[edit] Red Dwarf

Just asking about the link you removed from Red Dwarf page, i believe that the link isn't to copyrighted material, it is out of copyright as being less than a certain time it is allowed. Also it follows Google Video's rules for copyright violation. 86.129.89.52 13:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm really not sure how clips from the pilot, however brief, can be classed as not breaking copyright. NBC own the rights to the pilot, and the makers of the Red Dwarf DVDs have stated how expensive it was to obtain the rights to show even the briefest of clips on the "Dwarfin' USA" documentary. Furthermore, I wasn't sure how the clip was particularly relevant to the Wiki entry. If you feel it is (a) relevant and (b) qualifies as fair use rather than breaching copyright, I'd suggest discussing it on the entry's talk page in an attempt to reach a consensus. Seb

No, i doubt it is 100% legal, i had no idea it was expensive for GNP to get hold of the clips. I think best to leave it. 86.129.89.52 13:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hamish and Mouse

I've created a brief article on this strip in its own right, which expands a bit on the section on the RotR page. Hopefully I'll be able to add a little bit more and also add some images if I'm able to get my old RotR comics back.... ChrisTheDude 13:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy's Troubles

Yeah, that was probably my favourite RotR strip back then, like you say it's a shame there's so little web presence for these stories, I'd have thought more people had nostalgia for them. I'm thinking of doing an article on Johnny Dexter next, that'll probably finish off the coverage of the "classics" of RotR (except maybe for those later ones you mention, but I had stopped reading it by then...). I've now been reunited with my old RotR annuals, courtesy of my parents, but it seems like the comics themselves are now lining a landfill somewhere, which is a shame.....

[edit] Damon Hill

Hey Seb! - Thanks for the comments on the Damon Hill peer review...it's now up for an FA, please can you show your support, please? --Skully Collins 08:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support and your understanding overthe lack of images :) --Skully Collins 10:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. As I mentioned, there was a bit of work that needed doing language-wise (including over-repetition of certain phrases, especially in the lead), and the section on his post-F1 career was a bit of a mess in places (especially the Pizza Hut and Jenson Button bits). But I've tidied those up the best I could, and I think as it stands it's got a decent shout. Not sure how much other support you'll get, as FAC voters are notoriously stingy and will always find something to pick at, but for me it's comprehensive enough and the career biography, especially, flows well. Seb Patrick 10:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah...Personally I'd just bit satisfied that it's better then the Schumacher article. --Skully Collins 10:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cisse transfer

Hi, Thanks for letting me know about the Cisse thing. I'll wait till its confirmed before i edit it next time. Thanks Again. Aprameya 15:28, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Liverpool

Thanks for notifying. That page was getting attacked constantly and I blindedly reverted any remove I've seen. Again, thanks for the notice. (: Kedi the tramp (talk • contribs • count) (Respond to me on my Talk.) 15:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The new FAR/FARC process

Hi Seb

I noticed your excellent contributions to Roy of the Rovers on the FAC page, and wondered whether you'd be interested in dropping into WP:FAR occasionally (or often) to encourage, prod, critique, and—when the crunch comes—to declare "Keep" or "Remove". Your interests in popular culture and the media would be a bonus on top of your editing skills.

The new FAR process is now being swamped with nominations (currently 23 in FAR and 13 in FARC), and the four or five regulars are finding it difficult to service the needs of such a large process. The ideal is to encourage the guardians of the many substandard FAs to fix them; sometimes this happens, but all too often, a nomination is met with disinterest by those you'd have thought would be keen.

The contribution of more good reviewers there, particularly those who are focused on good writing, would have a powerful impact on the FA culture in WP.

[edit] Re: "vandalism"

Thanks for the heads up. As you then noticed, I'd already spotted them, but I appreciate it anyway -- just in case! The JPS^{talk to me} 12:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goal Timings

What is your source for goal timings on the Liverpool FC page? Thanks.--Franchecomté 18:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I've got a video of the ITV footage as it was broadcast. Even though the timings themselves may not be the official times (as it's ITV's own clock), the gap between them is surely still constant. I know there's debate over the whole "six/seven minutes" thing, but I just went back and watched it, and clocked the exact number of minutes/seconds between the two goals crossing the line.

[edit] Hill

Hey Seb - Thanks for the messege...anyway, YOU should take some credit as well, I mean it wasn't just 4u1e who did most of the grammer work ;-), because it certainly wasn't me, because of my Autism :-(. --Skully Collins _{Review Me! Please?} 08:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I see I'm late to the party :-) Thanks for the compliments, Seb. (Article seems to be holding up well under the strain on being on the front page!) 4u1e 21:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An FAC

In case you've got some time to glance over it, I've got (video game music composer) Frank Klepacki sitting in FAC. I blew a tire from working on it seven or eight hours yesterday, so my strategic distance is toast. I'll probably do some kind of hardcopy or reference-less copyediting today, but I'm asking for assistance on a few talk pages just in case. Thanks for considering. --Zeality 15:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of beat 'em ups undeletion request

I have nominated List of beat 'em ups to be undeleted, under the reasoning that it is not redundant to the category; it contains many games which are not covered by the category, and may never be able to be covered by it. In addition, the list can do more than the category. It can put date, developer, release date, system, et al., useful especially for articles that would be difficult to create an article for. I hope that you will vote on this and hopefully support its undeletion, on the basis that it does something that makes it not redundant to the category.

[edit] Damon Hill reverts

Sorry Seb - It looks like we have a persistent wiki-user who goes against what is internationally believed. I was wondering, is reverting referenced material vandalism?--Skully Collins 12:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning Red Dwaf— Isn't 1999 minus 1988 eleven years?

Hi Mr. Patrick: How I stubbled on your Wikipedia article I don't even remember— I think I was Wiki-ing Craig Ferguson or something— (I'm an an American, so I'm not even familiar with the series Red Dwarf— sorry. But anyway, at the beginning of your article you write: "Red Dwarf is a British science fiction sitcom that ran for eight series, from 1988 to 1999". Now math is my achilles heel, and not to be a wise aas, but Isn't 1999 minus 1988 eleven years?
