WikiProject Wikify Alert: Check out the backlog cleanup taskforce

D.O.R.

At first I was really confused, because I didn't know what you were talking about. I really messed up, I was looking at different tabs on firefox and I was editing another biography. I must have mixed up the talk pages.

Thanks for fixing it up.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Timkmak (talkcontribs) .

No problem. —Nate Scheffey 22:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

From the SNOW talk page

Nate hi. I just realized that I didn't reply to the most important part of your post at Misplaced Pages talk:Snowball clause#Is this a guideline already?, so I'd like to do that now.

In cases of WP:PROD and, as far as I'm concerned, WP:SNOW, it is not ok for any admin to just ignore objections because they decide the objector is a troll. Such actions, even if they're correct on some level, cause more trouble than they're worth in the form of ill-will.

If one finds another's comments unproductive, there are much better ways to say it than "you're becoming quite tiresome in your trollishness". There are ways to say one doesn't think someone is being constructive without poisoning the well. In fact, there's been quite a lot of backlash against that particular admin, largely because of such unhelpful comments as the one you linked to, and he's stopped using his admin tools as a result of that backlash. Most of us do not consider it cool or helpful to be dismissive or contemptuous to contributors who voice concerns (see point #7 here), and we're working to reinforce a culture where that kind of nonsense doesn't happen.

I think Misplaced Pages in changing, in a direction of greater respect and civility. I'm sorry you were called a troll; viewing your contributions, I don't think you are one. -GTBacchus 15:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, GT, and thanks for your thoughtful, personalized response. I have gotten the impression that Tony Sidaway is a bit of a special case, and certainly not representative of admins in general. But he is not the first admin to get a little too fired up with the "us-against-the-trolls" mindset. Nor will he be the last. This is what worries me about SNOW, which I otherwise think is a somewhat useful tool. I've written more in depth at the SNOW talk page, but my point is that we need to prevent SNOW from being used as a drama-causing weapon. I think we can achieve this, but we need to expressly agree on it first.
As for Tony's specific accusation against me, I concede that I was being a bit snide, after trying and failing to tone down the discourse. But I'm almost positive I'm not a troll, and I thank you for agreeing. —Nate Scheffey 05:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Something you should know

Your girlfriend misses you and loves you very much. Please forgive her for anything that might have upset you. You are great guy and she is very lucky to have you. Love you 24.181.193.95 04:44, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

{{endspoiler}}

The {{endspoiler}} template is only for use to end spoiled text midsection, not at the end of the section. If one whole section is a spoiler, then you don't need an endspoiler to end it, i.e.

 ==Plot==
 {{spoiler}}
 The plot would go here...

would need no endspoiler because it is understanded that at the end of a section, there are no more spoilers, but if a spoiler tag covers more than one section, you can have separe tags (which is preferred by many users) or...

 ==Themes==
 The opening/un-spoiling themes are discussed here...
 {{spoiler}}
 spoiling-themes
 {{endspoiler}}
 more un-spoiling themes.

Do you get it? I'm not sure how to really explain, but if there is only one section that is spoiled, no end tag is needed, but if there is less than a section, yes. Cbrown1023 21:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Crystal clear. Thanks for the info. —Nate Scheffey 23:48, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Three Kings (film) GA Nomination

Just a heads-up. I put the nomination on hold and left some notes on its talk page of things to add to it. Cbrown1023 00:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, you are completely right about the glaring ommission of a Reception section. I knew this, and had listed it on the talk page under ToDo. Working on it now. By the way, if you dont mind, do you have any other suggestions? Is this getting anywhere near FA? I've never really been through the process. Thanks again, —Nate Scheffey 00:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
As for nearing FA-quality, I would probably have to say no. For a show of what types of information FA-class articles about films should have, you should look at the articles in Category:FA-Class film articles. One other thing you could possibly do to expand the article: Add some more images (this may not be a necessity and may be hard to do). The only other thing to do would be to look at FA film articles (as stated above) to get ideas for other sections that you may want to include (becuase FA articles are not just the bare bones, they are in-depth and include many different topics related to the film). If you have any further questions, you can contact me on my talk page. Cbrown1023 00:25, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
