[edit] Matrix Reloaded

Hello, ABCxyz You'll find that in the present, it would be false to describe the overwhelming majority of people as non-caucasian. Caucasians make up about half of the world's population, which I don't think can be in any way described as an overwhelming minority - I mentioned this issue on the talk page as well, if you wish to discuss the issue, there is probly the best place. You may wish to note first that although exact statistics are not kept on the issue, a quick glace will reveal that five of the ten most populous countries on earth are predominantly caucasian (India, America, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia) to get a feel for how this is the case.

[edit] WP:CMC Notice Board

Just for your information: When creating a new comics-related article, please try to make a note of it at the Wikiproject Comics Notice Board. That way, you can attract other editors to work on your new article. Thanks, Chris Griswold 02:22, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Additionally, I see your article is the subject of a merge discussion. Please don't take this personally; as you continue to edit, you will better understand what sort of articles can stand alone, and which will be deleted or merged. If you ever have questions, be sure to ask at the Wikiproject Comics talk page. Hey, I even recently brought up an article I worked on very heavily early in my time with Wikipedia because I realized it just didn't fit. I look forward to more contributions from you. --Chris Griswold 02:28, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barak Obama Revert

You wiped out someone else's contribution with your revert. CMacMillan 00:23, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

No, I did not erase anyone's contribution. Not from what I can see anyway. I went out of my way to avoid that. If I did, you'll have to tell me what it was. ABCxyz 00:32, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, you're right - I missed the retained entry and assumed you had reverted to the previous version. CMacMillan 00:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
No problem, CMacMillan. ABCxyz 00:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural depictions of Philly

Cultural depictions of Philadelphia list is a list of media, such as television and books that shows Philadelphia in fiction or in art. The parade actualy is in Philadelphia, so it would be depicted in a form of media. If it was film with the Mummers Parade in it then the film would go in the list. To be on the list a person would have to create a depiction of the city or something in it. The actual city and items that reside inside do not count. You are looking for Culture of Philadelphia article, where the Mummer's Parade is already mentioned.

I will expand the introduction in the future to make this more obvious.Medvedenko 02:56, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

There is no other interpretation. The article is the Cultural Depictions of Philadelphia that means nothging else. The Mumers Day Parade is a parade, not a cultural depiction of Philadelphia. I am very confused why you are agruing otherwise. Medvedenko 02:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
Sorry it took so long to respond. Since I'm not trying to feature the list or anything I've decided to not care about the content of the section and taken it off my watchlist. Medvedenko 00:32, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tracy "Bird" Van Adams

A tag has been placed on Tracy "Bird" Van Adams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Springnuts 22:44, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you asked how it was tagged so quickly. A good proportion of articles get deleted within minutes - as they are not worth keeping - so quite a lot of Wikipedians have a look at what has been newly created from the page [[1]]. If you have a look there you will see that a lot of stuff gets tagged within seconds. For that reason it is best to use a personal page to draft an article until it shows notability etc. - gives it a better chance of not falling at the first hurdle. Good luck with Tracy "Bird" Van Adams. Springnuts 09:13, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I took the ((hangon)) tag off asa it is not needed when the article is at AfD. You probably (but it is not for me to say) want to go here [[2]] so that you can argue why the articel meets Wikipedia guidelines. Springnuts 22:33, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter

Hey, ABCxyz, do we know for sure that both of these characters are returning? I mean, Jesse died, in a very public way, has been back more than once in spirit, and every source I've seen so far has not confirmed that Darnell Williams will be back as Jesse on All My Children, only that he will be back. I mean, it would make more sense if he were returning as Jacob. I would also say if he were returning as Ghost Jesse, since he's done that before, but you stated long-term contracts. Do the sources you added cite that he will be back as Jesse? I re-worded the addition you added until I get confirmation from you, or if you're not sure, confirmation from elsewhere (some valid source). Flyer22 (talk) 07:40, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2008

Hey, you want to write up Jesse and Angie's 2008 return and reunion in their storyline section? I'm wondering if you'd rather start that. I'll contribute to it at times, of course.

As for the section that is also about their 2008 return, but addresses the rewriting to bring Jesse "back from the dead", which was titled 2008 rewrite and is now titled Rewrite: 2008, I'll just rename that to Rewrite. Flyer22 (talk) 05:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for starting the 2008 part of their storyline. I'm not sure that the Jacob and Angie section should go in their storyline section, though, since it's in out-of-universe form, and it adds more plot to the storyline section...when Wikipedia plot summaries should stay as small as summarizing the plot will allow us. I felt/feel that it would fit better in their Background section, right after it's mentioned that Jesse "died", so I moved it there. A little about Jacob and Angie could be added to their storyline section, of course. It's only the entire Jacob and Angie section that I didn't/don't feel was/is best-suited there, as it goes in out-of-universe form. I expanded the rewrite section of their background. Darnell Williams and Debbi Morgan gave a great interview in this addition I added. Flyer22 (talk) 04:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The individual infoboxes for the Jesse and Angie article

Those really aren't needed. All that information is already present in their article, and having those boxes is just clutter. Flyer22 (talk) 03:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Also, if I had to choose between the two, which I think we should, I prefer their Family and relationships section rather than those two infoboxes stacked atop of each other, right after their main picture. Either way, both options aren't needed. I'll let you decide on which of those two styles we should do away with. Flyer22 (talk) 04:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
