[edit] Futurama/New article
Why did you create this page? It's just a direct copy of the Futurama article. --TJ Spyke 05:49, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Me and a few other people are working on it, if you look into it, it's actually quite different. --LorianTC 07:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use
Thanks, must have missed Wikipedia:Image description page#Fair use rationale in the past. What initially piqued my interest was only 2 photos have that comment, while all of them must be fair-use? Thanks/wangi 11:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- As the uploader of those 2 images it is my responsibility to do that, someone else did the rest. :) --LorianTC 12:02, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] My edit for digg
I think you might of removed a major edit I was working on for digg.com. I would like some feedback if you don't like it. Here's my subpage for it. I would like some feedback please and someone to make corrections. --Scott3 00:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- You have got lots of headings with only a line or two under each, it just looks unfinished, you need to combine them together. --LorianTC 08:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] You consider the statements in the "reference" sections for Futurama episodes to be "facts"?
Do tell. See my comment in Talk: for Space Pilot 3000. Also take a look at the reference section, please. SBHarris 16:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- How is Space Pilot 3000 a reference to Mystery Science Theater 3000 apart from the number? All the others are obvious references. --LorianTC 17:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Other than the fact that the gold and red block print for MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 and the block gold and red block print for the poster FUTURAMA SPACE PILOT 3000 look very much alike, and the fact that Matt Groenig was a fan or MST3000 (according to the wiki) and that there are many other homages to it in Futurama and the Simpsons, well, I guess not. Probably all just a giant coincidence. SBHarris 20:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh, yeah, and perhaps you could explain (from the existing Wiki references page):
- Fry's narrative is similar to the narrative that typically appears in Star Trek.
- In the ruins of Old New York, the Chrysler Building is lying on the ground. This may be a reference to the film Armageddon, in which the top half of the Chrysler Building is broken off by a meteor.
No references for either. Not mine. Here it looks like I'm missing the obvious. Chrysler building ruined both places. Ahhhhh. Hmmmm. SBHarris 20:37, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
- I have Space Pilot 3000 in my watch list, I haven't really looked through the article, I just saw your unsourced statement and got rid of it. You can put it back if you want, I'm not that bothered. --LorianTC 20:50, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Gracias! SBHarris 22:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not vandalism
Hi, this wasn't vandalism; ellisjm requested a name change. --JD[don't talk|email] 15:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, I just like using popups too much. Sorry. --JD[don't talk|email] 15:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I tried popups, I hated up, they kept coming up when I didn't want them... --LorianTC 15:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
But that's what's so good about them! --JD[don't talk|email] 15:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- You're right, that really is a lame reply...
- How does that make them good? --LorianTC 15:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
When they appear on an article I wouldn't have read, it makes me want to read it if the first paragraph looks interesting. Plus, I reckon the practical uses of it far outweigh any inconveniences and popups that just pop up for the sake of it, which isn't all that many for me. --JD[don't talk|email] 15:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable, but it's still annoying, so I'm not going to use it. :p
- To be completely off topic, this page states each person should have their own indentation level in a conversation, like on here. It seems to me that very few people know about it so talk pages with long discussions go really far out then someone decided to go back to the left margin again. I think you should try to stick to that, it looks better. :) --LorianTC 15:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
This page says different, and I always thought it made more sense as well. --JD[don't talk|email] 16:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Is it just me who finds there are too many Help/Wikipedia pages here? Nevertheless, this way looks better. --LorianTC 16:09, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
lol the amount of pages doesn't really matter, but if I'm not mistaken, it would appear we've encountered a self-wikicontradiction... --JD[don't talk|email] 16:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Looks like it, though it's not that important, they're only talk pages... --LorianTC 16:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, true. I think I'll continue writing on talk pages the way I already do, as it helps see the conversation and how it maps out, who replied to what and etc. You mind at all? --JD[don't talk|email] 16:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- Neh, it's not my place to tell people how to layout conversations on talk pages, except on my own talk page of course. ;) --LorianTC 16:18, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
lol Okay then. --JD[don't talk|email] 16:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BB7
Lorian, I can see you you're very keen to shape the presentation of the BB7 article and talk page. But you're either being puritanical (WP is not censored) or mistaking a link to an external site on a talk page that directly concerns one of the participants in BB as "advertising". If theres some kind of referral in the link it isn't anything to do with me and could be edited out rather than deleted. I come across a fair amount of interesting edits while discharging my duties on WP, this is the second time I've noticed you've been a bit OTT on BB7. Maybe chill out a bit? If you want to ban links to commercial sites which illustrate a given subject (very different to advertising, IMDb is a commercial site, for example) that would require a policy change. Thanks. Deizio talk 22:09, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the link because an article talk page is for discussing the article, not posting links that are kind of ralated to the subject. From this page: "talk about the article, not about the subject". Anyway, what's the first thing where I have been OTT? --LorianTC 22:15, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] About Michael's Picture
On List of Big Brother housemates (UK series 7) the picture of Michael still shows empty for me. I don't know what the problem could be - all the rest show fine. --Alex9891 (talk) 13:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- What do you mean it shows empty? Is there an empty box the size of the image? --LorianTC 13:49, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
No, it's an empty thin box with "Michael in the garden" in it. I've also tried the image page, but there is just nothing there. Really weird. --Alex9891 (talk) 13:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Status changing thing
I know it's none of my business, but if you only removed your status thing because you forget to change it, you may be interested in this. When it's set up, it puts three buttons on the page next to the logout button; and they can be used to change your status. --JD[don't talk|email] 22:33, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
