[edit] Bumping into each other

Well, it seems we are bumping into each other a bit. About the various lists of film series, I am doing a complete rewrite of those lists offline with a rough draft in my sandbox. If you are interested in the little bit of work I have done, let me know and I will send you the exact locatio of the rough draft. (It is very rough.)

[edit] Message?

You're probably right; I should have left a warning. I imagine he was trying to be funny, but it was over the line. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll speak to him about it. Tom Harrison Talk 23:54, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

What happened exactly? The page seems to be deleted already.--Jersey Devil 05:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam

Hi Schizombie,

A project of which you are currently listed as a member, Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam, has undergone substantial changes in the past few days. Your evaluation and input would be appreciated.Timothy Usher 10:31, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Night of the Living Dead

Hey, I've been working on the Night of the Living Dead article for some time now. Would you mind looking over it whenever you get the chance? Thanks. Dmoon1 04:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'd like to nominate you for adminship.

Please accept. I've seen your work in the mainspace and in project space, and I must say I'm impressed. You show a great deal of intelligence, insight, and honesty. You refrain from grandstanding, posturing, and the passive aggressive behavior so typical around here. You're very polite and have a knack for getting along with cranks and other troublesome users. I've never once seen you obnoxiously quote policy. Your work on AfD is surprisingly reasonable and levelheaded. Wikipedia needs you as an admin. Just say the word, and I'll nominate you any time you're ready. Erik the Rude 22:52, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate that and I do try to do the right thing, but I think it might be premature - I haven't been around here all that long. Шизомби 07:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
You've been here long enough, all right. Seven months of active editing is plenty of time. I don't know your edit count, but it must be in the thousands. You should have the tools. After all, adminship is to be "no big deal," right? You've never offended anybody that I know of and you're impartial, smart, and honest. Do I have to keep singing your praises, or will you accept? BTW, there are people of influence who have been eyeing you as a potential admin. Erik the Rude 13:04, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beer poll

[edit] Teresa Gutierrez

Thanks for writing the article.--Rockero 08:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Witchfinder General

Hal Raglan has requested a peer review of the Witchfinder General article but has not received any comments. I reviewed the article for him shortly before he nominated it as a Good Article. He posted a message at the Horror Wikiproject talk page, but to no avail. Would you mind critiquing the article for him if you have the time? I'm sure he would appreciate it.

[edit] Request for comments on Keith Ellison (politician) page

As you have contributed in the past to the Keith Ellison page I notify you of a current request for comments on that page. Your input would be helpful.

  • Talk:Keith Ellison (politician) This is a dispute about where in the article about US Rep. Keith Ellison’s (first Muslim in Congress) ties with the Nation of Islam should be discussed. Whether since they were in the past they can be consigned to a segment enumerating the year of their maximum impact or if such enumerating lessens their impact which is held to be ongoing.07:39, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Al-islam.org#Full online books

[edit] 20th United States Congress

I was looking for the 20th Congress of the CPSU, but when I typed in 20th Congress it redirected to 20th United States Congress. The edit I made to the lattermost wasn't WP:NONSENSE. Would it be better to edit 20th Congress? Шизомби 15:06, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry, my mistake. I did not understand your intent. We need to create a disambig page to fix this problem. I will try and do so. I suppose there should be one for each Congress, but that will take some effort, and therefore some time. stilltim 23:39, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
    • Done, give it a try. stilltim 00:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Al-islam.org#Redlinks and external references

I hate to disturb you again, but as you can see by the most recent edit reverts, this editor seems to think that popularity on Alexa is the only thing that must be done to satisfy WP:WEB ... there's currently an AfD for one of the other articles they created about a website with nothing but Alexa ranking as a claim of notability ... I've tried adding {{cite web}} references to bloster their claims, but nothing seems to appease them. Thanks for your help again. 72.75.72.174 15:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] What is the precedence on userpages?

RE: Wikipedia talk:Survey notification

Privit User:Schizombie, crajdestvom

I noticed your comments on Wikipedia talk:Survey notification

User:GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard is currently up for deletion.

My question:

I am wondering what the precedence is on deleting userpages which encourage others to comment a certain way in AfDs and on wikipolicy.

Wikipedia:Spam#Canvassing and Wikipedia:User page don't seem to address this particular issue.

I have asked on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#What_is_the_precedence_on_userpages.3F, ANI [3] and Wikipedia_talk:User_page#What_is_the_precedence_on_userpages.3F.

Thus far, no one has shared any precedence. By precedence I mean, a history of other userpages similar to User:GabrielF/ConspiracyNoticeboard which have survived or been deleted in AfDs. Merry Christmas, Travb (talk) 02:18, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Tales.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tales.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: ILLUMINATUS!

Hi. You were the first one to mention my name in regards to the ILLUMINATUS! comic, so I'm dropping you a note here.

 My brief foray with Wiki last year was very educational.  The place seemed to be full of amateurs attempting to prove their pro status by being hard nosed, without investigating the facts first.
 I have a few things I will return here to finish at some point, but I got depressed about the news of Wilson's impending death, and holed up for a year.  My BS tolerance is much less after this.
 I have erased my name from the ILLUMINATUS! article (let THEM hunt down the comic if they want to know it...), and have posted images used in Bob's Meme-Orial on my myspace account: myspace.com/icarus_23
 I'd mentioned this on the Talk Pages of both ILLUMINATUS! and Wilson, but the ILL! one disappeared, DESPITE the avowed policy of Wikipedia NOT to tinker with people's Talk comments.  The Wilson one is virtually identical.
 I've already dropped a version of this message to Skiddoo 23 , who first mentioned the comic -- I don't mind it being there, as it was in the 3rd issue, but for some reason I feel it should be more of a mystery....

[edit] Need your help to apply the naming convention for film series

Hi! I know that I haven't been around much in the last year, but I am sort of back now and trying to catch up on things that I left undone when I went on a long unannounced sabbatical from Wikipedia. One of the things that I would like to do it get the film series articles under control. To do that, a few that I have found misnamed need to be renamed according to the naming convention we agreed upon. However, there are those who defend a single word in an article title as if it were sacred, such is the case with a few of the discussions below and the word "trilogy." The detractor(s) for the convention cling to the word trilogy as if for dear life. Could you take a look at the articles in question and give me your opinion on the matter? I would really appreciate your take on this.

Also, the convention we came up with for film series is being discussed further. If you want to jump back into this, please do so.

Thank you for your time. - LA @ 09:16, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scrabble word lists

While I hesitate to use talk pages as forums, I can explain the TWL/SOWPODS thing here. TWL is used mostly in North America, whereas SOWPODS is used most other places. The major difference is that SOWPODS has many more words, especially two letter words (SOWPODS has 23 more). As a TWL player, I find SOWPODS games largely unplayable and ridiculous because so much strategy is killed by ridiculous two letter words like OO, EE, CH, GU, and numerous others. The strategy of the game is changed drastically by changing which letters can be used for blocking, among other things. Does that answer your question? Oren0 (talk) 17:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Just an additional note as to why SOWPODS isn't universally used - there are mostly historical reasons. The OSPD (which evolved into TWL) was created originally in North America in order to provide a standardized word set. It was compiled from several source dictionaries ("standard" desk dictionaries, not unabridged). Meanwhile UK used Chamber's, which contained a lot more words than OSPD and was the original source for the OSW (the game was owned by separate companies in NA and UK, had separate national associations, etc.). SOWPODS arose primarily to provide a common word source for international competitions and combined the two. There has always been resistance in NA to adopting SOWPODS, partly because of all the new words that would need to be learned. Whereas in places with the tradition of OSW there wouldn't be as many new words and SOWPODS was more readily accepted. Gr8white (talk) 21:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NSA versus Collins editions?

They are not the same. The Collins book is basically SOWPODS (see above) and is now the official source for British Scrabble.Gr8white (talk) 21:28, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
