Use of boldface
I've replied to you at the Prisoner talk page, but this issue is serious enough that I feel it necessary to warn you here as well. Your behaviour with regards to simple Style Guide issues borders on out-and-out disruption, and your insistence on pushing through your own style - despite clear opposition from numerous editors and the explicit directions of the Manual of Style (here, here and here, among others) - is unacceptable. Please cease this before stronger measures are required. --Ckatz chat spy  03:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * For the benefit of anyone who might come to my talk page for some other purpose and happen to see this, I replied at tthe other page mentioned, and refuted his entire position. Again, there has been no further action against me. --Tbrittreid (talk) 21:46, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Space Museum changes
Phew! that was a fast reaction! Thanks for the speedy work in tightening things up, and for the compliment. If you don't mind, I'll leave the Americanizations to others - there's enough to think about with all the reading, fiddly codes and stuff (not to mention foul flu). I'm slightly confused at how people arrive at the link corrections, I do mine by copying direct from the Wiki link on the relevant page - how do you get the other versions, so I can do the same? Thanks again. Cheers! 11:06, 7 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Archiveangel (talk • contribs)


 * A couple of quick apologies - first for not signing the above (I must have stopped for a cough on the third tilde) - second for not realising about commas inside quotes - but in my defense, m'lud, I would never have thought it or noticed such a thing; it just ain't sense or accurate even though its true. Take the sentences {Carmine Infantino regards "Flash of Two Worlds" as his best work} and {Carmine Infantino regards "Flash of Two Worlds," in Flash #123, as his best work}. The first is right - the story is called "Flash of Two Worlds" not "Flash of Two Worlds," there is no comma in the title, and I would have thought the point is to accurately quote the title. Not only that, in strict grammatical terms the sentence in the whole is technically now adrift a comma, so that would make it {Carmine Infantino regards "Flash of Two Worlds,", in Flash #123, as his best work}, which is silly. English language, what a mess. Whatever, I'm wrong and that's one for me to remember for the future. Ta for pointing it out.
 * The Chameleon Boy link error arose because while editing I typed 'Chameleon Boy' into search and got the redirsct http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chameleon_Boy as the link at the top of the relevant page, not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reep_Daggle. Never thought to look past that for the redirect. One more to watch for - but right now I'm back to bed, I feel foully flu'd up. Star Hawkins and the lovely Ilda will have to wait. Thanks again for the input. Cheers! Archiveangel (talk) 12:11, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

MLJ/Archie comics project workplan
I've decided to take on revising the MLJ/Archie titles and superhero information over the next few months. Nobody else seems to be interested in tidying up a very untidy corner - it was first mooted 18 months ago at Talk:Archie_Comics. I wondered whether you could spare a few minutes to glance over my plan for revision at my home page. I'd appreciate any input - feel free to scribble or tell me I'm insane Archiveangel (talk) 23:52, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
