Because you don't have nearly enough The Simpsons (Annoyed Grunt)-star barnstars relative to the crazy amount of WP:DOH/TOPIC work you do. :P -- Cirt (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC) |
Great job with all the hard work on The Simpsons WP:DOH/TOPIC project! Cirt (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Lisa's Substitute
Hey, just popping in for a second to say I'll add those receptions later today. You'll probably be sleeping when I add them, do you want me to nom it for GAC when I get done adding those, or does it still need more work? CTJF83Talk 18:45, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry! got side tracked when I got back home, and forgot all about adding the receptions. I'll have to work on it tomorrow. CTJF83Talk 07:22, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- I nomed it. CTJF83Talk 03:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I noticed your request for a copyedit of Lisa the Vegetarian at the WP:GOCE. Since it's one of my favorite episodes ever, I'll be happy to do the CE. Just gimme a few days? Scartol • Tok 18:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- I always wondered if anyone looked at that thing. Sometimes I can't resist a good CE, especially if it's related to something I really care about. Such a glorious episode deserves a glorious article. =) Scartol • Tok 20:56, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Favour?
First, congrats! We've officially turned Bart the Fink into a GA! :D However, I'm in murky water right now; I've almost made And Then There Were None a GA, but there's a LOT of copyediting to do...something I'm not too good at. Could you possibly help me improve the article by the means given on the review page? Thanks in advance! Cheers. I'mperator 01:57, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
On another note: are you ready to nominate Brush with Greatness yet? The article looks pretty good :D Cheers. I'mperator 14:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- BTW, Maitch hasn't edited Lisa the Iconoclast in over a month; do you reckon it's ok to take over? Cheers. I'mperator 14:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

GA Reviews
Hello. Can you please review Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo and Eat, Pray, Queef? Cheers, —Terrence and Phillip 06:15, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, noticed you were editing it; want to work together on it? I've dug up some more reliable resources :P And btw, I have the copy of "The Tempest" and "The Lord of the Flies" in front of me; while snpp may be an unreliable source, what they claim is true. Cheers. I'mperator 20:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- BTW, thanks for the references for "Brush with Greatness"; I'll be working on those soon ;) Maybe these articles will be ready for GAN in the seeable future... Cheers. I'mperator 20:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Odd...I was just going to ask you whether you would like to expand the Production section xD Cheers. I'mperator 20:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Could I ask you a favour for Three Men and a Comic Book: Can you help increase the Plot section? The article, in my opinion, is just receiving finishing touches before it is ready to become a GA. Cheers. I'mperator 20:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Course not :P BTW, you don't mind if I add my name to the "Claimed articles that are not GACs" here for Three Men and a Comic Book with yours, do you? :D Cheers. I'mperator 20:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
- Good job! I noticed you dug up a ref for the Lord of the Flies :P I'll expand the plot section now ;) Cheers. I'mperator 22:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

No doubt it'll pass with flying colours with all we've done :P Cheers. I'mperator 19:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Lol. As I was actually reading LEAD before, I only noticed the "The lead must conform to verifiability and other policies. The verifiability policy advises that material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and quotations, should be cited.", not the Because the lead will usually repeat information also in the body, editors should balance the desire to avoid redundant citations in the lead with the desire to aid readers in locating sources for challengeable material." bit Thanks for catching it :P Cheers.

Castiel (Supernatural) GA nom
Don't know if you're interested, but I helped the user who's heading the GA push for the article fix it up, and it's back at GAN. If you're busy or whatever, no big deal. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 06:30, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Happy B-Day
Thank you, I appreciate it. :) I too was part of the Birthday committee, sadly I'm busy working on other projects. :( Oh, you don't need to thank me, I'm just doing my job as a reviewer. You're a very nice person, hence why I review your articles. :P P.S. I'll be sure to drop you a note on your B-Day. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:13, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm only nice when you're kind to me. :) Well, thank you, I like that "nice" comment you added. Oh, I will review "The Way We Was" in a while, so, please bear with me. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks Leftorium! I responded to your comments. — Hunter Kahn (contribs) 00:29, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Principal Charming
I passed Principal Charming's GAN. The only problem I found with it was that the plot summary was cited, which isn't necessary through WP:MOSTV, so I dropped those. Nice work! — Hunter Kahn (contribs) 02:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

deletion of We Are The World reference in Eat, Pray, Queef
Why? That was pretty straightforward. justcary —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justcary (talk • contribs) 01:51, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding. I just thought my additional information would be useful to readers who haven't been on the planet long enough to get the We Are The World reference, but I'm the source of the information, although it is agreed by blogging fans all over the internet–nothing that you would approve as a 'reliable source'. I just read the article on verifiability. Why didn't you just tag my sentence instead, or help me source it? justcary (talk) 02:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

- I'll get back to the article soon. I've been distracted by some other things lately. Zagalejo^^^ 21:13, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'll have a look (probably just for copyediting duties) once Zag has finished the larger changes. Keep me posted? Scartol • Tok 17:31, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
- People are free to jump in whenever they want. At the moment, I'm spending most of my time trying to clean up some BLPs of NBA players (some of which are in horrible shape). I'll try to do some more work on Lisa the Vegetarian sometime this week, but I think the BLPs require more urgent attention. Zagalejo^^^ 18:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but if structural changes are still being made, then it doesn't make sense for me to copyedit. (It's like polishing a car while it's still being painted.) Can you give me an idea when you'll be done reviewing the structure? Scartol • Tok 14:01, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem. It might even be a future FAC if I can find more info on his more minor roles. Surprisingly, the least detailed section is the one on his work on The Simpsons. I'm also in the process of getting a book about SNL and hopefully I'll be able to expand it quite a bit. -- Scorpion0422 15:50, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
Happy Birthday to You
![]() | Just a happy Birthday message to you, Theleftorium, from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! |
- FROM YOUR FRIEND:
-- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- What are friends for. :) Also, I passed "The Way We Was" and sorry for the delay, I was busy this weekend. P.S. I believe I'm older. :P -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, I thought you and I were the same age, that's why I added the note "I'm older" because of the days, not year. Sorry. :P -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, now that makes sense. Like I said, I assumed you and I shared the same birth year, but we do share the same birth month. :) I hope this doesn't sound out of the ordinary, but, I've been wanting to write some episode articles, particularly Will & Grace, one of my favorite shows, for a while. The thing is that I'm like lost, because I have no idea what to include. Since, you have a great deal of knowledge towards them, I was maybe hoping if you would like to help me (that's if you have time). -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:45, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Excellent. Yeah, it sorta hinted that you were going to say that you weren't familiar with the show. I'll go out and rent the first season DVD, and write notes about the concept and all that stuff. Sure, when you have the available time, we can work on it. Thanks for wanting to collaborate. ;) Now, go and enjoy your birthday. :P -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll watch the episode on YouTube and see what I can come up with. Its been a while since I've seen the Pilot. I went to go rent the DVD, but it wasn't available. :( Oh and thanks for doing this, I 'preciate it. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll take care of the Plot. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, I just remembered something. The cast was on Inside the Actors Studio in 2003 and I believe the creators said something related to the development of the first episode. I've been googling to see the video, but I can't find it. I thought I should let you know, maybe you have a better chance of finding it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:30, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

- Please, call me Blue. :) Its fine, I'm a bit sidetracked as well. Alright, I'm gonna see if my local library has the DVD available. crossing fingers. If not, I'll request it online. Also, I found this link devoted to the show, it has various links/reviews, that might help with the reviews. Question: Would it help to add that Sean Hayes playing Jack "took a tole on him"? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:40, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- That's good to know. I was going to add the link in the External links, but decided no to. Alright, I'll add some of that info. and will to look for more. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, I think I found some sources, [12] [13], leading up to the Pilot, thought I should let you know. Also, I bring this up because I'm having so much trouble "putting it in my own words". -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:52, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hah, something we share in common. :) Alright, just wanted to let you know. Yeah, I think its ready for its own article. Actually, I was gonna ask you if we could nominate it for DYK like two days before, but never got to it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

It should probably say that it was met positive reception (the show succeeded) despite the comparisons/aftermath of the Ellen show, IDK, something like that. (I'm not good when it comes to zingers). Why ahead of ya; I was searching for an image, but can't seem to find it. Don't worry, I'll get the picture situation taken care of. Also, I wanted to ask you, but didn't, wanna maybe work on the final episode? Only if you're up to it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I'll get the Development section "filled in"; I've been looking at some info., as the show was about to end, about the start of Will & Grace, so that can be used in handy. Awesome, I can see "this" working out well between us. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:23, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's a great line, never thought of coming up with it; Go with it. :) Hey, I have some good news and bad news; the good news is that I got the DVD for the final season, the bad news, the library doesn't have the first season available, so. IDK if this is helpful. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:06, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, well just wanted to let you know. There sure is; The cast talks about the final episode and how they wanted the characters' "fate" to conclude. Also, the creators talk about the development towards the final episode, so yes, there is useful stuff in the DVD. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Man, looking for screenshots are hard; I found this link with a photo slide of the episode, not sure if its helps. I don't know how you guys do it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Good news, the final season does talk about the beginning of the show. I'm taking notes right now and will add some stuff in a while. Just wanted to let you know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Great. I think we have this all set and done. Question: Would it be important to say that Eric McCormack was the first to be cast or... -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yup, the DVD is the source. :) Yeah, I believe its ready to be nominated. I see no problem with the article. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Cool. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:51, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- So, this is how it feels co-nominating an episode article. ;) Yeah, let's work on it your sandbox, cause, all my sandboxes are "full". -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:58, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

- Yup, the DVD is the source. :) Yeah, I believe its ready to be nominated. I see no problem with the article. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:45, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Great. I think we have this all set and done. Question: Would it be important to say that Eric McCormack was the first to be cast or... -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:38, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
- Good news, the final season does talk about the beginning of the show. I'm taking notes right now and will add some stuff in a while. Just wanted to let you know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:58, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Man, looking for screenshots are hard; I found this link with a photo slide of the episode, not sure if its helps. I don't know how you guys do it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, well just wanted to let you know. There sure is; The cast talks about the final episode and how they wanted the characters' "fate" to conclude. Also, the creators talk about the development towards the final episode, so yes, there is useful stuff in the DVD. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's a great line, never thought of coming up with it; Go with it. :) Hey, I have some good news and bad news; the good news is that I got the DVD for the final season, the bad news, the library doesn't have the first season available, so. IDK if this is helpful. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:06, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Its fine, when you have time we can definitely work on it. Just, drop me a note when your available and I'll do my research. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:44, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hey, so finally, I get the first season DVD, apparently a relative had the DVD, I just forgot that they owned it. Anyways, I took some notes of some useful info., but I'm debating whether or not to include it. I don't want to mess up the copy-editing you did. So, I would rather you add it or not, but just letting you know. According to McCormack, Warren Littlefield was not excited about the first two couples, per the Development section, but wanted to learn more about both Will and Grace. Thought that would be important to jot down. Another thing, according to Mutchnick and Kohan, Will and Grace were suppose to be supporting characters, but NBC were not thrilled about who ever it was was the lead role, IDK, I kept going back to see exactly what they were saying. Also, NBC went to James Burrows to see what he thought of the subject matter and if an audience would be interested in the show. Again, I thought I should run this by you. If you do decide to add this, I'll add the DVD source. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:51, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Production info for "Bart the Daredevil"
Hey, I've started to work on some episodes a bit again. If you have time, could you help with the production info for "Bart the Daredevil", season 2? Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 17:03, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah okay. Also, hopefully we can bring Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Featured topic Drive/season 7 to GTC before May 29.... Gary King (talk) 17:24, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish
If you go into Newsbank and do a search for "Bart Gets an F", then go to the results from 1990, you should get about 16 articles, most of which have some kind of mention of the episode (I don't think any of them use the full title of the ep). There are some comments that would be useful for reception, most of them say its better than Bart Gets an F. If you do a search for "The Simpsons", then go into the area of October 10-11, 1990, you should also find some more comments. I hope that helps. -- Scorpion0422 16:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- That's my goal, although I'd like to add more reception first. I was aiming for a DYK, but my padding skills aren't good enough. Hmm, I seem to remember a certain someone saying that during the Junior Championships... -- Scorpion0422 17:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- Also, Maitch seems to be on break, so I'm going to finish Lisa the Iconoclast for him. It's basically done, it just needs a lead and a glance over. -- Scorpion0422 17:23, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Will & Grace
Just letting you know that I reviewed The Pilot (Will & Grace), so you can check out my responses from the talk page. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:35, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yay, it passed. :) Yeah, I'll take care of the problem, don't worry about it. Oh, my library has the last season DVD available, so I'll get that and see what's in it. The other DVD didn't have that much info. on it, towards the episode. Hopefully, season eight does, since it was the last season. Yeah, I can definitely get to the last episode this weekend. IDK, if this important or not, but the show did have two live episodes, maybe we can work on that, if you want. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
- Awesome. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey, listen, I want to apologize for not working on the episode this weekend. My personal life caught up with me and I needed to attend to it. I see that you did a lot of work for the episode. Is there anything you want me to do? Also, I haven't gotten the DVD, but will get it later this week. Again, sorry for not helping out. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:08, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I do. I made a promise that I was gonna help out, but I didn't... but thanks for understanding. :) I can read through the plot and I can definitely do the production section. Also, I found a number of links, if you're interested. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:26, 11 May 2009 (UTC) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- Well, I'll can add some, but you can add the rest, if that's fine with you. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
- Great. Before I forget, would it be wise to add what Mutchnick and Kohan
taughtthought, I can't spell, how the show would end? I ask because in the first season DVD they were asked that question on how they would see the show end/character's fate. I'm just wondering if its relatable to add or not. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:47, 11 May 2009 (UTC)- Alright, I'll add it to the production section and leave you in peace now. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:52, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

South Park Season One question
Hey Leftorium. I see that you've nominated South Park (season 1) for featured list and listed me as a co-nominator. Thanks very much for doing that, and I'm glad to see some of my text from the episode articles has been helpful with this article! I had one question though. I started to comb through the article a little bit, and I had a question about the beginning of the Development section. I see that in the first paragraph, the first footnote you have links to a script to the Jesus vs. Santa cartoon, but that doesn't seem to have some of the information that comes before it? Is there a missing footnote somewhere around there? Also, shouldn't the stuff about Mr. Hankey in this first paragraph be attributed to the Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo episode commentary, not the Weight Gain 4000 commentary? Let me know, and please let me know if I can help any further with the article. — Hunter Kahn (contribs) 19:03, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- No prob. And by the way, the Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo FAC has been a bit dead, could use some feedback if you can spare the time. — Hunter Kahn (contribs) 23:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
- If we're going with the FA instead of FL here, I think (although I'm not positive) we can just remove South Park (season 1) from the FL list and go ahead and nominate it for FA. We may want to put it up for a Peer Review before we nominate it? Or we can just go with the FA, either way works for me. — Hunter Kahn (contribs) 05:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey leftorium, I want to apologize for not working on the article. I've been goofing off and working on other stuff. I'll get to the point, though.

Two Cars, etc., etc.
Personally, I think analysis sections should be used sparingly (and I hate writing them) but I'll take a look.
- [14]
- I'd say the last half of the top paragraph (starting with "here is...") might be useable. Try to paraphrase it as much as you can, try to limit a direct quote to 3 (or maybe 4) sentences.
- [15]
- This is just a recap of the episode, no real analysis or opinions.
- [16]
- Possibly useable, it does provide some comments the environmental themes of the episode, but again is more of a recap.
- [17] [18]
- Recap, no analysis.
- [19] [20]
- Nothing of use.
- [21]
- Discusses environmental themes, could be of use, specifically the portion that begins with "the burlesque frame of this episode..."
I hope that helps. Surprisingly, there is nothing about the episode in Planet Simpson. -- Scorpion0422 19:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks. Just 42 articles left (of which, 28 are not yet at GAC) until we finally get every classic-era episode to GA (or higher). After that, I think I'll retire from working on episodes, because it's so repetitive and tiring (plus, most of the season 10+ commentaries suck). Once we get that done, perhaps our next task should be to go back and improve the oldest GAs. -- Scorpion0422 20:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Hope you don't mind, but I've renamed Mahendran (actor) and downgraded your deletion request to a notability tag as I take the film appearances as an assertion of importance. Not a very strong assertion and I don't fancy its chances at AFD, but I feel it is not quite a speedy. Cheers and happy editing ϢereSpielChequers 13:59, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Review request
Hi there, I'd like to ask you a favor. I currently have one article left over at WP:GAN, Lina Leandersson. Looking at the oldest "Theatre, film..." article, I estimate that someone will probably start a review in 3-4 weeks. While I do not mind the wait, the problem is that I will be probably be away for a long time and not be able to respond to queries at that time.
I was wondering if you would be willing to review the article now. The fact that you're Swedish is a huge advantage (or should I say disadvantage ;) ) since you'll actually be able to read the sources. I'd consider it a personal favor, and will gladly review a couple of your nominations in return. I will of course not hold it against you if you are unwilling or unable to do it. Thanks, decltype (talk) 15:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I have nominated The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status.

Your RfA
Good luck with your RfA! Hope all goes well. :) Cirt (talk) 12:13, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Good luck also! It's looking good so far! :) CTJF83Talk 19:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
No!
Don't go! You'll truly be missed! :-( Meetare Shappy Cunkelfratz! 11:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Don't worry. I'm not taking a break from Wikipedia, just a small break from editing articles. I will be back soon. :) TheLeftorium 11:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- I sure hope so! I need someone to work on Simpsons GAs with! :) CTJF83Talk 18:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
RFA
Hey Theleftorium, sorry to see that you've decided to withdraw your RFA, I strongly believe you would be a great asset in the CSD area with the tools, any chance you'll reconsider? All the best SpitfireTally-ho! 11:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you, Spitfire. :) I'd love to run for adminship again in the future, but not now. This whole experience was stressful and even if I passed, I wouldn't feel good knowing that there were so many opposing votes. Cheers, TheLeftorium 11:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I'll keep an eye out for you next time around then :) All the best SpitfireTally-ho! 11:16, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Theleftorium, I've gone ahead and done the necessaries. Sorry things didn't work out, good luck in the future. --Floquenbeam (talk) 13:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- So sorry things did not work out for you, I hope things go well in the future. :( Cirt (talk) 14:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Once you clean up the pages, you can easily pass RfA. Just make sure to note that you cleaned it up and that you are working harder on those areas. Ottava Rima (talk) 15:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- RfA can be a thoroughly disheartening experience, but please don't let the process discourage you from contributing (I notice you blanked your user page, I'd guess in response to what was said over at the RfA). The GA/FA issues which were raised are as much to do with some apparent faults in the occasional review process as they are anything else; so, don't let this put you off. RfA has become (IMHO rightly so) more demanding, and potential admins are held to a higher standard. Hopefully it's just a learning experience and you can come back with another RfA in the future which I look forward to supporting. ColdmachineTalk 22:38, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
- Seconded. This is also what I tried to express during the RfA. I'm very sorry that it turned out the way it did. Anyway, I admire the way you handled yourself throughout the ordeal. You showed real character and integrity and have certainly not let anyone down. If you need help with anything, let me know. All the best, decltype (talk) 00:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
What's going on with this? The talk says it is a GAN, but it isn't listed at WP:GAC CTJF83Talk 19:20, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Citing quotations
Per your summary in this edit, I was wondering which page says that a citation must immediately follow a quote. Everything I've read just mentions that the quote must be attributed (which it was at the end of the paragraph in the old case). Thanks, Artichoker[talk] 15:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- I almost think you're taking that too literally. True it states that it should be placed directly after the citation, but I think that is rather to contrast with its other recommended placement. I believe that the way the page was written did not account for the possibility that more info about the review/paper would follow the quote. It simply makes more sense to cite the entire thought, as opposed to attributing every sentence to the same citation. I see I am not alone in my thinking as other video game articles, such as Halo: Combat Evolved, take WP:Citations#When quoting someone just as liberally. What do you think? Artichoker[talk] 15:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
- Good idea. I have composed a query. Artichoker[talk] 16:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Excellent rewrite. It went from a confusing stub of individual facts that were in no particular order to a engagingly written article with photos. Are you a professional writer? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 14:46, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Kosterhavet
It probably should, I'll move it now. Why doesn't Blå Jungfrun have the full name? Good work with the list btw! --Skizziktalk 14:21, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Tar det på svenska nu. Gäller inte detta även för flera andra nationalparker isåfall, t ex Söderåsen National Park och Gotska Sandön National Park? Var tycker du att gränsen går för vad artikeln ska heta? Ofta behandlar artiklarna både själva nationalparken och området därikring. I de flesta fallen är det inte lönt att ha två separata artiklar men Abisko delade jag till två artiklar eftersom det är ganska olika områden de behandlar. --Skizziktalk 14:39, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Gotska Sandön
Hi! I am main contributor to Polish description of Swedish National Parks and particularly this island and I am interested in your plans regarding national park/island issue. It seems to be ongoing problem on English Wiki - missing the difference between institution (NP, county, etc) and a geographical feature - island in most cases. I decided (after consultations) that best solution is to focus on administrative aspects while describing national parks (dates, areas, etc + general description of protected subject) and keep geography, nature and human history to description of island. Hence - we've got 2 articles on Gotska Sandön - describing island itself and national park. The same situation is with Bla Jungfrun (sorry, missing some letters). Would you be interested in doing the same here? It would be great to standardize and avoid confusion with interwikis! Tack! Lukasz Lukomski (talk) 22:39, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- I always thought that there are enough English/Swedish speakers, who can contribute here - I tend to contribute mostly in Polish language (partly because I love your country :) ) but maybe at some point I will move over here for some time :) Lukasz Lukomski (talk) 23:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Michael Jackson's Death Article
Hey no prob, I reverted it anyways, and left out the pic. Mc8755 (talk) 15:48, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Comment
Hey Left. I hope you aren't discouraged by the outcome of your recent RfA. I was very impressed by your throng of supporters, and I may well have gotten it wrong with my oppose. But I hope you'll be patient and keep at it. I am looking forward to supporting you the next time around. Cheers. Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:52, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi. You wanted to delete File:MJchange2.JPG, because it was a blatant copyright.
In fact, I created it all by myself using Microsoft Paint.
--AimalCool (talk) 13:58, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have red your comment on my talk about this, here's my reply: Ok then. But what shall I do now? Because I want to make one that shows all the faces of Michael Jackson over the time, without violating something. What shall I do?

Re: Will & Grace
OMG, I'm so sorry. Let me explain what happened, on the week that I had to pick up the DVD, I had to go to out of town, and when I came back the DVD was wasn't there anymore, cause someone else requested it and my "day limit" expired. When I did another request, I got the DVD, but it was the wrong discs; they were from season four. I pended another request two weeks ago, and I still haven't gotten word if its available.
I felt so bad, that I reviewed one of your articles, as an excuse for you not to be mad at me. One thing I did get from the other DVD, was that in a "dream sequence" in the episode, Will, Grace, and Jack become "old", and that their make-up was put on or something by "Academy Award make-up artists", would that help? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:08, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- No, I do need to apologize for not working on the article. Despite what you say. ;) Cool, but how would I say it? Cause, I can't say that the make-up effects were done by "Academy Award make-up artists", unless I leave it quotations. What do you think? Yeah, I forgot to ask you if the info. in your sandbox was enough to create its own article. But, you're the pro, so I'll go with your word. :) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:30, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I just went through my "notes", and its "Academy Award nominees". They don't mention names, just that. IDK, would that work? I'll do a Google search and see if I come up with something. Also, I'm working on the pilot for the show, The Comeback, which starred Lisa Kudrow. Want another GA? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- I have added it. Alright, I'll work on the Plot, which won't take long. I know, who doesn't love Lisa Kudrow? :) Yeah, I would like to work on the pilot by myself, but I'm kinda strugglin' with the Production section. I guess, you can point out to me out on what I need to do. Despite me looking at the pilot from Will & Grace and some other shows as references. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Alright, I'm done with the Plot, so please take a look. Okay, everything you said sounds good. :) I'm working on the Comeback article in my sandbox. I have the DVD and looking for some internet sources. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks and don't let the bed bugs bite. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:40, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Done. Its fine, like you said, no rush. :) Yeah, the quote definitely works. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 14:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I would see why you ask this. The show was indeed outrageous. ;) 1) Beverley Leslie is a short man and Jack tells Karen that he is not happy with Beverley and tells her his frustrations with him, and I quote, "Or won't let you open the terrace doors to let you scream because he's afraid a gust of wind will blow him off the balcony", which happens and yes it did kill him. :P 2) Jack and Karen sing the song because Karen "feel[s] a song coming on" and Jack agrees. That was one of their bits of weirdness with each other. If what I said doesn't make sense, here's the transcript. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm glad it makes sense. :) Hey, do you think this screenshot might work? Also, I was wondering if you could help me out with the ratings for the Comeback, cause I'm coming up empty my way. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:20, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll try. God, I don't remember, it's been such a long time. I think it was one hour long. I'm not sure. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, that's fine. I was looking at the image and wondering what caption could be added. But, I saw your message. You saved me. :) Thank you, I do appreciate your help on this. :P -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Cool, cool. Really? Damn it. Though, I did find this, but I'm not sure if its referring to the premiere episode or something else. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I've been keeping an eye on the articles coming through, but so far none have had any really useful reception information. I was hopping for some good reception comments and then maybe I could try a FAC for the article. -- Scorpion0422 16:57, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
