Removed prod from Dog and pony show

Hi there, just letting you know I removed the proposed deletion tag from the article. I completely agree that it contains original research, but the term is a very common one and I believe it can be sourced. I've watchlisted the page and I'll work on improving it to resolve the years-old tags. If you still feel it should be deleted, go ahead and bring it to AfD, thanks! -- Atama頭 22:24, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

NDU Thanks!

I see that you are a regular watcher and editor of South Bend - area articles (List of South Bend Residents, Jimmy Clausen, etc). Just wanted to say thanks for keeping South Bend noteworthy. Go Irish????? Morning277 (talk) 18:58, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. They're pretty easy to keep an eye on. Illinois grad, but have grown to like the Irish. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 19:20, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Trout

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Tate / Clausen

I see you came back to Golden Tate. After the announcement this morning, I almost had to use a sick day. Morning277 (talk) 21:13, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Leaves ND in a tough spot, but I think people had to see it coming. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 21:17, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

New Moon (2009 film) and Eclipse (2010 film)

Both these two articles were recently submitted for a name change. I did agree with this name change in February, however, now I am a strong opposing factor in why the name should ramian New Moon and Eclipse with the signifigant other name in the first line of the articles.

WP:NCCN and WP:PRECISION both state the title should be "terms most commonly used", "A good article title is brief and to the point", "Prefer titles that follow the same pattern as those of other similar articles", "An article can only have one name; however significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the article, usually in the first sentence or paragraph". "And despite earlier reports that the movie would be known as The Twilight Saga's New Moon, the title will remain New Moon according to the movie's rep. They just have Twilight Saga in the artwork to identify it for anyone less devoted than your average fanggirl."Source.

Also see WP:PRECISION. I quote from there: "Articles' titles usually merely indicate the name of the topic. When additional precision is necessary to distinguish an article from other uses of the topic name, over-precision should be avoided. Be precise but only as precise as is needed. For example, it would be inappropriate to name an article "United States Apollo program (1961–1975)" over Apollo program or "Nirvana (Aberdeen, Washington rock band)" over Nirvana (band). Remember that concise titles are generally preferred."

However, I personally do not think we have had enough input and would like input from people who might not like these movies, or just edit them to help wikipedia out. The pages are: Talk:New Moon (2009 film)#Requested move and Talk:Eclipse (2010 film)#Requested move. Any help/input would greatly be apriciated. I am not stressing weather you should oppose/support either of these.ChaosMaster16 (talk) 21:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)ChaosMaster16

Joke?

Was this edit a joke? Off2riorob (talk) 19:19, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

You better watch your dirty, whoreish mouth. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 20:49, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me, did you deliberately insert that ref and a death date for G Michael? Do you realize that it was not him at all? Off2riorob (talk) 21:17, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

George Michael just died, and you're douching up my talk page. Get some class, and do not respond here again. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 21:25, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

The George Michael that died was a sportscaster. He was 70 years old. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 23:22, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
