[edit] jim

"On The Wings Of Love" by Regine Velasquez -- Viewdrix 22:12, 14 October 2006 (UTC)


I'll tell you the song name as soon as you explain to everyone why you keep deleteing material from this guide that people add. Last time I checked, this was the guide that "anyone can edit." At what point in time did a rule pop up saying we need approval from random God-Kings to add anything? I don't care if you build this guide from scratch, it still doesn't give you the right to dictate what belongs here and what doesn't. And because of you, a lot of valuable information keeps being removed. For example: why do you keep deleteing the movie references? That's a part of the episode info that should be included as it's own catagory, not slapped into the Synopsis like you intendedit to be there. So as soon as you explain to us why you feel you can delete whatever you wish (and be able to validate it without using the same "anyone can edit" argument I just used like so many other losers do here), I'll give you the title and artist of the song you want. Just in time for you to post it and take all the credit for knowing what it is. JohnQ.Public 20:36, 14 October 2006

Maybe because having the exact same two or three sentences worth of information in the plot summary and as a seperate pop culture references section was redundant; maybe because a "References" section is meant for sources on facts and the movie information was added mistakenly by some people there instead of a "Pop culture references" section; maybe because it's simply a judgement call on whether it can be in the plot summary or a pop culture references section, and when he saw the information was in both, he chose to keep it in one spot. Neither way is wrong, and you didn't even try to change it yourself, you simply assumed his reasoning and exploded at him like an idiot (IMO) because you like to think it makes you seem wise and important. Also, "God-Kings" is an incredibly stupid made-up word. Please don't go insane when you don't know what's even going on. Thanks. -- Viewdrix 22:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Exactly. And I'm pretty sure two-sentence paragraphs don't need their own subheading under wiki guidelines, but I'm not going to go find the WP:XXX thing right now. Also, the Million Dollar and Weekend at Bernies references already were included, along with Mufasa before they were added in a pointless section. And your song identification skills were clearly unneeded after all, JQ. BabuBhatt 02:55, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
If it's not needed, why haven't you posted the song yet? And don't bother looking up the WP:NON-Sense thing. Those are only used by people who can't give a simple explination why they did anything, and need a rule to hide behind. And God-Kings is not a made up word, you need to get out more often. The point I was making was that those references were added alone in a References section LONG before User:BabuBhatt came along and dragged it upward. Why don't you stop assuming I'm flying off the handle, and check some of the earlier history pages. And this isn't the only episode he's done this too. You've deleted material such as Goofs and Quotes and Cultural References from all of this season's episodes, either pasting them in where they don't fit or removing them all together because you don't like it there and think it's pointless. And if you're going to deny it, I can go pull up your paper trail. All I'm saying is, don't assume it doesn't belong here because you don't like it. It's people like you that make this guide look horrible and force people to go to other sites for real info. Oh, and that song you were looking for, it's called "On The Wings Of Love." Heaven forbid you venture past the Wiki-Homeworld and type some lyrics into this website called Google. But then again I shouldn't expect more from someone who knew exactly what WP:Loophole to find in order to justify doing whatever he wants to a guide that anyone can edit, but only he can dictate what stays.

JohnQ, "God-Kings" is still a made-up word. See WP:RS. Mrtea (talk) 17:19, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
I didn't know where the Wikipedia guideline is, that's why I didn't post it. Nobody is trying to "take credit" for anything; Do you think the average reader looks at the history of who wrote what and when? It's all about making it the best page it can be. And it seems a couple other editors agree with me here; if they don't, then it gets changed back, as it's a group effort, something you don't seem to be too fond of. If you believe these other Website's guides to be that much better, why spend your time at Wikipedia? BabuBhatt 20:47, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
The song wasn't needed because I already posted it. As for the most of your rant, I'm too busy laughing at the irony of both you saying I should pay attention to detail and not noticing I already wrote the song name on this page, and telling me I should get out more in order to learn a Wikipedia-niche made-up Internet phrase like "God-Kings". Now that I've read the definition, I'll note that BabuBhatt is not trying to delete the article, as the page states the definition of a God-King is. He merely kept information and moved it around to where he and others believed it was better placed. In fact, making up new criteria about what a God-King is makes you sound much more like a God-King, JohnQ. Not to mention your attempt to use non-existent authority to demand Babu explain his actions. If you feel the need to use the word "God-King" again, and furthermore, to note a definition to prove it is a "real" word, make sure you actually read that definition, and not just apply it to anyone who did the most trivial edit you disagree with. -- Viewdrix 22:10, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dunder Mifflin

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 16:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move article

May I suggest this article be moved to back to Grief Counseling (The Office episode) (currently redirect to this article) as there is now a mental health article titled Grief counseling?--Ziji Image:Baby_tao.jpg (talk email) 02:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Seconded. I'm a little surprised that there's no qualifier in the article title. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robotempire (talk • contribs) 08:52, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
