Another annoying thing with the PPV articles

Apparently, it's custom to remove the poster images, and replace them with the DVD cover images (see the Backlash history). The reason given is "that's how the other events are shown." Seriously, shouldn't it be the other way around? Mshake3 02:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

American films

Please please!!! help fill in List of American films. Even if it is just a few details it all helps -any contribution you can make will be more than appreciated!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 17:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I did post it on the project page several days ago but no one appeared to care less. I don't usually go around asking for things -its just I really need help on them. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 20:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

TNA Victory Road

It's not a match type, and listing it there gives that impression. It is misleading in it's current form. It's a regular match, there is no such match type as a "match of champions". I think you are just doing this because I cam up with a compromise you don't like. Plus, you know it's not gonna stay like that, so why waste time listing it there now?

Thanks For The Help

I didn't know how to do that. Thanks for telling me--The Infamous Dr. Salvador 17:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Re Question

Here's how it is done:

1. Add {{subst:afdx|5th}} to the article
2. Click on the AFD link, which would be Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Whatever (5th nomination)
3. Add {{subst:afd3|pg=Whatever (5th nomination}} to the AFD log

Subsitute "5th" for whatever else there is. hbdragon88 21:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it was just an example, though I think it is on the fifth nomination now. hbdragon88 22:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

hey

why did you nominate Ultimate Spider-man story arcs for deletion? This article has already been nominated and it was decided to keep it.BlueShrek 21:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Double redirects

I'm only cleaning up what a bot left behind, theres only like 20 more, so you don't have to help if you don't want to. You can find them if you check under special pages, and look for double redirects. — Moe ε 05:09, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Marvel Ultimate Alliance

I've deleted a lot of the voice actors list on this article, removing, to the best of my ability, what appear to be non-main characters. I've used how often each one is mentioned in the article, and whether or not they're an initially playable character, and whether they just seem notable to me, as a guide. If you could give this a look, make sure I haven't messed up too bad, and make any corrections, that'd be great. I also added to the comment at the top of the list requesting that further additions be discussed on the talk page first. Not that it's likely to do any good whatsoever, but it's worth a try! Miremare 15:13, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, it was, but someone's re-added most of them already! It would really be better if that list were to go, and be replaced with a paragraph about the most notable of the voice actors or something. Miremare 19:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

TJ Spyke

How did you find that out? BTW, befoire this have you even heard of me?-- Kings bibby win 01:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi Rob

Hey, I wanted to explain the page blanking at Icegems1's page.

Actually, it was my "bright" idea and something I apologize for. Her and I are constantly stalked by one editor both IRL and on here and blank her talk page so that he can't read it. I probably should not have recommended it but that's the context. I'm sorry if this has inconvenienced anyone or caused any trouble. Drumpler 16:53, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

In reality...

...TJ's gone now. Alkivar protected his talk page because he kept removing the sockpuppeteer template. He acted like a child, and by doing so he forfeited his right to request an unblock. If I offended you with my statements on ANI I sincerely apologize. I was just doing what I thought was right, and the person I was doing it for showed that he didn't deserve it.

Gellert Grindelwald AfD

That AfD is getting a little out of control. I tagged the conversation with the "not a ballot" tag. Anyone can add those tags, so if you see an AfD going in that direction in the future, don't hestitate to add the tag. Natalie 17:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous. I'm even a fan of the series and I still don't care to read three paragraphs of speculation about Victoire Weasley or what Wilkes' first name is. I wish people would take this to the Harry Potter wiki. Natalie 17:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Video Game Cleanup

You could always make a Category:Video game articles requiring cleanup, and a {{Vgcleanup}} template that would add the articles to the category. You could use this - Image:Video Game Cleanup.svg. Just an idea. ~ JohnnyMrNinja 07:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Minor character lists

I just wanted to say that I appreciate what you're saying on the HP Wikiproject talk page. I definitely agree with you but many people in the project unfortunately don't I'm afraid. Misplaced Pages has become a repository for everything which I find unfortunate. User:Sandpiper has one of the worst views of how Misplaced Pages works in my opinion and I think it's these "turn everything into an article" mentalities that keeps Misplaced Pages looking much less professional and held down by users' personal favorite topics. All this detail certainly should go to a separate project; I'm partial to my Wikibook but there are of course others as well. In the end, I want to say "keep fighting" because it's this sort of thing that made me switch to Wikibooks but perhaps you'll actually change some opinions here. -withinfocus 12:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Far too much cruft?

Ah, yes, the pain of having to supply information that millions are interested in, in the invasive form that is a few lines at the bottom of an article. So much better to cover two thirds of the characters rather than all of the characters.--Prosfilaes 16:20, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Marking controversial edits minor and edit-warring instead of discussing things on the talk page are both against policy, and potentially bannable offenses. The fine details of what goes into an article, on the other hand, so long as they're verifiable, is not policy. Please don't waste more of my time by responding to this on my talk page; do so where it belongs, on the talk page of the article.--Prosfilaes 20:14, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

If you're edit-warring over it, it's a controversial edit. That's what controversial means.--Prosfilaes 12:32, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

"If you are going to remove tags, give a reason instead of just being sneaky and removing it. From recent deletion debates: many have been filled with single purpose accounts, as well as people that vote keep for no reason except for that they like Harry Potter."

If you are going to add tags, give a reason instead of just being sneaky and adding it.

I'm not being childish at all, just pointing out some WP guidlines that you may need to learn/follow. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 18:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

OK. You can hardly blame me for not knowing that you know policies "just fine". If you want users to know this infomation, maybe you could include it on your user page or talk page, or maybe in your signature?

Re:Minor Hufflepuffs

This material has stayed there for quite a while without any objection before your edits. Sudden removal of valid information is "a big deal", which is why you have to bring the matter up on the talk page. Peacent 01:44, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Fiction refs tags

You wrote "Pretty soon I'm just going to watch all these pages, as these sections are clearly not better than when I added a tag a while ago." I'm curious...what do you expect to happen once the article is tagged? Captain Infinity 23:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

• Thank you for your response. I understand what the tags signify, but my question is, what do you expect to happen? The only thing I can predict is that you expect that by tagging the article, other people will come in and clean up the article for you. Is that it? If so, why not do it yourself? I don't mean to sound hostile, I'm just curious as to what you hope the tags will accomplish. Thanks again for your reply. Captain Infinity 02:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't get the whole "listcruft" concept

I just don't see how you can objectively measure how notable or not a cultural reference or parody is. You can make a claim that a reference in Shakespeare is more important than a reference in Metal Gear Solid 3, but without resorting to cultural elitism I don't see how you could justify it.

Minor Hufflepuffs "Other" section

We're discussing this at Talk:List of minor Hufflepuff characters#The "others" section. I neither disagree nor agree with your decision to remove that section, but I do believe that a clear consensus should be arrived at there before you remove that section again. =David_(contribs) 21:17, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
