[edit] Hello

Hello, Glo145. I know that I'm late in saying this, but welcome to Wikipedia. If you ever have any questions about Wikipedia, don't hesitate to ask me. I'll see you around. Flyer22 00:31, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad that you expanded the Leo du Pres article; it needed it, of course. It's no longer a stub, so I'll remove the stub tag.

Whenever you expand an article that is a stub, make sure to remove its stub tag, which can be found at the bottom of the article. And, Glo, there are some important things about editing articles on Wikipedia (on real subjects or fictional subjects) that you should know. To start with... When creating a heading within an article on Wikipedia, make sure that the part of the heading after the first word is not capitalized, unless it is an official name of something in which is capitalized...like New York City. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Section headings, you should only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest lower case. For example: Character history, not Character History...Family and relationships, not Family And Relationships (or Family & Relationships).

Also, Wikipedia's plot summaries should be in present tense, as is addressed in this link: Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas#Tense. I know that link states preferred. But a good (or great) formatting style for Wikipedia is considered to be when an article's plot summary is worded in present tense. To read up on more of that, you can click on this link. I was opposed to it at first as well, but now it seems really right to me, perhaps because I'm used to it now. But having the plot in present tense, with the year in which it happened if it's a soap opera (though years are not usually needed for present tense of film plot summaries), as to clarify that it's not happening now makes a lot of sense, considering that just as if watching a movie, a television show, or a play, it really does seem as though it's happening as you read.

And, oh...remember, when talking on talk pages here at Wikipedia, to sign your user name using four tildes ~~~~. There are plenty of other things that you'll eventually learn about Wikipedia, if you continue to edit here, but the ones that I mentioned above are a few of the more important things that I felt the need to tell you about at this moment. I have more to tell you about concerning Wikipedia, of course, but that can come later. Anything you need to know about Wikipedia, of course though, ask me. Flyer22 21:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey Flyer, sorry about all the problems, I've caused you. But I could use some help on the Gloria Marsh page I created, maybe just the system is slow, but it isn't working. Glo145 3, October 2007

What I did was just copy and past what I did to the Gloria marsh article and put it into a new Gloria Marsh article, with Marsh capitalized. I hope that is okay. Glo145

Okay I just figured out how to change article names, stupid me just go to the move button!! Sorry. Glo145

No, don't be sorry, and don't call yourself stupid for that (not to mention...it's happened to other editors, of course, new or unfamiliar with aspects of Wikipedia). You haven't given me any problems. It's refreshing and great to have another editor working on the soap opera articles, especially one that's not a vandal. As for the Gloria Marsh article, the only thing that's a problem, if you can call it that, is that it should be the word "and"...rather than "&" for the heading Flings and relationships, but I'll fix that. Talk with you later. Flyer22 01:09, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] James Harmon Brown & Barbara Esensten

I see that you moved Barbara Esensten to that title.

Now we have to merge the James Harmon Brown article in that one as well. Flyer22 21:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Ya, I couldn't get the James Harmon Brown article to merge into the new one. It would be great if you could do that. Glo145 21:51, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Done. Flyer22 03:59, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I moved this article from James Harmon Brown & Barbara Esensten to James Harmon Brown and Barbara Esensten. It's a more appropriate title than with the &. Flyer22 06:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time for more

Hey, Glo. I see that you've become even more active with editing Wikipedia. I told you earlier that I'd inform you of other Wikipedia policies, as to help you, and, well, I'm back at your talk page to do just that. I saw you have trouble formatting a reference just an hour ago or so, the one to the Julia Santos article. Well, as for formatting references, take a closer look at how the references are formatted in the let's say...the Babe Carey article or a look at Wikipedia:Citation templates, and I'm sure that you'll get the hang of it.

I've also noticed that you've been rating soap opera character articles now. I want to give you some advice that an article shouldn't really be rated a B unless it's extensive with knowledge and is referenced somewhat or thoroughly...like the Bianca Montgomery article (I'm still improving that article, however). You probably already know that an article should not be rated GA (Good Article), A (A-class) or FA (Featured Article) unless it undergoes a nomination process for such, where it is deemed by a group of editors (sometimes one in the GA nomination process) as either meeting the status it is nominated for or not meeting that status. If you didn't know that, well, I've just clued you in on that matter, of course.

And you should also know about Wikipedia's notability policy. Read up on that and it will save you a lot of trouble in matters of what articles to create. It also helps to judge which articles should be deleted from Wikipedia or not.

Okay, that's all I'm informing you of today. Those are even more important Wikipedia policies than the first set I introduced you to. I didn't introduce you to those first because the others (the first set) seemed more important for you to know at that time. You can always contact me on my talk page or through email if you need help on anything with Wikipedia. See you later. Flyer22 (talk) 01:15, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

ThanksGlo145 (talk) 01:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

No problem. And I did what you requested for a reference, though you weren't that off, for those types of references. When a reference you give is not one located on the internet, that's the best way to format it. It's definitely easier to format than the ones of formatting to the internet. Flyer22 (talk) 02:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Soap opera character infobox

Glo, since we're not placing the family and relationships of soap opera characters (or any fictional character, really) at the bottom of their articles anymore, and that stuff belongs in their character infobox, it would be great if you could help out with that. For what I mean on this exactly, it has been discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas on its talk page, as seen in this link. You can weigh in with your thoughts on this matter as well. You've probably already noticed the elimination of the family and relationships sections from the bottom of these articles. I've already done this to the Sam McCall article, but I don't edit the General Hospital-related articles that much. Your help, especially with the characters from that show on this matter, would be much appreciated. Thanks. Flyer22 02:37, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay did that on several including Bobbie Spencer, Katherine Bell, Skye Chandler, and others. Glo145 (talk) 03:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again for the help, Glo. Flyer22 (talk) 06:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Also, remember to remove the lists from the bottom of these articles once you place that information that was there in their character infoboxes instead. Flyer22 (talk) 06:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh, it's apparent that you remember to do that. You just didn't do that for the Katherine Bell article, but I took care of that. Flyer22 (talk) 06:58, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I combined both references to get a cohesive statement that has real world references. Thank you for finding the information you did and for contributing to the keep debate for Abe Carver. Any help you can give with nominated articles for deletion is appreciated. CelticGreen (talk) 02:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Your welcome. I knew those old TV Guide articles would come in handy one day.Glo145 02:59, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AMC

People keep messing with the cast list and I really don't know what's going on who is on, who is gone, etc. Could you look at it. I trust you to fix it correctly whereas I don't trust these random IP users that live to mess with the pages. Thanks KellyAna (talk) 18:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe its correct, Flyer is more adept at these things than me, but people do change it randomly for no reason. Glo145 (talk) 18

[edit] Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. KellyAna (talk) 19:03, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notice of temporary injunction

Hi Glo145, I noticed you added a notability tag to an article about a television character [1] , and I am letting you know that there is currently a temporary injunction that applies to all editors[2] while this arbitration case is open. The injunction was enacted on February 3, 2008 and it reads:

"For the duration of this case, no editor shall redirect or delete any currently existing article regarding a television series episode or character; nor un-redirect or un-delete any currently redirected or deleted article on such a topic, nor apply or remove a tag related to notability to such an article. Administrators are authorized to revert such changes on sight, and to block any editors that persist in making them after being warned of this injunction."

The arbitration committee would like all editors to hold off on such actions while the case is open. I will also notify you when the injunction ends. Thank you. --Pixelface (talk) 05:02, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey Glo145 ~ the "notice of injunction" doesn't prohibit adding the tag you added. The point of your tag is to get others to expand the article. Feel free to ignore this over zealous warning. Your tag doesn't say "delete" it says "expand." Keep up the good work. KellyAna (talk) 04:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


Well, I did place a notability tag on the article but I also nominated it for deletion, because it has no notability. But oh well, I gues it'll have to wait. Glo145 (talk) 01:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
