Time Trotters article

Hi. Can you please give a link to some of the Time Trotters episodes on gamespot.com? As fas as I know there was only one episode of it. I do feel you have made this whole Time Trotters article up, haven't you? :)

I've taken a look around on GameSpot for you, but as far as I can tell, the streaming versions of all the episodes except the season finale were taken down to help spur sales of the DVD set. However, the big redesign the website went through in 2005 changed where a lot of the older content was stored, and *many* video links and embedded pictures for features like GameSpotting Live! have worked intermittently or not at all since then. In other words, I may not be looking in the right place, so I'd recommend posting on GameSpot's forums about your interest in seeing more episodes. Thanks for your interest in my article!

The interesting thing is that the DVD box set is nowhere to be found, though according to your article it was released in april 2005. It should at least be in gamespot store. They announced the E3 2005 DVD set not long after the show in may 2005, and I bought it just a few weeks ago in gamespot store..

It would be nice of you to at least provide the link to gamespot's announcement of the Time Trotters DVD(on april 12th, 2005 as you claim in the article), as your article has been created very recently, and I doubt you kept the date of their announcement in your head for a full year..

oh, whatever.. lets stop the b***shit, It's clear you made the whole article up(made even more evident by the lack of google results when trying to find anything related to TT), and you should be happy that I haven't reported your article for deletion, as Wikipedia IS a SERIOUS website, with SERIOUS articles, as much as you don't want to admit it. I would just suggest you to not create any more of these false articles!

btw, The final proof :) (taken from http://www.geocities.com/willkknight/faq.txt) :

Q: Where can I see the other 18 episodes? I clicked all the other links in the episode

guide and nothing comes up? Are they good? Can you tell me what happens in them?

A: There are no other episodes...it was really just a joke. Please don't hurt me.

;)

This fan fiction is brilliant. It's so completely believable. DanManX 01:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Do not remove speedy delete tags. I tagged the article for AfD before I had realized you improperly removed a tag which had been labeled for speedy deletion. You are supposed to place a {{hangon}} tag under the speedy delete tag if you wish to contest a speedy delete. That is explicitly stated in the speedy delete tag itself. --Strothra 20:36, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm sorry about that: I have no interest in breaking Wikipedia's rules or vandalizing anybody's work. If you check my contributions, I think you'll find that I've tried to improve articles when I notice spelling or typographical errors. I acted in this case because I'm concerned about the prospect of having an article I spend three weeks researching and writing deleted because someone named "Delkart" insists on tagging them for deletion without offering any discussion here or on the page's "Discussion" page. As you consider this article for deletion, I would urge you to read this thread and think about why GameSpot would weigh the possibilties of re-releasing Time Trotters on HD or Blu-Ray DVD if the series allegedly doesn't exist.

I don't think that you intend to be a bad editor but please be more careful about reading the tags before you remove them. I never stated that the series doesn't exist. I simply put it up for AfD so that it's notability could be discussed and decided upon by the entire Wiki community. --Strothra 21:37, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's fair. For clarity, what I was referencing was the fact that Delkart's given reason for wanting the article deleted was that it's "total nonsense." I'm confident that as you and the rest of the community examine the facts at hand, you'll see that this is simply not the case. Like I said in the Time Trotters discussion page, Wikipedia has articles on many things that I've never even heard of -- that seems like a poor reason for Delkart to flag something for urgent removal from the website. I hope you'll contact me if there's anything further I can do to help resolve this matter! Thank you for your prompt response. PattonPending 21:54, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
