==A potential chat session with [[Bill Oakley]]== |
|||
We at the Simpsons WikiProject have managed to get into contact with the one and only Bill Oakley (who showran The Simpsons from season 7 to 8) and he has agreed to send us some images and to do an IRC chat in the future with us so that we can ask questions about things that we can use in articles. The transcript of this chat will hopefully be posted at [[NoHomers.net]], which I think will be a good enough sorce. Failing that, we'll try [[The Simpsons Archive]]. Every member is more than welcome to take part, which will be held at our #wpsimpsons channel. Because not everyone will be able to make the chat, a page has been made where any member can post questions that can be asked. Remember, no fan questions, and due to a lack of time, try to limit it to ones that will help improve an article. That page is [[Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Questions for Bill Oakley|here]]. If you have any questions, ask myself, [[User:Xihix|Xihix]] (who is the one in contact with him) or post it at [[WT:DOH]], which is where any future updates will be posted. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|Scorpion]]<sup>[[user talk:Scorpion0422|0422]]</sup> 02:56, 30 January 2008 (UTC) |

== Work in progress, Fictional places of Eddings, would you help == |
|||
'''Hello Adolphus79'''...Would you be interested in helping with an article/list about the [[User:Lady Aleena/Fictional places of Eddings|fictional places of the works of the Eddings]] that I am currently writing in my user space? I really don't know what to do with it, but if you were willing to help me with it, that would be great! If no one thinks it is worth it, I will just get rid of it. Pop on over if you want. - [[User:Lady Aleena|LA]] @ 06:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC) |

==Fair use rationale for Image:Adffactsandfictions.jpg== |
|||
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Adffactsandfictions.jpg]]'''. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|criteria for non-free content]], but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to [[:Image:Adffactsandfictions.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]]. |
|||
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. [[User:STBotI|STBotI]] ([[User talk:STBotI|talk]]) 15:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
== August == |
|||
Earlier you reverted a change to the August page. In fact the change was correct. The page clearly states Augustus did not steal the days from February. If you read through the given link you will find out the page does in fact state Sacrobosco's theory regarding the months length was proven wrong (see below). |
|||
edit: no offense though :) |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
The Julian reform set the lengths of the months to their modern values. However, a 13th century scholar, Sacrobosco, proposed a different explanation for the lengths of Julian months which is still widely repeated but is '''certainly wrong'''. |

Sorry if I was snippy about the citation, but I figure that a citation to a web link would take only a minute, and removes any future questions about notability or not. [[User:Plazak|Plazak]] ([[User talk:Plazak|talk]]) 22:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC) |

Hello, Adolphus79! I have received your June 7th welcome message on My Talk page welcoming me to Wikipedia. That was very kind and sincere of you. So far, I have enjoyed Wikipedia pretty well and I am still adapting to it. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to chat with me, please feel free to contact me. Thank you. :-) |

== Comedy Clubs == |

Why did you delete my post about Takeout Comedy? It is the first and only fulltime comedy club in Asia. [[User:Gchuva|Gchuva]] ([[User talk:Gchuva|talk]]) 07:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC) |

I have created a stub for Takeout Comedy to show that they are worthy of wikipedia. [[User:Gchuva|Gchuva]] ([[User talk:Gchuva|talk]]) 09:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:The article you started was about a comedy club that was found to not be [[WP:NOTE|notable]] enough to warrant an article. I did not delete the article, I do not have the ability to do so. As far as the list on [[Comedy clubs]] goes, the comment stated to only add clubs that are notable. Since your club was found to not be notable, it should not be on the list. Do not take offence to this, there are a lot of people and places that do not pass the guidelines at [[WP:NOTE]]... - [[User:Adolphus79|Adolphus79]] ([[User talk:Adolphus79#top|talk]]) 14:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC) |

The stub has stayed up so far. Do a search for takeout comedy and you will see it. Can we add it back to the list of comedy clubs? [[Special:Contributions/116.48.49.113|116.48.49.113]] ([[User talk:116.48.49.113|talk]]) 00:04, 27 June 2008 (UTC) |

Recreating deleted content without addressing the problems is against the policy. I think I addressed the notability problem. What can I do to remove the speedy deletion tag?

== In response to what I hope wasn't rhetorical == |
|||
Not really. But it feels like proper process to inform someone when it seems like there's even a chance that they legitimately don't understand, rather than that they're simply being deliberately disruptive or beligerant. Not to say they can't be both, of course. If they make any effort to communicate on the issue, I think it's best to explain WHY what they're doing is wrong, not just tell them that it IS wrong. I'm not trying to say you've not done that or anything. I mean, the speedy deletion warning template explains it pretty clearly. - [[User:Vianello|Vianello]] ([[User talk:Vianello|talk]]) 06:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC) |

:well, I started with the speedy and a warning... but not wanting to bite the noob, I followed up with the message on both the article's and the user's talk pages... then I figured I should just help him and show him what I was talking about... hopefully he gets the idea and doesn't take offence to it, I thought I explained pretty peacefully... - [[User:Adolphus79|Adolphus79]] ([[User talk:Adolphus79#top|talk]]) 06:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC) |
