Hi

Why do you have to revert every edit made to the Daedalus article?

Please leave your messages below, I will reply (on your talk page) as fast as I can. Matthew 18:35, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

/me was just being bored :D .. Anyway, gosh, don't you know etiquette on talk pages?! YOU MUST ADD A HEADING! And I had to like do that for you, what's with you!? /me stops the sarcasm.. Anyway, Hi Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 19:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I took the plunge!

Well, as of a few hours ago, I took the plunge and joined the Simple Wikipedia.. This is me.. Also, we should fix up The 4400 article that I'm going to create in the next few minutes.. I really hope you want to help me, but I will not be offended if you don't xD .. Have a nice night there, you cool UK person (I LOVE THE U.K. :P )..

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Medium.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Medium.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 01:50, 7 March 2007 (UTC) i am very confused[reply]

Your vote on SEWikipedia

I've now closed User:J Di's RfA on Simple English. J Di was not promoted, at 50% support. In the interests of fairness, I decided not to count votes from users which have not made any edits to the Simple English Wikipedia except to oppose the RfA, so your vote was not counted in the final result. If you have any questions at all regarding this or anything else, please direct them to my Simple English talk page. Thanks, Archer7 18:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Desperate Housewives

Agreed on "recurring" - that was a term that had been slipping thru the edits and ought to be removed - still; "Starring", "Also Starring" and "Guest Starring" are very valid terms. If you for some reason wanna delete this details for the article I suggest you put it up for suggestion on the talk page.Pjär80 22:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Colours for Buffy articles

Why have you just gone ahead and changed all the colours related to the Buffyverse with no discussion at all. Really you should have proposed the change and explained why it should be changed rather than just going ahead and doing it.--NeilEvans 20:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Matthew, just want to say thanks a bunch for supporting my Rfa which finally past yesterday - and as you say, another for the Brit cabal! I'm honoured to serve the community, cheers again Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 19:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: The Fleet

That's the back of the Gemini I believe - you can tell by the colored cargo pods. Cyberia23 20:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is no CGI in Blake's 7 - It was made in late 1970's to 1980 and all models :) If you've seen Doctor Who, the original series - not the new one, it's comparable to that. Even though the special effects are primitive it was very interesting show. Cyberia23 20:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the BBC had a limited budget back in the day, but the new Dr. Who which they also make is really well done with the latest CGI technology. Cyberia23 20:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded a new Gemini screen shot by the way. I figured out how to capture DVD clips with my laptop. Cyberia23 20:54, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For the longest time I struggled with WinDVD and Microsoft Media Player using various screen cap programs but I'd always get a black box instead of the video image I wanted. I found out the problem was because DVD's play in a special video layer separate from your desktop. The trick was to force the DVD player to play video in the same layer as your desktop which hurt performance and made the movie choppy - yet I was still unable to get a capture since WinDVD refused to play without the layer active, and I updated to Media Player 11 and it's settings are different from Media Player 10 and below which allowed you to deactivate layers. I ended up using Snag It 8 - which allows you to catch images from the DVD layer using Active X. Now it works. Cyberia23 21:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I changed the image you made of the Galactica entering FTL. You just had the flash showing - I thought it would be better to show both the ship and the flash at the same time.

Did you change user accounts by the way? Cyberia23 21:29, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did you notice the goof in that particular scene? Prior to the jump, Galactica closed it's hangar pylons - even Tigh said they must be closed or they can't jump - however, in the jump scene, the hangar pylons are fully extended. Ronald D. Moore admitted the mistake in the commentary on the DVD. Cyberia23 21:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I need a big favour!

Hey, Matthew, um, I really like the format of List of The 4400 episodes and I was wondering if you could do that for List of Tru Calling episodes, I mean by removing the screenshots from the list page.. I am doing this for a few reasons, 1-Screenshots can take long to load for dial-up, 2-I've been much too lazy to add correct fair use rationale and reduce size, so I'm setting all of these images for deletion.. So, while you do that, I will be setting the images for deletion and removing reference to them on the individual episode pages, just to let you know that I'll be working too :P .. If you decide to do it, drop by on my talk page :) .. Thanks alot, and I'll owe you :P .. Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 22:47, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IM'ing

Nothing against you or anything, but I dislike IM's. I don't like being bothered when I'm online. Same reason why I refuse to own a cell phone and I know too many obnoxious people who'd call me constantly if I did. Cyberia23 23:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

Matthew - re: your revert at Galactica, it's not an issue. However, when did you change your mind about flags? Seems to me you used to add them to the infoboxes. (Noticed you changed your ID, by the way. Makes sense to keep the surname "dark" on the Internet.) Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 08:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Manufacturers

Hi, I'm inclined to reject your assertion. Neither is registry a bounded relationship for e.g. for a starfighter. And if you look into my change before revert, you would see the string "Manufacturer(s)". -- Ylai 08:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your reply: No, it is not necessarily unimportant. The fictional setting can lend the importance regarding the manufacturer in term of the narrative context, which I in fact would argue in the case of SAaB. -- Ylai 09:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NPA

Your patronising comment is clearly ad hominem and hence counts as a personal attack. Note that the list of examples on WP:NPA (I persume this is what you're referrring to?) is not exhuastive. Please direct your comments towards the substance and not the contributor in future- and you might also have a look at WP:TALK for your reference. All the best, Badgerpatrol 10:58, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may wish to get a better dictionary (although Urban Dictionary is always fun- I particularly liked def. #3 "When something bad happens to someone and you honestley dont give a piss"- surely the height of erudition??). This definition was given by the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (not a patch on urban dic in terms of reliability, of course....)

" exclamation UK HUMOROUS something you say to show that you feel no sympathy for someone who is behaving like a child: He called you a bad name, did he? Ah, diddums!".

I would say that ridiculing someone who has a fair point per WP:TALK and implying that are "behaving like a child" counts as a personal attack- wouldn't you? Please don't do it again. Badgerpatrol 11:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have reverted your edit as it didn't work properly on 800x600 - it still appears with Kate and Walt on seperate lines. Number 57 09:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried it on two different 800x600 monitors (different makes etc), and your version does not fit properly - the top line of "main characters" does not fit, and leaves kate on a seperate line. The same also happens to the second line of main characters. Number 57 10:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Perhaps you are using small/smallest text size in your internet browswer when viewing on 800x600? This is the only reason I can think of that allows you too see the whole template without line breaks? Number 57 10:10, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I should have said that I tested it on two different computers (which have two different monitors). I can't imagine how you can see it fine on an 800x600 unless your text size setting is smaller or smallest. As you can see on the screenshot (which also proves the resolution is 800x600), it doesn't fit.
File:LostNavTemplateScreenShot.jpg
800x600 resolution - note the broken lines
Also, I haven't broken the 3RR as my first edit was not a revert but a new attempt to fix the problem. Number 57 10:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Any suggestions on how it can be done? Perhaps setting the text size in the template to 95%? Also, I don't understand why Libby is classed as a main character whilst Rose is not... Number 57 10:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly not - the 4400 template also produces broken lines (which I have now fixed). I don't think it is a good idea to make such a major change as there are quite a few other people editing the Lost template and I don't think it would go down very well! Number 57 11:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your new version still breaks the top line of main characters - Jordan Collier appears on the second line on his own. I am intrigued - what combination of screen/text size do you use? The edit I made fitted on 800x600 and 1024x768! Number 57 11:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm afraid it has made it worse - now the Production, Main Characters, Elements and Miscellaneous lines are all broken. The template needs to be the maximum width allowed in Wikipedia at 800x600 to fit it all in. Number 57 11:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the 4400 one is fine now :) Progress! Number 57 11:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think the best effort so far was this one, which could be broken after Kate as long as the left hand column can be fixed to remain the same width (putting in < br > as it is means the left hand column widens and ruins it!) Number 57 11:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What do you think about the current version? Number 57 11:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another slight tweak. Number 57 11:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not even 8 Hours!

Not even 8 hours left until the programme finale of Stargate SG-1! I can't wait :) , I should be positive it's ending, I mean, we still get those DVD movies later, plus 214 episodes is alot :P .. Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 12:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Fenton?

You used to be Matthew Fenton right? What happened? I see this is a whole new account. And if you don't mind me asking, what happened after your request for adminship was denied? Something about vanishing.

Vala M 05:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I understand now, shame about you recieving negative emails.

Vala M 12:28, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't bite the newbies, Matthew. A novice user who in good faith removes off-topic threads to a talk page shouldn't be doing that, but is in no way a {{blatantvandal}}. >Radiant< 09:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding removing user comments

Someone told me not to remove other people's comments from talk pages, even if I think they're off-topic, because it's not nice. Just thought you should know that, too--89.32.1.82 09:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, do I know you by chance?--89.32.1.82 11:01, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's me. You know, an ip adress is not the same thing as a person.

Have a nice day, btw.--89.32.1.82 11:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ZPM Note

I restored the quote to the way it was before the anon messed with it and turned it into pure speculation. The ZPM was heavily depleted in the course of the episode and this was stated, and it was not identified if the ZPM was depleted or not in the course of the episode, at the VERY least, the note that the ZPM was drained, should remain, even if the second half of the note should be removed - Count23 11:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thor

Hey, do you know if Thor appeared in Reckoning, Part Two? Thanks-Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 17:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okay, thanks, I thought he did appear in Pt. Two as well, perhaps I'll re-watch that episode tonight (great episode).. Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 17:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

future-felgercarb warning

Why you undid it in the List of Prison Break episodes? Season 2 contains many upcoming episodes with reviews from the Futon Critic. Moreover, the list of Lost episodes has the same warning. -- Magioladitis 13:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why not? The summary changes vert often until we watch the episodes and for one more reason: many people add unconfirmed info and this is a goos warning before we remove it. --Magioladitis 13:38, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chech this: Category for lists of upcoming episodes of a television series that are planned to be filmed/aired in the near future, and have been officially announced by either the production company or the television station.. So it is exactly our case. -- Magioladitis 13:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For me it's clear that if such a warning should be both in Lost and Prison Break or in none. This warning have been made exactly for listing all the upcoming episodes. I'll put the warning exactly before the upcoming episodes just for you to show. Please tell me your opinion. Friendly, Magioladitis 14:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you in general believe that this tag is uneccessary or only for the specific shows? I think it's a way to know which show are running this season. I see that are many shows tagged with this "warning" -- Magioladitis 14:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer. Of course, i still haven't convinced 100% what it's the best to do but at least now what the things you describe make more sense to me :) -- Magioladitis 14:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FYI re: Stargate "Unending"

Matthew: Just so you know, I've restored the note about Michael Shanks' voice to Unending. While we're generally trying to avoid trivia, that particular note is an opportunity to illustrate some of the ways the show's creators add "in-jokes" to the program. The text is worded in a way that doesn't speculate as to the intent, but instead allows the reader to come to his or her own conclusions. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 17:56, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yuser

Thanks for the head's up and it's taken care of:-) Jeffpw 22:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, can you change the image of Baltar reading the note to an image of Lampkin. A few people are requesting it be changed or an image of him added to the article. He technically was the main focus of that episode. Cyberia23 05:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't think the YouTube link was allowed; that's why I removed it the first time. The IP re-added it not too long after I had got rid of it. I'm glad you removed it this time. Acalamari 20:24, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grey's Anatomy

I see. my bad. But should Grey's Anatomy episodes (Season 3) article be changed to reflect this? It's kinda weird that canada airs before US, this being a US prog. Well, if you are sure, than okay, because I dont live in the states, nor canada. =)

Kays! =) GavinTing 15:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Primeval. Present or past?

When I edited Primeval and changed the original run 'last_aired' to today (March 17, 2007), you changed it back with the reason "Still present, series two has been ordered". I disagree. While series two has been ordered, and this is to be noted, the last_aired needs to be changed. However this is my own personall opinion. If it was noted that a second series is coming in 2008, Wouldn't it be better if it was changed? Scottie Too Hottie7 21:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about The Friendly Skies

Just wondering... what made you decide that this article satisfies WP:N? I still can't see any references that show that ""A topic is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject."

And.... you also deleted the {{unreferenced}} tag, without adding references to the article. Why? --Alvestrand 22:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the episode is the source, is it possible to give a citation for that? Either who published it on DVD, or network-and-date-of-transmission? I don't feel good about having nothing that looks like a citation - if I were to invent an episode of a TV show you had never heard of, and inserted it as a Wikipedia article, how would you go about verifying it? --Alvestrand 03:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tense

Firstly, I apologise for reverting 4 times. I hadnt realised I'd got to 4. I certainly don't want to get into an edit was about this. I will change Crossroads, Eldorado etc back, but after that I will leave it. I do feel a bit victimised the way you took the ones I listed as examples and then changed them to suit you. These had been happily at past tense for a while and it is totally unnecessary to change them. --Berks105 17:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you ever listen to anyone? A neutral editor has come in and suggested you cool it. Instead you ignore them and carry on regardless. That is no way to behave on Wikipedia. --Berks105 17:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please be civil to other users/admins. There is no reason to resort to such incivility. Please try to stay calm and keep a cool head. Skult of Caro (talk) 18:50, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Matthew, I'd like to apologise if at any point I seemed agressive or rude over at The Vicar of Dibley. It certainly wasn't my intention (I'm more interested in not letting this spiral out of control), and I didn't mean to insinuate anything regarding your membership of WP:IS NOT WAS. Happy editing! Farosdaughter 18:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually its not because as I was going through the page I got a good chunk of the story spoiled. But w/e I'm not going to get into an arugement or edit war over this.--88wolfmaster 21:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Will you please ban this guy from Wikipedia?

Will you please ban this user[1] from Wikipedia? He keeps editing the airdate of the Grey's Anatomy episode My Favorite Mistake!! Now, I know for a fact that the correct airdate of that episode is March 29, 2007. However, the user I am referring to keeps editing the airdate to March 22, 2007, William Shatner's birthday!! So please ban that user from Wikipedia forever so that I don't have anymore problems, OK? Thank you very much. AdamDeanHall 20:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it appears that he is right, not you. [2] And besides nobody will ever ban anybody for disagreeing with you, it's a content dispute. — MichaelLinnear 01:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

How dare you revert my edits. Cant u see i was trying to help. :(

Daedalus class

You want proof that the ship has missiles? Hello, we have seen it fire missiles multiple times. We have seen that they are visibly set up in a VLS setup as they launch from flush points in the hull rather then from missile launchers. This is common knowledge as of the very start of season 2 for SGA. Alyeska 07:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Category:Television program cancellations by year before removing these categories

Please do not remove subcategories of Category:Television program cancellations by year from articles. This scheme is used for all programs regardless of the reason for the series end. Per the category description:

This is a set of subcategories of television programs by the year of cancellation, based on the broadcast date of the final original episode. These programs are listed regardless of whether the cancellation decisions were made by the broadcasters or the producers.

In other words it is not just for network cancellations, but for any series which has ended its original run. Dugwiki 15:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing, if you feel the category scheme's name is misleading, and would prefer something like "Category:Television program series ends by year", I'd recommend making that suggestion at WP:CFD. Dugwiki 15:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew replies -

It matters not if the category's creator set that as its goal, obviously that goal is disputed - and - has no consensus backing it, to conclude: do not reinsert without a consensus and a verifiable source it was cancelled, barring that you'll more then likely be reverted, again. Matthew 15:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The goal is not disputed. It is clearly part of the overall scheme of including years of establishment/disestablishment of entities and works as category tags. If you feel the scheme doesn't have consensus, please feel free to direct me to a link indicating the dispute. Also, if you feel the category scheme should be altered, please feel free to bring it up at WP:CFD.

But barring that, you have to go by the clear instructions in the category for categorization. Dugwiki 15:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Just to follow-up, I went ahead and did a full rename nomination for this category scheme to make it "Television program series endings by year". That should remove any ambiguity in the title. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 March 22#Category:Television program cancellations by year for the cfd thread. So far the responses agree with the proposed rename, so hopefully once that rename is completed the issue will be resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Dugwiki 17:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spamming?

Sorry. I was adding what I thought were relevant external links to articles featuring relevant, original content.

Stargate Universe

Aargh... you out-typed me on the SU page. (Thanks, BTW.) I've made a few more tweaks, since you caught most of what I was changing anyways. Bad title, eh? --Ckatzchatspy 09:40, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No need to revert... the italics code doesn't do anything in the O4 template, and the older text implies that there are other series that weren't produced by MGM. (Reword as you like, but please avoid the old MGM text as part of the first sentence.) --Ckatzchatspy 09:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And yes, something new would be nice - especially a new storyline! I think they've kind of lost their way over the past few years - the show needs to get back to what it's really good at, which is the "small" stories as in the earlier seasons. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 09:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

4400 episode

You mean to tell me that the following is unmergeable information in the 4400 infobox ?

  1. producer: Not used at all
  2. imdb link: already in question on the main box, so why would we put it in infoboxes for episodes
  3. 4400: used 9 times and in all occasions also mentioned in the first sentence of the article

And I don't get the variable width part of your comment. As far as I can see both boxes use fixed em width's. --TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 21:29, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tense

I know "both of" (they are actually one and the same...) these guidelines. Which doesn't preclude my disagreeing. Especially seeing as your correction introduced a typo and a bigger inconsistency: if you intend to fix the tense, at least do it across the board. Slapping cleanup templates on a FAC when you are in the process of discussing with the main contributor is not very constructive either, which I why I swept it off. Circeus 14:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But it is your duty to make sure your edits don't make the article worse. And knowingly making tense inconsistent inside a sentence does just that. Circeus 15:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

so edit the page to say there are only 5 on the DVD box itself

an interview with the creator saying there are 6 is fine but it plays like 5 which I guess was the point when they made it

so why not edit the page to explain why there are 6 but only 5 episode names

RE: BSG

So you liked the ending? I dunno if I cared much for it. I was surprised when some anon user added all the unsourced spoilers to Crossroads Part II a few days ago and I deleted them as nonsense - I thought waht he said was going to happen was rediculous but then, HE WAS RIGHT! Damn... All I say is that Season Four has some serious explaining to do. Tigh was one of the last people I'd think was a Cylon. But I dunno, All Along the Watchtower was kinda weird... and Starbuck's sudden return was kinda cheesy IMO. We'll we have a who frakkin year to wait to see what happens. I'm probably going to refine the plot for the episode later how it's written now sucks - I'll do it once all the hype dies down. I can't believe how many people scrambled to get the last word in last night after the show. I just sat back and watched the chaos unfold. Cyberia23 19:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think you may be right - perhaps they are high beings of some sort, but what I found strange is during the opera house dream there were six white tapestries. I thought when D'anna saw the Final Five there were five tapestries - one for each white robed figure. Why were there six? COuld we have a 13th Cylon. I think the 12th is Roslin (she's sharing dreams with Six and Eight) or maybe Starbuck, but I'm thinking we'll find out there is a 13th as well, perhaps maybe Baltar after all. Baltar's hair and beard makes him looks like Jesus Christ, he now has worshipers who believe in him and follow him, he's gotta be something else that he doesn't realize yet. Maybe he's the anti-christ or something, but he's not human. Cyberia23 19:55, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah the BSG movie is supposed to air this fall on Sci Fi. I heard a rumor that it may deal with what happened to Starbuck from when she disappears to when she returns. Cyberia23 20:03, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I removed Starbuck because the image wasn't showing up for me, I thought someone in the history deleted the image link but left the thumbnail frame so I axed it. If you can fix it then put it back I guess. Cyberia23 00:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I use Mozilla Firefox. I only keep IE because, well Windoze throws a fit if you try an delete it, and I need it for updates from Microcrap as they'll only install with Active X and IE, which doesn't work with Mozilla. Starbuck shows up now. For some reason the tag started with two "{" instead of "[[" which was probably why it wasn't showing up. I updated the article, yeah it's long as shit now, but Starbuck is there. Saying she comes back isn't a spoiler IMO, but too many people are saying that she's definitely a Cylon and nothing in the show says that. Not even RDM. All he says was Starbuck was coming back in the end. I'm not fully buying that Anders, Tory, Tigh and Tyrol are Cylons - they're probably from Earth since Tyrol says it was music from "my childhood", and that like your assumption of Baltar, maybe they're some kind of higher beings who've forgotten their past and are just now awakening memories of who they really are.

Left-aligning image in David Tennant

I have to say that I disagree with your edit summary reasoning. You said that having images on the left is "silly", this is something I have never heard or seen in practice in any other article, is there some strange policy? And I believe I had clear reason, three images in close sucession on the same side looks "silly" in my opinion. I'm not reverting it yet, I'm just curious as to why you think it was wrong.

Trivia template

Hello Matthew,
You wrote on my user page that notices and comments such as the trivia-notice are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page. I don't see how. Can you explain that to me?

The Steven Soderbergh probably contains too much trivia. Nobody is arguing with that. So, now consensus has already been reached about the fact that the article contains too much trivia, why do we still need the template?

More important, why do we have to tell that to the general reader? If you look at the Steven Soderbergh article, hardly anything on that page is presented more prominently than the fact that that article contains a trivia section. Is that not something that would be more appropriate to discuss on the article's talk page? Johan Lont 12:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOE

Sorry about that, didn't see the replies. However, I'm in agreement with ed_g2s in the discussions you mentioned (and as you can see on my talk page, I consulted him about it first). I know it doesn't seem fashionable to say it but I think that the pictures add nothing and so by FUC shouldn't be there. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 23:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Woah tiger - I'm not being hot headed (although thats the first thing someone who is being hot headed says), I apologised for the slightly hasty removal and then expressed my opinion. There is no edit war (unless someone else is warring now without my knowing), I didn't revert your revert or anything of the sort - I replied on the talk page. Also, out of curiosity - where does it say that consensus overrides policy? (no sarcasm there - that was the least sarcastic wording I could find of that question.) ...adam... (talkcontributions) 23:22, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thats cool. I'm still pretty new at this thing. I understand what you say about consensus - however, I think I lie in that minority. I don't actually like the policy and think that the images should stay, but I'm a big believer in free content and following the policy. I have absolutely no intention of fighting this issue though - this seems such a massive issue that there's bound to be a policy change sooner or later that will make this gray area black or gray. Thanks for the clarification though, I will save the whole of those conversations for some bedtime reading and digest them properly. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 23:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sopranos Internet Leak

Thanks for the advice pal, I read what it said...

"If you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry). Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors."

So I have linked to a mainstream news article found on google news that indicates that this is indeed a fact that it has been leaked. So now Wikipedia is not linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work. I assume we don't have a problem now.--Barockoiiu 02:38, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

I've reverted the addition of the "obnoxious" template to multiple articles; clearly it has no consensus for the insertion within articles, secondly it is now standardized, thirdly it has no direct purpose nor is it actually compliant/backed by any policy (you'll have to do better then appending "per WP:NOT", etc). I'd advise you to get consensus to insert that template within articles, it is disputed. Matthew 17:27, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry no - you aren't a vigilante of Wikipedia - you say all of those things yet the discussion is still going on.

However, I will say that I am unsure of which edit yo urefer to when you say "Your edit to pages insertting that templates".

Please provide more of a reasoning. WikiProject Television considers TV.com a reliable source for television information like production codes.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where is the unreliability of TV.com? You're using IMDb.com on all those individual episode pages. I see TV.com on the Pilot's page and the other pages.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, your other supporter Peregrine agreed on the new format. This new format also got the list featured status. Since an admin didn't find that TV.com meets WP:RS, there is no reason to remove them.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize about assuming Tom was an admin. I thought only admins could do the "approved" stage. I wasn't aware that they had it set up like GAC. As for the "you're", I was meaning the universal "you", but, you specifically haven't gone to those pages for clean up. That isn't your job, I know that, but creating almost 100 more isn't going to solve the problem with the other pages. As for the Prod Codes, I'll search for a better source, and if I cannot find one then I will remove that column of information.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've ignored it. But I do see where I misinterpreted what you were saying, or I think I see. You were calling the seasonal pages "disgusting" (if true, then I agree). If you couldn't find any prod code with RS, then I'll go ahead and remove them. As for the images. Since I removed the plots, for article size purposes, I figured I should remove the images. Also, almost all of the images have Kryptonsite on them. I plan (I still have another 3 weeks of spring semester) to go through my DVDs and screen capture the same images again, so that they don't have kryptonsite on them. Also, it's much easier to prove fair use for 22 images in one article, than it is for 127 images. The season pages need better formatting. There are 127 episodes, as of right now, and even you have to admit that you won't be able to provide enough substance, reliably, for every one. I'm thinking that those seasonal companion books that Craig Burn, and Paul Simpson, created will probably have production information in them. I don't know for sure because I've never actually come across one personally.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:03, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there,

I added a link to the computer game Provocator which you removed because I used the word 'Clearly' ( "Clearly inspired by Battlestar Galactica") and deemed it 'fanpinion' !

Please take the time to look at the Provocator page. Once you've read about the game and seen the screen shots, I defy you to claim it isn't "Clearly" relevant to the list of BattleStar Games!

If the list must be of official BSG games only, then I'll add a 'Games inspired by BattleStar' although I feel this is unnecessary.

Whatta ya say?

Respectfully, yet somewhat miffed,

SuperHewit

AfD nomination of FTL (Battlestar Galactica)

I've nominated FTL (Battlestar Galactica), an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that FTL (Battlestar Galactica) satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FTL (Battlestar Galactica) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of FTL (Battlestar Galactica) during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Sandstein 22:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Medium LOE

I've reverted this edit, the NBC, IMDb and TV.com links are to be grouped as external links, they're not sources (in the case of IMDb and TV.com they are not valid sources as they are not verifiable), the NBC link is a valid source but the actual link contains no source information used. Also fan-sites are not valid sources or in most cases valid links, and Wikipedia is not a links database so fan sites do not belong here. Matthew 09:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You should discuss your issue on the talk page before making an edit, with vaild reasons--Migospia 09:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually vice-versa, the link was added without any discussion (and thus no consensus for it) and it has been disputed and should not be added without any discussion. Please see: WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided. This edit (which you made) inserted the IMDb link, TV.com, the NBC and "Medium Dreams". Wikipedia's Manual of Style indicates how external links/references are to be formatted/sectionised. Matthew 10:37, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are mistaken I was stating a source/reference, I have seen this in literally many articles here on Wikipedia, so saying that a reference site not be added is ridiculous, it was not an external fan page. I also think external links on a TV list episodes page is inapporate.--Migospia 11:39, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

and as I have stated, they're not valid sources as per Wikipedia's gudielines/policies. All articles should be sourced, but only to reliable sources - fan sites and user submitted websites are not reliable, they have little editorial oversight. Matthew 11:41, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As I said it is a valid source it talks about Medium episodes which have proven to be valid, I have seen websites here used as sources that should not, what is your problem with this site to be used as a reference although the reference is vaild and more importantly it is imporant to the article it is being used.--Migospia 15:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if it has published/copied information which is reliable, it is still a fan-site at the end of the day and hence unreliable unless it has some editorial oversight and a long history of providing verifiable history. Please read Wikipedia:Verifiability#Sources; which I'd already linked to. Addendum: I have no further interest in communicating with you until you have read Wikipedia's core policies and guidelines.

You have to stop what you are doing can we get a third party, because like I have said it is not being used as a fan site or external site but a reference site because that is exactly what it is and references are good to state and list, I have seen it in almost every episode TV list on wiki so how could it not fit into the guidelines, what is your problem against it?--Migospia 14:01, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see this thread I have posted in regards to your queries. Delete the info and links if the information is proved incorrect when the episodes air.

If you don't like the site - don't post the exclusive info. Thank you, VisitEureka.net 19:04, 23 April 2007 (BST).

check the history again.

I only removed the tag after i deleted the trivia. Someone keeps putting the trivia back in, over and over. I actually agree with you that the article should not contain trivia. However, i'm going one step further and saying that trivia is not suitable for wikipedia because it either fails notability or it's an unverified claim (like the Watchman thing). dposse 15:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lost Catch-22

Hi, I dont want to start an argument here but from the catch-22 discussion page it seems that people dont want such 'Dramatic' images that may 'Spoil' the program, the image may be more appropriate futher down in the article after the Spoiler Warnings. Cheers R0ck1t 19:52, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Mistake Here

Sorry i just read an article on Triva Sections, but i still think there should be a section in Lost episode articles that has shot bulleted list of relavent facts (As in previous episodes). And i understand about the image but as clearly stated in the article disscusion it is clear that people do not want that image up, i see no problem with my image contribution and i uploaded after yours had been removed by another member. For these reasons i feel that this image is unnapropriate at the top of the article and would ask if you do are not satisfied with the alternative i supplied that you should upload one that you may see more suitable. I would be grateful if you consider my request and review the Catch-22 discussion page. Cheers, R0ck1t 20:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I understand that YOUR opinion may be that that moment was significant but if i quote you here "please discuss these issues on the page's talk page before removing the notice from the page. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of a page." The 'community census' is obviously that people do not find the Charlie Dead image appropriate, for this reason i would be grateful if you replace the previous image or use the Lost title screen and make a suggestion for a better image, i should then be able to upload it, On a further not i spotted you added the Trivia tag to 'The Brig' as the Trivia article states Trivia sections may be used in establishing a new article and are therfore appropriate for upcoming episodes, otherwise i now agree with you on aired episodes however. Thanks once again, R0ck1t 20:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just read your comment unfortunatley there is no appropriate moment when you can see both of them together, this was infact my first choice. Sorrey that is of course excluding the photo found in the jungle but this seems to unrelavent to me.R0ck1t 20:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is a good shot of desmond tackling charlie that seems 'dramatic' enough to me i'll upload it now and add a link to the discussion page, if you like it or people give a positive respose feel free to add it in or tell me to.

Predictable

Having had problems with you before, under a previous now retired user name, it is sad but predictable that once again you have used your bullying, arrogant tactics. After I change the tense on Astronauts, amongest other edits, you then go through my very small edit history and change every page I have edited. There is no clear evidence you are right, but there is no point in trying to argue as you just bully people. You assume the is/was refers to whether the programme exists; thats wrong, its refers to whether its airs. Most ordinary people (ie outside Wikipedia) would refer to a former programme as "was", but as a grammar Nazi you insist on your way being right. Wikipedia would be far better without you. Once again I will retire from Wikipedia, I had hoped to come back, but your attitude reminds me why I left. You should not follow people, its harrasment to look at every page someone has edit to change one thing. --BritTV 18:57, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have doubts you have looked for any evidence, and they wouldn't be any. The point is in general conversation most people would refer to a finished programme in past tense. To say "is" sounds stupid, and I think the amount of users and IP addresses that change many pages (only to be reverted by you) reflects this. But I will let you win, as I really can't be bothered to fight. The fact that you saw it as necessary to put [sic] shows how pathetic you are. Why was it necessary. Our conversation was about edit changes, not my grammar! --BritTV 19:05, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I do consider my edits constructive, I consider yours to be the opposite. You, and many others I admit, make Wikipedia look pathetic. Previously I worked happily and unopposed on many, many articles, until you came along. And regarding Arthur's Treasured Volumes, only a few minutes remains, yet you consider this enough do you! Your arrogance and general attitude amaze me, and as a final comment I only hope one day that you actual realise you are not good for Wikipedia and retire yourself. Then everyone would be better off. --BritTV 19:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

please be careful with AfD notices

Hello Matthew, I noticed your notices about the ANI discussion on fancruft and the AfD on Kept Man, and I wanted to point out that posting such notices on unrelated talk pages may be a violation of WP:CANVASS. I understand why you would be concerned about the fate of TV episode pages, and I tend to agree that they should be allowed to remain on Wikipedia, but I don't feel that cross-posting on other TV show talk pages about Kept Man is quite proper. I feel though Ned Scott should have left a note to this effect on your talk page rather than place charges of vote-stacking on each TV episode talk page. --Kyoko 21:02, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Encyclopaedia

The standard spelling on Wikipedia is "encyclopedia", so it should be used in templates, I think. However, if you can point out why it was spelled "encyclopaedia" (in a cleanup template), and why it is spelled "encyclopedia" in all other templates, I will accept. --NetRolller 3D 10:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's widely accepted to spell that word as "encyclopedia" here (on Wikipedia, remember, not Wikipaedia, and every other template spells it that way, so there is a general consensus on "encyclopedia"), so it serves no purpose to stand out. Also, a little bug of the template: the first line isn't bold. --NetRolller 3D 10:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Space:1999 Laser Tank

I'd prefer to keep the infobox in, for it myself, I was going to put an image in. Can't we have the infobox in as a catchall for spacecraft and sci-fi vehicles? I think I might just revert it for the time being till we come to a consensus.Douglasnicol 01:02, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the infobox says 'Spacecraft' in the edit template, but it's perfectly sufficient for this purpose, and is more efficient than using a seperate infobox that will basically just duplicate most of what is in the spacecraft one. If you look at most instances of the use of the spacecraft one there are many entries in it that are not fully utilised. Douglasnicol 13:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For petes sake, now you've removed the bulk of the entry. I was considering trying to make an infobox but you seem to be downright impossible to work with. Douglasnicol 13:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Any objections to me then modifying the spacecraft one, taking out what isn't relevant and maybe adding in somethings that are? Douglasnicol 13:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've not submitted it yet, "Propulsion" doesn't sound quite right for a land vehicle, yet in the realms of scifi we have all sorts of power apart from internal combustion including nuclear, gas turbine etc, but propulsion still doesn't sound right. Douglasnicol 13:38, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't seem quite right either, maybe propulsion and power can be merged into one category in land vehicles, covering the style of engine, after all on a spacecraft like the Enterprise the propulsion would be warp engines and the power would be the matter/anti matter mix, there's not as much need for that on a land vehicle entry. However, I will add a chassis entry which shows whether a vehicle is wheeled, tracked, hover, even legged. Douglasnicol 13:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added it here

Though I can't use it yet for some reason. Douglasnicol 13:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the template. At the same time I've also deleted the old one from the Space:1999 Moonbuggy article and substituted the new one. I will be putting images of these craft in soon (handy when you have the two seasons on DVD), especially on the Laser Tank entry as they are three distinct designs. I've also moved both the Buggy and tank from the category of Space:1999 spacecraft and started a new category. Oops, meant to sign my comment.... Douglasnicol 15:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dammit, the max speed entry is missing, whenever I add it, there's always some odd character showing up at the top of the page. Any ideas? Douglasnicol 15:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No matter...sorted. :) Douglasnicol 15:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, what's wrong here...I put in a screen grab, the image is Moonbuggy.jpg, using the standard image insertion doesn't work. How come? Douglasnicol 16:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, with the use of PowerDVD, I've completed the set up of this page, what do you think. I hope to get more information on it as well to pad it out a bit. Douglasnicol 20:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would advise you not persist in restoring copyright violations. Please see the administrators' noticeboard, where strong support was evident for administrative action to prevent restoration of such. The Wikimedia Foundation has also spoken to this issue. Seraphimblade Talk to me 11:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment is true but irrelevant. We're not talking about a few dissenters gathering in an out-of-the-way place, we're talking about dozens of people gathering on a high-traffic and high-profile noticeboard. I would prefer to resolve this amicably, but please do be aware that I will take any steps necessary to prevent copyright violations from being added. In the case of fair-use images, we are far exceeding minimal use by use of images simply for "labelling" episodes. That's clear decorative use. Seraphimblade Talk to me 11:58, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting theory. Might you be able to tell me how IAR permits you to ban someone from editing a page? As to copyright law, couple things there. First, I imagine you'll find I know it pretty well, I'm often asked for assistance in selection and drafting of software licenses, and have done so on more than one occasion. Secondly, Wikimedia's fair-use restrictions are deliberately far more restrictive than copyright law, but even under fair use, comment or commentary on the work in question is essential to a fair-use defense. Even the law frowns heavily on decorative fair use. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, you are aware that by your theory, IAR perfectly well allows me to ignore your "community ban"? Discussion has taken place, spurred by Ryulong's actions, but that's largely irrelevant. This is an issue the Foundation has spoken on, and when they set rules there's no ignoring them. You can ask them to change them, if you'd like me to help you contact them I'd be happy to, but until and unless you convince them so it is as it is. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The Foundation did not specifically say "You may not use fair-use images in lists of episodes". And indeed, in exceptional cases, such an image may be acceptable, or it may be appropriate to have a single picture of the series or its logo at the introduction to the list. However, fair-use images as "labels" are not by any definition a minimal use of such images. The episodes may be identified by name instead. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Of course not. It is not solely my opinion that we should use free content whenever possible and non-free content at an absolute minimum level, it is that of the Foundation (though for reference, I am behind the Foundation's opinion on that matter 100%). In this case, the fair-use images are decorative, which is a clearly prohibited use. The images themselves are not discussed in the article which uses them. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You've got the burden of proof in the wrong place. It is not incumbent upon someone who wishes to remove a fair-use image to show it violates fair-use policy, it is incumbent upon the person who wishes to include it to show unequivocally that its inclusion is legitimate by both the law and our fair-use policies. You have not yet offered a single affirmative argument as to why the use of these images are not decorative. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:29, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A vote on an out-of-the-way subpage is not an appropriate substitute for the required individual fair-use rationales, nor can it override the Foundation or our fair-use policy based upon their ruling. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have looked through some of them. They make no difference. The law, and the rules of the Foundation, supercede even a unanimous consensus on Wikipedia, even if one thousand editors here unanimously agree. Fair-use images must be kept to a minimum, period. Using them as "labels" is not keeping them to a minimum, when it's obvious that the article can exist without them (and indeed, when such versions exist in version history.) Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Something doesn't become true by repeating it often enough. I have most certainly presented a legal argument (one of the pillars of fair use in the law is comment or criticism on the copyrighted work). It is most certainly possible that a judge would consider the list to do so on the work "as a whole", but it's just as well possible that he'd consider the lack of comment on the scene or screenshot to militate against fair use. More importantly, however, I have most certainly noted how it fails the Foundation's resolution, for two reasons. Firstly, while we are permitted a narrow exemption policy under the Foundation ruling, these images fail rule 1 (they are replaceable by a free equivalent, a plain text label, or if you wish a graphical label, perhaps a free-drawn, stylized graphic of the episode or show's title you would release under GFDL), rule 3 (the use is excessive and gratuitous), rule 8 (the images are used for decoration, and are not absolutely essential), and rule 9 ("All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum." (emphasis mine)). Secondly, the resolution still and yet states that such use must be "minimal", and that we shouldn't use a fair-use image except when we absolutely have no choice. In this case, we have a choice. It may not be a choice you like, but they're pretty clear on that-if there is a free option, we take the free option, and that's the end of that story. Now, there is your reasoning, once again, and I hope that's clear enough for you to see it's there. On the other hand, I've seen no reasoning from you as to how the images do pass legal muster, the Foundation resolution, or our fair-use policy, you've simply kept repeating that they do. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
(Meant to note above) Did note your self-reverts on the articles in question though, which is much appreciated. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

not quite like that. We dont want us specific dates. This isnt the us wiki, its the english. Thats why we have that software tweak, so US, UK, AU and all other english speakers dont editwar over date formats. -Mask? 09:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: is it just me

Well i'm not surprised, i was expecting this day for the longest time. I don't agree, but i won't take it to arbcom either. I'm already involved in an ISA wheelchair issue that just landed me at Arbcom, and I'm not looking for another case. Still it's a shame. the images clearly improve the articles in my point of view, within USA rules. And I don't see why we should scare out of this without ever receiving an official complaint from a copyright owner. The EDP is flawed and too limiting towards image usage in wikipedia. Wikipedia has gotten too scared simply because it has gotten big. In affect we should use our power to stand up for what we believe in. --TheDJ (talkcontribsWikiProject Television) 23:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've personally diverted my real editing attention more towards WP:SPACE recently, and I've seen Ned getting more involved with the organization of Wikiprojects in general, like banners, council etc. It seems WP:TV is rapidly losing it's project organizers attention. Soon it's talk pages will be full of talk, and no one actually listening and caring anymore I think. And I'm starting to not care: the topic has become too much of a warzone for me to still be satisfying to organize the templates, categories, stubs and wikiproject guidelines....

Broad revert

It was unintentional. The edit was a broad revert to once again pull the images out after a WP:POINT edit of someone adding them back in against policy. The spelling fix just got caught in there.

Citing Sources

The production order #=the production code on the list of Dresden episodes. This is confirmed by the SFC press Kit. If you want to quibble about wordage then I'll change the citation to point to the Press Kits but these are offline. Online sources are better for everyone. --John T. Folden 21:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it literally states those numbers as the production code. They're Kits published for press use, but they are published. How readily available something is does not discount it as a source. Otherwise a huge number of specialized medical periodicals, magazines, out of print books, etc, could not be used as a citation. If you would prefer to label them as the Order # vs Code then I have no problems with that but there's no reason to remove them. --John T. Folden 21:36, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've already said it states them as Production Code in the SFC Press Kit. If you want to go to the trouble to track them down then you can verify them as is the case with any other limited publication. I don't believe your opinion on this matter is correct. Would you prefer them put back with the SFC Press Kit as a source or change the title to production Order, etc? Otherwise, I think we'll need to take this through the WP:Mediation_Cabal or similar.--John T. Folden 22:09, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's copyright infringement to reproduce the Press Kit and post it online, which is why i didn't do it or use it as the source to begin with. I acquired my copy off of eBay several months ago. --John T. Folden 22:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You want to verify the simple existence of the Press Kits. Well, there's two DVDs from them selling on ebay right now, a google search turns up several old auctions, people have been gleaning and posting info from them on the Jim-Butcher.com forum for months (do a search for "Press Kit" including quotes and they start popping up), etc... if you want one personally then you'd have to hunt it down like anyone else does at this late date (considering some of them are almost a year old) but this obviously isn't an item you can walk into Walmart and buy. That doesn't make it any less credible than the next limited publication, like a medical periodical, however it's not as good as online sources. Verifiability requires the info be published or made available by a reliable source, not a guarantee that the source will always be forever available to all and sundry. Which is exactly the reason why I stuck to those online sources as I was previously advised to by the WP:Mediation_Cabal. --John T. Folden 23:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re:talk page comment

Ah...but I already have stopped edit warring. I'm resorting to mediation and discussion, whereas Dev continues to revert. Do you see how silly this gets?--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 23:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although that might work out in the end, it is definitely not going to happen now.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your edit summary at all; "italics are for long works, not short -- per MoS". What do you mean "long works"? Anyway, the future episodes are italicised to differentiate them from ones that have already been aired, and is a practice I picked up off other templates. What exactly is the problem? Number 57 17:04, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

PS - For examples of the use of italics for future events, see Template:Eurovision Song Contest or Template:French elections. Number 57 17:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It might not be in the MoS, but it seems to be accepted use on almost every template I've seen with future events on them (for another one see: Template:TTCstations). Number 57 17:15, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right back atcha

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Otto4711 14:50, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Normally, I wouldn't intervene on Otto's behalf, but it is in extremely poor taste to give a templated warning to someone that you are involved in an edit war with. Obviously, you both are aware of the policy, as you are both experienced editors. What did you hope to accomplish by slapping that warning on his talk page? If there is a problem, try to work it out on the talk page first. If that fails, take it to RfC to get an opinion from someone who is not directly involved with the dispute. There is no need to conduct yourselves in this manner. Settle the dispute amicably and quit templating each other. --Cyrus Andiron 18:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even so, there is a better way than using the standard template. Those are generally reserved for people who are unaware of policy. A personal message that discused the problem and possible solutions probably would have worked better. Templating a regular editor only annoys them as shown by his response when he gave the warning right back. If you cannot settle the disupte take it to RfC rather than revert warring. Both of you are guilty of violating WP:3RR. --Cyrus Andiron 18:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle XY

Whether you like it or not, Category: Kyle XY episodes exists. Articles about the episodes, including seasonal episode summaries and lists of episodes, belong in it. So if you MUST (wrongly) categorize the articles in the Kyle XY category, then at least have the sense and courtesy to leave them in the episodes category. Not really that much to ask for.

re: xyz

My bot isn't spamming as per custom when it nominates a image for deletion it notifies the uploader. I will not change that behavior, so your options are either not upload those images or don't leave them orphans. So get over it Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 20:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My bot is not harassing you its doing its job. Just because you like to upload orphan images that is not its fault. get over it. Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 21:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Er.. I think you should just stop notifying people. People can see the bot edits in their watchlist.... --Gmaxwell 21:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed that you reverted my tagging of a non-free image that doesn't have a fair-use rationale. You appear to have used your revert button to do this--did you believe my edit to be vandalism?

In any case, please see my notification of Khaosworks, the original uploader, involving this and two other non-free images. All he has to do is supply rationales for the use of these works, which do not belong to us and are not freely licensed, in the three Wikipedia articles in which they're used.

Please don't use your revert button rollback like this again. --Tony Sidaway 15:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Matthew, Tony's right, there is no fair use rationale on that capture. I'm sure Khaosworks will be onto it shortly, but in the mean time using admin rollback on a tag which is correctly placed and addresses a problem with legal ramifications is a bit off, especially given Tony's long involvement with the project. Guy (Help!) 15:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It looked like rollback, but I'm not clear whether you're an admin, Matthew. Was it some kind of revert script? In any case an informative edit summary would have helped here.
On your reference to gmaxwell, I won't mince words. Did someone contact you and relay discussions taking place on the admin channel? If so, would you please identify that person? --Tony Sidaway 15:19, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, this account isn't an administrator, Tony. So I can't help you, sorry. Matthew 15:26, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure you understood my request. You don't have to be an administrator to be aware of who informed you about discussions on a closed IRC channel. To repeat my request: would you please identify the person who leaked those confidential discussions? --Tony Sidaway 15:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do not appreciate the fact that you summarily dismissed my edit to Template:Infobox character as "indiscriminate." I can understand opposing hair and eye colour options if the infobox is used strictly for film and TV characters, but I am looking for a generic character infobox which can be used in articles about characters in written fiction, and, since you cannot see a character in a book, information about hair and eye colour is in no way "indiscriminate." Look at Template:HP character. -Severa (!!!) 10:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you intend to imply that the hair and eye colour fields in Template:HP character are "indiscriminate?" I'd hope that a WikiProject with over 100 members could do better than to produce "indiscriminate" templates. -Severa (!!!) 10:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And since when have such tidbits as "nickname" and "call sign" been significant aspects of a character? How many characters run radio stations? How is this information not "indiscriminate?" But subjective assessments of what constitutes "indiscriminate" information are just that: subjective. -Severa (!!!) 11:03, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Matthew. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace.

This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine.

CBS upfronts

Matthew: this clearly isn't worth an edit war, given that the announcement is just a few hours away. However, it is important to realize that the "upfronts" are when the networks make their official presentations as to the upcoming season. CBS will hold theirs later today (May 16th) at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Until then, all we can report is what we're hearing from "sources" such as Variety magazine. (Look at the Futon Critic page you used as a reference. That's not an official press release from CBS. Check out this link for an example of a post-upfront release.) As I said, this isn't something to battle over - can we agree to hold off for the real announcement? --Ckatzchatspy 08:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably more choked... I liked the post-apocalyptic angle, but found the writing and acting to be somewhat lacking. Nevertheless, it was a Wednesday night staple. (Don't worry, I'm not thinking "don't say it's cancelled because maybe it will be saved." Nothing of the sort - just saying that CBS' *official* statement at the upfronts has yet to occur.)

Trivia template

Hi,

Why did you autorevert my change to the Trivia template? See the discussion page over there for why my edit is correct and why the WP:TRIVIA guideline would need to be changed for the Trivia template to be worded with a claim that trivia sections should be removed.

Tempshill 15:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is you who are edit warring - your contribution in the last few minutes has been "you will do no such thing" and a 3RR template message, rather than actually countering my (correct) argument. Why don't you do the right thing and get a consensus established over at WP:TRIVIA instead of trying to do an end round around it by just editing the template to reflect the way you personally believe Wikipedia should run.

Spoiler merge

Matthew, please take the time to actually look at what I proposed. {{spoiler}} will be gaining the ability to do the exact same thing as {{spoiler-about}}, but merged into one template instead of using two (which should have happened regardless of any spoiler discussion, simply because they were made without people considering phaserfunctions). It's a technical merge that changes nothing of the appearance of either template, and both will appear the same as they did before. -- Ned Scott 21:06, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sanctuary Intertitle Image

Hi, I noticed you changed the image used on Sanctuary (web series) from the original image I uploaded, to the lower quality intertitle. I was just curious to know what the reason was for changing it? If it's regarding copyright, you should be aware that screenshots are permitted (in fact, they encourage them). I've asked them to clarify the copyright licence. Assuming they respond affirmatively, would you have any objection if I changed it back to the higher quality image? (I also asked this question on the Sanctuary talk page, but you didn't respond so I'm asking you here). Lachlan Hunt 15:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote:

The image you uploaded was from the end (and not from the beginning intertitle), standard practice on Wikipedia is to use the title screen from the introduction titles. For example see Stargate SG-1 or Stargate Atlantis. "If it's regarding copyright, you should be aware that screenshots are permitted", Wikipedia's policies and guidelines prohibit high-resolution/high-quality non-free imagery (see WP:NFCC), so we must use web resolution images. "I've asked them to clarify the copyright license", unfortunately we can't use high-quality "with permission" images, this is because Wikipedia can be forked (and so people who fork Wikipedia will not have permission). Hope this clears it up. have a good afternoon, Matthew 15:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, they're the articles I looked at to see what sizes were ok. The SG-1 image is 852×480, the Atlantis image is 640×360. The image I uploaded was somewhere between those, at 720×405, which was reduced from the original 1920×1080.
When I said clarify the copyright licence, I didn't mean specifically for wikipedia. I meant in general, and I'm hoping they provide a licence that is compatible with the GFDL.
Regarding it being from the end, I assume you mean because it contains the URI as well. Fair enough. If that's the case, then I guess the image I uploaded can be deleted if it's not going to be used. (You can respond on this page, I've added to my watchlist). Lachlan Hunt 17:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yea, the Stargate ones are a bit big at present (I'll resize them sometime - if I remember, hehe) - that was just an example of the opening portion usage. If they'll release an image under a GFDL compatible license... well that would be marvelous, I certainly wouldn't complain! Matthew 17:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My signature complies with the guidelines set out at WP:SIG.

Juice Plus

Matthew, please stop blanking the adverse effects section of the Juice Plus article. The section is under active discussion on the talk page. If you have any comments regarding the content, include them on the talk page but do not delete the content without an explanation; blanking is considered vandalism. Also, I suggest you read the “do not” section of WPs help guide on reverting [5]. Rhode Island Red 14:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew, I have outlined in detail that no concensus has been reached for removal of the section in question. In fact the concensus reached was that the material should stand.[6] Please do not delete this content again unless you can provide sufficient justification on the talk page. Blanking of this kind is considered vandalism. Rhode Island Red 14:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Matthew, please stop deleting the content on the Juice Plus page. If you have comments to add to the discussion then do so, but simply deleting content without commenting is inappropriate. Rhode Island Red 13:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you re-read WP:CON and consider whether the disucssion on the Juice Plus page has followed appropriate procedure for concensus building. IMO, it has not, so it cannot be claimed that a consensus exists for removal. Hope you understand my position. Rhode Island Red 14:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Matthew, the previous consensus was to keep this information. Please review the history outlined in my last reply to Elonka on the talk page (included below). No new consensus has been established to delete it. The onus is on those who are pushing for deletion to state their case on the talk page rather than falsely claiming that a consensus exists for deletion. If you have comments to add to the discussion, then do so, but as I have stated repeatedly, do not merely delete the text without elaborating the reasons. Thank you in advance.
  • You have repeatedly claimed that a consensus exists to delete the content,[7][8][9][10] and as I have repeatedly pointed out, it is plainly obvious that no such consensus was ever reached. In actuality, you are the only editor who has suggested removing the entire section, you have not provided sufficient justification to defend your assertion, you have repeatedly ignored my comments on the talk page without replying,[11][12][13] you have ignored requests from me and one other editor to not delete the content and to solicit additional input from other editors, [14][15] you have failed to acknowledge the prior discussions on this topic in which it was agreed that the content should stay,[16] and you have ignored the fact that editors other than myself have contributed to the content in this section since it was restored.[17]
  • You first did a re-write of the article on Feb 17,[18] at which time I found it curious that you had arbitrarily omitted the section on adverse effects. I pointed out the omission immediately on the same day, [19] assuming it was a mere oversight, and you acknowledged it without voicing any objection to its re-inclusion.[20] The adverse effects section was restored on Feb 24 [21] and you failed to comment on it for the next several months until May 12.[22] At that time, you suggested deleting the entire section and then you unilaterally deleted it on May 17,[23] claiming that a consensus supported your decision, when in fact no editor other than you had said that the section should be deleted. It is now becoming increasingly difficult to assume good faith underlying your removal of this content. Please stop deleting it and stop falsely claiming that your deletion is supported by a consensus. If you persist, this issue will be brought to the attention of WP administration for remedial action.

However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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.

Oberth

Matthew, just to pop in here, I have star trek articles on my watchlist so I saw your Oberth removal there as OR. The class being named after Hermann Oberth can be sourced to The Star Trek Encyclopedia, written by Mike Okuda and his wife, who design and flesh out the props, art and models used on the show, and can be considered a reliable source for this information. I have the book here with me if you want to thouroughly tag it as a ref, I can give you the isbn number and what not if you need it. Given our disagreements before I figured I'd bring it to you here instead of some impersonal revert :) -Mask? 00:37, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's funny that you're getting so much flak for obtaining logs of a supposedly unofficial and unaffiliated channel. — MichaelLinnear 02:32, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to disappoint you...

But I'm not back. That was pretty much the final straw to ever coming back, too. When I happened to get an email about that mess and read it, well...

Hi, what's your reason for opposing the redirection of this template to Template:Memory Alpha ? --Tony Sidaway 19:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask why you're mass reverting User:TTN?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you tell me now?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't look like an AfD situation. Looks like RfC material.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So because you are extremely biased (as shown by the Kept Man AfD), you have reverted a ton of episodes that fail WP:EPISODE outright? You shouldn't be the one to do this; if you found a point problem with it, you should have brought it up somewhere else before reverting. You may like episode articles, but they fail a fundamental principal (this site isn't a plot summary). If anyone is making a point, it would be you. TTN 11:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am biased, but I am in the right - I am enforcing a guideline. No information backed by secondary sources means no article. That is it. You can push the "they can be improved point", but that can happen after. You have reverted on the principal that "others disagree with me." Of course they do; that's a given. No matter what, someone is always going to end up grumpy in the end. That is no reason to undo the work because you like them. And have you even looked at what you have reverted? I have received no opposition for those, and, you know, discussion isn't required. I have left messages on some episode list talk pages (two of the ones you reverted), but most would never actually receive them. That is as good of a discussion as you're going to get. TTN 11:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How do they pass WP:EPISODE then? You failed to answer that in the AfD, and you'll fail here. And you know, these would fall under WP:BRD if anyone really did disagree with them, so you really don't have an actual point in your reversions. You're obviously pushing for a cause (Episode articles for everyone! Get them while they're hot, cheap, and pointless!), so it wouldn't really count with you. What reason do I have not to revert you on that knowledge? TTN 11:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The actual episode is a primary source. They have no secondary sources, so your point really makes no sense. According to that, they shouldn't even exist in the first place. I'm going by "Dealing with problem articles", where both answers are no. TTN 11:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, you said that they have enough from secondary sources, but the only source on each of those episodes is the primary source. Obviously, you're getting confused or you're seeing secondary sources that I'm not seeing. Would you please point some out? TTN 12:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, the "sources may exist" argument! It's been a real long time since I've seen that. You missed the part of your quote where it says "verifiable" information, not conjectural information. Each series needs to prove its own worth on a case by case basis. You cannot seriously claim that all of them have information en masse. TTN 12:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
For example, That 70's show may have information, but someone needs to provide it. One Piece, on the other hand, is a cartoon that will run well past one thousand episodes at the rate it's going. It will likely never have any sort of information for each episode. You cannot just claim that both have sources out there, and be all set. TTN 12:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You know what, let's stop this and ask for an outside opinion. Does that work? TTN 12:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Though please be kind enough to address the above point instead of wikiLawyering with the "consensus must be found first" stuff. WP:BRD is a fine approach. No one has disagreed with me on that series yet (you don't count). TTN 12:42, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But your reason for the reverts is "no consensus was established." That doesn't fall under BRD; that falls under wikilawyering. You're reverting only on the that basis. It has nothing to do with disagreeing with the actual removals. Anyways, if we're going to do this, please address the above point. TTN 12:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Policy doesn't require discussing every change. To use that as the basis of your reverting is just plain old wikilawyering. The merging/redirection of articles is tedious; stopping every ten seconds, leaving a message, and waiting for each one would be annoying, so we have BRD. You cannot apply BRD with "no consensus" because that is the point of it. TTN 12:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So do you think a third opinon from WP:3O would be helpful, or is this "analysis" going to take care of everything? TTN 13:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Now would be a good time to stop. Please discuss and reach consensus before splitting out further episodes, and do not do so unless there are credible third-party sources both for the content and for its significance independent of the series itself. Guy (Help!) 20:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please hurry this up if possible. I would like to get back on track pretty soon, and I certainly can't do that with you looming around. TTN 16:57, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How large is this argument of yours? You do realize that it's probably going to be your own opinion on how either we should include everything on the site (not happening), or how we should just leave every episode article because they may have secondary sources just lying around, right? This isn't going to change the guideline one bit, so I really don't see what you expect to get out of it (except enjoyment from me being annoyed from waiting). TTN 17:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why do people on the weaker side always do that? Instead of passing me off as nothing, can you at least explain your basic argument? I'm just expecting the usual stuff like WP:NOT#PAPER abuse. TTN 17:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
WP:EPISODE disagrees with you. Verifiable secondary sources (not "Google it", actual sources) are required. This site needs more than plot summaries, and these are plot summaries. "Google it" doesn't work, so I fail to see how I have no argument. TTN 17:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to actually respond to this. TTN 19:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Categories

I have noticed that some categories have been deleted related to TV episodes, which have involved you and one or more other users. It appears that the categories have been emptied as the articles have been replaced with redirects. In some cases the articles have been reverted after the category has been deleted. I am aware of 2 of these Category:Tiny Toon Adventures episodes and Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episodes and have restored them as they are no longer empty. If you are aware of any additional categories which are in a similar situation related to this "dispute", please let me know so that I may restore them also. I want to be VERY clear that I am not taking sides in this issue, and I am not condoning any revert waring between editors. I have not looked into this enough to know who is right and who is wrong (nor do I care to, as it appears that enough other people are involved). I do however, want to ensure that any categories that have been deleted before they were empty for the 4 day holding period are restored if there are currently articles which should be in them. Regardless of how this matter is eventually settled, the categories should not be deleted until consensus is reached. No need to respond on my talk page, I'll check back here as I've added this page to my watchlist. --After Midnight 0001 01:07, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Memory Alpha templates

Linky to this alleged consensus please. Thanks in advance. Nick 18:54, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The policy also notes that consensus can change. That several editors are now working on these new templates suggests, in fact, that we've entered the process of change. Phil Sandifer 19:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm puzzled by your continued citation of Wikipedia:Consensus in defense of your revert warring. To quote from the policy, "When there are disagreements, they are resolved through polite discussion and negotiation, in an attempt to develop a consensus... Normally consensus on conflicts are reached via discussion on talk pages." You have yet to post to the talk page of any of these templates. Similarly, the flowchart on that page notably does not contain any arrows leading back to "previous consensus." With two divided TfDs, it's clear that there is some momentum for change. Revert warring is antithetical to the process by which consensus is developed. Please stop. Phil Sandifer 18:56, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
