[edit] Very Special Episode: Mea Culpa!

I'm sorry about the changes to the Very special episode page and the outburst on the talk page. I thought that an agreement had been made to delete the examples from the article, and so this morning, when I saw that someone had put them back up, I thought that I would fix the situation of people wanting them on the list, or at least make an effort. It was a spur of the moment decision, done in a state of extreme pissed-off-ness, and I apologize. I hope this doesn't label me as a vandal, or get me blocked from wikipedia. Bkissin 03:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, man. Anthony Rupert 03:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Siedlecka

Thanks for the comment. It was most helpful.Poeticbent 07:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

No problem, but the article still needs work. Anthony Rupert 16:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Done deed. Poeticbent 18:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moberg

What did you change? If I recall correctly, I put the Sweden stubs there. Correct me if I'm wrong. --The monkeyhate 17:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

I changed one to {{1950s-novel-stub}} because that's more accurate. Sweden stubs refer to the geography of Sweden itself, not necessarily works by people who lived in Sweden. Anthony Rupert 04:46, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Exits on Highway 401 (Ontario)

Did you pull the Article for Deletion request?

If so, thanks;
if not, trust the revision to make it look as it appeared in the original site is up to wiki standards...and if not, please do not get me banned for vandalism (that has happened before)
Thanks!

[edit] Merge

Why are you adding the tag prior to discussion? It is intended to grow into something such as this Roman relations with the Parthians and Sassanians. It's a stub.--Eupator 21:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, that wasn't clear at first. And as far as adding a tag prior to discussion, um...since when don't people do that? Anthony Rupert 21:53, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I guess so, but since the tag says see the talk page for more info it's expected that there is some sort of a clarification along with the tag.--Eupator 22:15, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The tag says that because that's just how it's formatted. I didn't create the tag; I just added it to the page.

And just so you know, I wasn't trying to vandalize your page or anything; I was just doing what I thought was necessary. Anthony Rupert 22:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kooser State Park

Hi,

I removed the National Park Service stub tag from the Kooser State Park page, because the park is a Pennsylvania State Park, not a national park. Squamate 13:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1648 in music

Hi, Anthony! Regarding the clean-up/restructure tag that you placed on the new 1648 in music article, can you be more specific, please? I created the article yesterday, along with some others, to fill some gaps in a series of articles (see List of years in music). The article is in the same basic format as the other Year in music articles. It is skimpy on content at the moment because it is new, but there is actually lots of info "out there" about "music happenings" in the 17th century, and the intention is that I and other editors will be filling more in, now that the article exists. Thanks for your interest in the article, and looking forward to receiving your reply. Cheers, Lini 12:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I put the tag there because there are a lot of empty sections. Anthony Rupert 14:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] W.C. Bradley Co.

How is the W.C. Bradley Co. page an advertisement. While I haven't completely finished all I want to put on the page, it is hardly an advertisement. It is very similar to the General Electric page. Should GE be marked as an advertisement and deleted? I don't understand your logic.

Hey, calm down; it's only one man's opinion.

By the way, in the future, sign your posts with ~~~~ so I know whom I'm talking to. Anthony Rupert 04:40, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I just wanted to understand why you felt like it was any different than any other company page. Bryanw03 05:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Stanford

Anthony, following WP:DRV, the Peter Stanford article has been restored and placed on AfD. I've significantly expanded the article. Alan Pascoe 20:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of rainbow tech article

This article was created based on information I found on slashdot and other news sites to highlight the new technology. NOT to advertise the company.

I am nothing to do with the company in question and tbh, if I was, I would have added a lot more information.

Wikipedia cannot be useful without information on technologies even if they have been developed by a person. Tuxish 16:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dream (band)

What major edits were you planning, since you put up the "in use" template? Can we just restore the page to this edit, in which you added some info about "Miss You", since it seems an anon was blanking the page for no apparent reason? Fabricationary 04:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and restored the page. If you have any more edits to make, feel free to make them - you don't need to add the "in use" template to pages which you're planning to edit later on :). Fabricationary 04:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm editing it as we speak; you barely gave me a chance. The template even states that the tag should be removed only if the page hasn't been edited recently, and it's only been a few minutes.

I'm not trying to start an edit war, but I'm reinstating the tag for the time being. Anthony Rupert 04:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, but you don't have to leave an almost-blank version of the page up while editing. I think that "in use" template is intended for pages that get a lot of edits - Dream (band) isn't particularly heavily-edited, so I doubt there will be edits while you are trying to edit. Dream was a group I followed for many years (and I was fortunate enough to maintain contact with one member and her family), so I'm excited to see your edits :). Fabricationary 05:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I decided not to do it after all because what I was going to do was restore things that you've already restored. Ah well. Anthony Rupert 05:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Home Improvement

Apologies for the slow response - I'm just back from holiday.

The links I removed are those which the Manual of Style (WP:MOS) recommends against because they add no value and detract from the readability of the article by cluttering it with useless links. In particular, there's no value in linking individual months, and individual years should only be linked if there's some special significance (see WP:DATE). And there's no value in links to common words like 'friend' - anyone who can understand the article at all knows what a friend is, so the link will never be used (see WP:CONTEXT). By contrast, the links to, for example, related TV shows, articles on the actors etc, are likely to be used, so those links do add value to the article. Colonies Chris 09:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] James Braid Taylor

Regarding the cleanup requested on James Braid Taylor page, I want some tips to go about it. Since the article as such being very short, I am unable to proceed.--PremKudva^Talk 05:38, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use images

Greetings! I've observed that you have uploaded a significant number of fair use images for use in userboxes. Per our policies at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9, the use of fair use images outside of the main article namespace is not permitted. This includes prohibiting their use on userboxes and userpages. Taggings such as {{logo}} and {{albumcover}} are "fair use" tags. You tagged the images appropriately, as they are indeed copyrighted images. However, you may not use them in the way you have been using them.

Furthermore, all images used under terms of fair use on Wikipedia must, by our policies, be used in main article namespace articles somewhere, at least once. The images listed below are not used in this manner and are thus subject to deletion seven days from now unless they are used in the main article namespace by then:

Image:Culvers ubx.jpg
Image:Orangejulius ubx.gif
Image:Arcticmonkeys ubx.jpg
Image:Becktheinformation ubx.jpg
Image:Halloatesourkindofsoul ubx.jpg
Image:Davematthewsbandstandup ubx.jpg
Image:Mayercontinuum ubx.jpg
Image:Jonblogo.jpg
Image:Keane Logo2 ubx.jpg
Image:Billboard ubx.jpg

If you have any questions about these issues, I'd be happy to answer. All the best, --Durin 06:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

While there is technical means to scale down such images, using fair use images on userboxes is simply not permitted. For how to resize images, see User_talk:Drcwright#Sizing_of_images where I discussed this with another user. But, again, you may not use fair use tagged images outside of the main article namespace. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria item #9. If you have other questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. All the best, --Durin 02:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I guess I'm confused as to what the main article namespace is. Anthony Rupert 03:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Any actual article of the encyclopedia. Note above how this page is titled; "User talk:COMPFUNK2". This page is in the User talk space. Your userpage is in the User space. If a page title does not have a prefix followed by a colon then followed by a title, it is in the main article namespace. --Durin 04:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Garfield question

Hello, I'm new this world of wikipedia but noticed you seem to be updating the garfield and friends episodes on here and was hoping you'd be able to answer a question for me. I'm trying to find a particular episode (which I very vaguely remember from my childhood but impacted me nonetheless) in which orson the pig obtains the power to read people's minds and begins to go crazy with new found talent. while most of his friends are beginning to think he's acting quite strange, one animal (the duck if i remember correctly) is worried about him because he is his friend and cares about him. I know that's not much to go off of and may actually be fairly incorrect since it's been well over decade since I actually saw the episode, but any help you may have would be very appreciated. Thank you!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hartspark (talk • contribs) 04:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC).

The episode is called Mind Over Melvin. Anthony Rupert 04:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation.

Heya, noticed you are interested in LGBT issues and wanted to invite you to join WikiProject LGBT studies. We would be delighted to have you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 16:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Would love to, but don't know if I have the time right now. Anthony Rupert 04:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, whenever you do, we'll be here. :D Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not a test

You put {{uw-test1}} on my talk page for an addition to the trivia section of one-hit wonder. For trivia, I thought it was a suitable addition... You can revert it if that makes you happy, but it was no test. Please remove the tag.Qevlarr 13:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for the confusion. To me, what you wrote seemed irrelevant to the article, and I was actually looking for the tag that referred to such an addition, but after the template messages were revamped, I found that that kind of tag no longer exists. Thus, {{uw-test1}} was the only option I had.

As for removing the tag, it is my understanding that non-administrators aren't supposed to do that. Anthony Rupert 22:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I see no problem with you removing a tag you put there yourself.

Was the addition so bad it even needed a tag? According to WP:TRIVIA, trivia is interesting without being notable. My addition very well matched that description. My addition would not pass WP:NOTE... So? Even if it needed deletion, I disagree with putting a tag on the editor's talk page. It was only one line in the trivia section, for crying out loud!

Where did you come up with the idea to use some random other tag, when you could not find the one you were planning to put on my talk page? I am dumbfounded by your choice to knowingly use an unsuitable tag, where none was needed in the first place. Remove the tag, pretty please. Qevlarr 10:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

There's a difference between "other" and "unsuitable". I already explained myself, so if you have such a problem with the tag, I suggest you remove it yourself. Please don't bother me any more about this. Anthony Rupert 15:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re:planet copyedit

I just polished the "Indian planets" addition to the Etymology section and added a ^{[citation needed]} tag. Was that it, or was there more in the section you thought needed attention? Serendipodous 15:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I was referring to the very last paragraph in that section, where several spaces are needed when the belt of planets is discussed. I would fix it myself, but I'm in the middle of fixing a few other articles at the moment. Anthony Rupert 15:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 12:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Because somebody posted

"= charli murray == loves andy more than anything in the whole world and she thinks he is the most gorgeous guy eva !! she loves him more than pete wentz and more than dougie pointer and everyone else she has ever liked"

Oh no, I apologize... it was an accident that I put your username as I was trying to get the code working from the "help:revert" page but in fact I had to revert the page to yours. I'm sorry..

[edit] Expert verify

Hi. Could you explain why you added the Expert-Verify tag to the Earth article? I'm already getting citations to confirm all the information. What sort of expertise do you think is needed? Your request was much too open ended. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 16:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I placed the tag because the revisions were so involved that it was getting hard to tell what was true and what wasn't. Anthony Rupert 22:34, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent reports to WP:AIV

Thanks for helping out with reverting vandalism. =) About your two recent reports to WP:AIV ([1] [2]), these two IPs had stopped several hours before you reported them. Vandals should only be reported to WP:AIV if they have vandalized recently, especially anonymous IP vandals. Reporting them a few hours after their last edit is a bit too late. -- Gogo Dodo 01:42, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
