——————————————— MY TALK PAGE ———————————————
Welcome To Agent 86's Talk Page
* Please Leave Your Comments Below: Place comments that start a new topic at the bottom of the page and give them ==A descriptive header==. Please sign your comments using four tildes (~~~~). If you're new to Misplaced Pages, please see Welcome to Misplaced Pages and frequently asked questions.
* My Talk Page Discussion Practice: I know there's some suggested guideline on this point, but out of sheer laziness, until I look it up again (per my procrastination policy), this will be my practice for now: I will respond to any questions, queries, comments, etc. on this page, so as to maintain the flow and not have to flip between talk pages to follow the conversation. (Okay, I've since looked it up, but see my user page re: procrastination.)

Chopped Redux
I just cleaned out the trivia, and was pretty savage. I've also started a discussion on the article's talk page. I saw your response to the last message I left once it disappeared into your archive, so I didn't have a chance to reply. You made a good point about the tableized (is that word? It should be!) articles, but something needs to be done to at least simplify and make more concise the presentation of the ingredients, judges and outcomes. And then there's the issue of overlinking!

- Sorry about that, Chief. I noticed that I had four years' worth of material on the last iteration of my talk page, so I figured I was wayyyyy overdue for archivisation of it.Agent 86 (talk) 10:24, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- Gad. I feel like Maxwell Smart should join the discussion. We're totally cool. I just wanted you to know why I hadn't responded. Do you ever use a Talkback when you reply to a comment on your talk page? Drmargi (talk) 14:45, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- No, I haven't. I should get used to doing that (subject, of course, to my personal procrastination policy, whatever that is or was, I haven't gotten around to re-reading it).Agent 86 (talk) 00:37, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

UPDATE: DONE, DONE, DONE! I left a message on the show's talk page, but the whole article is now in table form. I've currently commented out Season 8 and the last episode of Season 7 until they can be sourced. It won't take me long. It sure looks better in table form. Over to you to review it!! --Drmargi (talk) 17:56, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Please stop inserting hyphens where they are not needed. See the fourth bullet point under WP:HYPHEN #3. Chris the speller 08:33, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

DYK for Katrina Dunn
 | On 12 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Katrina Dunn, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that producer Katrina Dunn of Vancouver was awarded the Golden Bra in 2010? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In
this user decided they are same. Then some other bot linked them all. So if you think that's not correct, you should remove those links from sv.wikipedia and all other connected wikis (not only en.wiki), otherwise, bots will continue to link those two articles, all bots, not only mine :). Thank you for reporting the issue, stay well :) --Dalibor Bosits 07:59, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Robert Muir lead section
Hi Agent 86:
This ain't agent 99, more like Hymie the Robot here. Anyway, I just wanted to remind you about two important elements when dealing with a lead section, or opening paragraph, of a biography. One, there is no need for inline citations as explained in WP:LEADCITE, because the information in the lead section is also in the body section of the article, and cited. Two, putting place of birth in the first sentence, where the dates are listed, is not standard, and only should be included in the paragraph proper WP:Lead and MOS:BIO.
Other than that, I'm glad that you are actually citing information, as usually these kinds of articles are written from someone's "memories". I usually end-up trying to find citations for articles that interest me to get them to GA or FA status. B.T.W., the sources cited do not indicate that Muir "self-designated" his senatorial seat. The Globe and Mail article that you cite, does not mention that, other than he was an MP from Cape Breton —The Sydneys. Do you have a source that explicitly states that he did indeed get to create his own seat? I have access to both The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, The Montreal Gazette, and The Ottawa Citizenfrom that period, and they don't seem to mention that he did that.
If I sound too critical, I don't mean to be, as I think it is great that you are citing sources, even when its not needed: most people do the opposite. Take care.--Abebenjoe (talk) 02:15, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- Certainly; however, I don't think reverting all my changes were appropriate, because I did more than edit the lead. Moreover, not all the info in the lead paragraph is repeated below. I also note that there were edits by an intervening editor, but your edit summary ignores that you reverted another editor as well. That all said, my interest in the topic is completed, so I'll leave the article to you.
- If I too may make a suggestion, please use the “Show Preview” button rather than saving every edit all the time. It makes for a rather long change history of the article with the number of edits listed in the "recent changes" page. Happy editing! Agent 86 (talk) 03:58, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
The Dating Guy
It's worse than an edit war. Elizium turns out to be a Teletoon employee. Further, he has been waging a war to get "friendly admins" to ban those who oppose him as sockpuppets.
In the interest of disclosure I'll happily reveal to you that I along with 50,000 other nerds, many who are both wikipedians and LICD fans, am in Atlanta for Dragoncon this weekend. So feel free to bring that up if these lame-ass losers accuse me of being a "sockpuppet" too.
Cheers, Dave
