Please don't delete material

Hi, just noticed you wiped a paragraph from Gmail. Not a good idea. Deleting material gets people upset, reverting a good faith contribution is even worse. As a new user, take it easy...contribute stuff, but don't delete other users' contributions. No harm done, but maybe check out Wikipedia:Avoiding common mistakes... Stevage 18:01, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Not released yet

Hey GrahameS, "The Adventure" wasn't released yet. The video is on MTV and MuchMusic, but the CD single wasn't released. That is what the first paragraph is talking about. Happy editing, Zingazin 17:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Abu, I see nothing wrong with its licensing (as far as I know there's no free alternative, so this image is fine), I have therefore removed the tag. Dionyseus 19:07, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the fair use rationale, GrahameS. I believe now, it's the best non-free image we can use for that article. --Abu Badali 13:59, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Friends

I did that because it's up for deletion, and I figured it was better to have it back there than have all the information lost. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 03:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Religious opposition to witchcraft themes

You said: "The views of one person don't belong here, and the reference you cite is useless."

1. The "one person" you speak of was noticed on the national level. A person whose voice is noticed by the nation is significant.
2. This "one person"'s views are a clear example representative of the section's subject matter.
3. This is a recent event. ie. current.
4. What do you mean the reference is useless?

-- Jason Palpatine 20:06, 20 September 2006 (UTC) (speak your mind | contributions)

Hi. Sorry if my comment sounded harsh, I didn't intend it that way. By "useless" I meant the link didn't go to the story you intended, I think [1] is what you wanted.

As far as removing it from the article, I still stand by that. The opposition to Harry Potter on the basis of witchcraft etc. is already mentioned in the article, and the specific instance you cite isn't notable by itself - the article says it was only attended by 30 people, and only was covered in a local newspaper, definitely not on a "national" level. If you wanted to put it back you could use it as a footnote to support the sentence "Rowling has had to contend with considerable backlash, particularly from Fundamentalist Christian groups who believe the series’ pagan imagery is dangerous to their children." but i really don't think it's notable enough to deserve a whole paragraph.

GrahameS 00:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

1. Yes, [2] is what I meant.
2. It was on AP/RUETERS.
3. A footnote? Uh, how do we go about doing that. The lady was using some pretty strong words. Like the Presedent of Venezuala calling President Bush Satan himself. Sheshhhhhhhhhhh. -- Jason Palpatine 01:08, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Friday Night In Hollywood

In the pilot, when Simon is warming up the crowd and then cues the announcer who distinctly says “Live from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It’s Friday night in Hollywood!” to which Simon replies "I love it when he does that!" also at the end of episode two right after the song has ended, and I have the whole song recorded to back me up on this(i'll e-mail the song to you if you want), the announcer once again says “Live from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. It’s Friday night in Hollywood!” so I don't mean to throw it back in your face, but maybe YOU should watch the show, more closely that is. P.S. Google search for "Friday Night In Hollywood": [3].Comedywriter84 08:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

A little of both

It appears that both titles are used at different times in different places, both seemed to be used in episode two, what i'm now saying is making a denotation addressing the discrepancy in the continuity of this issue.Comedywriter84 14:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

What Goes Around...

I understand you love your spaces but its not even that big of a deal. plenty of articles dont have spaces after periods.so unless you are on a neverending quest, i suggest you stop while you're ahead.-- Gregxscene 03:23, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: The Pacific (miniseries)

RE: "Why was the title sentence removed?"

It is called VANDALISM.

• Why do people spray paint the side of buildings?
• Why do people shot windows out of cars?
• Why do people break into schools and smash everything they can?
• Why do people rape people?
• Why do people shoot people?

Asking "why?" is just feeding into the egos of such people.

75.132.141.159 (talk · contribs) did the vandalism here.

Try scrolling back through the "history" tab to find the vandalism and then restoring or reverting what they did. The "history" tab is your friend.

You only reverted half of what the user removed.

Why are we here?
