Baboon grooming

In more than 10,000 edits over more than two years, that's actually my first barnstar given for a real and honest reason (I think I got another one once for just existing). I've long since come to the conclusion that 98% of barnstars are given out as social signals by social WP climbers, a lot like baboon-grooming. Some of the worst admins I've ever seen, have whole pages of them. But again, thanks for one that I'm sure isn't one of THOSE. SBHarris 17:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Bugaboo (The Flea)

Hello JediLofty, thank you very much for taking the time to contact me.

The reason way I moved Bugaboo (The Flea) was because I placed it with the other Quicksilva games released in 1983. To simply put it, the games are to go in order by year of release (1983) then by publisher (Quicksilva) and alphabetically (B). Complicated? Yeah I agree, but I soon got used to it and I hope you'll soon get used to it as well when adding new games. I hope you understand my reason, it's not a matter of doing something wrong, it's only logical and I'm just meeting guidelines. It's all I can do really.

The page itself is an ongoing one will loads of games still to be added in. I appreciate your work in adding a game that we missed earlier. I am currently working to improve the page, but if you wish to help out then I give you my blessing and if you need any further inquiries on this topic, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll be glad to assist.

Thanks again and take care. Raphie (talk) 13:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC) ==

Ok me again, I'm just gonna give you an example of how a new game should by listed in the List of ZX Spectrum games page. Say a made up game, Rage of the Animals, Wikisoft, 1990. First look for the 1990 column, then look at the list and you'll see the games are in order of publisher, so just go to W and slot Wikisoft in between Virgin Games and Your Sinclair. Then if Wikisoft had more then one release in 1990, (say Vandal Busters), then place Rage of the Animals above Vandal Busters and PRESTO! you have added a new game to the list. Hope you'll find this helpful when adding new games. Raphie (talk) 14:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Michael Starr (playwright)

Hello! While I am usually not in the habit of provoking 6'7" blokes, I can say that I decided to remove the speedy delete tag for two reasons: (1) primarily, I was able to locate some information on the subject (as Michael Starr) via Google, and (2) the article is a bit on the old side and I felt that either AfD or a Prod would have been more suitable. The article does state that referencing is needed (the tag is at the bottom of the piece -- I will move it back to where it belongs). I hope this is a satisfactory explanation. If not, then please give me at least 30 seconds for a good running head start. Cheers! Ecoleetage (talk) 15:36, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, on the Internet you can be whatever you want to be! Why be a wimp when you can be a ferocious bully? :) With the article's subject, try Googling "Michael Starr" -- a few things pop up. Not much, admittedly, but I did say that his notability was "marginal" (he's not Harold Pinter, by any stretch). In generally, I believe it is best form for older articles like the Starr piece to go to AfD for erasure -- I often dig through the WP:Backlog in search of old muck. In any event, I've enjoyed making your acquaintance and I hope to see you online again soon!

The template you're looking for

Is indeed the {{notaforum}} template. Simply use the parameter to specify your required message after the words "This is not a forum for general discussion of..." So you might use something like {{|notaforum|voice cast, how much you hate the character designs, the new interpretations of Transformer biology or how this movie "isn't Transformers"}}.

Grambling T Dominique, Jr.

Hello, Jedi Lofty, I'm new to wikipedia and i'm a Sport's reporter for KO Magazine, and a exiciting boxer that has been getting a little "pub" lately has come accross my desk. I was unaware that Boxx Faxx Magazine wrote an article on this fighter until I read the Deletion Page posted. (By the way, your conclusions were all incorrect about this fighter) however, I wish to continue to finsh my article and I have verifiable facts of his history in this game as well, so feel free to contact me again, and again, I'm sorry if I started a new incident here. I will include all "ref-points" in my article for wikipedia's review. Thank you. 15:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC)15:50, 20 September 2008 (UTC) Sport's Rec.

Hello Jody, again I would like to express my opinion on you request to have my user page, Grambling T Dominique, Jr., deleted. This boxer is remarkable, and I do not know User Boxx Faxx, However I am aware of the Magazine. I report on boxers and I want to do an independant piece on this boxer. He is well published and as you can see my article is still "under construction", as I am still gathering all my facts. Please allow me to do that. My user page is the begenning of my fact finding quest and as you well know several so-called boxing sites are unreliable with bad information, and they disclose this on there sites as well. I want to ensure the editors that this addition well be "an addition" to wikipedia. Thk You.10:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sports Rec (talk • contribs)

M&M's World

Hi JediLofty

Just noticed that you removed the gallery of photos from M&M's World, I understand and agree it does not bring any encyclopedic facts to the article but it does not harm either. The photos are here to illustrate a place that not everyone can have the chance to visit. It is a real plus for levering the quality of any article especially if the photos are nice, I personally like to find such in articles I am going through. Would you mind to revert that change? Richieman (talk) 15:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

The article will most likely grow up and the gallery would then make sense (and anyway illustrates the subject as some galleries do for example for buildings and skyscrapers). Could you let me know where in WP:SPAM there is an argument against such addition to articles? Anyway do not be so strict else the "wiki spirit" may get lost and the contributors leave with it. I added a link within the articles to the Wikicommons category, hope it is fine with you. Richieman (talk) 19:25, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Transformers is a 2007 American science fiction action film based on the Transformers toy line. The film, which combines computer animation with live action, is directed by Michael Bay and produced by Steven Spielberg. It stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager involved in a war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, two factions of alien robots that can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery. The Decepticons desire control of the AllSpark, the object that created their robotic race, with the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Anthony Anderson and John Turturro also star, while actors Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving voice Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively. Transformers was a box-office success, despite mixed critical reaction. Two sequels have been released: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in 2009 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2011.
