Trivia cleanup note edit

Here is some helpful tips for you: trivia sections are not always called trivia. They have been called notes, other, miscellanea and so on. If you know a certain subject better than another, work on those trivia sections first. If the note is something obvious about the subject, it probably shouldn't be in trivia (such as Bart Simpson wears shorts). Good job on the cleaning so far. I know the project talk page is full of complaints, but I'm hoping that changes. If you need other help with trivia, feel free to post on my talk page. I will respond as soon as I can.

'Relationship to other Ten Thirteen Productions shows' on X-Files page edit

I noticed you removed a lot of the items under 'Relationship to other Ten Thirteen Productions shows' on the X-Files page. I understand this from the point of view of removing trivia, but on the other hand I found it very interesting and handy to have all these connections between the shows listed in one place. Perhaps this warrants it's own page, if we do not want it on the X-Files page? Plain Simple 16:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

please visit the talk page for a question I have raised. also, I confess to bad spelling, but my grammar was indeed correct. thanks!--Tednor 18:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC) You didn't read what I had written very carefully , which i was afraid of, so I've rewritten it in hopes you'll see what I'm saying. I dont' want to judge her performance at ALL, just to say that the character is used as an emotional foil to Judd's character.

Re:Alien edit

If someone does a good job I like to compliment them on it. Usually people think that if you just say it got an award then someone will have to take their word on it, and sometimes it's hard to try and find a place that actually lists the awards for a certain venue. Bout the "xenomorph", that's what I said to Seaworldpunk, because the "Alien 3" article kept saying "Alien" when talking about the creature, instead of "alien". Seeing as "alien" isn't it's name but just a general classification for an unknown species, I kept trying to fix all the "Alien" titles. Bignole 00:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

The X-Files merchandise edit

I made a mistake. I split the article The X-Files merchandise from The X-Files article but failed to link the original in the edit summary per Wikipedia:Summary style as I thought it meant the reverse. Is there a way to remedy this? - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 05:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

BART images edit

Thanks for leaving a note on my talk page, I probably would have missed it otherwise. I'll upload the SFO pic, but I have some alternative interior photos at http://berkeley.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2075625&l=06ba0&id=1230541 ; let me know which one (of the three interior pics) you like best. —lensovettalk – 19:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

The height of those images has to do with the handlebars that i could rest my camera on...there isn't enough lighting in the cars, even when the train was outside, so the shutter speed is too slow...consequently if you don't have a tripod it will be blurry. i don't have a tripod, so i had to resort to just holding it on the handlebars, which are either too low or too high :). I will upload 13 now though. —lensovettalk – 23:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
I presume you have seen the images, but I also realized I had two similar photos of different cars, so people can see the difference between the newer (refurb) and older cars. cheers! —lensovettalk – 08:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
I uploaded new versions tonight of both photos, taken today with a tripod! Let me know what you think. —lensovettalk – 07:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Typo in Japanese name ツィフィアス edit

ツィフィアス would be pronounced as Tsifiasu

ゼフィアス would be prounounced as Zefiasu (this is the correct transcription) --Inetpup 02:15, 27 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

You could try (probably in this order):
  • ゼィフィアス - ZeIFIASU; note that the 'e' is almost silent so it's pronounced as zi as in 'zee'
  • ズィフィアス - ZuIFIASU; note that the 'u' is almost silent so it's also pronounced as zi as in 'zee'
  • ヅィフィアス - DZuIFIASU; sounds similar to ズィフィアス but it begins with the /dz/ (IPA ʥ - Voiced_alveolo-palatal_affricate sound). Although ヅィフィアス looks similar to your characters, there is tenten (Dakuten) mark that causes the 'tsu' sound to become a voiced /dzu/ sound
  • ジフィアス - JIFIASU; a very sloppy approximation

Add an Award to the List edit

Thanks for the help! Great to have such experts here to do that...

What I now see that I should do is add a redirection for the award I want to add to the list -- it's already elsewhere in Wikipedia, the "Distinguished Eagle Scout Award"...

How, please?

PS: 12 Monkeys is very high on my list, too. (Not what it seems...)

Tiananmen Square self-immolation article and section edit

Hello, I was just wondering if you would like to share ideas and understandings about the best way to deal with these two items, let's call them. What I think would be best is a short paragraph on the main page and a link to the lengthier article-sized version. Even better would be a way to see the introductory text on the main page somehow "linked" to the version on the article, so it updates whenever the original updates, and so text itself does not actually appear on the main article page when you click "edit", just some code indicating the text's source - do you know what I mean? That, to my mind, would be the best way to get around problems of inconsistent introductory paragraphs. In the other case I would suggest the article be deleted and the section remain by itself on the main page. I do not think it is useful to have a big section on the main page then an article with basically the same content, but with some parts missing, some additions, things here and there. It also requires monitoring of both... I think there are other problems. To a reader it would surely appear odd - one obvious question is whether there is significant new content, or what exactly is going on. One should be clear about what is being presented, and not have to scan through to compare if there is some information missing from one, or if each presents a different narrative of the incident. Anyway, maybe it is clear why it is not practical or a good idea to keep it as it is now. Well, those are just my thoughts, maybe you have different or better ideas about how to sort it out. I will wait to hear back from you before I make a move.--Asdfg12345 05:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Zepheus, the Tiananmen Square self-immolation incident page was created by Yenchin and Yueyuen as a draft when they worked together to research and write about the incident. It was never intended to be a separate page. And it has never been treated as a separate page until you came. There are too many daughter pages on the Falun Gong, can we keep this section on the Suppression of Falun Gong page? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samuel Luo (talkcontribs)

I know this is not a democracy, though through discussions we have three people in support of having it on the separate page and one against. The reason for having it on the separate page is basically because of the length. We will be adding more sections to the persecution page, too, so it may get very long if there are not some break away. I think for these nonessential items, like this long section dedicated to one specific incident in the history of the persecution, I think it is better to put it on its own page... Anyway, what do you think, Samuel? I am interested in why you think it's better on the main page, and not on a separate page?--Asdfg12345 21:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

A Request edit

Greetings, User:Zepheus, regarding your revert of this article on 8 May 2007, if you were to visit that page, you would see that some of the improvements have been restored which were lost through your revert. In light of this further information, you may care to reconsider the relevant (only) comment you made on the page Talk:Weasel word. I surely have demonstrated good faith, and I have assumed same. I would have no objection if you were to amend that public comment by striking out the sentence containing a most uncivil word you carelessly used. (Beginning with V-) Otherwise, the incorrect statement will stand, on the talkpage, as a testimonial of intemperence on your part, and as an unfounded accusation against me. Do you wish to take that appropriate action, then? – Newbyguesses 18:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply


I have read your message and have some comments.

You say, "Otherwise, the incorrect statement will stand, on the talkpage, as a testimonial of intemperence on your part, and as an unfounded accusation against me." I assume this is commenting on my statement of "Is he trying to write this so it's impossible to understand? If so, it could one of Wikipedia's longest running and clever forms of vandalism."

As you can see, I didn't make any accusation. I simply asked a question and gave a possible answer. I did not accuse you of vandalism. If I had said "He is writing this so it is impossible to understand. It is one of Wikipedia's longest running and clever forms of vandalism," then I could see how you would take offense. But, as such, I don't believe I "carelessly used" any word at all.

I have seen through your actions and countenance that you were and are acting in good faith, but I do not see any need to strike out my comment. - Zepheus <ゼィフィアス> 16:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the reply. I still feel it would be the right thing for you to do, to strike that one sentence. OK, it starts with "If.." but it ends in the V-word, and that makes it an insinuation, not an accusation. You may not visit that page, but I do. Editors will get the wrong impression, because they wont look into it any further. Of course, I would characterise the episode as inadvertant, and merely innacurate word-choice on your part there, but it is a semi-public page, a talkpage. And I know that much more uncivil things have been said, and continue to be said, thats no excuse not to rectify the matter. How easy is it to do the wrong thing? How do you think you would feel if someone insinuated you were a vandal, without even bothering to check on Special:contributions? I am jst asking you once more to do it, but if you can show why, in any WP:policy, that you shouldn't, then I would be OK with that. In any case, as we both have assumed good faith, any misunderstanding is no longer an issue, just those words.Newbyguesses - Talk 20:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Please see my comment regarding your request at Talk:Weasel_word#Revert_of_edits. - Zepheus <ゼィフィアス> 21:25, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thankyou, your solution is most equitable. Some good has come out of this, I hope I will be writing more understandable stuff, and you just showed me another way to solve that problem. Hope we collaborate again. Best wishes – Newbyguesses - Talk 21:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:48, 24 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
