Happy New Year

(Feliz Año Nuevo)

Happy New Year from Tony the Marine 02:51, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I wish you and your loved ones all the happiness in the world this coming year.

Cheetah Girls

It was either in M Magzine or Bop Magazine. I can't remember which one. It was also in Blast Magazine but these are al small teen magazines and they don't have anything online about it. It's in Blast! Magazine for sure, because I have it, but I have no way to upload it onto the computer. It was also annoced by Adrienne Bailon in the October issue of Disney Adventures.

• Ok, I'll send it to you as soon as possible. Jtervin 08:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

There you go! Jtervin 00:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Of Human Bondage image

Hi, so why did you send me that message in the first place if you were going to replace the screenshot with a PD image? Best wishes, <KF> 20:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Hello

Why, thank you sir, for those kind words! It's good to be back (ish) and I really like what you've done with the place. I kinda dropped out of view when becoming involved with the organization of Quakecon (the event, not the article) some time ago, but intend to resume some wikitasks here and there. My main Wiki pipe dream would be the FA-isation of the Sarah McLachlan article, which is in real need of some major overhaul and restructuring (the article, not the artist). We'll see. In any case, feel free to contact me if you need some help with one of your editing endeavours! Cheers, --Plek 18:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm sure it must take some courage to share the stage with Björn Again... Let's file my unfortunate edit under Unintended consequences. :-) --Plek 20:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Kylie Minogue category cleanup

(cross-posted to User talk:Underneath-it-All)

Greetings! I'm trying to de-spamify the long list of category tags in the Kylie Minogue article. I've created a section on the talk page to discuss things: Talk:Kylie Minogue#Category cleanup. I'd appreciate your views on this monumental task. Thanks! --Plek 16:03, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Dorothy Malone

Hello! I see you added an infobox to this article. I would appreciate your explaining why you feel an infobox that simply reiterates facts already in the article is necessary. I realize they unfortunmately have become commonplace, but personally I don't understand their purpose. If Wikipedia is to be considered an encyclopedia, how does an infobox fit in with that concept? Thanks for your input! SFTVLGUY2 16:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Had I been active in Wikipedia at the time the infoboxes were nominated for deletion, I definitely would have voted against them. Are you familiar with USA Today? It's a newspaper designed for those on the run, people too busy to read in-depth coverage of news events. It's filled with blurbs and colorful charts and graphics designed for those who want to know everything at a mere glance. That is exactly how I view the infobox. I agree with everything you said re: consistency . . . it's just too bad the infobox is considered an acceptable part of Wiki format.

I'm a big contributor of articles about plays and musicals. I can't begin to tell you how much those differ in style. Slowly but surely I'm trying to re-write them to conform to the way I feel they should be written. So far, nobody has objected!

Thanks for your detailed and intelligent response. I appreciate your taking the time to write. SFTVLGUY2 17:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Confessions Tour....

Hey there. Long time no chat. Could u please pop by and add ur two cents into the 'Confessions Tour' controversy? Thanks! PatrickJ83 00:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you treasure. In addition I re-wrote it in a similar fashion to Kylie article mention on her tour. PatrickJ83 02:36, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Danni Minogue samples

Sir! I've posted a message at User talk:Underneath-it-All#Dannii Minogue samples about my work-in-progress to add some song samples to the Dannii Minogue article. As you've gone through all that on its "sister article" (geddit? heheheh... ahem), maybe you could add your two cents to some of my comments there. If it isn't too much trouble, of course. Cheers! --Plek 22:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments! I have just finished uploading and documenting the bunch, and the result can be admired/mocked here: Talk:Dannii Minogue#Sample jukebox. I think I'll leave it to the capable hands of my fellow Wikipedians to insert the boxes into the article. And yes, one or two extra "early" songs would probably be a good idea. Let's see if any special requests come in.

I have cobbled together a fair-use clause, using yours and those of others as examples. I think the result is decent enough to pass muster. It might even satisfy the MAFIAA (although, given their modus operandi, some bribes might prove more effective in keeping them at bay :). --Plek 22:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

...and now "This Is It" has been added as well. Oh, the Humanity! --Plek 22:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Madonna picture...

I've uploaded a new picture that isn't butt ugly to the Madge article like the "performing" picture was. This is, to me, a FAIR USE promotional image like the images we've used in the Jean Harlow article. If this is not ok, can we please find an attractive image of her? What are papparazi for anyway? To take pictures that are usable by no one? PatrickJ83 23:56, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Timothy Hutton

hiya - I came across your comment somewhere about wanting some uniformity in infoboxes for Oscar winners. Timothy Hutton had none, so I added one that I think is correct, but could you have a look? Thanks - hope all's well. Tvoz | talk 08:38, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

thanks - yes, things are good! Tvoz | talk 00:15, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Palm Island ACOTF

Hi Rossrs, I notice you made an good analysis of the Palm Island article here last year, I was wondering if you had any further comments in light of all the activity there at the moment due to it being the current Collaboration of the Fortnight. Due to your experience of bringing articles up to feature status, your opinions are of huge interest to me as that is supposed to be objective of ACOTF. Any input you can add at the open tasks list would be much appreciated as we only have a week left. Thanks, WikiTownsvillian 14:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thank you

Welcome to the Twilight Zone indeed! :) In any case, and in the interest of WP:AGF, you might want to take a look at [1] and [2]. Both edits got wiped out by my anti-discussion-blanking revert. It looks like the anonymous IP editor tried to make constructive changes to the article—but did so on the talk page. Maybe you can make something out of it.

Notability of User218.217.208.98

Welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome your help to create new content, but your recent additions (such as User218.217.208.98) are considered nonsense. Please refrain from creating nonsense articles. If you want to test things out, edit the sandbox instead. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Turlo Lomon 08:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

And now the non-template response. It appears you created an article when you meant to update a user page. Turlo Lomon 08:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm in the process of listing a bunch of IPs as sock puppets. Is this wrong? I'm following the directions and examples on the sock puppet page. Am I not supposed to be tagging each page? thanks Rossrs 09:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

You need to read the second part of my message. You made an error on one of the ones you did. It created a regular article instead of a user page. Turlo Lomon 09:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Be sure to include a colon (:) after "User". Omitting it was the mistake. Flyingtoaster1337 09:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I would wait him out... sooner or later it will stop. Hopefully. Flyingtoaster1337 09:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

If they are being really persistently annoying, drop a word to the admins' incident noticeboard and ask them to decide whether anybody warrants blocking. There isn't any need for a sockpuppet check if they're all doing roughly the same thing - their behaviour alone will nail them. Flyingtoaster1337 13:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Toomuchtrivia tags

Many of the tags were added to pages that had only three or four trivia notes. I'm sorry I did not have the time to look over and review each one individually, but I believed, as I was right, that other editors such as yourselves would reinstate if the tag did indeed make sense. However, when this ip address had more than a hundred edits all with the same tag, and all within a couple of minutes of each other, how can it be anything but disruptive. I'm not saying they were all out of place, but a good number were.TheGreenFaerae 23:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

From Claudette To Vivien

That's great news! What fun. Nothing I like better than rewriting gibberish into English. But seriously though. My suggestion would be to let our Osaka cinephile write himself out, do all his edits for as long as he likes and when he has nothing more to add (hopefully), then do 1 big revert, rather than keep reverting every addition, because that only seems to provoke him to more depths of triviality. That's what I'd do.

James Dean

Thank you for your third party statement on the Talk:James Dean page. I have now deleted the entire sexuality section and rewritten the relationships section. Perhaps you may have a look at it. See [6] and James_Dean#Personal_relationships. I hope other users will improve the quality of the other sections. Onefortyone 18:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Instead of improving the article, the sockpuppet of another user has only deleted what I have written. See [7] and [8]. Perhaps you may also keep a watchful eye on the James Dean article. Thanks. Onefortyone 23:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Text

Right, but we can't add text, then source it to a Wikimirror. That is essentially the same thing as using Wikipedia to source itself and that is not sufficient to verify text. I probably should have clarified that on the talkpage...--Isotope23 12:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Refs and paragraphs

Regarding this edit: I've been using refs sparingly, including at the end of its necessity even if there are separate paragraphs between the start and end of a section using the one source (the reason: I think using the same source in successive paragraphs is as redundant as in successive sentences). Have I been wrong all this time? RadioKirk (u|t|c) 01:42, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Kim Possible images should be kept

I noticed that you tagged the following images related to Kim Possible episodes for deletion;

• Image:CarTrouble.jpg
• Image:TheGoldenYears.jpg
• Image:JobUnfair.jpg
• Image:VirTuRon.jpg
• Image:TheFearlessFerret.jpg
• Image:Exchange.jpg

All those images have {{tv-screenshot}} tags, therefore they're needed for each episode. The one you put up for deletion for "Exchange" was for the infobox, until it was replaced with a duplicate. ---- DanTD 15:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

no, I didn't tag them for deletion. I tagged them as missing source information needed to justify fair use and notified the uploader who then added the necessary information. This was in April 2006. They have since been listed for deletion by another user, so you would need to send a message to that user if you wish to comment. They are currently tagged - by someone else - as lacking a fair use rationale. The tag that has been added explains what is required to fix the problem. Rossrs 21:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I've seen the error of my ways. But even though I didn't upload any of them, I stand by the title of my message. ---- DanTD 00:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Claudette Colbert

I'm not very knowledgeable about this subject, but it sure appears to me that our sockpuppeting friend there is engaging in tendentious editing. I'd fully support you boldly going back to whatever version from the past you feel is more appropriate. At this point I'm getting very close to initiating a ban discussion about him because at this is pretty much a single purpose account and because of the ISP he uses, blocking is only a stop gap.--Isotope23 12:38, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Not all that odd given the fact he has stated he is Japanese with a few of his past accounts and that IP is a Japanese dialup... but right, the problem here is the fact that the editor doesn't want to discuss anything. I'll chalk up some of it to English being his second language, but continuing to add WP:POV, WP:OR, and rejecting any attempt to discuss is a big problem.--Isotope23 13:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Right... I found that pretty amusing too. I agree, there are nuances here that he is missing, but it is his attitude that is the problem here, not English as a secondary language. We have plenty of ESL contributors here who are very productive participants in the community. Some of this misunderstandings are probably rooted in language, but the way he approaches article edits and working with others is the reason I started a community ban discussion. He is making more work for everyone else.--Isotope23 15:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I've found four more accounts of apparently Japanese origin that have been editing numerous Claudette Colbert film articles in a similar way to Wptfe: Svsvtkag, Fjykbgv, JadaDeville, and M.A.Dicker. --PhantomS 03:38, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Jim Dean's huge fan

Hey, Ross - whaddyamean? - maybe the guy's father weighed 300 pounds! Nice to see you! By the way - I stopped arguing with Binks or whatever his name is over on Bee Gees about keeping the extremely short line about having their major success when they returned to England.... I mean, who cares? I won't be surprised if some English chauvinist changes it, but c'est la vie! Cheers! Tvoz |talk 23:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Valerie's Birth Year

I serve on the Hollywood Board of Directors of Screen Actors Guild with Valerie and have known her for almost a decade. Someone noted her birth year in print as 1940 years ago and she just took it as a fortunate mistake It's 1939. That's as much "verification" as you're gonna get.MrEguy | ♠♥♣♦ 02:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

80s singles

Hi Ross

thanks for your feedback. I wanted to give people the opportunity to contact me first before wiping what people had done before. I understand you put the page together originally?

I have contributed a number of pages in this genre, including these:

List of number-one singles in Australia during the 1960s List of number-one singles in Australia during the 1970s List_of_number-one_albums_in_Australia_during_the_1960s List_of_number-one_albums_in_Australia_during_the_1970s List_of_number-one_albums_in_Australia_during_the_1980s

I got the idea for the layout from looking through what was on offer overseas, and thought the best version was this one, also from Down Under (NZ): List_of_number-one_singles_in_1981_(NZ) I like the fact that visually you get the sense of the passage of time in this format and the idea of which songs were number one for a longer time period visually, rather than just a number in a column of figures representing a number of weeks; although I understand your argument, that it may look cumbersome, or take up a bit more space to do it the "NZ way". I compiled a website on Go-Set charts last year and followed the model you describe there: http://www.poparchives.com.au/gosetcharts/singles.html , although I can't say I'm 100% happy with it, I prefer the layout here on wikipedia.

Another couple of considerations: adding more dates would potentially widen the columns, leaving less room for the display of the images on the right hand side, especially in older browsers/with lower screen resolutions (which would scrunch everything up more). At the Dec/Jan period of each year, there is no need to add: "2 weeks this year and 5 weeks the following year", as it's clear from the table what is going on, as it now stands. This also applies when a song was number one for a few weeks, then something else comes along, then the old one returns to the top again... (eg. Flashdance / Australiana in 1983) it makes it easier to understand this when it's in the "NZ" visual format. I'd really like to leave it as it is please, if you don't mind, as it would mean a lot of work going back through all the pages above and standardising it. Can you live with that ... please? I did not touch the ARIA singles Jun 88+ and left them in the format you composed it in, to distinguish it from the Kent charts.

I don't propose to do the 1990s, as I don't have the ARIA charts or a full set of Kent Music Report charts for the period. I don't propose touching the 2000s material either, which is also ARIA. Will leave it for someone else to fill in the missing 90s albums, it's also not my era of music... I do have singles data from the 1940s & 50s, though.... maybe someday in the future, although that s not my era of music either!

As far as quotes and itals are concerned, that is much easier to fix, as it would be just a matter of find & replace. I noted the NZ site has both itals & quotes. I thought the quotes looked a bit clunky, which is why I decided on itals, not knowing what any standards were.

I've made / am making certain that the images used are also on other wikipedia pages as well, so that they shouldn't be removed. I also got the correct "fair usage" wording from wikipedia staff and went through and included it on every single page for each image that i uploaded. So its been a lot of work already, the whole thing!

I'll leave it as is for a week or so in case anyone else wishes to comment. Thanks again for your compliments, regards Barry in Sydney Rusty201 18:02, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
