Large Amounts of Vandalism
James, I'd revert this vandalism for you, but it doesn't seem like it's bothering you. And agreeing with Torchwood Who?, the playing card joke was slightly humorous. I'll leave them on your page for your viewing pleasure.
Oh yeah, one question though on AfDs. I've been looking into people who relist AfDs due to no consensus. Is there a script they just type in to relist everything or something? I'm used to Friendly XfDing everything such that I'm not exactly familiar with this particular one. Thanks. - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 05:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Why James Why?
I have very good points on everything I have written. I just don't understand why you are being so mean to me. (I still have three out there, and one is really good)
Happy Hunting:)

Maserati MC12
I was reading over your great work on the Maserati MC12 featured article, and I noticed it needs a bit of updating, at least for the MC12 GT1. Most everything seems to stop during the middle of the 2006 season, or at least I think it does. The final paragraph caught me off guard since it claims their drivers finished 5th and 7th, yet Bartels and Bertolini actually did win the 2006 championship. I assume when you wrote that, the team had merely won the teams championship and had yet to secure the drivers championship?
Anyway, I figured it'd be good to come to you before attempting to write not only about the 2007 FIA GT season, but also preperations for 2008 as well as what eventually happened to the Doran Maserati in ALMS. The source I had provided for that needs to be replaced as well since the-paddock.net has since shut down. The359 (talk) 21:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
More Maserati MC12
I'll try and offer what I can to the article, especially regarding 2007 and plans for 2008. Also, since I found some CC pictures on Flickr earlier today, I was wondering if you think that this picture might be better for tha article than the one already in use. It's the same team from the same season, but I think the first picture is much clearer, and is a nice 3/4th shot so you can see most all of the car. It also fills the picture more than the current picture. The359 (talk) 03:44, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
DragonHorse
I'm sorry, it's a well known fact they cannot play live. They had even admitted to it. Theyre a studio band. While most of what I did was vandalism, it is true that they cant play live. 74.12.218.22 (talk) 13:33, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- If you can provide a reliable source then you can add the information to the article. Something like "Dragonforce have been criticised for their live performances being out of time..." or something like that with a link to where somebody says it. Just adding your own opinion (along with "Dragonhorse") is not useful. James086Talk | Email 13:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Half the stuff on this site doesn't even have reliable sources, or links pointing to some evidence anyway. But sorry to have bothered you, I was bored and sick of hearing that they're "amazing"... By the way, would a youtube vid of them live count? 74.12.218.22 (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
- Not really because it doesn't actually have anyone saying that their performance was bad (some people might consider that performance good). If you could find a review of one of their shows or perhaps a review of a music festival that they performed at which has a quote that would be perfect. Yes a lot of the stuff on Wikipedia is without sources but it is slowly getting there. For example the number of Featured Articles is increasing at a rate greater than 1 per day and the sourcing in those must be excellent for them to pass.

EastEnders revert?!
You reverted my edit to list of buildings in EastEnders - why? Its a valid edit. In the show, Getaway Motors has now changed back to Pats Cabs, so i moved it. 172.159.110.157 (talk) 09:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, I was incorrect in reverting you. All I saw was you removing the entire section and did not realise that the name had changed. My apologies. User:Loren.wilton also reverted for the same reason I'm sure. Sorry about that. James086Talk | Email 09:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Its ok. Thanks anyway. 172.159.110.157 (talk) 10:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Image tagging
As I said, the image is wrong. The fifth-place team(fourth-place of playoff) cannot gain a UEFA Cup ticket directly. It need to do some work. Raymond Giggs 11:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: Funny things
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it, although, IMO, User:Thingg's is much better than mine.
Your diff was pretty funny, but after this, I have tried not to include potentially offensive things in my list. I hope you won't take offense for me not using your suggestion. Cheers! J.delanoygabsadds 16:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just wondering if you can help me with something. User:John celona has broken the 3RR multiple times.
- ([1], [2], [3], [4], this is a like 5RR violation)
- Although most are not within 24hrs, the "5RR" violation does include 3 reversions within 24hrs. He was only "officially" warned about the 3RR rule here. Should I hold off filing a report on WP:AN3 until such time as John re-breaks the 3RR? Should I go back through and re-undo his reversions? Thanks in advance for your help. J.delanoy

Why have you deleted my table of weapons? I don't know how to format it again.

My edit of you private page
I took the liberty of editing your private page, James086/Portal:Featured content, because the syntax for the template {{shortcut}} is in the process of being updated. Your implementation, which worked previously, broke the new syntax. You can find more information at CAT:SHORTFIX. Best wishes. --DRoll (talk) 22:53, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Maserati MC12 updated
After much delay by, well, my own racing on the PS3, I've finally had a chance to take a stab at updating the MC12's racing history. Added several citations to the section on Doran's two races, as well as correcting some of the information on FIA GT in 2007 (mostly regarding JMB's entering the Citation Cup). Also have the list of drivers and teams for 2008. Feel free to change it as you feel necessary to better fit the article. The359 (talk) 22:50, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Now that I think about it, I wonder if some mention should be made of the pre-season testing carried out by Maserati/Ferrari in preparing the GT1? Dailysportscar has lots of news archives from 2004 regarding the development of the MC12 as well as test drivers, modifications, teams, and the debate regarding the legality of the cars. The359 (talk) 22:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Adeyto
Can you please userfy this page, I found some sources but am unfamiliar with the previous content to know if I can improve the article or not. --I Write Stuff (talk) 12:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- I think you are right, with all of the present drama I think it is a bit naive of me to assume he would take it any other way and I should have taken Bigtime's advice. I db-self'd the article. If she is notable I am sure someone else over time will have it undeleted and work on it. Thank you for your assistance none-the-less and sorry for wasting your time. --I Write Stuff (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- hi James086, I was just hoping that more editors will have the chance to see that the Adeyto article wasn't a hoax and that it wasn't either spam nor selling anything but informative and verifiable. With your new deletion, an objective opinion won't be possible. May I remind you one of Wikipedia's basic rules: If an article currently does not cite reliable secondary sources, that does not necessarily mean that its topic is spam or advertisement or not notable. If the content currently isn't, can it be made so? If the topic isn't, can it be made so? For articles of unclear notability, deletion should be a last resort. Tsurugaoka (talk) 14:19, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- The problem I see is that the article mainly links back to Adeyto, and reads more like a list of every time the person appeared on TV, instead of starring roles which I could not find. Yes they are on IMDB, yes they have been in a lot of movies, but as extra's, not the star, which makes it a pain to formulate a serious article. There is also a lot of talk about doing a video for other people, but those people are not notable, or at least do not contain articles themselves on Wikipedia so we can state, ok they are a music video producer for the stars, like Hype Williams. --I Write Stuff (talk) 16:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)--I Write Stuff (talk) 16:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- There is something like culture difference between your (occidental?) way of classifying her works and our Japanese way. Yes she was main actress in a couple of Japanese dramas (for example when she played Marilyn Monroe) or in the film Silver Kamen that is the last art work of the recently deceased Jissoji Akio, a cult director in Japan. She had supportive, memorable or key roles in many of the dramas and films. Nevertheless it is almost impossible for a foreign actor to play the main character in a Japanese drama so even cameo appearences are quite respected. We here never consider that as -extra- especially not when actor's name appears on the credits.
- I do agree though that a mere list of roles isn't too useful for anyone outside Japan and it is true that the article needs elaborate information about the actual roles. I hope that this section will grow in time, myself included will research and add data. Tsurugaoka (talk) 11:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

- It seems that the article will be restored anyway (Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 April 30) so I will let that be the process of restoration. There were a lot of links to cafepress (a website aimed at selling calendars for Adeyto), definitely qualifying as spam links (not necessarily the whole article) and the notability wasn't clear. I'm not saying the initial deletion was correct, in fact I haven't even checked whether it was correct but my deletion was because the user requested that a subpage of theirs be deleted. The article can be restored to the mainspace like it would have been if I hadn't userfied it, if the admin closing the DRV doesn't know how to do this I can show them. James086Talk | Email 01:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Please take a look at the article, it's now on my talk page. I happen to come across it when I_Write_Stuff had it on his page for few minutes. I searched like mad for the CafePress Calendar selling links and I couldn't find ANY. So I will politely beg the participants in this discussion to refrain from this accusation. I never saw those links in this artist's Wikipedia anyway. Yes there is one on artist's Official Site but that is absolutely standard and only a fool could blame them for that.

- One last comment to the over-discussed pictures, they aren't simple pictures of that person, they all are artworks as in self-portraits and as far as I understood self-designed (costumes, paintings) therefore I support keeping as many as needed, just like we would keep Van Gogh's self-portrait on his Wikipedia article, please excuse my comparison and no need to attack me for this but I just want to make clear my idea.

Reaper episode list
To clarify: this is in regards to the edit you "undid" of mine which was undoing an edit. for reference your edit and his will be referred to edit A mine and the original edit B. A vandal (you can see his IP address) changed the page to include graphic words (read- genitalia). He/she also changed the finale episode summary to read three words repeated over. And the edit he made which i corrected and you reverted also included information that was false.
The episode hinted at that, but it was never explicitly said. meaning, it's not true. Once it airs, if it is true, feel free to change it if you so desire. However, putting anything like that would be considered spoiling(if it's true and it's put out there before the episode airs). The episode the vandal put it under was the past episode but like I said, it wasn't proven. Therefore it shouldn't be on wiki- after all this is supposed to be facts no?
That's fine. Sorry about that I go defensive- I thought you were upset about the other episode change :) where i took out some more of that :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coolceruleanblue (talk • contribs) 07:39, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
