Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page. I attempted to translate the data from the old version to the new, but with the extensive changes, I may have made some errors. Thanks again. Useight (talk) 03:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Help needed
Hey there, I noticed that you got List of Heroes episodes to FA status. Well I have worked on List of Moonlight episodes and I was going to nominate it, but I was wondering if you could just look over it and tell me if there's anything that needs improvement. I know about peer reviews and stuff, but this is just a simple look over to see if it is worthy of FA status. Thanks. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 07:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
- OK, thanks so much for the review. I actually meant FL, but I just called it FA, so I'm still happy ;) I will start to change the page based on your suggestions. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 06:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for all your help. The list if almost FL status; all it needs is a good copyedit and I have already asked someone to do it! :-) Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, some good news: the list was promoted! YAY!!! Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 06:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Lost Pilot episode
Hi. I'm thinking of working on the article for the Lost pilot episode, and was wondering what sites do you use regularly to find references and reviews of the episodes? Good job on the GAs and FAs of Season 4, too! Regards, Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 00:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- The pilot, eh? You will have to do some digging for sources. The reason I have been writing about the newer episodes (and occasionally characters) is because I do not have to search through archives for sources. Most of the fourth season production information is taken from DarkUFO's http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com. http://www.lost-media.com is a similar and (older, i.e. more information on the pilot than DarkUFO) website and I strongly suggest going there. The pilot is one of the few episodes that has production heavily chonicled on the DVD's. I would also recommend going through the fall 2004 archives at the websites for USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide for more interviews. Because Lost was the "it" show when it came out and you are looking for reviews of a television pilot, the reception section should be fairly easy. Because there will be so many reviews, only mention those from the top of the list of most popular newspapers. You can also use Google News. Off the top of my head, here are two good articles: [1] & [2]. Good luck, –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:21, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the links. And the barnstar! I don't have the DVDs so unless the commentaries are available on a torrent download, that's a dead end for me. I noticed you've included info regarding the UK reception. Have you tried for Aus and Nz? I know where to look for the UK cos I'm from there, so that shouldn't be too difficult. I'm not that sure about Australasian sources though. Finally, do you think it's worth splitting the pilot into two articles, since the episodes were broadcast on two different weeks? What are your plans for the season 4 finale article? Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 07:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry to gatecrash the discussion :) Don't know about NZ but as of 2008-05-15, the pilot is the #58 most watched program in Australia since 2001 with 2.34 million viewers ([3]) - hope that helps! —97198 talk 10:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sure does! Thanks! Matthewedwards (talk · contribs · count · email) 21:36, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Re: Your previous account
Wow. Yeah, you did. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 06:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

- :@ You figured it out. Yeah, I wanted to act older (well I'm not that young), but if you look at my talk page several users have already realised I'm not 32 or whatever. Maybe this account will mysteriously die too soon.... Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 06:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Andre Kertesz:
Hi, I noticed you removed my andre kertesz nomination from the main page requests. I understand that only 5 requests are allowed, but I'll be satisfied if you could add it be in later...? I've technically left Wikipedia and this was my last task to do. I have been trying to nominate forever and it would be absolutely awesome if you could nominate it back in for me later. I personally think the new rules suck and I'm not the only one - I just can't sit around and wait for an opening. which will most likely be taken before I get to it... Please can you nominate it for me? I'm really desperate.... Spawn Man (talk) 22:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have that page watchlisted and I am on Wikipedia pretty often so I am often online when the slots open up. I was planning to re-insert your nomination next time that happens. Also, it is unfortunate that Wikipedia is losing such an accomplished contributor. Good luck with any future projects and maybe we will see you return some day. ;) –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks a bunch! Maybe I will return, but I'm waay too busy at the moment. Thanks again. Two smileys for you. : ) : ) Spawn Man (talk) 23:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC) (Make it three...) ; )

Thanks for taking the time to contribute, and of course, thanks for voting to support :). I'm going to focus on article writing for a bit (less chance to bite) until my exams are finished and i'm relatively stress-free. And you'll note i've started capitalising individual I's :P.

The featured list contest
Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT). Good luck and have fun! -- Scorpion0422 18:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- This is just a quick reminder that you still need to pick a list. -- Scorpion0422 02:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Powerless
I know you are very busy, but could you please just check out Powerless (Heroes). I improved a bit and nominated it for GA status. Please just read through it and tell me if there's anything that needs improvement before it's reviewed. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notes. I know there's probably heaps of more production info, but frankly I'm not really good at finding production information. Could you spare a few minutes? If you could just give websites, I would be willing to put it in. If you can't, well there's still enough info there [as you said]. Oh yeah, could you check the lead. I think it's much better now. The article is already nominated, and this stuff will be addressed by the reviewer, so don't worry if you can't help. :-) Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 07:02, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
- Good news, the article was promoted to GA status. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 08:57, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for your copyedit. I had already asked another user to do it, but since you did such a fantastic job, do you think I should tell him that it has already been taken care of? Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 07:16, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Second request for adminship
Acalamari, Milk's Favorite Cookie and Malinaccier have each expressed interest in writing or have written the nomination for Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/thedemonhog 2. At most, I would like to have one co-nominator as some users have been opposing per too many co-nominators. Let's have the nomination run from July 1 to July 7. Thanks, –thedemonhog talk • edits 21:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- Heh, heh, glad I watchlisted this page. :) Who would you like to create the nomination, and when do you want it created? Acalamari 21:12, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'll probably just support, so Acalamari and Malinaccier can do the nominations. Good luck. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 21:20, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the support! The nomination can be created whenever with transclusion on July 1. Higher up on this page, Malinaccier says that he has already written a nomination, but he is offline right now and if you are looking for something to do, you could create the nomination page. –thedemonhog talk • edits 21:28, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- Done: my statement is there. I just need to find a couple of Wikilinks to finish it now. If there's any mistakes or I've missed something, let me know. Acalamari 21:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Since I am not very good in these things, can you perform the merge in the List of Heroes character with special abilities? I tagged the article in March and since then only you replied. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 12:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

RE:Lost (season 4)
What's the verdict on Lost (season 4)? Should I continue with the GA review, or do you want to nominate it as a FLC? Nikki311 20:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- I guess discontinue the GA review. –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:30, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
About the FL nomination, I think the article is ready. All it needs is a critic reception and awards section. The reatings needs some clean-up, but other than that, the article is finished. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
FA nom of "The Shape of Things to Come (lost)"
At this point it looks good to go, I would say. Is there anything that jumps out at you at this time (something I might have missed)? I think it's ready for the nomination, if that's your goal. Like I said, if any concerns about the article are brough up at FAC, I'll work with you to fix them during the nomination so it may pass successfully. I'd like to hear your thoughts. Cheers, --Mizu onna sango15/Discuss 23:10, 29 June 2008 (UTC).
- Thanks, it looks good. Don't feel obligated to stick around at FAC. –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:38, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, I won't mind continuing to help out with the article even during the FA nomination (unless you don't want me to, of course). I saw you have now nom'ed it. Best of luck! --Mizu onna sango15/Discuss 00:10, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Main page requests moving along ...
We have a compromise I'm satisfied with. We've developed a more precise organization for the current five-nomination system that could provide the infrastructure for more nominations in the future, if we're confident we can maintain it after trying it for awhile. You can see the discussion on the requests talk page, of course, but a sample of what we have in mind is here. Wrad (talk) 01:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
AIV revert
Hello. I noticed you recently reverted your report of 190.51.136.69. I am watching WP:AIV and I was wondering why you reverted it since the IP did vandalize after her/his last warning. After I saw that, I added the report back my own. I don't know why you reverted it, but I was thinking you looked at the above report I did and they had almost the exact IP address number and they were vandalizing the same pages. I was thinking you reverted your report because you thought the above report was the same IP you were reporting. The above IP report was 190.51.178.67; you can see how they are a like. Well, anyway, they were both blocked by User:Xenocidic. I would still like to know why you reverted your report if you don't mind. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 19:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- I thought that it was possible that he (or she, let's just say he) had not vandalized after his final warning, as his last vandalism and warning both occured at 19:07 (UTC). Soon after, I saw that the article he was vandalizing was being protected and his various IP accounts were being dealt with. –thedemonhog talk • edits 20:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, just making sure. They were blocked anyway so no problems. Thanks, RyRy (talk) 20:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Heh, thanks. I've hated that question for long before your RFA (because my 3rd RFA got opposed because I felt that blocks to cool down the general climate of Wikipedia discussion areas were appropriate, and WP:CDB is horribly defined).

It looks like Lost (season 4) has been on your to-do list for some time now. I just put it on mine today (after reviewing a few The Office GANs and deciding I should do some episodes myself).

- Gary King formatted the references in "Cabin Fever" and "There's No Place Like Home", nominated them both for good article status and added them to his "contibutions" list on his user page, with ThinkBlue quickly passing both of them as good articles. I am now trying to speedily clean-up Lost (season 4) so that it can get to featured list candidates and the topic can get to featured topic candidates by the time that I leave for a one-month vacation starting on the 18.

WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Did you know that Through the Looking Glass (Lost) is the longest episode FA, at 49.1KB? Well, I'm trying to break your record with The Stolen Earth (not yet an FA). It's currently at 44.5KB, but given that three production accounts (uno, dos, tres) are coming out soon, I think I might get to 60KB.

The Other Woman
Hi Thedemonhog; I removed the new FAC as I archived it only a few hours ago. The FAC should be able to sail through successfully if you bring it back when everything is cleared up. I see another editor started a thread at the Reliable Sources noticeboard, and there's the pending image issue. If you can nail down those two issues, the chances of the article passing next time will be much greater, and you'll likely get more attention from reviewers. It's understandable, with the high traffic at FAC, that reviewers may be reluctant to engage until other issues are sorted. Please take a few days to sort out those two kinks, and then bring it back when it's ready. Good luck next time; that was a great episode, and I'll be pulling for it. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Good morning demonhog. I was going to say that I won't have time to copyedit it during its FAC, but I see it got archived anyway. Since we have a bit more time, can you give me about a week? I'm coming off a very busy period at work but I will have more time coming up this week. --Laser brain (talk) 17:08, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it. Since you are busy, I will just find someone else. ;) –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:26, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Lost
Um, I just looked over those episode pages. If I were you, I would nominate them for FA status. As far individual episode articles goes, they are pretty comprehensive. Not all episode articles have scholarly analysis on them. Though, given the depth of those reception sections, I would remove those horrid (horrid meaning the actual site, not the Wikipedia writing) TVSquad sources. Those people are some of the most unprofessional reviewers out there, and when you have stuff like Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly, you don't need to fluff up the section with stuff from TVSquad. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Just look at The Shape of Things to Come (Lost), it's the same structure as Eggtown and the other you listed. There might be a bit more information, but "comprehensive" means that you've covered all major points the best of their ability. It doesn't mean that every episode article must contain X, Y, Z topics. Not all episodes win awards. Not all episodes have "themes" that are analyzed by critics. If there isn't anything else to say about those particular episodes, the rather large production info and reception section is a pretty comprehensive look at those episodes. Unfortunately, Smallville episodes don't get that type of coverage, and that's why they don't have articles. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:11, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, you might be right. Thanks for the posts! –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:14, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- Quick point, the Leads of both articles do need some work, but that's not a reflection of comprehensiveness. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:17, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Not a big deal, but I didn't understand
I didn't understand on the TFAR page your summary "September 30: Not supporting per removal of another article" I guess not supporting is better than opposing, but the "per removal" suggests to me that you think I did something wrong. Any help straightening me out would be appreciated.
BTW, as a kid I got to hang out in Vancouver while visiting my Grandmother. Are Stanley Park, English Bay and Jericho Beach still as nice? Well they have articles, so I'll check those out.
Smallbones (talk) 04:21, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, for some reason, I did not want to just add a "formatted TFA blurb box" edit summary, so I added one on why I was not supporting when I normally support just about everything that goes through TFAR (not including the last few months when I have been too busy/away to support anything on that page!) What I meant was that I will not be adding a support—or an oppose—vote to requests that replaced another. I liked it better when we had to voraciously watchlist the page to see when a slot opened up to add a request instead of the slight hard feelings/betrayal that one might feel nowadays if he or she gets all the way to TFAR only to have his or her request removed for reasons that are out of the editor's control (a somewhat similar article by someone else appearing on the main page recently, the subject matter being under ten years old or not relevant to a seventh-grade school project, etc.) And Stanley Park, English Bay and Jericho Beach are still nice, although the Park was closed for part of last year after a vicious windstorm. Anyway, good luck with your nomination! –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:36, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting. I always found the old system horribly unfair. I'm on Wikipedia rarely for more than an hour here or there, and what little time I have I devote mostly to articles. Under the old system I never once spotted an opening on the page. I'd written 6 Featured Articles over the course of a year before I had one featured. I just gave up as the old system didn't really favor quality, or diversity, or anything but who had the most time to hit the Watchlist. Talk about feeling slighted by something beyond my control! Quit my job to watchlist TFAR? The new system is much improved in my opinion (though I could think of several tweaks, as the current system seems to punish articles without clear anniversaries). I guess it goes to show that you can't possibly make everyone happy :) --JayHenry (talk) 05:29, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Although, if I was writing about more important topics and/or was not a demon watchlister, I would probably prefer the new system. –thedemonhog talk • edits 05:50, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response. This is my first experience with TFAR, so it's hard for me to compare. The competitive aspect of the page is a bit unusual (in some ways) for wikipedia, but the point system does seem designed to encourage diversity, which I think is very good.

A new FL contest
Wikipedia's epic FL directors Matthewedwards and Scorpion0422 have decided to try another FL contest as a follow up to the one held last June. As you entered the first contest, you may be interested in taking a look at the new one, which will have different rules. Although they are still being fiddled with, three FLs in different topics will be required this time around. For more information, see here. A start date has not yet been determined, but it will likely begin some time within the next week or so. Thanks for the time, Scorpion0422 15:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up — but it seems that some of the regulars at TFAR don't like it when an article is nominated way in advance, even if it's within the 30-day timeframe.

- Thank you for the kind words. Thankfully, one of the writers from IGN sat in the audience at the Damon and Carlton panel, so we will be able to cite some of the things that they said on Wikipedia. Aw, but I wish I had talked him into staying for the Eddy and Adam panel because by the time that they did their panel, I had no more video space in my camera because I had filmed parts of Damon and Carlton, which will be posted on YouTube soon. For IGN's report, go to http://tv.ign.com/articles/930/930680p1.html. I read over that and made a list of all the things that he missed, in addition to what happened in the second panel, and sent that over to DarkUFO: you can see it at http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/11/damon-lindelof-and-carlton-cuse-speak.html. Damon and Carlton were great—it was like listening to a ninety-minute podcast in which there was swearing and far better questions than they usually get and I could see them, sitting front row, centre. ;) Strangely, I think that I might have liked the Eddy and Adam panel better. Both panels had lots of new behind the scenes information, but Damon and Carlton felt more like celebrities, whereas Eddy and Adam felt more relatable. As for spoilers for the upcoming season, there were not many. One of the biggest ones were when Carlton was talking about how the show is going to get "more science fictiony", to which Damon said that "Lost has really been about the long con, because by the time we get to season 6, it's going to be fucking crazy!" When asked about the background survivors, Carlton said that there is "a very tragic event that happens this season" (I am pretty sure that some parts of this can be viewed in the Fray's music video trailer). The only other spoilers were that we will see but not meet the DeGroots and that Patrick Fischler, who they knew from Nash Bridges would recur this season. As for Heroes (isn't that show just awful these days?), well, it was supposed to be a "Heroes panel with Tim Kring, Jesse Alexander and Jeph Loeb", but the moderator said that the latter two had to cancel for reasons beyond Creative Screenwriting's control and that we should not ask questions about it later in the Q&A. So they disassembled the panel table and brought out the big comfortable chairs and it suddenly became "an interview with Tim Kring". Poor Tim Kring—it seems that nothing goes his way. He talked about how he did not sign up to be a show runner and manage people; he is a writer. He said "a million" a lot, e.g. "There are a million things why it is hard", "there are a million reasons why that did not work". He seemed worn out and his eyes were bloodshot. He said that he envisioned Heroes as having major cast changes every season à la 24 (if you don't know, basically everyone but Jack Bauer dies or occasionally, someone is simply written out), but fans got attached to the characters and it is hard to sign contracts that accompany that so now, he is stuck writing for characters who he thought would have been gone a long time ago. He is only interested in writing "origin" stories and is hoping to make "departure episodes" like "Villains" the norm instead of the exception. Even when Kring was on Crossing Jordan, things did not work out the way that he had hoped. He pitched the show as being about a strong, female lead who was the sheriff of a small town and NBC liked it. But then, one of the network executives went on a trip to Europe and while he was there, he watched a show about medical examiners so NBC forced Kring to change the show into a strong, female lead who was a medical examiner. But the thing that is getting the far most press coverage from the Expo is when Kring referred to people who watch Heroes live on Mondays at 9 on NBC (half the audience, according to him; it is actually more) as "saps and dipshits". Tim Kring is very good at drawing out answers to questions, which was good because he had no fellow writers there with him, but it always seemed like he was going off-topic when he had actually just been talking so long about one thing that you would forget what the original question was. Anyway, after the interview, I waited for a long time behind just a few people in line (see previous sentence) before getting the script of the pilot signed and a picture with him. Pictures from these panels (and those from other panels, interviews and classes with the writers of Wedding Crashers, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, King of the Hill, 27 Dresses, The West Wing, The Princess Bride, Juno (director), Vantage Point, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, A History of Violence, The Parent Trap, Dexter etc. coming soon to Wikimedia Commons! –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:41, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the entry, it probably took you a while to write it all. "... A very tragic event that happens this season", I knew/hoped this was going to happen for a while. Hopefully they all get burnt (by the flaming arrows or whatever) and die, and no more time is wasted showing other survivors. "Saps and dipshits", lol, I read the article itself a while ago and didn't really understand what the fuss was about. Then I realized that he had insulted half his audience (being a downloader from Australia, I am not a sap or a dipshit according to Kring. ;) Yay). And Heroes is totally crap now, I couldn't care less if it was cancelled. Look forward to the picures, Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 10:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Election stats data
My source is indeed stats.grok.se and a lot of patience - sorry, I thought I'd stated that! Will fix now...
The main difference is that stats.grok.se counts redirects interestingly - following the link to "Redirect Page" will be recorded as a single pageview for "Redirect Page" rather than one for "Target Page", if you see what I mean. For Barack Obama and John McCain, I generated a list of all the redirect pages I could find, and factored these in, which means the pageviews calculated for those articles are greater than those stats.grok.se gives if you just ask it for the one page.
I use "hits" as synonymous with pageview here; I'll happily change if there's a nuance I'm missing. Hope that helps! Shimgray | talk | 14:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Meet Kevin Johnson suggestion
Hi, I've been looking through the article and I think it is very good. However, one suggestion I have is that the production section is a bit long. This makes reading through it a tad monotonous, so it might not hurt to break it into sections. Two divisions I can think of are writing, and maybe "guest characters" (not the best title though) that would include the info on Libby, Karl, Tom and Gault. A third might be shooting? Not sure about that one though. I hope this helps. I also think your reception section is a bit long (and again somewhat tedious to read through), it might not hurt to condense it a little (or even break it into sections... No idea how that would work though). -- Scorpion0422 21:49, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

- Oh no, it looks like I am not going to be moving up WP:WBFAN/2008 after all. –thedemonhog talk • edits 06:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
If you're wanting to give me a barnstar I haven't got before, this is probably apt. Although I don't expect a new one; just replace it :) Sceptre (talk) 23:38, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- Haha. But it felt so right! (j/k). Thanks anyway. Sceptre (talk) 00:16, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- We did move up WBFAN/2008 after all. The problem is, it doesn't count for scoring on the WikiCup :P. Anyway, as I was blocked at the time: happy new year! And hopefully, the next FAC won't last six weeks. Sceptre (talk) 23:39, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, happy new year. For some reason, Hotmail is not letting me open your latest e-mail. –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- It does have a 1440*11000 PNG in it. Which is pretty much redundant anyway because it's visible now at The Stolen Earth (it was a mocked-up preview). The text was:

This is a current mockup of a draft of an expansion to the The Stolen Earth article which is the same as my wikicode copy, save for one wikilink in the "Writing" section and the words "of the fourth series" in the "Reception" section I added just now (as in, 30 seconds before I started writing this email). Currently, it stands at 90.1KB (92,261 bytes, or so Windows says), with an expansion of 13.2KB made by adding part of some excised script in the writing section, and an inclusion of an Analysis section to accommodate an analysis that is five pages long in the book I've cited it in. With that edit, I've for all intents and purposes, finished the article. There's a magazine poll coming out in about six months, and there may need to be a few grammatical fixes, but I've pretty much included everything I could.
— Me.
- You really should read the article one day :P Sceptre (talk) 23:47, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
MKJ
I saw your edit summary in my watchlist; haven't had much time to post and may not get much in the next day or so, but I wanted to see if there was something specific you were looking for feedback on. I am now supporting, so with only Karen opposing I think you're likely to get promoted. Let me know if you need something specific -- I couldn't figure it out from a quick look at your last edit. Have a good holiday! Mike Christie (talk) 04:57, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- You too! I had not realized that you had supported, so I was hoping for further feedback for ways to improve the article. –thedemonhog talk • edits 09:45, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- I guessed you don't celebrate Christmas, which I why didn't post a greeting earlier. (bad use of tense intended) :) What I can do is congratulate you on your fabulous work on MKJ. That is one great article, and I have no idea how you put up with that monster FA candidacy. I would've turned insane looong ago! :D Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 09:49, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hehehe, lol. Since you have the atheist userbox, I guessed you don't celebrate Christmas, and wasn't really able to write that properly. Wait, did I just mess the tenses up again? ;) And I was mourning the deletion of the BuddyTV page so much I decided to fix it up (they always have reviews when there are no better ones out there). Have a good one! :D Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 10:17, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
- Hope you have a very merry day! (Though I do feel a little slack considering we've ticked over to Boxing Day here!) —97198 (talk) 13:37, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Any chance?
Hope your Christmas was fabulous! On a hasty change of subject, I was wondering if you had any idea of where to look for some TV ratings for October 28, 2007 (a Sunday)... I'm looking for a Dexter episode, so it was on Showtime (cable) and I haven't had any luck in finding anything. I'd be eternally grateful if you could find the time to look, even if nothing comes up! :) —97198 (talk) 13:29, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
A LOST question.
Hello, I was reading your userpage and some of your contributions and such regarding Lost articles. I've had something on my mind and I like to bring it to your attention. Well, I'm trying to re-watch all the episodes of Lost before the season premiere, and I've been looking over the episodes from at least the first season. I've noticed that episodes in the third and fourth season seem to be better formatted then the first and second season episodes. An example being a subsection for flashbacks/flashforwards, for present time, etc. as opposed to the first couple seasons which have everything as one timeline. Now, I'm not sure if there is a specific reason for this, or if anyone else has pointed this out, but seeing as you have a lot of history with the project and I am fairly new to Lost and the project itself, I'm not sure. --HELLØ ŦHERE 22:09, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Again, look to the GAs and FAs for the better formatting. It is just a case of no one having gotten around to rewriting and improving the older articles. –thedemonhog talk • edits 22:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you. And sorry, I know I should look at the GAs and FAs, I must not be looking hard enough as some of the only ones that I've noticed don't cover a lot of the material. (An example being Keamy's article is what we're supposed to model them after, yet he's only been on for one season, ya know?) But once again, thank you. --HELLØ ŦHERE 23:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
