Misplaced Pages

I have a vision

I wanted to show you something, as long ago, we talked about FF wikiproject being all GA...well I came up with an all-featured topic project :) http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Judgesurreal777/Topic_Building#Final_Fantasy_topics It's built on three ideas;

• Cutting a few articles from our jurisdiction that aren't intimately Final Fantasy related
• Merging a bunch of articles that have no notability
• Creating a subproject at wikiproject video games to deal with the people who create video games, as they get no love from most video game wikiprojects
• Build up the remaining articles to GA status, and have everyone look at us in awe. Thoughts? My biggest issue will be to sell it to the others who remain at the project. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

User Ageslimit needs to be banned (again)

Hey. It seems that in the May of last year, you blocked this guy Ageslimit for a well-rounded dose of vandalism. Well he's back now, and spent Apr 19th spamming a good deal. And what's worse is that he's been using the edit comment box for advertising, which I don't think can be changed by normal users. Pls ban this guy, he sickens me and more than certainly deserves it. Thnx... Abhishekbh (talk) 07:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Reliable Source

Hello Deckiller. I've tracked you down because I need help. I know zero about Misplaced Pages's policies regarding reliable sources and have no desire spending hours shifting through pages of policies mumbo-jumbo to solve my problem. Basically, I'm wondering if the site "thelostworlds.net" would be a reliable citation for this page: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. I have no idea if it is or not and I just decided to bring it to an Admin. The Clawed One (talk) 18:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey

With all due respect Deck, I'm not a mind reader, and I didn't know it was your article, or that you wanted it redirected. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 03:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit request

Hello, I am contacting you because you're a member of the League of Copyeditors. Would you be interested in taking a look at Highlander: The Series (season 1) which is currently a Featured List Candidate ? The quality of the prose is the only remaining objection to its promotion and I would really appreciate your help. Have a nice day, Rosenknospe (talk) 12:59, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks; I'll have a look at it. Not an easy one to solve. TONY (talk) 02:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

List of characters in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Could you please semi-protect this page? We have a whole mess of IP's (probably just one sock-puppeting, actually, since they all say the same thing and act like they were the same person) who continue to insert unverified info, and remove sourced info.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 19:21, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I kept trying to explain to the anon that all we needed was a link, and I'm afraid I got too aggressive near the end.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 04:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Deckiller/music <Idle chatter>-2008-05-26T04:33:00.000Z">

Hi,

<Idle chatter>. I accidentally found User:Deckiller/music and was very happy to see Neil Peart and Bill Bruford on the drummers list. I'd also agree with Geddy Lee as a bassist, but Alex Lifeson is not a standout as are his bandmates... I'd argue with your over-rated bands, adding Journey (who held the record for decades) but the #1 all-time most over-rated, (recently surpassing Journey) would be Nirvana. I'd remove Led Zeppelin, since of course they are easily the best band ever. :-) As for under-rated bands, you forgot Queen. The Police are not under-rated; they were extremely big in their day and, I suspect, still garner respect... Friends of mine have mentioned Djam Karet in this context, but I have never heard their stuff.</Idle chatter> Ling.Nut (talk) 04:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC)"> ">

Well yes, please do return. Many hands makes for light work! TONY (talk) 05:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

FL criteria

Good edits indeed ... except for the bottom two, IMO.

Do you like the criteria, as an improvement on the old version? TONY (talk) 06:45, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

FTC changes

Hi Tyler—Just surveying monthly diffs for the update, and noticed massive movement at . I wonder whether you could bullet for me the main substantive changes in the criteria. Also, I can't find the page to view the history of the instructions. TONY (talk) 13:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Two copy edit requests

Treehouse of Horror V and Metal gear solid. I'm trying to get them both to FA status but at the moment the wrting is hold them back. Thanks for any help. Buc (talk) 06:19, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

you

I hope you're not still burning the study/work candle at both ends! It sounded frenetic. TONY (talk) 17:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Reporting for duty

I am cautiously optimistic; the notability debate seems to have isolated those who want to include things that do not have at least moderate amounts of real world information, I see movements within several wikiprojects, from the video game one to the 24 project to trim back plot summary articles and add real world information. And though their continue to be areas that we haven't reached yet (Warhammer 40,000 as an example), and we obviously have an ever growing number of articles, the quality keeps getting better. And I agree with you that the Final Fantasy Wikiproject is a model for the successful implementation of a high bar for notability and an example of how amazing fictional coverage can be. Those are my current thoughts. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 17:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey there. Another user has noted some concerns with the prose in this FAC I submitted and he recommended I ask that you point me towards someone who can give the article a good copy-edit. Know anyone? I'd appreciate it! —Zeagler (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

word power

Good man. You have an uncanny ability to pick up wasted words—ones that I don't see, anyway. Before we know it, you'll be teaching business writing. Now I'm off to deal with flack at MOS talk about my new tutorial on hyphens and dashes. I can see trouble from Anderson at a distance (he just doesn't believe in insisting on proper dash usage).

Happy birthday

Just noticed that you changed your page from "19" to "20," so happy birthday. hbdragon88 (talk) 03:27, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Huh. You changed it back in May and I just noticed now...I thought you had changed it more recently. Cheers to 20 though, I'll be turning 20 in about four weeks. hbdragon88 (talk) 04:55, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Copyedit

Hi, at Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Midtown Madness Tony suggested I get in touch with the VG prose guru to give Midtown Madness a final touch up. If you have the time, could you please take a look at it? Thanks heaps in advance. —Giggy 03:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks much. Made some changes based on your hidden comments, thanks a lot! —Giggy 23:54, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I left a note at the bottom of Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates/Hurricane Vince (2005); considering ungrammatical recent changes, concerned that you should check prose changes made since you were through days ago. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 14:56, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Checking the history, I see you were last through on the 7th; there have been a lot of changes since then, and since it's a short article, I hope you'll have time to do some cleanup. I got lost in some sentences with multiple clauses. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
