[edit] List of Revolution games

I wanted to ask that you comment on Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/List of Nintendo Revolution games, now that I've improved the list to disclude rumors. -- A Link to the Past 05:01, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Giant Panda revert

Would you care to explain the "edit summary-less" revert in Giant Panda? Thanks. --Ragib 01:30, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Joint VFD nominations

There are probably several ways of nominating several articles for a joint VFD. The best way is to settle on a title for the debate, and then type in to the 'Search' box on the left of the screen: "Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/" then follow it with your title and press return. This will bring up a screen saying "No page with this title exists". Then click on the red link "create an article with this title". At the top of the page put "===(your title)===" then list the pages which are being nominated and the reasons you want them deleted. When you're finished, sign with the usual four tildes.

Now you need to put the VFD nomination on each of the articles in turn. Navigate to the first, and click on 'edit this page', then add "{{subst:vfd}}" at the top. Save the page, and then click on 'edit this page' again. At the top will be the coding for the VFD box, complete with a sentence reading "Please vote on and discuss the matter. See '''[[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/{{PAGENAME}}|this article's entry]]''' on the Votes for Deletion page.". Go up to this sentence and replace 'PAGENAME' with your title. Then copy the whole of the box, down to the point where the article text begins, into your clipboard and save the page again.

Now go to each of the other articles to be nominated, and edit the page, then paste the clipboard on to them and save page. When you are completed, go to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion and click on the most recent day's log, click on edit this page, and add at the bottom "{{Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/(your title)}}". Then click on save page, and you're done. David | Talk 12:22, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Crime and Punishment

With all due respect, 'Crime and Punishment' has some blatant references and watching it from beginning to end about half a dozen times i counted about 9 references from car stickers to carnival rides. The themes are way to similiar for it to be a coincedence. For instance

1) Dostoyevsky. Trevor puts down Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot." The word "idiot" comes from the term for someone with epsilepsy, and epilepsy is kind of what The Idiot is centered around (Dostoyevsky had epilepsy). Dostoyevsky also wrote Crime and Punishment, which is not only refered to in the Route 666 on a door but is also basically what this movie's about. Reznik=Raskolnikov. Crime and Punishment details how the actual psychology of a criminal causes him to punish himself moreso than any police can. In this case it gave him severe insomnia until he finally turned himself in.

2) In Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov is given the option to give himself up three times. The third he does so. In this film, Reznik has three forks he comes to... the first time he turns left, the second time he turns left, and the third time he turns right. Each one is made quite clear the options: Hell/Salvation, Darkened area/Light area, The Airport (escape)/Downtown (the police).

3) The Airport: he's there often talking about "If I want to leave." In Crime and Punishment, Raskolnikov struggles with whether he wants to leave or not. He asks for a girl to go with him, and she eventually does, which reflects Reznik's relationship with the prostitute Maria (both female characters are ladies of the night).

4) The theme of 'suffering for salvation' is very obvious, i wont insult your intelligence you know what i mean

5) There are too many references to Crime and Punishment for this too not to be simply 'influenced', it seems almost 'intentional' and could perhaps be a modern take on Crime and Punishment (think about Romeo and Juliet the classic version compared to the modern version with gun fights). The cat and mouse policeman being Ivan Miller and the chance of 'getting caught' is comparable to the 'hangman' parallel. There is a sense of paranoia and 'the world's out to get me' feeling in the movie

if this does not convince you and you decide to edit it back then we will settle this on the discussion page. good day--Raddicks 20:23, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

I guess thats a more fitting effort cheers, i will update The Machinist page tomorrow with the theme analysis (I didn't read through the machinist on wikipedia and yes it can be mentioned). Take care --Raddicks 23:47, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Looking for an honest opinion

I'm working on the article motorized bicycle. I created a timeline. It is nominated for deletions. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion of the subject either at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of Motorized bicycle history or on my user talk page. Thank you. (p.s.: love the some of your categories, I stole you idea and put some on my user page.) --CyclePat 01:50, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Church of Reality Censorship

So how do you explain that people here are deliberately claiming the the Church of Reality has only one member when it's clearly not true.


[edit] Aqua teen hunger force

Hello do you know when aquateen hunger force is on, who created it, and how many seasons there are Whopper 02:47, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Do you know if they are going to have that 3-d show they promised for 2006? Whopper 23:24, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of anti-heroes

I just want to inform you that the article List of anti-heroes was deleted today after being listed on VfD. I am not sure if you knew it was listed or not, or if you care or not. I felt, since you had participated as a contributor on the article that you should know. If you want to know more about the status of the now deleted article, I have made a post in Wikipedia:Deletion review. If you don't want to know more, please disregard this message. sincerely, Kingturtle 21:41, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Home Movies

Good call on Ron Lynch's job, I had forgotten he only became interim principal partway through... —alxndr (t) 04:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] There's Something About Mary

Well, I admit I smiled when I noticed the change you made to that. With a line like that it deserves a reference, do you happen to remember where you found that? --Alf melmac 23:40, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder: "they" and "their" are plural

This is just a friendly reminder that the words "they" and "their" are plural, not singular. You can not use those words to refer to a single person, nor can you use them with a singular pronoun such as "someone". Please keep this in mind in the future. Thank you. 4.89.240.235 16:57, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page deletion

This was the content of the page: "wow". Nothing more has ever been written. Hopefully this won't be missed too much, and I could restore it if you really felt this was improper, but I assure you I don't delete relevant discussion ever when the article still exists. Harro5 22:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The proper solution to a sourcing problem

re: Jon Stewart: The proper solution to a sourcing problem, if you know of the sources required, is not to simply revert someone asking for sources, but to add them yourself. But nevermind, I've just done your job for you. Kasreyn 22:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tyler James Williams

WHY did you remove that addition. He is an actor. It's not vandalism to put it in there. An article exist there for him. - TripleH1976 08:41 p.m., 07 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Are you ready to have your world rocked by Wikipedia!?


[edit] TfD nomination of Template:Blue Collar Comedy

Template:Blue Collar Comedy has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. Jesuschex 02:46, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:82.3.252.5

re: your note on this user's talk page referring to the deleton of his/her links to "non-existent articles" - the links he/she has added are perfectly valid and are highly relevant to the subjects; as you are Canadian you may not be aware that the FASC (Fame Academy Supporters Club) is a popular and well respected site in the UK for those interested in the Fame Academy series and contains reliable biog information, press reports and photos, also up to date information about all the former contestants. (Whether the links should be added in addition to those already there may be debatable, however they should not be deleted solely for the reason you specified) - Thanks. Jud 00:46, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The user was going to non-existent articles, going to the talk page, and putting up a single link, which means that the talk pages would be deleted shortly after. If you'd bothered to check the actual articles before criticizing the message I left you'd see I did not remove those links and instead referred to edits which have since been deleted. If there's anything else you don't understand, let me know. --TM 01:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

In that case we must be talking at cross purposes, as there is now no evidence of those links to non-existent articles - I did check the edits made by this user and the only contributions listed are the ones I mentioned above. Jud 12:35, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I did check the deletions log file on the unknown user's contributions page and have I also just looked at the deletions log as you suggested, and I still can't find the entry you mention, so I am now even more confused! (If you re-read my original comment you will see that it was not meant as a criticism, but merely as a point of information :)) Jud 21:32, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

This is really weird - the only entries in the log that I can see for that time and date are these

21:44, August 11, 2006 Vegaswikian (Talk | contribs) deleted "North Kent Community Church" (db nn group)

21:44, August 11, 2006 TheProject (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Wbgs.JPG" (CSD I3)

Can't find it in the list of Xaosflux's contributions either. How is it possible to have a talk page for an article that doesn't exist? Jud 22:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation - I am not questioning your veracity, I just can't see any of the entries on my computer (I'm using Firefox) Just out of interest I followed your link in IE as well and got a completely different list...

- but I still can't see any of the deleted articles in question! (I know it isn't really important, but it still irks me!) Jud 08:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


Suppose we'll just have to put it down to Wikipedia weirdness! Jud 12:15, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jude the Obscene

Hi. Thanks for providing a source so quickly. Like you, I’m not sure that it’s a good a source as we’d like—but it’s better than we get in most of our articles. Cheers —Ian Spackman 22:16, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Anti-heroes

I really like the note you added to the list of anti-heroes. Doczilla 01:27, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
