[edit] Thanks for the TSA rewrite
Hey, thanks for doing all that work on the Transformation Story Archive page. I've always held off of doing any major editing there out of conflict of interest, but you dug up references for it that I'd completely forgotten about and did a way better job than I could have. Even if it still gets deleted I'm definitely saving a history dump of it, hooray GFDL! :) Bryan 18:15, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Greatly appreciated, Bryan. Ironically, I'd never been a reader, and knew of the site only by reputation via college friends a decade ago. I've taken this article's rewrite and hopefully recovery as an ostrich-busting challenge! Serpent's Choice 07:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
- I'll add my thanks to Bryan's -- that's a major improvement, a good job both of research and writing. --Jim Henry 21:35, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
To show my appreciation at somehow managing to make the TSA article good enough to warrant a straight-out "keep" from an AfD I was initially pretty sure would wind up delete, and in the process for digging up facts and references for it that even I wasn't aware of, I figured I should give you this Barnstar. Thanks again! :)

I don't know who wrote Serpent's choice, but I've never read such an arrogant and poor article. You have know idea what you are talking about in reference to my writing. My wife is a degreed journalist and I have a Ph.D. in English common Law. So, how have you the audacity to say my work is poor and should be deleted. I am an expert grammatist and writer.
[edit] Fixing 2nd nom. links
Thank you very much. I was having a spot of bother trying to get it right. Cheers. L0b0t 14:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Au revoir, les enfants merge
I merged the information from the screenplay page's infobox as it was unique. Good idea for the merge, though...
[edit] RFD Closures
If you ever have an occasion to close another RFD in the future, please remember that you need to remove the {{rfd}} from the redirect. I've taken care of the one on William weasley. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 12:31, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. There can be a lot of details to remember with some tasks. -- JLaTondre 12:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book of Vile Darkness images need fair use rationale.
The article will fail automatically if this is not fixed. --SeizureDog 10:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did you know?

On 3 December 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Public Netbase, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page. |

[edit] Re : Submitting recreation/rebuild effort for comment
Now this is very interesting. I'll have a look later and give you a reply. Remind me if I don't. ;) - Mailer Diablo 03:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My answers
Hey there Serpent's Choice. I'm currently in the process of answering the questions on my page, and hope to wrap things up this morning over the next few hours as time permits. I just wanted to let you know that I have every intention of answering them, and will understand if you wish to keep your oppose in light of this personal delay.

[edit] Redirect to Meher Baba
Hi Serpent's Choice, I just wanted you to know that the new stub Cott12 started on Perfect Master (Meher Baba) was meant to cover an issue that the peer reviewer of the Meher Baba article mentioned, i.e. that the link to Perfect Master leads to a disambiguation. So we were trying to resolve this problem by offering in the disambiguation a link to the specific topic as used in Meher Baba's philosophy. We have also experimented to put explanations as a note after the first mention of the term Perfect Master, but it looked like a footnote in the middle of the article. Can you please explain (I mean beyond the short notice you gave in the edit summary) why you think a redirect should send one back to the article? I mean one will click on Perfect Master and will be given the very article he is clicking from... ? Hoverfish 07:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Actually the main article doesn't give any explanations on the definition of Perfect Master, which is why we were advised to do so. I have also looked in satguru for linking directly there, but one would have to read through a lot and still not be sure of the precise definition (as used by Baba). Qutub would also be a possibility, but articles on Sufism are closely related to Islam, where Baba's definition is not generally accepted and might be even ferverently disputed. So we decided for this arternative. You can also look here, if you wish to know more about our related discussion: User talk:Cott12#Perfect Master. What seems to have happened is that it Cott12 started the stub for me to expand, when I had already logged out for the night. Given some time we would add the necessary verifiable content to the new stub and yes, there are references we can give. I know what you mean with stubs. I am quite active in Film WikiProject and we have tons of stubs to deal with. No problem with BRD. Hoverfish 08:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for the tip on stub sorting! I didn't even know such cats existed. Will let you know when we have it ready, glad you find it of interest. Hoverfish 08:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

- I know you may have a watch on it, but since you asked me, I note here that we have now something worth a page and the "under work" template was removed. Hoverfish 14:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Blind Pig
The article fails to explain why this fictional universe is a useful inclusion to an encyclopedia. --Peta 03:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
- I saw through the list of sources, I'm somewhat concerned with the quality of it. Ursa Major Awards is itself tossed on AfD. We may rely on Transformation Story Archive in this case, unfortunately I'm not an expert in this field to determine how reputable it is, so it'd be great if you are able to continue looking for more sources (perhaps the news media?). You may stand a reasonable chance for the article to stand on re-creation, but I'd best recommend that you go through deletion review to establish your case. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 06:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bookofvile.jpg
I see you orphaned the image I added. The problem is that the one from WOTC that you added is not the actual cover that the book came out with. All print editions of the book came out with the "mature content" warning on the cover and that's not in the pic from the website. --Energman 14:52, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
