"_____ in popular culture"
I found three. est and The Forum in popular culture, Jayne Mansfield in popular culture and Black Swan emblems and popular culture. They are all GA and there are no FA on pop culture. Hope that helps. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 23:42, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

If you get a chance can you take a look at some recent edits for me. I reverted these for obvious reasons, but these are a bit more difficult. I'm tempted just to revert the lot back (except for the last couple of sections) due to the referencing being one at the end of huge paragraphs, but I could do with a second opinion. Thanks. 2 lines of K 303  11:05, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Never mind, due to the lack of page numbers amongst other problems I'm reverting the lot. 2 lines of K  303  11:07, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd be glad to take a look at it, though it now seems a moot point. ---  RepublicanJacobite  TheFortyFive 18:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Call Me Burroughs
Edits As you can see, I tooled around with this some and found some potential sources with DuckDuckGo, Google Books, and some free time. If you want me to keep on working on this, let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:03, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Caps The main article is at Compact Disc and not compact disc. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:10, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Picture Sure. First off, you can't use it in your userspace--since it has to have a fair use rationale, it has to be used only as part of the encyclopedia itself. So don't upload a picture until you're ready to move it into the main namespace. When you do, simply replace | Cover = with | Cover = EXAMPLE.JPG (you should also add | Alt = and some text to describe the image.) At the image itself, there is some boilerplate text you can use. You can copy and paste from here if you'd like and just swap out the relevant information. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Steps Okay, I'll try this again:
 * Get the image.
 * Get the article to where it's ready to be moved to the main namespace.
 * Move it.
 * Upload the picture to File:William S. Burrougsh - Call Me Burroughs.jpg
 * Edit the article and replace  with
 * Add a line in the template that reads  (provide an actual description per WP:ALT--something like:A black-and-white photo of William S. Burroughs' face with blue text that says "CALL / ME / BURROUGHS" or somesuch.)
 * Edit File:William S. Burrougsh - Call Me Burroughs.jpg and add the following:
 * == Summary ==
 * == Licensing ==
 * Believe it or not, I'm not a pro and things still trip me up. If this is still confusing, let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:02, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Need your help
Hello again,

You kindly said that I should ask if I needed your help. I promise not to be a pest, but in view of your considerable experience in coping with the vandals and the like, could you just tell me what happens next after my posting a report on the Administrators' noticeboard, regarding continuous vandalism and disruptive behaviour by a non-registered IP at an Open Proxy address. I don't understand the next stage of the process. Do I just wait... will I be contacted?

The poster never fills in an Edit summary and warnings posted on the IP Talk page never receive an acknowledgement. Please reply on your page; I have noticed that is how you prefer to operate. Thanks, Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 19:28, 27 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi, Thank you for your reply early this morning ( 04:05 hrs. in Hertfordshire )


 * Please don't concern yourself. I had assumed that you had experienced this action several times during the past years.  I understand fully that you are avoiding the tedium of edit changing supervision nowadays and concentrating on proper, productive work.  I do a little myself, but I am still not confident enough to start an article from scratch like you have so often.


 * I greatly appreciate your final comment. Thank you,  Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 08:59, 28 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Just to let you know.. and I hope I'm not tempting fate... that open proxy site has remained quiet since taking action . I did a follow-up with the admin involved a few days ago.  Still keeping a very close eye on The Sopranos page and The Godfather page.  Had some success on the Sopranos' Info'box/"starring... have a look, if you are not too busy!
