Hi Andrew! I just checked out your Journeyman Project article - nice job! I did a bit of proofreading and fixed one typo. Well, we're both Wikipedians now, and nothing can stop us!! --Michael Robson 20:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thought I should give you a wiki greeting, but haven't gotten around to it until now (it was pretty low on my list of priorities). Oh, and one more thing: YOU DRIVE ME NUTS!!!! Pharaoh Hound 22:51, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
What did the Paramount logo look like on Star Trek: Generations? Did it have the Paramount Communications byline or the Viacom byline? Gabrielkat 20:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi Green451, Go right ahead and edit them. It is a wiki after all. I've been a bit caught up in the real world (internship, and also research lab) that I haven't had much time for contributing to wikipedia at the time being...
A few of my notes:
Many Regards Charlie( t | e ) 01:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I've given you a list of "problem statements" on the article's talk page. Also, short sections are generally frowned upon; for the amount of prose there is, you should probably halve the number of sections (not counting references and links). Nifboy 05:09, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Just to let you know, I have been working extensively on wikifying these articles for quite a while now, with User:Charlie Huggard in his sandbox under the title Timeline of World Oil Market events. We (like you) have merged the articles into decades, and have wikified almost everything, except for 2002-2003. 2001 was actually a copy job of 2000, so I am in the process of editing out the irrelavant content and wikifing it. Perhaps since we are working on the same goal, we could colaborate, and as our project is much farther along than yours, it would save you some time. What do you think? You can find our wikified articles here. Thanks! Green451 22:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. Apparently User:Mstroeck wanted to use the main page Chronology of world oil market events (1970-2005) as linked to from the page 1970 world oil market chronology but Timeline of World Oil Market events sounds simpler to me. What should we do for that main page? I guess we could just summarize each decade and give a link to the full decade article. Anyway, I'll try and help out wikifying. So do I just edit from his sandbox? I've also been trying to improve the page oil politics. I was surprised that no one had written much on it.medleysoul 03:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
for tidying up after me (wikifying a disambiguation page)!!! 09:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the comments! I just wanted to let you know that I haven't ignored yours; it's just that they require more writing, some of which I already was planning out. Maybe something by tomorrow (I hope). I'll certainly let you know as soon as they're addressed - I don't want to keep anyone waiting too long! Thanks so much, Girolamo Savonarola 03:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
You prodded this article, which was subsequently deleted. However, a request has been made to undelete the page, and per WP:DRV I have granted that request. If you still believe the article should be deleted, feel free to list the article at WP:AFD. Steve block Talk 10:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I wanted to make sure I got your response, if any, to the following (my reply to your comment on the Templates for deletion page). If the consensus is to keep the template in some form, its creator has already approved of modifying it. If that's the course that's ultimately followed, I want to do it in the most effective fashion. You can look at the bottom of my main user page to see the revised version I'm currently considering. Here's my reply to the "Dave Silk" quote:
Apropos of nothing, I'm very impressed by your Top 10 movie list...except, have you revisited Lost in Translation recently? Think it really holds up? Best, Dan —DCGeist 22:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your response on Template:Story. As you probably suspect, there's no good reason at all that Vertigo is not generally considered a film noir. It's an issue that specifically interests me--here's a (lengthy) excerpt from something I wrote on it on a while back, in the context of discussing the over-inflated issue of what qualifies as the "last" classic film noir. You'll want to cut it from this discussion page, after or in the midst of (or even before!) reading it. Best, Dan.
OK...back in the present. Hope this momentary parachuting of text onto your discussion page was (a) nondisruptive and (b) somewhat edifying. D —DCGeist 06:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey! I saw your posting of that shortcut on an AfD. I posted WP:COI, and to make sure they were the same thing, I clicked on yours. To my dismay and surprise it is now a soft redirect! There is more information at the link (it bascially says it can be thought of as bad so don't use it...). Just a friendly note so that no users give you crap later.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion on the cameo section for Alfred Hitchcock cameos. It is one of the constants in his body of work. For those interested this is an easy way to locate the cameo in the film. I have reinstated it or we can take it to WP for resolution. Philbertgray 13:53, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey Green 451 - I read the discussion on the Cameo section in the psycho talk page - appears the consensus is to not have a separate category so I gracefully bow to the majority and moved it to the trivia section. I added it to several others which I will go back and change as well, just for consistency. I did bold Alfred Hitchcock Cameo at the beginning of the trivia content since I do feel it is of enough interest by film fans to warrant an easy way to spot it. Course with my luck I'll probably be shot down on that too. Not to change the subject I am a Myst addict myself. Spent six months on the first one but finally got through it. Hoping for an upgrade of the sequals to mac osx but doubtful it will happen. getting ready to start on Myst IV soon. 13:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
This is also on the Psycho talk page, but it's mostly for you.
According to Hitchcock, a series of shots of Arbogast going up the stairs in the Bates house before he is stabbed were shot by the crew solely using Bass' drawings when Hitchcock was incapiacitated due to a running a "temperature". However, upon viewing the dailies of the shots, Hitchcock was forced to scrap them they were "no good".[46] Hitchcock later regretted cutting the shots, as he believed that due to the sequence being cut, "it wasn't an innocent person but a sinister man who was going up those stairs. Those cuts would have been perfectly all right if they were showing a killer, but they were in conflict with the whole spirit of the scene."[46]
My Leigh book says that Hilton Green directed those shots with "Hitchcock's explicit storyboards". Green shot "just Martin Balsam coming in the front door, looking around, and starting up the stairs prior to Mother's entrance." When Hitch saw the dailies, he said "You've got the thing reversed. What we want to see is a man in peril going upstairs, where we think death might await him. What you've shot [looks like] a murderer going upstairs, about to kill someone." It then details what Hitch means and goes on to say that some of the shots did end up in the film. This seems to contradict the interview's last statement. Have another look at your book and see if you also see a contradiction, if you do I'll try to find it in my other book (which I've just started because it goes into an excessive amount of detail).--Supernumerary 05:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
No worries - thanks for letting me know about it personally! I always knew that this would happen sooner or later, but I have been stalling for a long time on getting around to referencing the article, so I'm not being caught unawares. :) Hopefully this will work out fine.

Hi! Received your message about removing information from Sid Meier's Pirates! (2004) but I seriously didn't know I had removed any information. My apologies. (also: I cannot see any changes in the history... does that happen after a rollback?) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.160.207.66 (talk • contribs).
Concur with the low quality of the article, as it stood - however, quite aware of MoS requirements. Should have placed an "under construction" or "major revamping" tag at the top, along with the plea for verifiability and noteworthiness (I tossed the link at the school's IT type, asking him to pass it along; the note was to keep novices from filling the page with "FKSS rocks" stuff - it does, but that isn't encyclopedic!). Thanks for the help, though! Quadra 18:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your piece of advice. However, NE2 is just being really insensitive to others at the project, and seeing as I tried an RFC, people have been on NE2's side, while I'm accused of being the bad guy. I believe he continues turn up the heat because it gives him something to do. It's people like him who make me want to give up on Wikipedia.
I have really tried hard, but I think the only way the issue finally settles is if he gets blocked. --Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs) 22:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :((GAReview)) underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 01:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
