Supplementary titles? edit
Greetings. Good addition to List of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, but can you fix this section as names have been stretched? Regards Thebladesofchaos (talk) 01:42, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- If you have a look here ([1]) you can see the authors names have become "stretched" as I put it. Regards. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 01:53, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Many thanks. That is an outstanding effort. Nice to know I am not alone in trying to lift the standard of the entire Fighting Fantasy article range. Thebladesofchaos (talk) 01:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Further to this, can I ask how you actually group references from the same source? You did it quite well at List of Fighting Fantasy gamebooks and I'm trying to do it at Spy vs. Spy to avoid repeating the same reference. Regards Thebladesofchaos (talk) 00:29, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Grizzly Adams photo edit
Hello,
I saw the image that you uploaded for James "Grizzly" Adams. I am interested in converting this image to vector graphics for upload to Open Clip Art Library. I am wondering if you have a higher resolution version of this image. Thanks, Val42 (talk) 05:03, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- The current image on Wikipedia is just a cleaned up version of the original image (same resolution) uploaded by Daderot. So it is the highest resolution I have access to. —MJBurrage(T•C) 14:39, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Not a mistake - how? edit
Re: [2]. Could you explain it on article's talk? Thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

New Amsterdam edits edit
Regarding these two edits (1, 2), I am wondering if the information you re-added was explicitly noted within the series. I am primarily referring to the dates used, but also in relation to historical events noted in the 'Timeline' section. These would include the information regarding the following dates and information (I've emboldened the fields that I feel are synthesis and OR):
- 642 Johann is stabbed through the heart saving the life of a native girl. She and the women shaman of her LenapeE-3 village (sited in what would become New York's Times Square) save his life,
- "1880s or c. 1903 As J. G. Benwaar, he is a well known furniture maker. (A fuzzy picture in the pilot might say 1903, but later episodes account for John's aliases from 1893 through WWI, suggesting that Benwaar was retconned to before "Dutch".)"
- c. 1917 John fought in France during World War I.E-5 He was wounded and underwent contrology therapy—now known as the Pilates exercise regimen—in his recovery and rehabilitation.E-8
- c. 1950s During the Cold War John blackmailed his superior in a government agency.E-5 This was possibly the CIA which John served in for 10 years.E-6
I think this properly illustrates many of the problems in the section; indeed, the problem with trying to timeline any immortal in a tv series. Text is best way to present the information contextually and not as a gleaning from tiny (and often contradictory) clues that require the editor to play detective (the term I used was "Sherlocking"), and add themselves and their own perceptions to an article, whichin turn makes it less encyclopedic.
I invite you to revisit your edits, and consider removing some of the material that you feel is indeed original research or synthesis. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 13:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Fabienne Delsol edit
Hello MJBurrage, Just wanted to let you know that I saw that you created the new article Fabienne Delsol--However, I think the article seems to contain a few errors: the article does not contain in-line citations, and so doesn't follow Wikipedia style guidelines. It would be great if you could also clean-up the related article Carwyn Ellis.
Have a fun and productive day! Cheers,Jipinghe (talk) 18:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
