[edit] Welcome, version 2.0

F.A. Angel, welcome to Wikipedia! I have to say, for a "new" editor (not counting any editing you may have done prior to registering, of course), you have done really well so far, as I've seen in both the Wikidragon template and the Laurel McGoff article. Only three days into editing, and I wouldn't have known better without taking a glance at your contribution history.
So anyway, welcome and thank you for your very constructive and helpful edits thus far. Best of luck in the future and I hope to work with you on more articles in the future! VigilancePrime (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
What can I say? I learn at an unbelievable rate! lol
By next week I expect to be running this place... ;-) For An Angel (talk) 13:58, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
We could be so lucky... (cute, your edit fixing my format error... cute referring to the edit summary.) :-) VigilancePrime (talk) 21:52, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quick request

In the future, if you could use {{Film}} instead of {{WikiProject Film}}, I'd be very grateful. Although the latter one automatically redirects to the former, it has been deprecated, and we're trying to phase out its usage as task force tagging slowly occurs over the next year or so. Knowing that it's not being added to new articles would put me greatly at ease. Thanks! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 08:52, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 10 February 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hidden in America, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

—Wknight94 (talk) 18:42, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Yay! *squeak* I'm so proud! lol - For An Angel (talk) 21:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
This is the quote that was featured. [1]

[edit] Just for fun

Angel, I have been impressed with your edits since first we "met" and had the thought to ask if I might enlist your assistance in a few (future?) WikiEssays that I have begun or conceived. I value others' views and think that you would be a great help to them. A couple literally need complete writing and a couple have been started. Anyway, feel free to take a look and if you're interested and able to contribute, please do! I would appreciate the help! It's just for fun, if you have the time and the inkling. The essays are:
  • Create Your Own Cabal —
  • Don't Assume Good Faith —
  • Don't Engage In Crusades —
  • Edit Counts Don't Matter —
  • Guilty Until Proven Innocent —
  • WikiPhilia —
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide! • VigilancePrime • • • 20 21:37 Feb '08

[edit] WikiProject: The Clique

At the moment, I am working on the template for the WikiPorject and it should be up around next week. It would be great if you could help out with cleaning up the pages. Any possible way that you could make a The Clique navbox so we could have all the pages easily accesible? If you could that would be really, really great. Thanks for volunteering! Yours truly,Broadway4life155 (talk) 16:39, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I totally forgot that there was already one. Silly me! Since you havn't read the books, I can't think of anything for you to do at this moment, but I'm sure I come up with something soon. Thanks agian! Yours truly, Broadway4life155 (talk) 00:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey! Just dropping by to let you know that my idea for WikiProject:The Clique was shot down (grr...) but one of the editors commented that, if I wanted to, I could start a "The Clique series" Task Force. I posted it on the WikiProject:Novels Talk page to see if anyone else is interested. I need atleast five editors behind me on this before I can start it up, so If you could stop by and sign your name, that would be really, really great. Thanks! yours truly,Broadway4life155 (talk) 14:03, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
'Ello! Just got your message! The post for a "The Clique" Task Force can be found in the WikiProject:Novels talk pge under the heading "The Clique". Thanks so so so much! Yours truly, Broadway4life155 (talk) 21:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey! The Clique taskforce hasn't been started up just yet. My computer's being a big fat jerk and keeps letting all these pop-ups that invade my screen. If you want to start it the taskforce up, that'd be great! Yours truly Broadway4life155 (talk) 00:41, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Films coordinator elections

The WikiProject Films coordinator selection process is starting. We are aiming to elect five coordinators to serve for the next six months; if you are interested in running, please sign up here by March 28! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 10:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Abigail and Brittany

Nice how the so called superiors are actually making it harder to make wiki better and infact removing things, what might be constituted as vandilism. Brings to mind the military, you've got the normal soldiers at the bottom doing all the work and at the top you've got the commissioned officers who are supposed to be leading, the most skilled, but in the words of one WWII Vet "Most officers I wouldn't follow to the beach". And questioning can get you court martialed, or banned here. Just felt like complaining to someone else, pay me no mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.207.191 (talk) 05:32, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

And now for a (hopefully) more constructive comment ... if you haven't found it already, I've taken our discussion to Talk:Abigail and Brittany Hensel, where it'll hopefully get more people to comment. -- Smjg (talk) 17:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I noticed and I was just waiting to see if someone knows anything about it. After doing some more searching, I still haven't found anything. There just isn't enough information. For An Angel (talk) 17:30, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New actor stub types

Hi - two or more stub types which you created have been nominated for deletion or renaming at Wikipedia:Stub types for deletion. The stub types, which were not proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, do not meet the standard requirements for a stub type, either through being incorrectly named, ambiguously scoped, or through failure to meet standards relating to the current stub hierarchy or likely size, as explained at Wikipedia:Stub. Please feel free to make any comments at WP:SFD regarding these stub types, and in future, please consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 00:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] lifetime and defaultsort

Hi. Check the conversation in my talk page for the same subject! I've been running AWB. It replaces Lifetime with Categories. I am usually just correcting the bug AWB has. (Check my talk page). Thanks, Magioladitis (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

I would prefer, if you were waiting some days and the guys with AWB fix the bug, because many users may change it back. Moreover, I see no difference in Lifetime and in Categories+DS. Maybe the second is better for people not familiar to Lifetime. I am adding Lifetime sometimes as well. Cheers, Magioladitis (talk) 18:17, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Genie

You are a fairly new editor here in the project and perhaps you are unaware that we should assume good faith about the contributions of others here. I am a professional genealogist, I take a bit of umbrage at your suggestion that I'm making up my sources. Hopefully you can temper your remarks in the future. Thanks. Wjhonson (talk) 20:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Intentionally Concealed?

Just a note about your note in Talk Genie page. I agree it appears that the name was "intentionally concealed". But I think the important point is that it was concealed and is not now generally known. Whether or not it was done "intentionally" seems to me secondary.

Best wishes, Wanderer57 (talk) 15:23, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It's probably redundant to say that it was intentionally concealed since just saying it was concealed would imlpy that it was done intentionally. I was just trying to stress that it wasn't merely forgotten. For An Angel (talk) 17:10, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi FAA,

I know that you were meaning to be helpful, but it is generally not a good idea to change another person's talkpage posts, per [2], even if you are right (as you are in this case!!!). Dropping the person a note is always a possibillity, though, so that they can change it themselves, or writing a quick correction underneath. I think it is best to change it back to 38, wrong though it is. Would you like to do it, or shall I? --Slp1 (talk) 16:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I reverted myself and added a note underneath. Thanks for all your help, btw. I had no idea it was going to turn into this huge deal when I first stated. For An Angel (talk) 18:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
No problemo on both... I am glad you took up the issue and sought help in the way you did. It is also encouraging that people seem to be so unanimous about it (OK, with one exception!).--Slp1 (talk) 18:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I was personally shocked there weren't more people disagreeing with me. It's nice to think I'm not as crazy as I think I am (?) Anyways, I want my next goal to be to remove her name from the foreign Wikipedia articles, which won't be easy seeings as how I don't know no other languages. For An Angel (talk) 18:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Liesel Matthews

WP:EL says that an external link should provide "a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a Featured article". Tell me something that is in the interview that should go into the article to make it a featured article. Certainly not her comments about having fun with Blake Heron, or that she likes TV, talking to friends, music, and tennis. Let me suggest that if there is a special tidbit in the interview that you think should go in the article, add it to the body of the article and cite the interview there. Then interested readers will know how to find the interview. Be careful, however, not to add useless trivia, such as Matthews' comments that I point out above. Cheers. Ward3001 (talk) 23:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't mean to make a false assumption, but have you actually read all of WP:EL? Have you read the part that I quote above? Again, tell me something that is in the interview that should go into the article to make it a featured article.
"what difference does it make if it's used as a reference or an external link": To put it simply, Wikipedia policy is the difference. To be very frank, I don't think there's anything in the interview that's worth adding to the article, but if you feel strongly that there is, that's up to you. I just ask you to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines about what's notable enough to include in an article. The fact that she had fun with Blake Heron when she was a child isn't notable. Ward3001 (talk) 23:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
"you seem to have a very condescending attitude": I'm defending Wikipedia policy, but I'm defending it politely and with respect. I have not made any condescending comments. Please understand a core principle of Wikipedia: "any writing you contribute can be mercilessly edited". Disagreement is not equivalent to condescension. If you don't want your edits questioned or challenged, maybe you should reconsider whether you should be an editor.
"you already said that you don't think there's anything there worth adding ": That's my opinion. You may have a different opinion. That's not condescending. It's expressing an opinion.
"I know you'll just revert me":No you don't, unless you have a better crystal ball than the rest of us. I'm simply asking you to think about what you add to the article and avoid useless trivia. If you're afraid I'll revert, let me suggest that you discuss on Talk:Liesel Matthews what you wish to add, and see what the reaction is.
Cheers. Ward3001 (talk) 00:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
"I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill.": I'm sorry you feel that way. You're certainly entitled to your opinion. I don't agree that Wikipedia policies are a "molehill". There are well-established reasons for these policies because, unlike other encyclopedias, the policies are the only means of editorial control. Otherwise anyone could do anything, which would result in chaos and a very poor quality encyclopedia.
Cheers. Ward3001 (talk) 14:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adolfo Farsari

Please help me distinguish two related templates: {:{DEFAULTSORT}} and/or {:{lifetime}}.

GrahamHardy edited Adolfo Farsari today. It was a modest change -- substituting {:{lifetime}} for {:{DEFAULTSORT}}. As I was about to ask for an explanation at GrahamHardy, I saw the message from you which explains his actions ... but I guess I don't quite understand the difference between people and articles?

I don't quite understand what I'm missing, so my efforts to pose a good question are a bit awkward; but there you have it. --Tenmei (talk) 18:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] In America

Hello! I appreciate your very gracious note re: changing the format of the Awards and nominations section in this article, since most editors rarely approach others before making changes they see fit. Please understand I mean absolutely no offense when I say I find the format you suggested unsightly and not very encyclopedic in nature. I realize there are people who like utilizing various boxes filled with data in articles, but I personally find them unattractive - especially when they're very long, as the one for In America would be - and feel there's nothing wrong with lists. That said, there surprisingly are no guidelines for the Awards and nominations section in film articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines, so I suppose anything goes, and since no one can claim ownership of an article, I certainly can't ask or tell you to leave In America as is. But allow me to repeat how much I appreciate your taking the time to contact me and acknowledging the time and effort I put into the article. Thanks!!! MovieMadness (talk) 18:36, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Fictional children

Hi, thanks for the heads-up re category:fictional children. I generally enjoy a learning experience! Thanks for pushing the boundaries to make a better encyclopedia. - Fayenatic (talk) 07:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No, thank you for being less stubborn than I am! lol For An Angel (talk) 13:08, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Tada! I hope you like what I've done with Category:Fictional children and Category:Fictional children by medium. Now let the populating begin! - Fayenatic (talk) 19:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks great. I'll be sure to put a lot of effort into populating them. For An Angel (talk) 23:42, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Great! Please see the discussion at Category talk:Fictional children by medium‎ before you add any animated TV characters. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:06, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DRV

Hi. :) Just wanted to be clear with regards to my note at the current DRV (I'm being coy with its name for BLP concerns) that I did not intend to suggest wrongdoing on your part, but only to explain why you might not have notified the creator, something to which Wjhonson evidently takes issue. I don't know that I'd have notified the creator of a redirect of an RfD either when he left 8 months before the RfD. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I understand completely. I didn't mean to make it seem like I thought you were accusing me of wrongdoing. I just wanted people to hear it from me so that they'd know what you were assuming was true.
