Rollback
Ok, you have rollback per the message on my talk page. I'll check out the vandals you mentioned. Graham 87 10:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Argh not again. Blocking seems to be pointless ... this person seems to be on a dynamic IP and can just float around until they find an IP address that's unblocked. I've Blocking just slows the person down rather than stopping them. I wonder if semi-protecting a few, but not all, of the Rugrats vandal's favourite targets will shock them a bit? Graham 87 01:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually the vandalism levels on that page are nowhere near as bad as they used to be - the George W. Bush vandalism was one of the main reasons for implementing semi-protection, and before that, the editors disabled section editing on that page so *everyone* could see their comment at the top saying something to the effect of "you will be blocked without warning if you vandalise this page". Those were the days. Graham 87 08:47, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Rugrats problems
I personally wouldn't semi-protect All Grown Up!, because I don't think the vandalism is frequent enough. You can try putting an HTML comment in the appropriate place saying "it's nine years per this source". As for the second question, fan art isn't an acceptable substitute for the real image. Either have the real image with an appropriate nonfree use rationale or nothing at all. That's my opinion anyway ... I don't dabble with images in Wikipedia for obvious reasons. Graham 87 10:19, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I've moved the article back. Please don't do cut-and-paste moves in the future - history splitting is not allowed per Wikipedia's license. It's best to ask an admin to fix it. Graham 87 11:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: He's back
Yeah I found him the other day as 69.182.44.239. The IP you mentioned has been blocked. Graham 87 09:31, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

It just goes on and on my friend
All edits undone, user blocked. Graham 87 04:09, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, just keep me informed if this vandal continues. Six month blocks seem to work well, and I haven't heard of any collateral damage from them. Graham 87 04:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Requested move
I've fixed the history of Talk:Rugrats. You can only move a page over a redirect when the only revision in the target's history is a redirect. So if you have moved Page A to Page B, you can only move Page B back to Page A if Page A has had no edits in the meantime. Graham 87 00:15, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Two All Grown Up books.jpg
An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Two All Grown Up books.jpg, has been listed at Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. XxJoshuaxX (talk) 00:50, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

It's probably not since I assume it shows the book cover or some copyrighted part of the book. I almost never deal with images so I only know the basics of image use policy. Ask at Media copyright questions. Graham 87 07:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, you can link an image or category by adding a colon before its name like Image:Example.jpg and Category:Actors which produces Image:Example.jpg and Category:Actors. Graham 87 07:39, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for the barnstar. Yeah images, especially non-free ones, are quite hard to work with. Graham 87 07:58, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Torchwood soundtrack page
A glance at Silva Screen's website shows that the soundtrack is real, so it's not a deletion candidate, but it would be good if the page indicated where the information like the track listings came from. I'd drop the page's creator a friendly note, explaining about WP:RS and WP:NOR, and asking where the track listings came from. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

More Rugrats vandalism
I've blocked User:JohnTBoy, but I don't see the point in deleting the userpage as it's not doing any harm. I won't block the IP addresses quite yet ... the autoblock on the user should stop him for a day or so. Graham 87 05:56, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

More rugrats vandalism
I've blocked the IP's you mentioned for six months. If edits to Rugrats-related articles are vandalism, assume every other recent edit by that IP is vandalism and revert it as well with an edit summary like "rv serial vandal", or rollback them if there are lots of edits. Graham 87 00:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

DYK
I'm not certain how the "credit" is allocated, but when you submit a nomination for DYK you say whether it is a "self-nom" or not. I said it was a "sort of self-nom" and said that Wolf of Fenric had done most of the work and I'd added to it; the editor who put the article into DYK gave us both a "credit" note on our talk pages. For featured articles, I suppose it's up to the individual editor whether they want to take credit or not. I brought Fun Home to FA status pretty much single-handedly, so I didn't have any problem bragging about it. I was also one of the editors who helped bring Dalek through FAR, but since I didn't really write that article I wouldn't try to claim it as "my work". It's probably a matter of individual taste. :) —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

WP:RFPP
Good question, and to be honest, I'm not sure. I suspect it's much like WP:AIV, WP:SSP or WP:UAA - comment from uninvolved editors are always welcome, but I suspect that as the people are bringing them to that page specifically for the attention of a tool-wielding admin, they probably want an admin to have the final say. That doesn't stop anyone from putting in their two cents' worth (the template that is used at WP:RFPP (RFPP) does have provision for a "note" section, so you could always use that to put forward your views. Generally speaking, though, people are coming to RFPP because they think the page merits protection. If they have a non-admin telling them that, I have a sneaking suspicion that they'd just say "yeah, great, thanks, but I'm going to relist it to get an admin's take on it".

Welcome
I saw somewhere some post of yours, and I say welcome back. The way things "went down" before was truly saddening, you've always been an excellent Wikipedian. Whatever happened before is very far in the past, I'm glad you've decided to edit wikipedia once again. All the best, (and feel free to remove this or request it's deletion if you wish - I've purposefully not mentioned here your previous account and I don't post here to arouse suspicion either). Keeper  76  19:18, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent news! I was always hoping you'd be back. That whole thing blew up so damn fast, with too many people (myself included) thinking they had to "get their 2 cents in", and before we knew it, we lost a good editor.  I don't know where I saw it, but I saw you "self-identify" as the "former ______", and I was all Woot!!! We got ourselves a vandal fighter back! You are in excellent hands with Xenocidic by the way, he is one of the best adopters out there, so however you got connected with him, consider yourself fortunate.  He's saved my butt many times (and he usually fixes my screw ups too :-)  Glad to have you back away from "the dark side".  I knew you'd come around eventually, you were just too good not to.  Be well, let me know if you need anything -- Keeper   76  19:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, you're right! That's where it was! That was a funny thread. I think I might "retire" sometime towards the end of march, just to miss the drama, and unretire around April 5th.  Should die down by then, whatever it is....Keeper   76  20:43, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Nickelodeon Newsletter - September 2008


Nicktropolis a GA candidate The article Nicktropolis is currently a GA candidate. It was nominated on August 14, 2008, and, as of press, is still pending a review. You can review the article, just be neutral when you do. Here's the important links:


 * Article
 * Talk page
 * Good article nominee page

New look You may have noticed some changes around the home page (and the newsletter). WP:NICK is getting a face lift, and so are most aspects of it.

Jonathan and Macy are working on this so far, but we'd love your help! If our code has an issue, or you think a new bit of code will make it look better, feel free to work with it!

Collaboration of the Month Our next collaboration depends on the pending GA review of Nicktropolis.


 * If there are problems Nicktropolis (per review)
 * Fix these problems ASAP.


 * When these are done, or if Nicktropolis goes GA
 * Work on improving Nickelodeon's article

Archives We made a new page just so we can archive these newsletters. Go to WikiProject Nickelodeon/Newsletter. I felt that was a bit lengthy, so I made a shortcut just for it. It's WP:NICK/NEWS. I created that so, if our delivery boy fails, you can still access the newsletter.

Editor's note on the hiatus The newsletter went on hiatus for around 3 months because I took a wikibreak to get away from all the drama on Wikipedia. Let me tell you, though: I'm back, and I feel better than ever. So don't expect me to put the newsletter on hiatus for a long while. —Jon How's the weather? - talk about me behind my back 00:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

John- I was on the show- please refer to imdb (amy gunzenhauser) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0509091/ to which you had removed.

please dont delete appropriate/real information. I just wanted to be credited alongside the people I worked with on All Grown Up. I was also a series regular on Preschool Daze, casted by Barbara Wright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amyreelz (talk • contribs) 16:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

WP:NICK Newsletter — October 2008


 October 2008



New homepage!

We've redesigned the home page for (hopefully) the last time for a while. If you don't like the new design, the old page is archived here. To match the new design, the newsletter's format has also been redesigned. I hope you like it! Note about member list

As the member list seems to have gone basically stale, I have removed all members from the list and moved the member list to a page that is transcluded onto the home page. Please DO NOT add your name to the homepage! Thanks!

Sorry this issue is a bit late...

Personal obligations have overtaken my Wikipedia time, and I haven't exactly had time to send out this issue. November's issue is coming soon. I promise. :-) Article of the month...

''Every month, I choose an article that I think needs help, or is just plain interesting. This month's article is Nickelodeon Magazine.''

Nickelodeon Magazine's article needs help. There are no sources. I know, for this page, it's practically impossible to get it to a FA, but let's imagine we're trying to get it to FA status. That will be a motive for us to add sources, improve the writing, etc. Let's work on this article for the wellness of it!

Colour of shorts
Hi John, I changed the colour of the shorts to more of a greyish the other day. I found a high quality .gif of the kit from http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/English_Football_League/season/2008-2009/premier-league.html I'm a Spurs fan and noticed in the game the other day that Bolton had more of a similar colour to the image at this site than the green currently on the Wikipedia site. So I copied the away kit image, took a sample of the greyish colour and got its HTML colour code and changed the green to this colour. I see you have changed it back, but tell me which one you think is the more accurate. The code for the colour is #333333. Tchoutka (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The colour of the away shorts and socks on that website is wrong (but not by much). From a distance the greyish green does

look fully grey but up close you can see that its greyish green. I've been looking for the code to make the wikipedia article

correct for ages without much success. Do you know of any other teams that play in a similer colour kit (either home or

away)? Thanks! Sloan is back!! (talk) 23:47, 28 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay never mind! I found the right colour code at http://html-color-codes.com/ - It's #003333 (grey with a hint of green).

Thanks for giving me the idea to search for a html website though!! And good luck for the rest of the season :-)

Holiday issue?!

We know you're going to be busy this holiday seasons, from ordering iPods to unboxing them. So we've decided to combine two newsletters into one: the Nickelodeon WikiProject's Holiday Newsletter. Hope you enjoy it! Member roll call

If you were a member of WP:NICK before the relaunch, please, please, please add your name to the member list! We need as much help as we can get! We currently have 5 members, down from a previous 40+. We know some of you are still here!

Happy holidays!

I hope all of you have a safe and fun holiday season, so get outside, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts! (in the Northern Hemisphere) For our Southern Hemisphere folks, get outside, and enjoy the sunshine, since it's spring/summer there! RfC on Nick.com closed

We now have the answer on what to do with this long-lasting dispute. The community has decided to split the Nick.com section into its own article. For this reason, I have opened a sandbox here. Let's get moving so we can fix this quickly!

Slight layout changes

We have made a few layout changes, some of which are temporary. You'll notice, compared to last month's issue, that there was an image in this column. It is now gone temporarily for the holiday (double) issue. Also, we have removed the box with the delivery notice to make it less flashy (and there were div issues, if you're techie). Article of the month

Note: This is a double issue, so we will not have an article of the month this time around. Sorry!

How about you stop vandalizing and pretending that other people do it?  You could have easily reverted to the version before he vandalized, but you thought it was funny so you put his stuff back!

Oh please. Don't get hung up over one little comma. In fact, it is much more appropriate to use a comma between a word and "and". It's basic grammar rules. Marcus2 (talk) 19:55, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * But I'm telling you now that the proper way to do it in grammar is to always separate things with commas, even between "ands", as I was taught. To avoid a possible edit war, I'm not reverting your edits. I might if we can settle on an agreement. Marcus2 (talk) 21:22, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was just continuing what I started when I picked up your second comment. Needless to say, I agree on having a consistent format for these tables.

 * If there's only one Order column for a show in which each act performed more than once, the implication is that the acts performed in the same order within each theme, but should we have a note somewhere to this effect?
 * How should the column headings be for these multiple themes? There seem to be a handful of different formats in use.
 * Do we really need the Mentor column? After all, it repeats information that's already in the article.  Maybe we could have the colour stripes in some form or another.  What do you think?
 * Should Order be the first column, or should it appear immediately left of the song title? The latter might make the table look better if we implement the colour stripes, and it would improve consistency in the odd cases where the order of acts is different between the two themes.

Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song)
Why put a X factor contestant's unreleased single above all the others artists that performed the same song beforehand? Jeff Buckley's cover, for example, has been heard as the soundtrack of numerous Series and topped Billboard Digital. Either you should create an article for Alexandra Burke's single, or not use an infobox. I think you are giving that cover undue weight. -- lucasbfr  talk 14:18, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * We got the same kind of TV show here no worries. But if you look at the article, this is about the original song, not the covers. Giving Ms Burke's cover its own section is seriously giving it too much space there. It's probably gonna be huge but the others artists that are given a sentence are not exactly unknown folks either. Hallelujah has been sung by many people, and if that cover is notable by herself (my rule of a thumb says it is), it should be on its own article. -- lucasbfr  talk 14:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Diana Vickers
I'm sorry for editing Diana Vickers page, i was trying to create an edit conflict so i would be able to insert a picture in, as i am unable to do otherwise (i don't know how to) this is the link i was trying to put as picture http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/oct2008/0/3/D90DB36B-E576-B8C4-2077AB05D38B2A5E.jpg Can i continue with this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pic Editor96 (talk • contribs) 18:33, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have contacted Pic Editor on their talk page- I think there was just a little confusion about uploading images. If the vandalism continues, they will face a block- I'll assume good faith regarding the Burke vandalism due to the self-revert, but they're skating on thin ice...

Alexandra Burke, iTunes thing.

Hallelujah (disambiguation)
Do you think you could help me keep an eye on the Hallelujah (disambiguation) page? Various IP editors keep trying to remove the reference to the Alexandra Burke version, which I think it's important to keep on that page as a guide to readers who don't necessarily know it's the Cohen song rather than any of the other "Hallelujah"s. I've tried but failed to have the page protected here, and if I'm the only one reverting the vandals I'm going to fall foul of WP:3RR. Over to you! Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, but it's debatable whether it's vandalism or a content dispute. Thanks for your help!  Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:12, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Is there anyone i can talk to about this ie an admin. It does not seem fair to keep just the one X Factor Finalist a non-redirect (besides Alexandra Burke) when the 4 contestants who did not win had their pages removed. Who can i talk to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.157.104.50 (talk) 14:29, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Let me also wish you Merry Christmas. You posted Q9 in my RfA, to which I have not yet provided an answer. At the moment, I have Q9, this request, and Christmas celebration pending. I just wanted to let you know that I do plan to get to Q9. Best. -- Suntag  <font color="#FF8C00">☼  21:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Congratulations
Hey thanks a lot! :) heh. I actually got beaten by you on the first (incorrect) revert, so I had more time to regroup... >_> Also, why don't you try [WP:HG|Huggle]] out? You have rollback, which is the only real 'requirement' to use it, and it is unbelievably powerful and very useful.
