Barnstar
Hey, thanks for the Barnstar; it's my first. Here I was feeling like a huge nerd because I've been obsessively updating, expanding and merging like EVERY Dune page I can get my hands on ... LOL ... Thanks again. TAnthony 22:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Book Character Pages
Sorry, I wasn't aware that I had to have the whole page written up before I created it; I figured I could ticker on it and "build" it. As for having a "Characters" main page like you were suggesting, I was going to do just that, using the page created for the Stargate Film Novels as the root. As for the books, it doesn't matter if they weren't very popular and not a lot of people know about them; that's all the more reason to add them to Wikipedia, so that we can present as much information as possible.

Also...I get the vague feeling that you're intentionally trying to harrass me whenever I edit ANYTHING film-related. Look, if you want to like SG-1 I don't give a damn, but I'm allowed to like the film and give as much information on it as possible. If you're truly "not biased," then why support a monopoly of SG-1 over the Stargate universe, giving NO coverage to the film?? You may not actually be doing that, but is sure as hell seems like it. And since the film books aren't even canon (yet), then why are you so touchy about those, too?? Honestly, I'm afraid to edit/create anything here, because I know you'll harrass me. :( --Promus Kaa 20:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

New Friend
Hey, Kon, looks like you've got a new friend!

(I'm referring to "Profilio". *sigh*) SandChigger 23:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I envy you your "popularity". : ) NOT! SandChigger 01:45, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Jaffa
In the Jaffa page, it claims that the Jaffa are genetically human, their ancestors being normal humans who were modified by the Goa'uld to service as warriors and incubators for their young (which never made sense to me...why put your kids inside your cannon fodder?!? The movie's universe makes SOO much more sense...). Anyway, I was wondering if you could tell me where and when that has ever been established, because I'VE never heard that before, and if it's not true, I think it should be taken off of the "Jaffa" page. --Promus Kaa 05:35, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome
FWIW, that vandalism account is now blocked. Of course, since his first edit on that account was to blank your page, he's obviously been here before, and will presumably return with another account. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs)  20:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)


 * On that subject, I would like to personally apologize. If you don't understand, there's an explination on my talk page. Basically, Profilio is a relative who was trying to attack me by attacking various people on this site. It is very unfortunate that he chose, of the two people whom he did this to, you. So to reiterate, I am very, very sorry any of this occured. Infolithium 21:49, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Everything's going just fine with the ban lift right now, so let's just hope things stay that way. Infolithium 22:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Sophia Stewart
If she had won her case then you could say the things you are, but a judge heard her out and she lost. The funny thing is that she lost because she couldn't even file the paperwork on time, so I guess she didn't take the whole thing that seriously. Please stop adding in the POV stuff you are. The article is fine the way it is because it presents the objective truth, they got sued, she lost, the end. Konman72 19:25, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

A judge can very easily be corrupt -- as can lawyers. Personally, I think you should rely on her text which was obviously plagiarized rather than the results of a potentially corrupt judge and her incompetent lawyers. Did you know that one of the Wachowski's lawyers was the judges son but the judge would not recuse himself? In any case... I don't need a judge to realize her work was plagiarized and neither would anyone else who read her text instead of just claiming that she wasn't plagiarized because the courts said so. She continues to seek legal recourse and she continues to use the name of of the Matrix without being told not to -- because if they sued her and tried to issue a cease and desist order -- THEY'D LOSE THEMSELVES -- and not because of some technicality either. Nihilozero

For one thing, I am obviously not alone in the realization that the Wachowski brothers plagiarized. For another... majority opinion does not change the facts. At the very least YOU should read that which you are editing about or you are doing so with no first-hand knowledge and thus are clearly doing so out of ignorance. What you are essentially saying is that they (the Wachowski's) did not plagiarize because someone else told you so and that's all the proof you need. Read her story and then you would be fit to edit and and stand in judgement over this issue -- until then you are just preserving the status quo to make the fanboys and the people with the best lawyers happy.

Batman
I have now cited sources for my Batman section: "Batman as a villain". The talk section of that page provides more information. Mining and Oil refining (and drilling) are not environmentally sound practices and have been drawn into attention by the likes of Poison Ivy (an extreme environmentalist) in the movie Batman&Robin. If claims that they ARE green practices is allowed then I can't understand why counter-claims can't be made -- especially when a character in the DC universe has drawn attention to them. Wayne Enterprises DOES engage in the manufacture and distribution of advanced miliatry equiptment (that's how Batman gets his toys) and this behaviour is also of dubious moral character. The Joker claims that Batman pushed him into the vat of chemicals (although this is disputed) and several villians formerly worked for Wayne Enterprises.

Excuse me, but I thought I cited two movies (at least) for this information on Batman -- are they not valid sources?

Frankly I think you are mixing up your emotions over the Matrix/Sophia Stewart edits. I HAVE CITED SOURCES (movies, animated series) and also used examples relying upon common knowledge about the Batman universe that most people with slightest idea of Batman know about. You act as if you want me to cite a reference where Batman tells the Joker that he is his enemy.

 * PS: I try to only upload a new filename only if required (ie. changing to a generic name from a name that wouldn suit the new version) or if it is better suited to a new name, or if its a diff. format. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 21:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Watchlist
Just a general question. I have 90+ items on my watchlist and I feel like that's too many. How many do you or another average wikipedian have?

Faris b 04:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. I figured I had too many but figured it was just too many because I didn't know that most people have way more items watchlisted.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Orion.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Orion.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 20:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Stargate
Hi. You questioned "Because of these differences, some fans of the film consider the television series as its own separate entity, rather than a proper sequel to the film." If you go digging through the page histories, you'll see that at least one fan of the movie feels this way. —wwoods 09:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey there - you added a request for a citation to my alteration (" In the film and in early episodes of Stargate SG-1 frost would form on the faces of the characters as a result of travelling through the Stargate. The reason given for this was inaccuracies in gate addresses due to stellar drift. The effect was phased out in series 1 under the explanation of re-calculating the newer gate positions and adjusting the dialing accordingly. It can sometimes be seen in later episodes when the wormhole is affected during transit.") which I agree with entirely. My question is, how do I cite something that is quoted in a television programme? Cpl Syx 12:02, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Stargate
Thanks for the information left on my talk page, I'll see if I can find the episode in question. Cpl Syx 23:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

All info from the novels themselves...
To which he'll no doubt reply "OR"!

(What's up with you, lately? Still keeping [being kept] busy?) --SandChigger 09:53, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Cheers
Thanks for reverting my comment over there. At least we know he saw it. What to do in a sitch like this? --SandChigger 08:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

+ ==My Talk Page== + Excuse me but I would very much appreciate it if you did not delete comments off of my talk page, especially when they were made by other users. This is outrageous and higly out of form. It is bad enough that you do it to your own talk page, please leave mine alone from now on! Konman72 08:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, everybody take a breather!
Kon, I deleted my comment when I got a merge error when I was trying to save the newer one; I assumed you were in the process of archiving and went ahead and deleted the older one. So it was my bad, not his. Which is kind of a moot point, considering everything else. --SandChigger 09:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
