SCA HeraldryI am a herald in the Society and so have firsthand knowledge of the rules etc. of SCA heraldry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cforzetting (talk • contribs) 15:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Doniago: The "Wild Kingdom" thing is a bit like recognizing the NBC peacock logo in the Futurama Anthology of Interest II episode: the show is using recognizable iconogaphy for the joke. "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" had a very distinctive logo, which the "Mutual of Omicron's Wild Universe" logo duplicates. That said, I found two cites: one is the IMDB entry for "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom," which lists "Naturama" under "Connections": "Futurama: Naturama (2012) (TV Episode) 'Mutual of Omicron's Wild Universe'"; IMDB's listing for "Naturama" runs the link in the opposite direction. And at theinfosphere.com, the Futurama wiki, the same allusion gets noted. Zoidbergmd (talk) 01:14, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Changes to No Man Has Gone BeforeHi, you just reverted my change to the page [Where no man has gone before]. I remembered the line being used on the movie Cruel Intentions, then I looked it up to double check it with IMDB, what do you think would be a good way to source it if IMDB is not ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Homerotl (talk • contribs) 16:41, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Changes to (Don't fear) The ReaperSorry friend, I don't subscribe to the 'significance theory' of 'pop culture'; I deal with fact only. Just listed the media sources where the song was used. 'More Cowbell;' has its own page, and I placed a link to the entire segment. A description of the SNL skit is unwarranted on the page itself; the skit is subservient to the song, not the other way around. Please respect the song, and the edits. thanks.
I've reviewed theWP:IPC and adjusted my edits accordingly. Thanks. Leon AskinHi Don, regarding my recent addition to Leon Askin, the topic of his parents death and experience as a holocaust survivor, the information source is the Wikipedia page for the show Hogan's Heroes. under the sub-heading - Jewish Actors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogan%27s_Heroes#Jewish_actors I don't really have time to learn the ins and outs of Wiki editing, but would hope you allow my changes to be posted under Mr. Askins' page thx Joe — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.45.76 (talk) 16:13, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
OK, how about this http://www.findadeath.com/forum/showthread.php?1557-Leon-Askin-Gen-Burkhalter-Hogans-s-Heroes scroll down to 4. or this http://www.tommcmahon.net/2004/02/the_incredible_.html Again, I'm not wiki savvy enough to site reference, and forgive me I don't have time to learn, so maybe you can help me and the wiki community by making it proper. I did the research at least :) thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.45.76 (talk) 17:01, 1 June 2013 (UTC) videos as referencehello, seems like Wikipedia:Videos as references implies using imdb as a source. maybe that page should be updated seeing as how imdb is not a valid source anymore. probably only half a million articles in wikipedia using imdb as a ref anyhow.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotWe are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page. IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation. Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. Changes to SuggestBot's suggestionsWe have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping! If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page.

Repeated Personal Attacks and Misrepresentations by User:AmericanDad86
User:AmericanDad86 has made repeated personal attacks against me and blatantly misrepresented situations at Talk:American Dad!. They were previously blocked for this sort of behavior, but when I filed a request for admin involvement at WP:ANI I was essentially disregarded and the matter was, in my opinion inaccurately, portrayed as a content dispute. It is not a content dispute; my issue is with how they are addressing me. I would be happy to launch an RFC/U if that is the appropriate step, but as noted I've had trouble getting other editors to be involved in this. Please help. Doniago (talk) 04:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Additionally, adding extra information shouldn't be deleted when it is helpful to demostrating the parallel between the two stories, as my edit was. It's not original research, it's additional information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.129.99.5 (talk) 17:27, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Plot SummaryIn regards to the plot summary section of Pirates 3, I can see that my summary was probably too lengthy for the article, however, part of what I was trying to convey with my revsions are the motives of the characters and how the turns of the narrative influence those. The second two Pirates films, particularly the third, are sometimes hard to follow because of the way the characters cross and double cross each other to achieve their own agendas. The Manual of Style for film articles allows longer summaries for films with unconventional structures or complicated plots, I would argue that Pirates 3 qualifies for the latter. Even the How to write a plot summary page says that a primary function of summaries is to help explain the story as it's often a resource for people who may not have understood it. In it's currenty state, I feel the plot summary from P3 does more to confuse character motivations than it does to help, and that was why I altered it. SolarSurfer (talk) 22:22, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
