Awards

Hey! I see you're currently working on adding and fixing up awards and nominations: good for you! That page often goes ignored haha. I was wondering if you could add the win at the American Music Awards of 2010 for "Favorite Soundtrack"? The page at the official website is here, but I have a feeling it will be inaccessible by the time next year rolls around, so here's another one below. Thanks in advance! :) Yves (talk) 20:50, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, sure, thanks for the link! I used to be quite on top of the awards list, but after seeing the Grammy Awards added today I realised I hadn't looked at in the four months, so it's a bit behind the times haha. I'll get it added now :D Frickative 21:36, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much! :D I just added a sheet music section to the merchandise article, but I don't know if you think it should go under the other section since it's short, or stay in its music section? Yves (talk) 21:44, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oh awesome, I didn't even know that existed! Hmm, I think it's fine as a music subsection. The "other" section is a bit chaotic, and when I get chance I'm going to try and expand it and split it up a bit more into games/apparel etc anyway :) Frickative 22:08, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Haha okay. Yeah, I wasn't aware of that until I looked up some earlier Glee articles. Oooh that sounds good! :) Yves (talk) 23:09, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Gleek barnstar

My goodness, thank you so much! It's still a work in-progress, and I've saved some things so I wouldn't lose them, but I figured I wanted to start something new in that there would be a background and/or composition section with the articles so someone who has never watched "Journey[ to Regionals]" could know a bit more about the songs and, in this case, why half of them are Journey ones. For the EP articles, at least, since those are easier: I figured starting with the shortest EP would be good since they're only one episode and therefore easier to work on. Peak charting and new entries would have happened over one or two weeks at the max, and reviews would have to be looked up for only the one episode. Speaking of the reviews, I'm looking at taking the episodic professional comments on the arrangements and/or vocals and leaving out aspects that don't apply like dancing or visual context and presentation. Journey to Regionals also happens to be the lowest-rated article of the Glee GT, so I decided to start there, and I may go to the Madonna EP next. The Grammy nomination also led me to realize how lacking the article was. I don't know if I'm going to do the same with the Volumes, but I figure I'd start with expanding the EPs. The barnstar really means a lot to me, but you deserve recognition, too:

The Gleek Barnstar
For your quality contributions to Glee-related articles, including countless GAs and DYKs. I have to say I'm quite impressed with the thing you do of coming into an episode article and writing damn good critical response and music sections. (I suppose it helps when you have a degree in the arts.) You keep it up too, eh? :D Yves (talk) 02:43, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I second that...thank you so much for all your good work!!! I'll give you a barnstar in short time :-D CTJF83 chat 08:20, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both very much! The EP rationale makes a lot of sense - I'd honestly doubted whether they'd ever reach the point where GA would be an option, but if Journey to Regionals is anything to go by, even unfinished, then the season one GT seems like a much more feasible goal. (As for the arts degree, I genuinely believe that my essay prep and structuring skills improved as a result of Wiki-ing, which is perhaps not the way round it should be, haha!)

I readded it...the so called free image that replaced this one is from a magazine, so I hightly doubt it is free. CTJF83 chat 06:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers for that! I think even if it is free, that sort of glamour shot is definitely more representative of the actress than the character, so wouldn't be suitable for the ibox anyway. Thanks :D Frickative 17:51, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Holby City Series 13

Today, (06-12-2010) I saw the christmas issue for the radiotimes magazine, however I don't know how to add a reference for adding the writer and director credits on wikipedia. But if you want to add them they are;

Tuesday 21 December 2010 - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Writer: Tony McHale Director: Jamie Annett

Tuesday 28 December 2010 - Snow Queens

Writer: Martha Hillier Director: Daikin Marsh

Many thanks.

Thank you! Do you have the page number(s) the info appears on, and the title(s) if there are any? I'm guessing with it being the Radio Times, the titles are probably just the broadcast dates. The completed citation will look like this (with the blank parameters filled in, and 'date' being whenever the issue was released):
<ref>{{Citation | title = | magazine = [[Radio Times]] | publisher = [[BBC Magazines]] | pages = | date = }}</ref>
Then you'd just place it beside the writer/director name. If it's the same page for all the info, you can use 'ref name', so it'll look like:
|WrittenBy={{sortname|Tony|McHale}}<ref name="RT">{{Citation | title = | magazine = [[Radio Times]] | publisher = [[BBC Magazines]] | pages = | date = }}</ref>
and:
|DirectedBy={{sortname|Jamie|Annett|nolink=1}}<ref name="RT"/>
If you get back to me with the title(s), page number(s) and release date of the issue, I'll add it in, otherwise I'll have a flick through the magazine myself tomorrow and sort it then :) Frickative 17:51, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Super Bowl episode

Thanks for your contributions to the article! I look forward to watching this article expand. Given the amount of coverage this episode may receive, I think there could be potential for FA status. Keep up the great work! --Another Believer (Talk) 00:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's what she does! CTJF83 chat 00:33, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you to both of you! (And no problem, in this instance I was really just pulling in bits and pieces from existing articles :)) Hopefully you're right about the FA potential. Production coverage has been a bit thin on the ground lately, so with this much to work from already, two months in advance of broadcast, it's looking hopeful!

MSN

Does yours appear to be down today? I haven't been able to get on since this morning. CycloneGU (talk) 22:35, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How odd! I've been logged out all day today, but I just tried to log in and it let me on the first try. Hope yours decides to behave itself soon. Frickative 22:41, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Very peculiar. I hope it does too. CycloneGU (talk) 22:48, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just tried again. Service unavailable. Must be a Canada thing. CycloneGU (talk) 22:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if this is not proper Wikipedia etiquette. (I really don't know.)

Hey, Frick! Are you on? I've updated the thing to add Chord to the Christmas album! Could you check that out please? Thanks! 75.68.52.240 (talk) 17:21, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for that! Sorry, I wasn't really around much yesterday, but it looks like Yves has taken care of it. Thanks for filling it out! Frickative 17:00, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ena Sharples

Hello Frick

After reading one of the Coronation Street articles, I wanted to leave a note for any of the regular contributors/editors of these pages. Seeing no clear place to do this, I've picked your ID arbitrarily from the list of contributors and opted to leave a message on your talk page. Apologies in advance if this is unwelcome.


I see that the current article on Ena Sharples makes reference to a couple of songs that mention her name in the lyrics. I don't know how interesting this is to other readers but there is an entire song dedicated to Ena, written in the early 1960s and performed by Max Bygraves on the B&W minstrel show; "Ena, you're the girl for me!" My Dad recorded the performance directly from the TV at the time and kept it for many years. Someone who has the time might want to track the song down and link it or at least refer to it in the article.

202.36.179.68 (talk) 11:44, 13 December 2010 (UTC)David C[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your message! I haven't looked at the Ena Sharples article in quite some time, but reading it now it seems the entire "Trivia" section (which shouldn't really exist at all) is unreferenced. If references can be found to verify the songs that mention her in the lyrics, they could be kept in a "In popular culture" section or similar. I'll add it to my to-do list, and try and hunt down a reference to the Max Bygraves song so that can be added as well. Thanks! Frickative 17:00, 13 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible Histories graph

Hey Fricative!! Long time, no see... ... well i guess type.... ;)

Moving on...

Pretty much the page Horrible Histories (2009 TV series) which you helped create has a really screwed up "List of episodes" table and i have no idea why - i was not involved in it at all and after some edit (i havent tracked down which one yet), the table completely went bonkers. Can you help??

P.S if you can think of ways to make the page less of a fan-guide or at least more "wikified", that would be awesome.

Thanks :)--Coin945 (talk) 15:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Woah, that table really was screwed up, haha. It was missing the closing '|}' at the end of the code which must have sent it haywire, but I've fixed it now :) I think the "Features" section probably needs the most work after the episode summaries, which are currently meaningless to anyone who hasn't seen them. Re-writing it as prose would be a good start, so rather than just:
  • Savage Stone Age
  • Groovy Greeks
  • Rotten Romans
it could start out something like: Eras and civilizations featured in the series include the Stone Age, Ancient Greeks and Romans... though I'm not entire sure where sources could be found to verify all of them. It would be helpful to explain what the regular sketches entail as well, rather than just their names, because like the episode summaries they could mean pretty much anything. There's probably not much I can do myself in that respect without actually watching the episodes, though! Frickative 17:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh yes, well that's where i fail to... i havent actually watched that much myself, and merely left the page to the wrath of other users (;D) while i was studying for exams etc. Unbeknownst to me what an awful mes it eventually became. It's mostly lists and trivial detail, much like the horrible histories page. I'm not even sure where to begin. Also as a side note, i have located many awesome review sites for the series, which are probably more extennsive and reliable that those already in your paragraph (and written after the paragraph was put together), although i dont want to contaminate it by putting them in myself... ;)--Coin945 (talk) 22:08, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to wait for you on MSN for this, but you aren't there, and I thought others might be able to use the laugh too, so...here. =) CycloneGU (talk) 17:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, poor guy! That's hilarious, thank you, I needed a good chuckle :D Frickative 17:28, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you said that cut and paste should be avoided, I tried moving, but it kept saying it already exists?? --GSorbyDesroid - (Contribs!) 20:19, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, it needs an admin to move it in order to preserve the page history. (I think it involves temporarily deleting the target article, but I'm not 100% certain of the process!) I think the move discussion on the talk page should establish consensus before that happens, though. Frickative 20:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
