User talk:David Fuchs/Archive 24
re: UruThanks for the quick response. I will revisit as soon as I get a chance. On the issue of the Plot section - wasn't there a consensus some time ago that Plot sections for fictional media can use primary sources? In other words, can't you fill out the plot section based on the game itself and not on a secondary source? --Laser brain (talk) 16:28, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Best, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 12:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC) Hello, I was wondering if you could tell me what your concerns with File:SideshowBobsfirstappearance.png are, and whether or not they can be fixed. Also, a lot of the article has been copyedited since you commented (although admittedly not every section), but is it better now? -- Scorpion0422 00:47, 3 February 2009 (UTC) Star Trek: The Motion PictureNice job with the added details to the Star Trek: The Motion Picture page. I'm made some minor changes, clarifying one sentence about the transporter room and deleting a redundant section about the massaging bridge chairs (they're mentioned twice).THD3 (talk) 11:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC) Star Trek VI refThis might be useful: Magid, Ron.

If you have a chance, can you comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Metroid (series)/archive2? I've been checking out other articles, such as Halo (series), but it's hard to gauge what is missing or unnecessary in the Metroid article as these series articles all have different sections. I imagine they all have to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Gary King (talk) 20:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC) (leans)It's that time again... Ealdred (archbishop) could use your attention over the next few weeks. I think he's all assembled. There are still a few minor points I'm trying to chase down, but nothing major. I've made a few CE passes, but... well.. I just finished off the last of the red links. Anything context wise that's missing, I'm more than happy to add, I just need to know what's left out. If you wanna copyedit, go for it. Malleus is probably going to be playing too, so play nice together. Ealdgyth - Talk 21:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC) Hi, you probably don't know me but I am working on Premiere (The O.C.) for FAC. User Sgeureka has been copyediting the article for me recently, and gave you a glowing reference as a fiction editor. I was wondering, if you have any spare time could you possibly read through the prose for AmEng (because I'm a Brit) and possbily give me some tips. This would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 16:13, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
A few things. Firstly thanks for your email reply, although unfortunately I haven't found any local institutions with Nexis subscription. Secondly Premiere (The O.C.) is at FAC now, so thanks for your help getting it there. Thirdly, do you know what I'm meant to do about the people who helped work on it. There have been quite a few so should I let them all know or is that WP:Canvassing? Best wishes, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

(The) EnterpriseI figured I would let you know since it's been a while from the initial posting. I replied on your peer review of These Are The Voyages... asking if the ship is referred to as Enterprise or "the" Enterprise on the show. I'll read the article when I get home and may have further comments then. :) Natural Cut (talk) 00:25, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
System Shock 2 Peer ReviewI believe I have addressed your concerns. If you have time, Can you give it another look? Some parts have been largely rewritten and I would like to know if any new issues have cropped up, or hopefully that the article has improved. Thank you for your time, it is greatly appreciated. Here's a link. -- Noj r (talk) 06:49, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Help!I am in a quandary at this FLC. The article uses four non-free images with (currently) skimpy fair use rationales. I don't think that all are needed, but I do not want to oppose over it because I am a novice on images. Could you provide a third opinion please? Dabomb87 (talk) 14:05, 8 February 2009 (UTC) Centre for Research on GlobalizationI didn't have time to come back to it as promised until now, just when the AfD was closed. Picking out appropriate stuff on such organizations can be very time consuming. There are a number of gbooks hits talking about this centre: e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4] ( "a key website"}, and these news story Scholarly organization suggests debate in Canada’s Parliament over Afghanistan is being faked for media spotlight, [5] has 2 hosted Canadian newspaper articles on it: U of O professor accused of hosting anti-Semitic website Group files complaint over 'wild theories' that blame Jews for 9/ and Controversial site 'not an issue' for university Not U of O's job to find out if professor's website is anti- Semitic: expert. Also [6], [7], and [8] in Foreign Policy (preview "At an even more extreme end of the spectrum, the Web site of the Canadian-based Centre for Research on Globalization sells books and videos that "expose" .." ) So I guess I am asking for a relisting, in view of your careful closing summary. At least, it deserves to be a redirect to Michel Chossudovsky. Regards,John Z (talk) 00:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC) Wikipedia Signpost, February 8, 2009

I know it wasn't part of the original nomination, but I think that there was a clear consensus at the AFD to delete it as well. I could nominate it separately, but it seems like that shouldn't be necessary. --Megaboz (talk) 17:27, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Happy David Fuchs's Day!
I have addressed your image concerns adequately, I believe. If you could hop on over and take another look at the article and possibly reassess it, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! --TorsodogTalk 14:06, 13 February 2009 (UTC) deletion of Daniel MulhernI have undid what seems to me to be an entirely improper early closure of the AfD -- and clearly against the consensus of those expressing opinions on the page. older ≠ wiser 16:30, 14 February 2009 (UTC) Improper close of Space Ghost Episodes AfDPlease fix your close of the Space Ghost Coast to Coast Episodes AfD [9]. The proper close was "keep" and discuss merging on the talk pages. Anyone who reads the discussion will see that the concensus was clearly against merging at the AfD. AfD's are not the proper venue for deciding editing decisions such as whether to merge or not, a point which was made repeatedly in the discussion. The "vote" was roughly
and the arguments against merging at AfD were very strong. If you have your own personal opinion, you should have participated in the discussion and left the closing to an impartial admin. Please take another look, thanks. AfD hero (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
FACHi, as someone who previously commented on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/John Wilkes Booth, you may wish to revisit this page, as the FAC has been restarted and additional content to meet the concerns expressed has been added. JGHowes talk 23:42, 14 February 2009 (UTC) ConsensusThis close [10] seems to have ignored the arguments by those involved in the AfD in favor of your own research and conclusions. I find this troubling and against policy. You also seem to have ignored a substantial number of editors who suggested a merge. I don't see how anyone could reach a delete conclusion based on the arguments and conclusions of the numerous editors involved in the AfD. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:07, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Bone WarsYeah, it's easier to do a nice translation when you're translating a nice article. This was actually the 150.000th article on the Catalan wikipedia, and I chose it on purpose because I thought it was interesting, well-written and about a subject I liked. The only thing which I found missing was some info about Uintathere bones in the Bone Wars, but I guess it wasn't that important, what with the Stegosaurus and all... Well, have a nice day. Leptictidium (mt) 21:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC) PopulousHello, how come you keep deleting the "Characters" section in the Populous: The Beginning article? Most games have a description of characters, with some like Halo even having a page dedicated to the subject. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksevio (talk • contribs) 01:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC) To name or not to name, that is a conundrumI'm currently attempting a rewrite of LucasArts adventure games (no small task for an era of 15 titles and 14 years), and need a little help with the naming of one section. I don't know how much you know of these games—if its nothing, then stop wasting your time with Halo and Myst and go try a real work of art like Curse of Monkey Island. I'm a little stuck with a name for the second sub-section in the games section, which covers 1990 to 1993. The titles there, less the Indiana Jones one, are considered the classics of the LucasArts adventure games; its those ones, along with Grim Fandango and Curse of Monkey Island, that are usually found on lists of top games in the press a decade later and onwards. I just don't know what to call it. Something like "the classics" or "the golden era" doesn't seem to be particularly encyclopedic wording. I don't suppose you have any suggestions? -- Sabre (talk) 23:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Could you delete every single trace of him from wikipedia?I no longer want his name to be associated with anything with en.wikipedia.org. Wiki commons is fine, but others such as AfD debates, rescue squadron, requst page, or even his page that says that his page is deleted, I want completely gone. Including this post in your talk page. Angdl (talk) 00:07, 18 February 2009 (UTC) OKCourtesy blank everything about him, including his name in talk pages. I'll blank my talk page. My userpage isn't part of wikipedia, so it doesn't matter.

BJBot (talk) 05:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC) Angdl and his articleHi, just wanted to let you know. After the your closing deletion of the article he created, User:Angdl suddenly went on a blanking spree trying to have all history of the article's deletion removed from WP. (I can see he even asked you to try to delete all evidence of the discussions.) A look at his contributions [11] includes this edit summary - "I do not want his name to be existent in any wikipedia article, including AfD debates.". He's been going around to the talkpages, such as the rescue squadron, the wikiproject where he originally tried to canvass votes from, etc removing all text about the deletion discussion. *But* it's kinda hard to AGF, seeing as he's maintaining the entire, unaltered article on his userpage at User:Angdl. If he truly wants the name to be eradicated from every article, that theoretically should include his userpage. Now I've been thinking, (and AGF aside), he might want all deletion discussions wiped so that he could show the "article" (which, while in userspace is clear to us WPedians as not really an article but not to those not acquainted with how WP works) to his friends, to show off that he "has a wikiepdia article" on himself/his friend/whoever. I am not sure how to proceed with this since this is the first time I've seen something like this on WP. Shrumster (talk) 10:31, 19 February 2009 (UTC) DC Meetup Events: You're invited!
Luke Smith GAN?Hey, I'm Hunter. I saw on the GAN site you had nominated Luke Smith (writer) for a GA. I conducted a review in Notepad and was about to copy and paste it into the review page on the Talk page...but then found there's nothing in there about the GA nomination. I'm guessing maybe you just forgot to add the nomination to the talk page (it's #2 under "How to nominate an article at WP:GAN"), but I don't want to do it myself because I don't want to give the impression that I'm nominating the article, because that would disqualify me from reviewing it. So could you just place that in the Talk page and let me know when it's done? Then I'll copy and paste my review into it and we can get this thing up to GA status. Thanks! --Hunter Kahn (talk) 05:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Undoing changesHey, what's with undoing all of my recent changes to Halo 3 article? Did you even look at what I changed, and more importantly, do you have a in-depth knowledge of Halo 3? If you do, then you would surely realize the legitimacy of my edits. I'd like to know exactly why EVERYTHING I changed was reverted, as your edit summeries where unclear or didn't mention any reasons at all. The TRUE Adoring Fan (talk) 08:57, 22 February 2009 (UTC) You say that you've already checked Lexis Nexis over for sources for that?

Halo WarsYou reverted my edit in Halo Wars. I changed this sentence: Ground vehicles are powerful against infantry, infantry is stronger against aircraft, and aircraft are exceptional at destroying vehicles. I changed it, because it is completely false. Take the UNSC infantry units for example. One is your basic unit, same damage to everything, one is stronger against other infantry, and one is a sort of super unit good against everything, but it has a special ability that makes it really strong against certain aircraft AND ground vehicles. The UNSC ground units are similiar... one is good against infantry, one is good against aircraft, and one is good against other ground vehicles. I am going to edit the article again. If you have a better way to word what I am trying to explain, then feel free, but please do not revert it back to the false information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Poh Tay Toez (talk • contribs) 14:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC) Halo trilogyOK, I merged them.
