I assume the DVDs you're watching are for Smallville (season 1)? How is it so far? — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 20:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone can give a barnstar for anything. It's absurd. I created my usertag after seeing a user give another user a barnstar as a reward for his diligence in giving barnstars. I don't believe in ridiculous over-use of awards. It's like the modern American school system, rewarding people for mediocrity and trying to make everyone feel special. I'm apparently not the only person with this view - I've seen another user who said he would consider being given a barnstar an act of vandalism. Some guy ( talk) 18:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Couldn't hurt, there has been consistent vandalism there for several days now, and no productive edits besides reversions.-- Cúchullain t/ c 20:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to respond to your revert of my change at the Neighbour Jones article. I thought the use of the phrases "in the comic", "in the story", and so forth made it pretty obvious that the article made a good attempt at keeping it out of universe. I agree it needs more references; maybe you'd agree to change to it to the Unreferenced tag? Konczewski ( talk) 15:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Looks like Liquidfinale beat me to it. The discussion about Germany was held at Talk:The Lord of the Rings film trilogy#German, where the same editor attempted to amend the matter back in July. The consensus seems to be against including Germany due to the lack of verifiable detail about its involvement, so the editor shouldn't have tried to seek his way again a half year later. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 01:48, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
There were five diffs that caused concern for me. The two that I considered the biggest problems, though, were actually not what I thought they were. It appeared he had deleted images, but he actually had not. The other three were things such as switching the wikilink deringer to Henry Deringer for some reason. While both point to the same page, the change is bad (perhaps not vandalistic), because Lincoln was shot with a Deringer revolver, not with (or by) the man, Henry Deringer. Additionally, nearly all the edits were simply cosmetic, and didn't significantly improve the article, leading me to believe that the editor was hiding his bad edits with these multiple cosmetic ones. Anyways, I'll leave your revertion as it stands, though I think that some of the edits were completely unnecessary, as it appears I was mistaken about the image deletions that concerned me most.

Nope, its correct from where I'm sitting. Please see American and British English spelling differences. Alientraveller ( talk) 17:29, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, since I'm not an admin myself, I wanna ask someone who is. What does this feature do exactly? Does it show the Contributions of someone that edited on a page that's removed now? TheBlazikenMaster ( talk) 19:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I'd be glad to help you find out more about future films. A few of my favorite resources are listed below:
You should take some discretion with these websites, though. These websites sometimes do not get their information from the best places. Sometimes they rely on anonymous scoopers, which is a no-no for verifiability. (Can't blame these websites, though -- rumors and speculation help them keep traffic high.) What I've also done is set up Google Alerts so I capture headlines about films through Google News. Take a look at this screen shot of my separate Gmail account for such purposes. This way, I can get headlines from usually reliable sources. Besides the resources above, it's really a mix of different reliable sources that one has to hunt down. You can tell from some of the future films on which I've worked that they can be pretty varied. Any future film you want to know more about? I've tried to keep on top of most potential blockbusters. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 01:59, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I was just scanning the list of double redirects at Special:DoubleRedirects and noticed the problem. Thundermaster T R U C 13:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
No, you had redirected it to a redirect. Thundermaster T R U C 08:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey BlazikenMaster, as a holiday present, I decided to make you a honorary member of the Helpers. Don't worry, you won't have do anything. It's just like getting an honorary degre at a collage, all you have is braging rights, you're not a full-fleged member.-- BrianGriffin-FG ( talk) 17:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
