[edit] Terry McCrann

Hi. I guess almost the last thing I did was put the welcome message on you page before heading off to sleep, whic is why I didn't answer sooner. I assume that this is what you want:

[[Image:McCrann Terry.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Terry McCrann]] is what I used here.

[[Image:McCrann Terry.jpg|thumb|200px|Terry McCrann]] would also work.

By changing the px number you can make it bigger or smaller but 200 or 250 is probably a good size. I notice that the page you have the picture on has been tagged as not having it's copyright status listed. You need to get that fixed. Where did the picture come from? As to the deleting of the article, well that does happen fast sometimes. What you need to do is to try and set the whole article up beforehand on your own computer. Make sure that you have the categegory(s) and if necessary the stub tags on the article. Also make sure it's Wikified. That is put as much as is possible (and sensible) within the [[, check out Wikipedia:Tutorial and Wikipedia:Tutorial (Formatting). Hope this helps. If you need any more help just leave a message on my talk page. I will be on for the next few days from 0600 - 1300 Coordinated Universal Time. CambridgeBayWeather 18:45, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

OK if you click on the picture or go to [[:Image:McCrann Terry.jpg:Terry McCrann] you will see that there is a tag about the copyright status of the picture. You need to get it fixed up. I'm not sure what you need to do so I think you will have to try and find an editor that has some idea of copyright info. CambridgeBayWeather 12:46, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I deleted Terry McCrann for violating the copyright of the article from which it was clipped. I didn't see any indication it was used with permission. Even if it had been, it would still need a major overhaul, as that is not an encyclopedia article but a promotional blurb. If you want to write something in a more serious and encyclopedic form it almost certainly would not be deleted. -R. fiend 14:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

First of all, you need to avoid copyright violations. This is easily avoided by putting things in your own words, and not doing a cut/paste. It's also important that you keep the article neutral and factual. Avoid superlatives, glowing praise, and anything that really sounds like it was written by the man himself. Also try to keep an encyclopedic tone. ""Will interest rates be cut? Will the dollar fall? Which companies are headed for troubled times?" For more than 20 years Terry has provided critical analysis on these issues and a wide range of events and personalities that have shaped the nation" is not really encyclopedic. Certainly some of that information can be incorporated into the article, but not that way. Finally, it's always best to have more than one source. This is far from always done, but it helps greatly. Good luck. -R. fiend 14:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Lol. I see the prob. cool, thanks. I'll hopefully get it right next time, although this won't be for a while (with end-year exams, etc. I'm a tad busy now).ZPMMaker 07:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 13 August 1960

You can just put a speedy tag on it, and someone will be along and delete it. You have to be an admin to delete it yourself. If it keeps getting created enough times that user will probably end up blocked. You could also ask them to stop! Rx StrangeLove 00:41, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup taskforce

There are two articles on your taskforce desk (I just added the second).

The new one is Transcience of time. You listed Psychology as an interest and this is an article that the other editors aren't sure is a real psychology term or maybe misnamed. Maybe you can figure it out (the article has been moved to talk:Transcience of time. Otherwise just pass it along.

I put this here because I'm not sure everybody checks there desk as often as I do. Speaking of desks, yours doesn't have the template for the little box that tells the maximum number of open tasks you want. If you want you can tell me the number and I'll set it up for you (I'd just copy it off my desk instead of having to look for the usage details). RJFJR 01:40, 22 October 2005 (UTC)


I added the template for desk size and interests to your desk. You probably want to edit yoru interestes to be clearer. Tables of content appear when there are enough headings for it to need a table of contents, unless it is suppressed. I edited Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Loung Ung so the heading would be on that page and added a bullet in front of a comment. And I moved the taskforce notice from article to the talk page for Loung Ung. RJFJR 13:50, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
I just added your name to the list at Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Are you active? RJFJR 16:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

I read the comment you put at talk:Transcience of time. Looks good to me. Thank you for taking the time to work on this article (especially since it was mainly to prove it wasn't about anything). RJFJR 17:06, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I put it up for AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Transcience of time. RJFJR 14:36, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How to AFD

The procedure to nominate an article for deletion is at WP:AFD. Take a look through what has been nominated and how the voting is running before deciding if something should be deleted. (For instance, schools, no matter how trivial, almost never make it through AFD.)

In a few special circumstances an article can be speedied and deleted much quicker than going through AFD. The circumstances and conditions (and the procedure) are at WP:CSD (CSD is an acronym for Candidate for Speedy Deletion).

Hope that helps, RJFJR 14:16, 11 November 2005 (UTC).

Hi. Just wondering why you deleted the OneCone International article? ZPMMaker 03:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Can you provide me with a link or some context, please? Regards,  (aeropagitica)  07:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
I've found a link to the AfD : Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/OneCone_International. The article was deleted because the consensus was delete - the ten delete opinions expressed outweighed keep or comment opinions. If you had a personal stake in this article, it wasn't a personal decision. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  10:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: User talk:Thefourdotelipsis

Please try and keep a cool head, despite comments people may make against you. Personal attacks and disruptive comments will only escalate a situation; please keep calm and action can be taken against the other parties if necessary. Your involvement in attacking back can only satisfy trolls or anger contributors, and lead to general bad feeling. Please try and be civil. Thanks! (CJ) What you said on his page was unacceptable.

My apologies, I should not have removed the entire message, that was my procedural error. Nevertheless, "hey, dickhead!" isn't the nicest way to address someone on their talk page. I was not aware that you had a personal relationship, and that this was playful banter. I will restore the message ASAP, and if you have any further questions, see my talk page. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 05:49, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loung Ung (revisited)

Hey hunter, nice to meet you. A Featured Article usually becomes such after it has been reviewed by peers (Peer Review), perhaps many times, and criticisms have been addressed. Then that person who wishes to will nominate it (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates). It will then be reviewed by very critical members of the Wikipedia community. None of this occurs until those who collaborate on the article feel that it is ready, sort of a consensus, and request Peer Review. At any rate, this article is far from complete, in my opinion. There is still much to be done to bring it to FA status. If you'd like to remove the tag, go right ahead. After all, you put it there, lol :)) --RogerK 02:36, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

  • OK, will do. I will also copy this convo onto my talk page. Ta. David P. A. Hunter 02:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC).

I noticed that you have filed a TfD request for a template you created yourself. If you create an article, redirect, template, or userpage by mistake, and noone else has edited it, you can ask to have it speedily deleted under Wikipedia policy by placing {{db-author}} at the top of the page, bypassing AfD, RfD, TfD, or MfD as appropriate, which saves time. --ais523 07:29, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Dear Hunterd/f06-07,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that that you have too few edits in the main article namespace. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof. —Xyrael / 19:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

 Moderators will approve a user based upon sufficient evidence that he or she intends to use the tool in a constructive manner. While in no way a strict rule, new users with fewer than 250 mainspace edits, users who have recently been involved in edit wars, and users with a history of vandalism will generally not be accepted.

A. Hunter, esq. III Talk to me! 10:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

My history with Atlantis has been both good and bad. Unfortuately the reason that I offered the bounty is that I don't have enough Wikitime to bring the main article or the locations article to FA status. You are free to contribute to the article and I would definitely consider your contributions to the article if it is brought to FA status. Thanks! --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 14:05, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Template:User scourge

Hi, the userbox issue has been a pretty hot potato, and the acceptability of such userboxes has been very hotly debated. I realize that you of course don't really subscribe to whipping people at work, but I feel the joke is a more than a bit insensitive. We don't need to go all that far back in history to find this kind of physical abuse in several countries during the industrial revolution, and I would certainly not be surprised if this brutal practice takes place today.

I want you to compare your box to the climax of the "userbox wars". Someone created a pedophilia userbox ("This user identifies as a pedophile"), and in the aftermath which was promptly deleted. Another user decided to make a parody userbox ("OMG! This user has been attracted to underage females"), which also upset a lot of people. In the end, the fighting which took place over the userbox resulted in two users being temporarily banned and two admins winding up desysopped (three further admins had their adminship restored). The userboxes were of course meant as a joke, but it was a joke in bad taste, and a joke which offended people.

In general, there has been a consensus that userboxes which jokingly promote violence (e.g. "This user thinks pacifists make good target practice") are candidates for speedy deletion, in particular, they meet criterion T1 which Jimbo Wales himself introduced, calling for the deletion of "divisive and inflammatory templates". Several admins and users interpret this criterion very broadly, making it include userboxes which represent a religious or political belief. I personally do not subscribe to such a wide interpretation (indeed I have frequently voted to undelete userboxes which I feel were wrongly deleted), but I do feel that violence boxes (as well as some anti boxes e.g. "This user hates America") are such candidates.

In the case of the Scourge box, I originally did not delete it myself, because T1 is itself rather controversial and quite a lot of grief has arisen from admins deleting userboxes unilaterally. I therefore tagged the userbox for speedy deletion so that another admin could review it, and the speedy delete was confirmed. When you recreated the userbox, I deleted it again, having it confirmed that the box was indeed a T1 candidate. However, since most people don't bother to read userpages, I (reluctantly) decided to allow you to keep the raw code on your userpage. Also, the edit summary you used when recreating the box was... not particularily helpful, calling people "dickheads" does have a tendency to lead to a lot of hard feelings and distress. There are people behind each username, volunteers who donate time and effort to write an encyclopedia, so it's a good thing to be nice to them.

To summarize, I feel that the box you created was made as a good faith joke, but that it was insensitive, and you cannot always expect everyone to get the joke. Userboxes can sometimes be fun, but sometimes it's best to have the fun within your own userspace, and not let it spill over to the "official" namespaces such as Template.

Sorry for a long-winded response, if you have further questions feel free to ask.

Best wishes, Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:32, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the request. I am fine with it. Check with Childzy though. Also there are quite a few mottos on nominations that need transcribing. If you could help with that please do. Geo. 19:28, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

As Childzy will be out of town, I will deputize you as a Temp. Overseer until he gets back. At that time I will write a review and we will determine permanent status. Geo. 21:16, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I meant to make sure that the mottos from the old page were rearranged in the new style. Feel free to approve or reject any mottos in the Recently closed section or older than seven days without labels. To put a motto on the lists, copy it from the nomination, to allow the whole nomination to be archived. Please leave a Moved note so I dont redo it.

[edit] Huzzah!

WOW! That crazy Box set actually had some good stuff in it, didn't it?!

For your edification, the one's I've seen:

  • The Ten Commandments, fantastic, and I own it.
  • To Catch a Thief, an OK Hitchcock thriller
  • Marathon Man, a Laurence Olivier Oscar Nomination! Yay!
  • Roman Holiday, fantastic Romantic comedy from my favourite director, and actress! And I own it
  • Ben-Hur, own it. Good stuff.

You've got some films there that I've been dying to see!

  • A Place in the Sun
  • Sabrina (Audrey Hepburn goodness)
  • Chinatown (though I despise the director)
  • Love Story
  • Die Hard with a Vengance

Ooh, the tables have turned! ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 22:30, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

You're not allowed to have that. Also, check out YMDB it's awesome! I'm Raoul Hernandez on there, search for me!
Ooh! Goody. I just looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove Audrey Hepburn. Seriously. I think I have serious problems in that department. I'm scaring myself. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 09:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your signature

Hi, Just wanted to request that you shorten and change your signature line. It's currently taking up 4.5 lines in the edit window, which is quite bulky. It also contains external links, which are very strongly discouraged. Please see relevant guidelines at WP:SIG#Length and WP:SIG#External links. Thanks, and happy editing :) --Quiddity·(talk) 18:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] motto.once.more

Everything looks fine. Thanks Geo. 23:33, 8 August 2006 (UTC) Feel free to add t the schedule. Geo. 00:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] huh?

I owe you a comment since long... but this page makes me confused. Is this an archive, or am I supposed to write messages to you here? // Habj 00:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It also prevents the "User contributions" and "E-mail this user" links from showing up. Could I suggest that you put the normal talk page in its regular spot and use the 'move' function to archive your talk pages (which I presumme is the purpose behind the redirect to here)? Thanks. --Quiddity·(talk)
Happy now?!?!?!?! Your one true god is David P. A. Hunter, esq. III Talk to me! I forbade it! Join Stargate Wars! Chaos Hail OneCone International! 06:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
So I am supposed to write here. OK. If what you want to achieve is to avoid the "new have new messages"-sign, you can do so by inserting
.usermessage { display: none }
in your monobook.css. // Habj 09:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kenny (2006 film)

  • Hi! I stumbled across the article by accident, while doing some stub sorting, so I took the opportunity to fix other things that could be fixed... {{bio-stub}} is reserved for people only; films should be tagged with {{film-stub}} or any of the derived stub templates. In fact, I now see that such a template really exists: {{bio-film-stub}} - and I just edited the article accordingly... GregorB 12:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Equal Measures

Bugger. I'm sorry that it has been viewed that way, but I was just trying to add relevant details there. Equal Measures is a first season episode of Transformers: Beast Wars. I created it as part of an agrrementbetween myself and another user. Articles like Cheetor and Rattrap have large portions of material in them that are little more than episode summaries that arent really relevant to the character, so we thought it was best if we moved them to a list of Beast Wars episode synopses instead of having the useless info in the articles. Probably shouldn't do it that way in future. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.SMegatron 10:24, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I've just been trying to semi-wikify it and add details as to what it is, infobox, etc. And I get what you say about most people wanting to delete it(can't say I blame them), but its better than having random episode synopses cluttering up the page. Take a look at the differences between Optimus Primal and Cheetor for a good example. The idea was that as soon as we'd gotten that stuff into separate articles we'd clean up the articles to a higher quality. But thanks for your input and your patience. SMegatron 10:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Heh. No argument from me.SMegatron 10:46, 31 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Mayerling Incident

No worries. I had an abundance of time during that week, which I wasn't expecting, which was why I listed it with the taskforce. Like I said on the Taskforce page, now it just needs some better verification. --Kerowyn Leave a note 09:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chekov

Do you have a source for Chekov's first name? This info would be greatly apreciated. American Patriot 1776 21:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:TEST Top 20

Well, my current place is #11, with a score that brings you off limits! It's comment is that I am in serious trouble. Well, get along! I tried to plan to go for a wikibreak but, not enough time...

PS My score on the Wikipediholic Test was 3420 over...•Sean•gorter• 09:34, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Follow this link and find the template which fits - User:Sean gorter/USBX. Happy? •Sean•gorter• 09:40, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Any way, it's {{user Wikipediholic| your score}}. •Sean•gorter• 09:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, it's {{User:Sean gorter/user Wikipediholic-proud}}, which means I created it. •Sean•gorter• 09:50, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Hunterd, I changed the userbox style. Anyway, I don't think Wikipedia would accept my userbox. I tried fitting in one of them, but it got deleted. •Sean•gorter•(Talk) 01:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
Speaking of Wikipediholic test score, how come you posted your score twice on the top 20 table? AstroHurricane001 19:25, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Episode IV

Hey, yeah I actually had submitted it for FA status. But their demands are too large at the moment for me to handle while dealing with my real life at the moment. So I withdrew the nomination. Their two large demands were that the article needs a through copyedit, more references, and perhaps more information. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could copyedit the article, as I usually have three great guys to do so. One is on a wikibreak, and one just won't message me back. Would you mind if I messaged you again towards the time that I'm going to nominate the article again for FA status, just to see if you can do another run-through (if I've added more info)? The Filmaker 13:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Actually, before you do that. As a side favor, could you run over to this article Pilot (House episode) and copyedit it for me real quick. As you'll see it's very short and I'm working on it to be an FA as well (as we don't have any episode featured articles). Let me know if you have any ideas for more info I can give. The Filmaker 18:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
    • Hey, not to be a pest, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd run over that article on the House Pilot and spend the five-ten minutes to copyedit before you work on the Episode IV article as I'm done with the Pilot article right. Plus, the Pilot article won't take too long. :) The Filmaker 03:01, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
      • No offense taken. But which article are you talking about, the Pilot, or the Episode IV article? If you're talking about the Pilot, than I can see this because I'm trying to find as much information as possible. I've spent hours trying to find the original ratings for the episode when it premiered but I keep finding the ratings for the Season Three premiere. Go figure. The Filmaker 14:01, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
        • Actually IMDb is not paticularly reliable. I only use it occasionally for references. Still, no it does not carry ratings for the paticular episodes of television shows. The Filmaker 22:44, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
          • So what were you talking about with Pilot when you said you found quite a bit of information to be "omitted". I can't allow alot of the show's general information into the article as the article is specifically about the episode and not the show. This what I've been able to scrap up. Or was there something else you were thinking of when you mentioned this? The Filmaker 02:00, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biography Newsletter September 2006

The Biography WikiProject Newsletter
Volume I, no. 3 - September 2006
Project News
  • Kingboyk created a new plugin for AWB specifically for our project. You can download it to help with tagging talk pages. Support for other WikiProjects will be added gradually.
  • This month we have welcomed WikiProject British Royalty. They have joined WikiProject Biography as a child project.
  • The Core biographies workgroup have finished formulating the top 200 articles. Please help get these to FA quality!
  • If you are tagging talk pages with our template, {{WPBiography}}, please make sure you are up to date with recent changes. We have some new parameters, and the importance parameter has been deprecated (it should no longer be used). Instead, we now have a priority parameter which replaces importance and affects the workgroup articles lists only.
  • Importance and priority is currently not displayed on our worklists because of the above change and due to the bot author being on wikibreak. We hope this feature will return soon.

I'm sorry, that one with the DAY+21 and MONTH+4 isn't going to work. At least, I don't know how to fix it. Template:Tomorrow may give you some clues, however I'm stumped on February (leap days - eek!), and the MONTH+4 is impossible, because you can't add "4" to "September".

Hi, Hunterd. I notice you have an external link in your signature. The issue has come up before (with other users), and "it was decided" that external links in signatures are a bad idea, as WP:SIGN now says. Can you please remove the link from your signature? (You can, of course, display it on your user pages). Zocky | picture popups 09:39, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit Episode IV

So dude, I just got done with Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope again. So would you mind copyediting for me before I submit it for FAC? Also, if you have any suggestions for the FAC before I submit, just post them in my talk page or the article's. Thanks. :) The Filmaker 04:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

This is the only thing I think I overlooked. If you could insert this into the reaction section, between Ebert's quote and Pauline Kael's quote.
  • Vincent Canby called the film "the movie that's going to entertain a lot of contemporary folk who have a soft spot for the virtually ritualized manners of comic-book adventure."[1]
  • Hey dude, are you working on the article? I only ask because you said you only had yesterday and the day before to work on it and since you simply uploaded my quote, it implied that you didn't have anything to change in the article (which, yes, I find to be highly unlikely). I'm just a little worried as I'm having a bit of trouble getting people to copyedit for me. So if you could just drop me a message and sooth my worries, I'd appreciate it. :) The Filmaker 02:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Hello once again, dude. Could you let me know how far you are from completion. I ask because another editor is willing to work on it now, but he's aware that you are working on it. If you're not too far, I can go ahead and let him start. If you're going to be done within the next day or two, I'll have him back off till then. Let me know, and thanks. :) The Filmaker 03:33, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
      • If that's the case, I'll let you know that I've got a few ancy people who want me to submit the article for FAC. So here's what I'm thinking, Deckiller is really interested in copyediting it. So I'm going to have him copyedit and then I'll submit it for FAC. While it's up for FAC, and when you are able to copyedit at the end of the week. You can copyedit it as well, based off the version that Deckiller has come up with. For your sake, I'll give you a day to send a message and disagree. But I hope you understand, I've been trying to get a copyedit done for close to a month now. And I've been waiting on yours for two weeks. I fully understand that you have your exams to worry about, which you should over this. But because of your exams, I'm going to have Deckiller copyedit and than you can copyedit over his while it's up for FAC. How does that sound? :) The Filmaker 13:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] warn test4 User talk:129.96.234.230 re Craig Charles

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. -- Paleorthid 04:26, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Good articles Hunterd/archive has been listed as a Kick-Arse article. If you can improve it further, please do.

and the other templates? They serve no purpose and do no give any significant insight into your "assessment/review". Please do not add them to talk pages. It would be more constructive if you left a review on the article's talk page. Joelito (talk) 14:50, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] adopt me?

That would be great. PStrait 02:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] a few questions

Hey man, thanks for adopting me. How old are you btw? No offense, but your picture makes you look like you are in highschool. Nevertheless, you seem to know how to use the wikipedia format especially well, and I am struggling. A few questions came to mind:

First, how do I archive my talk page when it becomes time to do so?

Second, what software should i get to make editing easier?

Third, how do I upload pictures?

Fourth, how can I make a counter work to see how many edits I have? I have tried a few, but they failed (and now I dont even remember what they were called).

I have more questions but I don't want to burden you right now and perhaps I can figure some of it out on my own. Thanks for your help. PStrait 04:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Magicpoo

If I put a "nonsense articles" tag on their talk page, then the user must have created an article that appeared to be nonsensical. It's not showing up in that user's contribution history because it's been deleted. There's no easy way (that I know of) to determine what that deleted article was. I wasn't the only one who left a warning for Magicpoo on that date; note [1] this warning message (erroneously left on the user page instead of the user talk page).

    • I have work on Tuesday. The Phantom Menace will begin at 8:00 AM sharp on Wednesday 15 2006 AD. Bring money; pizzas will be ordered, and bring food if you feel the need. No we can not leave - the longest break will be about half an hour between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. If we can fit in something between then, we will do so. Estimated time of conclusion is circa 9:30 PM. Stop buying crap films. The marathon will work - there will be no compromise for others. Johnny knows the risks, I've more than fairly warned him. And I trust Chris. And sorry about your VOD marathon; I suppose I was just in a Futurama mood, and UKTV had recently had a VOD marathon of it's own. Maybe some other time. Questions will be allowed during this marathon, but only in moderation, and only to do with the on-screen content. I'm not inviting Gonzo because he didn't ask - all of those who are coming asked. And I'm not inviting the rest of out clicuequequeke, because I don't have the space. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 05:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
