows all this "notability" stuff is going to be Wikipedia's end one day. If this isn't good enough for you, then I don't know what is. And no, I don't need to be reprimanded on "policies". Blue Mirage (talk) 04:55, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Thanks for the clarification. Would you like me to remove my comments? -- Avi (talk) 01:20, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

There is no a straw poll being conducted at WT:FICT#Starting Fresh and I would be grateful if you would make your views known. --Gavin Collins (talk) 21:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Foul Language on the Red Hulk Page

Thuranx, could you please tone down the language in this discussion and in your edit comments? I understand how frustrating it can be and I know I am betraying how lame I am but that language is kind of offensive. Besides, please remember that this is a page on a comic book -- There will be children reading it -- Hmm, after writing this, I realize that that is what was bothering me. If this were a Marvel MAX title or some such, it wouldn't bother me, but come on: it's the Hulk. --Bertrc (talk) 23:35, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: [2] TVM. It had been a long day, and I guess the edit comments [3] exhausted me a bit (to be honest, I didn't really care about the discussion) Thanks for the links. I'm still working my way through the wiki-policies[4] (and the syntax for creating links) Heh, somehow, I don't think you'll find many far right christians reading "Red Hulk". --Bertrc (talk) 15:13, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
