American Idol

Is the rock 'n roll week edit okay now?


I Seek To Help & Repair! (talk) 00:51, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

No. There is already a set template established for the performance charts. Quit changing it. Gage (talk) 00:52, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

TX-14

Let me explain why I deleted TX-14 here, where I have more room. We're only including districts where the incumbent is or is considering retirement or where s/he may be in a competitive reelection. To determine how vulnerable an incumbent is to a potential or declared challenger we need a verifiable, non-partisan source saying that the incumbent may be vulnerable. For instance, regarding SC-04, we have a Politico page saying the incumbent, Bob Inglis, is vulnerable to a primary challenge. For RI-01 we have an article from The Hill saying that Congressman Patrick Kennedy may be vulnerable to a Republican challenger despite Kennedy representing a very Democratic district.

The problem with the source you provided is that it is not non-partisan, it's clearly pro- Ron Paul. If we had a source such as CQ or Politico saying Paul may be vulnerable to Jeffrey Cherry that would merit putting TX-14 on the 2008 House page. But since we don't, we have no reason to see Paul as vulnerable to a primary challenge. Just drawing a challenge isn't enough to warrant placing TX-14 on the page: we need a non-partisan source telling us that Paul may be in danger. This doesn't mean that Cherry won't become competitive or isn't already competitive, it just means that until we have a credible source saying Paul may be in danger, we shouldn't include TX-14.

I hope this made more sense than my other explanation did. If you have any questions about what I said or disagreements, please put them on the 2010 House Elections discussion page. CylonCAG (talk) 01:07, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the Finale

I've opened a discussion on the American Idol (season 8) talk page.  iMatthew :  Chat  19:17, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Homer Simpson.svg)

Thanks for uploading File:Homer Simpson.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

We have a user adding the "new" formatted tables without a consensus. Any help would be appreciated. I myself am very tired of the constant changes, almost all without a real consensus. --User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 12:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Obama Timeline

Great work and additions. My hope is that you won't mind if I caution you to be brief and controlled in your descriptions, etc. It is a timeline which is intended to be a chronology of "He was here, He did that. He met her:then signed a bill into law.'" with as little commentary as possible. The wider the door to commentary gets, the more political POV's we will encounter as the Administration proceeds. So far, it has been understood. Again, great edits and photos. (Not to sure about Judge Sotomayor Mom comments)...Take Care....--Buster7 (talk) 01:58, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Gage...not to crazy about "reset". It seems a bit jargoney. I'm gonna change to "restructure". HAGD.--Buster7 (talk) 13:08, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
That's fine, I put it in quotes because I had actually taken it from the CNN article that I added as a reference, and Secretary Clinton had used the exact word "reset" a few months ago in regards to Russian relations, but I see no problem in changing it to "restructure." Gage (talk) 13:15, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Yea, Gage. I see that now. If 'reset' becomes the active media word we can always change it back.--Buster7 (talk) 21:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Continuous great work.--Buster7 (talk) 23:54, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Offer Shlomi

You're right, it is. That's pretty weird... I always knew him as Vince Offer. I wonder why he goes by Vince? <>Multi-Xfer<> (talk) 05:45, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I assume it is just a nickname he decided to give himself. Gage (talk) 06:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Overlinked

I noticed you tagged the article Christina Tchen as overlinked. I routinely check this category, and so I noticed this. I must say I do not see any irrelevant links in this article. Nor does it seem overly linked to me. It might be that the problem is the other way around: that there should be more text in this article. Anyway, I'd like to ask you to reconsider, or to remove any links you deem superfluous yourself. Debresser (talk) 23:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I was referring to all of the redlinks within the article. Is that not the correct Template to use in that case? Gage (talk) 23:04, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Did you read Wikipedia:Red link? Based on that, I would say that all redlinks in this article may be kept. I agree with you that is leaves to be desired from an estetic point of view, but I think they are all valid redlinks. Consequently, IMHO, this article is not overlinked. Debresser (talk) 00:20, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Obama kids

Hello - I'll have to look for it - there were discussions about whether there should be a separate article(s) for the girls and it was decided that they didn't have independent notability, so were more appropriately handled as part of the family article. If you could hold off, I'll locate the discussions. You're of course welcome to discuss it, and if consensus has changed, that's fine - but please don't just reinstate. Thanks Tvoz/talk 06:44, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Here's the delete discussion (speedy delete, in fact) for an earlier version of an article about Malia - there may have been additional discussions as well. I'll take a look tomorrow. Tvoz/talk 06:51, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Right, I was aware of that discussion, and that consensus of deletion was made before Obama's election as president. Anyway, if there were any other discussions regarding the article more recently, I would be glad to have a look at those as well. Thanks again. Gage (talk) 06:59, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Giorgio Napolitano

Because he is already cite just before--87.3.185.218 (talk) 18:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Right, I noticed that right after I readded his name. Do you have a reference for what you added about Giorgio Napolitano? As I was not able to find it in the reference that I had added. Gage (talk) 18:46, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Oh, nevermind, thanks for adding a reference. Gage (talk) 18:48, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Legal Adviser of the Department of State

Hi there,

Myself and Timmeh have had a strong discussion about a major change to this article. Before we did anything we wanted to get feedback from regular editors of this page, William S. Saturn, Hysteria18, Jerzeykydd, Ratemonth, JayJasper, GoodDay, Qqqqqq, GageSkidmore, Reywas92, and FallenMorgan. Please send this to anyone else I may have left and please read the thread on Ruled Out and give us your feedback.

Sotomayor Image

You're right it doesnt matter, I am sure the image will be replaced with her official supreme court portrait once it is taken anyway. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 16:30, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Hence the reason why I tentively readded her circuit court image, which I had previously removed. I think the circuit court image can suffice until her official Associate Justice portrait is released, so I will readd it now, unless you object. Gage (talk) 16:40, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
No objection here, happy editing. -TriiipleThreat (talk) 17:11, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Miss Universe svg map

Hi! It's not that I have an issue against svg format. I just prefer using the png version for the Miss Universe 2009 results map for the sake of consistency--all results map since 1952, as well as for the other major pageants, are not just in png formats, but also use the world map version with connectors. Hence, if svg format is the preferred version of this great editor, then kindly backtrack all the remaining maps just for the pageant maps to hold the same format. Joey80 (talk) 02:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

You're still not responding to this message despite changing the Miss Universe 2009 results map to svg format again. Joey80 (talk) 00:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey Gage, thanks again for keeping Timeline of the Presidency of Barack Obama constantly updated! I've been a bit neglectful since early spring and will try to get back into the routine.

Hi Gage, I have colleagues who work for Avid Technologies and they asked me to reach out to you because they have a new trademarked logo which is the legally approved version. I don't believe I have privileges to overwrite the logo you had put up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avid_Technology. I have it in JPG (see link below where I posted it to my Facebook page) ... please let me know if you can help us with this or give advice?

I can get you the names of my Avid contacts to verify the veracity of this logo, just let me know what you need from me. Thanks! Greendmedia (talk) 15:03, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've uploaded a new version. Is that sufficient for your new trademarked logo? And feel free to upload the JPG version, if it isn't. If you're too new, you can just make ten edits and you should be able to upload images. Gage (talk) 19:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

family guy season pages

Family guy does not have season DVD releases and the seasons are spread out on multiple volumes. For the case of season 5, it was released on volume5 and the second part on volume 6. The volume 6 info needs to be added to the season 5 page. It can also be added to the season 6 page since volume 6 contains episodes from that season as well.

Mark Sanford on 2012 Republican Primary Page?

I think the Sanford debate will never end, lol. I have 3 sources that are still discussing Mark Sanford in conjunction to 2012 that are less than 6 months old, but JerzeyKydd is still insisting that discussion for him has ceased for 6 months. The sources I added are less than 6 months. I agreed to take down Ensign because no one is talking him in conjunction 2012, but why are people still talking about Sanford in conjunction 2012?

Thanks. --Diamond Dave (talk) 22:16, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Family Guy

Hi, I noticed you uploaded an image of the design changes of Peter Griffin, I have two questions I would like to ask you. This "pilot" episode you took the first screenshot from, I've never heard/read about it, do you have some information about? Also, I noticed in the image description that you used the Family Guy Volume 1 DVD as a source, do you own this DVD? Because its special features might help expand the Peter Griffin article's Development section. Thanks.--Music26/11 11:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

You can actually watch the pilot episode on YouTube by simply searching for "Family Guy pilot," and you should be able to find it. And I don't have the volume one DVD, sorry. Gage (talk) 11:23, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

What do you need help with? I'm not happy with any of the pages just being merged. CTJF83 chat 22:30, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Specifically, adding references to all the articles currently tagged with the Template:Notability banner. This includes a majority of the season 3 articles. For a rough example, see this as a very basic guideline. And for the articles that were merged (without any consensus whatsoever), adding references, and reverting the merges by Feydey should help to establish notability. Gage (talk) 22:40, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Ya, an admin should know better than to just merge with no consensus and no real reason. I'll get to work on them later tonight. CTJF83 chat 22:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

How do you separate a character from a recurring one? CTJF83 chat 22:29, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
A recurring character is a supporting character, such as a coworker, a family friend, local celebrities, extended relatives and townspeople. With most of these characters as one-time jokes, a number of them have garnered expanded roles and have subsequently starred in future episodes, as well as in their own episodes. Death, Consuela and Angela are just a few examples of this. Gage (talk) 05:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

A couple of things

Hi. I've been looking over your contributions and you certainly seem to do good work here. I've gone ahead and issued you rollback rights. Please be careful with the privilege - it can be easily lost. I recommend you carefully read up on the what you should do and should not do with rollback, then practice here before using it. I'm confident you'll use it wisely. If for some reason you don't want it, let me know and I'll revert. You may wish to display {{User rollback}} on your user page.

The other thing, is you really should start archiving this talk page. It's getting rather long and unweildy.
