[edit] Some things up with which shall not be put

Please do not convert english spellings to american. Policy here is to leave them they way they are. Cheers. Theresa Knott | Taste the Korn 21:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I have reverted your spelling changes to Serious Organised Crime Agency, back to the British standard, for a British topic. That is in accord with general Wikipedia policy, please see WP:ENGVAR. Studerby 22:41, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uh... What?

You posted this:

"Please stop. If you continue to blank pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Agtaz 00:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC) "

I have not "blanked pages". I don't what you are talking about. K1ng l0v3 01:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gang

Honestly, I'd have to see it - if it's organized crime commited by gangs - then I suspect that'd be fine, but feel free to add one and we'll work from there. Sorry for the iffy response - if you have any other questions I'm usually a bit more helpful ... talk to you later.danielfolsom 23:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

What's the source for all this info you're posting about the dates cartoons were created? Wahkeenah 23:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You didn't answer my question. Where are the dates coming from? Are they on the cartoons themselves? Wahkeenah 23:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Using other wikipedia pages as a source is against the verifiability rules. Wahkeenah 00:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Because wikipedia is not an original source. It is subject to editing by anyone. Therefore it is not reliable. To put it another way, I could write an article about something and make up the information, and then write another article (under a different user id) citing the first article. Wahkeenah 00:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I found your user ID on several of the cartoon articles you re-edited today. I think Buccaneer Bunny was one of them. Mind you, I have not looked up which dates are right. I just wanted to know where you got the info. In the case I just mentioned, the Beck-Friedwald book says the film was released on May 8, 1948. That's a verifiable source. There's nothing in the book about the production and/or completion dates of the cartoon. Wahkeenah 00:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, a blue cover. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies (c) 1989. Buccaneer Bunny is covered on p.185. Wahkeenah 00:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Ideally, it would be nice to get the exact release dates in the cartoons as well as the summary page(s). With proper citation, of course. That would take awhile, and that's one reason why I haven't done it. Wahkeenah 00:25, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I am not an admin. I would not run if nominated, and if elected I would not serve. Why do you ask? Wahkeenah 00:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry if I came on so strong. I was just envisioning having to do a bunch of reverts. Wahkeenah 00:53, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cool

Neat. Are you going to college, and if so, where? (don't tell me if you'd rather maintain your privacy). Λυδαcιτγ 22:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Colorado College. Does LATTC offer business majors? I'm probably going to major in economics. Λυδαcιτγ 22:04, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VP Moderation

Hi Agtaz,

I've seen that you've added yourself to the moderator userlist on User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof#Moderators ([1]). However, you aren't a mod. Maybe you wanted to request approval to run VandalProof? If so, the right page is User:AmiDaniel/VP/Approval. Let me know what your edit was supposed to mean ;-) «Snowolf How can I help?» 14:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Here, [2]. But user access, not moderator one. «Snowolf How can I help?» 19:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your VandalProof Application

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Agtaz. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that at this time you do not meet the minimum requirement of 250 edits to mainspace articles (see under main here). Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. «Snowolf How can I help?» 21:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to VandalProof!

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Agtaz! You have now been added to the list of authorized users, so if you haven't already, simply download and install VandalProof from our main page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any other moderator, or you can post a message on the discussion page. Daniel 13:02, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Two FACs I'd Like Help With

Hey, I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind going to two FACs for article I have brought up to FA-quality, IMO, recently. These are Voyage: Inspired by Jules Verne and Agatha Christie: And Then There Were None. I'd really appreciate any criticisms or support that you could provide for these two feature article candidates. Thanks. Paaerduag 02:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

These are both adventure games, released by the Adventure Company. What else would you like to know?--Paaerduag 02:54, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nutty Blocc Compton Crips

Thanks for correcting this! I created this article, as you can tell I'm not from LA. So I have no idea of the geography. A link told me Compton was in South LA. If you have an interest in gang culture you might want to join our project at Wikiproject Crime. If not keep up the good work. Jmm6f488 05:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greg Ford

I'd just like to thank you very much for correcting some of the information in the Greg Ford article I created. I truly appreciate it. — Cinemaniac (talk) 05:10, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Now that you mention: I know most of Greg Ford's films by memory (and I hope I'll be able to put a Filmography section in the article soon). But d'you know if Ford has published any books ? If he has, I haven't been able to pin them down on the Web. By just listening to his audio commentaries, you can tell he admires the work of Tex Avery and Friz Freleng (the latter director is particularly more "ignored"—if that is the word—by some critics today). It'd be interesting to actually read his takes on the field. — Cinemaniac (talk) 05:29, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
No, I don't, unfortunately. He doesn't give his date of birth in his DVD commentaries—then again, why would he?—and I know he doesn't have his own blog. Even a Google search hasn't proven very helpful. There's always something... — Cinemaniac (talk) 05:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, when I first signed up for an account, it listed the benefits, one of which read: "The ability to start/create pages." I guessed it meant I could create a page without the permission of an admin. I basically did the same for historian Michael Barrier during my unregistered days, believe it or not, any number of months ago. During those days, Mike Barrier's Wikipedia page was a stub about the Star Trek actor, not the animation historian. So I basically added as much info I knew about Barrier to that article (which, by the way, has since become a disambiguation page for the two separate articles). — Cinemaniac (talk) 21:24, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Wait. That doesn't mean the Greg Ford article is going to be deleted, does it? If it does, I had no idea I couldn't create a Wikipedia bio—however limited it may be—without admin. approval. I guess I should've asked first, eh? — Cinemaniac (talk) 21:55, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Whew! Much obliged. That's a load off of my mind! — Cinemaniac (talk) 22:09, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
I enjoy the cartoons of the Golden Age of American animation in general, but I am a particular afficienado for the Looney Tunes. I thought that would be apparent. If it's not, just look at my contributions and the discussions on my talk page. — Cinemaniac (talk) 22:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
I realised that, too. It's gonna take some time, too, to create more LT and MM pages—time that, unfortunately, I usually won't have. But after New Year's I'll have more time to devote to the Wikipedia animation project, I sincerely hope. — Cinemaniac (talk) 22:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Actually, there already is one: Wikipedia:WikiProject American Animation. You should consider joining; from the looks of your contribs, you'd be a valuable asset to the project. — Cinemaniac (talk) 22:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Congrats! Compared to other wiki projects, there aren't too many of us. :) If you yourself need any help, just drop me a line and I'll see what I can do. — Cinemaniac (talk) 00:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
How old am I? Sixteensomething... — Cinemaniac (talk) 17:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Looney Tunes on TV

Think that would be a good idea for a separate article. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 16:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Your proposal for such an article has produced a rather intense response. Click here for more detailed feedback from various fellow editors. — Cinemaniac (talk) 22:35, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: More Looney Tunes Characters

Well, my exams are over now, so I'll be actively contributing again. What exactly do you suggest we do? I've heard of similar thoughts to create more LT character articles, but some other editors have said that such articles would A) be extremely short, or B) become saturated by speculation and fancruft. — Cinemaniac (talk) 04:07, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to discourage, and I hope that you didn't think I was trying to do so. I was simply communicating what other editors had said before. That doesn't necessarily mean consensus was reached, and that certainly doesn't mean you should stop trying to do The Right Thing. I think that we should still pursue giving these more obscure characters their own articles—just keeping these earlier advisings in mind. . . — Cinemaniac (talk) 04:39, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
The discussion continued here. — Cinemaniac (talk) 04:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South Central

What do you mean? --Flesh-n-Bone 11:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I have never edited to the article for this. --Flesh-n-Bone 20:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Revues

Happy New Year, Agtax! I thought I could ask for your help and advice. I've submitted two articles for peer review, and thought that you might like to critique them:

  • Duck Soup. I've listed this article for peer review because, even though I and other editors have contributed much information and references, I'm certain that there are other aspects of this classic film that have yet to be covered. I'd like to hear feedback from you, so that I can get help in improving this (and other Marx Brothers films) quality.
  • Princess Leia Organa. I've listed this article for peer review because it right now seems oddly cluttered and, despite a lot of references as of now, lacks reliable source citations. Although I've already requested another peer review, as long as it helps the articles get better, I've got the time. Comments and suggestions are appreciated, as this should help me in expanding other Star Wars-centric articles.

If you have the time, it'd be great if you could look over those two articles and assess their flaws and weaknesses. Thanks, and, again, a Happy New Year to you! — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 03:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello...

How many more edits do you need to become an admin? ♣ Bishop Tutu Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 15:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh well you used to edit some pages that I did and back then I remember seeing that you were trying to be an admin. I just wanted to know how that was going. I figured you would be an admin by now. ♣ Bishop Tutu Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 18:48, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
How do you mean? ♣ Bishop Tutu Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 19:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Oh. ♣ Bishop Tutu Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 19:17, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Honestly? Boredom. And I thought if you were an admin, I figured you could come back to the GTA articles and help keep disruptive edits away. No worries, though. ♣ Bishop Tutu Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 19:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Well nothing right now. I just wanted to prevent it. ♣ Bishop Tutu Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 19:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What A Great Idea!

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
You've always been thinking of ways to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the Looney Tunes, proposing several great ideas concerning the Looney Tunes television history. Even though some of them might not have come to fruition, I believe it's profoundly essential that new ideas be proposed in order for Wikipedia to keep growing. With that in mind, I present to you the What A Brilliant Idea Barnstar, to encourage you to continue thinking of ways to improve the wiki's coverage of Looney Tunes on TV. :) — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 03:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:

Gang control sections? I'm not too sure I know what you're talking about. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 21:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah, ok. Hah I almost forgot about that article. It looks fine really. I think the only info you could add at that point would be cruft. That "expansion" tag should probably be removed. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 21:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Charlie Dog abruptly merged with Porky Pig

Just minutes ago, MrJanitor1 merged the Charlie Dog article with the Porky Pig article, without providing any reason whatsoever on the talk page or in his edit summaries. I notified him of this, and informed the user that it would probably be best to ask for consensus before making such a move. I then went ahead and reverted most of the edits pertaining to this redirect, but found myself hitting the wall when trying to restore the Charlie Dog page. I've asked Ted Watson about this, but he's not exactly sure how to do it, either. D'you think you could help us out with this? Thanks! — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 22:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. It took the use of some major brain cells, but I think I've been able to restore the Charlie Dog article (by way of copying the original text from the Porky Pig article's history and then pasting it back on the Charlie Dog page). It looks like that worked. Sorry to bother you like that. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 23:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Ted Watson has posted his own comment about the proprosed "Miss Prissy" article at my talk page. Click here for the most recent posting. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 02:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Hi, just noticed your comments on dissolve's page. Regarding trivia - the idea is to pick out the wheat from the chaff. E.g in Colors (film):

  • The film's theme song of the same title was performed by Ice T.
  • The producers hired real gang members. Some were shot during the film's production.

These two facts should be incorporated in the main text in a more meaningful context.

  • In April 1987, during the film's production, Sean Penn was arrested for punching a photographer who was taking pictures of him without permission. He served a month in jail for this assault.

This is more to do with Sean Penn and should be put in his article if not already noted.

  • A mural of Jesus Christ on a wall in one scene can also be seen in a scene from Falling Down, a 1993 film in which Duvall appears as an experienced police officer.

This isn't such a big deal is it? It's an obscure fact that doesn't carry much meaning as it stands. (However, say this was a running theme in an actor's or director's work then that would be more meaningful and should be re-stated as such)

Think of wikipedia as a way to present the most important and interesting facts. I for one don't mind trivia but the truth is the most interesting parts should be in the article and the lesser ones discarded. This is my just opinion, so if you disagree feel free to keep the info. Sorry for the impromptu essay! Sillyfolkboy (talk) 21:06, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
