Two-Face GA

I saw your topic about trying to get Two-Face to being a GA. I haven't edited the article much, but I really like Two-Face, so if there's anything I can do to help to improve the article let me know. Thanks.--CyberGhostface (talk) 00:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

You funny man!

Regarding your comments on the AfD for Canyon of the Vaginas - you are too funny! :-D Ecoleetage (talk) 01:37, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Teen Titans

The One Year Later section of Teen Titans vol 3 in this article is too long. There is no need to summarize every arc in this ongoing series. You undid my edit, and i was just wondering why you feel it's important to keep all of that information. I see it as unnecessary and was simply trying to keep the article as a whole balanced and what i see as a reasonable length

As a side note, i don't think "in shambles" is informal language, but that doesn't really matter, you can use in disarray or anything else that seems more formal to you.

let me know what you think

Green Hulk vs. Red Hulk

I know it would be logical to say that who the writers want to win will win but can you give me your opinion on who would win a fight between the Red and Green Hulk and why? I would like it be an in-universe style. Thanks!! The K.O. King (talk) 01:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Sigh

... you're probably right. That doesn't mean I want to hear it right now. Maybe later. --Blechnic (talk) 00:15, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Yo man, don't spazz yourself. If you'd given me a million bucks five minutes ago I would have wished for gold so it would have hurt more when I hit you with it.  ; Thanks for trying, though. --Blechnic (talk) 00:22, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

"So leave it"

What is up with that? If the tank in the film says it than so be it and I accept I was in error. I don't remember it saying that and there wasn't any sort of citation that I could check at the time.I think it also said "Weapon Zero" which would mean that according to the various retcons of Marvel history that it is in fact the original serum. I'm just trying to get the contents of the article correct like everyone else and would appreciate people giving me the same understanding and civility that I try to offer (although admittedly I don't always get it right either).

Interferring

Hi TX,

Is SA "interferring" or is he just removing what he considers to be a personal attack? Let's face it, because SA is "on the nose" it seems that then it's open slather for comments that are unacceptable in articlespaces to be acceptable in projectspace. SA should be well within his rights to remove it, particularly as admins don't seem interested in backing up their CIVIL concerns....save were it comes to not blocking altmed advocates. Shot info (talk) 01:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, I must admit, I didn't expect you to respond at all. However I know of SA, and I've seen the personal attacks on him go on, and on and on, until he does something that all of a sudden makes people sit up and notice (for example, rvv Lugwids). Now that masks the actual personal attack unfortunately and I note that admins still aren't doing anything about it. O well. I guess the Community wants more civil pov pushers rather than slightly less than civil editors who provide good content. Sighhh Shot info (talk) 03:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Reception sections

Hi there. You said that you "oppose the prosification... of RT stats as a lazy way to write a reactions/reception section" over at The Dark Knight article. As it happens, several of us have come up with an amendment to WP:MOSFILM, which can be viewed on the MOSFILM talk page. If you have any comments or suggestions, we'd like to hear them. Thanks, Steve 19:38, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Fringe theories/Noticeboard

While your contributions to the noticeboard are appreciated, I hope you aren't offended by my reminding you to please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. The discussions at WP:FTN are by their nature controversial, and often become heated. It's best to closely follow talk page guidelines and keep a cool head even when you think others are not. --Ronz (talk) 22:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

NYScholar

What the hell is with this "it"? There's something far more sinister at work here. I don't know what it is...but it goes deep. --Stuthomas4 (talk) 23:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Can't we get them at least to take a break. There have to be some guidelines on our side here. --Stuthomas4 (talk) 23:49, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Do not talk about that editor. Addressing that editor directly or indirectly is a violation of all =policies, according to that editor. In fact, do not address me either, for the same reason. I am NOT addressing anyone in this not-a-reply. (more to the point, he's already screaming policy till he's blue in the face. whatever, ignore him. I'm ignoring the entire thing now.) ThuranX (talk) 23:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

I did like your last argument though. Gave me a laugh. But this DID NOT HAPPEN. I was never here. --Stuthomas4 (talk) 00:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for backing me up. That kind of attitude makes me more thankful for the kind of collaboration that can exist between you, me, Alientraveller, Steve, etc. Hopefully, this won't turn any uglier than it already is. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I know you don't want to talk about this, but sorry about the rude comments. :-( Originally I only wanted to tell "it" that he didn't have to write so much, but I wrote it quite rudely and screwed myself over. I guess "it" was quite angry at me, and that's why "it" said I was stupid. Acutally I laughed for quite a while when I read what he said, lol. I guess the Scholar and I are even, in regards to rude comments... Corn.u.co.pia ŢĐЌ Disc.us.sion 07:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

What I think

Well, ThuranX, I have way too much time on my hands as I am a completely unbusy person, so I'll keep this short. I have been lurking the AN/I boards for the past month or so after I've finished with my vandal watch list, and I've never ever seen anyone not gain a soft-hearted supporter on there no matter how troublesome or black of heart, at least, not until now. (Feel free to archive this the minute I finish typing it, and answer back in the archives. ;) ) Aunt Entropy (talk) 00:37, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

For what it's worth, the soft-hearted supporter as often as not tends to be me, and I guess maybe I was a little lenient here. John Carter (talk) 00:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused by Aunt Entropy's meaning. Am I breing called softhearted, or is she saying no one's being soft hearted to NYScholar? or that invariably someone arrives to 'go easy' on offenders? As to Jon, I think you've been adequately fair. You're outside this abit, and helping bring a responsible closure. not soft at all. ThuranX (talk) 01:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

No, sorry about the confusion. From what I see on AN/I invariably even the most tenditious editor will gain a supporter. That was the first case where the claimant absolutely had no one to support him. That says something about the claimant right there. And I agree, JC did good, overall a wise decision. Aunt Entropy (talk) 18:20, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Bruce Wayne

Yeah, I came across that article when it was linked in the Smallville article. It needs some major clean up. It's heavily unsourced, and contains a lot of misguided information that was fueld by fan rumors (like the bit about Adam Knight that I removed). I don't have a lot of time nowadays (working 70+ hours a week) because of my internship--I can barely find the time to clean up the character page I created--but if you want to work together to clean up that article that would be great. I know they mention the show briefly in the Smallville: Season 1 Companion book that I have. I'm sure there is more information on the web somewhere.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

One important thing is that we'll have to replace all those kryptonsite and batman-on-film sources (unless they are direct interviews), because they are fansites and not 100% reliable.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Understandable. When I get a chance I'll skim through that book and grab whatever mentionings of Bruce Wayne there are....wait a minute......there is a brief mention of it at the Smallville page. Well, that helps out some. But I'll re-skim the book to see if there was anything I left out because it wasn't entirely relevant to the Smallville article. (Off to do a quick copy/paste job before I got to bed).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:23, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, no "studies" per say. My internship (which is me counseling a bunch of substance abusing adolescents) and my full time job are all that I have this summer. But, rest is always a good thing and something I'm not getting enough of...speaking of which. I added that stuff and cut some other info (there is some contradictory things in there...hopefully we'll be able to piece it together)....and now I'm off to bed. Cheers.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

There's no policy on it. At worst it would be two articles that state the same information, requiring us to ditch one of them (er...that would end up being the Bruce Wayne article if that happens). Eventually, once we get enough we'll reword things to read better in this article and it won't matter that the same information is presented elsewhere.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 11:48, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Barefoot Bandit/Creepy Crawler at AN/I

Hi,

Ya, I'm not sure if barefoot guy and creepy are the same person; I don't remember at what point I came to think they were the same person and why, but I'm sure my reasoning was excellent at the time : ) They have some overlapping interest regarding editing comic pages, but that might be where it stops (my other explanation is that Creepy's interests changed over time, but given the 2008 reports I'm seeing that doesn't seem to be the case). Unfortunately there's now the unenviable task of sorting out who is creepy and who is barefoot guy, if they're different. I hate sockpuppets. WLU (talk) 12:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Archiving assistance

ThuranX, hi, would it be alright if I setup an archivebot for your page? It's currently over 170K, and some people's browsers start having trouble with anything over 32K. But I could set up a bot that would automatically archive threads that had been inactive for a certain amount of time (30 days?) and then you would have to worry about it anymore. Let me know, --Elonka 19:25, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate your perspective - just wanted some balance... Best, A Sniper (talk) 22:44, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Batman Begins

Hi, please explain the reference's reliability at Misplaced Pages:Peer review/Batman Begins/archive2. Thanks. Gary King (talk) 19:53, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Cheers, thanks Gary King (talk) 20:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

re:dethklok

Hopefully the article can stay like that ;). A couple more months, and that article would have likely been tagged for deletion by grim reaper :x or a deltionist. Thanks for the help. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  18:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I would not consider you a deletionist - I think your more on the lines of an exclusionist. A deletionist would have taken one look at the article, and taken it to AFD :p I posted some suggestions to re-improve the article back in may, but some novice editor bogged down the idea. Instead, I worked on the article in one of my sub pages until I felt I had trimmed out the dead weight. :p --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  18:11, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

I was deleting a couple of vandal edits. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

re: Misplaced Pages Reform School

Can't help but notice that there are quite a few editors in the corrective mentorship program, and it seems to be expanding greatly day by day. Is there a list of editors and their mentors somewhere to keep track? Or is it up to involved editors who've had to deal with these people in the past to follow up on these mentorships? Aunt Entropy (talk) 20:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no clue. VIllage Pump or Help Desk might know. ThuranX (talk) 20:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Warning

Please don't continue to breach WP:NPA and WP:CIVIL at the discussion on the block of Traditional Unionist at ANI. Referring to other editors as "terroristic" is totally unacceptable and any repeat will result in sanctions being taken against you. Regards Sarah777 (talk) 00:44, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Nice ambiguous use of the apostrophe there. I never referred to the editors as terroristic, but to the idiotic content dispute. They've (Numerous editors) expanded the stupid irish conflict here to Misplaced Pages. It's asinine, and it should be locked down hard. Unfortunately, too many editors and admins have chosen sides, many long before WP ever hit a server, and they push it here. It's disgusting to give any bytes to soapboxing for folks supporting either side of that shit. Those two gamed 3RR, and they're being rewarded for it. It's plain and simple to see that. ThuranX (talk) 04:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

These comments/summaries were past civil. Please improve your behavior, or your account access will be blocked. --Elonka 22:52, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Bullshit, he insulted me for giving input, suggesting I'm some how an involved editor. Snide replies aren't needed. You had better be putting a civility warning on his page too. Further, get another admin from now on, given how many AN/I thread I'm on the opposite side of the fence from you at. ThuranX (talk) 22:55, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Tony Stark dated Vicki Vale?

Like heck.. :o) and if he did do you think DC noticed? Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:16, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
