Amazing Race Misplaced Pages Starts!
Hello, Shappy. This is a reminder that Amazing Race Misplaced Pages will start very soon. At 00.00 (or whereabouts), our host Firestorm will place the first Detour on your submissions page. Again, the Detour is a choice between two tasks; both members of the team choose one task and work together to complete it. A Roadblock is a task only one team member must perform; he/she may not have any help from the other team member. Good luck and enjoy the Race! :-) Shappy (talk · contribs) and Firestorm (talk · contribs) --EdwardsBot (talk) 13:34, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

- Where's the submissions page and the rules, etc.? I'm confused by the contest so you might just have to take whatever content I produce :p Gary King (talk) 21:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Doing a featured list would probably be easier then. I have been working on List of The Legend of Zelda games on and off if you want to take a stab at it. Gary King (talk) 21:39, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- List of Metroid media, which was an FL that I worked on. Gary King (talk) 21:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK for The Finale (Will & Grace)

On July 5, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Finale (Will & Grace), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) 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. |

WP:OVERUSE is useful, but it's a bit out of date now - I keep meaning to update it myself with some of the more useful debates that have taken place recently. Still, it's a good place to start. Black Kite 21:15, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
Funeral of Michael Jackson
I reverted your deletion of the Quincy Jones & Elizabeth Taylor references because their non-attendance (especially Liz's) has been reported by numerous sources; in that case it was more appropriate to add "fact" tags (since I don't have time to look them up myself). I was doing that along with adding hidden text to deter (though it certainly won't prevent) further unsourced additions to the official guest list (I had already removed Madonna & Beyoncé); your deletion caused an edit collision, so I had to re-edit the section and copy & paste my text. --RBBrittain (talk) 11:34, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks so much :). Your kind comments are truly appreciated. — CRAZY`(lN)`SANE (talk • contribs) 22:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- In addition, I see you're an administrator hopeful? Is that still true? I see you'd already requested and would have succeeded had you not withdrawn? Sorry to hear you chose to withdraw, after reviewing your contribs I can easily see you would have made an excellent admin. — CRAZY`(lN)`SANE (talk • contribs) 22:29, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
removing csd tags on articles not created by you
Regarding your question here yes, you absolutely are allowed to do that. Numerous users (myself included) have tried to point out mistaken CSD tags to this user recently, but he apparently refuses to discuss the matter or review the CSD criteria. Beeblebrox (talk) 03:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Toothing
Please don't add back the Webster's Quotations reference. Icon Group International produces computer-generated books mostly based on Misplaced Pages - they're junk. See Philip_M._Parker#Automatically_generated_books. Fences&Windows 20:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Apology & remaining concern
You are right; I was mistaken. You undertook a short discussion on the subject. Try Talk:Fascism or Talk:Sarah Palin if you laboring under the mistaken impression that the discussion on Blastoise is a thorough discussion. The former especially is a good example of how to categorize a compromise wording; unfortunately it seems that the Blastoise discussion is bogged down over the much more basic aesthetic of notability, and subverted by AfD and reverts; looking at the pros isn't going to help much if the basics aren't mastered.

WikiCup participates in the Misplaced Pages:The Great Misplaced Pages Dramaout
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Misplaced Pages Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Misplaced Pages's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :) iMatthew at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
On the road again
I'll be going away on Sunday for 3-4 weeks. Could you please keep an eye on my current Simpsons GAC noms? Also, I'm supposed to be working on some articles for the season 3 topic drive (although I haven't started work on any of them). If you want to work on those articles, you can just take my name off and do it. I don't know why we have so many drives (one for each season) going, it kind of defeats the purpose of an organised drive (the purpose being to pool our abilities and make a concentrated effort) to suddenly have a dozen drives. Anyway, have fun. -- Scorpion 17:19, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:NODRAMA reminder
Thanks for signing up for the Great Misplaced Pages Dramaout. Misplaced Pages stands to benefit from the improvements in the article space as a result of this campaign. This is a double reminder.

List of national parks of Sweden
Hi, just wanted to let you know that the above FL needs alternative text for its images. Normally, I'd do it myself, but you probably know the images better than I do. Cheers, Dabomb87 (talk) 16:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for making WP:NODRAMA a success!
Thank you again for your support of the Great Misplaced Pages Dramaout.

Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status. You may find the following links helpful in nominating your work:
- T:TDYK for Did You Know nominations
- WP:GAC for Good Article nominations
- WP:FAC for Featured Article nominations
- WP:FLC for Featured List nominations
- WP:FPC for Featured Picture nominations
Again, thank you for making this event a success! --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 02:11, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Boy-Scoutz n the Hood
About that, that is not original research. Original research is making up your own theory or statement for what happened, or what might of or could of happened, or interpriting something that could be put out of context and making your idea of what happened a fact. What I put in the cultural refrences is not original research at all, the title "Boy-Scoutz n the Hood" is similar to "Boyz n the Hood" and is therefore a play of the title, all the way down to the spelling, capitalization and pronouncation. And also, not to sound rude or anything but most Simpsons Episode articles contain something relating the episode title to be a play on an existing title, again not to sound rude or anything. Also I disagree with it needing a source as the producers, writers, directors or any staff members of The Simpsons intend it to be a play on a title. Anyways, hope you understand. Thanks. --Taylor Karras (talk) 04:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
Bovine University
Okay, so I know I promised seven years ago to copyedit Lisa the Vegetarian and then I dropped off the face of the earth. I apologize many, many times. What's the status of that now? Would you still like me to have a look? Scartol • Tok 14:15, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- I'll do it this weekend. If for some reason you haven't heard from me by Monday, then gimme a holler because it means I've been up in my rooftop garden watching drive-in movies for free. Scartol • Tok 23:10, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, look — I finally finished my copyedit. It didn't take long, because you've done some great work there! I left some questions on the talk page. Lemme know if you have any questions, and please gimme a holler when it goes to FAC. Cheers! Scartol • Tok 14:11, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
Simpsons infobox images

Greetings
Greetings from New Brunswick. Thanks for fixing the issue with File:University Cup.JPG, although I did avoid uploading it to commons for a reason. -- Scorpion 13:24, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
- I would be if the weather would co-operate. At least I`m back in a province where English is the primary language (as opposed to Quebec, where my very basic French was ridiculed quite a bit). I might be on again tomorrow, but then I most likely won`t have any internet access for the remaining time. Please keep an eye on the season 21 page as there is some comic con info coming out (it also helps to do a google search every few days. I do a google news search for "The Simpsons" and you sometimes find some pretty helpful stuff). -- Scorpion 13:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
