Your comment move from to was done in a confusing way. There are guidelines for ]. In particular, note that "If another editor objects to refactoring then the changes should be reverted." Reversion would just add more confusion, so I suggest that you put the moved comments in <u>their own section</u> with <u>the original section name</u>: "Why does positive integers redirect here? Whole numbers not related to integers??". --] (]) 17:58, 8 October 2014 (UTC) |

Welcome to Misplaced Pages and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:God's Not Dead are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic or unrelated topics. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.LM2000 (talk) 02:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Vote on Merger of Vikings and Norsemen
Thanks for notifying me on the vote on Merger of Vikings and Norsemen. Dan Koehl (talk) 17:51, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
Re:Harry Dresden, Wizard
I'd be glad to, not sure how to go about it, though. The difference between "mage" and "wizard" might be slight, but there's definitely a difference between a "magician" and a "wizard". Ngebendi (talk) 20:59, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- P'haps I've been too hasty, but for the moment Harry Dresden is still a wizard. Not sure what to make of the Magician (fantasy) article, though. Ngebendi (talk) 14:04, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
- I kind of hoped the page was moved from "wizard", but has *always* been "magician". There might be more to it than I previously thought... Ngebendi (talk) 15:17, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
Covering works of fiction
As an encyclopedia, an article for a book would include a short plot summary, but call out section listing "plot points" as identified by Misplaced Pages editors would be entirely redundant to the plot summary and smacking of WP:OR.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 14:00, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Please read WP:PRIMARY: "For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source. Do not analyze, synthesize, interpret, or evaluate material found in a primary source yourself; instead, refer to reliable secondary sources that do so." Listing key plot points is analysis. --NeilN 03:21, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Dutrou-Bornier flag.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dutrou-Bornier flag.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:51, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
Your sandbox...
... was simply out of place among the category I was perusing to keep track of the Dresden files. So, do not worry. Ngebendi (talk) 17:18, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- @Ngebendi: It's all good. I would have done it myself if I had noticed that I still had the categories on it. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 18:18, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
Skin Game
Don't envy you, getting entangled with the OR police. For what it's worth, I support your interpretation even though I may not necessarily like the way you've written the synopsis (I haven't looked at the article). I've always felt there is no reason to nit-pick unless the article's description of a book's content is likely to be challenged. Deb (talk) 11:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- No, I just read your side of the argument and the extract from the article and it seemed pretty reasonable. Deb (talk) 12:50, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
- Unfortunately -
- (A) There is no section for uninvolved users to comment, and
- (B) I have a history with both TRPOD and TransporterMan and could be accused of bias
- So probably better for you if I butt out. My comments above are just moral support.

- It's a new version from the illustration workshop. I'll replace the old one now. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 16:19, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for your great work at the Illustration Lab. I really appreciate your help and contributions . Nathan121212 (talk) 16:58, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
Dresden Files notability
Have no idea what that Mikeblas was doing in tagging Cold Days for deletion on this notability issue, without touching the other pages. It seemed that an all-or-none situation. Thank you for addressing it for me. Ngebendi (talk) 04:14, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
- Me neither. Like I said in the RFD, it reeks of nerd rage, like he personally dislikes the Dresden Files. The fact is, the series is unarguably notable, and considering that there are only 15 books in it, all by the same author, all part of the same continuity, that means the books themselves cannot be anything but notable. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 12:31, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I appreciated it. I will read it carefully to improve my skills. Best regards.--Carnby (talk) 11:52, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- I marked the request as resolved and thanked your edit.--Carnby (talk) 21:08, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Just one request...
Hi, thanks again for your explanation. I just need some help in giving this colorized pic a more natural look. I did some times ago but I think it looks like a b/w pic painted by a child. Could you please help me? Thanks in advance.
--Carnby (talk) 20:17, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
Alright, before I start showing you any work, I want to post a few thoughts in the section below. I'm hoping you can take some of this away, and it will help you in the future. - MjolnirPants
- Oh, I'm a bit scared by your explanation since it is very in-depth, however I will try to study it carefully. Best regards and thanks again.--Carnby (talk) 21:58, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
- I know. It's quite a bit longer than I originally thought it would be, however colorizing images is (as you can see) a lot more complicated than it seems at first glance. I broke it off into a new section for clarity, and I'm planning on giving it it's own page as soon as I'm done. Hopefully, it will be helpful to you and others. :) MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 13:22, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- I've finished the tutorial, and posted it to User:MjolnirPants/Colorizing. Below this, you will see the finished re-colored version, side by side with yours. I hope you enjoy the tutorial, and I hope the new version of the image looks good to you! :) MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 15:02, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Armenian woman and baby is up for FP
Misplaced Pages:Featured_picture_candidates/Mother_and_child_in_desert: Feel free to vote. But, more importantly, is there any way to address the concerns raised by Adam at the nomination page? Étienne Dolet (talk) 23:19, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

I can't thank you enough for your help with the Armenian mother and child photograph and bringing it up the the FP status it deserves. Great work! You deserve this one! Étienne Dolet (talk) 07:21, 29 September 2014 (UTC) |
whole numbers redirect and natural number
Hello MjolnirPants, I saw that you reverted my redirect for whole numbers to integers. That is a curious thing. I'm pretty sure the explanation was given on the edit. The natural numbers page is under flux. Initially the page provided no definition for whole numbers, and even worse used them in other definitions. In contrast the integers page provides a good discussion on the subject. I would invite you to look at the integers page.
I attempted to add a conventional whole number definition to the natural numbers page several times, but each edit I have added on that subject has been deleted without comment. Yes, the last note on this subject on the page after days of back and forth was out of frustration (my bad), but it was a reasonable wakeup remark for the other editors.
Now a reasonable definition for whole numbers once again appears on the natural numbers page. We will see if it lasts the day. I'm not sure the state of the redirect right now. Still wisdom would suggest that the Integer page is a more stable source of good information and it would be good to take advantage of that at least until the natural number storm passes. Please take a look at the integer page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomas Walker Lynch (talk • contribs) 09:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Please tutor Thomas on his talk page
Your example of talk page formatting is very helpful, but it would be better to tutor Thomas on his talk page. Even better, would be to add your example to WP:THREAD or WP:INDENT and link to it. --50.53.35.229 (talk) 16:18, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- As you should already know, Thomas reads his talk page. That bright orange banner is impossible to miss. BTW, your example is better, so be bold. --50.53.35.229 (talk) 16:46, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. Your example was helpful to me wrt {{outdent}} and {{talkquote}}. And your example is better, because it numbers each comment and reply, and it does not confuse the subject with silly dialog. --50.53.35.229 (talk) 17:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
There are guidelines for refactoring talk pages.
Your comment move from Talk:Natural number to Talk:Whole number was done in a confusing way. There are guidelines for refactoring talk pages. In particular, note that "If another editor objects to refactoring then the changes should be reverted." Reversion would just add more confusion, so I suggest that you put the moved comments in their own section with the original section name: "Why does positive integers redirect here? Whole numbers not related to integers??". --50.53.47.9 (talk) 17:58, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
