[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for your support on my RfA. It passed with 55/0/0. I'll try my best to be worthy of the trust the community has put in me. If there are any of my actions you have a problem with or a question about, please feel free to discuss this with me and if needed to revert me. If there is anything else I can help you with (backlogs, comments, ...), you can always contact me on my talk page. Fram 14:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hergé

Murgh, my update to Hergé was marker as "(rv revision by Mapryan (talk) until sources are presented)". I'm new to Wikipedia, so could you point me in the direction of what I need to do to resolve this? Incidentally, the changes are made are direct quotes from Remi recorded in the interviews presented in the program "Tintin et Moi". Cheers Mapryan 17:41, 25 February 2007 (GMT)

Sure thing. In order to make such an edit stick, there needs to be added information within a Citation template such as Template:Cite video :
<ref name="Tintin et moi">{{cite video
 | people =
 | year =
 | title =
 | url =
 | format =
 | accessdate =
 | medium =
 | location =
 | publisher =
 | time=
}} </ref>
as in the case of the documentary you are referencing. Simply copy/paste in the "table" right after the statements and fill in the applicable Tintin et moi info. This way WP is a useful tool for research, allowing readers to verify for themselves. Hope this is helpful, cheers, MURGH disc. 18:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the example. Incidentally, where it says time=, I assume that means how many minutes into the relevant programme the quote occurred? Mapryan 18:51, 25 February 2007 (GMT)
Yes, it's the place to indicate elapsed time, or timecode if available, for a very specific citation. MURGH disc. 19:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
One last question (I hope). Can you give me an example of a page where this has been used? Be nice if I do this to try and get it right first time, so it'd be useful to see a previous example. Thanks again, Mapryan 20:29, 25 February 2007 (GMT)
Going to that template's page, you'll see on left side menu: "What links here" -> Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Cite video to a long list of articles that employ this template. To pick just 1? eh.. Matt Groening MURGH disc. 20:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I've just gone through the video and added the appropriate sections to the Wikipedia page. If you could give it a quick once-over for me that'd be much appreciated. I'll probably do a few more of these in the future related to other subjects so it'd be a good thing if I could do the right thing (if you see what I mean) Thanks Mapryan 21:02, 25 February 2007 (GMT)
That worked out nicely, just to let you know what I did to follow up: Once a reference is repeatedly used only a short reference is necessary, like this: <ref name="Tintin et moi"/> Notice it's identical to the initial ref's intro, except for the / closing the end. Also it is normal to compact the table after you're done adding info. Here's the diff[1] of what I did to polish it up. But hey, well done. MURGH disc. 21:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Cheers. Incidentally, the reason for the multiple similar tags was that the time in the video is different for each relevent quote. Is there a way to reflect that in a more shorthand way? For example, as all the rest is the same, could you say something like this? Kind Regards Mapryan 21:02, 25 February 2007 (GMT)
<ref name="Tintin et moi">{{cite video
| time= 32:23}}
That would be handy but I haven't seen any device like that. I simply altered your first ref to accomodate the subsequent ones, so it read: time= 10:20-10:40 which is a little crude but still useful. MURGH disc. 21:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks for all your help with this. Mapryan 21:37, 25 February 2007 (GMT)

[edit] Rene Goscinny

I can agree about the reference section. But in the categories you must put the surname, otherwise it'll be listed under the R of René instead of the G of Goscinny. Bye and good work. --Attilios 12:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Glad you agree. Not sure how brand new Template:DEFAULTSORT is, but it is very clever and effective, preventing what you mention there. MURGH disc. 13:44, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "previous commentator ... his criticsims"

On Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pirate Cove (webcomic) you wrote: "Furthermore the previous commentator ought to cool it with getting personal as his criticsims stands some criticism themselves." Was that directed at me? I'm the commenter right above your comment. -- Dragonfiend 05:10, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Not at all. There was an edit conflict, and I didn't change the text since you neither wrote in comment, nor was getting personal. MURGH disc. 05:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok. I took the liberty of cutting in line, so there would be no future misunderstanding. Sorry about the confusion. MURGH disc. 05:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
No problem, thanks for clearing up the confusion. -- Dragonfiend 05:58, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Commons POY 2006

I confirm vote for pic 4 from my normal en:WP account, same guy as commons:User:Murgh MURGH disc. 16:13, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Venus

Hi there, re this edit, the anon editor was probably not vandalising. Venereal is indeed an archaic adjective relating to Venus, as is Venerean. I'm not sure what version had the greater historical usage when in reference to the planet, though, so I won't think of changing your edit back. Best regards, — BillC talk 19:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes it's possible my summary was harsher than deserved, but it was nevertheless an unexplained switch of text. Had the contributor included both, (and ideally justified it in summary) I would have left it alone, but substituting and adding a joke with double entendre, the editor would need to make a better case for the change, I think. But hey, if it's important it'll reappear, hopefully better. Cheers, MURGH disc. 00:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
