Request for Comment on a Peer Review for Glee (season 1)
Not much else to say here. =) I found you in a barnstar as an episode editor for South Park on Frickative's talk page, and thus you come across as someone with good experience in television editing. We already have one review from Bignole, but another wouldn't hurt if you care to point out anything else we may have missed. Only note: the DVD section is up for debate, but your opinion is welcome. We're trying to get the article FL status!
If you choose to take part, no need to reply here. If not, just say so here as I'm keeping this page open (my policy on talk page posting is opposite yours). CycloneGU (talk) 04:33, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry for the lack of response. I've been sort of away from Wikipedia the last few weeks because of real-life commitments, (I haven't even looked at my talk page until recently) so I'm not sure I'm the best person to help you. If in a few weeks you still don't have anyone let me know and I'll do my best, but in the meantime, it might be best if you seek someone else. Sorry! — Hunter Kahn 13:24, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hunter, how do you figure that the main content entry on the entire subject of Polygamy should have a hatnote at the very top to disambiguate between this main entry and one example of polygamy in a TV series? I reverted your addition of this hatnote since it appears to be completely WP:UNDUE. Please discuss on the talk page if you do not agree.Griswaldo (talk) 11:49, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 October newsletter
The 2010 WikiCup is over! It has been a long journey, but what has been achieved is impressive: combined, participants have produced over seventy featured articles, over five hundred good articles, over fifty featured lists, over one thousand one hundred "did you know" entries, in addition to various other pieces of recognised content. A full list (which has yet to be updated to reflect the scores in the final round) can be found here. Perhaps more importantly, we have our winner! The 2010 WikiCup champion is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), with an unbelievable 4220 points in the final round. Second place goes to TonyTheTiger (submissions), with 2260, and third to 
Casliber (submissions), with 560. Congratulations to our other four finalists – 
White Shadows (submissions), 
William S. Saturn (submissions), 
Staxringold (submissions) and 
ThinkBlue (submissions). Also, congratulations to Sasata (submissions), who withdrew from the competition with an impressive 2685 points earlier in this round.
Prizes will also be going to those who claimed the most points for different types of content in a single round. It was decided that the prizes would be awarded for those with the highest in a round, rather than overall, so that the finalists did not have an unfair advantage. Winning the featured article prize is Casliber (submissions), for five featured articles in round 4. Winning the good article prize is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for eighty-one good articles in round 5. Winning the featured list prize is Staxringold (submissions), for six featured lists in round 1. Winning the picture and sound award is 
Jujutacular (submissions), for four featured pictures in round 3. Winning the topic award is Sturmvogel_66 (submissions), for forty-seven articles in various good topics in round 5. Winning the "did you know" award is TonyTheTiger (submissions), for over one hundred did you knows is round 5. Finally, winning the in the news award is Candlewicke (submissions), for nineteen articles in the news in round three.
The WikiCup has faced criticism in the last month – hopefully, we will take something positive from it and create a better contest for next year. Like Wikipedia itself, the Cup is a work in progress, and ideas for how it should work are more than welcome on the WikiCup talk page and on the scoring talk page. Also, people are more than welcome to sign up for next year's competition on the signup page. Well done and thank you to everyone involved – the Cup has been a pleasure to run, and we, as judges, have been proud to be a part of it. We hope that next year, however the Cup is working, and whoever is running it, it will be back, stronger and more popular than ever. Until then, goodbye and happy editing!

Hello Hunter..You are correct in assuming this page is for the 2010 Southeast Emmy Award Winners. The problem was in my feed I saw that another editor removed the link to the page and what I didn't realize until it was too late was that I had already created the 2010 Southeast Emmy Awards winners page. I just had not did a redirect to it. So, I recreated the page and named it 2010 winners. In all actuality, the latter page could be deleted as redundant. So, if you would like to go ahead and move for it to be deleted I have no objections or I can do it myself. Thanks for catching it though! --Canyouhearmenow 20:28, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

At first I thought your addition was too trivial for such a large section, but upon a second reading it seems more worthy. I never saw Laserblast on MST; I did however see it in its theatrical run. Quite possibly one of the worse movies ever made.--Wlmg (talk) 19:28, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
- As I said on my talk page replying to you it's futile to WP:RS Laserblast as a Head film. Nevertheless Laserblast was still playing in theaters in the NYC area as late as Nov 1980.[1] Trust me it wasn't for its aesthetic merits that it lingered. Laserblast ignores the conventions of the traditional narrative of a protagonist, antagonist, and a clear beginning, middle, and end. --Wlmg (talk) 20:24, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
DYK for Ann Ward
| | On 6 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Ann Ward, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that fashion model Ann Ward, who was mocked as a child due to her height, was the only contestant of America's Next Top Model to be named best photo five times in a row? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Re: MST3K task force
That sounds like a great idea! I'd love to be involved. I've done mostly small edits so far on Wikipedia so this would be a great chance for me to make some larger contributions. Let me know if you need any help starting the task force. (Zap actionsdower, signing out) Zap Rowsdower (talk) 20:04, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed South Park (season 13) image fair use rationale
The following was my proposed fair use rationale for image at South Park (season 13), based in part on WP:CONSENSUS discussions here and here:
This image is the box cover of a physical collection of the entire season of episodes of said television series. The creators intended this image to be representative of the overarching story of the subject (season), which is critically discussed and commented in the article. The image, therefore, serves as the common identification of the subject to readers. Additionally, the image serves to illustrate characters of the show and the style of animation of the series, and the lack of this image would be detrimental to the understanding of readers, particularly those who are not already familiar with the series.

- I have re-added my oppose here, I believe you have been honest in the FAC and think you have done the right thing in letting the existing process decide the fate of the article, I do regret the oppose, but WP:FA Criteria is clear on the use of non-free content. Fasach Nua (talk) 12:01, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
re:Yep, I am fine but quite disappointed with this outcome. I am not sure weather two opposes means not consensus but I guess this is how things are. I will try to be more carful with this nom. Nergaal (talk) 07:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
Mega Shark articles
Great job keeping the Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus article clean. As the sequel Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus is coming up, you'll need to keep an eye on the corresponding article as well. - Areaseven (talk) 06:28, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

As you may have noticed, the backlog of unreviewed articles at DYK is reaching fearsome proportions. If you have time, a review or two would really help out.

South Park
Hi Hunter, I encourage you to soldier on with the nomination despite its rocky beginning. Nergaal's suggestion is almost helpful but needs a further step—what would be better is to ping all previous reviewers and ask them to comment on the full set of FA criteria rather than just fair use. This way, I or another delegate have other stuff to work with to determine consensus. I hope this makes sense. --Andy Walsh (talk) 17:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

South Park (season 13) season cover fair use rationale
Archived, in case it is needed later: This image serves to illustrate a DVD release of the full season discussed, and identify the season in the article. The creators intended this image to be representative of the overarching subject (the season), which is critically discussed and commented in the article. The image, therefore, serves as the common identification of the subject to readers. Additionally, the image serves to illustrate characters of the show and the style of animation of the series, and the lack of this image would be detrimental to the understanding of readers, particularly those who are not already familiar with the series. The use of this image does not limit the copyright owners right or capability to market or profit from products or works in which the character appears. — Hunter Kahn 17:00, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm curious - where did you get the notion that sources do not need to be checked? Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles and Wikipedia:What the Good article criteria are not are useful guidelines which do indicate that sources need checking. I'm doing a GA review right now, and the nominator appears a little agitated that I am not taking their word for it and wish to take my time and check sources. I look at the first GA article they have listed on their userpage and note your comment that you are assuming good faith (which is a behavioural guideline, not a content guideline). I wonder if there are a group of people who believe in this, and wondered where you got the idea from. SilkTork *YES! 13:46, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- In this case, I didn't have access to the offline sources used, so (after confirmed the sources used were RS) I accepted those sources AGF and then confirmed the information was accurate with other sources. In other words, although I couldn't confirm it came from the specific page number of the specific source cited, I did confirm where possible that the information in the article was accurate. Being a journalist, I do understand the importance of sources, but in this case I felt my review was fairly done. I certainly think, however, that it's not at all unreasonable for you to vigorously review and verify those sources yourself if you feel the need. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 15:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for getting back to me. I understand what you are saying; however, we assume good faith regarding people's motives - we don't assume good faith regarding the accuracy of sources. What I'm curious about is if you had read somewhere that sources were not checked during a GA review. The reason I ask is that it was mentioned during one of the GA reviews I am currently doing, and I'm wondering if people are reading this somewhere, such as on another GA review. I'm glad you were able to verify the article by using other sources; however, it might be an idea if in future you didn't say during GA reviews that you are assuming the sources are correct. Not all sources in an article need checking, but a sufficent number do to ensure the accuracy of the statements, as well as checking for potential copyright issues, bias and original research. People sometimes misunderstand or misread sources, or use too much of the text, so it's worth looking into this. SilkTork *YES! 17:11, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
- I hear what you're saying, and understand the concern with which you brought this up. I'll keep this in mind for future GA reviews, and will be more careful with what I say at those reviews (i.e., I'll try not to give teh impression that I am assuming sources are correct or that I don't feel checking sources are important). — Hunter Kahn 17:14, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Sister wives publicity photo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sister wives publicity photo.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 22:29, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- I'd say so. Formatting it with Template:Non-free use rationale may be useful. However, I'm assuming the subjects are still alive; non-free images of living people is generally a big no-no. J Milburn (talk) 22:50, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
re: Parks and Recreation
Hi again! Nice job with all the Parks and Rec articles, and especially great with those two last episodes - I had no idea there was so much production information available for such an underrated show! I'll probably get around to reviewing The Master Plan (Parks and Recreation) later today, if that helps. 97198 (talk) 01:30, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- And done. I put in on hold because there's one thing I'd like to hear your opinion on. 97198 (talk) 13:19, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Probably should put it back in
With three editors saying that they will oppose if the image isn't in the South Park article and just Fasach Nua saying he will oppose if it is, I think it's better to put the image back in at this point. DCGeist made a good point about this setting a bad precedent if the image is left removed. SilverserenC 21:07, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Opposing over the lack of an image is not actionable, as it is not part of the FA criteria. --Andy Walsh (talk) 23:32, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

In Temptation
Sorry about the FAC closing with no promotion, and for my lagging review. Like I said, I have been out of town visiting family for the Christmas holiday and was only getting quick glances at any one article all week. I'd like to think that I wasn't making "pot shots" at the article, but merely pointing out easily identifiable things that I saw during my quick glances. Anyway, I'm back in town now so I'll have more time to actually read every aspect of the article in more detail instead of quick skims. If I see anything I'll just leave it on the talk page. Other than that, I'd wait a couple of weeks and just renominate it. It isn't like there was a consensus not to promote it, I think people just side-tracked because of the time of year and probably forgot to come back to the page and voice a support for the article. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:08, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- As an aside, I didn't mean "pot shots" as a negative term. To me it just means picking various things from the article without providing a comprehensive review. I do it all the time when I don't have time to go through the whole thing. No offense was intended. --Andy Walsh (talk) 17:15, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
