[edit] Buffyverse stuff
Buffy the Vampire Slayer under peer review
Hiya, keep up the great work you've been doing during the past weeks on the Buffy articles. Have you ever considered joining Wikiproject Buffyverse?
I'm just letting people know that 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is currently under peer review at Peer review/Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm hoping it might one day become a featured article. So any comments on how it might be improved upon would be apprecitated. Thanks. -- Paxomen 18:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Hola - just wanted to tell you that I think your work on buffyverse stuff is great! You have a great eye for editing and your input is insightful! Tambourineman 23:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Cheers dude. Also I've been spreading the word: following the peer review, I have now nominated the article to be a featured article, with a view to getting it on the front page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997). Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hey there. If you get a sec, check back by the Faith page, the Buffy section (under relationships). I did some work to clean up the recent edits like you suggested, let me know if you think it is improved or not on the right track. . . Riverbend 22:10, 11 October 2006 (UTC).

| You have single-handedly improved the respectability of Wikipedia's Buffyverse articles by working hard to improve language and remove unsubstantiated rumours/opinions (all the while providing useful edit summaries). Well done! -- Paxomen 02:54, 13 November 2006 (UTC) |
- Woo! Thanks! --Nalvage 03:11, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Buffy/Angel Episode Guide Copyright
Hiya, since you have been involved in recent discussions about episode summaries, you maybe interested to know I have left a comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Buffyverse# Episode Guide Copyright about this issue. Find that comment in full below:
-
- I'm extremely puzzled and disappointed by this whole situation. I contacted BuffyGuide through the contact page (http://www.buffyguide.com/mail/contact.shtml) to ask whether they were interested in sharing the short summaries on Wikipedia. I offered to create a ghost account called 'BuffyGuide.com' which would represent the site and respect its work (since this was not allowed by Wikipedia because of the'.com' I created 'BuffyGuide'). I did this with premission and agreement because I told the web master that I did not deserve credit for adding these summaries to Wikipdeia when the much harder work was their creation. My workplace blocks access to email right now, but I'm sure I will still have those emails detailing our correspondence over this issue. I have explained the situation to the user, Actual BuffyGuide here, hopefully this whole situation will be cleared up, because to be honest I am very confused as to why I was told that using the summaries would be fine after contacting the site and now Actual BuffyGuide is stating that material has been used without permission? I will find those emails later when I have access to my email, and also email the web master again to find out what is going on?

- Similarly, I contacted AnGeL X through her email at http://www.angelicslayer.com/angelsoul/main.html, about the use of synopses, and she generously allowed their use on Wikipedia. Once again I offered to setup an account, AnGeL X to make it clear I had not written these synopses, but they had come from the web site, angelicslayer.com. - Paxomen 10:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not Fade Away
Just looked up the words in Buddy Holly's song and it looks like he's singing about a romantic relationship. Doesn't the MacArthur reference make better sense because the team in "Angel" are soldiers in a war against Wolfram and Hart?
- Hi Nitron. I think you're right, that it does make more sense... I only removed it because without anything verifiable to say it's referencing MacArthur, it's probably best if we don't take a guess one way or the other. Perhaps it's a combination of both, the sentiment of the MacArthur comment, with the exact title of the song. We can't say for sure.--Nalvage 21:23, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Question about tenses
Hola! i have a question. character bios are in literary present tense (or should be), but what about stuff like Relationships? Some are currently in present, some are in past. I would think that they should all be in the present, but I am not really sure. Do you know for sure? And congrats on the star above - you definitely deserve it! Whenever I see one of your changes pop up on my watchlist, I know that you have definitely just made something better. I have learned a heck of a lot about wikirules and stuff from seeing your changes and reading your edit summaries. Well done dude, as usual. Riverbend 22:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Riverbend. Regarding the correct tense, allow me to demonstrate how well-earned that star was by stepping in heroically and saying, "Dunno". It's something of which I was uncertain when I made various tense-related changes, so I stopped short of altering those other sections, but yeah, like you I suspect it should all be in present tense. I checked the Wikipedia style guidelines for writing about fiction, and although there's much chat on the subject of tenses in the archives of the Talk Page, there's nothing detailed in the guidelines themselves, as far as I could see. I'd suggest making the changes if you're inclined, or I might have a blitz on them sometime. (and I don't mind you saying "hell" on my page ;))--Nalvage 22:50, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
