And according to this, which I only just found, it is the second largest. But, what the Hell is that even based on? I am so confused!!! http://www-acad.sheridanc.on.ca/BUSM25315/bruzzeda/indexj.htm

Huh?
Are you really claiming that this is your edit? Corvus cornixtalk 05:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I knew that wasn't you. I'll retract my comments. Corvus cornixtalk 05:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
One of my edit summaries earlier tonight was "wtf?" :) Corvus cornixtalk 05:27, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Admin
Hi. I just wondered if you've considered becoming an admin. You seem experienced enough, so I'd be happy to nominate you if you're interested. Regards. Epbr123 (talk) 18:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Epbr123 would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Epbr123 to accept or decline the nomination. A page will be or has been created for your nomination at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/HalfShadow . If you accept the nomination, you must formally state and sign your acceptance and answer the questions on that page. Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.Let me know when you've answered the questions on your RfA page and I'll get the nomination started. Try to make your answers as thorough as possible. You can see how others have answered them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship. Good luck. Epbr123 (talk) 21:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

You sure about this? They look like good faith edits to me. Jfire (talk) 04:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Crap...

Prods
Hi there - Misplaced Pages:PROD#Conflicts says that once a prod notice has been removed, even in bad faith, it shouldn't be readded: instead, the article should be taken to AfD. Once an AfD notice is on the article, it must stay there and repeatedly removing an AfD notice can lead to a block (as I noted when declining to block the user in question earlier). I suggest you change your prod to an AFD. Regards, Bencherlite 10:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Err, there isn't. {{uw-afd1}} etc are warning notices for removing {{Afd}} notices from articles, not prods. I'm surprised you didn't know / didn't spot the difference. Bencherlite 10:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Your RfA
This is just to say that I hope that you bounce back from this and come back as an even stronger candidate next time round. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you at work around the 'pedia and please do let me know if I can be of any assistance, or if you see me making mistakes. With very best wishes, Bencherlite 20:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Trolls
Hey, that IP left this poop on my user page. Apparently I'm not the only one the troll is mad at. Well, just goes to show you that "small minds stink" - like? Sorry about your RFA - I saw another witch hunt just last week - it's becoming more and more common. - BillCJ (talk) 02:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Attack of the Clones (good thread title btw)
Incidentally, and while the Epic film article is virtually unreferenced, the single reference it contains —besides the "war epic" one to AMG.com— is an essay by Roger Ebert, where he says about the issue, as quoted in the article:
| “ | The word epic in recent years has become synonymous with big budget B picture. What you realize watching Lawrence of Arabia is that the word epic refers not to the cost or the elaborate production, but to the size of the ideas and vision. Werner Herzog's Aguirre, the Wrath of God didn't cost as much as the catering in Pearl Harbor, but it is an epic, and Pearl Harbor is not. | ” |
So, do you think it is a viable approach to determine a film's inclusion in the category of epic films (i) on your own, (ii) on the basis of unverified criteria stated in another Misplaced Pages article? User:Dorftrottel 05:34, January 19, 2008
- No, I rather agree with Ebert. Big budget B picture is spot on. The Star Wars franchise has been marketed as epic, but that's simply an advertisement exploitation of the term. User:Dorftrottel 05:39, January 19, 2008
- Thanks, and sorry if I came across as a little defensive. You see, I've tried educating Star Wars fans about this before. User:Dorftrottel 05:45, January 19, 2008
