Re: the template is go.

Hey bro, thanks for keeping me up on the template :) ... => Harish101 00:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:RFAR

Normally I'd reply in my own user space, but I'll make an exception. Sysops have no special standing to offer opinions about proposed arbitration cases. Try not to parrot a pure me too, but if you've got an observation that hasn't already been expressed then go ahead and voice it. Durova 19:24, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Aquaman

Thanks for kind words. I was actually still building the PH when you posted on my talk page, to get all six freaking volumes in! It's a sickness. I'm addicted to editing.

RE: "I don't think my sarcasm was too much" — I'd have to agree with you that as sarcasm goes, it was very mild. I'm just not sure that any sarcasm helps, since the recipient is going to get irritated by it — that's part of the whole point of being sarcastic. Don't get me wrong; I think CmdrClow was wrong in splitting the article sans consensus, but I think it was honest mistake. I could be wrong, but I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt.

As I've said before, it's good working with an articulate and reasonable soul like yourself! --Tenebrae 05:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

The Dark Knight

I noticed you just reverted an edit I did in The Dark Knight article. I have been a Chicago journalist since 2000. I have been reporting accurately on The Dark Knight since day one of filming. I can point you to hundreds of news articles around the Web from other legitimate publications that have referenced my reports. My news thread on The Dark Knight here has a good deal of verifiable information that is not in the Misplaced Pages article for the film. What is the best way for me to include this information such that I meet Misplaced Pages's policies? --AdamFendelman 06:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Don't cite your own website. Please read WP:COI and WP:SPAM. - Jehochman 06:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Annie

I ThuranX. Seeing your edit to Annie's userpage, can I suggest your recommendation go at the bottom of her page? I just think that someone who isn't responding to normal edits at the bottom of someone's page (like I am now) may be less likely to respond to something continued on in another topic. It simply doesn't seem to occur to her that people would like to talk to her, maybe she isn't even scrolling down having seen the "new messages bar".martianlostinspace 21:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Not that it's necessarily a better idea, but it's a very difficult situation: she simply isn't responding in a way many good faith editors would.martianlostinspace 08:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Ex Machina

Please note that the modifications I made to the Ex Machina (comics) article are not limited to removing unnecessary items from the Timeline section. The timeline does not need to include every incident that Vaughan has chosen to portray; rather, it should contain a) important events in Mitchell's life, b) events pertaining to Mitchell's powers and other superhero-related stuff (thus, Automaton), and c) events pertaining to real-world phenomena that have their own articles.

I have reverted your reversion; please consult with me if you still disagree. Thank you. DS 22:30, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

History of Rush

Somebody else has already removed the template, but that seems fine, since the contradiction has been resolved. :) It looks good! --Moonriddengirl 12:06, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Open wiki

I'm usually right there with you on most things. Misplaced Pages:External links says open wikis are to be avoided except in very narrow circumstances that would certainly require consensus agreement among editors. I'm not saying this particular wiki doesn't meet those criteria, but we have no consensus that it does. --Tenebrae 16:25, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: this AN/I thread.

Yes I saw that and there is no need to point this user to WP:HARRASS for feeling a little offended and over eagerly reacting to the situation (that would be a little ABF-ish). I believe the response I gave will assure this user that the situation does not require administrative attention and there is no need to continue to post on the talk page or discuss the somewhat incivil comment.¤~Persian Poet Gal 23:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

The Punisher

Ah ok, sorry about that. I should of checked the talk page before I moved it but for some reason I didn't this time and just acted as I saw it was named that. Silver Sonic Shadow 23:28, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I've arranged for him to take a vacation. Nobody should have to put up with crap like this. Sorry you had to experience such things. Raymond Arritt 03:17, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Iron Man

Here's your citation you wanted for the Iron Man film wiki. In case you didn't know the Air Force does in fact have many land troops.

Punisher 2

I have reverted your move of the article. The title you moved it to is only a working title for pre-production, not the intended release title. Until we have citation that it, or another title, is the release title, please leave it at Punisher 2. Articles about the movie continue to call it Punisher 2, and while there are statements that it represents a third incarnation, unconnected to the 2004 film, that's changed before, as has the working title, which was briefly called Welcome Home, Frank, as a working title. As details continue to change, it makes no sense to continue to move the page, update all links, and on and on. Thank you. ThuranX 13:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies! It seems I wasn't the only one. I'll be more efficient in the future. --Soetermans 20:26, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, is this the only source for the working title? The "source" is Diva, which doesn't sound too authentic. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:24, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, explain to me again how to use the move feature. I could've sworn that once an article was moved and edited thereafter, it couldn't be moved back. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:35, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

noe, you jsut hit 'move', add a new, or old, title, and put it back. if someone were to edit the OLD page, for example, if someone moved off The Punisher 2 to TP:WZ, and then went back and edited TP2, it would be more difficult, but jsut 'reverting' over a redirect is easy. I've had to do it multiple times, and have done it again. Until there's a citation that War Zone is the legit title, I want to keep it at TP2, although a move to 'Untitled Punisher Film' would work as well. ThuranX 22:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Official site seems a little hard to dispute, even with their previous snafu. How long was Welcome Back, Frank on the publicity page? Also, I was reminiscing and reading this and was wondering where Ace got to. Any idea? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

He's not on much anymore. He got tired and worn down wit hthe project, I can't blame him. I'm tired too some days. given the multile supports for TP:WZ, with the official site as citation, i'll go move it. ThuranX 20:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I've had my days, too. I think I edit a little more leisurely nowadays, especially after Spider-Man 3 feeling like a waste of time after seeing the film and not being too thrilled with it. I don't check my RSS feeds and Google Alerts, so Alientraveller's usually able to beat me to the punch for superhero films. I tend to science fiction films more, though... just created Franklyn today. I'm trying my damnedest to finish off Fight Club (film) -- there's an insane amount of academic studies for it, and I'd like to set a new precedent to show that a film's themes (intended and unintended) can be explored. As for future films, WP:NF makes merging easier -- still have an agenda here, though. I've actually been able to ask nicely a couple of times for merging, like here, and for Spawn 2. Hopefully, I'll be able to enter the non-film foray with my revision of Watchmen, which is on hold due to school. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Well, all that work was completely fucking pointless. It's now a giant mess. I wish people would just learn how to do things right. that jerk knows how to do it, he did it before, but he rushed, and fouled it all up. I"m gonna let HIM sort this crap out. ThuranX 20:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
well i have my own fair share of trash talking same as you, but its pointless and uneducated way to address an issue †Bloodpack† 21:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
SO was your entire attitude, Cutting and Pastign to make a point in stead of doing things right. ThuranX 22:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Meh, sorry to see that ugly business you had to deal with regarding the page move... hopefully, the studio can flat-out confirm a title, especially this one, as to avoid any more moves. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:59, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Hulk (comics)

You might want to poke your head in, on the talk page and article. That's all I can fairly say. --Tenebrae 16:48, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

It's the law

Re the AN/I discussion surely by now you've run across Carbonite's law. Raymond Arritt 05:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for the chuckle: Delete. I get so tired of deleting all these recreations by all these Creepy Crawler/EJBanks/BatmanFan etc. sockpuppets. Why can't something be done about him? Wryspy 23:00, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Your reply: SALT & Eject into space. Wryspy, because murder is a crime, and ignorance and assholery aren't. LOL.

FYI: When we report him as Creepy Crawler, though, we tend to the get the reply that records don't go far enough back. When pointing out a CC sock (and this sure won't be the last time), direct whichever admin evaluates the report to the chain of CC socks listed at User_talk:EJBanks#Confirmed_sockpuppets.

Re: ANI

Oops, I thought it was stating that he had just been blocked, rather than saying he should be. My apologies, I've rv'd. Wizardman 02:24, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

It's probably best that someone else handle it, I think. Wizardman 02:35, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Captain America

Wiki articles should be written for the general reader. That's a guideline. Not everyone knows what the Avengers are in the context of Marvel Comics, so stating the obvious is often quite necessary in articles, especially the lead section. WesleyDodds 03:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't revert a second time. ThuranX 03:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I know, just explaining my rationale. WesleyDodds 03:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Animated DC Films

I understand that some of the animated films are on the DCAU template, but when compared to the Marvel films template which includes animated films, the DC one seems incomplete. There's more than just the DCAU films too. The Teen Titans one, The Batman vs. Dracula, and the 3 new ones as well. I have not seen a complete DC animated template. So maybe we can discuss it rather than remove it? Thanks in advance man, and good job on these articles. God bless.RoryS89 14:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)RoryS89

I thoought of a separate template. If you like the idea, I'll make it. Thanks for the advice man. I pray I'll get the details figured out okay on some of the series, as many seem related yet aren't (the three new animated films for example), but I think I have all of it covered. What about the inclusion of in-production films, like this animated one I've heard of that bridges Batman Begins and The Dark Knight?RoryS89 17:00, 29 September 2007 (UTC)RoryS89
I set the template up a few hours ago. Well the animated Nolan one has no page yet, but it has a premise. It's 6 short stories set in between film 1 and 2 and set in that Batman world. And it's an anime. And I left the three new DC films that are based on Superman, the Justice League, and the Teen Titans respectively, as single films. While the Superman one is produced by Bruce Timm and has similar animation styles, they say it is non-DCAU. As for Justice League, it has a different GL and Flash, so it is definitely separate. I don't know about Teen Titans. Since the Superman one is out and the other two will probably come out some time between Christmas and February/March, they all have pages. But apparently this new Batman movie and an upcoming animated Wonder Woman flick are all part of these new DC animated movies, though they have yet to receive pages of their own.RoryS89 21:25, 29 September 2007 (UTC)RoryS89

Getting started

I've just read your note which is no doubt relating to my editing of an entry written some time ago about myself. I should explain that the entry only came to my attention after it was pointed out by a collegue in work (BBC) that it existed but was slightly incorrect. This did not bother me, but some offensive vandalism I discovered a few weeks back did! So I took the liberty of changing the page back to how it was and updating/beefing up the information given while i was there. There is now a NPOV on the page which is understandable but slightly unfair - can this be removed? It's certainly a neutral, factual article, in the style of the initial article. Also, as a typically lazy journalist who uses Misplaced Pages all the time, I feel I should make the effort to contribute, something I would enjoy anyway. Can you link me to the most concise beginners guide to regular contribution? I could specialize in the people and places of Northern Ireland, specifically relating to it's music and arts (and also a little sport). There are certainly some glaring omissions at the moment I would enjoy writing about (and I promise it's not anything i'm involved with!!) Kind regards. Rigsy

Personal attack

I highlight what I take to be the personal attacks in what you wrote :"His only non-user talk edit today seems to be this, which reads like that autogenerated screed text... I forget the website it's on, but there's a site that let's you put in a few nouns and select a 'point' and length, and it autogenerates the argumentative letter using lots of 3 cent words and hyperbole. If so, then he's trolling from the get-go. If not, then he's REALLLLY off in his own world, and he'll no doubt set off all the alarms and warnings, resulting in another long block soon enough. ThuranX 01:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)" EffK 08:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

And, for your benefit, I show this: The WP Troll article says/said :"Intentionally posting an outrageous argument, deliberately constructed around a fundamental but obfuscated flaw or error. Often the poster will become defensive when the argument is refuted, and may continue the thread through the use of further flawed arguments; this is referred to as "feeding" the troll." Your basing yourself upon the Arbcom decision may excuse you technically from the personal attack, but the fact that the Arbcom ignored the 3rd party verification of my position simply shifts the burden of wrong to Arbcom. the 3rd party attempted to reveal to Arbcom that the "deliberately constructed.. fundamental..obfuscated flaw or error" was not mine. As I believe in Misplaced Pages and other social principles, the injustice made by ignoring such verification and witness cannot be left un-done. If you really, after reading the 3rd party, whose statements I have posted to my user page, continue to believe in the Arbcom justice as voted, then I suggest you immediately call for Arbcom to deal with the injustice or justice, such that my supposed trolling be confirmed as trolling, with all the consequences. I would however suggest that upon seeing the 3rd party report, that you join with the sense of justice inherent to that witness, and rather apply to Arbcom for a complete revision of its earlier convictions made against me. Personally I can say that the open-season upon me, exemplified by your intervention, and the lifelong bans, make of my effort towards ever having contributed to this Project, a punishment. As ever I have to note that generally the digital situation is that all edits are immortal, and that nothing that contradicts social norms is other than evidential, whether in WP or without. I, as anyone may, reserve the general right to re-produce all actions outside of Misplaced Pages , under fair use. Good day, EffK 13:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

HollywoodChicago

What will it take to blacklist the site and purge Misplaced Pages of the promotional Adam Fendelman and HollywoodChicago.com? —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I've placed the report on my watchlist, and depending on how the report develops, we'll take further steps. I'm tired of this person's lack of journalistic integrity. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Site owner has removed the proposed deletion template from his site, so I've put it up for deletion to set the consensus for its removal. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Fantastic Four film series

Hey man, I didn't know who else to discuss this with but not long ago, I did a lot of work to this article and I was wondering how much of an improvement it is considered to be. Just wanna see if I haven't done all this for nothing, and what could be improved. Hope to hear from you. Take it easy. -- Harish - 10:22, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, man. Appreciate the feedback. I'll work on some of the suggested points here and there over the coming few days. -- Harish - 21:38, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey man, I had time to work on this article, but I was a little unsure of what you meant when you stated "The two films' summaries need to be cleaned up for tone as well; both contain run-on sentences with multiple dependent clauses despte a lack of commas and punctuation.". Would you clarify that, please? -- Harish - 20:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
Just seen you did it yourself, very nice job. -- Harish - 20:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Hulk

I understand, but in the cite you deleted Arad referred to the film as a "do-over". I must have forgotten to remove it as time went on and the Penn interview came up. Alientraveller 18:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I mean, the film is a sequel, but it is very different. I'm not sure if you've read the script reviews, but the film really follows Hulk, but it is radically different in two elements. Overall I prefer to keep the two seperate for now, because overall this new Hulk film is really part two in Marvel Studios' attempt to create a Avengers franchise. Alientraveller 20:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I know it's a requel. I've been putting a lot of care into the article: I think it's fantastic a Hulk fan like me is getting two unique takes on the same character within a few years. You're doing well with that rewrite. Just a note that in the Evolution of the Hulk featurette on the 2003 DVD, Stan Lee said Jekyll/Hyde and Frankenstein's monster were the inspirations for the Hulk. Alientraveller 20:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Notice.

Bus stop has recently requested an unblock on his user talk page. In this request, he brings up the Who is a Jew? article, arguing that even though he was opposed on the page, his ideas were implemented earlier. He argues in part that he should be unblocked as his ideas were, in the end, positive contributions. Now, I have the article on my watchlist, but I don't really follow it, so I really have no idea if this is the case. However, I feel that it may be good to notify someone who might, because in all honesty, I've seen this user present cases in a skewed manner before, and if this isn't true, I'd certainly hope that someone would speak up about it.

On another note, he appears to end the request with a plea to a new attitude. As much as I'd like to believe this, the rest of the comment seems to show that he's still rather hung up on the whole thing.--C.Logan 07:15, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Scratch that; it appears his request was flatly declined. Just thought you should know, anyway.--C.Logan 09:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I did put a redirect on the top dab before you changed it.

Heroes Infobox template

I cannot seem to find the actual infobox structure that shows the font colorings of the Heroes template. Do you know where it is?
