Misplaced Pages

William Rollo

Thanks for the info and link on Will Rollo. Sadly, it came as absolutely no surprise. Welcome to Misplaced Pages, Jim. Cheers> Sarah Ewart (Talk) 20:02, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the vandalism to the Will Rollo page, Jim. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 18:31, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Does Julian (pornographic actor) edit Misplaced Pages as Jkelly?

I hadn't noticed. I wonder why they assumed I'd be the husband. I must not be doing a lot of vandal fighting these days, as I'd kind of forgotten that vandals ever take it personally. Speaking of which, thanks for the vandal fighting you're doing. Jkelly 22:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments going at the bottom

Wouldn't a new comment go at the top, so they could see what's new? Or is it organized by chronological order? Aazn 19:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC).

Marysville-Pilchuck High School

I agree with what you say but actually the entry looked like a pass time of a child. Well - lets see if he can improve his efforts in the future. My intentions were never malafide. Thnaks any way. --Marwatt 01:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Niwot High School

I understand what you were saying, just realize I was actually improving the article. When I first saw it, there was a lot of falsified information and needless complaints (with poor grammar). I edited these comments out, and then someone added their reply to my actions. The last few paragraphs were my response as to why I deleted many of their comments. I'll try to improve what I can, but I don't expect them to go untainted. Thanks for checking up on it. Settle

Heinlein

Hey, Jim, nice to talk to a fellow Heinlein fan. A couple of things: Heinlein himself excluded "Let There Be Light" from his final Future History timeline, so I don't think it's appropriate to include it the final chronology. It is listed below in the Original Future History section, so it's not like the story is lost to readers of the page. Even if you think he was wrong to exclude it, I think we have to follow his lead on this one. Also, the story is titled "Let There Be Light" with quotes. The link you posted does not have those quotes and just leads to a page about the phrase in the Bible. You can see how the link in the Original Future History includes the quotes, though no one has written an article for it yet. That'd be great if you'd like to do one. Thanks for the suggestion about the talk page, I'll be sure to post something in there about the template. mosesroth 02:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've read the FAQ and I'm convinced. I'm going to add a little explanation as to why it's included. Actually, I'd like to flesh out the article more, but it's been a while since I read The Past Through Tomorrow and I'd like to refamiliarize myself with it before moving forward. If you'd like to do any writing in it, that'd be great. I think it could use a section describing the course of history and one describing the course of the writing of it. mosesroth 05:07, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

CALNDR-L

Because you have shown an interest in calendars and time, if you have not done so, I invite you to join CALNDR-L, where all of the world's calendars, past and present, and time are discussed. Many proposed calendars are also discussed, in which I have no interest. — Joe Kress 23:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

History

Maybe. I will do what is better. Igor Skoglund

Re: Future events

Thanks for alerting me to those pages. I've removed the future events and have noted why in the edit summaries. Fabricationary 02:41, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Do we have some guidelines about what kind of entries we can yank from those pages? The problem cases are no-name actors or singers or (gak) wrestlers. I'm tempted to pull more of the cruft, but it's hard to argue the point when the no-name in question has a Misplaced Pages entry. -- Jim Douglas 02:46, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

For events, there is Misplaced Pages:Notability on a global scale over time. For people, anyone without a Misplaced Pages article devoted to himself or herself personally gets removed on-sight. For people with Wikiarticles that you feel aren't notable, the ideal way to go is an AfD/prod. It'd be quite complicated to devise a list of criteria for what people with articles are and aren't allowed to appear on the pages. Regards, Fabricationary 03:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

For Kenny Kim, I'd list it at WP:AFD as a non-notable bio. A kid actor whose biggest claim to fame was having a few lines in Blue's Clues doesn't seem notable. He doesn't have an IMDB entry - at least I don't believe this is him. A Google search with the name in quotes didn't yield any relevant entries (at a cursory glance). Tam in Miss Saigon, is, to the best of my understanding, a non-speaking part/minor character (though his presence plays a big role in the conclusion). Fabricationary 04:02, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey

Hey, you're welcome, Jim. Thanks for standing up against the vandal in the first place.

Actually, I reverted 69.80.225.11 , not 67.159.5.76 ;-) MrFish 19:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

St. Sechnaill

Hi Jim. Did'nt think that lack on entry (as yet) would entail deletion, but I do hope to write something brief on him soon. The source you cite is not very accurate, however. Thanks for dropping by, Fergananim 21:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• I was really just preparing the ground, as there are a number of other related links that I'm trying to establish. At present all I am doing is creating a skeletel chronicle of Irish pre-history and early historical era. Thanks for the word up, Jim. Are you interested in any related areas yourself? We don't have much, and even fewer people working on same, so you'd be very welcome. Fergananim 21:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• • Many people the world over, even here in Ireland, thank God for the Corrs! Sadly for many of us, two of them are now happily married Mummys. Fergananim 21:53, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Vandals

Just try to be really boring. Sometimes that helps. Mak (talk) 00:18, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

27 February

My recollection (from a post-riot story in The Observer, I believe) was that there was some doubt as to the source of the fire and the spark for the attack, though now, of course, I can't find it. Still, I think the text gives undue to the responsibility of the Muslims in the mob, since the riots that followed were purely murderous retaliation, whipped up by extremist Hindu politicians, that killed twenty times as many Muslims as Hindus. --CalendarWatcher 14:28, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Hurricane Ivan comment from September 24

You are welcome. I look forward to working with you in the future if our paths cross again. Chris 18:26, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Reply

Hi. :) Sorry about the confusion. When doing date articles, before reverting, I wikipedia-search them, and I typed in the wrong name in the adress bar and since no article came up I reverted it. You can revert my edit. It was just a mistake, I apologize. Apple9 22:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Fuck

Why did you add the {{sprotect}} template here? - Glen 08:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, that explains it. Thanks for the reply. Just so you know the tag itself does not protect the page, but if you feel it needs it head to WP:RFP or message me. Thanks again :) - Glen 14:05, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

The section headings on March 4

Thanks for your comment on the section headings in the March 4. I put the section headings in the article as it was getting very long and it needed wikify. I do understand that it would be a good idea to have all the date articles consistent with each other. In fact the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Days of the year group does state that pages should be consistent in style. I will leave a comment on the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Days of the year group that I think the articles need section headings although it will be a long job updating all 366 days! Thank you for drawing this to my attention --Benjaminevans82 20:33, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I have just this second updated the links--Benjaminevans82 20:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Roc(k)tober

Hazy memories As I recall, I simply typed "Rocktober" and nothing came up, so I made a redirect. If you have content to put into either, please do. Any other questions, feel free to talk to me, or e-mail. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 02:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope, I don't have any content...just checking. When you typed "Rocktober", what were you looking for? -- Jim Douglas 03:12, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Al-Aqsa Intifada

"Al-Aqsa Intifada begins", while technically a whole sentence, is far too insufficient. Whether Sharon's visit was the cause -- or intent -- it's indisputable that the violence followed his visit, which is what the entry says. --CalendarWatcher 23:05, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
