Happy New Year, Gran2! Given your vast contributions to film pages, and recommendations by other editors to contact you, I thought I could solicit your assistance. I've submitted two articles for peer review, and thought that you might like to critique them:
If you have the time, it'd be great if you could look over those two articles and assess their strengths and weaknesses. Thanks, and, once again, a Happy New Year to you! — Cinemaniac (talk • contribs) 22:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC) More awardsI discovered another award that the Simpsons Movie was nominated for and lost, from the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards. Check the awards page for a source if you want to add itto the Movie page. -- Scorpion0422 22:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
it's pretty funny to see the great lengths the user went to to make it not look like a copy and paste job because he waited weeks (sometimes months) between articles. On the Flanders article he pasted sections to the page bit by bit and even added a construction tag to it. The funny part is that he didn't even try to make the language simple and it contains words like nonsensical babbling, unbearable piousness, humorless fascists and cynicism and Homer Simpson actually made it to FA there with such simple words as intolerant, dysfunctional and Aristotelian. -- Scorpion0422 01:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC) And speaking of Flanders, I was wondering if it would be worth mentioning that a notable NHL goalie has an image of Flanders on his mask, I even found a source for it, and I'm sure there are more. -- Scorpion0422 01:25, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Keep an eye on User:Fifaworld07, he stated that he wants to create pages for every Tracey Ullman short here, and then created a page for Mimi Pond, who wrote the pilot for The Simpsons and nothing else. Either way, it could be a REAL headache if he decides to go ahead with pages for the Ullman shorts. -- Scorpion0422 04:09, 7 January 2008 (UTC) InvitationHello there I see you are interested in the Life On Mars Television Series, as I am. At the moment I have A Life On Mars Wikiproject currently up for approval by the Wikiproject Approval Council. As you are interested in Life On Mars I was wondering if you would be interested in adding your name and joining. If you are interested you can find it on Wikipedia: WikiProject Council/Proposals its right at the very bottom you cant miss it as its titled ‘Wikipedia: Wikiproject Life on Mars (Television Series)’. And after your name is added to Wikiproject propsals please add it to the main page Wikipedia:Wikiproject Life On Mars If you are interested by all means feel free to join Regards Police,Mad,Jack —Preceding comment was added at 18:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC) WP:LOTDIn the last month, you have created a new WP:FL. From what I can tell, you are a veteran and have produced others in the past. Congratulations! You may be aware of WP:LOTD and have probably heard from me in prior months. We are experimenting with selecting Lists of the Day so similar to the current WP:TFA and WP:POTD features that run on the main page. I am invite those who have created new FLs in the last month to participate.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 22:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Just putting myself in Merton's shoes, I wouldn't be impressed with the picture. I'm sure there are lots of articles that could (and probably have) include(d) a sub-par photograph that have been removed by other users, so I wouldn't take it personally, which you seem to be doing. I've already started the process of finding a replacement on Flickr, and the owner of this one is willing to let it be used on Wikipedia (the conversation continued via e-mail), but she wants to add it herself because part of an online course she's taking includes a section about editing Wikipedia. - Dudesleeper Talk 14:24, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

FACsI'm still awaiting a copyeditor, but it'll be soon. What do you reckon we should collaborate on next? Alientraveller (talk) 17:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, after all that, it gets nominated by a random editor anyway. In case your curious, its the same editor that nominated it before, plus the Treehouse of Horror and Homer Simpson articles. Oh well, I hate it when things fail, lets try and get it to pass. I'll print out a copy and copyedit it while I'm in class (it's a three hour one, so I'll have lots of time). -- Scorpion0422 14:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
It's obviously not going to get a peer review, and I think we've done as much as we can to the page, I think it's time it became an FAC. -- Scorpion0422 16:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
DVD coverI was planning to expand the DVD section with some info on what the cover depicted. But then I thought it would be easier to just add an image. Something wrong with that? Buc (talk) 18:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC) I think it's very possible people may want to know what the cover looks like.

I've decided to get the ball rolling on character clean up and I've started with Homer's page. I've already cleaned it up quite a bit and added some more real world info. Would you be interested in helping or working on another member of the Simpson family? -- Scorpion0422 20:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Notting HillAgain you are being objective. By your reasoning Judi Dench would not appear in Shakespeare in Love. James Dreyfus may not have had as much of a role but beyond the friends his was the biggest role. And this is the US release poster where he is as much known as Kris Marshall and Andrew Lincoln. It is the impact in the role for some characters, not the screen time. And if you don't want to get someones back up don't be so prissy as to put sigh when adding a comment.

She looks quite different than she does in these images. Perhaps this is something we should get Xihix to ask Bill. -- Scorpion0422 15:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
And a quick question, according to your userboxes, you're a blackadder fan, so do you know if there is any truth to this? I don't watch a lot of British comedy (except Monty Python) so I have no idea, but I haven't found any reliable sources confirming it, just some posts in forums and such. -- Scorpion0422 15:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC) In case you're interested and want more world opinions on the Simpsons Movie, I found a review from Tokyo.

Simpsons movie parodies Alaska Permanent Fund DividendIt was a pretty obvious reference which I thought was made clear by the wikilink. But as you objected, I've added a citation to an outside source. It would be preferable to ask for a source, rather than simply revert. Dforest (talk) 02:14, 29 February 2008 (UTC) Yeah, it's no big deal. Actually I didn't know about it per se; I meant it was pretty obvious if you read the linked wiki article. You're right, citations are good. But if I didn't have the article on my watchlist, and notice the sentence was removed, I wouldn't have known to add a citation. Dforest (talk) 10:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC) The Simpsons WikiI noticed your message there and I figured I'd respond here because I don't know how often you go there. Yep, I'm actually a bureaucrat there and all I had to do was tell them I thought it sucked and that I wanted to help, and voila they gave me the powers. I haven't spent too much time there but I've been creating as many articles as possible because we need more users a good way to do that is to expand coverage and hope word gets out. I've tried to avoid copying stuff from Wikipedia, but I have been copying things from deleted sections and pages from here. I've also been copying old versions of episode articles before they were cleaned up. Things have been improving because there were twice as many edits this week than there were last week, but it's going to be a long slow process before we get to be even half as good as Lostpedia. As well, I think I'm going to merge the Simpsons DVD boxset page into the individual season pages like I did here. What do you think? -- Scorpion0422 04:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately the DVD of this episode that I own does not have any commentary on it so I can't anymore info from it into the article. I notice there is nothing about the opening sequence so I was think about adding that in. Not sure sure how to set it out though. I also don't think the Cultural references comes anywhere close to mentioning all the references made in this episode, for example nothing about the mention of John Denver. Buc (talk) 21:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC) I've added the opening sequence and I think the Cultural references cover everything now. Prose and stuff from the commentary probably still an issue though. Buc (talk) 07:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC) I've expanded the prodution section now. Still a major issue with the prose though I think. Buc (talk) 17:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the c/e.

Use of FlagiconsWith all due respect, all the other Harry Potter film articles contain flagicons in both released date and country.

OakleyI've decided to send the questions off tomorrow. Since we are posting the interview on WikiNews, I decided to ask some more general questions that he may have already answered before. My logic behind this is that it will all be in one useable source and he may give a different, more detailed answer than he has before. However, I've been trying to compile a list of 20 questions and I can't think of any more. Do you have any ideas? Thanks, Scorpion0422 01:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
DifferencesWell the difference is pretty obvious, you can't interpret the scene from the book they way it is in the film (changing characters states with eachother etc.). And it doesnt change the fact that the scene is very different and should really be mentioned, otherwise won't only-movie watchers think that's how it is in the books? At least tried to search the net for articles about the changes in the movies, couldn't find that much, this one calls it "-Devils Snare scene is much different."... I'm a bit disappointed at the harry potter lexicon not having it on its book/movie differences list :) ← chandler 09:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC) DYKCheers, Bobet 15:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC) -- Nice work!
