== Hey! ==

Long time, mate. How have you been?

I've come with some bad news. As you may have noticed Shahid has had to fight through quite a lot throughout his times. I'm in a bit of a struggle now was well.

A user has returned and is tampering with GA articles, and adapted a "ownage" feeling. Furthermore, he has used threats and is introducing his own rules such as making Indian film articles adapt to US money figures, those which are disencouraged. His behaviour cna be seen here [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AAnwar_saadat].

I don't know the best way to go about it. Please give me some advice. [[User:Universal Hero|Universal Hero]] ([[User talk:Universal Hero|talk]]) 11:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

== Graph of Heavy metal genealogy ==

Hi Blofeld, How are you doing these days? I created the a graph of Heavy metal genealogy, once I mentioned to you earlier. I created a [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Metal#Graph of Heavy metal genealogy|thread]] regarding this. I'd like to hear what do you think about the graph. In the end, you are the professional rocker.

Much appreciated, thanks.  In response, I bring you COMPLETE UNHOLY TERROR:
[[Image:Tom Selleck is evil.jpg|thumb|250px|OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE]]
:As I recall, the image was prompted by a request on one of my forums; someone made a joke in a thread about creating photoshops depicting Tom Selleck's moustache attacking things.  Why that was called for, I don't know.  Anyhow...this seemed like a good idea at the time.  And I have it on good authority from a friend that it made him laugh uncontrollably while he was over in Iraq.  Made the rest of the guys in his unit a little scared, actually...they had no idea what was going on. --[[User:AlbertHerring]] <sup>[[User_talk:AlbertHerring|Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla!]]</sup> 13:58, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

== Infobox Germany ==

I moved the sandbox to the template and it looks like it rendered OK on the couple of test pages that I looked at.  Let me know if there's any problems/feedback on it, especially if [[User:Stifle]] has any comments.

== Am I saying that all the other infoboxes look awful? ==

Actually yes, now that I've had a look, but since I deal here mainly in translating articles about German places, it was the German one that leapt out at me. Conformity is not necessarily a good thing, and I would hardly call it "[[Wikipedia:Be bold|being bold]]", or had you forgotten about that little precept? [[User:Kelisi|Kelisi]] ([[User talk:Kelisi|talk]]) 11:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I have already stated my objections to the new template on the template talk page. As for the conformity thing, I meant that it isn't necessarily wise to do something simply because it is done by many others. A bolder move would have been to make the other templates look less dreadful.

Also, had you thought of changing the locator pin? It could be bullseyelike, for instance – a circle with a dot in the middle – or it could be crosshairs. Those forms wouldn't hide much of the map at all. I don't know whose idea the silly round-headed pin was, anyway. There's another thing that needn't be aped because so many people use it.[[User:Kelisi|Kelisi]] ([[User talk:Kelisi|talk]]) 11:58, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

== FP idea ==

Sorry, that one doesn't have a chance. It doesn't meet the resolution requirements, the angle/lighting is not ideal, and there's tons of perspective distortion (the buildings are leaning). 

My trip was ''incredible''. I went by myself, which always can either be great or horrible. (I travel a lot by myself - I'd previously been to Thailand, Cambodia, Japan, New Zealand, and Spain alone.) I ended up meeting tons of great people and seeing I think a lot of the real Panama. I spent one afternoon with a Panamanian family in the town of [[La Pintada, Panama|La Pintada]], where a woman I think felt sorry that I was all by myself, so she showed me around the town's river and took me to see where her brother raises chickens, then to her house for lunch (soup), then around town while we waited for her nephew to get off work so he could take me to the petroglyphs, which were pretty awesome. Another two nights I ended up staying with a family of fishermen in their shanty houses along the beach in Santa Clara (no article yet...), playing bingo with them at night and hanging out with the family and their friends on the beach (and in a kiddie swimming pool!) during the day. Their little daughter loved me, and I think a lot of people were puzzled by us (the white tourist and tiny Panamanian black girl) wandering around on the beach together. Another day I went to a baseball game in Panama City, which was a lot like American baseball games but with more maracas and dancing. A woman sitting near me gave me a flag to wave, which made the game even better. One day I went hiking and saw 50 or 60 monkeys plus some [[coati]]s, butterflies, crazy big ants, lizards, frogs, etc. I stayed on an island in [[Kuna Yala]] for a few days and got to go to a [[Kuna]] puberty ceremony, which is a ginormous party for the whole village. I took [[seco]] shots out of half coconut shells offered to me ("gobe!" - "drink!" in Kuna) by elderly Kuna women who were so drunk they were falling over. I went to [[Nata, Coclé|Nata]] to see one of the oldest churches in the Western hemisphere. I also went to a provincial fair (a lot like American agricultural fairs) in [[Penonomé, Coclé|Penonomé]]. Another day in Panama City I went out to a birthday party of a Panamanian friend of a friend of a friend, then out to an afterparty in the driveway of a random neighborhood until 5:30 in the morning. Happily my Spanish worked well. When I was hanging out with upper-middle-class type people in Panama City they generally spoke English, but poor people in the countryside didn't at all. The last three days I was there I spoke exclusively Spanish! Sadly my camera was either lost or stolen so I have no photos to upload!  It's really too bad too because I think I went a lot of places that don't have any pictures.

But in any event despite the camera mishap (which really is only sad because of the pictures, because some of the time the camera refuses to turn on - time to get a new one), the trip was amazing. I love traveling! Now I need to pick out where I'd like to go next! I have a month or so off this summer between my bar exam and starting work. Maybe a week somewhere with my boyfriend, then a few weeks or a month somewhere hard to get to in a normal vacation, maybe Africa or China. So many places still to go! [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 19:39, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah the coverage is surprisingly quite awful. Even some of the most popular tourist places (like [[El Valle de Antón]]) had no articles. So far I've written El Valle, [[La Pintada, Panama]], [[Penonomé, Coclé]] (rewritten), and maybe a couple more. I have a very good guidebook so maybe I'll plug away at writing these for a while. Do you know of any good sources for census data etc for Panama? [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) 16:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

== Hey hey.. ==

How are you??? I'm fine, a bit busy. Came to Wikipedia today and was surprised to find out that the awards section was removed completely from template:infobox actor according to some discussion on [[WT:ACTOR]] (actors and filmmakers). I personally think it's a great section, because it gives a quick glance at all the awards an actor has won. But it's not the matter. The matter is that I doubt the consensus. Only 8 editors supported the removal within 7 days, when nobody else knew of the discussion. I personally didn't, and I'm sure that you, who created this wikiproject, didn't know that either.

Eggsalad! Now finally I can stop expanding articles and spend all my time on drama! Seriously though, a week of RfA and connection problems has cost me three DYKs at least. I've got two unfinished district to complete and a couple more that were more rushed than I would have liked. Thanks for your vote! of confidence.

== Stamp list of India - the plan ==

Hi there,

I intend to make a wikipage dealing with the stamps of India. It would part article and part list of lists. The generic 'Postage stamps and postal history of India' doesn't do much for the stamps in themselves. The subject 'Postal history of India' deserves an article for itself.

I feel that this could be an article on stamps of India with a good beginning of prose followed by a list of links, a list of lists. Each link would lead to a list page with a title such as 'List of stamps of the Dominion of India (1947-50)', 'List of stamps of India (1950-60)' and so on for each decade or period of history. Ditto for the EIC & British Raj period.

This would chronicle the postal issues in greater detail than the present single article. There are already lists of stamps on themes - for example List of stamps of __ country showing people.

This series of article would be of importance to school-children of India who do not have access to philatelic knowledge. Even getting a list of stamps of India is very difficult. We do not have a public library system in India so Wikipedia is more important to us than to the average westerner.

:References? Of course! Id like anyone to try that without refs! I have a couple of Indian Postal Deptt lists and a friend has the relevant Indian Stanley Gibbons of 2008.[[User:AshLin|AshLin]] ([[User talk:AshLin|talk]]) 15:27, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
::The important issues do need articles of their own. However, the subject needs to be written up around the commoner stamps which the average schoolkid will put his hands on. The image copyright of Indian stamps create image problems so that I'll probably have to crop images, deface the currency notation and apply fair-use. The stamps issued before March 1949 are no longer under copyright but that means only 8 stamps, ouch! Thanks for the thumbs up!

== [[WT:ACTOR]] ==

I was just wondering why you removed your comments from the discussion on the page and what that might mean in terms of the discussion that had occurred. Thanks. [[User:Wildhartlivie|Wildhartlivie]] ([[User talk:Wildhartlivie|talk]]) 17:48, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

== [[WT:ACTOR]] ==

I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't know what the dynamics are on other pages or the issues that go on elsewhere. I realize your comments were a little more global than just on WT:ACTOR, and I had the impression some of that was occurring with the relevant discussion on this project. Despite protests to the contrary, when I made the initial proposal, it was absolutely because I had issue with the Razzie awards and how the "other awards" section was growing by leaps and bounds across many articles as people were adding each and every minor award that an actor ever received. It was becoming a problem. I didn't propose removing the awards altogether, but when the suggestion was made, I think it did have to be considered. It's like I said, I can't go out and drag anyone connected with the project in and make them leave an opinion. I asked a couple editors who used to be a lot more active to please come and read the proposals and leave an opinion of some kind and that was ignored. It seems as if these sorts of discussions only draw those that have a strong opinion and sometimes, only seeing the result after the fact is what draws reaction. Unfortunately, the discussion after that sidetracked and deteriorated into a spurt of what I see as a pick on Wildhartlivie for doing anything spree. It was not helped by [[User:Shshshsh|Shshshsh]]'s refusal to discuss anything specific unless it was first changed back and only saying it wasn't done properly. If you hadn't noticed, the last comment I left was that perhaps the major awards being returned might be how it ended up. I understand your frustration on a wide basis, but the actor infobox had not been changed in a very long time, and the effort ''is'' trying to be made in the best interest of the project. Removing your comments confused me and seemed as if you were just saying you didn't care. I plan on bringing up what I've just said this weekend to discuss it again. [[User:Wildhartlivie|Wildhartlivie]] ([[User talk:Wildhartlivie|talk]]) 13:27, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

:Hey you e-mailed me, I didn't notice the message. Of course I do. If we're gonna all keep our opinions and express them and not sit crossing our hands, of couse it will. You, Orane, me, one more editor all think it should remain, only without these cheap Razzie awards, and the other awards field. Even Wildhartlivie told she preferred this way. If we can get that, why not? Its removal was a hasty decision as I said, which should be changed. But we have to discuss. None of the editors seems to be ignorant, and none has said the awards should not return.

::Another reason for this being readded. If the awards are added, no problem will be with that. Of course, the intention is to have it without other awards and Razzies, but there's a bot. So no problem should be whatsoever. Again, we must fight to have it back. It was a brilliant way for all readers to see what awards an actor has won without having to go through the entire article or roll it to the bottom, where it's messy, unclear. Here we see the awards categorised per functions, and the films for which they won the award. It's a great section in the infobox, because it's an actor infobox, and awards are a good way to acknoeledge actors for their work. And now take the [[Bette Davis]] article. It's not even mentioned that she won two Oscars in the lead. The infobox was a perfect way to show that without going to mention it in a POV manner in the lead. I truly believe in this section. If you do, you should say that.

== Response ==

I'm not sure I recall having said "Lots of people start projects and then leave them to others to deal with" but there certainly are some that do. It's true of [[WP:CRIME]] and [[WP:SERKILL]]. I made a comment about your involvement with the day to day things that come up with the project because it's true - you posted a question in December, the time before that was in March 2008 and the time before that was in June 2007. It's not a judgment or casting anyone in a bad light, it's simply a fact. It was said mostly in response to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dr._Blofeld&diff=281722629&oldid=281718771 this], which seemed to me to lend more weight to your opinion than anyone else's and the constant barrage of how improper the discussion and result was; and also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Shshshsh&diff=281723228&oldid=281700036 this], which implied that anyone who raises issues with how something is working apparently isn't much interested in developing content. Regardless of protests to the contrary afterwards, there were comments posted on [[WT:ACTOR]] that continued to assert I had done something wrong and it was unfairly done. It's quite impossible to garner a huge consensus when people don't pay attention to what is going on - or why. But it apparently is okay for one person to filibuster until something is reopened and to canvass for support. That wasn't a comment about you, by the way. [[User:Wildhartlivie|Wildhartlivie]] ([[User talk:Wildhartlivie|talk]]) 02:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Um, do you see a massive history of questions on the talk page? No the page has rarely been used for discussions. Most discussions surrounding film and actors take place at WP:Films. A lot people spend most of their time sitting around discussing issues and it is indeed true a lot of them are on seemingly trivial issues like infoboxes and templates.Thats not to say that everybody who contributes to the discussion isn't a good article editor but I see a lot of conversations which are seemingly not going to get us anywhere so I tend to be more involved in the actual articles themselves rather than debating them.

== Hi ==

Good to see the districts, though I don't think I'll be able to help much. My book doesn't really have anything on districts as such, just provinces and cities. In sort-of-bad and sort-of-good news, the firm that I'll be working for after graduation just pushed back my start date several months, until January 2010. I get a stipend of $25,000 that will cover living expenses and loan payments (a ''lot'' of loan payments) until then. I'm thinking I may want to travel for a few months somewhere cheap. I'm totally flexible about where, I just need ideas! You obviously like geography (though I'm not sure if you've traveled much.) Places I've already gone include Panama, Thailand, Cambodia, Panama, and Japan (and various other places too expensive for my budget this go-round), so those are out. Any thoughts??

== Saskatchewan locator map ==

It might be helpful if the '''inset map''' showing Saskatchewan's location used a darker grey to better see the other provinces and their boundaries. (See article, for example, on [[Rouleau, Saskatchewan|Rouleau, SK]]. As it stands, the USA is more darkly colored, Canada rather pale, leading the eye to the US portion of the map. Actually, I'm not sure why the US is on the map, but its color would be better used to the north. Your ideas? I'm not sure how much you modified the original author's work, so perhaps my comments are best sent there. Let me know, and thanks.

== [[:Category:Communes of Senegal]] ==
I notice that [[:Category:Communes of Senegal|this category]] you created is unpopulated (empty).  In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it.  If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted without discussion, in accordance with [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1]].  I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding <nowiki>[[Category:</nowiki>Communes of Senegal<nowiki>]]</nowiki> to pages that belong in it.

I tagged the category.  This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted.  It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy.  You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish.  However, doing so will not prevent deletion of the category if it remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{tl|db-author}}.

== Cities, towns and villages in Turkey ==

Hi! I see your proposal is to generalize that category to cover a wide range of settlements, at least within a province. It seems to be not bad. How about a type of "Category:Settlements in ... Province". See "[[human settlement|settlement]]" for a more general description. BTW, thanks for asking my opinion. Cheers.

== Hey ==

Happy? Not exactly, but the RfC was certainly not the right way to go. There were several reasons I withdrew the RfC fot. First, an RfC is a complicated way to handle this. I clearly stated, "I've closed the RfC for now. You can delete the entire section if you like if nobody opposes. I have to think about that. Both Rossrs and you have presented valid arguments on my talk page which I have to think about. I'll take my time. Maybe I'll eventually make a new voting as suggested by User:CactusWriter. As of now, it's closed. I'll take my time." That's why I asked for your opinion before.

But another reason was when I saw what Wildhartlivie said to someone, "Honestly, I'm thinking of quitting WP:ACTOR altogether. This whole thing has disheartened me completely." - it upsetted me a lot because after all we editors have felt so at some point, and I can't see someone who is such a good editor getting disheartened.

Thirdly is the lack of editorial support. You gave the case up and even encouraged editors to clean articles up, Orane is very busy, and as you see me too. I have no time to engage in long discussions as I usually do. That's why I prefer waiting. Rossrs's message to me was a kind of a light up. She showed a side I didn't think about. So as of now, I'm thinking and waiting for the right time to come.

Dear Doctor, I know about your affection for both mountains and cats. Hope Mr. Bigglesworth is doing fine (he must be getting old). I've not been adding Cat:Mountains of Austria and Cat:Mountains of Italy since I already add the categories Mountains of Tyrol and Mountains of South Tyrol, which are subcategories of the first two. I'm sure some group came up with guidelines for it, but reading discussions about rules get me depressed so I don't know what they are.

:In short, no. (I live in Northern Ireland, so I'm fully aware of its current constitutional position within the United Kingdom for Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and its geographical positioning on an island called Ireland.) You're definision of "Ireland" and what it constitutes to be "Irish" is somewhat off, to put it bluntly. [[Ireland]] is an island. It is historically referred to as a “nation”, and a “country” (eg. most Irish history books do) - something similar to the way Scotland is, or the Basque Country is, even though neither of them are legal sovereign states, they are described, for historical reasons as “countries”. Ireland promotes itself as an island internationally in terms of tourism, and represents itself in most sports as one (eg. rugby, cricket, hockey). Most sporting, cultural, and religious organisations in Ireland organise throughout the entirety of the island. Therefore the ISLAND is IRELAND – divided since 1920 (gratis a The Government of Ireland Act) between Northern Ireland (still part of the UK – but nonetheless still physically part of the island that is called Ireland) and Southern Ireland, which has changed its name several times since its own inception; The Irish Freestate, Éire, and the Republic of Ireland. To put all the above concisely ROI+NI=IRL and NI+GB=UK. Whilst yes, the government which holds jurisdiction over most of this island refers to itself (as of the 1937 constitution) as “Éire / Ireland”, that is also coming from the same constitution which declared “the national territory consists of the island of Ireland, its offshore islands and territorial waters”. In any case, Belfast is, and has been in Ireland for thousands of years, so the ascertion of the southern government that they are the “real” Irish is pointlessly self-obsessed, and blatantly false. I am Irish, I live in Ireland. I am also British, and I live in the British Isles. They are not mutually exclusive. I do not take kindly to the Southern political establishmenttrying to say that I am not (which they aren’t doing, but if they were I would) Imagine for one moment if you will a situation whereby in 2015 certain extremist Welsh nationalists sought outright independence from the UK. And they achieved that. Apart from the northeast of Wales. Wales is thus partitoned between Southern Wales, and independent sovereign state administered from Cardiff, and Northern Wales, which remains part of the United Kingdom and administered with a new regional form of government from Wrexham. Then, in 2030, the Cardiff government draws up a new constitution and it is accepted by its people, and this new constitution declares, amongst other things, that the new name of the state is “Cymru / Wales”. Let’s suggest that 90, or even 100, or 150 years pass, and Wales is still divided. Does that mean that Rhyll would no longer be Welsh? Woud people in Whexham cease to have the right to describe themselves as being Welsh? Would any form of expression of Welshness, or a Wlesh identity be prohibited? Would the A55 not be in Wales anymore? No. It would merely demonstrate the arrogance of the Southern Welsh state/the Republiuc of Wales/the Welsh Freestate. Gerry Adams (seeing as you have taken him as an example) is a Belfast politician, a County Antrim politician, an Ulster politician, a Northern Irish politician, an Irish politician, a British politician, and a European politician. As is every other politician in Northern Ireland, and indeed the same set of identities/classifications can go any other individual from Northern Ireland. Citezenship, as I think as someone residing in Wales you ''may'' agree, is another kettle of fish. (One cannot theoretically have a Welsh nationality in legal terms, which is of course total and utter nonsense). I cannot understand how one could genuinely misunderstand this. The idea that northern Ireland is NOT a part of Ireland, is very much like saying that West Germany was not German, or that East Timor is not on the island of Timor. Or indeed that South Korea is not Korean. It’s nonsensicle, illogical, and intellectually unfounded. Therefore, it is NOT incorrect to say that “There is one road in Ireland called the A7, running from Carryduff to Downpatrick”, and therefore there is no NECCESSITY to place the adjective “northern” in the title of the article – it is merely a preference. I have thus far chose to omit as it is quicker to type, and does not take away from the accuracy/factuality of the article. I’d prefer to keep my political opinions regarding the future of Northern Ireland to myself. Please browse the maps section of your nearest bookshop and pick up any map/atlas of Ireland – i guartentee you Belfast will definitely be on/in there – beyond any shaddow of a doubt! Hoping this finds you well. [[User:D.de.loinsigh|D.de.loinsigh]] ([[User talk:D.de.loinsigh|talk]]) 10:56, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Um I didn't say Northern Ireland was not a part of "Ireland" as the island. What I'm saying is that however much they may be as one, politically they are not recognised as such. When it comes to geographical locations we attatch the political names to them all over the world. If for some reason Northern Wales became independent then yes you would call it Northern Wales. Its the same with South Ossetia now having categories and labels to indicate that this is now not Georgia, politically anyway. Its the same with West and East Germany. Yes both were part of Germany as such but between 1945 and 1989 on wikipedia is it asserted that it was West germany and East Germany. Thats why we have tons of categories on atheltes and sports people etc during this period which have the specific political categories evwne though they arre all "German". Are you disputing the fact that The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are politically not one internationally recognised political body? Its the same with [[Hispaniola]]. Shall we name all the categories as "Hispaniolan" and start calling it Hispaniola, e.g [[Port au Prince]] is a city on Hispaniola? to unite the two countries Haiti and DOminican Republic on this island? I'm not disputing that Northern Ireland people are "Irish" people in culture and geographically and I have always believed the whole island should be as one but we have to recognise what these places are under political territory as this is the formal way to do it. FOr instance we don't say [[Snow Patrol]] is from "Ireland" we say they are from "Northern Ireland". [[James Nesbitt]] is categorised as a "Northern Irish" actor rather than an "Irish actor". Its because this is politically correct. Wikipedia is not the way to promote Northern Ireland part of the Republic of Ireland.

Just stopping by to say hi, how are you doing?  Have you enjoyed Daniel Craig as Bond??  I have completed acquiring 23 sources with which to write [[Frasier]]'s critical reception section.  Took some time, and will take a little time to distil - I hope it will be worth the wait! [[User:Fritzpoll|Fritzpoll]] ([[User talk:Fritzpoll|talk]]) 15:00, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Have a nice break? Glad to hear you are making progress with Frasier! Nope I don't think much of Craig as Bond, I mean he has Fleming's character as a cold hard bastard nailed and everything he just doesn't have the suaveness and elegance of Bond as we know him. Too ugly, short, like a boxer and humourless. The best Bond (e.g Sean Connery) was brutal and forceful but he had a good balance with other qualities like humor and good looks. Part of the thing about playing Bond is that they have to have the overblown ego and mess about flirting with women, ordering unusual drinks, making cheesy quips and having that air of superiority whenever they walk into a room.  Craig seems to think he is Bourne and plays the character as just a hard thug with no passion. Casino Royale was good but Quantum of Solace was a pathetic excuse for a Bond film it really was. Gone is the suave sophisticated British icon, in with the Bourne clone. Craig and any one of the zillion action scenes was probably the best part of that film actually, the plot and the villain was atrocious even though the locations mostly good. Craig is a great actor I just don't like him as Bond. The best Bond film since 1985 is The Living Daylights, followed by Goldeneye. A good Bond film is supposed to have "the ingredients" but Craig's films are purely based around just action and locations rather than the "balance".This review in the Sunday Times sums up my own view on the film perfectly:"Marc Forster has brought the brand’s successful relaunch crashing back to earth — with a yawn"; the screenplay "is at times incomprehensible" and the casting "is a mess." The review concludes that "Bond has been stripped of his iconic status. He no longer represents anything particularly British, or even modern. In place of glamour, we get a spurious grit; instead of style, we get product placement; in place of fantasy, we get a redundant and silly realism."

:I can't help but agree with [[Maddox]]'s impression of Quantum of Solace - it was based on a true story, but made less interesting!  I enjoyed Casino Royale, but that may have been because it took Bond back towards the main character and was a severe (and welcome) deviation from Brosnan's efforts.  Overall, I'm going to give him one more shot before making a judgement!  Break was pretty good - but now back at the PhD trying to create robotic minions for a certain evil genius with a white cat.... [[User:Fritzpoll|Fritzpoll]] ([[User talk:Fritzpoll|talk]]) 15:41, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes I thought Casino Royale was good too, better than most of Brosnan's films from 1997-2002. That seemed to have more of a balance and a great plot. In Quantum it was all about action and grit and a bad idea making continuous references to the previous film. These films are supposed to be timeless and fantasy not realism. If you compare Dominic Greene, a little weasel to my sinister character with overly elaborate quarters he wouldn't last two seconds standing outside on the magma hole waiting to enter the volcano LOL. He'd be blown away by rocket guns or be dragged into a magma pool. If he at least got as far as the volcano elevator naturally within moment he would be down the shoot into the piranha tank and devoured.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 15:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

==Proposed deletion of List of Indonesian films==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]
A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[List of Indonesian films]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
:<b>This list is serving the never touched or improved red link list fetish of Indonesian project - large amounts of red links never linked, and whole decades untouched - the project and the list would be better served by smaller lists in specific decades - and where there are no 'live' articles for a decade - the sub list remains unstarted until such time as a valid live article starts - it is too large long and untouched to remain a valid list</b>

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]).  You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the <code>{{tl|dated prod}}</code> notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:List of Indonesian films|its talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.<!-- Template:PRODWarning --> [[User:SatuSuro|Satu]][[User talk:SatuSuro|Suro]] 01:22, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

I must say it was a grweat idea at the time - but the Indonesian project is cursed by red link list creators - and this one remains a monolith of little help to anyone as the decades remain empty or the red links stare out over time - I would suggest a much shorter pruned variety cut up into decades where valid real live articles can be linked.

Something gives me the impression you regard me as some sort of nuisance or hinderance rather than a help.

== Indian villages ==

Hey Dr. Blofeld,
 
As you prob know, with the elections in India there have been dozens of articles on tribal villages. Now, I have access to most of them on [[PressDisplay]], but can't do much in the way of writing -- can't navigate the census info, and it takes forever to load PDFs on my EeePC. Could you tell me who to ask to create stubs? Ottre 17:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
:For instance, just saw in a front-page article from The Hindu that [[Killomkota]] is an isolated, interior area controlled by the Maoists. Two main settlements are the villages of Killomkota and [[Kodimamidi]], 10km apart, and both around 150km from [[Visakhapatnam]]. Ottre 18:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Ask [[User:Tinucherian]]. He knows more about Indian villages than myself.

:Well, obviously the stubs aren't very useful to readers --at least not at the village level -- without some rudimentary location data. From what I've seen, thanks in large part to editors such as yourself there are more and more people getting involved with the project now who are willing to help find geocoords.

::On bias especially, I agree with you; there's a lot that needs to be combatted before the project will meet its full potential.  The dearth of coverage in certain areas is baffling.

::By the same token, I ''do'' see the ways in which ''this'' Wikipedia is influencing others.  I keep an eye on some of my older articles, and I've noticed a handful have begun to be translated into other languages:

::*[[Rosalind Ellicott]]
::*''[[Hodie]]''

My request was for venturing into reading what you don't know or articles which you didn't know existed, kind of like browsing through an A-Z encyclopedia in alpha order aonto the next article rather than searching for an article or subject you know of. It isn't essential but thought as a quick browsing option in preferences not unreasonable.

I so look forward to the time when you stop taking everything so personal. I saw you quoting [[wp:civil]], please, please actually read it instead of just blaming other editors for breaching it. Regarding this image, it is a copyright violation, plain and simple. The person at flickr simply made a drawing of a copyrighted image, it is really unlikely he holds the copyright to that image. That drawing is a [[derivative work]] but that does not stop the original copyright on that image. It could be argued that only the drawing would be allowed (it's not) but you edited the image he made to just end up with the original copyrighted image. I am not saying you acted in bad faith, but it still was incorrect. Also, I am not an admin on Commons so I can't have deleted the image. That was done by [[Commons:User:Infrogmation]]. He, indeed, knows this for being a "so called" admin. [[User:Garion96|Garion96]] [[User talk:Garion96|(talk)]] 09:40, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Quoting WP:Civil? Thats a joke coming from you. If the left top is copyrighted and the drawing isn't it is still a copyrighted image then. I do take it personally as I've lost count of how many times I've seen you stalk people's talk pages or project talk pages and then coincidentally turn up and comment and vote "delete" or take "action". Just when Shahid had said what an excellent and beautiful image, suddenly it is nominated by you for deletion. More than a mere cooincidence given that the image has been on here for six months. If you were really deeply concerned about copyright you would have deleted/nominated the other at the same time. Where is your proof that the top left is copyrighted? It may very well be but find me the original and then I may be more understanding with you. If you happened to genuinely come across it and suddenly decided to nominate it in the commons when doing cleanup with awards then I apologise but it just seems an extreme co-incidence your impeccable timing.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 09:47, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
:Please show me where I have been uncivil. I could show you being uncivil to me quite easily though. And no, I don't stalk your page or anyone else's. The current number of user talk pages I have on my watchlist is one, my own. You with 100.000 edits (congratulations btw) are bound to edit articles I also am interested in. I don't need to have your page on my watchlist to encounter edits you make. How I encountered this image was simply because I have the Rekha article for some reason on my watchlist. I never noticed the original image there I just saw someone adding the other image. From that I went to commons and requested deletion. Truth to be told, I didn't even realised you were the uploader. With the commons deletion request script that is not so noticeable anymore. Not that you will believe that of course. Regarding the original image, like I said I never noticed it was uploaded on Commons but that too should probably be deleted. I asked the deleting admin on commons about it.

I had no idea you were interested in Indian cinema sorry. The image of Rekha has been there over six months, I was surprised you hadn't deleted it before if its on your watchlist. I quoted Wp:Civil not for you, for myself because when anybody ever shows any completely normal human frustration you brand that at them so I wanted to clear that up. Sometimes you can be good to talk too and we can have a rational discussion but there are times on here when I think "this guy is the biggest ..." If you think the same about me at times too, good.

You can certainly be at times, I'm not kidding. You can be extremely frustrating to deal with at times. I'm not the only one who thinks this. There a group of editors on here who seem to function like policemen and brandish policies and a considerable amount of time don't focus on what is really important on here. You happen to fall into their category. Takes all enjoyment out of wikipedia. Why else would you delete an image just hours after somebody expressed their gratitude and how much they loved the image? You have never once edited the Rekha page, unusual for somebody who actively has it on their watchlist. "Blof thank you so much for uploading the image of Rekha. I mean, it's extraordinary. She's so beautiful in it. You know very often do I feel images don't really represent what a person is known for. This one is an image that reflects what she really is, with her intense style, and this very well known sharp gaze, and the traditional outfit. I just didn't tell you how happy I am with this image." says Shahid. Within just hours the image is then placed as a deletion. Very very strnage cooincidence given that the image has existed on that page for six months under your watchful eye.

A copyrighted image is a copyrighted image yes. You still didn't explain the circumstances of how after having this page on your watchlist for all this time, the image has been there over 6 months how you suddenly decided to nominate it now and not then. You've proved my point exactly about talk page stalking as you were sad enough to rummage in the history of Shahid's tak page to find me being "uncivil" and then cite this. Such an editor clearly has a preoccupation with stalking talk pages whether user or project related and policing about in edit histories which is exactly how you came to nominate this image for deletion.

What I'm saying is that you clearly regularly check users edits and page histories, activities which are not really constructive to improving wikipedia. WHy waste your time checking Shahid's talk page when you could be constructively spending your time on here. Your operations reflect deletionism on here across the encyclopedia and I've never seen one example or where an edit has been a progression. It is always removing, removing, removing with you. I'll do a you now and look at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Garion96 your contributions]. What percentage would you say contain a negative word like "revert, remove, reverse, rm flag, copyright". Thats my point Garion. I don't doubt that some of them are valid and needed edits but it seems you are happy deleting things. Thats why we directly clash at times is because I'm mostly contructive in my outlook, you see things from a deletionist persepctive.

::But you were right about the chatterbox. And I don't like her voice. I like actors who try to improve. As you know Kya Kehna was Preity Zinta's first film, and even though she acted well for a newcomer, even very well, I did not like her voice in the film. And since then she has improved her voice tremendously. And I like her typical screams and minor hoarseness in her voice. In her first film to get released, Dil Se, she was just fantastic. So natural. She was the relief of this serious and dark film about terror and impossible love, though the part was small. I saw this after I already had been almost a fan and was surprised. Many critics have noted that what made her a completely different actress is this zest she adds into any of her diverse characters, her bubbliness, love for life and optimism, even in the most serious and tragic roles and the most most dramatic scenes. Films look different only because she's in them. That's what makes a complete actor. I like all her films with the exception of some five-six.

==Speedy deletion of [[:Agriculture in Saudi Arabia]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Agriculture in Saudi Arabia]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be a blatant [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. 

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Agriculture in Saudi Arabia|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Agriculture in Saudi Arabia|the talk page]]''' explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for ''speedy'' deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> Thanks, [[user:mynameinc|my]][[user talk:mynameinc|name]][[special:contributions/mynameinc|inc]] 20:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

== Trombidium ==

hi blofeld,

i just found out that you created stubs for all ''[[Trombidium]]'' species. these contain absolutely no information that don't also occur on the ''Trombidium'' page, even less (no describer, no distribution). a while ago, i was scolded when mass producing pages that are even a bit more informative, so i wanted to be sure that you're aware of current policy regarding this. my own opinion is that these pages are at the moment useless at least: people will think there's more information ahead, but there's none. there isn't even a full stop at the end of the only sentence. so if you think it's a good idea to keep these pages, it would be nice if you brought them at least to the minimal standard (describer, distribution) and add a <nowiki>{{ArthropodTalk|Stub|Low}}</nowiki> to their Talk pages. it's quite unlikely that there will ever be more information on most of these species. if every species of a genus links to a skeleton page, it's very hard to see where real information can be found (in this case, all the "dead" blue links hide the ''[[Trombidium holosericeum]]'' page, which otherwise would easily pop out between the red links). just to give you the right idea, i once created [[List_of_Salticidae_genera|550 stubs of jumping spider genera]], but these i am fleshing out for the last few years. i know how frustrating it is to have lots of hard work reverted, so just want to make sure our energy is spent in the most productive way possible :) if you want to contribute to the taxo pages in the future, and have questions about how best to proceed, i'd be glad to help you if you have any questions. cheers! --[[User:Sarefo|Sarefo]] ([[User talk:Sarefo|talk]]) 09:40, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not interested in contributing to this field myself. I came across this on new page patrol and thought it might help the creator if he is working on them to expand them. The idea is not so they are initially more helpful, it is to branch out and encourage thos einterested to write them, as clearly shown by ''[[Trombidium holosericeum]]''. But if you don't want articles on species started or any for that matter, then don't leave them as red links.[[User:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="border:1px solid blue;padding:1px;"> <span style="color:#fef;background:black;">'''''Dr. Blofeld'''''</span></span>]]     <sup>[[User talk:Dr. Blofeld| <span style="font-size:x-small; color:black;">White cat</span> ]]</sup> 10:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Good question, but I don't have as much time to dedicate myself completely to an article.

I also get a bit frustrated that there are so many articles that need to be worked on. Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar, Raj Kapoor, Meena Kumari, Nargis. Most of them are either brief or don't make justice to the person.

Of the current lot, I thought of working on such articles as Manisha Koirala, but it's not easy to spot her early career well. Rekha is a dream article which I'd like to expand but it's too much, she has quite a career and net sources would never suffice.

I thought recently to start working on my current favourite actress, [[Konkona Sen Sharma]]. I've already expanded the lead.

Although you helped me to write the Heroes part which is quite good thanks to you, I need to update reception, but she was so well-received for this role, that I start being paranoid and don't know how to write it so as not to make it look too POV. As for Heaven On Earth, as you know she was nominated for a Genie, it's her first role in a non-Indian film, and so many critics in both India and Canada and abroad have been all praise for her with many saying it's her best ever performance that I don't know how to handle it. She was very emotional during shooting (cause she played a battered wife and started feeling homesick in Canada), she made a research for the role, she learned Punjabi, a language completely alien to her (the entire film is in Punjabi). That's all so relevant, and I get scared of only thinking of it as a potential paragraph to write. 
:::She also adapted 34 children on her 34th birthday (I can't believe it can you?) which is quite a big deal. 
:::I thought of splitting the "Success" section into two because "The Last Lear" marked the beginning of a new phase in her career - she started working in non--commercial independent art films, so it needs to be collected in a new section. Will you be there with your advices and language suggestions when I start working on this update in a few days?

::::I can't believe you think that about me. Kidding or not, I never said and never implied. I'm not such a hypocrite. I don't have to imply or take the whole credit or say something to make a point, because I'm a very honest person. I just mentioned the article as Wildi mentioned articles she's worked on. And there's nothing wrong even if I said that, because if I have to be perfectly frank, I was the one who added ''all'' the information that you see now on the article, I've always protected it from anything that could be wrong and/or inapporpriate, observed every little detail, made long analises and long sections on the talk page, added sources, and escorted it in every aspect in both good and bad times. And it's very close to my heart, something that I'm sure none of you guys feels as strongly about. Just like Kareena to Rahul. So yes, I've been the main editor, feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong. Both you great Blofeld and the amazing Dwai and the extraordinary John Carter have helped me in different stages of the article in terms of (amazing) writing and copyediting, (unconditional) support, suggestions etc., for which I've always been grateful and ''open'' and will always be. I've always mentioned it, whether on the FAC, on my own userpage or every other platform. I was very happy when I saw you adding your and Dwai's names into the wikiproject table, because you were an integral part of this article's promotion. 
::::And I definitely can handle it alone. The fact that I come to you should only prove how I recognise your help and talent. I like discussing such things, I like reviewing different opinions, styles and ways of presentation. And not once did I ask for John's opinions as well. I wouldn't come to you for help if I didn't think you are familiar enough with the article, or an amazingly gifted writer, or a great friend, or someone whose opinion matters to me the most for many reasons.

:::::Well... [[User:Shshshsh|<span style="color:blue">'''''Shahid'''''</span>]] • <sup>''[[User talk:Shshshsh|<span style="color:teal">Talk</span><span style="color:black">'''2'''</span><span style="color:teal">me</span>]]''</sup> 21:06, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Well again I didn't say you were not part of this article's history. If you didn't want to help me out you should have said openly. I never asked you to come and copyedit. As I said, I was turning to you because I trusted your intelligent view and because "I like discussing such things, I like reviewing different opinions, styles and ways of presentation." I was always showing you my drafts and asking what your opinion is. Your name has always been credited as one of the article's main editors. And I said that I thought you're "an amazingly gifted writer, or a great friend, or someone whose opinion matters to me the most for many reasons." 
::::::Your behaviour is disappointing. I'm happy we had this discussion though. Have a nice day.
