Explanation, please
Would you care to explain why you reverted me ? Favonian (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I rolled back the wrong entry. Sorry.  Working on fixing it now.  And easy on the "Would you care" business on my talk page. Boomshadow talk contribs 22:12, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Happens to me with alarming frequency. No harm done; I have put back the tags. Favonian (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

E.T. Edits
Not a problem, but the IP didn't put the word rumor, I did, as that's the case per the actual article, references, and the related [Atari video game burial] article - and the consensus of the video game project members involved in the articles. Though I just changed it over to "speculated" to go with the actual body of the passage. It's not stating the fact that a burial in New Mexico by Atari did not occur, because that certainly did happen. Just that the idea that the burial was solely millions of E.T. carts or that there were that many carts buried there is a rumor. As the references state, it was a mixture of many differt game titles, and computer and console equipment. BTW - if you're interested in reading more on the incident and other related Atari ones, you should check out the new 800 page Atari history book. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 15:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Gotcha. Will do. Funnily enough, the idea that Atari dumped a whole bunch of stuff is even more disturbingly funny, at least to me. The original conceit, that it was just one game (or maybe two, as some accounts mention "Atari Pac-Man" as well), made it seem more like just a very odd attempt to correct a major screw-up that couldn't be fixed any other way. My wife, incidentally, still has an original E.T. cart.Boomshadow talk contribs 16:41, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Spawn Task Force
Is this still active and can I sign up? I've been working on a few of these pieces due to the recent AFDs.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 17:46, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm honestly not sure. I don't recall signing up for the Spawn Task Force. Boomshadow talk contribs 22:53, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I checked it again (that's where I got your name) and it looks like it's archived. Probably explains the state of most of the articles and why people want to delete Jason Wynn, Overt-Kill, etc.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 00:53, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah. I may have signed up for it after doing mechanical (grammar, punctuation and spelling) edits, since I do quite a lot of those. Boomshadow talk contribs 00:56, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!
I thought the exclamation point in his name was very charming given the name of the series and sort of think it should be put back. They sound like amazing comic books. Trish. Rissa, Guild of Copy Editors (talk) 03:19, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


 * It could go either way, I think, but his own Wikipedia page uses the WP:STYLE naming convention, which uses his legal name (sans bang) in the header and mentions his use of it prominently in the article, so for consistency, I agree with the change. But that's just me. The books were a fun, if dated, send-up of DC at the time through the lens of anthropomorphic animals. I still enjoy them, but they're not a regularly re-read collection for me.Boomshadow talk contribs 04:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

St. Pete Beach
Are you interested in doing photo requests of St. Pete Beach? I'm interested in getting photos of city government buildings and schools there. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)


 * It's an intriguing idea, but I'm not a great photographer and I'm working two jobs these days. I'm going to regretfully pass. Boomshadow talk contribs 05:43, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
