Amazing Race Wikipedia Starts!
Hello, Shappy. This is a reminder that Amazing Race Wikipedia will start very soon. At 00.00 (or whereabouts), our host Firestorm will place the first Detour on your submissions page. Again, the Detour is a choice between two tasks; both members of the team choose one task and work together to complete it. A Roadblock is a task only one team member must perform; he/she may not have any help from the other team member. Good luck and enjoy the Race! :-) Shappy (talk · contribs) and Firestorm (talk · contribs) --EdwardsBot (talk) 13:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:OVERUSE is useful, but it's a bit out of date now - I keep meaning to update it myself with some of the more useful debates that have taken place recently. Still, it's a good place to start. Black Kite 21:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
I reverted your deletion of the Quincy Jones & Elizabeth Taylor references because their non-attendance (especially Liz's) has been reported by numerous sources; in that case it was more appropriate to add "fact" tags (since I don't have time to look them up myself). I was doing that along with adding hidden text to deter (though it certainly won't prevent) further unsourced additions to the official guest list (I had already removed Madonna & Beyoncé); your deletion caused an edit collision, so I had to re-edit the section and copy & paste my text. --RBBrittain (talk) 11:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

removing csd tags on articles not created by you
Regarding your question here [2] yes, you absolutely are allowed to do that. Numerous users (myself included) have tried to point out mistaken CSD tags to this user recently, but he apparently refuses to discuss the matter or review the CSD criteria. Beeblebrox (talk) 03:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Apology & remaining concern
You are right; I was mistaken. You undertook a short discussion on the subject. Try Talk:Fascism or Talk:Sarah Palin if you laboring under the mistaken impression that the discussion on Blastoise is a thorough discussion. The former especially is a good example of how to categorize a compromise wording; unfortunately it seems that the Blastoise discussion is bogged down over the much more basic aesthetic of notability, and subverted by AfD and reverts; looking at the pros isn't going to help much if the basics aren't mastered.

WikiCup participates in the Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) iMatthew talk at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
On the road again
I'll be going away on Sunday for 3-4 weeks. Could you please keep an eye on my current Simpsons GAC noms? Also, I'm supposed to be working on some articles for the season 3 topic drive (although I haven't started work on any of them). If you want to work on those articles, you can just take my name off and do it. I don't know why we have so many drives (one for each season) going, it kind of defeats the purpose of an organised drive (the purpose being to pool our abilities and make a concentrated effort) to suddenly have a dozen drives. Anyway, have fun. -- Scorpion0422 17:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:NODRAMA reminder
Thanks for signing up for the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Wikipedia stands to benefit from the improvements in the article space as a result of this campaign. This is a double reminder. First, the campaign begins on July 18, 2009 at 00:00 (UTC). Second, please remember to log any articles you have worked on during the campaign at Wikipedia:The Great Wikipedia Dramaout/Log. Thanks again for your participation! --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 21:16, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the above FL needs alternative text for its images. Normally, I'd do it myself, but you probably know the images better than I do. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 16:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for making WP:NODRAMA a success!
Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status. You may find the following links helpful in nominating your work:
- T:TDYK for Did You Know nominations
- WP:GAC for Good Article nominations
- WP:FAC for Featured Article nominations
- WP:FLC for Featured List nominations
- WP:FPC for Featured Picture nominations
Again, thank you for making this event a success! --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 02:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
About that, that is not original research. Original research is making up your own theory or statement for what happened, or what might of or could of happened, or interpriting something that could be put out of context and making your idea of what happened a fact. What I put in the cultural refrences is not original research at all, the title "Boy-Scoutz n the Hood" is similar to "Boyz n the Hood" and is therefore a play of the title, all the way down to the spelling, capitalization and pronouncation. And also, not to sound rude or anything but most Simpsons Episode articles contain something relating the episode title to be a play on an existing title, again not to sound rude or anything. Also I disagree with it needing a source as the producers, writers, directors or any staff members of The Simpsons intend it to be a play on a title. Anyways, hope you understand. Thanks. --Taylor Karras (talk) 04:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Greetings from New Brunswick. Thanks for fixing the issue with File:University Cup.JPG, although I did avoid uploading it to commons for a reason. -- Scorpion0422 13:24, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- I would be if the weather would co-operate. At least I`m back in a province where English is the primary language (as opposed to Quebec, where my very basic French was ridiculed quite a bit). I might be on again tomorrow, but then I most likely won`t have any internet access for the remaining time. Please keep an eye on the season 21 page as there is some comic con info coming out (it also helps to do a google search every few days. I do a google news search for "The Simpsons" and you sometimes find some pretty helpful stuff). -- Scorpion0422 13:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Cheers! I'm suprised it's got so long so quickly... Anyway, it's almost done, but I just found the mother of all sources so it's got a while to go still (it's a four and a half hour interview and after 5 minutes Brooks has already cleared up three huge ambiguities!) However I can't use it yet because I don't know how to cite it, so I need your advice. Here's a link to the first part. As you can see they are Youtube videos, but they were uploaded to the official channel of the archive group that recorded them, and their site (which is a subsite of the Emmys) links to the Youtube uploads. So... I don't know what to do, should I link to the Youtube videos? Or just use the cite interview template? Gran2 21:59, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- Nice work on Lisa the Veg, should pass this time! Anyhoo, I've been trying to improve the format of the guest stars list.

- I thought about leaving him out, I mean he appears over 50 times. But while Marcia Wallace has essentially got status equal to Pamela Hayden and Russi Taylor, Phil was really just a (really, really) recurring guest star like Kelsey Grammer and Albert Brooks. It's a grey area; the Complete Guide to OFF book and the BBC source all mention Phil practically every time, but almost never mention Marcia. Gran2 15:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, since Will & Grace isn't your thing, maybe we can work on some Friends episodes, since we do have that in common. Or do something else, I guess. All up to you. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:34, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Sure, my e-mail is thinkblue_d@yahoo.com. Once again, thank you for your help. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:40, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I have a question. I found two interesting things and maybe more in the future. Okay, I found a couple of sources about how Friends had some Diet Coke campaign and that some people were not happy about it. [3] The other one, Andre Agassi, who at the time was dating Brooke Shields, was on set and apparently wasn't thrilled that she kissed Matt LeBlanc. Do these two things warrant to be included in the article? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:51, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Will do. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Ooh, forgot about that. I'll add them shortly. Hey, I found this article, entitled "FRIENDS' POISED TO PLUNGE INTO OBLIVION", and I think you might want to look at it, its in regards to the episode, so. I can't "summarize" it, maybe you'll have a better chance at it. Thank you, I appreciate the praise. I was bored and I had his article in mind to work on. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- You sure? Its not a problem, really. Yeah, check out the article. It might be helpful it might not, but I thought I should let you know about it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Its good, but he's harsh, though. Man, I a lot of negative reviews for this episode. I added another review, hope its helpful. Are you gonna search for production info.? I've checked, but the stuff I found is already listed, so. I think everything is set, but I'm leaving it to you. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:57, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I "expanded" it. Take a look. Also, I left the plot summary alone, cause I don't want to go into detail about the plot, so. Also, I was gonna add that the reason the episode garnered negative reviews was because of the guest stars, but I didn't include it. Just a feeling not to include it. I'm gonna add something from the production section. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I misread the article and thought that the movie was released on-line, so I deleted it as non-notable web content.

Simpsons
Hi, Thanks for your message on The Simpsons wikiproject. I chose The Heartbroke Kid as I spotted it on the "unreferenced" section of the Simpsons project and have improved it as much as I can. It would be great if we could collaborate on one of the earlier episodes. We will have to check which ones are yet to become GAs and work on them. Let me know what you decide on my talkpage. Thanks. 03md 21:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Shall we have a try at doing both, starting with The Otto Show - it shouldn't take too long. 03md 21:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Are you doing any work on these episodes today? I have started adding info to both articles. 03md 19:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- I have already removed a great clump of unreferenced material from the cultural references section (see the article's history) but some of the facts can be readded if they can be cited. 03md 19:48, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for your work so far on the articles. I would be interested to help with The Simpsons project in terms of achieving featured articles - just let me know which episodes I should work on after we have got Saturdays of Thunder and The Otto Show to GA. 03md 21:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- I am away for the next week and probably won't get a chance to edit wiki, so can you see through our joint The Otto Show and Saturdays of Thunder nominations? I will resume our project when I return. Thanks mate. 03md 23:12, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: W&G
A new section was for the best. I guess that works. Um, the cast got cars as gifts from NBC, because they hit their 100th episode, so. Does that seem pointless to include? Thanks, I appreciate it. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:34, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Ye Olde Tavern edits
Per your request: See WP:WARN. The templated warnings are available for everyone to use. But a friendly message on their talk page is better, especially if they are an establised and productive editor. Edison (talk) 19:12, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- I left him a message. He seems like a good-faith editor, though with a conflict of interest. The answer to that is writing an objective and well referenced article instead of an ad. That is doable. We should not be too quick to warn and threaten new users with legalisms. But copyright is copyright. Edison (talk) 19:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- When you did the cleanup edits, you removed the claim about being on "Vermont Register of Historic Places.." Is see that claim associated with several inns of the period in the state. It would be a major step toward proving notability. Is there a Vermont register separate from the National Register, on which I could not find it? Edison (talk) 20:32, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- I found a Vermont Register, but they do not have an online listing: [4]. They want people to email them and ask if a place is on the register, which would not serve as a reliable source (their email to you or me). I don't doubt that this place is on the Vermont Register, since it is as old as several other places which assert that they are. Edison (talk) 20:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- The article has been whipped into shape with amazing speed. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Did you know. A new article can be featured on the Main page, but is needs a "hook." From the business's website: "In 1902 as the Fairview Hotel, the tavern became headquarters for the movement to license the sale of "spirituous beverages". Two years later the revocation of the license closed the hotel." That might work as a hook. Merely dating back to 1790 would not be impressive to European readers. Any other possible DYK hooks? It must be a referenced fact. The article must be less than 5 days old to qualify. Edison (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

WP:SCV Clearance of GFDL articles earlier today
Hi Theleftorium, and belated thanks for taking over at WP:SCV and tackling that seemingly endless backlog. While reviewing the page history a moment ago, though, I noted you cleared several articles from [5] as GFDL licensed. This is unfortunately no longer possible since we switched to dual licensing on Jun 16th, we can have text either licensed as CC-BY-SA only, or CC-BY-SA + GFDL, but we cannot use any content licensed under GFDL only.
I know, it sounds crazy and counterintuitive, but GFDL and CC-BY-SA are not compatible. See also the long discussion at User talk:Coren/Archives/2009/July#Bot is tagging GDFL content for more background on this very issue. Best, MLauba (talk) 17:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

So
I eventually managed to get the concerns put on the correct page and notified the correct reviewer. Haha. I think you would admit that this review is really tiny. I wish everyone would have the same six standards written up on the review so it can at least be visible that they were checked. The reviewing statements were more superficial and stuff that isn't as important to MoS (and thus, GA). GA should be the opportunity to get a decent peer review and feedback, which most editors really want and seek out. It is just sad when people merely check things off and push it through without really looking. People put a lot of time into an article and it could at least be looked at. Blah.

Autoreviewer
Ciao, Henrik. As new page patrollers are sick of seeing your stellar articles shaming them, I've granted you the autoreviewer right. With great power comes great responsibility and all that jazz, Skomorokh 16:13, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, a few ec's - but no problem. Sometimes I'm just too slow. Thanks for jumping in and cleaning things up there. — CactusWriter | needles 12:16, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I think your version was probably fine as it stood. I only reduced it a bit. I mean, after all, there are only a few ways that we can write the exact same few facts. — CactusWriter | needles 12:27, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Swedish question
Hi Lefty, I have a small Swedish question if you don't mind: Finns det något svenskt idiom som motsvarar "please bear with me (for a few seconds)"? decltype (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- Not quite, but thanks anyway =) To provide some more context, consider: "This may sound like a stupid question, but please bear with me ...". Or "I am going to present an argument that may sound really silly at first, but please bear with me ...". decltype (talk) 06:30, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Hehe, that's a nice phrase. Thanks! decltype (talk) 06:55, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Kommer ihåg att DN-kritikern Jonas Thente använde just det uttrycket som ett exempel på (den amerikanska) engelskans överlägsna smidighet och snabbhet i en krönika i somras - i kontrast mot att svenskan "inte längre bildar några nya och fräscha metaforer". Visst är det snyggt, men jag tippar att Thente hade överdoserat på nya hiphopsläpp och tv-serier och förväxlade ett språks inneboende vitalitet med vad brukarna kan och vill göra av det./Strausszek (talk) 23:14, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Anna Anka
Vi får väl se hur det går med Anna Anka, i likhet med Joe the Plumber och Maria Borelius (för tre år sedan) är det nog en person som kommer att dra till sig en hel del redigeringar. Jag plockade bort namnen på hennes svenska adoptivföräldrar och tidigare (kortvarige) make, som redan lyfts ut på svenska WP - det finns ingen anledning att ta med den typen av detalljer här. "idiosyncratic" var min formulering, men hon har onekligen gett programmet en rivstart just genom att sticka ut, på gott och ont. /Strausszek (talk) 14:34, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Simpsons GAs
Hi mate, Sorry I haven't been working on Simpsons GAs recently as I have been doing other projects. I will get back to work on The Otto Show and any other episodes that you want me to do. Thanks. 03md 22:04, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- Which articles do you think I should work on as you seem to be getting through quite a lot of Simpsons GAs. 03md 20:00, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Re:The One After the Superbowl
Oh, yeah, thanks for reminding me about the list! I'll review it today - good luck with the Cup! The Flash {talk} 23:11, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
Thure de Thulstrup
It's nominated, though it could really use some expansion, if possible - it's kinda borderline in length. Can you try to expand it a bit with the sources you found? Shoemaker's Holiday Over 208 FCs served 13:02, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Your help
Can you make my Hidden Box look nice like yours? :) Thanks, CTJF83Talk 16:49, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

- Are you able to fix This so the images are at the top, and don't mess the rest up? Thanks, CTJF83 chat 16:23, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Once again you provide the perfect fix! Thanks! CTJF83 chat 16:30, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- I got a huge resloution of 1920x1080, does the top of my user page look ok (I'm assuming your res is smaller than that) or is it all scrunched together? CTJF83 chat 16:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks CTJF83 chat 16:44, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Is there a way to stagger each quote section? adding colons doesn't work? I'd like them in the center of the pictures alsoCTJF83 chat 17:14, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Re: Brother
Sure, I'll take a look. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:08, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome. :) I don't really see it as original research, since the song is played in the episode. As well as the other songs. [6] The band who performs the song, as well as the rest, are not mentioned, but the songs do play. Maybe if we replace the cite episode with cite video? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:09, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yay, they both passed. Sure, like I said, no rush. :) Hey, do you think "Marry Me" has a chance at FA? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:43, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
