Jericho characters

I trimmed the first two. I know nothing of the series, so you may want to make sure that I didn't screw anything up badly before I bother to continue. TTN (talk) 12:17, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

hello, i was not soapboxing, merely correcting an error in nomenclature, the jennings and rall site, though it is a property name of the jericho concept, was made exclusively for the tom tooman game. please note this. thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.73.162 (talk) 14:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Removing correct tags.

Ah, sorry about that. It appeared he had gone and tagged every Darkstalkers article himself while setting the date added tags to April instead of May to try and force deletion/merging without the proper amount of time. Thanks for catching things and fixing them. Nezu Chiza (talk) 20:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Brookside template

I figured every other British soap opera template (The ones still on TV) has this setup and found it best to follow suit. I know it seems lazy but I was going for some Uniformity as not to clutter to up the articles with family fields. Conquistdor2k6. 12 May 2008 09:53 (UTC)

adminship

Hey. I've seen your recent work and was thinking that you might be ready for another go at adminship at WP:RFA. Only thing I ask before I have no problems with nomming you is how your CSD work since your last candidacy has improved. Let me know if you think you're up for it. Wizardman 02:54, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright. I should have the template and everything up in a few days. Until then, just take the time to prepare answers to the first three questions, and familiarize yourself with the process (since you've had an RfA before this should be no problem. so long as we know you've improved on CSD stuff you're fine) Wizardman 00:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I got one more question before I feel ready to transclude. Any examples of some nice articles you've written that I can see? That seems to be a very common reason to oppose these days and I couldn't find much upon looking myself. Wizardman 03:34, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Article writing seems good. However... I think the recent involvement in the fiction realm (one of the most divisive areas right now) as well as no glaring need for the tools make me feel that this next RfA might not pass at this time, yet. So I made the nomination and everything, but I'm going to hold off on it for now. Participate in WP:AFD and C:CSD and the like some more, and I may feel more comfortable with a nomination in a few weeks. Wizardman 03:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know, I have restored the Edie Britt page to its former glory.

Just so you know, I have restored the Edie Britt page to its former glory. AdamDeanHall (talk) 13:19, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Stop removing information from the Edie Britt page. Just leave it as it is, OK?!! AdamDeanHall (talk) 21:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you please tell me why you changed "was" to "is" on the Edie Britt page? I thought the women of Wisteria Lane had seen the last of her in the episode Mother Said. AdamDeanHall (talk) 22:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Nikodim Tsarknias

What are you talking about? I simply changed "Slavic Macedonian" to "Ethnic Macedonian." We don't identify as Slavic Macedonian, I respect core-politics, but politics have nothing to do with self-determination. Mactruth (talk) 00:51, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Minorities in Greece

The picture it was compared to was deleted, showing only the "Macedonian Slavs as Bulgarian" picture. I thought it to be Bulgarian POV. Mactruth (talk) 00:59, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Both maps are now present. Mactruth (talk) 01:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Magioladitis, our ethnicity is constantly being denied, many trying to show we are not "Ethnic Macedonian" by stating we are "Bulgarian" or "Greek" or give us a new name like "Skopjan" or "Slav-Macedonian." You just don't understand what its like for peoples of the same religion and region to act that way.

I included "Officially recognized by Greece as Slav-Macedonian" but he does not state that, he and everyone else states (ethnic) Macedonian. Mactruth (talk) 01:14, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Prison Break

Well, it's gonna be tough, but why are you sending it to me personally? I'm not a merger. I don't do big stuff on Wikipedia. Just tell me that merging those episodes takes within an hour, then I'm willing to do it. But I'm not if it takes more time. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 00:20, 21 May 2008 (UTC) By the way I wasn't saying that I'm willing to do it, I was giving a suggestion. I do have plans in my live. I'm not sure if I can merge them all, let me think about it. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 00:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Could you not have kept some babes? It was nice. or like, fixed the re-directs? o)

Accursed

By all means mark articles such as 'Certain accursed ones of no significance' with "re dirty po" but as the incomprehensible message above hints, you must fix the redirects first. In this case, this edit and another to a user talk page were needed. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 20:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I was planning to fix the redirect. I had the window open when the phone rang. :)

I always open a new window with the whatlinksto in the redirect I have nominated for speedy deletion and I wait until it's deleted, then I fix the redirects. Thanks. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 20:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Redirects from foreign languages

Hi. I have a question because you are the most expert in redirects I know. About the Redirects from foreign languages. Did we end up in something at the end? I think we did and we could proceed and form it as Wikipedia's policy. Am I wrong? -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Back in February, I boldly closed the discussion and tagged the conclusion as an essay. No one has reverted me yet so I'm assuming people are comfortable with that decision. As an essay, you can start using it to guide decisions (and I have occasionally). If you think it should be promoted past mere essay status, I'd recommend 1) a different title that pulls it out of the sub-page format, 2) a user-friendly shortcut and 3) some advertising. Or we can leave it as is. I'm comfortable either way.

Thanks for reminding me of the page. By the way, I also expanded the note about historical placenames. Revert it if you disagree. Rossami (talk) 16:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree with the historic names and I think you did a wonderful job with that. Your idea to start a more centralised discussion was brilliant. I am not familiar in working with guidelines and essays, so I have to read a bit about it. The whole thing came into my mind after a discussion in here Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2008 May 22. We certainly need to promote this essay a bit and we need an easy-to-remember shortcut. I'll try to think of something but I am not very good in these things. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 17:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Alexander Mahone

I was mainly concerned with vandalism. I guess if I would have checked up on you, my concerns would have been eased. I was just working on categorizing and making it more clear and concise. Thank you for clearing that up. Bmwilliams08 (talk) 00:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

BIRTH-DEATH-SORT vs Lifetime

I hadn't noticed this was a redirect -- I will start using Lifetime instead. Thanks for pointing out the TfD! -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 14:22, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you help?

Hi. I noticed that my IP address has been used to vandalise an article a few weeks ago (article titled "Camel") on the 17th of May and I saw you were the user who sent me the messages pertaining to this issue. There was a person who had access to our internet while he stayed at our house for short period of time, and I would just like to know how did he vandalise the article? What was the vandalism concerning on the article "Camel"?

I apologise that my IP was recorded as vandalising a page and thank you deleting it.

Any further information about this case you be appreciated, as I'm worried about what the person would have done elsewhere on wikipedia, and would just like to know the details or how I can find out what text was edited during the vandalism.

Thank you, from Ethan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.92.55 (talk) 06:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

D. N. Pritt

We would seem to be fighting over contradictory WP policy here. In using the short form I followed the Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) instruction to use "The name that is most generally recognisable". D. N. Pritt is the most usual form of address both in 'dead tree' works and on the web, despite what has been WP practice. In the election results pages the official form 'Denis Nowell Pritt' is obviously appropriate, hence the piping. Philip Cross (talk) 20:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Contested prod for Melissa Hurst

Hi. Are you contesting the prod of Melissa Hurst? -- Magioladitis 08:08, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

No, 79.68.250.15 (talk) already contested the deletion. --Closedmouth (talk) 08:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

This was just a vandalism. Single edit, no edit summary, no reason in talk page. -- Magioladitis 08:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

From WP:PROD: "Contested deletions: If anyone, including the article's creator, removes a {{prod}} tag from an article for any reason, do not put it back, except when the removal is clearly not an objection to deletion (such as blanking the entire article). If the edit is not obviously vandalism, do not restore tag, even if the tag was apparently removed in bad faith. If you still believe that the article needs to be deleted, list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion." --Closedmouth (talk) 13:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Keyword: "for any reason". The prod was removed for "no reason". Moreover, single edit by this account shows "vandalism" and I reverted as "vandalism". Friendly, Magioladitis 13:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

No, it was removed because the user didn't think the article should be deleted. The whole point of the proposed deletion system is that it's used for uncontroversial deletions that nobody would object to, so that AFD doesn't get bogged down with articles that don't really need to be discussed; if anyone removes the prod notice, it means the deletion isn't uncontroversial. Although it's encouraged for people to explain why they are contesting the prod, it's not compulsory, and it doesn't constitute vandalism if they don't --Closedmouth (talk) 13:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. I sent it for AfD but because you are contesting the prod for a reason. (I take it as "I believe at least one editor disagrees with deletion") Why do you believe that the user just disagrees and it wasn't a vandalism? Since there is no edit summary we can't conclude that. I think it was a vandalism but I didn't give it a warning because I keep 5% of uncertainty. A reason would be "I don't' think so" or "I like this article" but no summary and no other edits in general? Let's see if this user will at least give a reason for keeping it in the Afd page. I'll leave him message in his talk page. Friendly,- Magioladitis 13:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I just added a warning to the user's talk page hoping from his participation in the Afd discussion. -- Magioladitis 13:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Why don't I think it was vandalism? Because I'm assuming good faith. The lack of edit summary means I have no evidence for or against it being vandalism, so I assume it wasn't, and that the user genuinely wanted the article to be kept. And again, I'm not contesting the prod, the user who first removed the tag is. --Closedmouth (talk) 13:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding this article, would it be OK for me to move it now to the List of past minor and recurring characters from Hollyoaks as I proposed in the AfD, or should I wait for the outcome of said AfD? ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 18:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Katherine Mayfair to be promoted

Did you check the discussion for the template? I believe that Katherine should be added. Since she has become one of them, why not add her as well. She is friends with them at the finale, she played poker with them five years on. She's even a regular cast member named right after the four main housewives. Don't you think this is enough evidence to be in the main cast?124.188.180.129 (talk) 01:59, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

I usually remove these once a character's left the show ala the other shows. Just out of curiosity; Why have you put them back in? -- Conq 17:36 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk pages tagged for deletion

Hi there; you have recently tagged a large number of blank talk pages for deletion. Please note that a blank talk page does not qualify for speedy deletion - please stop doing this. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 11:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, let me put it this way. If you do not stop tagging empty talk pages for speedy deletion you will become a possible candidate for blocking. I say again, please stop. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 11:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there; clearly we have a different approach to empty talk pages. Please talk to me. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 11:41, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you didn't give me waring while I was tagging because I just noticed them all. Let's discuss it. First of all: Should redirects have project banners? I think not. They is nothing there to improve. Secondly, since these talk pages have nothing should be deleted? My answer is yes. What is your opinion? Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 12:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there; simple answer - an empty article talk page should not be deleted. Please see WP:CSD. Many articles do not have comments in their talk pages, and they just sit and wait for comments. Please leave them alone. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 12:18, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Db-blanktalk reads: "It is a blank talk page with no substantial edit history". The talk pages I nonimated have only a banner addition. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I say again: blank article talk pages are not subject to deletion. Please let us not argue over this point: I have reverted already most if not all of your speedy tags. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 12:22, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I am afraid I do disagree. A blank article talkpage is not, repeat not subject to deletion. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 12:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

You have contested several of my decisions, which you have every right to do. Please go to WP:DRV if you feel that you have been seriously disadvantaged.--Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 12:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Db-blanktalk refers only to talk pages where no corresponding article exists. Are you arguing that redirects do not count as articles? If so, make that clear. Paul B (talk) 12:55, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

No, the wording on the template is irrelevant. It is the wording of the criteria that matter. Please read the actual Criteria for speedy deletion [1] Paul B (talk) 13:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I can't make any sense of what you are saying now. You seem to be being argumentative for the sake of it. The talk page point is clearly 8. My link was set up for readability, so the 8 came in mid screen. You even quoted it yourself so why are you now denying it? Paul B (talk) 13:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Please note that I had no intention of artginmg with you. I was asking for clarification of whetrher or not you were suggesting that redirects do not count as articles. I have not found discussion with you productive. Paul B (talk) 14:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

cleanup tags in Dbabbitt's sandbox

Hi there!

I am currently working hard on cleaning up articles tagged for copy edit, and found User:Dbabbitt/Sandbox tagged since July 2008. I noticed that you recently changed all the tags on that page from February to July 2008 in this edit. Was there a reason for this, and is there a reason why the long list of tags should not be deleted?

Thanks.

-Samuel Tan 13:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply :) Anyway I doubt the category of articles needing copy edit will get whittled down so much that the tags in his sandbox will need to be deleted heh. Thanks :) -Samuel Tan 16:07, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Removal of cat

Hi, can you tell me why you made this edit? It wasn't currect, and I hope you are not doing that to other articles as well. Badagnani (talk) 20:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you seem to have done the same in this edit. Can you please stop and reverse these mistaken edits? Badagnani (talk) 20:14, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, would you please address this issue rather than continuing with your bot run? Thank you, Badagnani (talk) 20:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you've just done it twice more, rather than address this problem here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manuel_Vega&diff=prev&oldid=227270453

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ramon_Te_Wake&diff=prev&oldid=227270495

Would you please stop and address this issue, and reverse your mistaken edits? Many thanks for this, Badagnani (talk) 20:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, would you please address this issue instead of continuing with your bot run? You have just removed several "Date of birth missing" categories, that were correct. In those cases, the date of birth was indeed unknown (we had only the year). The "Date of birth missing" cat (which is different from a "Year of birth missing" cat) should remain. Badagnani (talk) 20:21, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

You also removed the cat from articles where the individual's year of birth and date of birth were missing, and the lead said, "born ca. 1970." That was wrong and please do not do it. You also removed the category "Date of birth missing" from individuals who unquestionably are public figures, such as John Yoo. That was equally wrong. In both cases, it's clear that the automated manner of doing this allowed you to make incorrect removals. Please now go back and undo the mistaken edits you made. Badagnani (talk) 20:30, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Please stop

Please stop. You just removed the "Date of birth missing" category from an article of someone whose date of birth is missing. [2]. Please stop. Badagnani (talk) 20:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. You are not helping by simply removing a cat, and not replacing it with a proper cat, in the proper place. It is destructive and I ask you to please stop. Badagnani (talk) 20:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I second Badagnani's request. The program that you are running is leaving misinformation on many pages. Look at this page Murray Melvin. We know what year he was born. We don't know what date he was born. These categories are for people to be able to tell what information is missing and the year of birth is NOT missing for this person. You probably need to go back and reverse all that this bot has done. Your help in this will be appreciated. MarnetteD | Talk 20:52, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Just because date of birth can go on to talk pages (and this wasn't always the case) doesn't meant that year of birth should go on a page where the year of birth already exists. Also just because a task is approved doesn't mean that it is doing the correct your bot was leaving incorrect information on pages. You might want to make yourself aware of what happened to betacommandbot whose tasks were also "approved". You did not think through all of the ramifications of this program that you ran. That kind of thing happens. As long as you fix the mistakes then you can learn from this and move on. Happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 21:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

You are still putting the year of birth missing category on pages where the year of birth is NOT missing. See Peter Howell (actor) and the above mentioned Murray Melsin for examples. Please stop this. MarnetteD | Talk 21:49, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Robert Russell (English actor)

Yobot replaced the "Date of birth missing" with "Year of birth missing" in the article page. The year of birth is not missing, the date of birth is. I removed "Year of birth missing" and added "Date of birth missing" to the talk page which is where it belongs. I think the bot may be making other similar errors. Please look into this. Regards, Leofric1 (talk) 20:54, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Date of birth missing on talk page

Thanks for letting me know - I hadn't seen anything to the effect that this policy had changed. When creating the Art Drysdale page I simply looked for all existing categories and put the article into all that applied. My recent edit was due to an edit (by a Bot, I think) which seems to be replacing "Date of Birth Missing" with "Year of Birth Missing," which I instinctively saw as wrong given that the year is right there in the article. Given that there are probably hundreds if not thousands of biography articles done in a similar way, I imagine there must now several hours of editing that needs to be done to fix this.

A few 'bad' tags

I came across a few of Yobot's tags today that didn't look kosher. Letting you know in case it turns out to be a symptom of a problem.

• Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon - the 'living' parameter in the WPBIO tag was changed to 'no', but this article is about multiple people. I corrected it.
• Northern Illinois University shooting - not sure why this got tagged with WPBIO at all, but it's about multiple people, many of whom are still living, so the living=no parameter was incorrect. I corrected the parameter, but didn't remove the tag.
• 2008 stabbings at Beijing Drum Tower - not sure why this was tagged WPBIO either, but living=no was inappropriate as several named victims are still alive. Someone else removed the tag entirely.

I replied. -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:32, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Olympiakos Kato Achaia

How much information is in that article, does that article have the full information? Will it be kept or to be removed? What happened to that article in the Greek version? Pumpie (talk) 22:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

1st remark: This team doesn't play in any national division. It plays in the third (the last) division of Achaia, a local division.

2nd remark: After your comment I found that the article exists in el:Α.Π.Σ. Ολυμπιακός Πατρών, so it's not true that it was deleted (still the link indicated doesn't exist). 3rd remark: If you think we have to keep the article, please remove the prod. I still have the impression that the team is not notable enough but I am not sure about the notability rules for the football team. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 22:40, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

On the decision on the questioning if that article is to be deleted, it is uncertain. I think it will not be restored until it has a very few information, the only way to do it for now is redirect the article to the Achaia Football Guild Union along with all the teams formerly edited (e.g. Sageika). In that case, the talking cannot go on. That article on that Wikipedia has been removed and when it is removed for not, instead of deleting, redirect Olympiakos Kato Achaia to the Achaia Football Guild Union and delink Olympiakos Kato Achaia. We know the team is not in the national division and does not have much fame since its population is over 5,000. It will not be restored when some notable information is added later.

WPGR

Um, why? Sure it's a fictionalized version, but it is the same subject.--Marhawkman (talk) 05:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Since I did a lot of removing the last days I am not sure to which one you are referring to, but let me give the general idea. An editor, now banned, added tenths of articles with short relation to Greece in the project (along with 2 other projects). WPGR is dealing with articles that have direct relation to Greece and not indirect. For example "Xena" is not even part of the Greek mythology! Some films using characters called "Hercules" etc but are not really related to the Greek history or mythology can be handled better from other projects, but not from WPGR. The same stands for the fictional Marvel/DC characters with the Greek god names. The project is not interesting in these articles. Friendly, Magioladitis 10:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, it was "List of characters in Hercules and Xena". It's mostly a catalogue of mythological figures shown in those TV shows.--Marhawkman (talk) 10:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Just take a look in User_talk:Dimadick#About your Wikiproject tagging again. Many editors disagreed with this mass tagging. I am not working on the Greek Mythology project so I am not sure, but since I am no the WPGR for some time, I am quite definite that these articles are outside of the scope of the project. -- Magioladitis 10:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't really have strong feelings either way. i was more curious why it was done than upset about it.--Marhawkman (talk) 10:45, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Coronation Street durations

Firstly, I did not know that you were behind Yobot, so this is not me being biased because of the ongoing debates about WP:WPEE related things.

I just wanted to say, the duration fields that you are removing from infoboxes are there because characters come and go between their first and last dates, so they are handy to see which years a character appeared in the show. Was it discussed anywhere before you decided to remove them all? If not, please raise the issue at WT:WPEE before doing this to any EastEnders articles, as I for one will object to this, and would like to have my say before you make the decision to do this to any EastEnders articles. Thanks. -Trampikey^{(talk)(contribs)} 15:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Absuridties abound

I really don't care what that article says. Fact remains the character in question "did" die on the show, saying otherwise defies all logic. The character died of a heart attack. That's an undesputable fact. Sardonicone (talk) 14:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I read it, and no where does it say "characters..are not born or die" of course they do. Again, you're interpretation is not an aboslute one, and thinking as such is absurd Sardonicone (talk) 19:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Charmed Pages

Hi there, I was just wondering if you could point me in the direction of the discussion to remove the "Status" line from the Charmed pages, as I pretty much don't agree with removing it. Thanks! Tavy08 (talk) 18:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi. From my point of view, infoboxes are supposed to give a short description of the character for readers who want to take a general idea of the character's profile. This should apply for users watching previous episodes for the first time as well. Check talk the discussion for the Lost infobox and mainly the discussion for Heroes infobox. There were more discussion, not caused by me, but I can't find them right now. I remember, that for some time, some Lost fans were using "Location" in order to describe "status" after the latter's deletion :)

See that conditions such "alive", "dead" depend on the episode you watch and when writing about fiction there is not "current status". Check discussions about the use of the term "former". Moreover, other conditions like "imprisoned", "wounded", etc. are a perfect area for speculations.

Lastly, if you search all the character's infoboxes, i don't think that you can find any other reporting the "status" anymore. Check recent discussion in Template_talk:Coronation_Street_character#.22Status.22.

Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 18:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, I agree and disagree but I understand your explanation, so let's leave it as is. Thanks for the speedy reply, I was a little worried you were just randomly removing all the "Status" lines for no reason since I couldn't find any discussions on it.

Thanks once again. Tavy08 (talk) 18:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

No problem. It would be much better if I had started a discussion in template's talk page first but I checked and the talk page was blank. I am trying to improve articles about fictional characters by adding link to fictional character, replacing History/Biography with "Character's background" according to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) and removed status from templates. In many cases I am proposing merge to more general templates like {{Infobox character}} and {{Infobox soap character}}. It seems that the Infobox Charm character can't be merged. Have a nice day! -- Magioladitis (talk) 19:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

TfD Discussion on Template:U.S. State Senate Majority Leaders

In response to my nomination of Template:U.S. State Senate Majority Leaders for deletion and your related comments, User:Jack Cox has corrected the template so that it longer duplicates Template:U.S. State Treasurers. I have left comments on both the aforemention TfD discussion page and his UserPage indicating that I no longer support deleting the template. --TommyBoy (talk) 04:16, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

'24' redirects

Hi, I'm just curious as to why you've removed the information from some 24 character pages (such as Renee Walker and Jonas Hodges for example) -- they were already redirects before you edited the page. The idea was that editors would be able to update/maintain the character pages and add references etc as news became public but still keep those pages as redirects since the upcoming season hasn't yet aired. Thought that was a smart idea, but if we broke some rules or whatever I'd like to know about it. Thanks! SeanMooney (talk) 10:42, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Mandy Dingle

I don't intend to take this any further, but I find your actions very disappointing. Instead of actually working to keep the info, but making a potted biography with infobox etc on a past characters page, you've just removed the whole article - thus losing all the information. It always seems to be Emmerdale and Coronation Street characters this happens to, never EastEnders, despite many of them being purley in-universe.--UpDown (talk) 14:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

The notability tag put by someone a year ago (and none removed) says, if notability cannot be established, the article should be deleted, merged or redirected. Since prod was rejected, I think converting to a redirect to a list, reserving the article's history, is the best solution until someone presents an improved version of the article with references or something like that. I encourage you to write an article with short summaries about past characters of the show. All the information is in article's history. In Coronation Streets this helps me copy the whole content there. I am not an expert in writing summaries and certainly not have the time to do it. Friendly, -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:25, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

This is a good way to avoid notability problems think: List of past recurring and minor Coronation Street characters. If you start it I can help by adding information there. -- Magioladitis (talk) 14:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

List of past Coronation Street characters (1990-1999)

Hi, sorry, but I had to revert back to a version of this article before you made changes with your bot. The vandal ip that continuously alters dates had been tampering with it and it was simpler just to revert to a version before. Will you be able to do the Bot changes again? --GunGagdin^Moan 18:50, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, the ip has been blocked, but only for a week. Annoying that they dont just do it indefinitely, he's only here to vandalise! GunGagdin^Moan 19:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Delinking dates

Hi,

I just saw your feature request at AWB. It will be interesting to see the response. In the meantime, you can run the monobook script for yourself. Just go to User:Magioladitis/monobook.js and, at the bottom, add:

importScript('User:Lightmouse/monobook.js/script.js');

then save the page. Then clear your cache according to the instructions. That is all. When you next edit a page, look in the 'toolbox' at the bottom left below 'What links here'. You will see 'Delink dates to dmy' and 'Delink dates to mdy' plus some other handy options. Try it and let me know how you get on. Lightmouse (talk) 11:21, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Coronation Street

The Coronation Street template i think should be used for all the characters, including past characters, after all, they're still Coronation Street characters! Ced 9:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I can't seem to get colour on the profile of Luigi on List of past recurring and minor Coronation Street characters, why? Ced 10:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry. What was wrong was that the color i used was like this:#FOE68C rather than like this: #F0E68C, with a O instead of a zero, i must have realised and changed it before you looked, that's why you saw it right on your screen. Ced 11:24, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree, actually, theres not really any point in the Past recurring and minor article, many of the characters set on the others were minor anyway, although maybe before doing this nominate it for deletion or bring it up on the WikiProject. Ced 12:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Heroes characters.

You sent a message to me about references needed from NBC for list of Heroes characters. But in the page itself, only a few of the characters actually have references to them. Noah Gray-Cabey appeared in season 3 episode 2, therefore he recurred in this season. Please don't revert pages back to the way you like them just because you have a problem with the truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.212.81 (talk) 01:25, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

merging

I am glad to see you placed merge tags in the proper way, rather than follow the bad advice you were given by TTN, to merge without discussion. It's doing just that which got him blocked before, and I'm surprised he didn't remember. DGG (talk) 03:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppet Max Mux

In theory he is guilty of committing Sockpuppetry, but please don't report him, hes still new to wikipedia and he forgets to log in a lot. I've told him this many of times, but he forgets. Could you just remind him to log in as well, that would be most helpful. Regards Ijanderson (talk) 12:20, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm well I'll give him one last warning over everything and if he violates anything else again, we'll have to report him. Regards Ijanderson (talk) 12:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes he does need to be fully taught wikipedia's polices. Also he is not that good with English, he is German. He is editing from a University in Germnay (ive forgotten which one), but i found this out by checking is IP address. Regards Ijanderson (talk) 12:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm very careful now to log me in every time. Max Mux (talk) 18:57, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

User:Infoart

I took a look at the two articles by Infoart which you prod'd, have added some refs and think they pass the bar. Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts has done a lot of work with this editor, reviewing over 150 of his articles, deleting some and cutting material that didn't meet wiki policies. You might like to post on the project talk page to get a review of anything that seems questionable to ascertain whether refs exist or deletion is the way forward. If you do nom anything for AfD, please list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual arts. If you're not happy still with the two articles, let me know and I'll add to them, but they are not top of my priority list. Ty 00:23, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for converting the URLs to refs. Ty 02:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Yobot

What's the deal with this edit? [3] It's most certainly supported in the article that the character is female and has brown hair (there's a photo, even). Maybe that feature needs to be struck from the bot, this reversion was unhelpful. -- AvatarMN (talk) 06:30, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
