Quantum of Solace

I gotta admit, I didn't see that one coming. Predictably I'm already seeing comments on various forums asking what it means, and a lot of people are unaware that it's an Ian Fleming title. 23skidoo (talk) 15:10, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

• Yeah, I saw the forum postings that some folks had found the websites already. It's amusing watching the reactions to the new title. Those who know Fleming seem OK with it and those who don't are flummoxed by it! BTW glad to see I'm not the only one being flooded by image bot messages. I've given up doing anything about them; another user has volunteered to "fix" the images for me. 23skidoo (talk) 17:53, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Moving

I just moved Moonraker to Moonraker (novel) and I did the same for the novel/short story articles on From Russia with Love, For Your Eyes Only, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and You Only Live Twice. The only problem is that I am now trying to move the disambiguation pages to not have (disambiguation) as part of the article title. I tried moving Moonraker (disambiguation) to Moonraker, but it didn't work. Could you please help me with this? For all the other novels that were movies, if I type in just the name, like Casino Royale, it takes me to the disambiguation page where I can then go where I want to go from there. I feel it should be the same for all the articles. Emperor001 (talk) 23:39, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I'm not sure how the fix the other pages. I guess I'll just wait for someone else to fix them or find a way to do it myself. Emperor001 (talk) 03:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Just made a disambiguation page for FRWL, I'll be working on pages for the others. Could you please help me do what you did with Moonraker? Emperor001 (talk) 03:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Just did the same for The Spy Who Loved Me and You Only Live Twice. A dis. page already exists for OHMSS. Thanks again. Emperor001 (talk) 03:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Typing in From Russia with Love, The Spy Who Loved Me, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and You Only Live Twice leads to the novels page, not the disambiguation page. I think that just typing in the title without a mentioning as to whether its the novel or film should direct to the disambiguation page like it does with the other films. Emperor001 (talk) 03:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I got everything fixed now. Emperor001 (talk) 04:01, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Dr. No

I noticed that the article for Julius No still has the following succession box:

All other James Bond villains had these boxes removed. What was the final decision for succession boxes for fictional characters? Should I remove this box or add boxes to the other articles? Emperor001 (talk) 15:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

List of James Bond villains

I just put a table in for the novel villains (to put the novels and films on the same level), but it's kind of messed up (I know presscious little about tables on Wikipedia). Could you please help me fix it? Emperor001 (talk) 15:12, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Emperor001 (talk) 16:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:FYEOcomicbook.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:FYEOcomicbook.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:10, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Sixth generation

Hello, you were identified as the originator of the phrase "Sixth-generation" with regard to the history of video game console articles we have on Wikipedia. There is currently a discussion[1] over the legitimacy of this phrase. You're welcome to share any thoughts you have on the matter. In particular, however, we would like to know whether this phrase was something that you saw somewhere else, or whether it was something you invented after seeing seventh generation below that. If you could please take the time to comment with your thoughts or simply reply with an answer to my question, that would be appreciated. Thanks.陣内_Jinnai 04:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (novel)

The article Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (novel) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (novel) – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a subject that appears to lack sufficient notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nczempin (talk) 01:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Main page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of this article know that it will be appearing as the main page featured article on June 3, 2011. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 3, 2011. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! ۞ Tbhotch^™ & (ↄ), Problems with my English? 01:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Casino Royale is the 21st film in the James Bond film series and the first to star Daniel Craig as MI6 agent James Bond. It was directed by Martin Campbell and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis. Casino Royale is set at the beginning of Bond's career as Agent 007, just as he is earning his license to kill. After preventing a terrorist attack at Miami International Airport, Bond falls for Vesper Lynd, the treasury agent assigned to provide the money he needs to bankrupt terrorist financier Le Chiffre by beating him in a high-stakes poker game. The story arc continues in the following Bond film, Quantum of Solace (2008). The film is a reboot, establishing a new timeline and narrative framework not meant to precede or succeed any previous Bond film. Casting the film involved a widespread search for a new actor to portray James Bond, and significant controversy around Craig when he was selected to succeed Pierce Brosnan. It is the third screen adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel of the same name. The film received largely positive critical response, with reviewers highlighting Craig's performance and the reinvention of the character of Bond. It earned over $594 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing James Bond film to date. (more...)

MSU Interview

Dear K1Bond007,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 03:43, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

WP:VG Interview

This hasn't hit the mainstream yet, but today is an important day for WP:VG. We've reached our 10 year anniversary! The WP:VG Newsletter crew are interested in running a feature this quarter on the early days of WP:VG and because you are one of the earliest contributors to the WikiProject, we need your help. In the last 10 years a lot has changed and we'd love to hear your perspective on it. One of the biggest changes may be your level of participation in the WikiProject or even in Wikipedia generally. This is why I'm contacting you almost 2 months before the newsletter is due to come out (it's due on April 2). I'm hoping that you'll have time somewhere between now and then to answer a few general questions reflecting on WP:VG and Wikipedia in general. Please contact me here if you would be willing to answer a few questions for our anniversary article. If you can participate, please mark this beside your name on the list, and if you can't participate please also mark this on the list by deleting your name or overstriking it. I hope this will be a fun and interesting quarter for the WP:VG Newsletter! Thanks in advance. -Thibbs (talk) 22:26, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

• PS - If you'd prefer, I could also contact you by email. Let me know if that would be more convenient for you. -Thibbs (talk) 22:39, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
