Characters

I'm of no opinion as to if the characters require more coverage, but if they do the correct way is not to change the page to being a request, put a request on the main article talk page, or write the article yourself. A very short article in the form of a request can be very confusing to someone who just comes to the page.--pgk^(talk) 07:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

kindly unblock my IP

unblock|[refactored by Pathoschild for legibility: IP 202.175.214.146 blocked by RexNL because of {{open proxy}}]

As the unblock tag you pasted says "If the block message says that your IP address is blocked or that your IP address was recently used by a blocked user, please paste the block message or post your IP address below as we have no way of unblocking you if your username itself was not blocked.", you are not directly blocked and you haven't told us what the block message says, and I can't just guess your IP, so there is little I can do. --pgk^(talk) 09:57, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, editing from these proxies is currently prohibited. For more information about open proxies and what you can do, please see the WikiProject on open proxies. Your IP address 202.175.214.146

hi, thanks for the immediate response. Basically, this is the IP address i use most of the time. As you know and as i stated earlier, i dont have a computer of my own, i am only using a private company computer with blocked internet access. only google and wikipedia are allowed to be used, but due to their blocking process, somehow they have created an open proxy. i dont know the technicalities for this matter, or how IP stuff works, but if you can help me resolve this situation, i would greatly appreciate it, thanks! -frbarba 06:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

please kindly reconsider my IP address for unblocking. iam an avid wikipedia user/editor and most of the time im online via this IP. as far as i know, im the only one utilizig wikipedia's edit functions and/or knows best how wikipedia editions work, and rest assured that there are no immature, irresponsible vandals in my vicinity, thanks -frbarba 13:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not going to unblock that IP, but I'll re-block it in such a way that you should be able to edit. No one will be able to edit from that IP address without logging in, and no one will be able to create accounts from that address, but those who already have them will be allowed to. Mango juice^talk 17:45, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Adding subpages to a user page

Hi! To answer your question, to create a subpage of your user page, simply add the text: /subpage_name to your user page and save. The subpage name will be redlinked. Just click on that to create a page in the normal manner, and you're away! Hope this helps, BillC 00:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

hi, thanks but where can i add/create the /subpage_name? is it in my preferences? - Bloodpack 07:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, you need to link the text as well: just edit your page. Like this (remove if you don't want this here on your talk page): /subpage_name. Then click on that redlink. BillC 07:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

oh, okay thanks! =) Bloodpack 07:52, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

The Punisher War Journal help

im having confusion as to renaming an article about The Punisher War Journal v1 versus The Punisher War Journal. I want to convert/rename the former with the latter, thereby removing the latter, so basically i cant rename the former because the latter exists which both have the same contents anyway, thanks! †Bloodpack† ^{argh! 15:26, 10 August 2006 (UTC)}

Hi, I've made The Punisher War Journal v1 redirect to Punisher War Journal now. If this isn't what you wanted, please feel free to use {{helpme}} again. Cheers, Tangotango 15:34, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

thanks! peace †Bloodpack† ^{argh! 15:42, 10 August 2006 (UTC)}

Medical Transcription help

i have created an article about Medical Transcription but when i browsed to check for related articles, i discovered that theres already an existing article. Now the article is in the process of merging. Once the article is thorougly edited, is there a possibility to delete either one? I tried to rename it but its impossible since the letter "T" is preventing it. The other article is written in small "t" while the article i created is written in capital "T". Please note that each article has a very good input. †Bloodpack† ^{argh! 05:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)}

You should do redirect in the Medical transcription, if you fail to do, feel free to ask for help. --Aleen f1 06:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Date links

This is regarding the article Cliffhanger (comics). Please note that according to Wikipedia's guidelinies regarding date formatting, "simple months, years, decades and centuries should only be linked if there is a strong reason for doing so." These should only be linked if they're part of a full date with day & month, as in December 28, 2005. If they occure alone, just December or just 2005 or just December 2005, they shouldn't be linked.

Also, titles of comic books are written in italics per WP:MOS. --Fritz S. (Talk) 10:24, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Bad Edits

While the edits have been corrected, just wanted to draw to someone's attention some edits that are in rather poor taste - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=Furpillows Seems to be a vandalism account. --Alexxx1 ^{(talk/contribs)} 10:34, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

oh i see, i thought hes a new user so i hospitably welcomed the person, thanks! †Bloodpack† ^{argh! 10:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)}

Good edit

Moving the Punisher biblio to its own article. Makes much sense, given the size of the main piece. -- Tenebrae 18:51, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

List of Internet Slang

Hello, Bloodpack. I often patrol the List of Internet Slang page and clean up unsourced or unreliably sourced listings. I could not help but notice you added a couple of entries that fell into this category. Please remember when editing this page that it is a prime target for anonymous editors to add pretty much whatever they and their friends decided to make up in school one day, and that as such the demands for entries on this page are notably stringent to prevent it from becoming an unapproachable, unsourced mess as it was before July this year. Thank you for you contributions, though, and happy editing. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 13:58, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Ack, I'm sorry, I did not know English was your second language, I'll try to explain what I said above in simpler terms. Sometimes at the List of Internet Slang page, editors add entries that don't have a reliable source saying that one acronym or definition is correct. Usually I go through the page and clean up definitions that don't have a source. There are still many uses of internet slang that are not on the page. However, to keep the page filling up from entries that might be untrue, each entry needs a good source to make sure that it's true. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 14:54, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the prompt reply. :) --Kuzaar^-T-C- 15:08, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

tagalog translation for cool cat

thanks for stopping by my talk page im must apologize, but i kinda messed up the html table heres the right one...

tagalog ---> ayos na pusa ----> a fine cat or an okay cat

†Bloodpack† ^{argh! 14:05, 18 September 2006 (UTC)}

Looks ok to me, try refreshing the page. :) --Cat out 16:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Punisher

Hi; sorry I got your message after I made the changes, giving my reasons in the edit summary. "Then-editor" or "one-time editor", either way is OK; I'll change it back to yours. As for "classically based", an encyclopedia really can't use a famous phrase (so famous it has its own entry) and give it a vague description; Daley might not have known where it came from, but there's no reason to extend his lack of knowledge. Anyway, nice to talk to a fellow Punisher fan!--Tenebrae 19:55, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

If you've access to that issue and can put in the exact, verbatim quote, by all means, blend it in with what's there. Nothing beats exact quotes!--Tenebrae 20:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Normal human

You're absolutely right that "normal human" is a clunky phrase. I was looking for a way to distinguish between a non-superpowered, non-costumed human criminal and someone like Bullseye, who's human but not of normal abilities. -- Tenebrae 20:31, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

That's good. "Normal criminals" is perfect.

What's with the sun symbol, BTW? It makes it seem as if it's two different people posting. --Tenebrae 19:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Is Bullseye considered superhuman? Or is he like Hawkeye -- an extraordinary talented marksman? --Tenebrae 20:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

comics template help

hi!, i would like to know templates used in wikicomics project such as superhero box templates, comic books box template, superhero team template or anything related to comic books. thanks Bloodpack 22:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics and ask related questions there. —Centrx→talk • 23:14, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

thanks i got it! Bloodpack 23:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Gerry a.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gerry a.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gamaliel 16:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Adding other-language links to Pol Medina, Jr. article

Do not add other-language links to the Pol Medina, Jr. article if they don't lead to real other-langauge versions of that article in the first place (only edit pages). It is always better to make an article in another language first before making a link at the English Wikipedia article. You've added quite a lot of other language links, but they lead to edit pages non-existent articles in the French, Spanish, and Polish versions of Wikipedia, to name a few. Again, you should make, for example, an article of Pol Medina, Jr. in the Tagalog version of Wikipedia first before making a link at the English version.

In short, make the articles there at the other-language versions first before linking them here in the English edition. Got that? - 上村七美 | talk 15:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Good edit...

...at The Punisher (1987 series). I've always found it remarkable when people use Wikipedia to promote their blogs. My God, there's be thousands of External Links! My compliments on your vigilence. -- Tenebrae 15:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm not a big one for comics-series checklists, since unless they're complete or nearly so they can create uncertainty and confusion, especially when things like the totally terrific [Grand Comics Database exist. (Invaluable resource for writing about comics; check it out.) Plus, there's the concern that editors will simply crib off GCD and similar places liked DC Database and Unofficial Guide to Marvel Comics Creators, which hardly seems fair given the enormous amount of volunteer work those sites' editors contribute.

That said, and if the consensus is to have them for each series, on which I'd vote nay for the above reasons, I'd answer your question by saying the table format used in The Punisher (1987 series) seems the much more readable and elegantly organized way to go, as opposed to a text list. Hope this humble and way wordy opinion is of some help in building consensus! -- Tenebrae 20:56, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks!

Thank you for the recognition on my talk page. It's always good to see that someone noticed. This wednesday I got the article semi-protected because it was in a state of constant disarray from anon editors constantly adding nonsense; hopefully this will make it easier to maintain. Cheers. --Kuzaar^-T-C- 13:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

re: List of i'net slang

Because unsourced additions are not vandalism, and only heavy vandalism qualifies for sprotection. Logged in users older than 4 days have no monopoly on editing pages (and at least a good number of them have also failed to provide citations for their offerings). Note that sprotection locks out both anons and new users, not anons alone. I would prefer to do cleanup and have free and open editing than have closed, restricted editing and no cleanup. The preferable model is, after all, how most people got tempted in in the first place. -Splash - tk 17:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

but its also a subtle way to increase one's editcounts, by continued cleanups †Bloodpack† 11:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Pat Lee

Hey man, that was my brother that started all the brough ha ha. He's a longer user than me and a pain. But it looks like the edits work for everyone. Thanks for being so cool. You like the Filipino artists? We're Thai, but we love that stuff. Best --Ughmonster 02:42, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Mar Amongo

Um. Mostly nice work but are you sure it's appropriate for him to have the living people template? Last I heard he'd been dead for over a year. (of course, George Wunder is a much more interesting biography for that sort of thing: I'm not a "fan" of his but I agree with his fans that most of the information out there therefore some of the edits that get done are defammatory, untrue, and irrelevent at the same time). I just moved Mr. Amongo's death date from the end of the article to the start, (and tried to fix the reference to his Eckankar illustrations while I was at it) so it would be clearer.Jplatt39 00:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Not trying to patronize you nor disputing your recent edit to Punisher, but the editor whose edit you blanked might revert it. I would think he would feel justified as it appears to be an unjustified blanking. In order to avert revert wars, I'd recommend explaining your edits in edit summaries. Just friendly advice from editor to editor. --Psyphics _Ψ _Φ 19:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see the summary in a cursory glance at the history. No worries! --Psyphics _Ψ _Φ 20:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome Template

Hi, when you post a welcome message to a newcomer, could you use {{subst:welcome}}, {{subst:welcome2}}, etc., instead of just {{welcome}}, {{welcome2}}, etc. It means that the text of that particular template will be added to the talk page of the user instead of the user just seeing a sort of mirror image of it. Two advantages are that if the actual template is vandalized, the message you have sent will not be altered in any way, and also less load is placed on the server. For more information, please see WP:SUBST. Cheers. Langara College 19:45, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Your new click here message does not work.

Innovation

Hiya, BP. The one or two times I've created a category, I remember it being a really long, back-and-forth process that took me forever to get right, and I never try it much again. I did find a link for you with directions: Wikipedia:Categorization.

Didn't realize that was you who created the page. I've got a soft spot for Innovation Comics; if you look on my user page and scroll down, you'll see it was on my to-do list. God knows when I'd have gotten to it, so thanks! (It's sooo much easier to edit what's already there!) Hope this helps. Good working with you! -- Tenebrae 02:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I listed your creating this article on the Comics Project Notice Board. Cheers!--Tenebrae 02:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll add him to my list.
