Re: image

Sorry to be holding things up... you can always slap in a placeholder so they'll pass the thing in the meantime, right? (I'll leave a note on the FT page) I'll try and have some more refined concepts for you by the end of the weekend, but I've got to turn a Scion xB into a Cord 810 by Tuesday, so it's taking a fair amount of my graphics time :) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries :) I'll pop up something to act as a placeholder until then. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:04, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Verlaam

I posted on the talk page. He has major issues in terms of ownership and attacking other users. Everything stems from the ownership issues. He's convinced that he "runs" several pages and therefore can dictate how they look and operate. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 05:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, much appreciated. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:06, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Great Work

The Manga and Anime BarnSakura Award
For your great work in promoting Tokyo Mew Mew and it's related pages to Featured status, and for achieving Featured Topic status, I present this well deserved Barn Sakura. What are you tacklling next? :p
Thanks :) Still contemplating. Considering Cardcaptor Sakura, and agreed to help with Fruits Basket though thus far I've done little on that one :P Also working on finishing up List of Kare First Love chapters for an FLC, and want to get back to working on the Viz manga magazine articles...weee-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 17:25, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations, Collectonian! *sees all the work being handed out* Umm... that reminds me... I've got to get back to this, so if you don't mind... *runs off* =D ダイノガイ千?!? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000 17:36, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seems to me that Fruits Basket may be the better choice of the two, it's just the sort of thing we can use for establishing the viability of a collaborative project. Dandy Sephy (talk) 18:16, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome work! Congratulations for the FT. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 19:50, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, is there any rule that states that this image can't be used in a character page or section? If so then I'll be glad to refraim from using it. Sarujo (talk) 00:40, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It would be most appropriate in a character list. Trying to use it in a single character's page would be more difficult to justify a valid FUR for since it doesn't focus on any one character. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:42, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I had a feeling but wasn't too sure. See the user Warmpuppy2 has reverted the image claiming that the image was not used on Wikipedia due to images as such provide unencyclopedic information and that it can be seen on the Johnny Test Wiki. The later sounds ridiculous to me. Sarujo (talk) 00:53, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's silly. The image if an official image and can be used here so long as it is used properly. Sounds like someone being pointy. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:00, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mathemagician57721 sock

I see another Mathemagician57721 sock has appeared on the Pokemon articles. I've already reported it to WP:ANI. —Farix (t | c) 01:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like he has another named sock too. Reported to AIV and doing a new SPI. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:54, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blair Waldorf

Lately I've been working on the Blair Waldorf article. Do you know how I might go about getting it rated? I left a request or two for it (and Kelly Taylor (90210)) on Project Television months ago, but haven't seen a response from anyone. I figure it's because they're probably busy, or I left the request in the wrong place. -- James26 (talk) 20:05, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You left it in the right place, unfortunately the Assessments area is sadly neglected by the project. I've gone ahead and assessed Blair's article at a C. You've greatly expanded it, which is great, and added lots of references, however the lead should be a summary of the article with few to no new facts being cited, and the plot is still overly extensive. There is also excessive/undue focus on the television character, an adaptation, versus the novel character (the original), and the summaries of the two media need sourcing. On the right track though. I'd suggest putting in a note on the main project page asking someone to assess the other one and maybe reminding them that the assessments area needs attention. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're lightning. I turn my head between football and the screen and it's already graded. Thanks a lot, and thanks for your comments. -- James26 (talk) 20:40, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No prob :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:58, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

TFatH

He moved the talk page, moving the article with it. I've move-protted the TP now so that he doesn't try this stunt again. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 22:22, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh...that seems like a bad bug that it was able to go through :-( -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 22:25, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't the first time I've seen move-prots be circumvented in this manner, so when I looked into the pages that you were being notified for and noticed they were move redirects, I also deleted the TP redirect and, seeing that the TP hadn't been move-protected with the article, did the honors. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 22:28, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seeing the edit-summary for your revert of the move of The Fox and the Hound I got curious, to me it looks as simple as this: the page was protected with move=autoconfirmed August 5th, [1], and the vandal would have been autoconfirmed with an account registred 5 days ago and 10+ edits in the sandbox. Regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 22:41, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it looks like he set that account up deliberately for that purpose and just waited to get autoconfirmed to get around it :( -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:06, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Non-autoconfirmed can't move pages, last I checked. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 00:22, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I put a list of my Weekly Shōnen Jump issues on the page, but there are so many of them! When I finally laid it out, it went of the page. :P The list is hidden at the bottom of the page, but you can unhide it in the preview. Maybe you could help format it a bit better... ^_^" Oh yes, by the way, what do you think of this new article I authored, called Scribner's Magazine, it is hands-down my best article. Do you think it could get up to a B-class? – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 01:20, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very good article. Its pretty near B class now, though more reception information and a summary of its features would be great. :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You see, that's the problem. I can't find any more reception information. :P What should I do? – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 04:21, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Have you looked through Lexis Nexis or the like? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 04:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing is at LexisNexis...just checked. :( – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 21:00, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have access to a University journal database? I checked A&M's and found some possible sources. In particularly, Journalism History has some articles that mention Scribner's. v. 24 no. 3 (Autumn 1998) has an article called "The popular art of American magazine illustration, 1885-1917" in which, per the summary, "The writer looks at the role of such magazines as Cosmopolitan, Scribner's, and Century in the promotion and treatment of illustration as art, arguing that American magazine illustration represented a significant part of American journalistic heritage." Also found one from The New Yorker (v. 72 (June 24-July 1 1996) p. 73-7) that appears to discuss the Hemingway issue some more. All of those hits came from the OmniFile FT Mega (H.W. Wilson Company) database. Got 39 hits total on a general topic search, with several others looking promising. If you don't have access to that kind of database, let me know and I can pull the articles for you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:14, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, can't find em... :( Why don't you just pull them here, that would be nice. :) – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 16:48, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay...will take a few days...will let you know when I have them. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:54, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Golly gee willickers! Thanks! – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 01:47, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Library db was being bratty tonight. Will try again tomorrow. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:35, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So what's new? :) – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 20:37, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing much. Had my first root canal Friday (wee), otherwise just working lots and being frustrated at not being able to buy as much manga as I'd like lately. Did get to pick up the first few volumes of Kitchen Princess, and looking forward to get more. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 23:21, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unarchived so I don't forget I still need to do this :P -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 00:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Currently have one article full-text, and requests in for the texts of seven other articles, including one that is a critical history of the magazine. :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 01:24, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Awesome thanks! :D That helps a lot, thank you! :D – J U M P G U R U ask㋐㋜㋗ 01:45, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like they have all come in. Will download tonight. Do you want them via email or download online? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 21:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nailing Bambi's hide to a boxcar door and watching it roll off into the sunset

Hi. Bambifan's hide, really. I take a meta view of things and this seems ripe. I've floated a version of the above notion about and would welcome email from you. We can talk here, some, if you'd prefer. Cheers, Jack Merridew 04:55, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Will email :) -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 05:01, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Great. It's afternoon here ;) UTC+8. Cheers, Jack Merridew 05:04, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
