Could it be redirected to intelligence? Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I wanna know. TheBlazikenMaster 22:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Could what be redirected? Feel free to re-add {{helpme}} once you have listed a question that you have. - Rjd0060 22:45, 1 October 2007 (UTC) / 22:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm talking about the thing in the section tile. Oh and thank god you didn't know, because I didn't type out exactly what I meant. TheBlazikenMaster 09:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Probably not, as they don't really mean the same thing. "Smartass" is used to describe someone who is particularly rude in displaying knowledge, but not necessarily intelligent. You're welcome to create an article about it, as the template there mentions, but I think it'd be best not to redirect it as you're suggesting. Hersfold (t/a/c) 15:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

RFD log placement

The only reason why I put the link to the MFD in the October 4th RFD log is because the MFD was started on October 4th. But, it doesn't make much of a difference where it's located. GracenotesT § 16:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for helping push out the template. Feel free to add ratings for Class and Importance — you certainly know the project as well as anyone here. / edg 18:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, sorry, I'm not an episode reviewer, so I will just be adding the template. TheBlazikenMaster 18:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for that then. / edg 18:29, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

TOO MANY templates to fix.

Yup. If I knew what I was doing when I made that template, I would have given it a shorter name, like {{WPFG}}. Usually when I edit many articles, I keep a text editor (like Notepad) open to copy/paste from. / edg 03:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

The IP

Could you please keep an eye on my talk page? You know very well, that my edit summary was all according to rules. And you also know very well it wasn't rude either. But I really can't handle this IP alone, that IP just won't leave me alone. TheBlazikenMaster 13:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

While I do watch your talk page, I don't watch your edits — stalking is work and I'm lazy — so I can't comment on the Edit summary in question. The IP is certainly in the wrong for edit warring on your Talk page. However, for what it's worth, working cooperatively often means trying to understand editors who assume bad faith about us. They're worth listening to even if it's just to figure how to work sociably with editors who are easily tiffed off. I must admit this is not one of my best skills, and not my favorite part of being on Wikipedia.
If delete/"I am right" just tiffs the IP further off, try asking questions to find out how the IP interprets the incident. If the IP persists in revert/"no you're wrong!", you can always ask him not to post to this page anymore. That's more of a last resort tho. / edg 20:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Question

Are you on bulbapedia?--Arceus fan 20:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I am there under the same name also!Arceus fan 22:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

So tell me where shall I redirect this? TheBlazikenMaster 09:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I assume you are talking about Wikipedia:Hidden comment. I personally don't think that anything needs to be done about it, unless you can find a page which it could be redirected to, but I doubt one exists. :-) Stwalkerster talk 11:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

History of magic

Have you tried asking at the reference desk? Magic (paranormal) may also help, or - dare I suggest it - try searching outside of the Wiki! THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 04:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Could you tell me how exactly this discussion can help the article? This article isn't about if the e-mail is fake or not, so I can't see the use. Info like that isn't encyclopedic. TheBlazikenMaster 16:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

The email address is mentioned in the episode in for that article, so Another Slappywag's query about that email address could have been relevant to information that could be included in the article. Perhaps the email address were answered by Fuzzy Door or something.
The query wouldn't have made a great helpdesk question either. I don't want the {{evilmonkey}} tag to devolve into a codephrase for "Shut up!", especially this early in the project.
That said, thanks for utilizing {{evilmonkey}}. I do want this to catch on. This just wasn't the best way to show it off. / edg 21:26, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Apology

First of all, I'm 71.115.218.238 I'm just using a library computer, which is why the id number is different. I do admit, reading my talk page that I was out of line. But you could have still worded your comment on the edit differently. Something like: Generally all tv shows are set in the present time. Same as what you said, but more tame in my opinion. 66.96.64.38 00:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Just confirming that I typed that. I'd like to know if you accept my apology, or if it's too late. 71.115.218.238 01:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Hatnote placement

Place hatnotes at the very top of the article, before images and templates... — It's pretty visible there why. If this is your reason, then my reason is that I don't mind doing all that work to follow a manual of style. I am now asking you to revert your edit per the WP:HAT guideline. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 19:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Really, I don't have to explain my reason anywhere if I'm adhering a guideline that exists. You seem to be the only user opposing and next time, please leave a more civil response on my talk page. I'll ask for another person's view if that'll help. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 19:56, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Do we have an agreement? Can we follow the hat rule or should an expert I know of step in? Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 20:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch for understanding. There is an interesting discussion going on here and you're welcome to add your comments or concerns. Lord Sesshomaru (talkedits) 20:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Science is with a c not s, [1]. So that will be deleted. Thanks. Phgao 10:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah gotcha. Phgao 10:14, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Could this redirect somewhere? Maybe to expression? I really don't know if this can redirect somewhere that's why I'm asking. TheBlazikenMaster 11:22, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you referring to What the hell? If so, there is no article for that "expression", so there is no need to redirect it. - Rjd0060 13:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
There's no article by that name. Feel free to create one, redirect it to expression, if someone disagrees with your judgement, they'll simply revert it and probably contact you. -RyanLupin (talk/contribs) 14:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I don't think either of you understood my point. I'm not asking if there is an article about that particular one. I'm asking what article would make most sense for that redirect? TheBlazikenMaster 20:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Why would you create a redirect if it didn't need to be created? GlassCobra 20:53, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, it would be useful, since "what the hell" is a common term in sentences. TheBlazikenMaster 20:54, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
But we don't have any articles that would be relevant to a redirect by that name, as you've already been told. GlassCobra 20:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Ok, fine. TheBlazikenMaster 20:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

{{HelpMe}}

Someone mind explaining why this became a redirect? TheBlazikenMaster 19:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi TheBlazikenMaster, It appears the two were merged, which seems like a valid thing, per SnowFire's reasoning. I'd encourage you to discuss the issue on Talk:Spelling if you disagree. Hope that helps! ArielGold 20:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Underconstruction Template

The {{underconstruction}} template is for cases when editors are actively engaged in major editing or expansion of the article. Please note the third sentence of the template "If this article has not been edited in several days please remove this template." It is not meant to be in place for a considerable period of time. If the article is not actively being edited, then it shouldn't be there. Tagging an article as under construction discourages other editors from contributing to the article. They assume it is actively being edited. Every article on Wikipedia is still in development. This tag's purpose is to lessen the chance of edit conflicts or speedy deletion due to little content.

I have re-removed the tags from List of Pokémon (101-120), List of Pokémon (381-400), and List of Pokémon (401-420) as these articles are not being edited frequently so there's little chance of an edit conflict and they don't have to worry about speedy deletion per {{db-nocontext}} or {{db-nocontent}}.

By the way, if you have an issue with a bot, the best approach is to raise the issue with the bot's operator (which should always be identified on the bot's user page). Simply reverting a bot is usually not productive as it will merely repeat the same behavior. It was just chance that I noticed these.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 21:21, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, regarding your comment on Spaceships of EVE Online, your search for "Megathron" yeilded the aforementioned page because a Megathron is a space ship from the game EVE Online. The villain you were looking for is Megatron (note the lack of a 'h'). -- RichardSlater (About) / (Talk) 12:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon article

I declined the unprotection request on it after I saw yesterday's sleeper socks. I have it watchlisted; I'll help when I'm able. -Jéské (Blah v^_^v) 01:46, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Your Comment

"Can you please re-post that to the correct section?"

Um, no. You've already read it, so I have no further use for those words. Best regards, Liquidfinale (Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ) 20:37, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Hi, OK, you appear to require an explanation: I only referred to the Ten Commandments as a supplementary example to the point I was making about your question relating to Bad Boys II. Your original question about the former had already been answered by others (indeed, someone ended up creating the required stub), so I felt no need to directly reply to it. Best regards, Liquidfinale (Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ) 21:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

What would be the best place to redirect this to? TheBlazikenMaster 13:05, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Does it even need one? Otherwise I'd suggest Yahoo!#Products and services. -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 03:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

re: "Pointless text"

Then I suggest that in the future you pay attention to what you're reverting. A simple click of the Edit button and then removal of the no wiki tag was all that was needed. Reverts are to be taken seriously, after all. María (críticame) 18:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

What the hell?

Every once in a while, while looking for something, I get [[2]] as one of the results, but that redirect got removed a month or so ago. What's up with that? TheBlazikenMaster 10:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand the question. What is it that you look for that gets you a redirect to a website? Into The Fray T/C 10:49, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
No, it's not a website, as one of search results, sometimes I get this result as one of the results, a non-existance page. This must be a bug or something. TheBlazikenMaster 10:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh, sometimes the search database runs behind the real time changes to Wikipedia. So something that gets deleted today, may still show up in the search results for a while. And likewise something you add today might not show up in search results for a while, either. Could that be the issue? Into The Fray T/C 10:54, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but since I can't do anything about it, and it's unlikely that anyone else can within a day, I will just remove the help tag. TheBlazikenMaster 10:57, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Nonsensal

I've declined the speedy delete of Nonsensal since it survived an RFD. Why does anything need to be done about this redirect? It seems like a fairly-plausible misspelling. It dosn't cost us much to keep a redirect around even if it's not used that much. ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 14:52, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Countries with original languages

I don't think you should worry about it ... it's clear that you created the category in good faith and I doubt that there is anyone who's been editing as long as you have who hasn't had at least one of their creations deleted. The topic itself is an interesting one to think about and there probably exists some literature on it (so a list may be a viable option). Anyway, I've gone ahead and closed the nomination. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 22:58, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to echo Black Falcon's supportive comments, and to apologise for the rather harsh tone of my own comments at CfD. I have had categories deleted too, and I know can feel like a rejection, but if you can look on this category as a learning experience about the complex guidelines and precedents of wikipedia categorisation I hope it'll feel like time well-spent. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
I have to insert a third me too. We all make mistakes, it is how we handle them that matters - and you handled this exemplary. Anyone willing to admit they made a mistake deserves kudos! henriktalk 01:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

shower sect-stub

Even though I agree, I think you should add a new discussion to the shower talk page so people can fix the section more easily. After all, tags are fixed by talk pages. TheBlazikenMaster 23:11, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I didn't really have anything to say other than that this section needs to have more content added, and I think the tag communicates that effectively and more visibly than a note on the talk page. If people simply add content to the section, someone will eventually feel that the section is long enough and they will remove the tag. There's not necessarily any need to discuss the issue on the talk page, unless there's disagreement or someone wants to list specific points that still need to be added. -- Beland 23:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

I still need answer.

{{HelpMe}}Go to this page, and answer me there. I really need to know why the page is only about first appearance in comics. TheBlazikenMaster 09:54, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

It appears that the term "First appearance" has an especially important meaning in the comic book field, and the referenced article is specifically related to comics. If you would like to add cartoons, movies, and television characters, I suggest you add them to the article as new headings. Another option would be to rename the article as First appearance (comics) and create a new article for other media types following the same naming convention. Hope this helps! Hoof Hearted 15:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about me adding the empty sections (here), I'm just about to fill them up now, I had started making the edit when I remembered I had to do something; so I quickly saved it. Sorry for the confusion. Cheers, Qst 18:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering, was I right to redirect it to death? TheBlazikenMaster 19:41, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey! Elimination might mean other thing than death. Like... Some think like a robot can be eliminated. If you eliminate a robot, it's not dead, right? :) well... just my opinion. that's why i didnt remove the Ilyushka88 19:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Fine, I will speedy the redirect. Come to think of it, sometimes eliminated can also mean out of game. TheBlazikenMaster 19:48, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey. Sorry the confusion, but i recreated Eliminated and redirected it to Elimination. I think that might be the best action. Sorry if i confused you. Ilyushka88 19:58, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

{{HelpMe}} I don't know where I can invite more votes. And I don't want the results to be because of few voters. I got no clue what WikiProject or what talk page to use. Please help me. TheBlazikenMaster 17:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, a discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion is not a vote: see WP:VOTE. Secondly, inviting more users to a discussion may be frowned upon, depending upon how it is done: see WP:CANVASS for how to do it without annoying anyone. Algebraist 17:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) I'm sure people who frequent RfD as a matter of habit will comment on the discussion shortly. I don't think there is any WikiProject that this would fall under, unfortunately. You may be able to post a notice on the talk pages for List of internet slang phrases and fuck, since they seem to be the proposed targets for the redirect. I wouldn't recommend speaking to editors directly to invite them, however, as canvassing for votes is generally frowned upon. We don't actually vote for deletion or other results, it's gathered by consensus. I hope this has helped some. Hersfold (t/a/c) 17:44, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was looking for an article that has guide on trimming plot section. Is any guide like that available? Without a guide I'm doomed, it's almost impossible to tell what scenes of a movie are noteworthy and which aren't. TheBlazikenMaster 22:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

I do not think so. I think you may want to look at the help contents. Try that. If it doesn't work, replace the helpme template. -Goodshoped 23:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
