List of English Kangaroo Words
I completely disagree with your opinion that the entry should be deleted. Surely there is a place in the internet to archive a wiki collection of known English kangaroo words. They are rare and deserve to be listed. I have separated them into a different page/entry so that it doesn't confuse the readability/neatness of the article already. The sprawling list of words is outside of the main entry. In fact, they are not sprawling, but an archive of rare objects. By your logic, we should also delete List of palindromic places. Sorry for the flame, but people have spent a lot of time to collect all known kangaroo words for you to just delete them. I challenge you to come up with 10 new legitimage kangaroo words. If you can do that, then maybe you can delete this list. We have spent a lot of time on the kangaroo word wiki well before you ever came along and decided that our collective reference is just "sprawling". Powerslide
Day of the Dead (film) Calendar
I was wondering why you orphaned the picture I put up comparing an image from the Gorillaz album to the opening screen shot of the movie. Given the excessive similarities in the two pictures as well as the fact that the same album samples music from the original Dawn of the Dead, I think it obvious that the band was emulating the opening screen of Day of the Dead. Also, you left the whole bit in the article stating how the two pictures are similar, yet removed the actual visual evidence from the article showing just how they are similar.

Given that the Gorillaz have sampled music from other Romero Dead movies on more than one of their albums, it shows that the band are fans of his movies and that they knew exactly what they were doing with that image. Their picture has the month of October starting on a Tuesday and ending on a Thursday (just like in the movie, but obviously this alone does not prove the point) and all the days are Xed off with big, bold red Xs (it could have been just as easily black Xs, but they chose red, just as it was in Day). Also the calendar itself is not just a flip down calendar, but is spiral-bound and is pinned to a bare Concrete block wall (both of these being in the opening shot of Day as well). Literally the only difference between the two images is that the Gorillaz have Trick-or-treaters as the image on the calendar (as opposed to a field of pumpkins, albeit the most prominent trick-or-treater is wearing a giant pumpkin head) and where in Day it says "OCTOBER" in all capital letters, the Gorillaz' image says "NOVEMBER HAS COME" also in all capital letters. Honestly if they hadn't gotten Romero's permission to sample his work, the image itself would have been borderline copyright infringement. Danielhalton (talk) 12:28, 4 June 2008
Fan
But I am a fan. Should the fact that one can just talk to him and that he's not unreachable like some big shot artist be a reason? I wouldn't do this if I wasn't a fan. It's what I do, I make fanpages. Why should wikipedia be any different? Someone even made one for Valensia. And there are loads of links to peoples personal fansites for Valensia, and they all know the artist (and the creator of this page as well probably) because he's only a small time musician, people have his home address and everything. And I am sure there are many more pages like that on wikipedia. I like what that last guy said, its not an advert cos then there'd be a pricelist. If you look at the criteria and compare it with pages about other 'famous' people, it's no different, in fact it now doesn't even have ref links, so if the argument would hold up, you're basically saying all artist pages on here are adverts, but of course they are not. It's called promotion. Be it informative or not; any page in any way about any artist, that also means on here can be seen as promotion. So should all artist pages be removed? I am just trying to understand the difference. in my humble opinion he's a man who deserves a place on here and so does his brother, for whom I wanted to make a page as well, who's a professor who studied the Holy Grail and knows all about legendes and lores. This is English History, British legacy, these men are historians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Philoelpistina (talk • contribs) 09:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
RE:Flying Squad
Thanks for restoring that, I was having a bit of trouble. After bending the rules slightly to get unreferenced contributions included for a seemingly nice editor - how silly of me.

yeah basicly, it's to make a "less political" collection that's all. Kramer John (talk) 15:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Please dont just jump from the first warning, to a higher level without them vandalising after the first to your userpage. Thanks. [[::User:Police,Mad,Jack|Police,Mad,Jack]] ([[::User talk:Police,Mad,Jack|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Police,Mad,Jack|contribs]])☺ 08:55, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
I've done that before, and you still created about that. [[::User:Police,Mad,Jack|Police,Mad,Jack]] ([[::User talk:Police,Mad,Jack|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Police,Mad,Jack|contribs]])☺ 09:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Removing my Links
Why do you keep removing my link to an external energy drink review site? You let others post links and I looked at the External Linking Guidelines and rule 4 states that you should add: "Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews."
Please explain what I did wrong, I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with anyone here, and I will gladly listen to anything you have to offer. AlexPBenes (talk) 15:18, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

WhatIfGaming
Thanks for clarifying the notability of the WhatIfGaming website on PixelJunk Eden. I'm not sure if it was in response to my comment on the VG Project page or just coincidence, but thanks none the less. ChimpanzeeUK - User | Talk | Contribs 12:00, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
