[edit] RfA thanks
Hey, Prolog. It's me again! This time I'm here to say thanks for your support at my RfA. I was absolutely astounded at the level of support, to be honest and I will definitely be striving towards repaying this trust. I see you are still doing some really great work around, so your kind comments about me at the RfA, I could and would say the same about yourself one day! Cheers.

[edit] Let's discuss revert to employee stock options
Prolog, what's the reason for your revert to my addition of an external link on employee stock options? (The edit was performed anonymously as the IP address 66.92.85.197) I understand that external links should be carefully controlled, but we're a popular and valid site on stock options and other equity compensation, so I think the addition is warranted. Thanks! --Tmollerus 16:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Well it may need reducing slightly but remember there are now like about 15 other templates with exactlythe same style so they would all have to be altered. e.g

If I do reduce the cinema font size it still needs to be bolder than the writing underneath ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 10:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I don't know what pixel setting do you have wikipedia on? I have mine on the smallest font size and its barely readable!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 11:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah thats why then I am using the smaller text size However I agree the font size can be reduced somewhat. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 11:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Have a look at Finland now. Better size? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 11:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I agree although it is intended to centre around the Cinema of Finland but not to dimish the elements of it! This is a happy medium I think. If you could add the template to as many of the film pages and actor/director articles from Finalnd as possible that would be a great start -some time I'll get back to working on Finland again. I am on Argentina at present . Check out how List of Argentine films is developing List of Argentine films:1936 is nearly completed. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 11:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
THankyou I would be very grateful. Also it gives you the chance to attach the WIkiProject Finalnd tag to the talk pages of many of the Finnish cinema articles which are at present alienated. Cheers! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 11:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Wow nice Italian film but remember

||||||||
I want the relative templates to be an every cinema page . Great! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Good, I beleive Luigi Pistilli was a major Italian actor I know he starred in a few of the Spaghetti Westerns playing Tuco's religious brother in GBU -but his article is really awful! It should be much better -when I have time I'll improve it considerably I think -I've linked your 1972 film in it anyway ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Great vandal reverting
Also super job on reverting vandalism. Its pathetic how childish people waste their time in trying to vandlaise something that is only going to be reverted anyway!! Why do they bother? Why don't they just spend their time helping it rather than with stupidity? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 11:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- "Replaced page with 'you cant stop us!!!'" - yeah, ok, if you say so. :) Bubba hotep 15:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 The Finland Barnstar |

| I Ernst Stavro Blofeld present you with this Finnish barnstar for all of the hard work you've done on Finnish articles and in general, your contribution is much appreciated!Sir Blofeld |
♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 10:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Your welcome. I am wokring on The Maltese Falcon (1941 film) -when I saw it was collaboration of the week I was a little surprised as it was very short. Anyway I am addig the whole missing synopsis, pictures, background and cinematogrpahy sections what do yu think so far? I am going to devour this into a good article asap ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:55, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I know there is wealth of info - I reckon this could eventually be written into an A-class or even feature. Well I did it with Abbas Kiarostami with some copy editor helpers so why not on this? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
It needs a lot of work of course but I reckon I can do it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:14, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes Abbas Kiarostami was such a big article it had to be split onto Filmography of Abbas Kiarostami and Cinematic style of Abbas Kiarostami!! I have justed added a screenplay section to Maltese but I will need to sort out any direct copy right of course and copy edit it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
The Falcon is progessing now what do you think so far? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:19, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes I need to copy edit it fully and add references but I feel it important to add the content first ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
The Falcon is coming on nicely now -it has many new sections and details -almost double the length. By the way how did that article go with the Finnish rally driver -did you succeed with a feature? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 20:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Images
Hi. Sorry, I was going from the point of view that a source was stated which was unavailable, and therefore non-verifiable. I didn't think about checking archived webpages. Perhaps I should just list them under Images for deletion and present my argument? Mark83 14:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How did you do that?
Hello Prolog, I noticed you recently removed some nonsense from the Koi article by reverting back to a previous edit. Well done. I understand how to revert back one edit but not multiple edits all at once. How did you do that? Wolphii 01:43, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA
 |
Thank you for your comments on my my recent RfA in which I withdrew because the oppose votes were almost equalling the supporters. I then decided to leave my account (Tellyaddict) and start fresh under a new username, however I quickly decided to reconsider after another user persuaded me not to leave the account - I am now glad I did reconsider because leaving that account and creating a new one was too hasty so I've decided to improve rather than starting again! I hope we can remain civil and that there were no negative feelings caused. Again, thanks for your support even though you opposed and I withdrew it, your vote is much appreciated! Regards - Tellyaddict (Talk) 20:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC) |
[edit] Re:
Encyclopaedia Metallum is not only a poor source, it merely duplicates discography info which can be found on official websites. Now, I'm trying to get the Metal Project off the ground a bit since as far as I've seen it's done little much. Apart from a ton of mediocre stubs, there is hardly any GAs no nothing. I've started by introducing an assessment scheme so we can rate the Project articles which'll tell us where we're at, and then we can take things from there. A major problem I've noticed is there seems to be more discussion about which genre is whatever band, while content improvement is minimal (which is being overly fair) - for example, people seem more concerned about the external links than raising content beyond stub level. I'll be honest, I'm not exactly the greatest of Wikipedians and cannot boast much beyond one FA (Christ Illusion), but I'd love to make the Project work and see how far it can go. Once the assessment side of things is finished, I'm hoping the Project can be open to other ideas - eg. Project peer review etc. I want to see also if I can get some articles properly cited and so on too. So, are you aboard? LuciferMorgan 21:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] CInema templates are up for deletion
Unbelievably a nasty user has put all of the cinema templates up for deletion. I beelive they serve a great purpose for establishing a better understanding and connection between articles. But in totla haste he has gone ahead and proposed the lot. If my hard work is deleted I swear I am leaving wikipedia for good. I am willing to limit the use of the American template but not the others.

[edit] Wikiproject Actors and Filmmakers
Hey see my proposals at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Actor and Filmmakers and the main WP Film and Biography talk page. Know anybody who is interested? Actors and all film people articles need a body on wikipedia to upkeep them asthey need more focus -it would be a part of Biogrpahy and Film. If you are interested or know somebody who would be, please let them know and whether you think it is a good progession for the project or not. Please leave your views at the council or biogrpahy main talk page. THanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I take it you're not interested in this? Huh? I am very pleased at what you are doing with WP Finland it is developing nicely - you're probably occupied with this. I have seen some good tagging for the project. Sorry I haven't contributed to the project being a member and all but as you know I have been rather busy!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 19:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
I know -if it wasn't for actors and directros there would be no films!!!! I feel this project has been waiting far too long should have been created when Films was. Don't worry about the administration side of it will be sorted in due course remember it is for people interested in articles on film biographies. Feel free to add your name loosely and a comment. ##
Hey sorry I don't know what happened there -my computer suddenly crashed a started bleeping!!!! It died for about 10 minutes!! I think I held down the signature button too long! yes I'd imagine the tagging would be something like {filmbio|director=yes|class=B|importance=high something like that. I also at the beginning kept putting film in the biogrpahies!! How is the rally project going I promised you I'd help that too!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 20:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
There we go I had to add a Finnish film after our discussion. I have stubbed Rentun Ruusu but it would be great if you could find some free time to translate from:
Cheers ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 21:03, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I also started Tyttö sinä olet tähti. I think I'l' remove the Finnish until it can be written. Ther eis a lot of Finnish info on it I wish!!!! I could translate it and turn it into a good article. I look the look of Pamela Tola I started her article before -ther eis something attractive about her. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 21:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I think Rentun Ruusu is ok but it would be great if when you are free in the next few days if you could translate this and add it to Tyttö sinä olet tähti. I hate leaving them as stubs if there wa sa Finnish translation system on the internet I would do it myself!!!
Finnish text removed from here due to copyrights. I'll still try to work on this. Prolog 17:39, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the comment. Actually I tried to not change the format of the layout for 1981, but merely changed the header to fit it into the format of the rest of the page (table width and text size). I did make one minor change within the table and that was to add a break after the flag for the event, but I will note this in the discussion. Thanks! Josh 15:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A question of inclusion
Hi, I am planning to formulate this for a more general discussion, but it's best to hear some opinions first. We are compiling film lists by country, and some editors including Blofeld copy whole dumps from imdb and try to enter them all in the lists, which become like telephone catalogues in this way. Notability-wise it could be that every film that has ever been screened is acceptable. For having useful lists, however, this is very questionable IMO. Should we make lists for "most notable films" only, or should we get listed every last film ever screened? Hoverfish Talk 23:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually they don't. The only example of this is the List of East German films where somebody had compiled a scruffy list from imdb that I tried to quickly cleanup by putting them into the formal tables!!! I certainly don't want every unotable film in the lists!!! I would lioke the see most feature films in the lists but not four minute shorts, or one of films, or unotable tv films etc ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 14:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
My apologies, Blofeld, in my load of tasks I didn't have time to sleuth deep enough into it and I put the blame on you. Lesson taken. Prolog, yes, the bold titles is the next issue. I compiled the French with bold feeling rather bad about it, but it would take me only a minute to remove it with the Replace tool of my off-line editor. What we need is consensus. I know some like titles bold and some can't stand it. I dislike it too. I think bold should be used very sparingly. I unbolded the Australian lists with Pete's agreement and it looks much lighter now. Right now I still want to have the red link issue clear and next comes this, and not only for the country lists. If you would like to take the initiative of introducing the issue in the List management department, it would take some load off of me. Hoverfish Talk 15:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey no hard feelings my friend. I also strongly agree that if the missing titles are unwikified that it looks horrible in bold anyway so should definately be unbolded too ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 15:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

I have returned to editing Finnish articles at present. You'll be proud of me - I have unstubbed the three line articles Aaro Hellaakoski and Martii Haavio to good ones and have started a number of Aaros's peoms creating the categories Finnish poetry and Finnish poems. I have also started the List of Finnish poets and stubbed the village Temmes. PLease can you translate the brief info from Finnish wikipedia. I would love to expand all our Finnish stubs and add hundreds of new ones like Aaros and Martti articles ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 12:23, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

THanks hey thats funny I stubbed some missing actors from A Fistful of Dynamite by Sergio Leone earlier -I will get that dvd as a birthday present I think I love Sergio Leone's movies. Ever heard of Maria Monti or Rik Battaglia?. There is so much missing from every country with films and actors and articles which need writing properly let alone the rest of the encylopedia!!! There is a thousand years work on here!!!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 21:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I haven't seen most of them but I love Spaghetti westerns immensely though!! Many of those films by those directors though don't have the film posters and there are a few missing films.-i'll help out with these some time. Also I keep coming across specialist Spaghetti western sites which have all the galleries of the actors in all the westerns. I aim to go trhough them some time and add them even the smaller figures which have appeared in countless films and are familiar - like I did to the actors of the Good the Bad and the Ugly. I think I'll stub a few rally driver articles now before I retire. All the best ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 21:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kaczynski content
Hi, in this edit you restored some redundant content I had removed.
This content is almost exactly the same as the previous section. That section ends, leading into this one, titled "Arrest and court proceedings"; oddly enough, I think the section should therefore deal with the arrest and court proceedings. Therefore, the repeated content should be removed (it looks really stupid if you're reading through the article sequentially, as I was), and the section can start with the arrest.
If you feel the paragraph doesn't make sense without it, then please either add only the necessary context, or (better) move the content concerning David to the previous section, or (also fine) move the duplicated content from the previous section down into this one. The content which I had removed, and which you restored, isn't as good as the content which it repeats, because the former uses subjective language and ignores details which the latter examines.
Thanks, 134.53.26.130 13:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
