No bother whatsoever

The MO of that anon vandal seems similar to Bambifan, but that IP resolves to Michigan. Bambi does the majority of his nonsense from Alabama. However, if you even so much as think you smell this guy, please let me know. His destruction and damage is nearly incaluculable. Thanks for letting me know and believe me, asking about something like this is not a bother.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

• You bet; it was a pleasure hearing from you. You may find this page helpful in regards to Bambifan. The precious little darling has his very own long-term abuse page. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Crossover of a sort

To all my talk page watchers who are also Dr Who watchers. I thought I would post this here rather than on each of your pages. Tonight's episode has been anticipated by those of use who also enjoyed Farscape as Ben Browder has a guest role. Not a true crossover since he won't be playing John Crichton but it should be fun anyway. If you could wave a wand what other crossover would you like to see? One of mine is to see an episode of Futurama that features the characters from Red Dwarf. Just think of the possibilities Lister and Fry, the Cat and Zoidberg, Kryten and Bender the mind boggles (or reels back in horror heehee) oh and Rimmer and Zap Branigan. Well I know those of you across the pond get the ep in a couple hours while the rest of us have a full Saturday to fill so Cheers to you all. MarnetteD | Talk 16:29, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Wow turns out the bigger crossover is with the spaghetti westerns (especially Leone's) that I've been watching for over 40 years. MarnetteD | Talk 02:43, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

If only headline writers knew

Headline in my paper today that means something different to some of us.

DOCTOR WHO RENTED DOLLAR CAR AT DIA SUES

The article doesn't mention which Doctor or what happened to his Tardis but we can't have everything. MarnetteD | Talk 14:47, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

It is not our job to promote what is Notable, it is to dissipate information. Please let the changes be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.205.249.72 (talk) 15:37, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

You obviously haven't read read WP:NOTABILITY because it is our job to limit are article to same. You should also read WP:RS as you have yet to provide one to back up the claim that he was an economist. Oscar Wilde certainly doesn't mention it. MarnetteD | Talk 15:41, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

No I haven't and I'm really sorry about that. My word against any other. I've never read any Oscar Wilde so I can't say anything. All I know is that if a guy knows the concepts of labor division and is smart enough to point out the weakness in an accepted economic model- and with some math - he qualifies as an economist. Are we good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.205.248.61 (talk) 14:08, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

What is an economist? One who studies the production and consumption of goods and services.

What are Ruskin's ideas? When the accepted theory focused on efficient production through profit seeking, which includes incentives to work harder, Ruskin felt that this was incomplete. Now you may say he was drawing heavily from some abstract known as Jesus of Nazareth, but inadvertently he proposed a fine solution to contracts of labor.

In harsher words, there is but one trivial and best solution to bargaining, such that it produces maximum benefit. This solution is one that allows the employer and the employee to produce goods with maximum "social affection", in Ruskin's terminology. It is commonly known as reciprocity.

Ruskin also formalizes the stakeholding capacity of labor, this may be construed as being Socialist, but we know that Ruskin preceded communism.I don't know whether the movements in France and the States had an influence on him, but he must be given credit for not maligning or breeding mistrust against those who owned rights, Land and Capital, while bringing home the point. He, in fact, was a champion of the Leader, as an individual, who holds together his people.

This reveals a very balanced mind, apolitical, and that to me is one criterion to being a researcher.

His criticism of traditional economic theory based on utility and welfare is simple as he is skeptical of the use of mathematical expressions that justify consumption as a reason for existence. This may push him into philosophy, but he is careful in letting us know that Economics is also about Production,Quality and Ethics.

If you want more, I'll have to read his stuff again, and I don't feel like doing that right now. I'm a little tied up, literally...:)

Does this mean you'll revert your revert on my revert, or should I do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.207.154.224 (talk) 06:02, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Ruskin was much more than just an economist and his work in that area is already mentioned at other spots in the article. You also need to learn how things work on Misplaced Pages. Please read WP:CONSENSUS. You will find that you need to take your concerns to the talk page of the article to try and change the current consensus on how the article is laid out.

Editing the First Paragraph of an Article

Hi. I need a little help here. I am trying to edit the Leontyne Price article. But it appears to be too large to edit the first paragraph. How do I go about doing that? I want to add her Spingarn Medal. Thanks - Michael David (talk) 18:38, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hmm that is odd. I'm not sure why it wouldn't let you edit. I know so little about computers that it could be any number of things. If it is an ongoing problem you might ask at the Misplaced Pages:Village pump (technical). In the meantime I went ahead and added it to fifth paragraph in the lede in chrono order with the other awards mentioned. You are certainly free to add or change it as you wish. Sorry I didn't have a better answer. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 18:55, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your help with adding the medal to her article. I am going to check the Village Pump to see if I can find out what the problem I'm having is. - Michael David (talk) 19:34, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

An Age of Kings

Hey, I thought you might be interested to know that I've done a complete overhaul of Shakespeare: The Animated Tales (added an infobox, tidied up formatting etc) and also (finally) created a page for An Age of Kings. There's not a huge amount of info on it, mainly just cast lists with some minimal background stuff, but at least the page exists. The Hollow Crown also needs some work when I can get around to it, and of course, I'm still working on my Shakespeare on film and Shakespeare on TV articles. All the best. Bertaut (talk) 15:18, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Downton, sigh

M, the "it's not American!" brigade are back at it on the Downton Abbey article. We're going to need to keep an eye on it; there's a rather aggressive IP describing the addition of /American as misrepresentation. It also brings up a larger issue -- how many other similar BBC/PBS or ITV/PBS co-productions are not correctly labeled as British/American. I never wanted to take on the avid strain of British nationalism that appears at such times, so I've never attempted to change many (I tried with Robin Hood, which was a BBC/BBC American co-production when it started and am still nursing the wounds). But maybe it's time. --Drmargi (talk) 14:09, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

I just got online and saw what you are talking about. Oddly, it is someone from Maryland who is refusing to note the reference. I would think that as long as we have solid refs we are on solid ground in making our case. I wonder if they realize that in this day and age of tight budgets many of these shows wouldn't get made without the money from US PBS stations. MarnetteD | Talk 14:13, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

You're right about the IP being from MD; I meant to mention that. But it's largely hit-and-run IP's making the reverts. They don't get that they don't get to make a judgment on what is/isn't a co-production. Rebecca Eaton. WGBH, and PBS are part of the production, decision-making, funding, you name it. That makes it British/American, as the sources support. --Drmargi (talk) 15:52, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

BRD project

Hi Marnette, I have outlined a proposal for a potential project that you might be interested in at User:Betty Logan/BRD enforcer. The essence of it is a peer review system in relation to challenged unilateral edits. If you are not interested then no worries, it won't be for everyone, I'm just testing the waters at this stage to see how much interest there would be in such a co-ordinated task force.

MMP sockpuppetry

Hi, I have opened an investigation at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/The scoop11. Please remember it is important to warn disruptive editors appropriately, and report when necessary in order to stop the disruption. We might request page protection on the article Mad Monster Party rather than pile on in an edit war. Elizium23 (talk) 13:03, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi again and thanks for filing the report. I am sure that you will have noticed that I added a request about the info to this persons talk page about the info that they keep trying to force into the article. That was last night before I headed to meet the sandman. I was hoping that would at least bring them to the talk page. Sadly, I see that it hasn't so I have issued a warning this morning. If you are so inclined you might add a comment to the thread that I started. Thanks again for your vigilance. MarnetteD | Talk 15:30, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

The old buzzard has a problem

Thank you to both for your good wishes. Having pleasant weather here and enjoying the autumn sunshine. Perhaps, when you return to editing you would be kind enough to look at this for me. The editor is insisting on keeping an article discussion – which he started on my Talk page – off the article's Talk page. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones/The Welsh Buzzard 18:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

IMO you are quite right to keep the discussion on the talk page. Although a fractious one WikiP is supposed to be a community and the work towards consensus should involve everyone that is interested in a given subject. I have seen that kind of discussion moved to the talk page all the time so there is a precedence for your action. Hope this is of some help. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 20:14, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

JEJ Lede

Hello MarnetteD - I don't know if you've seen the talk page discussion today regarding expanding the lede on James Earl Jones, but it might be of interest to you. While I don't object to a more comprehensive lede, the editor seems to insist that Darth Vader occupy a prominent place there, which I regard as problematic. Your thoughts on this would be valuable. regards, Sensei48 (talk) 06:49, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

CottonClark and my AIV report

Hey MarnetteD, I got your message. CottonClark seems to have stopped editing, at least for now. If they start up again doing the same thing then perhaps the AIV report will be more successful. Taking things to ANI is rarely worth the effort but if the problem persists then I will go there. It's such odd edits from this person, combining text from an article about a radio station with that of an article about a children's program. I've been around this block a few times but I honestly can't tell if this is straight up vandalism or just gross incompetence. Oh well, I've got my eye on them so we'll see. See ya' around!

James Earl Jones

Hi Marnette. I considered rolling back this edit, assuming good faith, but I thought it would be better to ask you about it. I agree that it's a little strange that James Earl Jones had an infobox designed for comedians, but looking at that version of the article, it accurately presented a list of awards he's received. Thinking primarily of a reader's experience, it's hard to see how this template, though apparently inaccurate from an editor's point of view, detracts from the article's quality. I also looked for the MOS section on actors that you referred to, but I couldn't find one. I'm sure this is just a mistake on my part, and perhaps the section in question discourages such infoboxes of awards. Could you point me in that direction? Thanks, BDD (talk) 20:08, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi thanks for your note. Several years ago - in fact I think it was before the actors project was split from the film project - consensus was reached to not have awards in the infobox. First and foremost it was a POV problem. Oscars, and Emmys may be better known but they aren't necessarily more important that Tonys, Baftas, SAGs and the numerous others. The other main problem is infobox bloat - for example can you imagine how stuffed Meryl Streep infobox of this sort would be - it would probably longer than her whole article. It was deemed that these were better handled in a separate awards section within the article or even a stand alone article as Ms Streep has for her awards. Now as I say this was several years ago and if you think it should be reassessed you might want to open discussions at the actor project or even the BLP project to see what new editors think. I hope this answers some of your questions and my apologies if it doesn't. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 21:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. I don't know if I agree with that decision. I think presenting awards without cluttering a page is a stylistic issue with straightforward solutions; see Anson Dorrance as an example of a sports figure with decades of major awards. On the other hand, the current presentation of awards for films and actors, in wikitables towards the bottom of the article, seems fine as well. At any rate, your edit was probably the right thing to do. Thanks again for the explanation. --BDD (talk) 23:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply Sports figures are handled by a different wikiproject so I can't speak to their standards. The page you linked to only mentions the awards in the infobox so that makes sense. Almost every actor has a separate awards section in the body of the article i.e. James Earl Jones#Awards so the infobox is redundant. Also there are a great many more awards for actors. At one point we had about 25 different ones in the infobox template. I can understand your concerns so please feel free to start a discussion about them if you are so inclined. Thanks for the work that you do here at WikiP. Happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 01:26, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Parent cats on film articles

Hi. The parent cat of American film (or whatever country), is OK to have on all film articles. Please see WP:FILMCAT and this discussion that links to WP:DUPCAT. Thanks. Lugnuts 08:21, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I was editing on old info. Please let me know if you catch anything else as I work my way through the silent films and thanks, also, for all your work in creating them. MarnetteD | Talk 12:54, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

This has caused confusion before, and I can recall having to explain to novice editors that, in this case, the parent cat has to remain, even if subcats are also present. Said users almost invariably asked why, and pointed out that this seems to violate the general rule about parent cats and subcats. It's good to have a link to point them to. Cheers! ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 16:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Chinatown

I just saw your reversion here, and it fits a pattern I noticed over at the Mean Streets article: Jjjakegittes's edits are nearly identical to those of Jkta97. I think it is clear that they are the same person. This is not necessarily a problem, as Jkta seems to have stopped editing after receiving a long series of warnings for unhelpful edits, and he is not blocked, so there is no block evasion issue. It is dishonest, though, to create a new account and go right back to making the same problematic edits one made with a different name. Clearly, the message has not sunk in. This does merit our attention, though.

I hope this message finds you well. Cheers! ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 15:17, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, MarnetteD! After discovering 76.15.47.22 (talk · contribs) I have moved the VCV subpage to LTA.

He's not getting any better, which sucks for us. Moving more heavily to "uncredited" roles, like Alec Baldwin as "Adult Rocky/Narrator".

Broadway Hoaxer?

Take a look at the edits of User:116.124.69.188 to Wicked (musical). Although it's a domain that the BH has never used, the edit certainly seems similar, as is ignoring my post om their talk page. The IP geolocates to South Korea, I think I remember reading something about socks using an anonymizer from there. What do you think? Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:10, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

The one thing that seems a bit different to me is that most of the edits are about specific cast members of the musicals edited. That is as opposed to fabricating whole new musicals that aren't even a gleam in the eye of any producers. But remember that I have only been aware of BH for the last few months so if s/he has edited like this before than you should discount my observation. If any of the edits are legit they should certainly be able to provide a source for them. Cheers and enjoy your weekend. MarnetteD | Talk 03:41, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I looked very hard for any confirmation and could find nothing. Their other recent edits don't look at all like the BH, though, so I'm jkst not sure. Beyond My Ken (talk) 03:59, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
