Hi

Why do you have to revert every edit made to the Daedalus article?

Please leave your messages below, I will reply (on your talk page) as fast as I can. Matthew 18:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I took the plunge!

Well, as of a few hours ago, I took the plunge and joined the Simple Wikipedia.. This is me.. Also, we should fix up The 4400 article that I'm going to create in the next few minutes.. I really hope you want to help me, but I will not be offended if you don't xD .. Have a nice night there, you cool UK person (I LOVE THE U.K. :P )..

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Medium.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Medium.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 01:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Your vote on SEWikipedia

I've now closed User:J Di's RfA on Simple English. J Di was not promoted, at 50% support. In the interests of fairness, I decided not to count votes from users which have not made any edits to the Simple English Wikipedia except to oppose the RfA, so your vote was not counted in the final result. If you have any questions at all regarding this or anything else, please direct them to my Simple English talk page. Thanks, Archer7 18:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Desperate Housewives

Agreed on "recurring" - that was a term that had been slipping thru the edits and ought to be removed - still; "Starring", "Also Starring" and "Guest Starring" are very valid terms. If you for some reason wanna delete this details for the article I suggest you put it up for suggestion on the talk page.Pjär80 22:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Colours for Buffy articles

Why have you just gone ahead and changed all the colours related to the Buffyverse with no discussion at all. Really you should have proposed the change and explained why it should be changed rather than just going ahead and doing it.--NeilEvans 20:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: The Fleet

That's the back of the Gemini I believe - you can tell by the colored cargo pods. Cyberia23 20:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

There is no CGI in Blake's 7 - It was made in late 1970's to 1980 and all models :) If you've seen Doctor Who, the original series - not the new one, it's comparable to that. Even though the special effects are primitive it was very interesting show. Cyberia23 20:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the BBC had a limited budget back in the day, but the new Dr. Who which they also make is really well done with the latest CGI technology. Cyberia23 20:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded a new Gemini screen shot by the way. I figured out how to capture DVD clips with my laptop. Cyberia23 20:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

For the longest time I struggled with WinDVD and Microsoft Media Player using various screen cap programs but I'd always get a black box instead of the video image I wanted. I found out the problem was because DVD's play in a special video layer separate from your desktop. The trick was to force the DVD player to play video in the same layer as your desktop which hurt performance and made the movie choppy - yet I was still unable to get a capture since WinDVD refused to play without the layer active, and I updated to Media Player 11 and it's settings are different from Media Player 10 and below which allowed you to deactivate layers. I ended up using Snag It 8 - which allows you to catch images from the DVD layer using Active X. Now it works. Cyberia23 21:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

FTL (Battlestar Galactica)

Hey, I changed the image you made of the Galactica entering FTL. You just had the flash showing - I thought it would be better to show both the ship and the flash at the same time.

Did you change user accounts by the way? Cyberia23 21:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Did you notice the goof in that particular scene? Prior to the jump, Galactica closed it's hangar pylons - even Tigh said they must be closed or they can't jump - however, in the jump scene, the hangar pylons are fully extended. Ronald D. Moore admitted the mistake in the commentary on the DVD. Cyberia23 21:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I need a big favour!

Hey, Matthew, um, I really like the format of List of The 4400 episodes and I was wondering if you could do that for List of Tru Calling episodes, I mean by removing the screenshots from the list page.. I am doing this for a few reasons, 1-Screenshots can take long to load for dial-up, 2-I've been much too lazy to add correct fair use rationale and reduce size, so I'm setting all of these images for deletion.. So, while you do that, I will be setting the images for deletion and removing reference to them on the individual episode pages, just to let you know that I'll be working too :P .. If you decide to do it, drop by on my talk page :) .. Thanks alot, and I'll owe you :P .. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 22:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

IM'ing

Nothing against you or anything, but I dislike IM's. I don't like being bothered when I'm online. Same reason why I refuse to own a cell phone and I know too many obnoxious people who'd call me constantly if I did. Cyberia23 23:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Flags

Matthew - re: your revert at Galactica, it's not an issue. However, when did you change your mind about flags? Seems to me you used to add them to the infoboxes. (Noticed you changed your ID, by the way. Makes sense to keep the surname "dark" on the Internet.) Cheers. --Ckatz^chat_spy 08:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Manufacturers

Hi, I'm inclined to reject your assertion. Neither is registry a bounded relationship for e.g. for a starfighter. And if you look into my change before revert, you would see the string "Manufacturer(s)". -- Ylai 08:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding your reply: No, it is not necessarily unimportant. The fictional setting can lend the importance regarding the manufacturer in term of the narrative context, which I in fact would argue in the case of SAaB. -- Ylai 09:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

WP:NPA

Your patronising comment is clearly ad hominem and hence counts as a personal attack. Note that the list of examples on WP:NPA (I persume this is what you're referrring to?) is not exhuastive. Please direct your comments towards the substance and not the contributor in future- and you might also have a look at WP:TALK for your reference. All the best, Badgerpatrol 10:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

You may wish to get a better dictionary (although Urban Dictionary is always fun- I particularly liked def. #3 "When something bad happens to someone and you honestley dont give a piss"- surely the height of erudition??). This definition was given by the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (not a patch on urban dic in terms of reliability, of course....)

" exclamation UK HUMOROUS something you say to show that you feel no sympathy for someone who is behaving like a child: He called you a bad name, did he? Ah, diddums!".

I would say that ridiculing someone who has a fair point per WP:TALK and implying that are "behaving like a child" counts as a personal attack- wouldn't you? Please don't do it again. Badgerpatrol 11:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:LostNav

I'm afraid I have reverted your edit as it didn't work properly on 800x600 - it still appears with Kate and Walt on seperate lines. Number 57 09:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I have tried it on two different 800x600 monitors (different makes etc), and your version does not fit properly - the top line of "main characters" does not fit, and leaves kate on a seperate line. The same also happens to the second line of main characters. Number 57 10:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Perhaps you are using small/smallest text size in your internet browswer when viewing on 800x600? This is the only reason I can think of that allows you too see the whole template without line breaks? Number 57 10:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I should have said that I tested it on two different computers (which have two different monitors). I can't imagine how you can see it fine on an 800x600 unless your text size setting is smaller or smallest. As you can see on the screenshot (which also proves the resolution is 800x600), it doesn't fit.

File:LostNavTemplateScreenShot.jpg

800x600 resolution - note the broken lines

Also, I haven't broken the 3RR as my first edit was not a revert but a new attempt to fix the problem. Number 57 10:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Any suggestions on how it can be done? Perhaps setting the text size in the template to 95%? Also, I don't understand why Libby is classed as a main character whilst Rose is not... Number 57 10:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Sadly not - the 4400 template also produces broken lines (which I have now fixed). I don't think it is a good idea to make such a major change as there are quite a few other people editing the Lost template and I don't think it would go down very well! Number 57 11:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Your new version still breaks the top line of main characters - Jordan Collier appears on the second line on his own. I am intrigued - what combination of screen/text size do you use? The edit I made fitted on 800x600 and 1024x768! Number 57 11:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm afraid it has made it worse - now the Production, Main Characters, Elements and Miscellaneous lines are all broken. The template needs to be the maximum width allowed in Wikipedia at 800x600 to fit it all in. Number 57 11:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the 4400 one is fine now :) Progress! Number 57 11:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

I think the best effort so far was this one, which could be broken after Kate as long as the left hand column can be fixed to remain the same width (putting in < br > as it is means the left hand column widens and ruins it!) Number 57 11:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

What do you think about the current version? Number 57 11:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Another slight tweak. Number 57 11:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Not even 8 Hours!

Not even 8 hours left until the programme finale of Stargate SG-1! I can't wait :) , I should be positive it's ending, I mean, we still get those DVD movies later, plus 214 episodes is alot :P .. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 12:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

You used to be Matthew Fenton right? What happened? I see this is a whole new account. And if you don't mind me asking, what happened after your request for adminship was denied? Something about vanishing.

Don't bite the newbies, Matthew. A novice user who in good faith removes off-topic threads to a talk page shouldn't be doing that, but is in no way a {{blatantvandal}}. >Radiant< 09:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding removing user comments

Someone told me not to remove other people's comments from talk pages, even if I think they're off-topic, because it's not nice. Just thought you should know that, too--89.32.1.82 09:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, do I know you by chance?--89.32.1.82 11:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that's me. You know, an ip adress is not the same thing as a person.

Have a nice day, btw.--89.32.1.82 11:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

ZPM Note

I restored the quote to the way it was before the anon messed with it and turned it into pure speculation. The ZPM was heavily depleted in the course of the episode and this was stated, and it was not identified if the ZPM was depleted or not in the course of the episode, at the VERY least, the note that the ZPM was drained, should remain, even if the second half of the note should be removed - Count23 11:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thor

Hey, do you know if Thor appeared in Reckoning, Part Two? Thanks-Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 17:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh okay, thanks, I thought he did appear in Pt. Two as well, perhaps I'll re-watch that episode tonight (great episode).. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 17:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

future-felgercarb warning

Why you undid it in the List of Prison Break episodes? Season 2 contains many upcoming episodes with reviews from the Futon Critic. Moreover, the list of Lost episodes has the same warning. -- Magioladitis 13:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Why not? The summary changes vert often until we watch the episodes and for one more reason: many people add unconfirmed info and this is a goos warning before we remove it. --Magioladitis 13:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Chech this: Category for lists of upcoming episodes of a television series that are planned to be filmed/aired in the near future, and have been officially announced by either the production company or the television station.. So it is exactly our case. -- Magioladitis 13:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

For me it's clear that if such a warning should be both in Lost and Prison Break or in none. This warning have been made exactly for listing all the upcoming episodes. I'll put the warning exactly before the upcoming episodes just for you to show. Please tell me your opinion. Friendly, Magioladitis 14:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you in general believe that this tag is uneccessary or only for the specific shows? I think it's a way to know which show are running this season. I see that are many shows tagged with this "warning" -- Magioladitis 14:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. Of course, i still haven't convinced 100% what it's the best to do but at least now what the things you describe make more sense to me :) -- Magioladitis 14:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

FYI re: Stargate "Unending"

Matthew: Just so you know, I've restored the note about Michael Shanks' voice to Unending. While we're generally trying to avoid trivia, that particular note is an opportunity to illustrate some of the ways the show's creators add "in-jokes" to the program. The text is worded in a way that doesn't speculate as to the intent, but instead allows the reader to come to his or her own conclusions. Cheers. --Ckatz^chat_spy 17:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The Son Also Rises

Hey, can you change the image of Baltar reading the note to an image of Lampkin. A few people are requesting it be changed or an image of him added to the article. He technically was the main focus of that episode. Cyberia23 05:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)‎.

I didn't think the YouTube link was allowed; that's why I removed it the first time. The IP re-added it not too long after I had got rid of it. I'm glad you removed it this time. Acalamari 20:24, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Grey's Anatomy

I see. my bad. But should Grey's Anatomy episodes (Season 3) article be changed to reflect this? It's kinda weird that canada airs before US, this being a US prog. Well, if you are sure, than okay, because I dont live in the states, nor canada. =)

Kays! =) GavinTing 15:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Primeval. Present or past?

When I edited Primeval and changed the original run 'last_aired' to today (March 17, 2007), you changed it back with the reason "Still present, series two has been ordered". I disagree. While series two has been ordered, and this is to be noted, the last_aired needs to be changed. However this is my own personall opinion. If it was noted that a second series is coming in 2008, Wouldn't it be better if it was changed? Scottie Too Hottie7 21:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Question about The Friendly Skies

Just wondering... what made you decide that this article satisfies WP:N? I still can't see any references that show that ""A topic is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject."

And.... you also deleted the {{unreferenced}} tag, without adding references to the article. Why? --Alvestrand 22:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

If the episode is the source, is it possible to give a citation for that? Either who published it on DVD, or network-and-date-of-transmission? I don't feel good about having nothing that looks like a citation - if I were to invent an episode of a TV show you had never heard of, and inserted it as a Wikipedia article, how would you go about verifying it? --Alvestrand 03:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Tense

Firstly, I apologise for reverting 4 times. I hadnt realised I'd got to 4. I certainly don't want to get into an edit was about this. I will change Crossroads, Eldorado etc back, but after that I will leave it. I do feel a bit victimised the way you took the ones I listed as examples and then changed them to suit you. These had been happily at past tense for a while and it is totally unnecessary to change them. --Berks105 17:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Do you ever listen to anyone? A neutral editor has come in and suggested you cool it. Instead you ignore them and carry on regardless. That is no way to behave on Wikipedia. --Berks105 17:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Please be civil to other users/admins. There is no reason to resort to such incivility. Please try to stay calm and keep a cool head. Skult of Caro (talk) 18:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Matthew, I'd like to apologise if at any point I seemed agressive or rude over at The Vicar of Dibley. It certainly wasn't my intention (I'm more interested in not letting this spiral out of control), and I didn't mean to insinuate anything regarding your membership of WP:IS NOT WAS. Happy editing! Farosdaughter 18:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Will you please ban this guy from Wikipedia?

Will you please ban this user[1] from Wikipedia? He keeps editing the airdate of the Grey's Anatomy episode My Favorite Mistake!! Now, I know for a fact that the correct airdate of that episode is March 29, 2007. However, the user I am referring to keeps editing the airdate to March 22, 2007, William Shatner's birthday!! So please ban that user from Wikipedia forever so that I don't have anymore problems, OK? Thank you very much. AdamDeanHall 20:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually it appears that he is right, not you. [2] And besides nobody will ever ban anybody for disagreeing with you, it's a content dispute. — MichaelLinnear 01:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi

How dare you revert my edits. Cant u see i was trying to help. :(

Daedalus class

You want proof that the ship has missiles? Hello, we have seen it fire missiles multiple times. We have seen that they are visibly set up in a VLS setup as they launch from flush points in the hull rather then from missile launchers.

Please read Category:Television program cancellations by year before removing these categories

Please do not remove subcategories of Category:Television program cancellations by year from articles. This scheme is used for all programs regardless of the reason for the series end. Per the category description:

This is a set of subcategories of television programs by the year of cancellation, based on the broadcast date of the final original episode. These programs are listed regardless of whether the cancellation decisions were made by the broadcasters or the producers.

In other words it is not just for network cancellations, but for any series which has ended its original run. Dugwiki 15:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

One more thing, if you feel the category scheme's name is misleading, and would prefer something like "Category:Television program series ends by year", I'd recommend making that suggestion at WP:CFD. Dugwiki 15:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Matthew replies -

It matters not if the category's creator set that as its goal, obviously that goal is disputed - and - has no consensus backing it, to conclude: do not reinsert without a consensus and a verifiable source it was cancelled, barring that you'll more then likely be reverted, again. Matthew 15:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The goal is not disputed. It is clearly part of the overall scheme of including years of establishment/disestablishment of entities and works as category tags. If you feel the scheme doesn't have consensus, please feel free to direct me to a link indicating the dispute. Also, if you feel the category scheme should be altered, please feel free to bring it up at WP:CFD.

But barring that, you have to go by the clear instructions in the category for categorization. Dugwiki 15:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Just to follow-up, I went ahead and did a full rename nomination for this category scheme to make it "Television program series endings by year". That should remove any ambiguity in the title. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 March 22#Category:Television program cancellations by year for the cfd thread. So far the responses agree with the proposed rename, so hopefully once that rename is completed the issue will be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Dugwiki 17:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Spamming?

Sorry. I was adding what I thought were relevant external links to articles featuring relevant, original content.

Stargate Universe

Aargh... you out-typed me on the SU page. (Thanks, BTW.) I've made a few more tweaks, since you caught most of what I was changing anyways. Bad title, eh? --Ckatz^chat_spy 09:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

No need to revert... the italics code doesn't do anything in the O4 template, and the older text implies that there are other series that weren't produced by MGM. (Reword as you like, but please avoid the old MGM text as part of the first sentence.) --Ckatz^chat_spy 09:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

And yes, something new would be nice - especially a new storyline! I think they've kind of lost their way over the past few years - the show needs to get back to what it's really good at, which is the "small" stories as in the earlier seasons. Cheers. --Ckatz^chat_spy 09:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

4400 episode

You mean to tell me that the following is unmergeable information in the 4400 infobox ?

1. producer: Not used at all
2. imdb link: already in question on the main box, so why would we put it in infoboxes for episodes
3. 4400: used 9 times and in all occasions also mentioned in the first sentence of the article

And I don't get the variable width part of your comment. As far as I can see both boxes use fixed em width's. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 21:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Tense

I know "both of" (they are actually one and the same...) these guidelines. Which doesn't preclude my disagreeing. Especially seeing as your correction introduced a typo and a bigger inconsistency: if you intend to fix the tense, at least do it across the board. Slapping cleanup templates on a FAC when you are in the process of discussing with the main contributor is not very constructive either, which I why I swept it off. Circeus 14:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

But it is your duty to make sure your edits don't make the article worse. And knowingly making tense inconsistent inside a sentence does just that. Circeus 15:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Change of username

I notice that you've had your username changed. It would be helpful to others who have come across you in the past to make a small note of this on your userpage somewhere in the interests of transparency and accountability, seeing as there are RFA's and RFC's under your old account.

I have the DVD's bought from Amazon like it says there only 5 episodes not 6 yea it is a 2 hour but still only 5 openings and 5 credits so 5 episodes —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leftkidney (talk • contribs) 09:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

the 4400

maybe on TV there were 6 but on the DVD it plays like 5 episodes not 6 there isnt a break half way for credits so only 5 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leftkidney (talk • contribs) 09:29, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

the 4400

so edit the page to say there are only 5 on the DVD box itself

it may have ben filmed like 6 and planed as 6 but when you play it it is only 5 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Leftkidney (talk • contribs) 09:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

the 4400

an interview with the creator saying there are 6 is fine but it plays like 5 which I guess was the point when they made it

so why not edit the page to explain why there are 6 but only 5 episode names

well obviously you are a fan boy so I wont bother with this crapLeftkidney 10:17, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

RE: BSG

So you liked the ending? I dunno if I cared much for it. I was surprised when some anon user added all the unsourced spoilers to Crossroads Part II a few days ago and I deleted them as nonsense - I thought waht he said was going to happen was rediculous but then, HE WAS RIGHT! Damn... All I say is that Season Four has some serious explaining to do. Tigh was one of the last people I'd think was a Cylon. But I dunno, All Along the Watchtower was kinda weird... and Starbuck's sudden return was kinda cheesy IMO. We'll we have a who frakkin year to wait to see what happens. I'm probably going to refine the plot for the episode later how it's written now sucks - I'll do it once all the hype dies down. I can't believe how many people scrambled to get the last word in last night after the show. I just sat back and watched the chaos unfold. Cyberia23 19:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think you may be right - perhaps they are high beings of some sort, but what I found strange is during the opera house dream there were six white tapestries. I thought when D'anna saw the Final Five there were five tapestries - one for each white robed figure. Why were there six? COuld we have a 13th Cylon. I think the 12th is Roslin (she's sharing dreams with Six and Eight) or maybe Starbuck, but I'm thinking we'll find out there is a 13th as well, perhaps maybe Baltar after all. Baltar's hair and beard makes him looks like Jesus Christ, he now has worshipers who believe in him and follow him, he's gotta be something else that he doesn't realize yet. Maybe he's the anti-christ or something, but he's not human. Cyberia23 19:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the BSG movie is supposed to air this fall on Sci Fi. I heard a rumor that it may deal with what happened to Starbuck from when she disappears to when she returns. Cyberia23 20:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I removed Starbuck because the image wasn't showing up for me, I thought someone in the history deleted the image link but left the thumbnail frame so I axed it. If you can fix it then put it back I guess. Cyberia23 00:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I use Mozilla Firefox. I only keep IE because, well Windoze throws a fit if you try an delete it, and I need it for updates from Microcrap as they'll only install with Active X and IE, which doesn't work with Mozilla. Starbuck shows up now. For some reason the tag started with two "{" instead of "[[" which was probably why it wasn't showing up. I updated the article, yeah it's long as shit now, but Starbuck is there. Saying she comes back isn't a spoiler IMO, but too many people are saying that she's definitely a Cylon and nothing in the show says that. Not even RDM. All he says was Starbuck was coming back in the end. I'm not fully buying that Anders, Tory, Tigh and Tyrol are Cylons - they're probably from Earth since Tyrol says it was music from "my childhood", and that like your assumption of Baltar, maybe they're some kind of higher beings who've forgotten their past and are just now awakening memories of who they really are.

Discussion stacking

Please don't engage in discussion stacking[3]. Our decision process is substantially disrupted when people use side channels to slant discussions in their favor. It's especially bad that you are doing so with such an inaccurate and inflammatory characterization of Ed's actions. There is no rational basis for your claim that Ed's proposed language would completely prohibit screenshots from Wikipedia. Please be more considerate in the future. --Gmaxwell 16:03, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate your opinion on the boxes around the quotes; but there is nothing wrong with them. I also don't agree that there is too much white space; I think it helps separate the seasons a bit better. Please don't use your opinions are wiki guidelines. FrankWilliams 16:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

The majority of web users use IE not Firefox; it seems silly to worry about a formatting issue that occurs with small percentage of Firefox browsers. BTW: what is MOS? FrankWilliams 16:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

BTW: are you an Administrator? FrankWilliams 17:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

You can go to : http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp where stats for web browsers are listed. There stats are based on actual usage not what comes pre-installed on systems. Also, the average user tends to use Internet Explorer, since it comes preinstalled with Windows. Most do not seek out other browsers. Not saying IE is better just that most people use it. FrankWilliams 17:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

lol, he brings this argument into the discussion quoting that page ? Firefox and friends are at 36.8 % of the browser usage according to w3schools. That's well over 1/3 of the users dearest Frank :D That's not an amount any webpage editor should ignore, and definetly not wikipedia. (i'm guessing that the average FF usage under Wikipedia editors is even much higher than this average, and then we DEFINETLY shouldn't ignore it. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 19:52, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

S.S. Doomtrooper

Do you really think that a quasi-slapstick movie starring Corin Nemec in which a character is named Parker Lewis and says the line "I just can't win," leaves any speculation as to whether or not there is intent to reference Nemec's show "Parker Lewis Can't Lose"?

Daedalus

Great copyediting, but be careful to use American English for an American-based television show article, rather than traditionally British English terms like 'dialled' and 'manoeuvre'.

Left-aligning image in David Tennant

I have to say that I disagree with your edit summary reasoning. You said that having images on the left is "silly", this is something I have never heard or seen in practice in any other article, is there some strange policy? And I believe I had clear reason, three images in close sucession on the same side looks "silly" in my opinion. I'm not reverting it yet, I'm just curious as to why you think it was wrong.

Okay that's fine, I just wanted to check. I concede. Gran² 17:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Trivia template

Hello Matthew,
You wrote on my user page that notices and comments such as the trivia-notice are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. I don't see how. Can you explain that to me?

The Steven Soderbergh probably contains too much trivia. Nobody is arguing with that. So, now consensus has already been reached about the fact that the article contains too much trivia, why do we still need the template?

More important, why do we have to tell that to the general reader? If you look at the Steven Soderbergh article, hardly anything on that page is presented more prominently than the fact that that article contains a trivia section. Is that not something that would be more appropriate to discuss on the article's talk page? Johan Lont 12:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

LOE

Sorry about that, didn't see the replies. However, I'm in agreement with ed_g2s in the discussions you mentioned (and as you can see on my talk page, I consulted him about it first). I know it doesn't seem fashionable to say it but I think that the pictures add nothing and so by FUC shouldn't be there. ...adam... ^{(talk • contributions)} 23:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Woah tiger - I'm not being hot headed (although thats the first thing someone who is being hot headed says), I apologised for the slightly hasty removal and then expressed my opinion. There is no edit war (unless someone else is warring now without my knowing), I didn't revert your revert or anything of the sort - I replied on the talk page. Also, out of curiosity - where does it say that consensus overrides policy? (no sarcasm there - that was the least sarcastic wording I could find of that question.) ...adam... ^{(talk • contributions)} 23:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Thats cool. I'm still pretty new at this thing. I understand what you say about consensus - however, I think I lie in that minority. I don't actually like the policy and think that the images should stay, but I'm a big believer in free content and following the policy. I have absolutely no intention of fighting this issue though - this seems such a massive issue that there's bound to be a policy change sooner or later that will make this gray area black or gray. Thanks for the clarification though, I will save the whole of those conversations for some bedtime reading and digest them properly. ...adam... ^{(talk • contributions)} 23:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Sopranos Internet Leak

Thanks for the advice pal, I read what it said...

"If you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors."

So I have linked to a mainstream news article found on google news that indicates that this is indeed a fact that it has been leaked. So now Wikipedia is not linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work. I assume we don't have a problem now.--Barockoiiu 02:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Templates

I've reverted the addition of the "obnoxious" template to multiple articles; clearly it has no consensus for the insertion within articles, secondly it is now standardized, thirdly it has no direct purpose nor is it actually compliant/backed by any policy (you'll have to do better then appending "per WP:NOT", etc). I'd advise you to get consensus to insert that template within articles, it is disputed. Matthew 17:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry no - you aren't a vigilante of Wikipedia - you say all of those things yet the discussion is still going on. When a page is nominated for deletion - do you delete the page first and delete the links to that page before it's actually discussed and agreed upon - no, that's absolute crap and you should know better.Daniel()Folsom |\^T/|\_C/|\^U/|^{(Can you help me with my signature?)} 17:28, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

The lack of consensus would be you removing it in the first placeDaniel()Folsom |\^T/|\_C/|\^U/|^{(Can you help me with my signature?)}

Actually I did not mean to misrepresent your comments and I have not - pointing out a flaw wouldn't be misrepresenting. However, I will say that I am unsure of which edit yo urefer to when you say "Your edit to pages insertting that templates". If you mean the first time - then yes, by that logic you would delete the article and links to the article before the consensus to delete was reached (and return the article if the conensus was keep). If you mean the second time (after you removed them) - then the comment above applies.Daniel()Folsom |\^T/|\_C/|\^U/|^{(Can you help me with my signature?)} 17:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not re-adding the template because frankly you would delete them again, and also the consensus you described would lead to an off-topic discussion at the TFDDaniel()Folsom |\^T/|\_C/|\^U/|^{(Can you help me with my signature?)} 17:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

References

Please provide more of a reasoning. WikiProject Television considers TV.com a reliable source for television information like production codes.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Where is the unreliability of TV.com? You're using IMDb.com on all those individual episode pages. I see TV.com on the Pilot's page and the other pages.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

BTW, your other supporter Peregrine agreed on the new format. This new format also got the list featured status. Since an admin didn't find that TV.com meets WP:RS, there is no reason to remove them.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I apologize about assuming Tom was an admin. I thought only admins could do the "approved" stage. I wasn't aware that they had it set up like GAC. As for the "you're", I was meaning the universal "you", but, you specifically haven't gone to those pages for clean up. That isn't your job, I know that, but creating almost 100 more isn't going to solve the problem with the other pages. As for the Prod Codes, I'll search for a better source, and if I cannot find one then I will remove that column of information.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I've ignored it. But I do see where I misinterpreted what you were saying, or I think I see. You were calling the seasonal pages "disgusting" (if true, then I agree). If you couldn't find any prod code with RS, then I'll go ahead and remove them. As for the images. Since I removed the plots, for article size purposes, I figured I should remove the images. Also, almost all of the images have Kryptonsite on them. I plan (I still have another 3 weeks of spring semester) to go through my DVDs and screen capture the same images again, so that they don't have kryptonsite on them. Also, it's much easier to prove fair use for 22 images in one article, than it is for 127 images. The season pages need better formatting. There are 127 episodes, as of right now, and even you have to admit that you won't be able to provide enough substance, reliably, for every one. I'm thinking that those seasonal companion books that Craig Burn, and Paul Simpson, created will probably have production information in them. I don't know for sure because I've never actually come across one personally.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Spamming

"Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion.

I wasn't spamming, and I think you are extraordinarily rude for throwing that term at me on my User Talk page. I didn't post the link, but when I looked at it, it seemed to me that the interview with Hatch nicely augmented the article, which is why I put it back. I remind you of WP:LAWYER and WP:OWN, and request you to not plaster my page with any more false, inappropriate, and unfortunately-unremovable-according-to-Wikipedia-rules warnings.
