Lost in Space

Hey! Thanks for the note. And no, thank you, thank you! I was just thrilled that there was a person starting these episode articles for season 9. I hope you create more articles for season 9 episodes actually. We need them. And you and I can edit them together. ;) Thus far, thanks to you, we now have at least the one, so good work!

Apologies on the past tense/present tense issue. I used past tense just because the event isn't currently happening and is now a past occurrence. In my college journalism program, I was taught that if an event is not presently happening and is in the past, you always write in past tense. But, I assume you reference a specialized Misplaced Pages policy when you say present tense is the rule, correct? So yea, my apologies! Also, yea, I suppose my dating was a bit extraneous as well. I will say, however, that I stand by my "story arc" edit as it clarified in formal terms that the episode was apart of a continuation plot. In addition, I don't agree with placement of the "precursor recap" in the lead. As according to Misplaced Pages policy, leads are supposed to briefly touch upon items and not go into detail. That recap is to detailed for a lead and belongs back where it was in my humble opinion. And it flows into the plot nicely.

I can agree with you as to my edit about Jeff not showing up on the following episode not belonging in the plot section. But I thought it was worth mentioning at least somewhere, but if you don't think so, it's no biggie. AmericanDad86 (talk) 22:12, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. I'm indeed quoting a guideline for the plot tense (WP:MOSWAF#Contextual_presentation). I think the recap should be placed in the plot, albeit slightly shortened. I think I will start working on a page for Naked to the Limit, One More Time as that episode ties into Lost in Space and another would help explain Lost in Space better.

Ahhh, yezzzz! It seemzzz you are right Beerest, it seemz you are right. :D My apologies on the past tense revisions. Man oh man, a lot of Misplaced Pages policies contradict stuff you're taught in school. Anyways, YAY! I can't wait for you to create The Naked to the Limit, One More Time article. I look forward to being of any help I can. And from the vibe I get from you, I like your editing style and sense I'm going to enjoy working on episode articles with you. Do you like how I'm assuming you're going to start out a bunch of articles for American Dad 9th season episodes by the way?! lol! :P Btw, you must start one for Da Flippity Flo. That was one of my favorite episodes. :D AmericanDad86 (talk) 22:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Get out of town! You seriously completed all that within a few hours of my request?! I was expecting more of a "Maybe sometime in the future if I have a chance." :D And not only that but a job well done/well written at that. You, sir, get a big fat barnstar for that one. And take that with pride as I never give out barnstars. Never! Before now, I had yet to come across anyone I felt truly deserving of one.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cortright, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cartwright (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
