Hi Danny
Thanks for letting us know about Mumford. I meant to say hi a bit ago, but you found me first. Welcome to the community; if you need any help with anything, let me know, as I'm a admin here. -- user:zanimum  (So you know, I'm actually the kid in the Betty Lou costume from a few Halloween parades ago.)

Gonzo
"That's not true." In point of fact, the second season of the Muppet show has an episode (Steve Martin?) in which Gonzo is referred to as Gonzales. Putting it back in Gonzo (muppet) later this week unless you have some compelling reason to leave it out. Brodo 21:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

"Cleanup" at Sgt. Frog
Do not remove Japanese characters from articles. This is the convention. WhisperToMe 18:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

FGordon
It's not a notable website and fails WP:EL, I'm unsure why it was added in the first place -- it offers little in regards to the 2007 series. Matthew 14:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes I saw it (that's why I said "little"), the article offers nothing more than the Wikipedia article could if it became an FA -- and all the information there is seemingly covered by the other links. Matthew 15:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I've reverted myself until we come to a consensus. Matthew 15:20, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Wiki Survey
Thanks for your feedback! I really enjoyed reading it! Sutton4019 09:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)


 * That's great! Good luck with your study. -- Danny  ( talk ) 13:41, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Pepe
Thanks for clearing up Pepe's Spanish origin. Muppetcityforum is closed and down and http://www.tandarra.com/pepe/index.htm is closed, so some more links might be helpful! Cuvtixo 22:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Honestly, I think the Muppet Wiki link is pretty much the only one you need there. That's got all the relevant information. -- Danny  ( talk ) 23:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Moving articles and naming conventions.
Please review the rules for naming conventions before moving more pages. Perhaps JGreb can assist you, as he's had to undo multiple moves you've made not in accordance witht he conventions. Thank you. ThuranX 16:50, 8 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry for the mistake. I assumed that if a character had "The" as part of his/her name, then that should also be the name of the article. Thank you for pointing the rules out to me; I won't make that mistake again. -- Danny  ( talk ) 19:01, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest/Notice board
Hi there. I note that you're being discussed here, and though that you should be alerted to it.  Into The Fray  T / C  22:57, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for letting me know. -- Danny  ( talk ) 01:22, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Drew Carey episodes
Thanks for the offer, but I'm solely a Wikipedia wikipediholic. But if you'd like, feel free to copy them and move them over. They will soon be made into redirects anyway, so if you want the information, you should probably move it over soon. Thanks for taking notice and good luck with your other wikis. --Nehrams2020 19:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks -- I'll take a look! -- Danny  ( talk ) 22:01, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

HM Wikia
I don't think it's really a solution of any kind, although it would be nice for it to happen. You shouldn't start a Wikia without knowing some people who will commit to working on it, though. Everyking 23:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, my idea is that there are currently people who are upset, because the pages that they worked on are going to be deleted. We could talk to them, and tell them that there's another option for taking their work to another wiki. You don't think that would be helpful? -- Danny  ( talk ) 23:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It would be helpful in general terms, but not in terms of Wikipedia itself. Absolutely, if you can get some people who want to work on it, you should create it. However, the episode pages aren't actually going to be deleted; they were just redirected, and the info can be accessed at any time if you know where to look. I hold out hope that we will eventually get them all restored. Everyking 23:53, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess the benefit that I see to Wikipedia is that it helps people to have fewer fights. There are constant discussions/arguments about the notability of episode pages, which makes the people who want to write those pages upset. In general, it creates a dynamic of admins vs writers that ultimately turns people off from contributing.
 * It feels to me like there's an obvious solution, which is to offer the contributors another space where they can write whatever they want, and when those pages are sufficiently developed, they can migrate back to Wikipedia. Right now, the discussion is a pro/con, exclusionist/inclusionist fight -- a two-sided affair that discourages everyone. I think opening sites on Wikia offers a useful third option that helps everyone to move on. -- Danny  ( talk ) 15:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT
Hi there. I see that you're adding the DEFAULTSORT magic word to a bunch of articles. Would you mind adding it before the categories rather than after them, as that appears to be the convention on Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. --PEJL 12:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, I will... thanks for letting me know that, I haven't seen it at the top anywhere. But I'll do that in the future. -- Danny  ( talk ) 13:00, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
