[edit] Welcome

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like it here. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your edits to Earth. Evolution does not predict an age for the earth in this manner; the age cited comes from a synthesis of geological, astronomical, and astrogeological evidence. You may wish to see Age of the Earth for more information. If you have any questions about this matter or about Wikipedia, I'd be happy to answer them. Thanks! — Knowledge Seeker দ 04:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film)

--ILikeThings 02:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Hi Raditzu, thanks for creating a more detailed summary for the film. While your intentions are admirable, your summary is much too long and not written in a formal tone as is expected by an encyclopedia. It is not concise and expands on details (e.g. the zoo, Diagon Alley, the Houses, specific lines of characters, Quidditch) while (though I know you wrote the note that the paragraph on the climax needs to be expanded) the most important information is omitted. I therefore have shortened what you wrote dramatically. If readers want to really know what the movie is about, they should go rent it, or read the book. This is a summary, not a plot outline. Anyway, happy editing, see you around, and don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 17:37, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, not a problem. Glad you understand and everything's good. :-) --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 21:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Edits to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (film)

Is there some reason you made this 05:09 verison? What was the formatting error? In fact you didn't do anything much at all expect change Alfonso's name but why do you do it? And how is it bothering you? Sorry for all the questions-please reply on my talk page. ForestH2 15:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed. Could you sign your name like this at the end of each note you write? ~~~~? Thank you. ForestH2 22:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to the Differences between book and film versions of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

So, what was the point of your edit here? I don't believe a voice actor for Kreacher has been annouced.....ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | -

Thanks for the explaining. He's confirmed to feature in the film, yes as a CGI character so I thought he belonged in that category. But he doesn't! Your edit was correct, mine was not. ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | -
I'm confused by your last message. It isn't my talk page? How? ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | - 20:50, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
My actul talkpage as I know is ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | - 21:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Nah. Actully, before I shifted into a part time Wikipedian, I put my present talkpage stuff there. ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | - 21:07, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
But yeah, it would be helpful, if you could add that but all discussions should start on User talk:ForestH2 and then end up on User talk:ForestH2/Talkpage after they are finished. I've gotten a little behind. Anyway, got to work on my signature. ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | - 21:08, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Go ahead and add it to User talk:ForestH2/Talkpage if you'd like. Could you provide a link to your talk page? It would make it much easier, Ass you can see the + is my talk. ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | - 21:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The √- is User talk:ForestH2/Talkpage. ForestH2 | + | √ | √- | - 21:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Long plots

Yes, I just came across that yesterday and was thinking the same thing. I think the Synopsis and Plot categories should be combined. If you'd like to have a go at that, by all means go ahead. Let me know when you finish and I'll take a look. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 22:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, don't worry about it. I certainly hope my previous note to you wasn't death threat-ish. After all, better to condense the long information than to expand it. WP:BB. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c || 15:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (film)

Hey the plots looks great. I haven't viewed the Prisoner of Azkban yet but for the Goblet of Fire:

The beginning looks fine but I'm going to add some more sentences to end. It mentions nothing about the middle of the film or the end, mainly the beginning. It will be just a few straight forward sentences like "A Death Eater is actully Moody who makes Harry win the Tournament" For a newcomer they won't know about Rita Steeker or anything like that...they should know he won at least. Reply on here ForestH2 | + | √+ | √ | √- | - 16:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

There needs to be a little more in the plot. We don't have to go through all the details though. ForestH2
Uh a little more at the end. Nothing is mentioned about Steeker and other stuff. We need to put a couple more sentences that will be straight foward. ForestH2
Nabbed you on accident as a blanker on RCP. Sorry! — xaosflux Talk 02:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
To prevent further accidents like this, could you please give edit summaries? Thanks. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 (T | C | @) 21:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.
Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!
Signed...

[edit] Vandalism

Hi. Thanks for reporting 203.12.147.98. I blocked him. In future, the way you do it is to add this to the page: - Richardcavell 02:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Abilene Christian University

Yo. In response to your reversal of my removal of that bit of trivia, I shall attempt to tell you why I removed it. I simply do not believe that bit of information belongs in the trivia section for the University. The fact that the University is alphabetically the first in the country is maybe interesting enough to make the trivia section. But the fact that, when playing one specific video game, when you do one specific thing, this University is the default option is not interesting enough to be on the trivia page for this University. This is an article about the University, not about a video game. Also, sorry about the signature debacle. Anyways, Holla. --ILikeThings 02:23, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project. You have been identified as a project member and your input as to this matter would be welcomed at WT:CVU#Inactive.3F and at the deletion debate. Thank you!
