[edit] The Artemis Fowl WikiProject

Hi. In the last month I have discovered the Artemis Fowl WikiProject and have slowly but surely been making progress. I have, however, noticed that no one else seems to be doing anything. So, it's as simple as this. Respond to this message, or your name gets removed from the participants list and I assume leadership of the WikiProject, because I will actually get something done. You have exactly 1 week, or 7 days, or 168 hours. They all mean the same thing.

However, please know that this is nothing personal against you. This is a generic message sent to every person on the participants list. Thanks for your co-operation. -007bond aka Matthew G aka codingmasters 10:46, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't even realise I was in that Wikiproject :)--Andy mci 15:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Andy mci, I'm Kafziel. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time.

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your discussions on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Kafziel 14:29, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Andy mci 14:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Right now im just going around adding quotes to Simpsons episodes. Andy mci 14:44, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vein Artical

IF YOU WANT TO OFFER AN OPINION, DO SO ON VEINS ARTICLE FOR DELETION PAGE

In the demonata, Vein is quite a main character. She may have been killed in Lord Loss, but she appeared in Demon Theif because of the time difference. That meens she may appear in the upcomming "Bec" or other Kernal Fleck centerd books. Keep the artical for now and when "Bec" comes out I'll see. this was left by Decboy at 16:02 on 11th September.

However, Grubbs is to be the main narrator, so Vein will not appear in books 5, 6, and maybe another. If it is announced that book 6 will be the last Grubbs narrated book, Vein should be kept.

Then why did you delete it? It's gone now and I blame you!

Hey, I didn't delete it, i merely nominated a useless article for deletion.

[edit] RuneScape!

Hi! I notice you play RuneScape. Maybe you might like to take a look at the Runescape wiki and think about joining us? Just a thought. Hope to see you there. Megalodon99 Talk 14:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I found a link to that page ages ago but i could never get back to it... yeah, might look at that.

I made an account on it, its got the same name as this account Andy mci 17:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{db-author}}

Hello. If you want to get rid of pages to which you are the only contributor, {{db-author}} is faster than {{prod}}. Best, Sandstein 18:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

thanks Andy mci 18:39, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] help me on User_talk:89.241.147.85

I see you left a *few* helpme's including the top

{{helpme}}

what is it you need? — Deon555talkReview 10:17, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

what? and im gonna remove that help me, because its putting me on a category i dont think i'm in. Andy mci 10:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, you used the {{helpme}} tag. How may I help you? When you've asked your question, please put the tag back so we know to check back. Alternatively, you can join the Wikipedia Bootcamp IRC channel to get real-time help. (Use the web-based client to get instant access.)— Deon555talkReview 10:36, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Right, this is very confusing now. i dont need help in any way. so stop this, its irritating--Andy mci 12:53, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

I didn't put it there.

I put the deletion notice on, and i am wondering why you were improving the article when the prod was based on the fact that there was no point in the article. and remember to sign your posts with four of the wavy line things (Theyre on the right hand side of your keyboard)Andy mci 18:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Darren Shan

Hi Andy. Here are some comments I posted to the project discussion page of this article after I assessed it:

I gave this a "Stub" classification because there is only a short biography, a list of books and some trivia. After finishing, I knew only a little more about this person than before I had started.

Some suggestions: Expand the bio, and please include inline citations for your information. As things stand, this article is not sourced at all.

Instead of a list of books, consider discussing the impact the books (each series) have had on the public and literary community. Also, to be complete, please include the publisher and ISBN number for the books that you feel must be listed.

I also think this article might better be merged with the ones about this other series of books. Jeffpw 17:51, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Forgot to add that the second paragraph in the lead would need to be deleted, since it doesn't reference anything from the body of the article. The lead should provide a concise summary of the article itself. Jeffpw 18:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ummm - oops

If anything it should be ...(The Simpsons episode) - you should probably fix the extra capitalization  Glen  09:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

right, sorry.--veon 09:03, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hang on! You're making double redirects! Will try to fix  Glen  09:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, i was gonna look for them after i had completed every page. can you help fix some?--veon 09:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


Okay, cool. I would've deleted the extra page for you thats all (in fact I will once you've ensured the original redirect (from the first page) goes to the episode not the capped version as that won't work :)  Glen  09:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

sorry, but i really didn't understand that sentence.--veon 09:09, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I would have reverted your first move, and deleted the Episodes page, and then redirected the first page directly (instead of fixing the redirects). But, its done. If you could please fix all the double redirects now that would be great, thanks!  Glen  09:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My Response

Frank Grimes was removed because he has his own page. And the way we decided to do it was that if a one-time or recurring character has their own page, they don't get mentioned on the one-time or recurring lists. Imagine how cluttered the recurring list would be if we mentioned EVERY recurring character. -- Scorpion0422 23:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay. but i still think he deserves a small one sentence mention, as people searching for him who don't realise he has his own page would get lost.--veon 23:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
That's not true. Most people looking for his page wouldn't go to the one-timers section, they will enter "Frank Grimes" in the search box and get his page. -- Scorpion0422 02:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, yeah....but he is still a one time character, and needs about two words in a bit of it.--veon 09:48, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes

Hi, hope you don't mind me posting to your userpage but I'm trying to collect opinion on a proposal relating to The Simpsons and, despite posting to various talk pages, I've had no feedback at all (except from a co-planner). I don't mind if all the opinion is negative (then I'll just forget the idea) but I'd like it to get some visibiltiy. I'm not going to go implement it unless the consensus is positive.

I'm proposing changing the way we manage lists of songs in episodes. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes which has a full explanation of the proposal. Please leave comments there.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this, or any views on where else it should be discussed --Mortice 12:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Updates to Simpsons episodes for list tag

Hi - good work on the list updates.

I just updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Example generated lists page and, as you can see, a few of the writers and directors have a '|' on the end of their names. You should move the bar to beyond the 'SourceEnd' tag, which will clean them up on the list.

Also, I happened to notice on The Telltale Head that the list of writers was previously:

 writer = Al Jean, Mike Reiss, Sam Simon and Matt Groening |

And you changed it to:

writers =
{{ListGenBot-SourceStart|SimpsonsWriters|SimpsonsWritersS01}} 
Al Jean |
Mike Reiss |
Sam Simon |
Matt Groening |
{{ListGenBot-SourceEnd}}

'writer' got changes to 'writers' (you can see this if you view the infobox now) and you added bars between the writers, which confuses the infobox. I think splitting the writers between lines is fine, you don't need any punctuation between them.

Well done, and keep up the good work --Mortice 20:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I think I've sorted these out now, but something to watch out for with your next season --Mortice 23:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to HP7

Hi, I just reverted your edit to the HP7 article. You added information about her recent dream in which she knew the Horcrux was in a hidden location in her fireplace. I think that this was just in her dream rather than in the book - correct me if I'm wrong. 0L1 Talk Contribs 21:09 20/12/2006 (UTC)

No, i disagree. She knew that it was hidden there in the dream, and I expect that she wouldn't have thought it was there unless she had planned it out.--ANDY+MCI=Andy Mci 12:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vampaneze

Hey I haven't talked to you since I started Wikipedia. I was going to ask whether or not vampaneze could flit. I would imagine so seeing that they are very closely related in powers to vampires, but I don't remember it ever being stated that a vampaneze ever flitted. I do remember when R.V. sped past Darren and cut him with his blades but I don't think that it was stated that he was flitting. I do also remember when Vancha's brother, Steve, and their followers sped off very fast, but once again I don't think that it was stated that he was flitting. I need your help because your the only person that I know that might know more about The Saga of Darren Shan than me. :-) Why1991 01:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, i read the saga ages ago, but as far as I can remember, yes, it never says Vampaneze can flit. But i don't think it shoul be ruled out that they do as i think they're pretty much the same apart from how much blood they drink and consequences of that.--ANDY+MCI=Andy Mci 10:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Check Out This

I thought that you might want to possibly add this to your userbox collection. One day I felt like making a userbox and I felt that this would be the perfect one!!!

This user can flit faster than lightning!!


{{Template:User:Why1991/Userbox/Flit}}




I cannot, as I would be suprised if you weren't also, very anxious for the next Demonata book to come out. I live in the U.S. and it's pretty sad because we are still awaiting the realease of the last Saga of Darren Shan book. No fear though, because I order all of my books from the U.K. so I finished the Saga at the same time you did. I will also have to order the next book in Demonata. Bec was pretty good, as were the other books, but I still don't see what the major overall storyline is going to be. All I know is that they need to assemble that sword that can destroy the connection between the Demonata and Earths universe, and that Lord Loss is evidently the main antagonist (at least so far) seeing that he has played a roll in each book. Demonata is still totally awesome, but I don't think that anything will be able to compare to the Saga. I guess I will have to see how it all plays out to make my final desicion on what is better though. What's your opinion? Well "good tidings" as they would say in Romeo and Juliet (I have to read that right now and my teacher is making it horrible). Please reply.

P.S. I changed my signature name to YIATI but this is Why1991 from the above message. --γιατί Sign Here | ESP. 00:25, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I actually think the Demonata is better, but hey, thats me. And just to be annoying, i'm going to point out its not necessarily a sword. I think the joint power of the 3 protagonists is the weapon. i'll take that userbox as well.--Andy mci 16:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season 8

Hi, myself and Gran are currently working on getting Season 8 to Featured topic status. We're about a third of the way there. If you own the Season 8 DVDs, it would be a big help you could work on a page or two. Find out more here. Thanks for the time, Scorpion 19:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Demonata Book 7

Where did you find the information that Bec would be narrating this book Kc007

Edinburgh book festival. Darren Shan stated that the first line of the seventh book is 'It's strange, being alive again'. This can only apply to Bec. Unfortunately, I don't think there will be anything on the internet I can cite for it.--Andy mci 22:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The General Cover.PNG}

Thank you for uploading Image:The General Cover.PNG. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:54, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:The General Cover.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:The General Cover.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
