[edit] Adoption

Hello, Giantdevilfish! I see that you have expressed an interest in being adopted by an experienced editor. I accept your request, being an experienced editor myself. Whether you want to learn about wiki markup, find something to do, or just talk to somebody, I'm the one you can talk to - just leave a message on my talk page. Good luck with Wikipedia! --Daniel Olsen 05:49, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] King Kong

Hi, I noticed you made an edit to King Kong (1933 film) which named the dinosaur as an Elasmosaur, and referenced the book The Making of King Kong. This is really good because we have discussing for a long time that none of the dinosaurs listed in the Wikipedia article have a source, it has just been peoples "best guess". If you happen to own the book, do you know if "The Making of King Kong" mentions any other dinosaurs by name? Does it say anything more about the Elasmosaur? Thanks! -- Stbalbach 14:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quebec Bulldogs

Hi, I noticed from User talk:RGTraynor page that you know a lot about the history of the Quebec Bulldogs. I've been trying to find what home arenas they played and some information on the arenas (seating capacity, opened/closed dates, etc). From Total Hockey 2, they say they played at the Quebec Skating Club Rink starting in 1891, but don't give a closing date. In the sports encyclopedia page, it states they played in the original Colissee de Quebec starting in 1910. Do you know which is correct? Do you have information on either or both venues? Thanks in advance for any help! Patken4 15:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

From what I gathered, Quebec played at the Quebec Skating Rink from 1891-1912/13. They then moved into the Quebec Arena where they played from 1913/14-1919/20. There was never an original Colissee. It was built in the 1950's and renovated in the 1980's. I'm not sure where they played prior to 1891.Giantdevilfish 19:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I want to tell about My Wiki

Hey,Giantdevilfish do you remember me from the Ike! Greenman and Yuke! Godman talk pages? I want to tell that I create a Toho Wiki called WikiToho. It's still on the request page and please join and bring some of your friends to comment.Kongsaurus12 21:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Click on this,request a wikia site and search for WikiToho and comment about it. I also have a Tsuburaya one called Tsuburaya Wiki just type it in.Kongsaurus12 01:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] King Kong vs. Godzilla

First, I added the note because whether it is called "trivia" or "notes", a section that consists entirely of disparate facts is not considered encyclopedic by the Wikipedia. Please read WP:TRIV to get some idea of why these sections are not a good idea. While naturally all the information in the notes section should be factual, so should all content, even that marked trivia. But it is better to find a place to integrate these facts into the main body of the article, rather than list them as "trivia" or "notes". For example, much of the information in KKvG's "notes" section could be moved into a section called "Production". Another section called "Reaction" could cover a lot more. Then, perhaps a segment on its "Legacy". You see what I'm getting at?

Secondly, for some reason, you placed your note to me in one of my Archive pages. Leaving messages there will not result in my getting a notice of a new message. Be sure to put messages on the main talk page in the future and not inside an archive. Rhindle The Red 23:48, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I have now implemented changes more in line with what I was talking about. Take a look and you'll see what kind of adjustments are needed to remove trivia sections. Rhindle The Red 13:38, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't see a clear place for that quote. If you see a good place for it, go ahead and put it back in. Rhindle The Red 17:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
