[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sir Handel New.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sir Handel New.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:18, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season Pages

Diesel 10, I'm asking you to please stop reverting my edits to the season pages.

I am aware that you think the old format is more detailed. This is true, but this isn't a reason to keep it. It has 'too much detail', so to speak. For instance:

  • Each episode states the Michael Angelis and Michael Brandon narrated it. It's highly redundant.
  • You'll notice in some of the older pages that goofs are posted. This is considered original research - something intolerable here.
  • Each episode lists every character who appears. We already know who is seen in the season in the list below the episodes, and we don't need to know each and every detail about it. It only takes up space.
  • The summaries are way too long and revealing. Sure, we can give away spoilers, but it would be to the convenience of other guests to have a summary that gives the necessary info only, and not ruin the story for them.
  • The credits are generally the same for most seasons.

Here are some reasons to have the new format:

  • All the other episode lists here have the format. It'll create better consistency.
  • Brief information is much better, and easier to skim through (the TOC was fine, but we also need to take the page's size into consideration).

Your edits are good faith, but it'll be easier for all to have the new format. You can give suggestions to improve the page, but please don't revive the old summaries and notes. They only cause confusion (and, dare I say, delay) as the WikiProject strives to clean the pages.

P.S. Please stop writing in CAPS for your edit summaries. It's very rude, and isn't helping you.

I was unaware that these changes were going on. I do not watch the Thomas & Friends pages as there are just too many edits, 99% of which are rubbish. However, I agree with Rusty5's attempts to clean up these pages, and I think the new format is a great improvement. The level of detail present before these changes was too high for Wikipedia, and there are other sites (such as TrainSpotting World :o) ) which will allow for much greater levels of triviality...
I have also made comments on my talk page and Rusty5's in response to others' messages there.
Diesel10, I hope that you will be able to work with Rusty5 in maintaining these pages. I trust his knowledge and judgement with regard to the Season pages, having seen the quality of his contributions over many months, in the same way that I was happy for you to look after the character pages, having seen your contributions there. These changes should have been discussed first at WP:THOMAS, really, but I don't think I would have suggested anything different anyway.

I agree with EdJogg and Rusty5. You're just doing rubbish stuff to the guide.--S.C.Ruffeyfan 13:42, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Alex, this is NOT the way to build friendships here! Try some encouragement and, if you're careful, constructive criticism... EdJogg 19:46, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry :( S.C.Ruffeyfan 12:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
