Yeah, I would have fixed it quicker if someone hadn't saved while I was working. Thanks for the attention, though.KrytenKoro 01:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. It's about time someone other than myself said these things. Nightscream 18:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Version 7.

That's not what you're reverting to, look at the diff link and compare it to #7. --Mardavich 04:07, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Excuse me, but the version shouldn't have changed at all until the voting has been completed - and I quote you here -

"ALL votes cast by ALL the registered users will be counted, and there will be no expectations whatsoever. --Mardavich 22:44, 11 April 2007 (UTC)"

So, let us leave the statment alone until voting is completed, shall we? However, you are welcome to suggest an alternative on the talk page that people can agree with. Maybe we should work on that particular skill set. Arcayne () 04:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't quote ME, that's mardavich there. I'vebeen backing up YOUR restoration of the pre-Arad edit. You don't want my help? i'm out. Good luck. ThuranX 04:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I can see fine, thank you. You're reverting to:

"300 is a 2007 film adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller Frank Miller , itself partly inspired by another film based on the Battle of Thermopylae, The 300 Spartans."

This is version #7:

"300 is a 2007 film adaptation of the graphic novel 300 by Frank Miller, itself partly inspired by another film, The 300 Spartans and is a fictional account of the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. "

You see the difference now? --Mardavich 04:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, and yours isn't #7 either. get off your high horse. ThuranX 04:21, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Exactly, and neither is yours, so please just change it to #7 per your own rational. Thanks. --Mardavich 04:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

No, you'd only revert it out for other reasons. The article's as much a POV minefield now as before. No point in fighting it anymore, i'm dropping it from my watchlist. ThuranX 04:26, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Snakes & Arrows

How do I cite it? All I know is; I've got it right here by my keyboard as I type. what can I cite to prove that? Happy to leave the comment out but interested to know how I'm expected to cite it. Warners AU aren't going to post anything saying, "Oops, we f**ked up don't hurt us parent company. Please." Are they? So how do I find a citable source?

Oh, it is absolutely awesome. Make sure you're there as the shops open on the 1st because you won't want to miss the opportunity to hear it the extra few times getting it early will allow you in your lifetime. This coming from someone who was disapointed with "Vapor Trails" and "Test For Echo". Let me know what you think about "The Way The Wind Blows" - that's my favourite at the moment. Answer here because I've switched on watching on your page & conversations on two talk pages are fragmented Megamanic 05:20, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

See, here's the problem. You can't cite yourself. here's a couple good links: WP:ATT, and WP:CITE. they should help you with citation and knowing what it is taht wikipedia considers reliable sources for citation. Editors generally cannot cite themselves, because "I have the new Rush album right here in my own hand nad I have heard it" and 'I am the new messiah, come to save the lollipop kids" are equally impossible for other wikipedia editors to verify, and verification is a major aspect of the attribution policy (the ATT above). Obviously overall, editors will be far more likely to believe you than that candy messiah, but all the same, there's no way that anyone can verify your claims. However, finding a news article or press release about the date conflict would be fine. If you find an online newspaper which mentions it, simply put a around the URL, and put that URL in brackets at the end of the text you add, then in the edit sumary, state something like, 'added early AU release, please fix my cite', and leave a similar note on the article's talk page. A more experienced editor will probably have yoru citation in the proper format by the next day. Alternately, find the appropriate citation style from WP:CITE, and try using the available template to help out, and all you do is fill in a few blanks. Hope this helps.

Wait, you mean the Lollipop Kid Messiah isn't coming? How about the Gumdrop Toddler Mother Ship? ;) Arcayne () 16:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Why did you recover the phrase "a man believed to be Sylar"? We've seen that is Sylar. The description is probably before we really find out that the man with the jokey cup is Sylar. -- Magioladitis 13:06, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm trying to find ways to shorten a little bit the descriptions. They are to detailed. English grammar is not my strong point... yet. -- Magioladitis 13:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

In future maybe you would want to base your comments on facts instead of opinion.

I have replied to your comments here.--Vintagekits 00:07, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Rush is North American

• I've been able to get this guy blocked before based on sheer persistence; there might be more than one guy, though. At least one of the anonymous users that does this is from Japan. JuJube 05:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Heroes Episode#20

How did you get to see this episode before its air date?--Lostcause365 16:01, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Spider-Man 3 talk page

I must have been editing an older version somehow. Thanks for the revert. --Atlan 12:39, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Since you were involved with Spider-Man 3 for a while, can you take a look at Spider-Man 4, currently undergoing AfD? Your perspective is welcome. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

With respect, some questions re "How does Peter know he caused explosion? - NOT A FORUM."

I'm new at wikipedia. I don't understand why I can't discuss an issue regarding the show Heroes(TV Series).

I think people are assuming a person explodes and that the person is Peter. I haven't seen, heard or read anything that conclusively settles this.

I'm not trying to start an argument with you. I'm just looking for some guidance on the criteria used to remove my serious question, that drew three responses in less than one day, with one person commenting "Yep, that is an interesting question - I've been wondering about this myself... "

--Raymm 01:27, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!

Thank you for taking such prompt action on the issue I posted in ANI! --vi5in 19:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the input. See the IP editor's talk page, it's worse there. The comment from Capitalistroadster made here is of relevance as well. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 22:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Genre in HIM (band)

I was not arguing that Love Metal should be included, I was arguing that Debated is NOT a valid genre. ≈ Maurauth 14:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Rush and genres

Firstly, thank you for encouraging me to use the talk page to state my reasons for the edit. I'm glad you agree that this is a hotly debated issue, and you're absolutely right that it deserves explanation via talk page.

I've put a full explanation on the talk page for the Rush article as you suggested. Please feel free to have a look at it, and comment further on it as you see fit.

I hope it's clear that my reasons for the edit are that I want settle for good what has already been, essentially, a long slow edit war over what Genre(s) rush deserves to be labeled in an encyclopedia. I'm aiming for consensus. Personally, I (A) get satisfaction from coming up with a solution that reaches consensus, and conversely, (B) get irritated over "long, slow, quiet edit wars" like I've observed -- It seems that every week or three upon returning to the Rush page, the genre has changed yet again. : ) I've endeavored to be Geneva, in this edit war.

So my goal has been to help form a consensus, which will hopefully end the long slow edit war, and keep the "Genre" entry, specifically, as consistent as possible. (Until Rush breaks out the Country album they keep jokingly threatening to make -- then it's obviously time for a rewrite : )

So again, thanks for pushing me in the right direction. I welcome your input. And I'm not going to get upset if someone disagrees with me -- My paramount hope is just that we get something everyone can agree on as objectively as possible.

Thanks!

redirects

I'd like you to explain that statement. Stellar disk was a dictdef that was transwikied to Wiktionary, and set for deletion, and covered teh same content as disc (galaxy). template:dict was a redirect that redirected to a redirect, and fixed the double redirect. Dark Knight was a DAB page before May 11, and I restored the DAB page, from the redirect. What established articles that were not on PROD did I turn into redirects? 132.205.44.134 22:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Assume Good Faith, you do not. 132.205.44.134 22:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Accusing everyone from a particular IP block of actions of everyone on that IP block is particulary not nice. If you want everyone to register for an account, go and get a policy change. Your response seems to be sure to want to make sure that people do not contribute, or to make sure that people use throwaway accounts all the time. 132.205.44.134 22:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Alright, you're trolling, and you want a fight. The timing was suspicious to me. I never said anything hostile, iasked you to stop, nicely, belieing you were a new editor who didn't realize what the chagnes were doing. As it turns out, you weren't connected to that editor, and just coincidentally further confused the problems. I suggest that you get an account so that you're not taken for a random collection of editors using a collegiate IP, and you get hostile. Go away now. Do not reply, do NOT come back. What happened was a simple error, compounded by your obstinate insistence that having accounts is stupid. ThuranX 22:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Captain Marvel

Everything I added was from the comics not my own theories.70.170.27.143 04:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

wp:ani

sorry, computer broke for a couple of days, so I didn't get to reply to you.

I DID try the spoiler thing first on my sandbox, and until it was working there I moved it to the template. The main problem was the lag between the saving of spoiler and endspoiler, coupled to the fact that many people forget or are lazy and not include endspoiler template eeven though the tempalte documentation says it so. So yes. I asked a couple of guys if that was a sensible idea nad they said yes, so I went ahead and tried it. It did work, itdidn't break any policy (at least not any of the 5 important ones). I'm all saying that the inmediate knee jerk reaction of desysop calling was unwarranted. -- drini 17:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Glad to help! The info I added was from here: Jokestress 00:59, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Steve Gerber

If you think Will Eisner needs a template, make one. Don't try to marginalize an important and influential writer like Steve Gerber. I'd make one about Eisner, but I'm woefully ignorant of his work on the whole. --Scottandrewhutchins 16:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Gerber's a nobody. he's a dime-a-dozen writer whose best contributions were made so by better writers. He doesn't need a template any more than 90% of the comics industry does. The few names that matter stand out. He doesn't. he's non-notable, and frankly, he's probably best known as the guy who claremont replaced. Big deal. This is fancruft and link collection, and nothing more. Templates for Eisner, Lee, Kirby, Miller, Gaiman and Moore would matter. Gerber doesn't rank that high. Not by a long shot. ThuranX 22:10, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Ghostrider

It is a relevant point to compare Mephistopheles to a character in the Nicholas cage film, as a point of debate to whether that is a worthy item to be linked to the page. I appreciate the sentiment, re forum, however it could have been handled more diplomatically. Many thanks.CorleoneSerpicoMontana 15:49, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

After reading what I wrote it wasn't quite what I thought I had put down. It was a wiki-worthy comment in my head, but upon typing it came out mcuh less a valid wikipedia comment. Cheers CorleoneSerpicoMontana 12:06, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

please dont mess with my edit. its not your website. THANK YOU!!
