Well, if the original editor had included the bit that you thoughtfully did—"widely known simply as 'Giles'"—I wouldn't have reverted in the first place :-). You might also consider doing what I did for the other Giles and create a redirect at Giles (cartoonist) to use for the entry on the dab page. Best--ShelfSkewed Talk 23:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Each of the links is to a list on Wikipedia. I used pipes to avoid unnecessarily repeating "List of fictional" 285 times. This list does not attempt to cover all fictional topics, just the lists of such which are on Wikipedia. It is based on Lists of mathematics topics. Meet me at talk:Lists of fictional topics to discuss it. The Transhumanist 21:07, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hard to provide references for any of them, so you can just delete them anyway you want, but here's what I know: 1) I distinctly remember reading it somewhere in a leading Chinese entertainment magazine back in 1997, but it's 10 years ago... 2) No idea who wrote that. It was left over from someone who edited before me. 3) This one is hard. I'm pretty sure that IS what happened, but it's difficult to prove, since IFPI HK doesn't provide those numbers. It wasn't selling as expected in HK due to the financial crisis (even less than Faye Not for Sale; again, definitely read it in some magazines, but no hard evidence today), but it reportedly sold over 500,000 in Taiwan (there might be evidence for this; from my conversations with Taiwanese editors I believe it was true). As for her popularity on the mainland, it's just something I know cos I grew up there. EMI did a hell of a better campaign than Cinepoly for her in China, and with Faye Wong 97 it was the first time highschool students, who are nearly 30 today, and 20-somethings across the country ever heard of her. It makes sense, cos merely one year later, she swept over the nation with Chang You like no singer had ever done before (excluding Teresa Teng perhaps).
Anyway it's tough finding evidence to support 1 and 3, but anyway all of them should be deleted for lack of evidence.--wooddoo Eppur si muove 16:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Davewong.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
((di-replaceable fair use disputed))
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Dear Fayenatic London,
You've changed on July 15 the template Profeten uit de Tenach (in English Prophets of the Tanakh) on the Dutch version of Wikipedia. Now, the category Profeet uit de Hebreeuwse Bijbel is shown in the left upper corner. But I don't see the necessity of this change. Can you please explain why you think it's better to show this?
Thanks, Sven Rogge
I noticed you de-prod'd one of the Star Trek novels. I was actually going to try and find time to go through the lot and prod or AFD all of those that do not meet WP:FICTION... however if you're familiar enough with the content and willing to take the time, I think it would be a better idea to merge all of them into the one article, per your suggestion. I still believe the series, on a whole, needs to meet WP:N guidelines, but one article is much more tolerable than 2899873289289 stubs of non-notable fiction. Good idea! /Blaxthos 19:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi,
Exactly one of the items on the list was properly sourced with a reliable secondary source.
Ideally, if one watches a movie, and sees an allusion to the work in question, that experience should not be included in the encyclopedia: that constitutes a form of original research, albeit a loose form that Wikipedia frequently allows through inaction. Ideally, articles should composed of references to the work noted by secondary sources, like scholars, newspapers, magazines, or even an established website. Best wishes, Xoloz 20:54, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Say an editor sees an allusion to the three monkeys in an episode of Seinfeld that lasts for 2 seconds, and is forgotten by all but the most avid fan of the series. That editor notices it, and adds it to the article. I ask him, "Sure this allusion exists, but why is it significant?" Other than using the obviously inadequate, "Because I say so...", the editor could try this line of thought, "Seinfeld is significant; Three Monkeys are significant; so, Three Monkeys in Seinfeld is significant!" That claim fails in this way: it is an analytic claim, and editor's analysis is OR. Its failure is even more obvious is one substitutes any random significant thing into the logical premise. "Seinfeld is significant; ice cream is significant; so,..." I hope you understand that not every thing that has ever appeared on television for 2 seconds is significant -- I'm sure some character ate ice cream during the run of that show, but there is no proof of the significance of that conjunction. To prove that ice cream (or the Three Monkeys) has a significant conjunction with another item of popular culture, one needs reliable sources. Best wishes, Xoloz 12:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks you for once agains deleting my material; as you know, in trying to balance your unbalanced articles which vary between Sunni and Shia official viewpoints I have tried to introduce another viewpoint based on two very good sources: the Qur'an and the Bible; along others like Malcolm Godwin and the rest: yet my srticles are called oringinal research. Very well; let us examine this in light of your definition: if 2,000 years ago someone said "watch out for a red ballon that will appear in 2,000 years: it's bad news" is it then my POV if I see a red baloon and then add the possibility that perhaps this is what was meant? That is not "original research"; it is a way of discussing prophecy by pointing out it's fulfillment ACCORDING TO THE FACTS: and this is what is difficult for the editors and so on: explaining things in light of actual occurence is not research: it is observation; and impartial because detached; in light of Fatimha and our friend who fits the profile of both Muhammed and St. Paul as possibly being the Antichrist as Osama bin Laden: you may disagree with what i say; but to call it "original research" is actually to deny the truth of the observation: if I point out that Osama fits certain criteria and is operating as the de facto "antichrist" is this not in fact something of which you therefore know nothing: but to delete it as original research you would have to prove in your POV that Osama bin Laden is not the Antichrist; the Islamic ad-Dajjal. If Osama bin Laden is the ad-Dajjal and I put all the factors in which he has fulfilled prophecies from both Muhammed and St. Paul is this then original research or perhaps an attempt to balance you articles with the possibilities open to us in obvious light of the evidence?? It is what you ask those who do know of these things to add to the articles in question; yet I am trying to help you do just that!!
I agree that I may seem to be putting up things which are not commonly known: but the operative word is "yet"; they are becoming known: you and I are discussing them. As the founder of the New Unification Church I wonder how you have the authority to delete the position of my church which I put next to the official position of the Catholic Church? If the writers put that the Catholics believe that Fatima is the Virgin mary and i put that in my church doctrine it is the Virgin Mary: Maryam al-Kubra: the greater Mary of Islam: for which "Fatimah"in PORTUGAL WAS NAMED: and that is WHY Mary appeared there: as a Sign: is my doctrine of my church somehow not allowed? Surely my church must be given the same place to put into words our official belief as well? And if not: why not? As you all may know; I am a Sufi: is then my doctrine not allowed next to that of the Sunni and Shia of which my system of belief illustrates their unity along with christianity and Judaism? Apparently not; but if not: why not?
I would love to hear any and all advice on how to expand the very real database of knowledge Wikipedia is bringing to the world: but at least let things like prophecy and subject matter like the Bible and Qur'an have their actual content be the context for exploring possibilities that may comprise an objective rendering of the truth: and I can quote from a dozen articles which must express things in much the same way I have done with the same sources: but mine is deleted while theirs remains: as opinionated, subjective and often recopying fable; myth and legend: with no editiing at all. Things like the "Christian View of Muhammed" are full of totally unverified research: but it stands because it was copied out of a book: and was false then; and is still false now.
Prophecy is a science; one of the few that is known to both angels and men; yet if I write that the bible was written with the help of angels is this original research or does the Bible in fact state this: and can it then be "restated" with the conclusions drawn that perhaps angels are concerned with the future of man: or is that too great of an extrapolation: too "true" to be written down as a very real possibility in explaining things like "prophecy" or the "Last Judgement"?? Or does Wikipedia insist that some things cannot be explained no matter waht source you quote? What Malcolm Godwin wrote about the Grail I have quoted: but it was deleted along with the reference: because they said my article lacked references: but they were there: they just never read my article at all: very sad.
Let us hope that we can bring some much needed "balance" to Wikipedia: even though you allow no balanced examinations of fact based on the same sources and sayings and hadith everyone else is using: but I am not allowed to do so!! How strange!! Unicorn144 00:28, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate the assistance in transferring the lists; both are things that I work on in my spare time, which I don't have as much of lately. I agree with your note above on lists. I've noticed that a lot of people toss off phrases like "indiscriminate information", "original research", "unmaintanable" and "WP:LIST" routinely without a moment's thought. I'd never taken the time to read those -- anyone who uses words like "listcruft" is presumed by me to be a geek until proven otherwise -- but one of the editors invited me to comment on suggestions for WP:LIST and, I'm happy to say, tricked me into reading what these terms really mean.

Yeah, that sounds like a better idea. What idea I had, was to take the list of Trek characters, and break the articles apart. Create the list you mentioned for Enterprise, TNG, Deep Space 9, Voyager, and TOS. Then from that list you would select the series. Then you would select major/recurring/minor, etc. This would be easier to navigate then one (or really 4) huge articles with every trek character ever. For the movies, I would propose 1-6 go with TOS and 7-10 go with TNG. I will help with the articles if you like, as it's a big project and will likely take some time, but we can make this look a lot better. We can leave the other articles as redirects, but undoubtedly we'd have to change some links from other articles. Sounds like a good idea, what do you think?

Your name isn't anywhere near as obvious a potential cause of concern as mine was. I don't think that there would likely be any real chance of your being opposed on that basis by more than a few editors, at most, and I sincerely doubt that would change the outcome of an RfA. Having said that, if you thought the name could be changed to your benefit, I don't see any reason not to do so. I might advise against using your real name, because that might potentially cause problems for you somewhere down the line. User:Hiding seems to have found that out a while ago.

You did a great job on Greg London's page. I have been practicing some, but, I'm still pretty usless. Greg has some great journalism on his Reno Nevada show and I sure wish I could a link up to it. It is verifiable. His PR folks have put up a page at: http://www.thegregshow.tv/harrhsreviews.html if you feel like having a look. He is a really good guy, says God Bless You to his audiences every show without seeming politically incorrect in a Casino Theatre. Yeah!!!
If you have interest let us know on his page.

Hi Fayenatic:
OK sounds good.
More facts for you to know about in case it can be used.
It is also a US factoid that impressionists are the classic Casino Showroom genre. Even Sammy Davis Jr performed impressions as well sang and danced and delivered jokes on the very stage where Greg London is now. It is those similarities that brought Harrah's Entertainment to him in the first place.
I also notice on the WestEnd page a long listing at the bottom of artists who performed in the West End in 2007, would it be possible to list his name there?
A WestEnd Theatreland factoid is that The Venue is the newest Theatre in the West End. It is old of course, but not nearly as old as the other theatres.
I have been looking into a lot of other Wikipedia pages and many are not as good as the pages you edit. Thank you for finding Greg London's page.

Hi Fayenatic london:
That is just perfect. I hope I did OK on the impressionists page.
I forgot that Greg was awarded, Entertainer of the Year for Through The Years. I need to finish uploading his CV to imdb he has a ton of theatre and show work credit and it is just too big a job for this week. Thanks for finding it.
He is not Greg Franks. He actually is Greg London, but, went by Franks due to his mother having married Franks, but they divorced 40 years ago. This is not for wikipedia.

Fayenatic wrote: Well, I won't force the issue if you have reasons to avoid it, but the only way to source some of the statements already in the article would be to acknowledge the alias. I stopped looking after I found Pebble Beach, Calif., Singer a Hit on the Corporate Circuit (1998 - Chrysler etc) and Entertainer of the Year 2001. I'd still suggest that these could be recorded on the article talk page with a note that the artist no longer wishes to be known by this name. That name does have plenty of Google hits as an entertainer, and all the pages I looked at were positive. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:29, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Brilliant idea. Sourcing the fact that the designations, as the #1 Entertainer on the Corporate Circuit, "singer a hit on Coporate circuit" and Entertainer of the year 2001 I guess it would not hurt to throw in Entertainer of the Year 2000 for Through The Years while we are it, are not statements generated by us but the industry at large are really important facts because performers on the Corporate circuit print that on their materials with no substantiation because there is no press in the Corporate entertainment circuit to challenge it. Greg's designations are real from the top brass of the top companies. Greg joined the circuit because Jack Welch at GE personally recruited him out of an upscale bar in Pebble Beach called Club 19 when he was not even 20. Greg got the gig at the bar because a Pebble Beach manager, Sandra Kasky the current Director of The Concours d'elegance in Pebble Beach, saw him performing with his rock band at a Festival she visited while dating her husband, it is all quite serendipitous. Jack Welch had a vision to turn GE into the most valuable company in the world and utilized innovative management strategies including discovering a Rock singer "hey kid want to come sing for my top sales guys in Bermuda in October" to motivate, inspire and free his sales force from limitations.
Through The Years is a polished tighly woven scripted compilation rock musical that leaves windows of opportunity to insert specific Corporate content for each indivual convention. A brilliantly constructed vehicle to deliver the best high energy entertainment with a purpose of it's time and Greg delivered it to literrally thousands of corporate groups via word of mouth advertising. Publically traded companies need to stand up to tremendous scrutiny so until now we have never discussed in such detail the magic of what Greg performed for them and technically was such a good value for the stock holder's money they spent that looking back on the role this vehicle played in just Jack Welch's vision for GE, this exepnditure should hold up to that scrutiny, hind sight is always 20/20.
Greg is a genious entertainer and instinctively comprehends the "where" inside people the "connecting" occurs and the "how" you get there fueled with the "intention" as set forth by the visionary, for this sentence we will use Chrysler's Bob Lutz as example.
Thanks for forcing the issue, this developed really nicely. Nice work, great thinking. Monika
Fayenatic london:
I found a really important false Wikipedia listing that relates to Greg London.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronation_Street Theme music
The show's theme music, a solo cornet piece, with clarinet and double bass accompaniment, reminiscent of northern band music, was written by Eric Spear and has been only slightly modified since its debut.[82]
Untruthful listing here: David Browning played the trumpet on the original recording of the theme, and was given the choice of either a royalty payment for each time the theme was aired, or a one-off payment at the time of recording. He opted for the one-off payment, and although he would have received more money in the long run with the royalty payment approach this is something he has been able to laugh about in more recent years."The theme music was also performed on television by the TV entertainer Roy Castle.
Truth here: The real trumpet player of the Coronation Street signature tune is Ronnie Hunt, the godfather of Greg London who is also an afficiando trumpet player. Ronnie Hunt, who resides in England and almost 90, has the royalty payments to prove it and a source from yahoo search below.
http://www.jazzprofessional.com/Main/welcome.html http://www.jazzprofessional.com/interviews/Stan%20Roderick_3.htm
"A trumpet player we saw in the studios from time to time was a man named Ronnie Hunt. Stan Roderick sent Ronnie to deputise for him on a session one day, which turned out to be the recording of the signature tune for Coronation Street. No one knew, of course, that the show was going to be such a hit. If Stan had played the theme he would have done so beautifully. Ronnie made another kind of job of it which you can still hear today, forty years later, and, of course, it fits the show perfectly. Coronation Street wouldn't be the same without Ron's trembling trumpet solo. I believe that an attempt was made in later years to re-record that solo, using Stan Roderick, but it sounded too good, and they reverted to the old one."

I would prefer not to delete the David Browning listing and I'm interested in locating the source who posted that listing. But, I do not want to lose the record of this important incident in it's original state of discovery. Things on our end need to be taken care of. This is incredible!!!

Hi Fayenatic:
Here is a little online discussion. I guess Dave has been a busy guy doing interviews and such concerning his performance.

Why, thank you, Fayenatic. I appreciate that. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:01, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
On your comment “If upmerge is decided, double upmerge including sate category” was added to discussion on the discussion page for several defunct museums cats. What does double upmerge including state category mean? I am unclear what you are recommending. Thanks for your patience. FieldMarine (talk) 13:28, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for retaining the 'Ratnagarbha' article with your expert editing inputs. I had done a lot of reading and referencing work to prepare the article and was quite disappointed when it was to be deleted with the reasoning psuedeo science. I could not reply immediately as was away on a long tour of the Himalayas (of course, not in search of Ratnagarbhas) but for locating suitable sites for Hydropower development in a river basin.
As we are all aware, this psueduo science has a very vast ancient historical literature support and is almost universally followed. I am glad that the article is now being retained. Any additions and valid corrections are welcome. Pl let me know if any more supporting references are required to strengthen the article.--Nvvchar (talk) 17:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
For passing me in edit count! I knew you would do it someday. Also, thanks for updating my editing history. Remember (talk) 19:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for backing me up on the Talk:Christian page. It can get kind of annoying out there when you're following the rules and someone else isn't, so a little "You're right Joe" relieves a bit of fury. :P
I see you are one of the big Wikipedia editors. Nice. xD
Thanks again. I appreciate it. :)
Oh, and I know you probably get a lot of these, but I want to give it to you anyway.

Hey there. I am active on wikipedia, just solely on the viewing side, not on the editting side :) I mostly only edit to fix typos, revert vandal, and on occasion, to remove people who stepped across the line by tagging 176 articles, which i had referred to quite a bit on the course of viewing the whole series, as being unnotable and could be deleted in a week.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any precedent in this area. Also, I don't necessarily think that episodes should have their own articles, I was just stopping what I saw as a blatant disregard for due process. There should be a discussion before someone tags an entire series as non-notable.
Personally, I think that every notable TV series should have a page for each season, and these pages should have a table with a brief summary of each episode, boxes for directors and guest stars, and a link to fan pages/fan wikis (if they exist). maybe a screenshot. I would do that for DS9, but it would consume more time than I'm willing to devote.
Anyway, best of luck with whichever TV series you are trying to protect, sorry i couldnt point you in the direction of a precedent! SECProto (talk) 01:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi, if you have time, please comment on my suggestion at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2008 February 3#Category:Categories by year, which is still open. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
"But the category of fictional girls, once it was populated with all articles about fictional girls, would be so huge that it would not be very useful. You haven't started adding Video game characters or Anime and manga characters yet... - Fayenatic (talk) 09:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)"
In regards to that: I've removed per WP:BEANS, no offense intended. Secondly, it's impossible to remove edit summaries completely, but they can be admin-hidden or oversighted, but that would sort of be a waste of time to be honest for an admin to do it, and I don't the oversight policy covers that. Maxim(talk) 15:42, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I think this is a case where an article could be written but has not been. Give me a week or so to see if I can fill it in quickly. Sure, the novel centers around him, but there is specific discussion available for him as a character. If I cannot fix it up, I'll prod it again myself. DGG (talk) 23:25, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess it is most probably K. A. P. Viswantham Pillai.

Thanks for the info, I never realised about that extra bit of code. I'll check out those other articles that I've merged, I did quite a few when I saw another editor tag just about every other Trek character for notability etc Alastairward (talk) 14:28, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
