Queen of Swords
I see you did not like my phrase "Compared to Zorro, but with its own defined characters". Maybe I should have put "Similar to Zorro, but with its own defined characters"On the Queen Of Swords page, not written by me, someone speculates that it was Zorro productions that killed the show. And it always seemed strange to me that the only official DVD is French and then with a differnt title to the French TV series.REVUpminster (talk) 10:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I have changed it to "Similar to Zorro (in the episode Death to the Queen, Colonel Montoya refers "To the skin of the Fox" when handed a piece of the Queens shirt)"REVUpminster (talk) 19:21, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems ok. I have been doing the Queen of Swords on a sister wikipedia site fot tv only,which has much more detail. REVUpminster (talk) 18:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, here is an interesting link re Zorro and Queen of Swords. I did include it in the article, to prove my sentence, but was not liked so I put it on the discussion page.REVUpminster (talk) 19:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting that vandalism!

 * Just wanted to say thanks for reverting some of the vandalism on those cartoon character pages. I caught one, and looking at 86.40.107.127 discovered more than 50 vandalism edits to similar pages.  I then discovered another set of similar vandalism edits done yesterday by the probably related 86.45.217.0 to the same pages and more. You saved me a lot of time!  Thanks.

Changing redirects
It sounds like your problem is with WP:R and your objections should be raised over there because, as it stands, this is pretty clear cut: "Some editors are tempted, upon finding a link to a redirect page, to remove the redirect and point the link directly at the target page. While there are a limited number of cases where this is beneficial, it is generally an unhelpful exercise, and it can actually be detrimental."

When I use redirects like this I try to make sure they are properly categorised and are used to keep everything together because in those cases there is a distinct possibility we will want those articles (I've worked on a number of media franchise articles and splitting off the different media is often the best way to go). If this is a direct link it takes detective work to find which incoming links refer to this article and update it. So, as the guideline states, it is better to have them than not, especially if they have a useful function. (Emperor (talk) 22:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC))
