The Joy of Sect lead edit

At the Peer Review for "The Joy of Sect", the automated peer review made some interesting suggestions, which I am going to address one at a time at the Peer Review page. Wikipedia:Peer_review/Automated/October_2007#The_Joy_of_Sect -- The first one is to expand the lead. As I had previously had a longer lead which you then shortened per the norm for other The Simpsons featured articles (which I think is fine that you did that, by the way) - I just wanted to check and see what your thoughts were on this?

List of Ipswich Town F.C. players edit

I do not appreciate you passing List of Ipswich Town F.C. players at this moment. I did not have the chance to reply to the nominators comments, posted on October 31. Furthermore, the nominator was still checking the list, because there were made some mistakes. – Ilse@ 09:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your work on Blind Ambition (Family Guy), I have resubmitted it for review, as the review did not comply with the GA criteria. Cheers, Qst 18:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Wow edit

Wow, my internet dies for one day, and I've missed so much! Well not that much really, but it seems that way... Anyway, the new project page looks fine, and the season 9 drive is really coming on. Anyway, it seems like I've been away for ages, I guess because I havn't really accomplished much this week... Ah well, I'll finish The Two Mrs. Nahasapeemapetilons, and then do something else over the weekend. Gran2 19:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest, re: List of basic geography topics edit

For the record, it doesn't seem appropriate for someone involved in a discussion in a !voting forum to close a discussion. I requested an unbiased decision (that is, a decision from someone not involved in the discussion). There were 5 supporters and 2 opposers, with only one opposer on any particular point. You were in the minority position, and you really shouldn't have closed the discussion, as it makes it appear that bias was involved. You should avoid such conflicts of interst. The Transhumanist 23:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply


You've misinterpretted the meaning of consensus, especially how it is applied on Wikipedia. Consensus does not mean unanimous. The concerns may not have been met to your satisfaction, but they were addressed. Five to two is consensus. You still should not have closed it, especially when my request was that a person not involved in the discussion do so. Waiting a week for it to close is fine with me, as I didn't expect it to close immediately anyways. Please reopen it and let someone not associated with the discussion close it. Thank you. The Transhumanist 22:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: The Joy of Sect edit

Twice I've started to message you regarding this and then gotten side-tracked and closed without finishing and saving. It looks good. I'd go for it. I don't see anything standing out, but I'm sure if anything does come up, it can be easily corrected. Good luck. LaraLove 04:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ironically, I left a comment right when you sent me one.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:57, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
I was merely scanning the article, I haven't actually read it. That was just something that caught my eye, because "reception" sections for episode articles can sometimes get abused with unencyclopedic information.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Question edit

If you go on [1] THAT link, and fix the thing so it says November 11th, 2007, 8:00, and if you click the program info for The Simpsons (Little Orphan Millie) it says Luann and Kirk will remarry. Should we list that? The fact they are going to remarry? The full info program is listed below:

"Milhouse stays with the Simpsons when his parents remarry eachother and honeymoon on a cruise ship. But when his parents are knocked overboard and lost at sea, Milhouse decides to grow up and be a man." - Yours truly, Superior(talk) 23:21, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

No no, I mean add it to the article "Little Orphan Millie", or add it to the article "The Simpsons (season 19)"? - Yours truly, Superior(talk) 23:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Of course .. but isn't this source [2] << liable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sup3rior (talkcontribs) 23:33, 3 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Simpsons Seasons... edit

Hello. I was just looking at several Featured Topics, and I noticed the WWE featured lists topic. My question is, does every subject under a topic have to be featured for it to be a FT? Because I could easily get season up to season 14 (and more, as I've heard the fifth book is coming soon) to FL, but I'm not sure if all 19 (or 18 until 19 finishes) would have to be FL'd to make that a topic. ✗iℎi✗(talk) 01:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thats a shame. It seems that it would be a very easily achievable Featured Topic relating to The Simpsons to get. ✗iℎi✗(talk) 01:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Oh, really? I'll look into more to see if I can find good sources for all of them. It's a good thing they're newer seasons, or finding information for stuff before the internet would harder... Anyway, I'll probably start making all the seasons featured after the Season 9 project. And, if you have another season project in mind, please tell me which, so I can start on buying the DVD for it. I was thinking season 4 or 7, but it's up to you. ✗iℎi✗(talk) 01:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thats a lot of FT's! But, if it's season 4, then I'll do it. Also, I don't think we'd be able to do all of seasons, at least not until all the DVD's come out (could take a few more years at the least). ✗iℎi✗(talk) 01:58, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
You guys use the commentaries, which is the main source we get the Production information from. Without it, episodes that have no publicity at all (such as the ones I've been working on in Season 9), would be impossible to get to even GA status. ✗iℎi✗(talk) 02:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Rockin with The Trews edit

Hi, I don't think Rockin with The Trews ought to be used as an external link or a source for articles about The Trews as it is full of errors about the band's history. Maybe the birth dates should be left out until they can be verified by a more reliable source. Strobilus 02:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sounds fine to me. That fansite is a mess—wrong dates, misinformation about who started the band, etc. Strobilus 03:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Halloween edit

Allowing for the time difference, i'd say Halloween must be well and truly over by now. I'm just curious, coming from a country where it isn't celebrated, what it's like. Canada celebrates halloween doesn't it? --Simpsons fan 66 22:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Space Pilot 3000 GA nom edit

Since you're a member of WikiProject Futurama and I see that you have contributed to quite a few GAs and FAs I was hoping you could take a few minutes to look over Space Pilot 3000 which is currently on hold for GA, I just need a few extra sets of eyes to look it over before the final judgment.

Re: The Joy of Sect again edit

Sorry for the delay. Rough week. I think the article is looking really good. I think it would pass FAC. If more information can be found, that's never a bad thing for FA, but I think it would do well. Any issues that may come up should be easy fixes. LaraLove 05:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've left the guy a message, if he keeps it up you should report him. Saw the JOS FAC, suspicious about the guy opposing... anyway, I'll monitor it. And THOH was crap?

Treehouse edit

Looks great, although I assume you gonna have some sort of intro to the segments section? I found it pretty confusing. Anyway, its looks really good. Also, I'm redisgning the cast list as we speak, hopefully with some form of casting section. Gran2 21:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

here, probably will be nominated, looking at the competition, although Ratatouille will win. Gran2 19:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well history has shown that the Academy loves Pixar and Dreamworks. But, Pixar hasn't always won. I mean Happy Feet beat Cars, purely because of the environmental message. But I digress. Shrek 3 got pretty much negative reviews I thought, and although the original won, and 2 was nominated, I think it would be considered overkill if the third were. And well, The Simpsons is The Simpsons, always has won awards, so I think it has got a good chance of be nominated at least. Plus it does techinally have themes and messages (Academy voters like those), so I don't know... Will they nominate a film based on a TV show? Because, in my view, it is certainly one of the three best animated films this year. Gran2 20:02, 9 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Realty Bites edit

Hey. I'm a bit busy, so I can't, but can you fixed up Realty Bites? You just have to fix the references and add ones that Ctjf83 didn't, because I'm afraid it won't pass the GA otherwise. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xihix (talkcontribs) 23:32, 9 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

any ref. to the fact that the THOH are inspired by EC Comics Horror tales...if you put that Ctjf83 02:45, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Simpsons Halloween edit

I skimmed through it quickly. It seems pretty solid - an FA seems plausible, with a little polishing. There are still some things I'd like to fix at The Joy of Sect, but I'll get back to the Halloween page eventually. Zagalejo^^^ 06:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Very nice, learnt alot from the page. Prose could use a litle tightening in some places, but the information level is great. Gran2 16:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
You could just use "the episodes", or something like that. In most cases, it should be clear that you're talking about the Halloween episodes. Zagalejo^^^ 19:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi!, sorry to be a pain, but I'm only one more "Support" vote away to gtting the article "Featured".

From the Editor

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.

This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a project news section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a current events section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.

That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at this talk page.

Bart Star edit

Hey. I found this, which I think would go very nicely in a new section, perhaps Legacy, with it regarding the Skittlebrau that Homer thought of during the episode. Just Google Skittle Brau or Skittlebrau, it's turned pretty big. Do you think you could add it in? I'm not sure how, as I've never done a Legacy type thing. xihix(talk) 19:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ah, thanks. Also, wanted to mention that in the commentary, Mike Scully mentioned that "The Skittlebrau was a very cool idea, we could have spun it off to make a new business..." Not sure if it's really addable, but you can fit in if you wish. xihix(talk) 19:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
One last thing, there are more articles at the bottom of the page I gave you with many other expirements the guy did with the Skittlebraus that you may want to check. xihix(talk) 20:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, the website seems pretty formal and stuff, and not just some blog thing. I think it's notable... xihix(talk) 23:27, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Also, there are products on it like [www.cafepress.com/SkittleBrau clothes]. There's also a website dedicated just to it. xihix(talk) 23:31, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Another thing I just learned is that the Skittle Brau was seen in another episode apparently. I know I've seen the episode before but I can't remember which, but it involved a 33-cent store... xihix(talk) 23:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I remember now, it was Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo. xihix(talk) 23:45, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Not being an admin edit

just so you know, you don't have to be an admin. All you would have to do is choose the lists and someone else could protect them. Admn ship is not needed for the position. The Placebo Effect 22:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

well, all that is need is a LOTD manager. Everything else can continue the way it is cause it isn't a mess like early Featured Articles. Its just that you seem the most active at promoting and i think you would be able to choose lists to appear on the main page that wouldn't make people angry.

geog list at FLC edit

You participated in the discussion, and you also participated in the previous discussion of which this is essentially a direct continuation of. You've showed through your comments that you are opposed to the list as it currently stands. Therefore, it would be a conflict of interest for you to close the discussion. However, in general, if the supports don't outweigh the opposes by at least a proportion of 3 to 1, then I would have no objection with you closing the discussion as failed. I intend to source the list, and therefore I don't want featured status to be granted until after sourcing is completed. (Without sources, it would probably just be put up for review right away anyways). I'll source it before resubmitting it. But since the discussion is still providing valuable feedback, please let it continue. I expect more people will click on it when it reaches the bottom of the list. Thank you.

Talk:The Simpsons edit

I can't answer why the banner shell template was removed. One thing I personally think might be worth mentioning though is that maybe the 1.0 template might be separated from the other templates, maybe being placed underneath the banner shell. I only say this because that template doesn't refer so much to a specific WikiProject, but indicates that the article in question is included in one or more of the print or electronic versions of wikipedia, which is possibly important to all the projects, and also, honestly, can be seen as being at least a little point of pride for the people who've worked on the article. Just an opinion, of course. John Carter 21:16, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Simpsons Halloween episodes edit

Yeah, I'll try to take a look soon. Lately, I've been caught up in basketball stuff, since the NBA season is in full swing, but I'll get back to Simpsons aricles eventually. Zagalejo^^^ 06:30, 18 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have a question about this sentence: "Every Treehouse of Horror episode features an opening segment which precedes the modified version of the opening sequence." When you talk about the "modified version of the opening sequence", what specifically are you referring to? The couch gag and the TV screen credits? Thanks. Zagalejo^^^ 05:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
So should we really begin the sentence with the word "Every"? Zagalejo^^^ 05:32, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, that's kind of an indirect warning, no? Zagalejo^^^ 02:24, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
RE this edit: I was following a guideline mentioned here. (Actually, I've seen this guideline mentioned elsewhere, but that was the first link I found that explains it clearly.) If we didn't care about the way the sentence sounds, we would write it as "the The Simpsons Halloween Episodes...). However, the two the's are awkward, so we have to drop the one that is part of the show's title. Just wanted to explain what I was doing. Zagalejo^^^ 20:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, I could dig through the newspaper archives to see if there are any good reviews. That should help beef up the recption section.

Ehh, I don't know about that... Gramatically speaking, "The" is not functioning as part of any title in that sentence. I'll take it to the reference desk. Zagalejo^^^ 04:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

What is the proper way to merge the Flander's articles (with the exception of Ned) into the family article. I also commented on your post about the kids' mentions of "being gay", and it is absolutely ridiculous that it is mentioned in their articles. Ctjf83 03:22, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

oh, and also, in the future if someone accuses of you of removing "gay stuff" from an article, just because you don't want it there, it wouldn't hurt to let me know.

Tree House of Horror (Series) FAC edit

I can't believe this, I try and do the article a favor and this is the thanks I get. I didn't see anything about a GA given that its at the very bottom of the notices.

Oh darn. Anyway, just one thing before I pass it as a GA. Do I put it before "Treehouse of Horror [number]", or do I list it alphabetically.
By the way, I saw the clip of Alan Moore, Spielgman and Cloves on YouTube. Very very funny, how good is the rest of the episode? Alientraveller (talk) 19:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

They took the mick out of that at the end of one episode, as well as "Treehouse of Horror I". So I don't think it'll ever reach that point. I do like how the writers are aware they're not as good as they used to be ("like Homer jumping the shark") but not every episode can be "Deep Space Homer" now can it...

Cast edit

I'm adding a casting type section to the cast list, and I remember hearing in a commentary that Groening was forced to use Kavner and Castellaneta. I thought it was 138th Spectacular, but I;ve just listened to it, and its not mentioned. So do you have any idea which one it is? Gran2 20:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've asked at NHC, although I think I must have imagined it. As such, do you have any other good casting info for the pair? Gran2 20:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
You know I really think he did say it, but he was joking. I've found another source that enables me to work around it, and if I ever find the commentary I can just add it in, depending on how he phrases it. Anyway, if you ever have time, could you see if you could find a reliable source to say that Lunchlady Doris was reitred because Doris Garu died. I can't really find anything. Gran2 17:32, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Right (unless you have any other suggestions), I'm going to go ahead with an FLC for the cast list, the worst thing that'll happen is it'll fail, an then I can just re-submit once its been changed. Gran2 16:44, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, the layout of the main cast table is probably the biggest problem. I'll put the notes that are there, as in-line citations, and remove the notes section. The only alternate thing is to come up with some more notes, and that'd be harder. And I'll stick in some more free-use images. Gran2 16:52, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well I'd always thought you could, because the image is "free-use", but the fact that its off the Simpsons themselves means its unuseable. Its written somewhere at the commons "if it free use if I've taken the picture?" "Not if its a picture of a copyrighted character." So its not free use because the Simpsons are all copyrighted characters, and the statues themselves could as a work of art, which is another reason we can't use it. So, unfortunately, we can't use that image. Gran2 15:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

F. Topic edit

The only defunct WWE championships are the European and Hardcore. The others are from the WWF and WWWF eras. And anyway, you say that we should keep it as "current champions" (even though thats not the title) because we'd have to work on all the other list of champions. I find that it is necessary that we work on those lists. You are taking away from the purpose of Wikipedia, when you say that "it's too much work to perfect more lists". Lex T/C Guest Book 23:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Vanier Cup edit

I'm not sure why you removed the records from the page. I see you noted it was due to not being cited. However, all those records were compiled by me simply by going through the champions list. Ergo, they may not be "official" but they are still legitimate and should remain part of that article. As was mentioned above, these are not your articles. Before removing something that has been on the page for a year without question, put something on the talk page first and let those who authored the article explain it. So I am reverting your removal and expect you to post on talk page before unilaterally removing it again. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 08:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I read what you posted and its not original research per se. Its simply see one thing and compile it. The reason I say they should stay is that many members of CISFootball.org (i.e. fans, mediatypes and players) find that section the most useful of the bunch. In fact, I believe some of the CIS teams have used that section in their radio broadcasts. So I find it a legitimate thing to have one there. Perhaps, it could be split off into a list page then. Plus, I'm sure if you dig around the CISport.ca and VanierCup.com you can find the same thing. Shootmaster 44 (talk) 05:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Image edit

[3] - I know its not free-use (yet, I'm gonna message the uploaded) but it is Tress MacNeille isn't it? Because it doesn't actually say... The guy also has a Julie Kavner image, so I try and get that as well. Gran2 15:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Right I've been doing a lot of image work today, I created a user sub page (which when finished we could move to a project sub-page) of pretty much every free use image we have (here). I did it principally to determine which people we needed images for, and I know alot of the staff will never have them I managed to find a fair few which I've asked the authors to change the license. So far I've only had one response, and that's on a better image of James L. Brooks (the current one's licensing I'm to sure about). But on top of that I've asked about images of: Harry Shearer, Julie Kavner, Tress, Mike Reiss, David X. Cohen, John Di Maggio, Alf Clausen, Pamela Hayden, Maggie Roswell, Russi Taylor, Bill Odenkirk and Dana Gould. How many will be changed so their useable is anyone's guess.

I didn't care for "24 Minutes" funnily enough: I've never watched 24, and I don't find nuclear destruction particularly funny either. But "Moonshine"'s plot sounds like a great film parody.

Simpsons triple crown edit

  • Over at User:Durova/Triple crown winner's circle, you can see that Durova (talk · contribs) accepts any Featured Content, not just articles. By my count, that means the editors that have contributed FA material to The Simpsons project include you and myself, and then there's Gran2 (talk · contribs), Xihix (talk · contribs), and Maitch (talk · contribs). (Congrats to you all, by the way, I checked and you helped promote a ton of featured content. Very impressive!) At any rate, we can either: Ask Durova to lower the requirement to five editors, instead of six, and then contact each editor and help them get their requisite GA or DYK - Or, we'll have to see if there is another editor on Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons that is close to/willing to get something to Featured quality, be it an article about an episode, list, etc. Thoughts?

Just being an image of a key plot event does not mean the image itself is discussed in the text. On that logic you could justify an complete visual storyboard everytime we write a plot synopsis.

Treehouse of Horror edit

Did you find anything here worth adding to the Reception section?

I think the article still needs some copyediting; I'll do a little bit tonight. I did post a message at the ref desk about the italicizing/capitalizing in the opening sentence, but we haven't come to a complete consensus. So I dunno about that... Zagalejo^^^ 02:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Possibly. There are lots of newspaper articles to sort through; I haven't gotten to the newer stuff. I'll take a look soon. Zagalejo^^^ 02:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
The best thing I've found is this. That article is behind a paywall, but here's the most relevant chunk of it:
"Watching the fifteenth installment, airing 7 p.m. Sunday, it's hard to avoid the conclusion that Halloween is pretty much played out as a comic premise for the Simpsons gang.
Over the years, the Treehouse vignettes have contributed some of the finest, funniest moments to the Simpsons oeuvre - the classic retelling of Poe's The Raven, the monkey's paw that grants its possessor three wishes, the magic hammock Homer uses to clone himself, the high-tech home with the voice of Pierce Brosnan that develops a deadly crush on Marge.
But this year's installment adds nothing to that list; indeed, this year's threesome is as unfunny as anything the series has ever done...." Zagalejo^^^ 04:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Do you want me to look for more? Also, someone at the ref desk commented that "Treehouse of Horror" should be in quotes, rather than italics. Do you have any preference about that? Zagalejo^^^ 03:53, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Another thing. When discussing the end credits of THOH I, we say, "Originally it was supposed to use a Theramin, but one could not hit all of the necessary notes." Does this mean that it is impossible for anyone to hit the notes? Zagalejo^^^ 04:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, that's referring to THOH XV. I really couldn't find any articles that described a general decline in quality. Zagalejo^^^ 10:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I only briefly looked at it, as I'm busy doing stuff in real life, but it doesn't look bad. A copyedit is never too bad, and I look at it a bit later once I finish everything else... Sorry if this answer was of unsatisfactory. xihix(talk) 02:44, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I commented at Wikipedia:Peer review/Treehouse of Horror (series)/archive1.

Funeral for a Fiend edit

I'm all for proper sourcing - and if you look at my edits - you will see that I am a longtime and a valuable contributor. As for sourcing this one cultural reference - it is so obvious to me (and probably to most people) that a need to source it, seems like a joke to me. Maybe that offended you - but this I did not mean to do. I am just perplexed that everything else in the cultural references section is original research and some references are completely obscure ("Moe runs behinds the Hibbert's car and watches Sesame Street where Derek Jeter guest stars."),and this extremly obvious reference to an image that became a defining icon of the sixties or as time magazine once declared "It’s one of the most famous pictures in the American History." should be properly referenced? That seemed like a joke to me. --noclador 21:46, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Well, I'm a Italian living in Austria and was born 14 years after JFK's assassination :-) I got the JFK reference immediately and Derek Jeter - still no clue, who that is... as for reference: when I first posted the reference i linked from Kennedy's name to the picture of his son saluting! I think that is reference enough- as people can see the JFK Jr. image for themselves. --noclador 22:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
I just saw that you once again changed the reference section: Do you actually read what people write??? The "Oh, the hilarity!" reference to broadcaster Herbert Morrison's famous cry of "Oh, the humanity!" when the Hindenburg crashed is in the Hindenburg article here on wikipedia! Go to LZ 129 Hindenburg#Historic newsreel coverage and read it there! Have you actually seen the episode??? To me it seems you did not yet see it - as Olbermann calls Marge Simpson clearly "Worst Person in the World" even showing pictures of the devil (subtitled worse) Mr. Burns (subtitled worser) and Marge (subtitled worst). What source besides the episode do you want? isn't that enough??? --noclador 22:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
"using the episode itself as a ref isn't acceptable" it isn't??? now that makes everything really difficult. In that case most of the cultural references will never be sourced properly. I thought, that if it is in the episode, that you than need to find the corresponding cultural event (i.e. the Hindenburg line - link to the Hindenburg article, where the line is sourced, that's it I thought.) Well, in that case: Good work to you, as I can not (and probably will never) be able to provide you with such an external source :-( --noclador 23:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
