[edit] Opinion Requested

Hi, I'd like to hear you opinion on the following debate. (Merging Alternate Versions of Characters)

[edit] Species integration nominated for deletion

As someone who has commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Most ancient common ancestor, you are invited to comment on another article by the same author which I just nominated for deletion. The same author coined a new article Species integration which similar theme with two completely irrelevant references, after the 'most ancient common ancestor' article was deleted. I removed these two irrelevant references, and commented on these on the Talk:Species integration page.

The new nomination/discussion page is at: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Species integration.

Thanks. Fred Hsu 01:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Research Request

Your request has been received and I'm working on it. My university has recently changed the way my resources work, and so I'm having to refamiliarize myself with how it works. It may take me a bit to get some useful results, but they are forthcoming. Please find them here. /Blaxthos 13:43, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chloe Sullivan

In what way is the veronica mars comment OR, and in what way is moviefreak.com not considered reliable? Please look at WP:OR and http://www.moviefreak.com/contact_a.htm. - Peregrine Fisher 02:11, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

I'll answer the two of those separately:
1) The comment is intrinsically OR simply because "similar" is a relative term. Some people can find two things similar where others would not. It's creating a relationship where no objective relationship exists. If one could find an interview with actress Kristin Bell or show creator Rob Thomas saying "the character of Veronica Mars was based on Chloe Sullivan" then a relationship could be stated. The opinion of one reviewer in one place is not "truth", it's an opinion. Also it's quite a leap to go from the glib comment on moviefreak of "Speaking of Smallville, this show could be passed as a spin-off, since the characteristics of Veronica Mars are quite similar to Chloe Sullivan." to the hard-and-fast declaration that "Veronica Mars is similar to Chloe" as if it were fact.
2) Beyond that, the problem with moviefreak.com as a reliable source is that it's not a peer-reviewed source that I know of, nor is it a notable source. You may note that Moviefreak.com does not itself have a wikipedia article, although other review sites such as Metacritic do. There's an argument that a movie or TV review anywhere is a "source" but only in a matter regarding critical response, not as evidence regarding the nature of a show. Critics are responsive, not involved with the creative process. Therefore they cannot be used as evidence of what a show IS, only what they think of it.
Shorter form: One guy on a small website made a little joke because he found the two characters similar. That's not even close to being an argument for the encyclopedia entry on a subject to directly state that the two characters ARE similar, even if it were possible to define exactly what "similar" means.
original research is when wikipedia editors make comparisons, not outside sources. It's a rule about internal OR, not external OR. Moviefreak has editorial oversight (according to the link I provided), which means it's not a personal web site, and therefore meets reliable sources. - Peregrine Fisher 15:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:OMEG002coverSMALL.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:OMEG002coverSMALL.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot 19:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

FYI, the grammar in the quotation is incorrect, but as you said, it is a quotation, so I approve of your reversions. "Laying" is transitive, and the sentence does not call for a transitive verb. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 15:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ongoing RPG notability/AfD situation

Hi, Markeer. Was wondering if you wouldn't mind reading my take on this situation around here of late, with all the AfD stuff going on in the RPG sector. My user page article is here. Thanks in advance. Compsword01 (talk) 21:24, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
