Notice
I have nominated Nightswimming (Awake) at FAC now, and have listed you as one of the co-nominators, if that's okay. Same goes for Awake (TV series), at FAC now, again. Cheers, TBrandley 00:08, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. I don't know how much I can help with any comments that reviewers leave, though, with school starting next week and all. Davejohnsan (talk) 00:15, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No problems. I got the issues covered. Cheers, TBrandley 00:17, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Translation notification: Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012
Hello Davejohnsan,

You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to Spanish on Meta. The page Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012 is available for translation. You can translate it here:
 * translate to Spanish

The priority of this page is medium.

Note: This time, the "Wikimedia Foundation highlights" section does not include the usual coverage of the most notable work of Foundation staff during that month. Instead, it contains a list of talks given by Foundation staff at Wikimania, summarizing their most important work the year over. It looks like a lot of text, but only the talk titles will need to be translated. The intention is that these titles alone can already give readers a good overview of what the Foundation is working on in general.

I apologize Dave! Yes you're right, I'm not in the main cast line up. :) -Nyssap — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.152.3.175 (talk) 03:37, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Family (TV Series)
Hello. You recently made an edit whereby you suggested that the programme should be discussed in the present tense ie 'Family IS a TV Show.' When I did my edits, I was just following precedent (perhaps an unwise decision, in retrospect). Does that mean that the whole article should be changed so that it is in the present tense? Thank you. Please forgive me for my ignorance on this issue. (Galaxycat (talk) 19:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC))
 * Fiction is almost always written in the literary present, but this doesn't mean that the entire article needs to be changed to the present tense. Writing "Such and such was a television show" is incorrect because a TV show does not cease to exist after the production of new episodes stop. For comparison purposes, you wouldn't say that Gone with the Wind was a movie, since it's still a movie (albeit one from a long time ago). I know it sounds awkward sometimes, but that's just how it is in the English language. You do not need to use the present tense when referring to real-world things (e.g. "The show was produced at…) I hope I have clarified your question, but let me know if you still have any questions.

A brownie for you!

 * Are we supposed to be stalking each other now? I just joined a few minutes ago. ;P Davejohnsan (talk) 02:50, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, so did I, just ten minutes ago :) Coincidence? Cheers, TBrandley 02:53, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

This letter is a new translation request, but re-uses large parts of the 2011 Jimmy Appeal, with slight modifications in the second version.

If the 2011 Jimmy Letter has been translated into your language, you can probably re-use much of it for this translation. :-)

Ratings
Hey, there! I restored the ratings for Person of Interest, with rounding corrected. We can update to the final ratings when they are published, but for now, the fast nationals are accurate and sourced, so there's no need to remove them; and it avoids an edit war with the 1001 IP's that will want to put them back in without proper sourcing. --Drmargi (talk) 16:16, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The IPs aren't an issue. I think it's better to wait for the final adjustments since they are ultimately going to be used. The overnight ratings are sometimes subject to more than minute adjustments, so surely you can see why it's not always practical to use those preliminary ratings. Davejohnsan (talk) 16:25, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You've completely missed my point, but never mind. The broadcast finals are out and up now.  --Drmargi (talk) 21:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I actually understood your point completely. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:21, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Two and a Half Men (season 10)
It.s probably not wise to revert on Two and a Half Men (season 10) any more for a while, as you've actually breached 3RR there. --  AussieLegend ( ✉ ) 21:08, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I didn't mean to breach 3RR there. Won't do any more reverts. That was why I started a discussion in the first place, anyway. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * On a side note, all this time I thought the rule applied to a per-editor basis, not page, so um... yeah, that was kinda stupid. Davejohnsan (talk) 21:22, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
 * While I agree that this edit was warranted, WP:3RR is a bright-line rule - if you've already made 3 reverts in 24 hours, you can only revert if the reversion is one of the exemptions listed at WP:3RRNO, and that one wasn't. Sometimes you just have to let things through. --  AussieLegend ( ✉ ) 12:10, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

2013 in home video
A user that you previously warned (User:98.30.67.79) has been repeatedly making incorrect edits on 2013 in home video. I'm hoping you can help me with him/her. Thanks. --Zackmann08 (talk) 02:12, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I would suggest issuing the appropriate user warning whenever this IP editor makes a disruptive edit. You can look through an (almost?) complete list of warnings on this page, or you can use Twinkle to issue one. If he's making factually incorrect changes, the best warning may be uw-error1 or uw-error2. If he's doing something else and you're still not sure which warning applies best, link me a diff and I'll help you. Davejohnsan (talk) 15:29, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the Family Guy Volume 10 DVD doesn't contain any Season 10 episodes whatsoever. It contains nothing involving the following season, therefore isn't apart of that season.
