Preity Zinta FA

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

I think DreamGuy needs to be reminded of the ArbCom's restrictions

Hey, I am trying to think of how to do this without antagonizing DG further, but I think he needs to be reminded of the restrictions from the ArbCom. Despite Colin's misrepresentation of the results of the arbitration, there were edit restrictions placed on DG and I think one could make a very strong case that he is not adhering to them. I considered reporting to WP:AN/AE, but he hasn't done anything egregious enough that I felt right about blowing him in... but he's really not adhering to the edit restrictions placed on him, and I'm not sure what to do. --Jaysweet 19:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, so about the anon IP thing... I saw your allegations and DG's denials, but I didn't see the actual edits. Do you have any of the revisions handy? That's a pretty serious accusation, so I'd want to be 100% sure. If he did do that, though, and is denying it, then I feel a lot better about blowing him in, because that's just not cool. --Jaysweet 19:32, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Post at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement Fred Bauder 20:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I made a report, but I still don't feel totally right about it. DG hasn't really done anything that I feel warrants a block, but maybe a reminder from an admin that he could be blocked will do some good. Maybe... I'm kinda torn. --Jaysweet 20:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
...simply tinks himself the smartest guy in the room. Normally, that last part could be applied tomany of us...' ha ha ha, too true, too true ;) I got a real kick out of that one.
Yeah, it's too bad, DG seems to know more about Jack the Ripper than I could ever hope to, but he just won't budge a single inch on any issue. In any case, I made the report at WP:AN/AE and linked to your comments on my talk page which contain all of the IP evidence, so it's out of our hands now. --Jaysweet 22:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Deathly Hallows

I didn't quite understand your point on the Wikiproject page. Do you mean a user page to save the current format? Alientraveller 22:47, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Blair Witch

Yes, the release date for Blair Witch comes from the Variety website. See . Blair opened in limited release on July 14th and expanded on the 30th. All Hallow's Wraith 04:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Tim Kring on G4Tv.

Hey. You seem like a logical guy, so i'm here to ask for some help. Tim Kring, the creator of Heroes, stated on G4's "Heroes Postshow" last night during an interview that "Heroes: Origins" is postponed due to the writers strike and not canceled. I'm doing my best to try to find a transcript or a video of that interview so we can add it as a source here on Misplaced Pages. I need your help to try to find that source. Can you please do that? The Postshow reairs on G4 tonight at 7pm EST, if that helps any. Thanks. dposse 14:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Tim Kring wasn't speculating. How could he be? I mean, it's his show. Did you see the interview i'm talking about? He said that it's definately been postponed. In his mind, and the mind of NBC, the strike is going to happen. You have to see his words from his point of view. In the world of television, if a Guild or organization says something that derails your show, then it has already happened since it takes a long time to actually create a show. Do you see what i mean?
Look, it couldn't hurt to at least find a transcript first and then decide what we should do with it. Personally, i feel that there is a no more reliable source then the actual creator of a show. It's not coming from the actors or a producer, but the creator. He's the top guy. Could you at least humor me and just find a transcript or a video? dposse 15:41, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Heh. Fine. I was just trying to help out the articles. dposse 15:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Look, if i do find a transcript, would you be willing to consider using it? Or just looking at it and then posting it on the Heroes talk page so Misplaced Pages can come to a consensus? I still believe that Tim Kring would know the production status of his own show. dposse 16:08, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Well, at least you're considerate enough to have an open mind and let Misplaced Pages form a consensus about this. Not many wikipedians are that considerate. That's why i've cut down on my activity here. Thank you. dposse 16:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Leaders of the union representing Hollywood's film and television scribes declared Thursday night that they would go on strike in what would be the first walkout by writers in nearly two decades.

The interview was aired live on November 3rd. This announcement by the Writers Guild came two days before that. So, Tim Kring knew for a fact that the Writers were on strike when he stated that Heroes: Origins was delayed. dposse 18:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Scroll box

Remember the question you posed to me on the talk page of 300 about the References section using a scroll box? There's precedent set outside the TfD that I showed you -- WP:CITE#Scrolling lists. Just thought I'd show you to refer back to down the road if you see the illegitimate scroll boxes around Misplaced Pages. —Erik (talkcontrib) - 20:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

The crteria for parody movie pages

Hi!

I just wanted to ask something:

whatis the criteria for parody movies on Misplaced Pages?

I KNOW that character/movie pages can't be edited to say "this character/movie was spoofed in..."

However, what about the pages abou the parody movie itself?

Can we point out which characters are being spoofed in the parody movie page?

For example, in the "Spaceballs"movie, can we put of which character Dark Helmet, President Skroob or Lone Star are spoofs of?

Or which specific scenes or characters are spoofed in "Epic Movie"?

Also, you say that spoofs are a matter of opinion. In that case, how can you decide what is or isn't a spoof? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agustinaldo (talkcontribs) 13:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

White House

Just wondered if your interested here - we could use your input. Thanks, Happyme22 15:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments Arcayne. And nice one about NSA haha! Happyme22 05:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Semi-protect on Peter Petrelli

Was there a reason you removed the {{semi-protect}} from the Peter Petrelli article? It is semi-protected, I asked and they granted. Finally, some peace. Padillah 20:16, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

DreamGuy

I think everyone who might have notfied him was banned from his talk page. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 21:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

MV

I think your statement of leaving the article as is is quite eroneous. I added pertinent and cited material. User: El Greco only retort to this addition was "there's got to be a better way to integrate into the article than that)". What kind of a statement is that? The onus is on him to come up with a better way of presenting the material not me for introducing it. If what I have added breaks any policy please let me know. If not then it should stand. Thank You 206.125.176.3 14:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Darth Maul image

We both know that the image is not a screen capture from the DVD. I would prefer that you fix the licensing of the image or overwrite an actual screen capture image from one of the DVDs, please. I wanted to give you an opportunity to fix it before having the image deleted, which I think would harm the article (and likely cause you some trouble for incorrectly licensing the image), I think a couple of days should be enough to get the job done, right? Let me know if you have any difficulties with this. - Arcayne () 10:12, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

It's not my original upload, I just downscaled it to comply with the fair use rules, but I fixed the license anyway (maybe). Not quite sure what that picture is, it looks like a comic book illustration, is it? Melesse 18:33, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Nightcrawler

I think your edit, as a whole, was poorly intended, and was made so as to be difficult to rollback. Accordingly, I did not go through with a fine-toothed comb. If you want to return some of the tags that were more sensible, though, go for it. I agree with you about the Legion bit, for example. Phil Sandifer 18:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Nightcrawler (comics)

Per your comment, I've copied your message to Talk:Nightcrawler (comics) and replied there. Happy editing. Steve block Talk 20:03, 9 November 2007 (UTC)


ANI notice

Hello Arcayne. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue that you may be involved with. You are free to comment at the discussion, but please remember to keep your comments within the bounds of the civility and "no personal attack" policies. Thank you.

RFCU

Your error: DreamGuy, not Dreamguy. Here are the previous cases. Relata refero 21:10, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Otherwise it seems OK; if it isn't, the clerk will help you clean it up. Make sure you let the checkusers know why it is important to know for sure, rather than merely go on the diffs/circumstantial evidence that has convinced Jehochman, not that I think they will turn down a request for an ArbCom-related RFCU.

Peter Petrelli edits

Excuse me sir if some of my comments, which were intended principally in jest, were "impolite," but you ought to apply such standards to yourself before calling others out. You seriously seem to be taking a far too authoritarian line with the articles you edit, trouncing and ridiculing the ideas of others, and maintaining that your interpretation of television episodes (of all things) is sacred and definitive. I will concede that a wikipedia article should not have over-the-top fan theories and the like--that is indeed not its purpose. But the discussion page of all things should be relatively free ground for discussion and debate of what we all glean from the episodes themselves, as well as other official media. Even when something appears on the show, it cannot always be fully explained, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be included in the article, so long as the editor points out the ambiguity. Perhaps those sorts of things are more appropriate for the articles on the episodes themselves. But please do not accuse others of being impolite or sniping other editors or whatever when you don't appear to hold yourself to that ideal standard. I'm not out to make any enemies. As you suggested, I am indeed new to editing articles and do it infrequently. However, when I looked at the Peter Petrelli discussion page, I saw what looked like two editors berating everyone else and trying to control everything. I felt like backing up the other side, and if my comments were a bit much--sorry, but I felt they were justified. Thank you, and good day. Scwatson 14:35, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Moving forward

I am copying this same message to both Arcayne and DreamGuy.

The time now is to move on. There is no proof that DreamGuy has committed any blockable offenses, so let's assume good faith and try to get a consensus going.

Regarding the accusations of sockpuppetry, since the RFCU was denied we will never know for sure. I propose we stay agnostic about whether it occurred, and never speak of it again (unless suspicions arise anew). DreamGuy, if you were falsely accused, I apologize. If you indeed were editing anonymously, consider this a mulligan: go forth and sin no more :)

Regarding Jack the Ripper, I would like to get an RfC going. The problem we have is that there are not enough editors to have a true consensus. If Arcayne says, "I think X," and DreamGuy says, "I think Y," then we are at an impasse without a 3rd (or 4th or 5th) opinion.

Does this sound okay for now? --Jaysweet 17:27, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

The Whitechapel Murders

Dreamguy has deleted my separate article on the Whitechapel Murders with the full approval of a supine admin. So it seems we are not allowed to mention the Whitechapel Murders anywhere on the wikipedia - neither in the Ripper article or elsewhere - only the 'canonical five'. Is Dreamguy thus the 'owner' of all articles on Jack the Ripper on the wikipedia? Colin4C 19:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Arcayne for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.Template:Do not deleteRealsanpaku 05:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Socks.

It looks pretty good to me, though I'm no expert. The only thing that might be wrong (and I stress might), is that perhaps User:Sixstring1965 should be listed as the puppeteer and Realsanpaku be listed with the other puppets? But I'm really not sure about that. Should probably be fine as it is.

Oh, and what can I say? Gay guys think I'm awesome. haha faithless () 05:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

It occurs to me that that might not come across the right way; I'm not calling you guy, but rather the user who posted above you on my talk page, who literally is a homosexual. faithless () 05:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
