Evan Lee Dahl

Thanks for improving the page. I still don't think it makes an assertion of notability, but I won't re-add the nn-bio tag. However...

He's an extra. I checked his IMDb page, and he has only a few non-big roles. I'm listing the page on WP:AFD, so I welcome you to vote there. Sorry about going against you on this one. If you still want to improve the page, feel free; I've been known to change my vote on a few AFDs. Deltabeignet 23:54, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

List of notable films

Thanks for your contributions to the list of notable films, but I fear that you may have missed the idea behind the page. The idea is to remove pages that have been covered so that the list is ultimately reduced to nothing. Blue links are supposed to be removed, and articles created for the redlinks. You don't need to fix the links, only remove them if there is an article that covers the film. If you are feeling generous, you can also create a redirect if it is a common misspelling e.g.(#Redirect [[Target article]]), though you probably don't need to create one for Boot, Das because it is unlikely that someone would type that in the search box. Thanks again for your contributions. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 20:40, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

you probably won't mind if I just remove the redlinks that have a page with another name instead of replacing them with another name from now on?

You'd be doing me (and the project) a favor if you removed them. I understand that you have only been correcting malformed links, but it not necessary if it's going to be removed. One criteria that we started using at the list of notable albums|album list is not removing the film if it doesn't include a infobox, so at least these important movies are standardized. I don't know how standard or non-standard infoboxes are for films, so it's up to you if that should be a removal criteria. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 21:20, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for continuing to trim and creating info for this project. Unfortunately I've been busy with the list of notable albums to help you with the films, but again, if you are feeling generous, you can start labelling movies within the page why they weren't removed or what work needs to be done. For example, see page 3 of that list. Gflores has been creating the infoboxes, while Jacqui_M and I have been trimming and creating articles. Thanks --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 21:12, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Meelick hurling club

Hi, There's an assertion of notability Meelick hurling club was founded in 1884 and is one of the oldest clubs in the country - that's admittedly fairly marginal but I'd be prepared to wikify and clean the article. However there's no point if it's going to be deleted. So I guess the question is would you be prepared to change your vote if it were cleaned? No problem if not - it'd be saving me some work :-) Dlyons493 Talk 11:11, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

• • Thanks for the reply. I've passed the substance of what you suggested on to their PRO - let her decide how notable she feels the club to be!

Would like some help

Hi man, can you help me with my articles, syntax-wise. Thanks for the compliment. Both articles I wrote were subcategories of Baguazhang. I was hoping someone would link it to mine.

Maddox Jolie-Pitt

I would agree that normally someone isn't notable simply because of their parents, but in this case, it's kind of borderline - the name's been floating around the media recently. People are going to search for the name, and we might as well just leave the article as is - a one-liner that links to parents. Put it up for AfD if you want though. Enochlau 02:15, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Tag

Thank you for the info, even though I already knew. It was the other user that put the tag on my page after I tagged with a pov an article called Casa Zimbabwe which he seemingly doesn't want to be pov-reviewed. Lincher 12:18, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

It's all clear now, gotta remind myself to give tons of information when I place a tag. Lincher 12:25, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

infobox

I noticed you're adding support for alternate titles of the fields. Could you also include the fields to make it possible to change cinematography to cinematographer and editing to editor to be more in line with every other field in the template? Thanks. - Bobet 22:15, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

I changed the fields I did to fit with other infoboxs, and so as to use one word parameters as much as possible. The cinematography and editing fields seem unambiguous. Switching to singular noun "editor" may not be a good way to go, since that's often done by more than one person. -- Netoholic @ 22:23, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

The movie title is intentionally outside the box, because proper table formatting says that should be the table caption. Bring up any concerns on that talk page before jumping into a reversion... I've worked with templates and especially infoboxs quite a lot. -- Netoholic @ 22:25, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks...

for fixing Movie infobox... would you be willing to help request a bot to fix the thing? Thanks again Steve-O 14:05, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

DB-move

Thanks for your message. I realized that I screwed up the template and redirect shortly after logging off but didn't get online again until lately; the template db-g9 now appears to redirect correctly. Stifle 21:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

sorry I think I must have accidentally edited an older version of the page. I put the infobox and the other info back ---- Astrokey44|talk 22:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Japan-film-stub

Sorry about that. I meant to use noinclude not includeonly, so the effect was the reverse of what I wanted, which was only the template being sorted as *. Unfortunately, those articles will need a null edit to get placed into the category in their proper place now. Caerwine Caerwhine 02:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

The Virus

Thanks for the heads up! I do care about this, and I tried to improve the article. Maybe you will vote keep on this one? :) Punkmorten 22:22, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Ikiru

On my browser at work (800x600), it was jammed up again the Infobox on the lefthand side. It's a real pain to place images where they won't be hideously distorted by every browser. I find it's best to put the first image on a movie page either on the righthand side or WAY down so that doesn't happen. Keep up the good work. Palm_Dogg 23:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

New York and Atlantic

I've redirected it. Can you close the AfD? (or can I?) Agnte 17:09, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I closed it. Hopefully no one will complain. - Bobet 17:17, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

I posted a reply on the AFC page. Thanks for the help. CrypticBacon 22:09, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

CSD templates

OK. Mark's changes were putting the templates themselves into the categories. I thought the changes by User:Pathoschild has fixed this issue. I'll look at it and if I can't find a solution quickly I'll revert my reversions.... Sorry for the disturbance. Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 09:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Are you sure about this? I just tagged Aline Barros for {{db-copyvio}}, and she shows up in CAT:CSD. I wonder if it's a caching issue, as often happens with multi-layer templates. I'm looking into it. Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 09:32, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

• You're right that db-copyvio works and db-bio doesn't. Again I thought User:Pathoschild's tweak fixed this; I'm going to try to make this thing work...
• No I think I found the problem. Back to you in a few... Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 09:48, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
• OK, I've fix everything but the A7's. They are more difficult because there are child templates. The deal is that when {{db-reason}} is called normally, it puts the article into CAT:CSD. But with Pathoschild's tweaks, the other CSD templates call {{db-reason}} in such a way as to disable the category insertion... this way the templates themselves don't get put into CAT:CSD. But this also means that the articles the templates are used in ALSO don't get into CAT:CSD.  :( Someone forgot to put in something like <includeonly>[[Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]]</includeonly> into the new CSD templates, and I propagated that error. Mark tried to fix it; but his fix would have put the templates into CAT:CSD as well. I think I've done the right thing here, except for the A7s. I need a few more minutes to do something more sophisticated on those. Meanwhile let me know if the other (non-A7) templates appear to work... Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 10:03, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
• Finally! Everything is fixed. I walked all the "what links here" for all the templates, and null-edited all the main-namespace pages I found there, so they should all categorize into CAT:CSD correctly. Sorry about the hassle. I'll write a note one Mark's and User:Pathoschild's user pages to let them know what happened. Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 10:49, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Category:Opera Houses and Opera Houses

I don't know why you removed an opera house from the category of opera houses.

I'm new to this and did not create these groupings, have just been trying to clean them up and make some sense of them.

SO - if you type in "Opera Houses" in the search box, you will find a list.

Similarly, if you type in "Category:Opera houses", you will also find a list organized differently.

Now, whether this is the best way to organize them, I'm not sure. But removing an opera house will simply remove it from a legitimate list.

South Revision.

Hello,

The note you left on the South stub prompted me to tweak its content. Let me know if the concern you had is addressed by the update.

FYI:In the meantime, I am trying to reach Phelan for additional information. Folajimi^(talk)

Thanks for the timely reply; it is greatly appreciated. Thanks for the update you provided to the article as well. Hopefully, I can get a response regarding additional information, sooner rather than later...

Based on the link you provided, I was able to find some more useful information (I hope.) Please let me know what you think about the state of the stub. Folajimi^(talk)

How did you get a tidy URL for the AMG link for South? It usually comes out ugly for me! Folajimi 02:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)^(talk)

My RfA

I have decided to withdraw my nomination, due to growing oppose votes due to my lack of experence (and because of userboxes?). I will now aim to continue, and broadern my scope from userboxes.

re: Galdogob

I had forgotten what I had written at Talk:Galdogob. I'm not even sure that the place even exists, but that is only based on me not finding any verifiable data on the internet. Yes, maybe just remove the numbers completely; when they come back to edit again, simply revert based on the lack of a source. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:07, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Please accept my embarrassingly belated thank you for supporting my RfA, which much to my surprise passed 102/1/1, earning me minor notoriety.

deletion of Category:User watchlists

( Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_January_15#Category:User_watchlists ). See m:Share watchlists for rationale. Had I noticed it was up for deletion, it would have received at least one keep vote. I plan to either recreate the same category (is there a forum for category undeletion?), or recreate a more aptly named category at your suggestion. cc: User_talk:Radiant!. ∴ here…♠ 22:02, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

List of best-selling music artists

Hi, there's no content dispute on the article, just vandalism (sprotect might be better). A bunch of anon IPs, most probably the same person, keep reverting it to the same 2 month old version that has Jazzy B on top with 100 billion records sold. - Bobet 17:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Cohan

Hi, if you're going to say I can't vote speedy keep on it, please at least choose a reasoning that disputes my original comment. I clearly had stated that I believe the nomination to be in bad faith, hence the vote. - Bobet 17:00, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I don't dispute that the nomination was in bad faith (I have no opinion either way on it, to be precise), but a speedy keep also requires that "nobody disputes this or votes to delete it anyway", and this does not apply here. Stifle 17:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

I would like to thank you for participating in my rfa, and for raising concerns which, I must admit, were completely valid. I will do my best to act on them, and work towards being a better editor. If there is anything I can ever do for you dont hesitate to ask! All the best Banez

Interested in adminship?

Would you be interested in adminship? I kept an eye on your contributions after helping out with the list of notable films and seen that you have really come along as an editor and vandal fighter. You have all of the criteria that most members are looking for in an admin and I would gladly sponsor your candidacy. Of course it looks like it wouldn't change your role too much since it looks like you already have use of the rollback button, but it still does have it's benefits. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 15:30, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I wouldn't mind. As long as other people don't think it's too soon, but that would be for the RFA and not me to decide. - Bobet 15:42, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

If you would like to be absolutely sure about your nom, you can wait until the end of the month so that you have 3 solid months of edits (not that 600 edits in November is anything to sneeze at) [1]. You have all the right criteria for a great admin, I don't think you have anything to worry about, unless there is some skeleton in the closet that I don't know about. Decision is up to you, but I think you will have no problems. --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 16:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

lol, I almost suggested this one before, but I think a lot of people might oppose it who would support you in a couple of months time; that said, you'd have my vote Robdurbar 16:49, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

a request

G'day Bobet,

I notice you've been doing some great work with RC patrolling. Hurrah! I do have a request, though. If you must use those templates come Hell or high water, can you please not put the type of template you're using in the edit summary? I'm sure the warnings are much less effective when you scream "I'M USING A TEMPLATE, I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY" while you use them. What do you think? Cheers, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:56, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
