Reference Question

In your opinion, are references made in DVD commentaries by South Park creators acceptable cites? Twinsrulemlb (talk) 15:32, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Of course, I've used them myself. Alastairward (talk) 15:52, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Right on. Is there someplace on the internet where the transcripts of the commentaries are stored so you can link to it? What's the proper way to cite a DVD commentary? Twinsrulemlb (talk) 05:17, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

That's one thing I'm not too sure about, citing them. It was used to cite Cripple Fight, but no reference tags were used. Otherwise, I've heard that if you google for southpark stuff, there's a wiki that hosts them. Not sure if that's legal or not, but they're certainly out there. Alastairward (talk) 09:42, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey Fuckhead

Quit acting like the all mighty editor. It is not up to you to decide whether something is adequately cited to be on Wikipedia. Your argument that there can't be any orignial research is utterly ridiculous. Everything is original research at one time or another. Let the reader decide or bring it to the talk page before you decide. Leave it alone until you are given premission by the group. I think more people like the cultural references in South Park than do not. So under rule of the majority leave it alone or you will be deleted. 15:54, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Whut?... Alastairward (talk) 15:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with him. You're doing more harm than good. So what if it's not perfect, imperfectly sourced, but right, knowledge is better the bare and empty articles you are leaving in your wake. Do you realize how many people come to these articles thinking that they recognize something but can't place where and then can't find out where because of people like you? 129.107.81.12 (talk) 04:29, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Anonymous IP, I thought the same thing--but he really is HELPING the South Park Wiki by getting rid of nonsense.--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 22:59, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Second Intifada

I added five references at the talk page, three talk about a third intifada with the start of the israel-gaza war and two even say that the second ended way back in 2003 or 2004.BobaFett85 (talk) 21:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Apologies

I have been away from the computer for some time. But please accept my apologies for the vandalism warning placed on your page previously. I am (very) new to this and saw that a large chunk of the article had been removed without anything being put in its place, on the surface it looked like vandalism. Please be assured that it was done with no malice on my part but was simply a newbie mistake. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 23:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Chill out dude, the faster the better

Are you trying to template me now? What's the deal with that? NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 16:52, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Can you please share your thoughts on the Pandemic Talk Page. I solicited a Third Opinion, and continued a discussion on it here. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 23:15, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

While I don't disagree with you overall, I would've preferred to leave the passage as it was in order to give AliGFan an opportunity to discuss it first, since reverting while there is an ongoing discussion is against policy, and I figured it would've been a better sign of good faith to wait until he's had his say. Nightscream (talk) 18:03, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

BRD

You reverted my edit while the discussion was open. Civility or not, you're lucky this is the cyber world, you miserable stalker... NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 22:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Towelie

Can you provide the relevant Diffs so I can see precisely what you're referring to? Nightscream (talk) 00:35, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Dude...

I don't really care either way, but you *are* being a control freak and a 'wiki-Nazi'. Lay off with the removals, or better yet, make yourself useful and look up the obvious connections yourself so that they work to your standards, don't just being an ass hole and remove something just because it bothers you and hide behind "it's not up to wiki standards". 129.107.81.12 (talk) 04:27, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Dude, you can't merge without any discussion

You've been on the South Park episodes list, and I see you've been merging some of the episodes. You've been doing it, however, without anyone's advice and open discussion. You need to have some opinions before you just merge it without anyone consulting with you. Got it? Keep doing it and I'll inform an admin. The Video Game Master (talk) 03:25, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll overlook the harsh tones and simply ask for any particular policy that your demands fall under. Alert an admin right now actually if you feel you must. Alastairward (talk) 14:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I suggest we continue this discussion here. I've given my thoughts on this matter there. Nightscream (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I understand your position, but let's discuss this on the aforementioned Project page. :-) Nightscream (talk) 19:44, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, have just done so. Alastairward (talk) 19:50, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Whenever I try to start a consensus discussion, I usually click on the History page of the relevant articles, and notify every registered editor. I usually notify about 12 - 20 people, but in the last one I started just a week or two ago, I notified 30 people. That way, I can say that I did not violate WP:CONSENSUS or more specifically, WP:CANVAS. Nightscream (talk) 15:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

South Park Cites

Just for reference, where can I find some reliable sources for cultural references?--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 22:49, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

try news.google.com or books.google.com

Most of the results for those searches are generally considered to meet our reliable sources standard.-- The Red Pen of Doom 22:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Red Pen. I left some comments on the merge proposal section.--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 22:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I left an admonishment on his Talk Page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 01:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Season episode guide codes

I know a lot of people like using the episode table template, but have you ever looked at this setup? It uses significantly less space than the other code, and looks virtually the same. I used a similar code for the "List of" tables in my sandbox, and the original season 1 table took up about 6.5 kb. When I implemented this code it only took up about 2.5 kb. Just a thought.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I could go with that, tables in Wikipedia aren't my forte so I just took what was already there and ran with it. Alastairward (talk) 10:40, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Exceptions to rules

Please explain why you can use WP's rules and exceptions to your liking, when at the same time you refuse to admit the legitimacy of WP:COMMON SENSE, WP:NOTOR, WP:IAR and so on when it comes to my edits. Now that is bordering on personal attacks. NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 09:55, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

If you're referring to me reverting your edits to my sandbox, my userspace is my userspace, simple as that. Alastairward (talk) 09:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

It's still Wikipedia though. You are more than welcome to create a blog elsewhere (that is, where these rules do not apply)... NotAnotherAliGFan (talk) 10:11, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The Coon cultural references

Hey Alastairward. Regarding your recent edit to the cultural references section of The Coon, I know cultural references can be sort of a tricky subject, and there's often disagreement over what goes in here, but I think these items should stay in that section. I can understand the "plot reiteration" argument, but I don't really agree (particularly since these particular items are not currently in the Plot section). These items are specific references to real-life people or places, so it seems to me as long as there's a secondary source to back them up (which in this case, there is), there's not reason not to include them in the cultural references section. By the end of this night, I'll be nominating "The Coon" for a GA, so what I planned to do was add this stuff back into the article, but mention to the reviewer (I'm going to ask someone who has done lots of tv episode reviews) that there was a dispute over that specific bit of info and ask him to weigh in on it. If he agrees with you that it should be dropped, I'll let it go and drop the issue. I think this is a fair compromise, but I wanted to let you know rather than simply adding it back without telling you. Fair? — Hunter Kahn _(contribs) 04:30, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Republic of Ireland flag in Northern Ireland article

Hello,

Please could you take a look at my edit here. I feel this is a reasonable compromise edit, but is being reverted without proper discussion here.
