If you do make a mistake, that's fine, we'll assume good faith and just correct you: it'll take a few seconds maximum! Here, however, are a few links to get you started:

[edit] Welcome!

Big shiny welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Firefly WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Firefly's coverage of topics.

A few features that you might find helpful:

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? Our style guidelines outline some things to include.
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every Firefly article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow Browncoat, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Keep flyin'plange 01:12, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Game Templates

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computer and video games

rv, you keep changing the template to standards that haven’t been finalized yet, you're jumping the gun

rv, again, changes weren't brought up on talk page like required, plus it doesn't follow {{Navbox generic}} standards, which is norm for these navboxes

[edit] Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

Just as a heads up: the villain list is getting insanely too big. The "dark" versions of characters are only used in training missions, which in my opinion isn't notable enough to be listed. I've posted a section on the talk page about this, but I doubt it will get many responses. It seems like most of the people that edit the page, don't check the talk page alot.

[edit] Re: Mathbot missing importance

There is a bit of a bug with Mathbot. Whenever it does quality stats boxes, like Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Canada-related articles by quality statistics, it doesn't link to the importance categories, and will infact remove the links if they have been added when it updates, like here. Just wanted to let you know so you can improve the bot. JQF • Talk • Contribs 15:33, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I fixed that. The stats will have those links when the bot runs tonight. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Cool. JQF • Talk • Contribs 04:58, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for adding the Wikilink to my userbox. I didn't know if I could do that or not, so I just left it bold. First one I had done...with more to come :o) - Rock on...SVRTVDude 00:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Canada

Hi, I'm an American but I like (and work on) a lot of Vancouver produced TV articles. Anyways, drop me a note if their's some part of the project you'd like help with, I just did the assessment/importance category pages. - Peregrine Fisher 08:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You may wish to check out {{tlu}}.

Please check out the changes I made at Wikipedia talk:Userboxes/New Userboxes -- 02:44, February 17, 2007. You used {{tl}} for templates in your user space. However, you wanted {{tlu}}. Same thing, but different namespace. Will (Talk - contribs) 08:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. JQF • Talk • Contribs 18:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I fixed your user boxes

You had many user boxes that were not displaying properly because they were moved per WP:UM. Please verify I got the correct boxes. I doubt what you had was what you wanted. So this version is almost certainly an improvement. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I hadn't been aware of a major userbox migration. Everything seems to be fine. JQF • Talk • Contribs 13:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Good. Thanks for double checking. Will (Talk - contribs) 02:03, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Centralized video game navbox discussion

You previously expressed a strongly-stated opinion about a video game navbox or all video game navboxes in general, or perhaps I clicked on your talk page by mistake. Whichever it is, you are invited to offer your opinion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Navboxes III: Son of Navboxes. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:PleaseThinkOfTheCatgirls.gif

If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

[edit] Comanche

With regard to your edit of 21 March, I am not sure that pushing the TOC off of the first screen of the Comanche article is necessarily a good thing. It might be better instead to move, or delete, the map on the left hand side. What do you think? --Bejnar 22:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, with an article that long and with that many sections, something needs to be done with the TOC, although the image may have confused what needed to be done. I'd say that the image should be moved, as it still has purpose, but doesn't appear to be in the right section. JQF • Talk • Contribs 22:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I've moved some stuff around. How does it look? JQF • Talk • Contribs 22:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
It looks ever so much better. Thanks. --Bejnar 23:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You tube links on your user page

Hi, I note that you have linked a few You Tube clips from your user page. Would you possibly reconsider this given that some of the links appear to be to possible copyright violations?

It is appreciated that a lot of material on You Tube is 'grey', but linking to potential copyright violations reflects badly on yourself and Wikipedia. Replacment of the links with 'legal' ones or with links to content under 'free' licences would be ideal Sfan00 IMG 12:47, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

I see no problem, the foundation is hosting nothing illegal or against policy :) Talk to symode09's or How's my driving? 12:49, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 Parsecs

Any chance you'll update Parsec Awards to include the 2007 finalists? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 12.197.7.22 (talk) 20:29, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

Done JQF • Talk • Contribs 20:44, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of I Love the World

A tag has been placed on I Love the World, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TorstenGuise (talk) 13:49, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Marvel Comics films

This template is only for films that have moved beyond announced and are already in production. As you may notice in the history... I already attempted to add the Avengers series to the list once. Adding the Avengers series to this list is a sure fire way to get the article The Avengers (film series)‎ deleted. You could help defend tha article on Talk:The Avengers (film series)‎... eventually... there will be enough movies in production to add it to the template.--Dr who1975 (talk) 17:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay. To prevent this issue from occurring again, I've added <!--NOTE: This template is only for films that have moved beyond announcements and are already in production--> to various spots in the template so that people can clearly see this. JQF • Talk • Contribs 18:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
That was a good idea.--Dr who1975 (talk) 21:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BigbyWolf.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:BigbyWolf.JPG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
