RE: Ashley Cheadle

Heh, I was only doing my job. As for the tag - an error on my part, I must have forgotten - it's gone now. Thanks for contributing, hopefully that article will continue to improve! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 07:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Israeli apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea why, but Twinkle always makes the afd template show up red linked. Purging the cache fixes it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 18:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Notability discussions

The baseball notability guidelines are under discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Baseball, you may be interested in participating. Spanneraol (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Tipping Point

I was hoping you could reassess the changes to the article, to see whether the balance is more appropriate.

Thanks,

Your awfully knee jerk desire to delete the "Batman's career timeline" article challenged

Batman is one of the most iconic, recognizable characters in all of comics. He has been around since 1939 and has had numerous adaptions made about him (via animation, live-action television and film, and video games). It would do the character more good (in terms of serving as a relatively important history lesson) than you could imagine to showcase a "career timeline" through all of the important eras/ages in the comics. Besides, if you're going to delete this article about Batman's career timeline and more importantly, his evolution as a superhero/crime fighter, then you might as well do the same about the article entitled "History of Superman".

Editor posted the exact same paragraph in the AfD for public discussion, so I won't respond in Talk. Townlake (talk) 04:49, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI, my own response to this is here. Frank | talk 15:04, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on my RfA about the layout on my userpage

Hi there, I had replied to your comment on my RfA but now I reordered them on my userpage, using a scrolling div-container. I have only IE6 on my PC (which comes with XP) but if you have other browsers (like IE7), could you take a look and see if you spot any problems with that new layout? I'd value your input in that matter. Regards So Why 17:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for responding to my RfA comment so quickly. I'm currently on my IE7 comp, saw no issues with the new userbox-box layout; will try from my IE6 comp tonight and make sure it works there too. (I felt a little silly dinging you for that, but appearances do matter... if I switch, which I may well do now, it'll likely be to support. I'm glad the discussion seems to be going well for you, and I applaud your eagerness to address the concerns people have raised.) Townlake (talk) 21:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I have no IE installed but I got the IE tab extension for Firefox and tried it with it, so I'd be grateful if you could test it from a native IE window.

Do not feel silly, I understand your point. I actually thought it was quite good designed, because it was sound CSS and XHTML, nothing fancy, but I never considered trying with IE6 and low resolution, so I didn't notice that. I discovered the layout I use now on someone else's userpage and I think it's quite good because it also saves space without having to remove any content.

As for the eagerness to address concerns, well, that's what life is all about. If you realize that you made a mistake, you should admit it and try to change it. I have not changed my stance with the userbox that everyone discusses for example but I admit that it might sound a bit more than I originally thought it did and so I changed it. It's a fine line though between addressing concerns or admitting mistakes and catering to people, trying to influence their decisions. Some people will assume the latter when you intent to do the former, but that should not stop you from doing the former. I hope you don't think that I try that here. You had a good point and I admit that. I cannot stress it enough that I am completely fine with whatever !vote you choose to place. Have a nice evening! So Why 23:16, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Just quickly following up, I looked at your user page in native IE6 and it looks much better now! No remaining issues I can see. All the best. Townlake (talk) 01:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again for your help, have a nice day! :-) So Why 10:49, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Foxy Loxy's RfA

Hello, this message is to inform you that User:Foxy Loxy has restarted their RfA. The new discussion is located at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Foxy Loxy 2. GlassCobra 09:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Your neutral !vote in my RfA...

While not trying to sway you, I would like to tell you that I had no intention of making my answer say "becuase I can" between the lines. I refactored my comment in the "Discussion" section to better reflect what I mean; I'd appreciate it if you could take a look, even if you don't change your !vote at all. Thanks for your time, —Ed 17 07:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. Yours is far from the worst over-personalized page I've seen (roux's page has elements that actively render my WP navigation unusable, for example), but candidly it was hard to navigate your Talk when I was poking around, largely because of your formatting choices. I respect the "let's have fun with this" attitude; I think you and I simply disagree on what function the talk page serves. Reasonable people, of course, can disagree with me, and far be it from me to dictate how you format your account's Talk page - mine is one opinion in a sea of zillions. All the best. Townlake (talk) 17:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

...oh. It just dawned on me what you meant by the first part of your answer. :) I will try to work on this; I didn't know that my formatting was even a problem to anyone. Thanks and cheers, —Ed 17 17:28, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's not an oppose-worthy problem or a "gotcha!" type issue... I intentionally don't use the WP default skin because I know the one I use (Modern) will highlight formatting issues that other RfA regulars probably won't be able to see but general users might. I do appreciate and admire your interest in addressing my concern - cheers indeed. Townlake (talk) 17:35, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, and there is my problem right now...what is wrong with my formatting? :) I.e. what needs to be changed? I can't tell with Monobook... =/ —Ed 17 00:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

"Needs to be changed", of course, is subjective. That said... when I go into your Talk archives, the navigation is counter-intuitive - in recent months you've taken to sub dividing your archives with navigation in a tiny orange box in the lower right corner of the screen in tiny type. Why? Your older archives don't have this and they're easier to explore. In general, the top of your Talk page has too many layers of stuff to sift through, and because you've chosen dark shades for the primary navigation, using it isn't especially easy til you're used to it. (Modern skin's top bars are black and dark blue with bright white text, so your stylistic choice there stands out.) The black-on-grey text in the actual discussion area is peculiar as well; no problem when my laptop's at my desk, but if it's not plugged in and the monitor's in energy saver mode, reading can become frustrating. It's basically stuff like that; again nothing oppose-worthy, just stuff that makes other users' ability to use the talk page secondary to your own design satisfaction. (And I don't say that to be a jerk, nor do I expect you to make immediate changes; I do assume you'd want me to be direct in sharing my perspective.) Townlake (talk) 17:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, that makes sense now. I really had no intention of designing it to make it a lot harder to read...:) Thanks for your comments; I will attempt to work on them as soon as I can. (Especially the archives; when looking at it yesterday after your comments, that kinda dawned on me!) —Ed 17 22:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

thanks a lot

WikiThanks

Townhouse, Thanks a million for taking a couple of minutes to comment on the request for comment at Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Final_adoption_as_a_guideline. BTW, there was a direct question about your comments. Ikip (talk) 02:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for this - the questions re my comments were already thoroughly addressed elsewhere on the Talk page, so in the interest of bandwidth I won't be adding to those conversations. Townlake (talk) 15:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I always like to have a heads up myself, thank you for the response. Ikip (talk) 15:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Why did you deleted so many info on Sin Seno no hay paraiso

I've worked on it since the novel begin and many people enter to know ratings and everything detailed imdb has not nothing about it. So don't delete this things I almost fainted when I saw it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siachoquero (talk • contribs)

Thank you for your note! We both want the same thing - for the article to be as good as possible. I have asked for comments here from the Misplaced Pages Television project; I am worried the article is too long right now, but we will see what other people think, and if I am going overboard I am sure they will tell me. Townlake (talk) 15:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Since when prioviding so much information is not apropriate and must be deleted cause it's too long ho hell I won't edit snaything not bring information bye won't edit anything and could it be possible to delete my account? I'm not going to bring any single info about telemundo novelas bye —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siachoquero (talk • contribs)

bring back sin senos no hay paraiso as it was

please bring back as it was until you make changes.

the parts of Crew, Cast, Original broadcast titels and ratings this parts bring back

or then just delete all my edits there and my account too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siachoquero (talk • contribs)

I know you would prefer that this article contain all the details you find interesting, but there are very good reasons for keeping articles short and focused. Misplaced Pages is intended to be a source of information, but not one that includes every possible detail on every subject. I would suggest that you read through these pages - WP:NOT and WP:MOSTV - and I hope you will decide you want to continue cooperating with other Misplaced Pages editors to make articles as good as we can make them together. Townlake (talk) 23:58, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

nO i LIKED MY ARTICLE AS IT WAS PLEAASE

IF IT IS POSSIBLE DELETE ALL MY EDITS EVERYWHERE AND THEN MY ACCOUNT TOO —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siachoquero (talk • contribs)

I had the same idea

I temporarily voted a neutral in that RFA. Question 6 does sound like block evasion to me as I mentioned in the RFA. Ipromise (talk) 07:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
