[edit] Please be careful

When you created a recent AfD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Colbert Effect) you inadvertently deleted the <!-- Add new entries to the TOP of the following list --> hidden comment at the top of the list. A lot of automated scripts look for this when adding entries, it therefore broke at least one automated script "Twinkle". I've corrected it now so no harm done, but please be careful when making edits to these sort of pages. Many thanks.--WebHamster 17:15, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Freaky...

I was drafting a rewrite of the Jed Bartlet article only last week. And now you've done one. How utterly and incredibly freaky. Nice work so far! Brad (talk) 11:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos

I'm a frequent contributor to a lot of the The West Wing-related articles and I wanted to tell you that I think you're doing a really great job in expanding and improving those articles, especially with the "Character development" sections you're adding to articles about individual characters. It's really helping to give the articles an out-of-universe perspective, which they need. Job well done! --Hnsampat (talk) 04:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The West Wing pilot script

FYI, the link to the script for the pilot of The West Wing that you posted on several West Wing character articles doesn't work. (It comes back with a "page not found" error.)

Also, I noticed how you wrote that Leo's name in the original draft of the pilot script is actually "Leo Jacobi" instead of "Leo McGarry." Interestingly, "Leo Jacobi" is the real name of actor Lee J. Cobb. Do you know if this was an intentional nod by Sorkin? (It seems like Lee J. Cobb is the kind of actor Sorkin might look up to.) --Hnsampat (talk) 16:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll fix that now. I didn't even make the Lee J. Cobb connection - There's nothing in the script to suggest that it's an intentional nod, although it sounds like the kind of thing Sorkin might do. Shoemoney2night (talk) 21:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

If you're interested in leaving feedback, you can go to the article's talk page and follow the link. Thanks. — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 22:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Colbert_Report - 2008 writers/staff

Hiya, Shoemoney2night. Thanks for cleaning up and filling out the writers. But i have a question. I saw the show that night and while i'm certain Tiki Barber is not on staff,... he, Kevin Bacon, and others were introduced as such. My question is, where/what is appropriate notation of the joke that these folks were on staff? it may be that that's just not ecyclopedic-info, which would make sense.

Regardless, you are clearly well informed; are there resources elsewhere with specific information on given episodes? thanks for your expertise! Iggynelix (talk) 05:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem! Personally, I'm not sure whether a mention of the joke is strictly encyclopaedic - it seems a little trivial to me. However, if you're looking for information on particular episodes - or, for that matter, anything Colbert-related - you can't go past No Fact Zone and its sister site, Colbert University. The former in particular has a fantastic, comprehensive episode guide. Hope that helps! :) Shoemoney2night (talk) 05:58, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Nakedpicsoffamouspeople.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. BJBot (talk) 12:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE: The Colbert/O'Brien/Stewart feud

Y'know, your message couldn't have come at a better time, since, as you have already expressed, you are a fan of all three comedians, too, and I was really just about to call on you to help me with the development of this article. What I thought was particularly interesting about this feud is that it publicly, if not somewhat ironically, reveals that these three are actually pretty good friends — they're supposed to be competing for viewers and ratings, and, although they indeed are, they actually decide to help each other out by dragging an admittedly silly idea to absurd, hysterical lengths.

But, then again, maybe it's just because I'm a fan of these guys... :)

With that said, however, could you at least give me time to really finish the article. As I pointed out in one of my edit summaries, I wasn't through expanding the articles as of yet, and still intend to add information concerning public reception of the feud and its immediate aftermath (which should, I hope, help establish its notability). Perhaps you could help out in that regard? Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 16:26, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I have seen the outtakes reel[1], and I've always wished there were some way I could embed that video on my userpage; it is very funny, indeed — especially at the beginning when O'Brien realises that he could have seriously hurt Stewart with that real beer bottle! :)

Concerning the notability of the "feud" itself: I'm pretty much done transferring the information concerning the "feud" itself, and will now focus on the media's reaction to the feud, as well as the ratings increase and public reception that resulted of it. I sincerely hope that will establish the notability of the article's subject, but then again...

Oh, well! I'm not going to have time to do that tonight, anyway. The shows are about to come on where I live, so I apologize for not being able to flesh the article out any further at the moment, but I've run out of time for the day's session. :)

Thank you for your comments though. I truly appreciate it. d:-) --Cinemaniac (talk • contribs • critique) 02:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
