Draco Malfoy

Hi, You reverted my edits in the Draco Malfoy article on the grounds that "it isn't 2008 yet". I'm sorry but I do not quite see the connection. What has next year got to do with anything ?--Marktreut 16:07, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

The edit summary was in reference to the speculative edit which was made just before your edit, which was also reverted. faithless (^speak) 19:50, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Locations

Are you sure those HP books detail the locations of Durmstrang and Beauxbatons? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 17:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Are you talking about the Places in Harry Potter article? faithless (^speak) 19:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, you reverted my reversion of vandalism. The page is protected now so I can't correct the mistake. Can you fix it please? Thank you. 74.133.9.95 04:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that was my mistake. It's taken care of now, though. :) faithless (^speak) 05:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

So I see. Thank you! :D 74.133.9.95 05:05, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 4 December, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Operation Instant Thunder, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Luna Lovegood

I also reverted the IP 'pudding' edits to Luna Lovegood. I Googled it and saw there was a JK Rowling connection, so after some thought I am willing to WP:AGF. If you know this topic better, feel free to edit the pudding out, but otherwise, I will not intervene. SaltyBoatr (talk) 22:02, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I have no doubt that it was a good faith edit. The reason I removed it was that it was poorly written as well as just unnecessary cruft. faithless (^speak) 22:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

why

did you revert that edit I made? its a very helpful edit indeed. Blueanode (talk) 21:04, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

There were two reasons: Most importantly, it was unnecessary and inaccurate. Yes, the Simpsons is an American show, but saying that in the lead ignores that fact that it is also broadcast in a many other countries; that is, it isn't "just" an American show anymore. Less importantly, it was poorly written. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 21:11, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Then what can I do to make good edits? is there anything left to work on here? Blueanode (talk) 21:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Hogwarts students article draft

Hi Faithless, I did a draft of the article in here: Draft. The weight of the draft is about 79 KB, and I listed almost every character from the Minor G/H/R/S articles, except those who are Quidditch players with little appearances and those from the "Others" sections. The draft is still really large though. I would appreciate your opinion. Lord Opeth (talk) 03:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Opeth, I responded on the talk page of the draft. faithless (^speak) 04:26, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your vote on my RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a vote of 41/0/1.

Please accept a slice of panettone as an expression of my gratitude. Feel free to help yourself to some chocolate zabaglione as well.

I am humbled by the trust placed in me to use the tools wisely.

AfD nomination of Croc 3

An article that you have been involved in editing, Croc 3, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Croc 3. Thank you. Ra2007 (talk) 17:54, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which was successful with a vote of 33/7/4.

Special thanks go to Epbr123 for nominating me and Pedro for the offer of help.

I am honoured by the trust placed in me by the community. I hope to repay this by the wise use of the tools, which I intend to use gradually. Mop & bucket is on the Christmas list - honest. Keith D (talk) 00:32, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

"Others" section

I agree, that's a good idea. But I don't know the name of every Quidditch player, I would only add those that were left out (like Davies or Montague) and also those from the already-existing "Others" sections in the 4 houses' articles. Lord Opeth (talk) 00:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Richard Encyclopedia

I speedily deleted this as patent nonsense -- no AFD necessary. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 05:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! :) faithless (^speak) 05:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

"Music For Love"

Well, then how come there are HUNDREDS of pages that are made for future singles that have not yet been released?--FSX-2007 (talk) 07:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Are there? Could you provide examples? Regardless, please review WP:BAND#Albums and songs, specifically

Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; permanent stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.

"Music For Love" doesn't seem to meet these criteria. faithless (^speak) 07:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Well, Mario's Kryptonite is an example. David Banner's Get Like Me is another. Keri Hilson's Henny and Apple Juice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FSX-2007 (talk • contribs) 07:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

That's not quite "hundreds." Those probably should be redirected to that album or artist, though two of those three are at least sourced, unlike Music For Love.It isn't just this song, it's like the guideline above says: "Most songs do not merit an article...A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." If you disagree with the proposed deletion, you should make your case at the discussion rather than here. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 07:58, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

The Two Jacks last warning

I don't see how it can be a final warnning when I have done what you want to do by deleting the article!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tangerinetom (talk • contribs) 08:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

You didn't delete the article; only an administrator can do that.You removed a speedy delete tag, which I specifically warned you not to do, as it can lead to a block. I know I'm coming off like an ass, and I apologize, but you didn't seem interested in taking me up on my offer of helping you, and instead you carried on recreating deleted material and removing sd tags. There wasn't much more I could do. My offer still stands - if you want a hand in navigating Wikipedia until you know your way around, I'd be glad to help you out.And if you're still convinced that the article you created is legitimate, let's talk about it. I'll help you out with writing it if I can, but the first thing we have to do is decide if The Two Jacks are notable or not. The article didn't make any assertion of notability, which is why I repeatedly nominated it. Do you have any published accounts in reliable sources which discuss the group? I hope you aren't taking this personally; your contributions are appreciated. We just have to make sure you're working within the framework of the community. Again, I offer any assistance I can give you. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 08:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Tokyo Yankees

Hi! I saw your revert on Tokyo Yankees. I was patrolling the recent page and checked the change of the article. I checked if it was a fact by googling and it turned out to be true. I restored the edit and copyedited. Hope you don't mind. Regards. Oda Mari (talk) 10:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, okay, no problem. I did a quick G search and didn't find anything, and went to the website linked on the article and didn't see anything mentioned. But thanks for letting me know! faithless (^speak) 10:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you could read Japanese, but This is the search result and this is one of them, a current death list page. Oda Mari (talk) 10:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Nope, I sure can't. I guess it wasn't too surprising that there weren't any relevant English-language results, huh? :) faithless (^speak) 10:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe because they are not that famous. To tell the truth, it was the first time I saw their name. Oda Mari (talk) 10:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

P.S. TOKYOYANKEES vocalist 梅村総一郎は2007.12.11 早朝に逝去しました。慎んでご報告します。お陰をもちまして葬儀ならびに告別式は、とどこおりなく執り行うことができました。ご参列いただいたファンの皆様、及び関係者のみなさまにはご遺族ならびにご親族に代わってあつく御礼申し上げます。You can see these on the top of the first page of their official site. It's the notice and thanks for those who attended the funeral. Oda Mari (talk) 10:37, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Do you want to be an administrator?

I noticed you on RC patrol today, and I've seen you before. Based on a review of your contribution history, I think you would have no difficulty passing a request for adminship if you wish to be an administrator. If you would like me to write a recommendation for you, now or in the future, I am willing to do it. (I have nominated several current administrators.) If you'd prefer to stay as a normal user, that's okay too; you're in good company. :) Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow, thank you! I'm honored that my contributions are so well regarded, especially coming from such a solid editor. I've never really given it much thought, though my gut reaction is sure, why not? I'll mull it over and get back to you; I'm going in for surgery later this month, so if we do go ahead with it, it would probably be best to wait until sometime next month. Again, thank you; I'm humbled by your offer, and will be sure to get back to you as soon as I reach a decision, likely in the next few days. Cheers! faithless (^speak) 05:05, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Good luck with your surgery. :) Shalom (Hello • Peace) 14:51, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Faithlessthewonderboy. From now on, I'm basically out of this process, but I'll try to remember to vote when it actually goes live. :) Shalom (Hello • Peace) 06:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry.

I always make a mistake on somethings, I generally just add an edit summary, which if you check, normally with me have little do do with what I actually do. My main reasoning is some edit wars, and alot of POV inclusion. But I will have a look through your contributions and will probably reconsider. On the other hand you seem a good editor.

Support!

Hello Faithless. I supported your RfA. I have seen your contributions in the past. I think you have done a great job as an editor. I hope your RfA will be successful! Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 12:54, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Masterpiece2000! I truly appreciate all of the support I've been shown, and just hope that it keeps up! faithless (^speak) 04:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Heads up

Hey, haven't looked at it yet, but look out, this might be a BLP thing, what with the edit summary. I'll take a second to read over it and get back to you. Peace, delldot talk 11:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Huh, well there's nothing negative in it. It all just looks factual. Must be a typical vandal. Maybe I'll see if I can get them to discuss it. Too bad the whole thing's unreferenced, huh? Peace, delldot talk 11:12, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

You caught me right in the middle of the reply, now I have to start over. :) Yeah, the article looks pretty well established, and there's nothing defamatory written. I suppose the IP could possibly be the subject of the article, but if she is she hasn't bothered explaining what these supposed "lies" are. I'll see if I can't track down a few sources. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 11:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Nice, thanks. I didn't bother to leave them that note after all, since they were already blocked. Maybe if they come back we can try to figure out what they're on about. Peace, delldot talk 11:23, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Vandalism to my user page is still novel enough to me that I wanted to give you thanks and a tip 'o the old vandal-thwacking stick. Cheers, Pigman☿ 05:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Minor edits

Hi. I was looking at your contributions to consider !voting at your RFA when I noticed that all of your WP:TWINKLE vandalism reverts are showing up as major edits. Vandalism reverts really should be marked as minor so that they don't get in the way of people doing RC patrol. In your monobook.js, there is a line markRevertedPagesAsMinor : [], that is causing all of them to be marked as major edits. You can fix the problem by changing it to markRevertedPagesAsMinor : [ 'agf', 'norm', 'vand', 'torev' ],. Or if you want to only mark vandalism reverts as minor, but leave everything else you revert with twinkle major, you can use markRevertedPagesAsMinor : [ 'vand' ],. --B (talk) 05:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't know all that. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll make the change. Cheers, faithless (^speak) 06:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Change made. :) faithless (^speak) 06:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Characters' pages

Hi there! I think that we cannot do anymore merges for HP characters. We have 13 individual pages and 9 group pages. That gives us a total of 22 pages for all (I think there are almost 150) characters. I still have my doubts about the House-elves and the Ghosts but the Magical Creatures article is already large, and it will become one of those crufty monsters if we merge the information from elves and ghosts into it. I think that 22 pages for characters is reasonable. I made a suggestion in the WikiProject to do no more merges there and keep these 22 pages. I would be interested in reading your opinion. Greetings! Lord Opeth (talk) 18:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I Apologize

I apologize that the things I might have done that is negative, but I only want to help. I don't want to vandalize anything, I just want to expand more information and discover more to add here. All the submits I send that are future films, I try to find all the details, I added the sources as instructed. The weblinks I put down and I thought that you might look them up to find more information, edit the boxes and possibly create new articles. I don't lie, I only want to help add information and I apologize for the bad things I typed on. I love Wikipedia, I am sincerly and I still hope I can still help.

Sincerly, TD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.198.69 (talk) 18:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you, I'll do my best to follow the rules. I have a question to ask. When I submit an article about an upcoming movie, I do my best to make it look like other articles and I know that I am not the best type writer. The sources that put in, the website addresses like www.imbd.com. Will you be able to look up on the websites or type in the title at Google to find more information and edit or change the articles I submit to create an article. The best websites to look up for upcoming are www.hollywood.com, www.imbd.com and www.allmovie.com Could this be possible, so let me know and thank you.
