[edit] New page again

It's been a year since the talk page has been archived. This monster length showed nothing much but that I was really lax as an editor in the past year - I received just the same amount of messages (including routine updates from SCOTM and WPHK) as I'd receive during my peak days in one month... That could mean I'm stepping down from Wikipedia, or I need to really brush up my work...

Anyway Happy messaging! --Deryck C. 05:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IMDb

Hello DC. In response to your comment: According to WP:V (policy) and WP:RS (guideline), "Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." IMDb allows any person with an e-mail account and a web browser that accepts cookies to set up an account and submit information. In my opinion, that makes their fact-checking reputation suspect. According to this essay, I am not alone in this opinion. It reads: "Trivia on sites such as IMDb or FunTrivia should not be used as sources. These media do not have adequate levels of editorial oversight or author credibility and lack assured persistence." Admittedly, this is just an essay, not a policy or guideline, but it does represent the assessments of many editors.

It appears that the hollywood.com and Variety pages dedicated to the film in question have exactly the same information. I wouldn't cite the hollywood.com page, as it caused my browser to crash. However, Variety is a publication that does have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, and I see no problem with citing it as a source. Thanks for finding those.

[edit] Adoption

Thanks for the reply. I don't mind at all as I myself am around only scarsely.Rohit Reddy™ (talk) 05:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adopting me. I would like to know if there are any special facilities for easy communication between the adopter and the adoptee. I would also like to know about your specializations so that you can enhance my knowledge in those fields.Rohit Reddy™ (talk) 04:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lam Tin Station

Image:Sameboat temp.png
zh University Station (East Rail) in 1440*900. The stackup is basically looks the same as in the bottom of Lam Tin Station article
See also: Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial#Avoiding_image_.22stackups.22

The number of pic thumbnails override the article itself, I just removed the least important one. If readers are interested by the station architechture, they have the choice to access to the photo catalog in Commons Wikimedia, that's all. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 11:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually using 1440*900 full screen. For 1024*768, it's not entirely satisfying imo. I only demand removal of redundant image thumbnails. whichever you remove isn't my concern. -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 14:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
This is it. I pray there is no aggression between us. Let's move on. =v= -- Sameboat - 同舟 (talk) 14:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem =) Just thought I would shake the leaves a little to try and clear up some of the backlog. I left about 160 users messages, so we should have no problem clearing it up. Best of luck with school. xenocidic (talk) 22:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Categorization

How can we add any article to a particular category? I tried to categorize Y. Venugopal Reddy by adding [[Category:Indian economists] and [[Category:Governors of the Reserve Bank of India] at the bottom. But it did not work.Rohit Reddy™ (talk) 13:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I have tried that, but it was of no use. Here, I have put only single closing brackets because, if I put double closing brackets, they are categorizing this page.Rohit Reddy™ (talk) 05:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

You didn't see any edit history because I first saw the preview. It was not working. So, I did not save the page. Anyways, the article has been categorised by someone. Still, I could learn how to do that. Rohit Reddy™ (talk) 12:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

can you adopt me please. Wikieditor222 (talk) 19:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
