Hi, "ZanderZ" and welcome to Wikipedia. A few tips for you:

[edit] As the World Turns

Are you a fan of soaps? Mike H 20:48, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] ATWT

I'm kinda addicted to ATWT, but I do not watch other soaps. ZanderZ 23:48, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The ATWT page is really lacking. You could help me update it. Also, Lockeownzj00 has an ATWT update on his things to do. You should talk with him. Welcome! Mike H 23:31, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)
Ooh, you're Dutch? I've heard ATWT is big in the Netherlands. Mike H 23:46, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm Dutch :) ATWT is quite big here indeed. However, the episodes airing here are of December 2002. So it's hard to update it I guess. ZanderZ 23:48, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, I meant like past history. How long has it been airing there? Mike H 23:49, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

It's on since 1990 I think, so that would be the 1988 season. I've been watching since around the 1996 season. If you have any ideas on what to do, I'll be more than happy to do it. ZanderZ 13:39, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Ooh, so they did air a lot of the Douglas Marland era. That's good. That was really the golden age of that show, besides the 1960s. 1996 was a very bad year to start watching the show, though. By all accounts, 1996 was easily the worst year in ATWT history, despite being its 40th anniversary. Mike H 13:41, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)
I've written some ATWT actor articles, like Eileen Fulton, Larry Bryggman, Martha Byrne, Helen Wagner, Don Hastings, and probably a few more. I figure they could be translated into Dutch, because someone would want to read them. Mike H 13:43, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

Still, 1996 was good enough to keep me watching :) It's a good idea to translate those pages into Dutch, I'll get started on that today. ZanderZ 13:53, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Boyee. Didn't realise it was so big there. Yeah, I've really got to get to it--shame you're not up to the 2004 era, though. Some pretty damn good stories. I'm less worried about older characters though, I want to make a big update on all the newest characters and story arcs.

[edit] Redirects

See User:B-Movie Bandit. Those articles were started by him and were redirect by User:Lucky 6.9 or myself. We were told that this would be acceptable if someone would not take the time to write a better article than what was given. Mike H 22:48, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

You may be able to use these screencaps on the NL Wikipedia, since I saw you moved a Helen Wagner pic. I took them myself yesterday.

Mike H 16:35, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll add those images tomorrow, along with writing the articles which do not exist yet. Sander 18:19, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Hm, apparently it is not allowed to upload 'fair use' images to the Dutch Wikipedia :( I'm not sure why... Sander 19:58, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Soap history

Juppiter listed History of As the World Turns (1956-1959) on VFD. Please vote. Mike H 01:57, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Soap article policy proposal

Since you edit soap articles, I figure you might be interested in the policy proposal I've brought up on the talk page for the Soap WikiProject. If you haven't done so yet, be sure to sign your name on the regular page, noting that you support the work in such a project. Mike H 08:06, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about it. I won't be creating new articles on actors on the English Wikipedia, but I'll keep the things in mind for the Dutch Wikipedia. I'll do what I can to improve soap articles if neccesary -- Sander 08:58, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Don't remove the link

Please, don't remove the link in Gusanos article. I'm trying to improve the credibility of both articles. Almost nothing links to them, so I created the links between them. This is the nature of hypertext: there should be links between similar topics. Grue 12:45, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Create the link on the Liero article then, but not at Gusanos. LieroX and Gusanos are absolutely not similar!
There is already a link from Liero. How the hell they are absolutely not similar, I played both and there is _very_ little difference, at least in appearance? I'm not sure about gameplay since I had no one to play Gusanos with. Grue 11:50, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
The gameplay is very, VERY different. Ask anyone in the Liero Community. I'm gonna change this once again - Sander 11:54, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not for Liero community, in fact 99% people here don't know what Liero is. Lame underdeveloped sequels of Liero are even less interesting to the masses (I like Wurmz the most, even if it's dead). If some deletionist stumbles upon them, they will be listed for deletion, and they will be deleted. The best solution would be merging them to one page but this level of hostility between two projects prevents that. Grue 14:44, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] VWN en WCN

Beste ZanderZ,

Al enige tijd is er een Nederlandstalig chapter in oprichting, te vinden op http://nl.wikimedia.org . Dit wordt de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (VWN). Je kunt je interesse om lid te worden van deze vereniging hier aangeven.

Deze vereniging gaat eind augustus/begin september een Wikimedia Conferentie in Nederland (WCN) houden, volgend op Wikimania in Boston, gedeeltelijk erop inspelend middels een aantal discussiegroepen. Om iets dergelijks te organiseren is imput erg gewenst. Dus als je wilt meehelpen, of als je interesse hebt om bij een dergelijk evenement aanwezig te zijn, geef dat dan aan op nl.wikimedia. Ik hoop daar snel je imput tegemoet te zien! Met vriendelijke groet, effeietsanders 21:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion debates of a few supercouples within the scope of Wikipedia: WikiProject Soap Operas

A few articles within the scope of Wikipedia: WikiProject Soap Operas have been nominated for deletion. But this is before we've gotten around to truly improving these particular articles. At this rate, if these articles are more so targeted because they are soap opera couple articles, I find it very off, given that these articles are a work in progress. I was hoping that you could lend your voice on this matter in their deletion debates, as I will contact all participants of Wikipedia: WikiProject Soap Operas to weigh in on this matter as well. I do not believe that getting rid of these or any supercouple articles on Wikipedia is the answer, improving them is.

So far, I know of three true supercoupe articles nominated for deletion:

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:LieroX056b.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:LieroX056b.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:01, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
