[edit] List of Washington State Routes

Just wanted to let you know that the article has been protected for now. Hopefully the naming dispute can be resolved. Thanks. .:.Jareth.:. babelfish 07:56, 21 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Hey, thanks, man, for noticing

Travis, this is Professor Paul. Thank you for noticing my "Wiki-work."  :) To me, Wikipedia is "recreation." May as well enjoy what you do, I always say. What was it that you liked? And, I am not finished with those articles yet. Take care. 02:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to List of Washington State Routes

I am currently anticipating the rest of the design in the state route log (current + decommissioned) pending a design review which is taking place at List of Routes in Vermont . Pending the outcome of that, to which a table variant is used, I proposed three designs. You can see them here. Please discuss the design at List of Routes in Vermont, since I am aiming for readability and navigatability to not only "roadgeeks", but to all users per WP:MS. Thanks!

I just listend to that video and it does to me strongly imply he is an agent.. i'm gona see if i can find a clear shot of his badge as well.

[edit] Colouring

Hey could you give your opinion on colour at this page here ? Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 16:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey could you have a look at the template above as i do not wish to violate 3RR and a guy keeps reverting. Also both parts of Gone where given different prod. #s which is what makes them seperate :P! Matthew Fenton (Talk | Contribs) 07:40, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: The 4400

What do you think of my recent changes? MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 22:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, i think ive sorted the caption: see -> The Home Front (The 4400 episode) (Would you say thats ok caption size?) and about the text.. i'll see if i can find a darker colour or maybe just use black text :P MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 16:21, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
PS: About the episode numbering thing.. yea sounds like a better idea :-) MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 16:23, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
PSS: Also see Template:The 4400 episode; I've darkend the text a bit more, do you think i should make it some more dark? MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 16:24, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, The numbering is done :-) (So it says now: 3.01 etc ;)) -- If you like the darker text ill implement it on the other tpl as well ;-) (i might be able to get it slightly darker) MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 16:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, Implemented captions properly and the darker text :-)! MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 16:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Just a note; Shouldnt promicin be spelt with a cap. P? as its a name? I'm not sure tho im crap to spelling etc :P MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 18:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
When we know more about promicin do you think we should give it an article as well, what do you think? MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 18:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Ahh i see ;) MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 19:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Haspel

Sure; I'll get around to taking some today and making it better ;-)

Also i've got a few ideas for promicin thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 07:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Made some minor edits today, i think its slightly better and also added 2 pics. You know what i think? We should start a 4400 WikiProject hehe :-P! thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 18:41, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template inclusion

Noinclude makes it be present in the prototype (Template:) but not when it is in transcluded somewhere else. Includeonly makes it not present in the prototype, only when it is transcluded elsewhere. —Centrx→talk • 05:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lookig good :)

The 4400 pages are starting to look pretty good , what do you think :)? thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 08:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Yup :-), I'm going to start writing full episode synopsises i hope in time for s4 premiere. thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 09:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Hi great work in a short time ;-), i hope you dont mind but im going to replace your screencap as it doesnt have the dimensions of the other ones (It's WS and the others are SS) also you know when you upload caps for the episodes could you use my summary template that includes a FUR etc so we can keep consistency :P
{{subst:User:MatthewFenton/copyright|The 4400|List of The 4400 episodes|YOURUSERNAME|YOURREALNAME}}
PS: I'm sorry if it sounds like im nitpicking (i hope you dont think i am) but for episodes could you use a name like: The 4400 - XxYZ - <ep_name>.jpg please ?

I'm sorry, i probablly sound like a jerk telling you what to do, great work btw :) thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 07:53, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject The 4400

Hey there, i've created Wikipedia:WikiProject The 4400; I've listed your name in the members because i expect you'd be interested in the wikiproject and you know alot about The 4400 ;-)! thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 16:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

If you have the DVDs a media player like VLC Media Player (the one i use) is fantastic at screen grabbing :-) thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 17:03, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering what do you think of including pictures of minor characters for use in List of The 4400 minor characters? (I was thinking they should only be used for characters who've had a 4400 centric episode (IE: Orson in the pilot)) thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 17:09, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I thought that guy was talking to me, hehe! :P thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 17:23, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
I created a new page List of The 4400 recurring characters; I considered what would be classed as recuring and came up with:
  • At least 3 episodes
  • Been a crucial part in a story line (April had the Ben story line, Gary NTAC/Dennis stuff etc)

Got any ideas? thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 17:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good (PS: Sorry for late reply didnt notice your reply was in my archive -- oppsy :P!) thanks/MatthewFenton (talk • contribs) 20:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image

Sure; I'll retake one tommorow :-) - What do you think of my extended reviews :-P? I took a break tonight as im shattered but back to writing tommorow :). thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Updated the screencap ;-) - So what do you think of my reviews so far :-)? I was particularly proud of Wake Up Call (The 4400 episode) as its my longest review to date :P. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 08:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
That new pic okay? I didnt bother witing tonight.. i'm just soo tired, and i dont know why :( thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
PS: I changed the highland beach photo to thsi free great one Buchanan took (check out his gallery; he's took some great pictures of vancouver ;-)!) thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:46, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Yea, it's general to leave it how it is autored by a person not from the country of creation. I thought i'd got all the typos out of it as i wrote it in MSWord, i *should* of set the dictionary to American. i'll try and remember to use the American words in future episodes, but being from England the only American spellings i know i see on the web :P. (PS: Do you use MSN Messenger? Would be good if we could chat.) thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:01, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for updating, take care! --Hedwig in Washington (TALK) 02:54, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screencaps

Yep! It's part of a plan to imrpoove the episode list and make it better, i'll tell you why and more on messenger :-) thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 15:41, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm currently in the proccess of writing the synopsis for Carrier, would you like to review it before I submit it to the wiki for typos etc? thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Ah. I'll let you look at it on the wiki then when you get sometime, hehe.. domains are cool ;-) (I own derwafflehuas.net and matthewfenton.net) thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 22:11, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Omallystwin

Based upon your comments at Talk:Alton Brown, I have opened a User conduct RFC dealing with User:Omallystwin. Please take a look at it and if you agree with the claims please add your name as second certifier. If a second certifier is not added to the RFC it will be deleted in 48 hours. --Allen3 talk 12:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] CPF

You're welcome, bo-ne-he-ad! Now go tag the others skulking on wikipedia! --Don Sowell 07:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

"Thanks also for fixing my Poker user tag. Didn't even know it was broken yet."

You're welcome!

"BTW, I was just looking at your list of contributions. You've pretty much stuck to sports and a couple of presidents. Compare that to my list -- I'm much more all over the place: a lot of local stuff, some TV shows, a few movies, etc."

Yep! You've done some great work! I loved the article on Wonderbug. That show was probably my favorite from the Kroft Supershow. Too bad the title song was removed. That should probably find it's way back into the article.

"The fun ones (and I'm using the term "fun" pretty loosely) are when I click Random article and look for spelling and grammar mistakes, or when I check out Recent changes looking for really badly done edits. Just an observation."

Ooh! Nice idea. I've been using the random button to read articles, but not really shooting for editing them. It takes me awhile to get rid of my tendancy to be gun shy about that.

"I've not gotten to the point where I'm running bots and placing articles up for deletion or the like."

Me neither, lthough someone seems to have a thorn in their side about breaking up NFL team articles. I really should follow up on that one after the holidays.

[edit] Unfinished pages

Hi there. If you have to leave a page only partially written, with the intention of returning later, if you add the template {{underconstruction}} at the top of the page it will stop all but the most over-zealous editors from flagging or deleting it. Useful tip.--Anthony.bradbury 23:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zombie image

The best bet for a good zombie image is probably to take something from the many photos of zombie walks that are floating around online, perhaps from Flickr; it only needs one with some decent makeup, and usage permission from the photographer. The existing zombie-walk image is a bit dull, but it used to be at the top, so I've put it back up for now. --McGeddon 23:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Samuel Gamboa Potter

Helpme question: The Samuel Gamboa Potter article was written by User:AOTV, which is probably Action Outdoors TV, the network that airs Potter's show. User:Sampotter has just edited the page with some (malformed) links to additional information.

I don't have the experience to be bold and tell the user that it's a potential violation of a policy to create an autobiographical page (WP:AUTO is sufficiently wishy-washy in this context) and that it's questionable to edit one's own biography. I also don't know if this biography is of someone who is notable enough to have a biography on Wikipedia. Should I hand this off to someone with more experience? If I should handle it myself, what advice can you give me; what templates or examples should I follow? Travisl 03:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Nominate for Articles for Deletion and follow the steps! Cheers! Real96 03:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello; you misspelled the name of the article in your AfD procedure, having nominated Samuel Gamoba Potter for deletion (which doesn't exist). You can go ahead and fix it, or I am sure someone else will get to it in time. ◄Zahakiel► 05:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:FHALodging.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:FHALodging.gif. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
