Speedy deletion of Paula's Best Dishes
A tag has been placed on Paula's Best Dishes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thanks for the edits, but the statement about wearing leather was already sourced:. I don't think that YouTube video is a reliable source, and you need to avoid overlinking. Fences and windows (talk) 22:25, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Bert and Ernie
Please do not remove the gay wedding picture again. Wikipedia isn't here to "not confuse children". There is a sourced statement about the rumor of Bert and Ernie being gay, and this picture fits along with that.  C T J F 8 3 Talk 03:17, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Image
Per WP:MOSIMAGE, you shouldn't really set a size parameter, because it doesn't appear the same for every reader, especially unregistered ones.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  01:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I didn't realize that you had moved it at all. I thought someone else had done it awhile ago. I haven't really viewed the page in awhile, and since the image is really only relevant to the Production section and that was next to the infobox I knew it had to be moved for the image not to clash with the infobox. BTW, you don't have to create a new section on my talk page every time you respond, you can just respond in the first one you created.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  01:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:55, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Nightmare on Street
A tag has been placed on Nightmare on Street, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Freddy Krueger has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive.

A Nightmare on Elm Street
I have redirected your page for two reasons. The first is that we do not capitalize "Film" in the title of an article. The second is because all of the info for the upcoming film is already at A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise). Per WP:NFF the production of a future film must be notable for it to have its own page. We know nothing about the "production" of this film yet, because they haven't released anything.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  02:40, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Um, I'm not wrong. The only thing released about the movie is the casting and the two schools they plan to film in. That is not "production".   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  02:46, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think Bignole is correct, a new page for it can't be created yet. But, that shouldn't stop you from creating it in your userspace.  I think I moved your latest version to User:I Seek To Help & Repair!/A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010 film) -- keep it updated until production starts and put a note on some of the Freddy Kruger movie talk pages that they should receive a new link to your article when production starts on the movie.  At that time, one of us or you can move your article out into the main Wikipedia space.  I'm sorry the article can't be put into the main Wiki space just yet, that seemed like a lot of work, but I can see the sense in the WP:NFF policy.  I hope this helps -- let me know if I can do anything else. :) Banaticus (talk) 03:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I never said the film wasn't coming out, I said that until the production itself is notable we don't need a page for it.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Banaticus (talk) 02:42, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (Pictures)
Hi, I just wonder what the intent of this article is? At the moment it seems to serve no encyclopedic purpose. decltype (talk) 10:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I see, unfortunately, because the images are non-free, this is not an acceptable use. I have tagged the page for speedy deletion per criterion A3. decltype (talk) 10:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Non-free images can be used on Wikipedia in certain circumstances, covered by the non-free content criteria. Simply put, this is to ensure that if Wikimedia were to be sued for copyright infringement, they can use fair use as a defence. It's complicated, but in general if there is an article that discusses the movie, it's usually ok to use some images from the movie in that article.

Hehe, I got sidetracked and forgot to add the logo to the page you requested. I'll do that now...

Nightmare
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but one or more redirects you created have been considered disruptive and/or malicious, and have been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. ''Why did you do this? Your edit summaries are not helping me out: "(made temporary hard to find)" What does this mean? Moving creates nonnessecasry redirects. I have marked that page and it's talk page for speedy deletion.'' T3chl0v3r (talk) 21:43, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Moving pages
Please do not move anymore pages until you completely understand what you are doing. If you have a question, please ask someone, instead of moving a page a dozen times till you think it's the right one (which, it wasn't). Also, nothing has changed with the Nightmare remake, so there is still no reason to have a page for it.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:NFF, again. We have discussed this already, and the consensus was to keep the page redirected until it meets WP:NFF. Nothing has changed since that last discussion, but you ignored consensus and moved your sandbox over the redirects.

The franchise article currently has more information, better sourced, and better organized than the sandbox you moved into the mainspace. All reliably sourced casting is listed there already.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Reference Page
I userfied the multi-reference page you created at the mainspace and put it here. Articles on the mainspace don't need separate pages for references, you can include them on the article itself. Icestorm815 •  Talk  02:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation guidelines
Hi Repairman,

It's good to see that you're interested in disambiguation pages. Me too! It's not a common interest. You may want to review WP:MOSDAB; I've found it really helpful in trying to determine the proper format of disambiguation pages I'm creating and cleaning up. I've been editing disambiguation pages for a long time, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I enjoy discussing them!

Happy editing,

Neelix (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi Repairman,


 * This guideline should answer your question about disambiguation page titles. To paraphrase, the disambiguator "(disambiguation)" should only be used when there is a primary topic. Because no entry on the Red eye disambiguation page has been identified as primary, the disambiguator is not used. If, for instance, the medical concept was considered the primary meaning of "red eye", then that article would be located at Red eye and the disambiguation page would include the disambiguator "(disambiguation)" in the title. In no case should a disambiguation page include "(disambiguation)" in the title and have the term being disambiguated redirect to the disambiguation page. As for the table of contents, if it were to be removed, the best way would be to use "_ _ N O T O C _ _" (without the spaces) rather than changing the heading format. There is no guideline stating that disambiguation pages should not have tables of content. In fact, the opposite is suggested by WP:MOSDAB, as it states that long disambiguation pages should move the table of contents to the right side rather than leaving it on the left, which, by implication, would be the standard practice on shorter disambiguation pages.


 * Please don't feel like I'm rejecting your ideas. If you feel that the guidelines should be changed, start a discussion on the WP:MOSDAB talk page. All guidelines governing disambiguation pages on WP:MOSDAB, and they are all open for discussion.


 * Happy editing,


 * Neelix (talk) 02:52, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion
I have nominated your Vincent van Gogh article for Speedy Deletion. It is in violation of numerous editing standards including this: All the images should be no larger that 180px, with the exception of a lead image - 300px. Each image must have explanatory text and the article itself needs a reason to exist. It is superfluous at the present....Modernist (talk) 05:19, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Lullaby (Jewel album)
Hi! There's a move discussion going on about moving Lullaby (Jewel album) to Lullaby (album). Just thought you'd be interested since you were the one who moved it back last time :) Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 08:13, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, the same thing is happening at Andy Griffith (actor) and Lullaby (music). By the way, I agree with all three moves.

If you prefer to discuss it at the articles' talk pages, I'm fine with that too :) Jafeluv (talk) 08:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Hi, it's me again! I think the disambiguation thing was the result of a misunderstanding. As I explained here, it's just the cases when there's no primary topic that the disambiguation page is named something other than "xxx (disambiguation)". Feel free to ask me on my talk page if it's not clear from my explanation. Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 14:50, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Would you be interested in joining this project? We need more editors who share a burden for rescuing promising editors who have gotten into serious trouble because of behavioral issues. IF (a fundamental condition!) they are interested in reforming and adapting to our standards of conduct, and are also willing to abide by our policies and guidelines, rather than constantly subverting them, we can offer to help them return to Wikipedia as constructive editors. Right now many if not most users who have been banned are still active here, but they are here as socks or anonymous IPs who may or may not be constructive. We should offer them a proper way to return. If you think this is a good idea, please join us. Abce2 | Access  Denied  04:36, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

Thanks for the invite! I do think it's a good idea (a lot of my time on Wikipedia is spent dealing with various sock puppeteers), however I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge just yet! I'd like to spend more time here, and possibly get involved with mentoring or adopting new editors, before mentoring "challenging" editors. I'll start lurking at WP:WikiProject User Rehab, however, and don't be too surprised if I change my mind and get more involved.

Hmm
Is the example so much more useful when it's example.com as opposed to example.org? The reason the user tried to change it to .org is because "example.com" is what is added when you click the "External link" on the toolbar. Thus, to find possible test edits, people search for links to example.com. You having this permanently in your archive makes them sift through more results to clean up the errors. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b> <sup style="color:black; font-family:verdana;">talk 19:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Your comment on my talk page
I am unfamiliar with the article in question, and with the quality of Comcast's Spyware detection (and whether it reports false positives), so I am probably not the person to ask. Phil Sandifer (talk) 05:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Bitch move survey
Hi, and thanks for your answer regarding the Bitch move survey! You're right that some of the page views of the page may come from the recent move discussion. Furthermore, some may come from the fact that a reader looking for, say, Bitch (band) will first type in "bitch" and then find the page s/he's looking for via hatnote. However, even taking these facts into consideration, I'm certain that the page views support my view that the insult should be primary topic. The insult gets 39k views, and the second most popular page on the list (Bitch (Meredith Brooks song)) only gets 3k views, which means the insult gets about 13 times the amount of views than any other topic on the dab page. For me, that's a clear primary topic, don't you agree?

To make sure it's not just the attention gained from the move discussion, I'm presenting the page view statistics from last month. The move was proposed on May 14, so it doesn't affect the page views of April. Here they are:
 * Bitch: 54164 views link
 * Bitch (Meredith Brooks song): 4304 views link
 * Bitch (magazine): 2579 views link
 * Bitch (band): 1432 views link
 * Bitch (short story): 1101 views link
 * Bitch (performer): 779 views link
 * Bitch (Rolling Stones song): 637 views link

The insult article gets about 12.5 times the views of the next most popular article (Bitch (Meredith Brooks song)). As I said, I view this as clearly the primary topic. Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 09:23, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of MorphThing
A tag has been placed on MorphThing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

Nightmare
We've had this discussion before. No new information has come out to warrant a new page. There info is all nicely sitting on the franchise page. Your edits, though good faith, are becoming disruptive because it appears like you are intentionally just waiting a couple of weeks and then intentionally reverting the page back. Until this film meets WP:NFF, which means it must meet WP:GNG, then it doesn't warrant a page.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * First, they can update the franchise page. It's that simple. When there is actual production info to be related, then we can talk. Right now, there isn't. Casting isn't production, that's pre-production. Locations is location, and doesn't say anything about what's actually going on. Writing is something we need. Filming (like filming styles, discussing changes to how a character is filmed in this film as compared to the original) is another that we need. We don't have that, because they aren't talking about it. This movie won't be out for another year, which means there is a long time of waiting and we probably won't get any real information for a few months. There is no need to have a page that literally copy and pastes the same info from the franchise sitting around for 2 months with nothing new. We aren't going to ignore WP:NFF simply because you don't like the location of the info. Other films have to follow that guideline, so this one does too.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If you plan on adding plot summaries (which is what I assume you were referring to when you said "info") then we have a different adjust for the template that is used. The reason being, you should have the same color header for the episode data (writer, director, title, airdate) for each entry. It would look more like Smallville (season 1). Look at how that template does that.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * With the plot summaries in there, you don't need two different contrasts to separate the episodes. The plot summaries act as a natural separating, so they can all be the same color. BTW, some of these are reading very familiar, like from a website that I was on. If you are getting these from another location, please remember to summarize what is said, and not simply copy and paste (if that's the case). Otherwise, good luck and have fun adding the plot summaries...the page needed them.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * We do not report on "leaked" photos, because that means we're reporting on stolen information. Secondly, we do not make personal observations on photos (i.e. Freddy is wearing a polo shirt and fedora). When I said we are not a news organization what I was referring to was putting in information we're going to delete later because it isn't relevant to the historical preservation of the article. A year from now we will not care that there was a shot of Haley in a polo shirt pre-burn. We are not Shock Till You Drop, we're not a film entertainment website that posts updates on films. We're an encyclopedia. Yes, we get information when it immediately comes out, but that information is stuff that will continue to be in the article for as long as the article exists. The stuff about the school's pool is relevant now and will be relevant a year from now. The fact that there were some "leaked" photos isn't relevant to Wikipedia now or later. As for the other created article, they did not do anything but copy and paste the info from the franchise article. They have nothing knew.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I strongly suggest you withdraw. With just 6 weeks of experience your RfA will not pass... generally 6 months is considered the minimum to even contemplate a run. Please take a look at WP:NOTNOW--- I'm Spartacus!  NO! I'm Spartacus! 23:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I echo I'm Spartacus! and suggest withdrawing. You have been on Wikipedia under this username for just barely over a month, and very few (if any) editors are going to see that as an indication that you have the experience to understand and use the admin tools.

Replaceable fair use Image:BillSchulz.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:BillSchulz.PNG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 10:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Userification of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Hello,

I appreciate that you were trying to help out a new user by userifing this article for him, but in the future you really shouldn't copy and paste as a full edit history is required by the terms of the GFDL. You should have either actually moved the article using the move button, or preferably just assured the author that his contributions were still in the article's history: and could easily be restored when the film met our inclusion criteria. See also this thread on the subject. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Copyediting
Since you're listed in the Guild of Copyeditors as having an interest in "all movies ever" (although the interest in horror is obvious), I wondered if after your short wikibreak, if you aren't too busy, you could help me with Aladdin (film) - who recently lost GA status because almost everyone who I asked for help didn't reply.

The responsible for the GAR wasn't much clear, only on "numerous gramatical and stylistic errors" and that I couldn't do it alone. Take a look at the article and see what needs improvement.

Freddy
Technically, it doesn't meet WP:FUC on Freddy's page either. Non-free images require critical commentary about them specifically, and there is non on the glove (any of the gloves for that matter). Why don't I edit Freddy, mainly because I'm in the middle of rewriting the whole page to be more like Jason and Michael, so I don't really both "fixing" or "correcting" something I know will eventually be changed anyway. Right now, that page violates half a dozen policies and guidelines. There's just too much to fix, that I'd rather wait till I have time to finish the new page and just swap them out.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Appreciate it. I have a book, and the DVD commentaries..I've just been busy with the Smallville pages and Jason and Michael (the latter isn't finished either). Plus, I've been trying (ever so slowly) to finish the Friday the 13th page. You'll notice on the real page I've had to go ahead and start putting stuff in because I got tired of people adding unsourced, irrelevant stuff. But the one that's on the mainspace is no where near as complete as the one in my sandbox.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:29, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The rationale isn't so much the problem as the actual page. The section the image appears in needs to have text describing the glove, describing why the glove was changed, etc... from reliable sources. That is why WP:FUC and WP:NONFREE refer to when they say "critical commentary". At this time, I wouldn't worry about it. If someone hasn't removed the other images, they aren't going to remove that one. Now, hopefully, I'll be able to (one day) find info on what went into making the original and what went into making the new glove and then use an image of the old and the new together. Until then...   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:35, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That's actually on one of the DVDs, so, if it's used then we need to cite the DVD and the feature on the DVD it appears under. We cannot cite YouTube (who is currently illegally broadcasting that clip). I also have the Nightmare Encyclopedia DVD, so whenever I get around to watching that it should be good info.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  02:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * To the first, YouTube can never be used. If you see TV clips on there then they are there against copyright and thus illegal. Wikipedia cannot promote anything illegal. Also, if the clip is deleted, as often happens on YouTube, then the source is gone. If you are citing a Leave it to Beaver episode, and using the YouTube clip, then just cite the episode itself. LITB isn't out of print or anything, so it can easily be sourced by viewing the episode on DVD.


 * To the second, the "In mass media" is separated for two reasons. 1) I always separate out individual states until I'm ready to weave them into coherent prose. That's why you'll see on the Friday the 13th sandbox that some of it is prose and some of it is still bulleted out. This helps me to gather my thoughts before I start blending sentences to find the best way to say something. 2) I also do that when I don't have sources for something, and in this case there isn't a source for any of that information, and so I want to remind myself to find a source for it or drop it completely if I can't.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)


 * ANIghtmareOnElmStreetFilms.com is not the studio, and thus it is illegal for them to post clips from a DVD they do not own the copyright to. That website is an independent company, it's not New Line. If you look at the disclaimer at the bottom left of their webpage, they indicate that they are not intending to infringe on the rights of New Line with their posts. That's cool, but we still cannot cite YouTube. Their personal website is good for finding info, but we really need to find more reliable sources that talk about what that website has (e.g., They list X-merchandise, so we should try and find a third-party reliable source that discusses merchandise-X).   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, you shouldn't have created it first. You should have gone to the WikiProject to find out who would be interested in starting a task force. If it's just 2 people (you and myself) then there isn't enough editors to support a task force.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  02:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You can, but you also need to put a notification on the Horror WikiProject talk page requesting the task force. You cannot create a task force for another project without them knowing about it ahead of time.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the original was better, because you get more of a sense of the sweater's color, whereas the current one you have the sweater looks like it's black. That's why I didn't choose that particular version from the same website before.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  04:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Pages are not created, or kept, simply because people choose to ignore our policies and guidelines.

 * Yes. It's 99% the same as the franchise section. Adding a designer's name, or an actor's opinion thoughts on what the plot will be doesn't constitute production information. The film is a year away. The same issues existed for the new Friday the 13th and Halloween II. F13 didn't get a full article until about 7 months before release, and this is how much we had before when we created the page. Halloween II was only created about 2 months ago, and this is what we had for it. There probably will not be enough info for Nightmare to warrant a page for another 2 or 3 months...unless they just start flooding us with info here in the coming weeks.

Re:Freddy Krueger Copyright
So, each one is adds to the article in a way that words could not? All of them add to an understanding of the article subject in a very significant way? It's not about the number of images used- articles do not have a certain number of images they are "allowed" to have- it's about whether each one truly is needed. J Milburn (talk) 23:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If the change in his appearance is truly important. Is there sourced discussion of the change? Different styles of makeup, what critics thought, etc? J Milburn (talk) 23:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Discussion in the article prose? J Milburn (talk) 23:29, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure how this is ambiguous. I mean sourced discussion in the article prose concerning his change in appearance. For instance (made up on the spot, I've not seen the films) "Critics responded positively to the change in appearance, which focussed more on the supernatural nature, taking Krueger further away from his human form. The change was achieved in part due to heavier makeup, whcih was said to take up to three hours to apply, and in part due to heavier use of special effects." See what I'm saying? J Milburn (talk) 23:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm still not convinced. What's the purpose of this image, for instance? It just decorates an unrelated section about a supposed suicide attempt- nothing is mentioned about proms, promotional pics or how the characters look. J Milburn (talk) 09:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If it's not important, remove it. What's the purpose of the Dream Demons image? The Dream Demons are mentioned only in passing, and what they look like seems unimportant to fully understanding the character of Freddy Krueger. The image of the baby seems completely unimportant- again, the baby is mentioned only very briefly, and how it looks is not important. What is the purpose of File:Freddy vs jason promo.jpg? Freddy's appearance in that film is not discussed at all, though the film itself is. I can see the purpose for the New Nightmare Freddy, but what about his claw? The claws are not discussed, the image seems superfluous (esecially as you can see the claw on the Freddy image). Also, looking at those images, I'm a little concerned about the use of the non-free images, often without rationales, on related pages. If you don't want me to come knocking on them, I reccomend you clean out unneeded uses there. Also, I reccomend you tie the captions of any remaining images to the prose- for instance, for the New Nightmare Freddy, instead of "Freddy Krueger from Wes Craven's New Nightmare.", something like "Krueger's appearance in this film is more in line with what Craven had imagined for the character originally". J Milburn (talk) 09:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

No issue with the description pages, the issue is explained- what are the images illustrating? Why are they needed? (We'll focus on this article at this time.) J Milburn (talk) 09:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Further, I don't think the issue is with my explanations, it's with your understanding. When you failed for so long to understand what was meant by "discussion" of the images... J Milburn (talk) 09:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * An explanation of the importance on the description pages would be nice, but, right now, I'd like you to explain the importance to me, to give me a reason not to just remove them right now. J Milburn (talk) 10:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, we are agreed on the main picture, and on the New Nightmare picture. First of all, the claw. Simply stating that it is important does not make it so. If it is so important, how come it is not discussed in the main prose? Further, why is an additional image needed, when the claw is already shown on the image of Krueger himself? Seems a pretty clear violation of minimal use- two images are used, when one suffices. The Freddy vs. Jason pic- what is it actually illustrating? Again, simply claiming it's informative doesn't make it so. I can't see what it is illustrating, or what it adds to the article. The baby picture- if you feel it should be removed, please remove it. A discussion about its use on other pages can be had, but there's no need to leave it lying around on this one. J Milburn (talk) 10:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The claw is shown on the Freddy picture. Why is that not enough? J Milburn (talk) 10:40, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I mean in File:Freddy Krueger New Nightmare.JPG. J Milburn (talk) 10:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * The point remains that the change in the claw is hardly mentioned- the use of a whole non-free image to illustrate it is overkill. J Milburn (talk) 10:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
Fictional isn't needed. The fact that it isn't linked to indicates that it isn't referring to the real Springwood. Jackie Earl actually shouldn't be listed at all until the film actually comes out. The section is for "Appearances" and to claim that title the film needs to be released. Who said he was German? Caucasian isn't "American", see Caucasian race. Also, the fact that he kills a multitude of people in a single outing makes him a mass murderer. If he killed one or two people over time, then he'd be a serial killer, but he kills too many in single spurts to be classified as such. Mass murderers don't have to stop after one mass killing, it just defines the number of people they kill in each event.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  01:46, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, the page should be "Freddy Krueger..... In the original film, the character is known only as "Fred Krueger". "Freddy" didn't come about till the sequels, but it's the most commonly known name (hence why the article is titled that). This "Frederick Charles..." stuff is purely fan trivia. He isn't known by that name outside of a single film, that's it. It's always "Fred" or "Freddy". My assumption is that because of his last name that it is assumed he has German...but that's not established in the films (as far as I know) nor is it relevant to understanding the character any. The reason "Caucasian" is listed is because it's associated with being "White", and with his burned face you technically cannot assume he's white be appearances alone. I cleaned up the Ash infobox. As for the claw stuff, I can try. I've been busy trying to finish the reception section on The Last House on the Left, but I can watch the development of the section as you work on it and assist where you need.

Your GA reviews
Hi there! I noticed you have done a lot of GA reviews lately, which is great, but are you sure you are reviewing each article thoroughly enough? Seven reviews in an hour seems like a lot. The nominee should be carefully checked against WP:WIAGA criteria before being passed.

Thanks for the GA review. You've been going hog wild on those things lately it appears. To me, it looks like you're showing a lot of initiative in trying to gain that experience for potential adminship (I saw when you were declined). That's good. GA reviews are good and all, but I would suggest venturing over to the WP:AfDs and reviewing articles for deletion and giving your opinion on those. Admins are the ones that determine consensus of AfD discussions (might want to review WP:DELETION and WP:CONSENSUS as well), so that's an important piece of the puzzle.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:07, 19 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what you are talking about. The only time I have ever been anything other than cordial with you is when I have to repeatedly go back to the Nightmare remake issue with you. You have never once gone to the franchise talk page and asked "Is this info good enough to separate the page on its own", or anything of the sort. You have ignored just about everything I have said with regard to that film page, and repeatedly just recreated it (in various titles) without consulting anyone to every see if it was ready. There comes a point when being bold becomes disruptive to the encyclopedia. Other than that, that's the only thing I can think of that you have done that has made me address you in anything other than a friendly tone.


 * The infobox information should be pertinent in understanding the character, per WP:WAF. If I remove stuff it's because it is generally irrelevant to understanding the character on a basic level. The infobox needs to be to the point, and not contain extraneous details that are better left to other parts of the article. I believe that I have worked well with you when the issue of the infobox picture came up, even supplying possible alternatives that we could use and allowing you to choose from them. I feel like I always thoroughly explain my edits/reverts/deletions with you when I do them.


 * Hell, I even rushed to thank you for reviewing an article I put up for GA immediately after I saw you had reviewed it (something I don't have to do), and noticing your edits lately I commended your effort to be proactive in gaining more experience and even offered you a tip on other aspects to focus on that is often brought up in an Admin nomination (i.e. when I said you should look at the policy on Deletion and take part in some more AfDs.). In my above comment: "To me, it looks like you're showing a lot of initiative in trying to gain that experience for potential adminship (I saw when you were declined). That's good." -- You'll note that I clearly say "That's good", meaning I think it's good that you are trying to gain more experience for potential adminship. Now, if you find all of this hostile, I apologize for the misunderstanding, and I'll just mind my own edits and not bother to clarify anything anymore...so as to not create potential future misunderstandings.

Freddy
Serial killer should be removed outright and replaced with "mass murderer" where relevant. The lead only needs citations when there is something particularly controversial, as there should not be anything in the lead paragraphs that isn't in the body of the article (and thus, it's cited in the body of the article). Fictional wouldn't need to be cited anywhere, because it's obvious he is fictional. You'd have a hard time debating otherwise. The same goes for having appeared in all of the films, you can simply watch the film to verify that. Supernatural is a characterization, and should be cited when used in the body of the article.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Mass murderer isn't in the lead paragraphs, to my knowledge. As for when to "just watch the film to verify", that's typically for objective information. As pointed, there seems to be issues with serial killer and mass murderer that would constitute a reliable source characterizing Freddy as such. I don't need a source to say his sweater is green and red, because it's obvious from watching the movie and only someone colorblind would dispute such a claim.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:43, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * He is a "fictional character". A fictional character is one who is not real. Freddy is not real. A fictional fictional character is a fictional character within a fictional universe. For instance, Itchy and Scratchy are fictional characters within the fictional setting of The Simpsons. To say "he's a character" is vague, because there are different types of characters.


 * If that guy wants Freddy as his dad, more power to him. I doubt it would be a healthy relationship. As for your question about List of A Nightmare on Elm Street films cast members, yes, they are generally allowed. I would personally model the page after List of Harry Potter films cast members, because it's a featured list.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:22, 23 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Most of the references are for the upcoming films, because they haven't been released yet. Some of them, for the ones that have been released, are because a character was either incorrectly credited or the actor was not credited at all. The IMDb stuff really shouldn't be there, I would just cite the movies themselves because you can just view the credits to see all that's in there.

Hi there. Concerning your recent GA reviews; recently you reviewed several articles within a short time and put them all on hold.

Thanks for putting up the "citation". I was the unintentionally anonymous editor that pulled the demon spam down to begin with. It still wasn't neccessary to cite something to support a non-emperical statement, but you went the extra mile on that and did what the Bignole should have done if he so disagreed.

Apologies
I left an unsigned comment on your page yesterday. This was a technical error on my part. I still thank you though for doing what someone else was too lazy to do in the first place. -- JSAtkinson 06:17, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

My comments
Allow me to clear these events up real quick. I don't particularly appreciate being insulted for no reason, especially when I have had no contact with said person originally, and when I was doing exactly what I should have done with regard to unsourced information. I also do not need to be told that my comments were unnecessarily abrasive. I've been in since 2005, I know when I'm being abrasive and in that particular instance I was intentionally being that way. When people come to my talk page and leave me insulting comments about my actions, or try and "coach" me, I take that as baiting me to respond back so that they can "coach" me more. When you intentionally use my quoted words against me, in what I look at as sarcastic remarks, that, to me, is trollish behavior. It's very simple. Yes, I was a bit rude to him, and fighting fire with fire isn't the right way to go about things, but that's my personality. The other thing is, I was right with that particular edit, and I don't appreciate it when people insult me because of that. It's as simple as that. There's an expression of "never poke a sleeping bear". In reality, Joseph never should have come to my talk page in the first place. He had no busy harassing me about putting a single citation tag in an article. I would have assumed that you of all people would have taken the initiative to "coach" the editor who is rarely editing (yes, I noticed that myself, and I didn't need or appreciate a play-by-play on how to determine his edit count) on how to go about addressing personal concerns with other editors. As a future admin, I'd like to hope that you would recognize who probably needed more coaching in this scenario. The person who's been here for 4 years, was not having a day where his patience were full, or the person who rarely comes here and apparently does not completely comprehend the policies and guidelines regarding editing, tagging, and sourcing information in articles. I think that addressing me as if I was a child, or that this was my first day here, while at the same time buddying up with the user that started the incident by being sarcastic and harassing me about something really minor (which I'm sure you read originally), was the not professional, ethical, or appreciated. If this is the type of authority I'd have to look forward to from a future admin, then I'll have to make sure I pay closer attention to Admin Nominations. I personally expected more from you, but I guess now I know what to expect.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Actions
There is a difference between coming to me and saying, "I'm not sure if you're having a bad day or something, but you kind of bit the new guy. I think you may have been able to handle yourself better with regard to his comment." Instead, you came to me and not only tell me what I was doing wrong, but to also condescendingly point out every step I should take going from determining his edit count to even making sure a page I link to isn't a double redirect. You decided to fall victim to the same fire by fire approach that I did, and that was to be as rude to me as I was to him. It wasn't "childish", I'm in my right to remove edits I see fit from my page. Kind of like you just did with my previous edit. It must be the day of hypocrisies. It is nice to see that you haven't addressed your own actions with the user, and how you have yet to actually point out their behavior in this incident. Thank you for proving my point from earlier. I don't need this particularly brand of admin-hopeful authority, and trust me if I see how you are favoring some editors over others then I'm sure others see that as well. From now on, I'll go about my edits and you go about yours. Cheers.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:37, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: GA
Thanks for following up on your reviews from a week or so ago. Just to let you know, there is some confusion as to whether or not you actually passed some of the articles, as you seemed to imply they were GA ready while apparently closing the review without ever editing/changing the article's status to indicate that it was, in fact, promoted to GA. Here's an entry on a discussion page. Maybe you can shed a little light on this. Cheerio. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 06:31, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Elipses
When you directly quote someone you are not allowed to change their wording or structure. If you do, whatever you do needs to be placed inside of brackets. For instance, if a quote says "him", but the rest of the quote doesn't identify who "him" is, then you would put [Person's name], to indicate that you've added something to the quote. Since the original Englund quote is far too long, and I had to trim stuff out, I had to put 3 elipses inside of the brackets to indicate that there is information that was taken out of the quote.

 * If you undo something that has already been undone it doesn't show up because the action already took place. It doesn't indicate that it already took place, it just pretends to save it like normal. If you see vandalism, then you undo it and you do not see your name in the history (assuming of course the note of "There is 336 seconds of server lag" isn't at the top of the page), then assume that someone else must have done it before you.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  13:32, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, it's alright to drop the "A" in A Nightmare on Elm Street when it does not fit grammatically. In essence, the title is listed as "Nightmare on Elm Street, A" when you catelog, and so when the "A" interrupts the sentence you can drop it in favor of just "Nightmare on Elm Street".   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  13:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Grammatically you can, because it isn't a quote. It isn't someone's own words you're quoting. Grammatically, dropping the "A" is fine, and correct.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:09, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * They are a fansite, and fansites are generally not considered "reliable". If they conduct their own interview, and post that, then sure. If they are just posting stuff from other sources (e.g., Fangoria, LA Times, etc.) then always go to the original source (which you obviously know, because I saw you change one of the sources to its original a few days ago). The only active, official website for any horror movie that I'm aware of is Halloweenmovies.com, because that is owned by the Akkads (who produce the Halloween movies). New Line/Warner Bros. typically creates a general film website that may or may not post production info. Since this is a Platinum Dunes film, Andrew Form and Brad Fuller often will post stuff on their personal website.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think anyone has said she was Nancy's mom. I've read speculation from people saying they'd like to see her in that role, but nothing (not even scooper reports, which we cannot use) saying she would be.

Userboxes
Userboxes generally start "This user", rather than the user's name. Your box here shows the reason why - if the user stores the box on a subpage (as many people do), it doesn't draw up their name properly. Perhaps you'd consider reformatting your userbox to "This user" for consistency and suchlike?

Speedy deletion nomination of of Category:TV related templates
A tag has been placed on Category:TV related templates, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

This recently created (2 weeks ago), empty category duplicates the well-populated and organised Category:Television templates.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. thisisace (talk) 20:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Scarce. Please don't provide answers like this at the help desk.

Why was a [sic] added in this article? --- Scarce  ||||  Talk  - Contrib. --- 02:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Scarce,
 * Sic means there's an error in the original text. This keeps Wikipedia editors from "correcting" the misspelled quoted text. In this text, there are a number of spelling errors. But we shouldn't be correcting them when quoting them. A [sic] just lets readers know that the error didn't happen on Wikipedia. Best, Firsfron of Ronchester  06:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you the website owner? If it's possible, can you correct the text on the site so we can use the quoted portions without the spelling errors? I'd prefer to use text that makes Mr. Craven look good, and if it's quoted from an audio interview, it's not like he made those typos himself. Firsfron of Ronchester  06:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, but you said you wrote it as you heard it, right? So, did you write the version quoted on that website? If there's another version without the typos, I'd prefer to use that instead. Any ideas? Firsfron of Ronchester  06:25, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ahh. I have no problem copying the quoted text, strangely enough. But it appears as though the text here and there are the same. Sadly. I'd prefer to get a correctly-spelled version, if one exists. Firsfron of Ronchester  06:38, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * We can't fix the typos if we use the site as a source. That's what the [sic]s are for. Firsfron of Ronchester  06:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of of Death of Michael Jackson/sandbox
Hello there. The reason for the speedy deletion was given as ... "it was created as a mainspace subpage sandbox that was un-discussed"... However this is very curious ... How do you discuss an deleted page. I specifically was started a discussion about this self same article to garner opinions about it. Talk:Death_of_Michael_Jackson It matters not too much one way or the other, the section was absent from the article Death_of_Michael_Jackson. This is not my area ... writing about Michael Jackson. I thought I would let others know of the sources, images and write ups started. But if it is deleted, it cannot even be discussed... and the reason given was that it should be discussed so it is very circular going nowhere and it is also so confusing. But as Michael Jackson is not my subject area I will do nothing more in this regards to see if the Birmingham England Michael Jackson happenstance should be included or not.

Freddy Krueger images, again
I have nominated File:Freddy Krueger Fonzies.png and File:New Nightmare Claw.JPG for deletion. You may also be interested in a discussion I have started here. Finally, please lose the "troll" message. The edit notice should not be some cabinet for you to display your personal pet peeves. The guidelines are that you may remove messages from your own talk page- not that you can show off to everyone about how you're ignoring someone. J Milburn (talk) 11:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * My God, there was no attack in my message, and paranoia about personal attacks is certainly not something that helps the projects/interactions with other editors. If I've attacked you, you've certainly attacked other editors, in labelling them "trolls". J Milburn (talk) 14:33, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, what? I don't really care whether you and Bignole have talked in the past. J Milburn (talk) 14:50, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I do... What's your point? J Milburn (talk) 14:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You cleared the air... By putting a massive notice in your userspace about how he's a troll, and that you will ignore comments by him? Right. I don't really see what you hope to achieve by arguing to the toss here. The comment's been removed, and I would hope that you would have the sense not to ignore comments, just because they come from someone you dislike. J Milburn (talk) 15:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Twice today, you've gone for a "hahah! I win! You suck!" type message- here and here. Not only is it incredible immature, but it makes you look like a fool if/when you are wrong.

I'm not quite sure how you hope to become an admin with an attitude like that. J Milburn (talk) 16:18, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm an admin... I have been for a long time, pretty uncontroversially. What are you trying to imply? J Milburn (talk) 16:26, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "Check and mate"? J Milburn (talk) 16:29, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll assume that was ironic, but be aware that humour doesn't really travel well. You say on your userpage that you're looking for an admin coach- here I am, a fairly prominent and well respected admin, giving you advice, and you're just throwing it back in my face. To repeat- calm down a little, and stop being so confrontational. We're all friends here, let's keep it that way, hmm? J Milburn (talk) 16:37, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I take it you found the "Source: Variety" below the huge picture of Connie? They're link appears broken, but the dates are the same (May 21) for the reports, so it's got to be the same Variety article.

The only name their are keeping so far is Freddy and Nancy. Everyone else seems to be getting new names.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  03:07, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

GA reviews
Hi, Scarce. You signed up to assess several articles for Good Article status, and, perhaps due to taking on a lot at once for a new reviewer, the assessments are being discussed at the project page.

Some of the reviews have been open a while now without activity. To finish things up, please would you weigh in again at the discussion linked above to say whether you want to continue as the primary reviewer or are happy to have other editors take over the 5 remaining reviews?

You have pointed out that you studied the criteria, which is great. While some of the criteria like good prose are easier to assess though, the underlying guidelines or policies covered in some of the other criterions can be harder to get to grips with. I see it's already been suggested that you ask a mentor for assistance in future reviewing. Doing so is in no way 'bad'! After my first two reviews I asked one to look over them, to find out if they were okay; I asked a mentor for a 2nd opinion quite recently too, after I'd worked on an article during a review beyond minor copyedits.

Your enthusiasm for reviewing articles nominated for GA is admirable, Scarce. If you plan to take part in reviewing articles in the future though, you should please first make sure that you are familiar with the criteria, plus its associated policies, and how they are applied to the article under review. You can find information on that at RGA (and GNGA). And, asking for help, or just for fresh eyes on something, is always encouraged. Thank you kindly. –Whitehorse1 19:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello, Scarce. It's now been five days and you have not responded here nor as requested on the discussion linked above. You have also not responded to questions on the articles you signed up to review.


 * You have edited daily across the site during that time. While all of us have offline commitments or may do small on-wiki tasks faced with limited time, if you are around, it is important you keep people informed when you agree to a task like reviewing an article they nominated. Because you have not responded and this is unfair on those waiting, I will withdraw your under-review notices on the articles you signed up to assess. This will let a new reviewer take care of them. Please do not sign up to review further articles without making sure you are both familiar with how to apply the criteria and prepared to respond to questions asked in the reviews. Thank you. –Whitehorse1 22:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Scarce. Recently I check the article you write on the Spanish Wikipedia (this one) and I have to fix your translation to make it more comprehensible, though it could be understood by a native reader of Spanish.

 * Yes, you can use some images on Spanish Wikipedia as flags, coats of arms, roundels, smileys; but the signature preferably don't exceed three lines of wikitext. It's not allowed the inclusion of offensive pictures (as nazi symbols, nor the Franco's Spain flag) or images larger than 15px. If you wish, you can add colors to your signature.

Hello, I discovered that you reviewed Fireproof (film) on June 19, 2009, though there was no indication of the review on the WP:GAN page.

Portal and 25/8
The portal looks good (though I'd probably not have the gray background with gray text, kind of hard to read), my only concern is that it's topic is too small. Meaning, you're going to be recycling a lot of information because there just are not that many pages for this topic.

As for 25/8, right now I think it doesn't deserve a page. I would either boldy redirect the page back to Craven's page, or start a merge discussion and see what happens. I would invoke WP:NFF when doing anything, as it clearly states that all future films must have notable productions to warrant a page and this page's production isn't even sourced.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Let me know when you start the discussion. As for the article number, I'm referring to actual topics on the mainspace (see what's at Category:A Nightmare on Elm Street). There are only 19 pages, and at least 3 probably need to be merged. I'm just saying I'm not sure there are enough mainspace topics to warrant a whole portal.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  23:38, 21 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Unless these shows are explicitely stating "Freddy Krueger", we cannot just simply cite the show. There are only a couple of instances that I know of where that is the case (The Simpsons and Robot Chicken). I have no idea about the X-Files thing, or the other. That's why it's just sitting in the section. Without secondary sources most of this stuff will have to go completely, because it's based on original research of people saying "that's Freddy" when the show doesn't actually say it. It's like how a lot of shows will have a guy in a hockey mask. Yes, that's clearly "Jason", but the fact that they don't call him that means we cannot just cite the show and say "someone dress up like Jason", because they could have dressed up like anyone with a hockey mask.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  04:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's in the sandbox because I pulled it from the mainspace article a long time ago. Just about everything in the "Popular culture" section I pulled from the mainspace article a long time ago. What about you talking about with the couch gag? I said that The Simpsons and Robot Chicken were the only ones I could think of where it was clearly Freddy Krueger (whether through identical appearance, or identified by name). I never said the cough gag needed secondary source (though, I believe if you go to the Jason article, there is a secondary source attached to it that can be used - see ). What I said was that I have no idea about the X-Files or any of those other shows. If those shows are trying to make an "allusion" to the character, then we need a secondary source, no matter how obvious it is to us fans. If they are flat out identifying the character (by name, or identical appearance - which would be a full outfit and burned face) then we don't.


 * Just a helpful hint, never use Google Web as your search. Use Google News, Google Books, or Google Scholar. Google Web gives you nothing but fan sites and unreliable sources. The other three give you usable sources. When searching, always put any exact terms in quotation marks. If you don't use quotation marks then Google will find any word that even closely resembles the one your looking for, but if you put it in quotation marks then it will search only for that exact term.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  11:13, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * From what I can see at the source, that could be an official logo released by the studio. At least, that is the way the article is presenting it.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  14:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * In this case, the "A" would need to be dropped. You cannot have two articles back to back ("the" and "A") in a title like that. It should either be "List of characters in the Nightmare on Elm Street series" or "Characters of A Nightmare on Elm Street". To clarify. The series is called the "Nightmare on Elm Street" series. The first film is called "A Nightmare on Elm Street".   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  01:24, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Infobox
There's no point for an infobox on a franchise page like that. Almost everything in the infobox is linked directly to the left.

BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  06:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * We have a table of contents immediately to the left, which is a link to all the appropriate sections. Those comic pages will be merged to the franchise page here in the future because they are not notable in their own right. The magazine should probably be merged. None of the soundtracks are notable and should merged back to their respective films. The only things that would have links would be the films, and they are in the first section of the article, plus in the nav box at the bottom of the page.

Requests for adminship/ThaddeusB
I wanted to take a moment to delivery a personal thank you (not "thank spam" :)) for your involvement in my RfA. (It passed 117-2-7 in case you hadn't seen.)  I appreciated both the kind words you said about my accomplishments thus far, and the fact that you declined to support based on some flaws of mine.  I am not perfect, and comments like yours will help me improve.  I will take your mild criticism into consideration as I work to serve the community in my new role.  If you would ever find my assistance as an editor or as an administrator useful, please don't hesitate to ask as I would be glad to help.

Thanks again, ThaddeusB (talk) 17:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Scarce. Following this I just thought I'd point out that both of the following:

As far as this goes, that's how the language is written. There are a lot of languages that are not written from left to right (like English). Some are written right to left, and even up to down. Regarding other language links that actually go to the original film. If they truly only cover the first film, then they need to be removed. If they go to a franchise page that is using the first film's poster as their "lead" photo, then that's ok. Just make sure it's only discussing the first film, and then remove it. They should already be linked on the film's page.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  13:53, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:Archiving
I presume this is in reference to Shakira? I was just passing through and saw the rather lamentable state of the talkpage, so I though I would be useful and archive it. In terms of Miszabot I have thought about it and I don't want to impose it on articles that I don't regularly edit. Even then I generally prefer manually archiving as then I can see what is being archived, whether I have missed something or whether I need to follow something up. Bots can't do that. It is personal opinion though and I don't feel strongly enough to remove it from articles once it has been introduced. Regards, Woody (talk) 17:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Robert Pattinson
Ah yes, now I see the difference. I thought you had simply used a different word so as not to sound repetitive. Is this better? Andrea ( talk ) 03:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * True enough. However, saying something along the lines of "currently unpublished" implies that it will be published but just hasn't come out yet, which isn't correct either. Andrea  ( talk ) 04:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm the one who changed it from "the film adaptation" to "a film adaptation". ;) I re-linked Pattinson because although it is linked once prior in the lead, it is done so when no mention is even made of who he is. I thought that when listing the main stars, which is probably one of the most important lines in the lead that most people will read, all of the actors should be linked. I wouldn't object to you removing it, though. Maybe that line should be moved up, actually, to right after the first sentence. Andrea  ( talk ) 16:06, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No worries! Also, I made some changes to the cast article, partly to deal with that Pattinson linking issue. Andrea  ( talk ) 03:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Digiclock
Thank you very much. Actually it's not that great: the code is inelegant and requires lots of repeats of expressions like: " (24++) " because the MediaWiki variables extension isn't enabled on Wikimedia servers. And even for all that, it doesn't support fractional timezones. I thought about perhaps splitting it into two templates, so the second would be called like a function, but it's also nice having its source kept in just one page. (Any thoughts?) Thanks for the praise anyway. • Anakin (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Re:Red links
Thanks for letting me know about the possibile notability problem! The notablity guide for actors says an actor is notable if he has multiple significant roles. Nick Lashaway, the name I redlinked, has had been cast in notable roles in 25/8, Little Murder, and The Last Song, as well as 7 other more minor productions. Isn't this enough? I know his role in The Last Song is very important.

Thanks again! Liquidluck (talk) 23:47, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks- I'll wait until one of these films is released. He's a main character and the primary antagonist in The Last Song, so with that and 25/8 an article should be fine once release dates approach and more press comes out. Liquidluck (talk) 00:57, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld
Oh my god, this article needs so much work. I don't even know where to start. Let's make it not suck, though. Any good ideas?  Audiosmurf  ♪ / ♫  09:55, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the article could take a page from The Colbert Report, with regards to the Segments section. That is to say, I don't really think it needs one.  The recurring jokes really does need to be reworked, or (preferably, IMO) stripped down and written into another section.  I'm just not sure it requires its own section, yeah?  Also, you made your signature pretty slick.  :0  Audiosmurf   ♪ / ♫  10:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I've never watched the show so I don't really know what the primary segments are, do you know? The whole "Joos" paragraph in the jokes section I think can be scrapped entirely.  Same with the former segments.  Do you think so?  Also, ha, I was actually in the process of creating this when you sent that last note. :P  Audiosmurf   ♪ / ♫  10:31, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's good, huh? I'd take a look if we got Fox News up here without fancy cable, but maybe I'll stream an episode or two.  We gotta figure out a less clumsy way to word this, though:
 * Gutfeld will also make frequent and graphic sexual insinuations regarding Bill Schultz, stating or insinuating that Schultz is a "pansexual dilettante", involved in various bizarre fetishes, is a virgin, is African-American or is a homosexual, among similar claims.
 * It just kind reads really awkwardly. I tried to fix it up a bit earlier, but it needs to be totally reworded I think.  Good work with the segments, too.  I think a bit about the "Pinch" character is worth keeping in, but I don't think it requires its own subsection.  A mention somewhere, possibly in the same area that the "Pinch & Me" segment is worked into, would probably suffice, wouldn't you say?  Audiosmurf   ♪ / ♫  10:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

deletion of images
To Scarce:

I have been following all of your "instructions" to the fullest extent. You accuse me of mindlessly deleting the tags; however, perhaps you should have clarified your reason for deleting my images earlier. Moreover, you requested that I add a link to my file on the Volturi and to also procure a reduced version of it. I have followed it most completely. This is a valid link. Please provide more "evidence" before you revert my contributions to Wikipedia, or I will be compelled to take further action in response.

The Schulz article
I added a section on his role on Red Eye W/ Greg Gutfeld. He is on the show everyday, and my article describes his role on the show, how Gutfeld makes fun of him. I even included a video where he acknowledges the "pansexual dilettante" comment (not that he is one, but he has jokingly been described as one by Gutfeld). I included the proper context for Gutfeld's intros of his guests.

For you to accuse me of vandalism is outrageous.

 * I did misread your message, and I apologize. But you should realize that many articles are slowly assembled, piece-by-piece, and their quality is gradually improved. If I wrote about his role on Gutfeld (which is what he is known for), I would have added another information (with links).

Yeah, that user has an obvious bias.

Regarding the Twilight redirect
Hi, I just want to point out that I reverted the change you made to the redirect at Twilight a few months ago, and make sure you realize my reasons for doing so. The reason it redirects to Project Twilight is because the proper name of that release is Project: Twilight. The problem is, that anything with Project: in the front redirects to the Wikipedia: namespace, and per WP:NCTR, the best way to deal with that, at least in this case, is to have the proper article title without the colon, but to have a redirect from the Wikipedia space that includes it. While I understand there needs to be a reasonable redirect to the Twilight taskforce, the other concern is that people looking for the article on Project: Twilight will fall through a hole into the Wikipedia namespace. I think the best solution here (which I only just thought of whilst writing this, and so will implement immediately after I post) would be, combined with keeping Project: Twilight redirected to Project Twilight, have a hatnote at the top of the article that directs people looking for the Twilight taskforce in the right direction. I think that'll probably work well for everyone. -- SonicAD (talk) 03:25, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Renesmee Carlie Cullen (Nessie)
Yes, but if you think of it that way, then alot of wikipedia pages should be deleted. If something is considered notable in the series, and the series is popular in a particular generation (ie. the twilight saga boom), then it is considered notable in general as well. Has Senverus Snape or Louis lane contributed anything to our generation, other than through literature? No, they havent, but they are one of the main characters of their series. I understand that there should be wikipedia pages for the other characters, but im just saying... The other characters dont have a book totally about them right?

Hello Scarce! You have nominated my page for deletion. You said that Renesmee is not a notable-enough character in the series. However, i believe this is not so. As you are probably aware (seing as you are a WikiVampire), the Twilight series is going into movies. Right now, there is Twilight, and New Moon available. However, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are scheduled to be playing very soon. I am a very big fan of Renesmee, and as you probably know, the movie Breaking Dawn is centred totally around her. She is one of the three main Cullens; along with Edward and Bella. They are a family, and all have their own wiki pedia page. I wanted to get a head start, is all, before someone else creates the wikipedia page (which they sureley will in the future). So i would really appreciate it if you were to re-think the deletion of the page.

Her father was not Phoenician, but a Christian Lebanese Arab. The person who put the Phoenician claim goes against the source #2 at the end of the sentence. Probably vandilism, therefore, my edit should be restored. --Qvxz9173 (talk) 00:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Drag Me to Hell
Thanks very much, Scarce; perhaps the strength of authority of my sources was rather lacking (as you said you'd presume a pure horror unless the producers or someone directly involved stated it to be comedy-horror) however my intention was to convey that lots of people seemed to find the movie funny as well as scary.

Drag Me to Hell Again
Hi Scarce, I removed those comments as they seemed to be form non-notable sources that didn't even warrant their own page. They were also just added below the page where we already had more notable sources and critics citing their review. The section just shouldn't be so long and it can be summed up with a category, no? Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * What do you mean they can be removed? I have video sources that say Raimi wanted the film to be funny and scary. And I've cited Allmovie as calling it a horror comedy. So we do not need several non-notable internet critics to describe the film. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

July 25, 2009 Help Desk archives
I enjoy looking at the archives because the most interesting and sometimes silly questions get asked.

When you reverted vandalism, though, you forgot to put the page back the way it was.

I fixed it. Fortunately I looked at the history. Vchimpanzee ·  talk  ·  contributions  · 18:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

There's a bear in there
At home I see a bear in this position.

Hey Scarce... I just saw you removed the category "Songs from film". You're correct that song was inspired by the film, but since it's been reported (notably in the Walt Disney/Buena Vista press release) that the song will be played over the end credits, wouldn't that count? I'm fine with your ultimate decision either way. Thanks. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ <sub style="color:#5100CC;">galaxies  02:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Removing editnotice from Scream (film series).
I re-added the editnotice, permission given to use it WP:RFPP. It has prevented vandalism significantly. Until article is semi-protected, please leave it. Thanks. Geeky Randy (talk) 18:54, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

It's usually best to explain on the User's Talk page what the problem is. I've issued a template:uw-blp1 warning to the most recent editor. If they keep it up, after the appropriate number of warnings you can report them to WP:AIV. BTW, how do you expect people to figure out how to edit your Talk page? Woogee (talk) 23:22, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * They did it again and blanked their Talk page. I've issued a blp2 warning and told them to read BLP and RS, and just blanking their Talk page doesn't mean people won't know they've been warned before.  Woogee (talk) 23:25, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * They're now on a blp4 warning. Last chance.  Woogee (talk) 23:28, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Are you aware that your apparently custom signature template does not work? Please fix it. Propaniac (talk) 19:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, you've been on Wikipedia a whole nine months, I'm very very impressed. No, I was not aware that you were intentionally making your signature appear ugly and broken. I don't generally assume that's the intention of any user, no matter how long they've been here -- even a whole nine months. Propaniac (talk) 22:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Most editors don't use custom sigs at all. Even if I knew that a user had been active for several years, if I saw their signature was broken (as yours appeared to be) I would guess they had only recently adopted that signature and hadn't realized yet that they'd made a mistake. I have no idea how custom signatures work myself because I've never had any interest in creating one. Propaniac (talk) 00:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Kerli_Tea_Party_music_video.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Kerli_Tea_Party_music_video.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 17:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Remember Me
Hi. Thanks for your edits to the "Remember Me" movie article. I added some tweaks too after your edits. The pre-screening of the film I saw yesterday evening (March 10 2010) explicitly had in its opening "New York 1991" (the year was clear) and after Ally's mom's murder and aftermath, it faded into the caption "Ten years later". So I annotated that. It was clear we were in 2001 in the film at that point. Best wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 03:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

File:Before_He_Cheats_music_video.png
I have tagged File:Before_He_Cheats_music_video.png as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Ok i'll leave the image in. I previously campaigned for the image to be included last time but a consensus was set up against it. personally i dont have a problem with it so i will leave it in. If someone decides it should not be used it will be nothing to do with me. Lil-unique1 (talk) 21:06, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
