[edit] Charmed broadcasters and DVD releases

Greetings. Regarding the above article, please do not add local broadcasters like your Fox44 station to the page. There are many many local affiliates that air syndicated reruns of Charmed; moreso, this article is concerned with stations that currently air the show, not ones that used to, as your entry seems to describe. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 19:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fox 44 Broadcast Information

Hi. I removed your edits to both Veronica Mars and Supernatural (TV series) concerning broadcasts on Fox 44. I didn't do so as an attempt to harass you; they both are just articles that I watch. I did so because I believe that local broadcasting fail to meet Wiki guidelines on notability. More importantly, they are clearly prohibited in WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a directory, which states (emphasis mine):

  • "Wikipedia articles are not: Directories, directory entries, a TV/Radio Guide or a resource for conducting business."

While scheduled airings on the major network timeslots in domestic and international markets are notable and encyclopedic, local timeshifts for dual-affiliate networks, even in markets that service major cities, just aren't appropriate content, nor are they notable, IMO. I ask that you not add back the information without first getting a consensus on the Talk page of each article, individually, since it will most likely get reverted out due to the policies and guidelines I highlighted above. I hope you understand. Thanks. - Debuskjt 19:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Charmed Season 7 DVDs

Thanks for that, it allowed me to convert the existing cite to a non-retailer site, which is always preferable. TVShowsOnDVD is an excellent resource. -- Huntster T • @ • C 02:21, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Lol, I meant that I replaced a previously added citation that linked to a retail site with the site you provided. It is always better when possible to use a citation to a neutral website (such as TVShowsOnDVD) so that it does not appear that wikipedia is favouring a particular retailer. Also, remember that when you comment on talk pages you should sign your message with ~~~~ (four tildés) so that your nickname and timestamp will appear, just like this one --> "-- Huntster T • @ • C 01:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)"

[edit] Re: Wiki aide

You mean to sign comments on talk pages? Okay, just place the ~~~~ immediately after your comment. Just look at how I sign my comments: not on the next line, but directly after the last word of my comment. The four tildés are important, so that both your name and the timestamp are included. -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's perfect! Also, remember you don't have to start a new section for every post you make. You can simply hit "edit this page" at the top and scroll to where the conversation is taking place, or hit "edit" next to the section you want to add something to. This helps keep the conversation flowing. When you do this, use a semi-colon (:) in front of your message to indent it (like this post is); you can use more than one to indent several spaces. Take a look at various talk pages and you'll see what I mean. This is also useful for conversation organization. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 06:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just a note...

Hey, saw your edit at Charmed multimedia. I called it different from Region 1, as the original production is based in Region 1, rather than one of the others. Just as if a DVD was produced in Britain, everything would be different from Region 2. Also, grammatically speaking, I don't think you should use a word twice in the same sentence to mean the same thing (which is why I used 'alternate' in place of 'different'). Remember to do a quick check of recent edit summeries, to see if a reason is given for edits. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 03:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

And upon re-reading what I originally wrote, it should have been "changed *from* their Region 1 releases". Oi. -- Huntster T • @ • C 03:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Australia cover art

Slight problem here. Just because Australia has the same cover as Germany means nothing...they have always had the same covers. It is the United States which features different covers, so until the US image is released, we won't know if region 1 will look different from regions 2, 4, etc. I'm going to revert the page for this reason.

Btw, I'm just about to get to sleep (worked midnight), but I'll be on AIM if you want to chat this evening. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 16:58, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't get your message until now, after I changed it a second time. I doubt we will get a different cover for Season 8 in Canada/USA. Only odd seasons have changed. And isn't just Australia, The Netherlands too now.


The cover is left noted as German because the text on the image is German. Please do not revert the article again. The warning was voted on. Until reliable information comes that says that the covers will not be the same for region 1, we will have a disclaimer. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 00:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
It does not matter if they have the same cover as the german one. They are the same region, naturally they have the same cover. The note still remain valid as the cover shown is GERMAN. no matter how you look at it. The text is written in GERMAN. If you tried to sell it anywhere else they would have no clue wtf it said because it is written in GERMAN! And there is still no proof what so ever that Region 1 will have the same cover. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 03:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVD Releases

Do not remove the sentence "At this time, it is unknown if Season 8 will feature different covers for different regions." from Charmed broadcasters and DVD releases again. You have no source to prove that it will not be different for the Region 1 release, 3 countries in the same region having the same cover is not proof that all regions will have the same cover. No information has been reveled about its release. If you continue to remove the statement, you will be blocked from editing wikipedia. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 03:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't worry about it Mal, I'm taking care of this. The sentence itself is unnecessary given the caption below the image for s8. Also, do not make threats of this nature as you are not an admin and this is a good faith edit (aka, not vandalism). It is considered uncivil. Let's stop this now before 3RR is broken. -- Huntster T • @ • C 03:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)


Thanks Hunster for your support. Btw, what's 3RR? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Robinepowell (talk • contribs) 03:37, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

3RR is the three-revert rule. Read up! -- Huntster T • @ • C 12:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
It doesnt matter if i am an admin or not. She removed a section of text(numerous times) that was decided on on the articles talk page, that is considered vandalism. Even after asking her to stop changing it she still continued to change it, therefor it is vandalsim, and i can very well give her a warning for it. As the picture is now no longer the german one, the note about it being the german edition can be removed. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 13:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Goodness someone's getting themselves all worked up. Lol! I provided Hunster with two other links for coverart and he decided to use Australia. I've also changed the wording at the that say "different covers for different regions" to "different cover for Region 1".


[edit] References

Please do not remove the reference section from articles as you did to Brian Krause here. It is considered vandalism and could get you blocked from editing. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 04:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


Please stop. If you continue to remove reference sections from articles (as you did here) you will be blocked from editing. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 05:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

No, you are not removing the word references, you are removing the wikicode that places the references there( <references \>). Doing this will not allow references to be listed. Currently there is only one reference but it still needs to be listed. Also when leaving a comment on a users talk page please sign your comments using 4 tildes (~~~~) --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 05:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The section you are removing is for REFERENCES. they are used to cite things in the article. If you remove the section again I will bring this to WP:ANI and let an admin settle this. --Malevious Userpage •Talk Page• Contributions 05:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

 You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule at Brian Krause. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

| Mr. Darcy talk 05:49, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

And just to be clear, removing the <references/> tag from any article is completely unacceptable. Verified content is a core part of what we do at Wikipedia. There is no justification for removing all references from an article as you have been doing - none. | Mr. Darcy talk 05:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Responding to your email - you've been blocked for 24 hours; you can still edit this talk page to discuss the matter with others or to request an unblock; and I reviewed your edits before blocking you and found you to be in violation of WP:3RR. Your version of the page has an empty references section. You can't revert a page more than three times in 24 hours except in rare cases, such as to combat obvious vandalism, and none of those exceptions applies here. | Mr. Darcy talk 06:03, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
You asked via email: Also I tried to removed the whole entire "Reference" section but Malevious almost had a fit! So can I or can I not remove the whole section tittle "References"? The link to NNDB.com isn't needed twice. It is already under "Links". No, you can not remove it. I don't know how much clearer we can be on this one. The References section (sometimes called Notes or Footnotes) is a critical part of any article, and removing it on style grounds is never acceptable.
Also, to revert an article means to undo another editor's edits and return the article to a previous state. You were warned above that reverting an article more than three times in a 24-hour period would lead to a block, and you reverted Brian Krause four times yesterday. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:08, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I would also like to add that removing the "Reference" section is a form of vandalism, though you may not have intended to act like a vandal. The "Reference" section is the article's "Bibliography" or "Works Cited" section found in any academic research paper. The "External links" section, however, is for links to additional or more detailed information on the subject, but the links may or may not be used by the Wikipedia article. If you want to remove duplicate external links, then it's better to remove the link from the "External links" section instead. But even that should be treated with much caution. --TheFarix (Talk) 17:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Holland

Hey Robin, where'd the data from Holland come from? I'm at work right now, but I'll attempt to locate the other dates when I'm clear. -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charmed Multimedia

Hi there. To explain the situation, in the citation, the title field is not a descriptive phrase, it is the title of the article you are citing from. In this case, it is "Season 8 Release Month!", which is what I changed it to. As to the External links section, the link that was there was a link to *all* of the Charmed article on TVShowsonDVD, not just season 7. There really is no reason to put links to each individual season, as they are accessable just as easily from that main page. Cheers! -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 7th Heaven Family Tree

  • I fixed it. A vandal had edited the page before you see here and was never reverted. But the problem is now gone. the line extending to Ruthie, Sam, and David, i don't know how to fix. -AMK152(Talk • Contributions • Send message) 20:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
