Re: User:Gary King/localize comments.js
I made this edit because I had this problem; I guess it fixed it for me but broke it for you. I'll have to look into it more to see why it's doing that – weird. Gary King ( talk ) 19:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, that was a quick response! Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do to fix it, but that code that I commented out was for minor cases – such as when today is the 31st of the month. I imagine other dates work, just not those from today? If so, then not a major problem but I will still try to fix it; the problem is that now everything is fine for me but broken for you. Gary King ( talk ) 20:05, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, everything is working for me now. I just cleared my entire cache and now the day appears correctly. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 20:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay great so I guess the commenting out fixed it for both of us. The problem only affected the dates that were the 31st of a month, so the last time you would have noticed this was two months ago. Gary King ( talk ) 20:10, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. Well as long as everything's fixed. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 20:14, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Now I know why I had that code that messed the dates up on the 31st. It's because when today is the 1st of the month and yesterday is the 31st, then something weird happens with the dates. I'm still working on it. Gary King ( talk ) 04:28, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay I finally fixed it with this hack. It isn't perfect but it should do. Gary King ( talk ) 04:59, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Alaska FLC
Since the FLC was closed, I wanted to respond to this directly: "Footnote 13, "Governor Palin's term expires December 6, 2010; she is not yet term limited" -- does this need updating? I'm presuming she won't stay Governor now she is McCain's running mate"

Her term still expires on December 6, as will the term of any possible replacement for her should she resign. We can't crystal ball and say she will resign. --Golbez (talk) 02:42, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

FLC director
Hi Matthew, hope you're well. Can you remind me when you felt that you'd be able to take over from me as FL director? No rush! The Rambling Man (talk) 19:25, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh.. might be a bit of a problem with that. My access right now isn't as limited as I thought, however, my cable bill is due this week and for some reason it rocketed from $101.18 last month to $327.39. It's wrong, so I refuse to pay it and it'll end up being shut. Then I'll have to get DSL so it may be a couple weeks longer before I can take over. :( Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:54, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Image:DCS promo front.jpg
Hi. You deleted earlier today, following its IFD nomination on. The nominator said it was a replacable image of a building, however, this is false. The image is o Degrassi Community School, a fictional school in Degrassi: The Next Generation. The producers, Epitome Pictures, do not use a real school; it is simply a facade on their backlot which is not open to the public. While working on getting a number of Degrassi articles to FA status, I asked the production company in July if they would be willing to supply any free-to-use images but unfortunately they told me that they couldn't at this time. I was hoping you would be willing to reconsider your deletion since there is no replaceable image, and it really isn't a building. Regards, Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:32, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Matthew. I'm happy to reconsider (in this case by relisting at images for deletion) but I think the result is foregone. What is usually meant by replaceable in this context is that the image could be replaced by a free equivelant (per WP:NFCC) that is not necessarily an image. The image was a shot of a 19(6/7)0s ish school front with "Degrassi Community School" written on it. It's often the view that a simple shot like this, which is not discussed in the article, can be replaced by either text (or nothing). Apart from this, the image is likely to be seen to fail WP:NFCC in that it is decorative and does not add significantly to reader's understanding. While I'm happy to run it through IfD again, have you considered using the existing article from one of the FAs on the topic - Image:Smith Mewes Morrisette Degrassi.jpg ? This is one that could also attract sourced commentary. - Peripitus (Talk) 11:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

TFAR blurb
As requested. Just replace whichever current request has the lowest points, probably the first one. <div style="width:55%; background-color:#f5fffa; border:1px solid #cef2e0;padding:1em;padding-top:0.5em; color: black"> Degrassi: The Next Generation (also known as D:TNG, DTNG, Degrassi:TNG, or simply Degrassi) is a Canadian teen drama television series from Linda Schuyler and Yan Moore that premiered on CTV in Canada on October 14, 2001. It is the fourth series set in the fictional Degrassi universe created by Schuyler and Kit Hood in 1980. Like its predecessors, Degrassi: The Next Generation follows a group of students attending Degrassi Community School who face instances of challenges common to teen life. D:TNG is produced by Epitome Pictures in association with CTVglobemedia and distributed by Alliance Atlantis. The series airs on CTV, a Canadian terrestrial television network, although episodes of seasons six and seven premiered on the United States cable channel The N before they were broadcast in Canada. The current executive producers are Epitome Pictures founders Schuyler and husband Stephen Stohn, and Brendon Yorke. The executive creative consultant is James Hurst. Jody Colero is the music supervisor and selects all the music for the show, while Jim McGrath composes the music score. Filming takes place at Epitome's studios in Toronto, Ontario.

Featured content IRC channels
Matthew, can you please see the responses to your postings at WP:FAC (not sure if you have it watchlisted)? Several of us are very concerned about this and want to know a) where was this discussed and decided and b) what is supposed to happen on these IRC channels. Thanks. Karanacs (talk) 20:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm just the messenger. I didn't create either of the channels. Would you rather them be there with no notification? I suppose I could delete the edits where I did post notifications. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 21:35, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Considering pending changes at FLC, I'm very concerned about where you stand on this and how it came about. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 20:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you're unhappy with my appointment, FLC is the po'boy relation to FAC, and we're all secretly trying to destroy Wikipedia on IRC. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 21:54, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I did my part (more than enthusiastically, along with Tony) to try to help elevate FLC's quality, standards and prestige via the director elections and via the Dispatches, so please avoid the "poor sister" stuff. When one of the first things you do as director is something that will negatively impact FAC and all other featured content processes, I hope you'll consider the concerns expressed.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 22:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The only thing I did is notify every Featured content project page about the existence of an IRC channel. I don't see what's negative about that. I would have thought it would have a more negative effect if I knew of its existence and didn't let people know, so that only the pople who accidentally happened upon it would be there. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 22:10, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry you don't see the problem, acknowledge the harm, or recognize that, as a director, IMO your role as a leader should have been to completely discourage the notion rather than endorsing and promoting it. Of course, that makes me concerned about your judgment wrt featured processes.  Anyway, with discussion underway atWT:FAC, I'm going to unwatch here; this shouldn't be personal, rather about how to now deal with the bad effect this will cause.  It will certainaly affect my workload and how I will process FACs, and in the future, you might just give a second's thought to consulting with other featured process directors before enacting  or endorsing changes that will negatively impact all of us.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 22:15, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * "Following on from the creation of for discussing the WP:Featured list process, a new IRC channel for discussing all Featured content has been created. . Please see WP:IRC for more on using IRC with Wikipedia." does not endorse or promote. Yes, of course the discussion is being held at WT:FAC, instead of Portal talk:Featured content, because it only affects Featured Articles, not the entire Featured content. I'm sorry you seem to think I'm advocating something, and you're right, it shouldn't be personal, but it is. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 22:32, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

(undent) Serious thought should be given to shutting them all down, unless there is some reason why they perform some function that absolutely must be undertaken in real-time. They exist for social networking. They promote social networking. They are social networking. Wikipedia is not a social networking area; MySpace, Geocities and FaceBook are down the hall to the left. Ling.Nut (talk&mdash;WP:3IAR) 00:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Replying would be uncomfortable. I have personally been involved in case(s) that I would rather let convalesce in the dark somewhere, so that people can have time to set things straight. However, gee, it seems that I do not stand alone&mdash;my thoughts are echoed by many others. I suppose I can mention the Giano case, since others have. Valued editors have left because of IRC crap. Other consequences have been that quality suffers. Ling.Nut (talk&mdash;WP:3IAR) 00:49, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * But these channels have caused many good things to happen, as well. At any given time there are hundreds of editors in the more prominent channels, where general discussion about Wikipedia ensues. MySpace, FaceBook, and whatever else won't replace that, as they are for social networking, which the Wikipedia-related IRC channels are not. In fact, bugs and errors have been reported there, and some of them were immediately addressed. Now, it would have taken much longer to go find a noticeboard or a village pump and post, and wait for a reply. Just one of the advantages... –Juliancolton <sup style="color:#666660;">Tropical <sup style="color:#666660;">Cyclone  00:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Aha! yes! I totally, absolutely, 100% agree that an IRC channel for reporting bugs and errors is a Good Thing. You have hit upon an instance where real-time response is indeed extremely helpful... as for the rest, why are folks spending time chatting instead of editing? And.. if they are chatting about specific articles... don't you think it should be on Article Talk where everyone could see it? Maybe Madame Smith, Famous Left-handed Sanskrit Interpretor, will see the commentary and point out valuable resources etc.? Or not even madame Smith.. maybe just Collge Student Jones who happens to be majoring in Left-handed Sanskrit Interpretation...? And back to the key point: the negatives outweigh the positives. IRC can come up in ArbCom cases, but still, people have more free reign to be Colluders, Conspirers or A**holes there than on Talk. Ling.Nut (talk&mdash;WP:3IAR) 01:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

 * It probably is, it was a press release posted this morning. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  19:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've left what should be a few last comments, looks ready for topic addition. <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  23:10, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

FLC
So, when will you be ready for me to add your name to the list of directors at FLC? BTW, they are looking for a dispatch article for next week and I suggested that it could be an interview with you (nobody has responded yet), would that be alright with you? -- Scorpion0422 18:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You could do it some time this week if you wish. Just make sure that The Rambling Man is happy/ready. I saw you asked him if he intended to return to the directorship on his return. If he wants to, and we make my position temporary, that's fine with me.
 * I just saw his reply to your talk page too, and yeah, amongst other things my internet connection was down for a while. We've been having major money troubles recently, very stressful times, and WP hasn't been my main concern. Anyway, my wife and I have both got new jobs, we've got a new DSL provider instead of the cable company, and we're getting a new computer on Tuesday from Aaron Rents, so things are looking up.
 * With regards to an interview, sure, I'll do it. What does the process involve? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Matthew - you tell me when you're ready and I'll do the name-swapping! The Rambling Man (talk) 14:04, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've got my spanking new puter and I'm ready now! Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 03:06, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Great news. You got the job.  Good luck with it.  Don't hesitate to give me a shout if you need any help with anything list-related.  All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:38, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahoy hoy. I've been tasked by the WP:FCDW drill thrall to interview you as per Scorpion's suggestion above. I really don't pay any attention to FLC, never have, but I'll try to put some kind of interview together (just be prepared to be asked stupid questions :P) If you're up to it, drop me a line on my talk. Cheers, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 02:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I put down some opening questions here. <font color="#cc6600">Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs( <small style="color:#993300;">talk ) 11:48, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I will answer them in the morning. I had answered them earlier on but due a rather stressful day I forgot to hit save. [[Image:Face-crying.svg|25px]] Ah wells! Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ugh, I will do it tomorrow, I promise! When does it need to be done by? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 08:34, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I added a couple follow-up questions. Thanks for all your responses so far, we're definitely going to have to cut it down for the Signpost because you gave such detailed answers :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk  ) 16:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol, Scorpion said that too, but it's better than one liners! Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:54, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That is indeed true. I've cut some ancillary questions and some others I might fold into the introduction. Tony or someone might also do some slight paraphrasing (of course we're not going to totally change what you said... Or will we? :P ) Thanks again for the time put into the interview. 13:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Pink Floyd discography
Why didn't the discography pass, three supports two opposes and i did everything you told me to do, so why? --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 14:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not completely. And The Rambling Man's concerns were largely unaddressed. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:02, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Who cears about the ramblin mans problems he is not the FLC director you are, three supports and two opposes and what tasks didn't i do which you said i should do? --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 11:39, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

tell me. Im not patient so.
 * He has as much right to an opinion as anyone. His concerns were valid and were not addressed. Would you have addressed them if they had come from someone else? Please be aware that FLC is not a !Vote, but built on Consensus, and in fact WP:FLC says "FLCs with majority support can still fail if they do not fully meet the criteria." It is difficult to determine consensus when two supporting votes seemingly came out of nowhere, with no comments about the page while there were still things to be addressed. Support !votes do not hold as much weight as they used to, especially when they don't come with any comments as they appear to be drive-by !votes or an attempt to !vote-stack. Remember, There is no deadline, and you are always free to bring it back to FLC for another go. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 20:03, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, your right. Do you think that references needs direct sources?--Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 08:43, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I think huggle auto-rollbacks. Sorry about those ones anyway. <font color="Green">PXK  <font color="DarkBlue">T <font color="DarkBlue">/C   23:59, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Awards
That's probably my first template-related request, or at least one of my first, major ones! Erm, well, I suggest you create new templates for each medium first, like the ones you suggested for television and film. Then we can work on each separately. I'd rather not touch the musician one if it doesn't need changing, which it doesn't as your list needs a television infobox instead.


 * 1) Fifth one should be optional then, or we could just create a new template for you to use.
 * 2) Can be done, but the musician infobox doesn't need one at the moment. We can do it to the television infobox version once that's created.
 * 3) Same as above.
 * 4) "Pending"?
 * 5) Create them by copying and pasting.

Gary <b style="color:#02b;">King</b> ( talk ) 06:27, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Infobox Musician Awards is only really used by myself, but if more people are going to use it, or variants of it, then we should lay out which awards should be included in the table. I think that awards that have their own articles are technically considered notable enough to be included (I say "technically" because I've come across many cases where an article existed for an award, but that was most likely because no one had found the article; otherwise, chances are that a lot of them would have been sent to AfD.) Articles can always use the custom entries if they need to add awards that aren't already included in the templates. Gary <b style="color:#02b;">King</b> ( talk ) 19:25, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

harmony out of chaos
Matthew, I wonder whether you might identify explicitly the points/clauses/sections that need to be synchronised, and lay them out at FLC talk? Tony  (talk)  06:56, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

The O.C. (season 3)
I realise you are probably a lot more busy now as FL director (congratulations btw), but was wondering if you get time could you take a look at the third season list and add any comments to the peer review. Thanks, <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  20:26, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 20:28, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the detailed review. I've made a start but only scratched the surface. I'm away for the weekend so I'll address the rest when I get back. Thanks once again, <b style="color:#E32636;">Rambo's Revenge</b> <b style="color:#FFA500;">(talk)</b>  11:43, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
