I've read and understood your comments regarding the Notable accidents/incidents section, but I've decide to leave the info alone, because, as the subheading implies, they're notable.

I saw the film on video many years ago, well before Silence and the "remake" - I found the remake terrible compared to the original. Manhunter was more "realistic" I thought and much more terrifying, much more similar to how I imagined serial killers like Dahmer and Nilson would be - no warning and suddenly you're in their cook-pot!

Hello, thanks for your review and help. I've addressed the citation issues by adding 2 citations while removing a misinterpreted citation and its line entirely. I can assure that the article will no longer undergo further edit warring or major changes, since the film is far from its initial release and hype, during which several registered and unregistered users to constantly changed its contents.

Mr.Grapple. I would like to let you know that I have made a GAR for Laurel and Hardy. The reassessment can be found here. GamerPro64 ( talk) 02:48, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, having just reverted some changes to budget figures and the page title which are part of the pattern of long term edit-warring on this article, I am puzzled as to why you raised this as an issue for stability but later decided to ignore it and class the article as GA. I have added a comment to the GA review and if the page requires protection (yet again) I would be prepared to put the article up for reassessment as being too unstable to be validly classed as GA. Perhaps you could clarify your conclusion in the GA review? Thanks Fæ ( talk) 05:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
I have reviewed Manhunter (film). There remains issues with the article's references, along with a few other minor issues.

Hey, thanks for sorting the plot out. Good work on Manhunter by the way, sorry it didn't get through its first go at FAC. -- Beloved Freak 17:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
re: your edit comment - I disagree, actually. I think footnotes are much more cumbersome for this sort of reference (and really, we're not exactly citing anything. We're internally linking a plot point to the article it refers to). I understand how it might look intrusive, but I think that's because most Wikipedia plot summaries don't have enough real-world perspective. Referring explicitly to other works in the series should be encouraged, not avoided. And actually, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Plot summaries specifically recommends this style. With that last point in mind, especially, I think it would be best to restore the inline references. Thoughts? -- Fru1tbat ( talk) 21:20, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

It's too trivial to fix one way or the other, but both "cancelled" (UK) and "canceled" (US) are acceptable spellings. In US spelling, normally you would not double a consonant on an unstressed syllable.
Given that Batman is a US title, some would argue that the US spelling should be preferred (assuming the rest of the article consistently uses US spelling). CüRlyTüRkey Talk Contribs 23:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Just so you know, substantial comments probably shouldn't be marked as minor, like you did here. Some people set their watchlist so that minor edits aren't shown, and then they'd miss your comment. I don't know whether or not this was just a one-time mistake, but I though I'd mention it. – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 23:29, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey. If your concern was whether Breaking Bad would be too goofy, don't worry. It definitely isn't. Weeds is a show with a similar premise that is a little too goofy, but Breaking Bad isn't.

Thanks for taking the time to do so. I've given the article a minor copy edit and bit of expansion and a little reworking and I think it is now of an acceptable quality of prose. It now covers the key areas of History/Politics, Geography, and Economy. If there is anything else you want let me know, but a look through google books and web it seems to be almost as good as it could be right now, especially if you view how tiny the settlement is on google maps..! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:29, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. The listing has now shown up on the GAR page! Apologies if it is heavy reading for you but law is so poorly covered on wikipedia. Earlier I started the Supreme Court (Sudan) which was missing entirely! Sudan alone has over 100 notable courts. The article should be comprehensive given what is actually available about him.

Wasn't as good as I'd expected to be honest but worth a view. They definitely got the appearances and scenario as good as they possibly could have.It sort of takes you back in time to 1994/5. I'd have much rather it was about the killing itself rather than the aftermath! West was dressed exactly like him, Rosemary spitting image, it could have been her herself for all I knew, but Dominic West is certainly NOT convincing as a serial killer. If Fred really was like the way he portrayed him hardly surprising so many women fell for him. But West is a great actor and spoke to Janet Leach herself a lot about Fred's mannerisms, so maybe on the surface he did appear a nice guy but underneath a complete sadistic nutcase! Rosemary it seems though was the particularly cruel one. It really does bring the memories back I remember when it was on the news back in 1994 and I remember at the time I was playing the computer game Pang a lot on my Commodre 64! Somewhat bizarrely I still associate the spooky music on the Mt Fuji level with girls found under the patio and in the bathroom walls and that horrid peach orange dilapidated house! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:22, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

And maybe on Little Green Men (The X-Files) too.

Hello Grapple
a few weeks ago, I translated your article Project A119 into the german Wikipedia. Today I started a candidacy for it to get it promoted to the german counterpart of a Good Article. (de:WP:KLA) I mentioned that I only translated it and that you are the main author. A user asked, if there are more books handling the topic instead of the high number magazine and newspaper articles. Until now I mentioned Carl Sagan - A Live, Critical Assembly: A Technical History of Los Alamos During the Oppenheimer Years, 1943–1945 and Lunar Exploration: Human Pioneers and Robotic Surveyors as source books.

There is no consensus stating that the sentence should stay in the lead. The debate is whether it's "negative" or "mixed". Since this is in disagreement (see the discussions in the talk page, previous to the current one for example), the consensus is clearly not to state either for now to avoid debate.

Every season page but Season 1 marks with asterisks episodes that are generally regarded as not being "Monster of the Week" episodes. This is a discrepancy that must be corrected. If you disagree with the asterisk use and wish to go through the proper channels to discuss it, feel free, don't do it by mutilating valid edits. My opinion on the asterisk use is unstated, but I recognize the importance of protocol when dealing with a controversy like this, and the importance of maintaining consistency throughout the project. Please don't get in the way of that. MarcelB612 ( talk) 02:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your GA review of Chapter 27, I fixed some things.

Hello. I've been recently adding pictures to some of the sixth and seventh episode pages, and a certain admin keeps reverting my edits, telling me that the pictures/screen-captures fail NFCC#8, even though they feature fair-use rationale and are used in the infobox appropriately. His edits are sporadic, and target random articles, such as the ones here and here, and I've tried talking to him, but he is firmly resolved to deleted my additions. Any idea how to fix these issues? I'd hate to leave an article without a picture, because it just looks odd to me.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 03:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I was looking at Terminator 4 page and it says there that Arnold's face likeness was rendered on Kickenger's body using CGI, but Arnold never acted in the T4 movie. The face likeness was recreated in CGI by scanning a mould that was used in the first Terminator movie. According to the reference supporting this [3], Arnold Schwarzenegger only "secretly worked with McG" and approved the final result.
So I believe my edits, which you reverted, are rightful. The text Arnold Schwarzenegger and Roland Kickinger misleads the reader to believe that Arnold actually acted in the movie along with Roland, whereas the modified text Roland Kickinger with CG-rendered likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger correctly conveys that only Roland acted, and Arnold did not, though his likeness was used. (The modified text could be worded more concisely. Perhaps the word facial could be added for more clarity.) I await your input on this, including any references you can provide that shows that I'm wrong. Thanks. -- ADTC Talk Ctrb . 07:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello Grapple X, after a first nomination round for the german version of Project A119 ended without enough feedback I started a second one, were I got a little more feedback until now. There are two questions I cant answer myself so I want to ask if you could do that. The first was if there are any of the press reports from late 1957 reporting about the soviet programm available as an example and the second is do you know who made the freedom of information act request to get the files about the project? -- Bomzibar ( talk) 12:19, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if you have noticed, but I have done the revision. Only {{ EmmyAward ComedyWriting 1976–2000}} really seems to border on needing reworking. However, since nothing else really does, I think I will leave it too. What do you think?-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 06:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Tonight, I am going to start implementing the decades for the episode awards. For some time, I have thought season articles should be linked to the proper subtemplates for {{ ScreenActorsGuildAwards EnsembleTVDrama}}, {{ GoldenGlobeTVDrama}}, and {{ EmmyAward DramaSeries}} or {{ ScreenActorsGuildAwards EnsembleTVComedy}}, {{ GoldenGlobeTVComedy}}, and {{ EmmyAward ComedySeries}}. E.G., The West Wing (season 1) should be linked to {{ ScreenActorsGuildAwards EnsembleTVDrama 2000–2009}}, {{ GoldenGlobeTVDrama 1990–2009}} and {{ EmmyAward DramaSeries 1976–2000}}. I have been trying to think about a way to do this. The first time I brought up the idea, I got no responses. To my surprise, the second time I brought this up, I got a lot of negative feedback. As I look around at episode articles with templates on them, I am wondering if there is another way to approach this? You seemed to have a lot of formatting thoughts, so I am running this by you.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 15:08, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello!
I am a member of WikiProject India and have been working mostly on Indian film articles. Thus, though enrolled today, i am technically a member of WikiProject Film too. But i only came across its newsletter today
over here. The newsletter is a good way of keeping updates of the project. I liked it! Hence though of letting you know that. But frankly speaking i wouldnt have bothered to reach you if i didnt have any problem in it. I did not like the line; "A significant number of these are on Asian cinema—you can help counter systemic bias by reviewing these articles!" that comes in the second point related to ongoing GA reviews. Did you notice that a significant number of them are actually American movies? Not just there, but same case is also seen in "Coming to theaters" section? -

Ah, that makes sense now. I think adding the BBC date in there too might be a good idea. As for the Cinefantastique reviews... boy are they scathing. I think it's on a scale of four stars, but I'm not sure, since none of them have gotten above a three, save "The Unnatural". They gave "X-Cops" (my fav from season 7) a one star and they gave "Roadrunners" (my fav from 8) zero stars. Ouch. But, I guess it's just the opposite side of the coin, and we need those too.-- Gen.

Hi. I'm aware you've worked on a lot of television related topics so I was wondering if you could have a look at a userspace draft of Meat (Torchwood) which I've worked heavily on? I'm hoping to put it forward for selection for WP:Did you know as once I transfer what I have to mainspace it meets the criteria for fivefold prose expansion. What I'm wondering is whether the balance of sources I've used is okay and whether it's neutral enough. I'm aware of some of your episode contributions as well such as Episode 2 (Twin Peaks) - kind of stole the structure of the plot section from that one. This is the first episode article I've worked on significantly and it's an area I'd hope to work on articles more on in future. Thanks for any feedback Eshlare ( talk) 21:21, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I was reviewing some Doctor Who articles and I was wondering: do you think we should maybe one of these days make a unique infobox kind of like this for The X-Files. We could keep "Type" for Myth-arcs or Monsters-of-the-week, but instead of Companions, we could have Monsters-of-the-week. We could also put cites there, because I've noticed that on a lot of the mytharc episodes, it just mentions in the lede that the articles are related to the mythology, but no where in the article body does it mention the info. Anyway, just an idea I had.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 20:26, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi Grapple, I just put latest project into article-space, Clarence 13X. A founder of an American new religious movement (there sure are a lot of those). In case you're interested, it's up for GA or PR, and could probably use a little copyediting. One issue is that he went by three different names over the course of his life, so I'm not sure what to refer to him as. As it stands, I'm referring to him by different names in different sections, which may not be ideal. I saw WP:COMMONNAME, but that raises more questions than it answers for me. In any case, if you're interested, any help would be appreciated. Mark Arsten ( talk) 17:34, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

|season=
field and dropping the "list of episodes" link, so that'd be a good idea. Aside from that kind of thing, just double check the ref formatting is perfect and that any non-free files have solid rationales; make sure there's some alt text for any files. I'm not sure how that works in the case of the video so maybe ask at
WT:FAC how they usually treat video embedding like that. I'd offer to do a source spotcheck when you put it up but it seems Figureskatingfan has already given the sources a looking over at PR so you might not need one (which is a lifesaver, that's been the thing that's held up my past FACs most). If you think it's ready then by all means go for it, but check the changes you've made so far with Figureskatingfan to see if they're what she was after, it might help to have someone basically ready to support the article from the outset. Good luck!

Hello Grapple, I wanted to ask you a favor if possible. I'm going on Holiday between the 3rd and 13th of July and I just wanted to ask if you would mind adding Prometheus (film) to your watchlist or if it's already on there, just keeping an eye on it for vandalism. I'm intending to get it copy edited and sent to GA when I get back so just don't want vandals corrupting refs or info while I'm gone. It seems relatively stable so even after 10 days I might come back and there aren't many edits. If it is on your watchlist I'm simultaneously letting you know that I won't be active in dealing with the vandalism. I've asked the same of Tenebrae and Illazilla though so no pressure.

I still need to finish the series - decided to go back after a long break, last one I've seen Empedocles - but since you asked about "a season I want to go to town on", ,auybe I'll focus on Season 4 - after all, articles such as Teliko, Unruhe and Synchrony (The X-Files) are just there to make sure every episode in the season is represented. Maybe I'll search for books, maybe just get your scans (specially as Gen Quon put that link for magazine stuff), the only certain thing is that I'll try to help when I can.

Hi! When/if you have a second, could you perhaps pull up the ratings for The Office episode seen here (like you did at User talk:Gen. Quon#Re: Getting The Office ball rolling...)? It should be listed under NBC (" Branch Closing" is the article if you're curious). I still don't have access to Highbeam, so your help would be much appreciated!

I know this is a long read, but is the correct interpretation of the whole mythology plot? Did I miss a huge section about time travel and stuff? Or is John Keegan just making things up. http://www.entil2001.com/series/x-files/reviews/season4/4-1.html Just thought I'd ask you. I should probably re-watch the series. I never thought the Colonists were future humans; I thought they were true-blue aliens.-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:01, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
That would've actually been a funny way to retcon everything in the series finale. Mulder is sentenced to death and is going to be killed by firing squad, only to wake up with Kritschgau, Scully, and Skinner staring at him. That would explain why the mythology starts to make no sense, as dreams are rarely straight forward. But Fowley still dies.-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:19, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Grapple X, I was looking through old DYK reviews to find ones that still need someone to re-review or check on a point that had needed fixing and had been addressed by the nominator, when I ran across the Philoctetes double hook. As best I can tell, you have passed it, but there is no tick to indicate this was indeed your decision. Can I ask you to put the formal tick on it (either green, or gray if AGF sources), so people building hook sets can be sure this is ready to go? Many thanks. (And if it isn't ready, please indicate what's still needed, preferably with one of the not-ready icons.) BlueMoonset ( talk) 02:57, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

There was a problem with the length of the article: text copied from previously existing articles, even if edited further, does not count toward the 1500 character requirement.

Hi G. I decided to post here as this isn't really related to the discussion about the film title. I don't know that we need to have consistency across all articles regarding "Camel case" (I had never heard that term before so you taught me something new and that makes it a good day!) While I know the pluses about consistency I kinda like the hodgepodge that WikiP is. At a guess I would bet that there would be a big pushback if anyone tried to change the second e in EastEnders :-) I appreciate your stance on this so I just wanted to add this as food for thought.

I've noticed that a lot of pages on here credit Duchovny as "Recurring" or as a "Guest" in Season 8 (and 9, but that I understand), when in reality, he was fully credited as starring in the episodes he appeared in. Is there a better way to word that, because being a recurring character is what Walter Skinner was in the original 7, Duchovny still starred in Season 8, only in half the episodes.-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 03:04, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
I was looking over Religion in The X-Files the other day, and it struck me as strange that the "religious themes" section relies mostly on "Beyond the Sea", and more about the flipping of the dynamic rather than their religious beliefs (and I dunno, I never really thought that episode had many religious themes either).

This is a note to let the main editors of Manhunter (film) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on August 15, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 15, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Manhunter is a 1986 film based on Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon. Written and directed by Michael Mann, it stars William Petersen as offender profiler Will Graham, Tom Noonan as serial killer Francis Dollarhyde—"The Tooth Fairy"—and features Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor. Manhunter focuses on the forensic work carried out by the FBI to track down the killer and shows the long-term effects that cases like this have on Graham, highlighting the similarities between him and his quarry. The film features heavily stylized use of color to convey this sense of duality, and the nature of the characters' similarity has been explored in academic readings of the film. Opening to mixed reviews, Manhunter fared poorly at the box office at the time of its release, making only $8.6 million in the United States. However, it has been reappraised in more recent reviews and now enjoys a more favorable reception, as both the acting and the stylized visuals have been appreciated better in later years. Its resurgent popularity has seen it labelled as a cult film. ( more...)

With all the X-Files related FA talk... I realized that Bruce Campbell (like, the actor) dedicated an entire (short) chapter of one of his books to his involvement in the series. With me being bored in class I decided to try a little experiment with one of the most lowkey of lowkey FA candidates. A work in (the very early stages) of process... I dunno. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 00:58, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Long-time X-Files fan. The episode in question isn't even one of my favorites episodes... but ehh, you gotta start somewhere. It's certainly no Squeeze. I would go live with that version of the article but I wanted someone to check through it for now. The X-Files goons have an unprecedented streak of work. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 01:42, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
My main involvement on Wikipedia started off working on music related articles and I'm bored out of my mind waiting for some of my other GA nominations to pass before I finish a GA Topic I was planning... I'm not overly-familiar with TV and film related articles, but I'm a fast learner and I brought Darren Aronofsky to GA a while ago. I wanna learn my place in the project first, as I've noticed that The Truth was up for FA so I'd wait a bit before considering anything. Of course I've never worked on an FA before, so I'm weary.
I've looked at the prep page. 5/9 seasons completed, 2 up for nominations with one near the passing point, season 3 one article away... that's some ridiculous work. What's going on with articles like Unruhe and Teliko? I could practice by bringing them up to GA first if no one else is working on them right now. I just wanna be helpful to any way. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 02:19, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Excellent; there's certainly a large source of examples to base what a GA should be, and I'll make sure to adhere to the established template. I'll have some stuff done by tomorrow. Thank you for the help. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 02:45, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm actually shocked at how much content I managed to scuffle together on what is basically a D-list episode. Because of its length I primarily modeled it after the Deep Throat episode article (which, coincidentally, just became a FA literally 20 minutes ago). Bruce Campbell ( talk) 23:04, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah the theme sections isn't very good, since it's not exactly a "deep" episode, and generally a theme section is atleast suggested for a FA. I don't have any X-Files related books so I cant really expand it much further myself, and it's not like Campbell goes into much detail on the subject. Since The Truth is at FA now, I wouldn't want to cockblock it, especially since it doesn't have any supports yet or anything. I'll get a peer review done in the mean time and ask around.
What two articles were you planning to nominate? Bruce Campbell ( talk) 23:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
I actually don't generally work with book references. After combing through some of them I've expanded the article a little bit more. Shockingly, it's actually one of the longer X-Files episode articles now. Is there a proof-reader/copy-editor involved with the project? I actually noticed that none of my edits were showing up on the "recent changes" thingy on the project page. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 01:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much; I requested a peer review too to be thorough. If this doesn't end up a disaster I'd like to nominate further lowkey X-File articles in the future. The X-Files project seems really well put together. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 02:27, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
FYI: I started writing the plot summary to " Sanguinarium" here (I previously wrote "The Walk", "Oubliette", "Teliko", and "The Field Where I Died", though those episodes made more sense). You are welcome to finish it and put it on the page if you'd like. Also, who wants to tackle "Synchrony"? The time travel in that made no sense. Glimmer721 talk 00:20, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I found this site which is a bunch of fans posting the Nielsen Ratings for episodes after they got them from the Nielsen press releases way back when. They list all the information, and, from the bits I've been able to cross-check, it seems legit. Could we get away with not citing the board, but rather the press release themselves?

After reading some of your past messages on the talk page of TBranley as well as in your own talk page, it seems that you're not familiar with what is vandalism on Wikipedia and what is not. The edits by Vjmlhds on List of programs broadcast by Fox were not vandalism. They were edit-warring and content dispute. Edit-warring is disruptive editing, not vandalism. Please read Wikipedia:Vandalism to see what is considered vandalism on Wikipedia. Thank you. Farine ( talk) 02:02, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

I saw the film on video many years ago, well before Silence and the "remake" - I found the remake terrible compared to the original. Manhunter was more "realistic" I thought and much more terrifying, much more similar to how I imagined serial killers like Dahmer and Nilson would be - no warning and suddenly you're in their cook-pot!

Hi, having just reverted some changes to budget figures and the page title which are part of the pattern of long term edit-warring on this article, I am puzzled as to why you raised this as an issue for stability but later decided to ignore it and class the article as GA. I have added a comment to the GA review and if the page requires protection (yet again) I would be prepared to put the article up for reassessment as being too unstable to be validly classed as GA. Perhaps you could clarify your conclusion in the GA review? Thanks Fæ ( talk) 05:03, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for sorting the plot out. Good work on Manhunter by the way, sorry it didn't get through its first go at FAC. -- Beloved Freak 17:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
re: your edit comment - I disagree, actually. I think footnotes are much more cumbersome for this sort of reference (and really, we're not exactly citing anything. We're internally linking a plot point to the article it refers to). I understand how it might look intrusive, but I think that's because most Wikipedia plot summaries don't have enough real-world perspective. Referring explicitly to other works in the series should be encouraged, not avoided. And actually, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction)#Plot summaries specifically recommends this style. With that last point in mind, especially, I think it would be best to restore the inline references. Thoughts? -- Fru1tbat ( talk) 21:20, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

It's too trivial to fix one way or the other, but both "cancelled" (UK) and "canceled" (US) are acceptable spellings. In US spelling, normally you would not double a consonant on an unstressed syllable.
Given that Batman is a US title, some would argue that the US spelling should be preferred (assuming the rest of the article consistently uses US spelling). CüRlyTüRkey Talk Contribs 23:29, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
Just so you know, substantial comments probably shouldn't be marked as minor, like you did here. Some people set their watchlist so that minor edits aren't shown, and then they'd miss your comment.

Wasn't as good as I'd expected to be honest but worth a view. They definitely got the appearances and scenario as good as they possibly could have.It sort of takes you back in time to 1994/5. I'd have much rather it was about the killing itself rather than the aftermath! West was dressed exactly like him, Rosemary spitting image, it could have been her herself for all I knew, but Dominic West is certainly NOT convincing as a serial killer. If Fred really was like the way he portrayed him hardly surprising so many women fell for him. But West is a great actor and spoke to Janet Leach herself a lot about Fred's mannerisms, so maybe on the surface he did appear a nice guy but underneath a complete sadistic nutcase! Rosemary it seems though was the particularly cruel one. It really does bring the memories back I remember when it was on the news back in 1994 and I remember at the time I was playing the computer game Pang a lot on my Commodre 64! Somewhat bizarrely I still associate the spooky music on the Mt Fuji level with girls found under the patio and in the bathroom walls and that horrid peach orange dilapidated house! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:22, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I've made edits to the article based on your suggestions... I've added a development section, although it's pretty bare bones given the lack of information available about the game (at least in English). I did use NinDB as a reference for both the allusions in Pokémon and Kirby, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a reliable source (it's not on Wikipedia's list of sources). I also added the page number to the SSBM guide source. Do you think the article is up for C-status or is there more I should do? -- ThomasO1989 ( talk) 04:54, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Given you offered your services/sources, I'd be thankful if you added more info on "The Host", - though I think your sources are already there (and I also put something I've seen in the DVD documentary). And maybe on Little Green Men (The X-Files) too. (among the many articles on my "to do list"... the fact I should be busy IRL and have 4 - though one is being reviewed - articles on the GAN shows I shouldn't hurry) Hope you'll find the time/motivation to put the above topic on the GTC too! igordebraga ≠ 04:42, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Grapple
a few weeks ago, I translated your article Project A119 into the german Wikipedia. Today I started a candidacy for it to get it promoted to the german counterpart of a Good Article. (de:WP:KLA) I mentioned that I only translated it and that you are the main author. A user asked, if there are more books handling the topic instead of the high number magazine and newspaper articles. Until now I mentioned Carl Sagan - A Live, Critical Assembly: A Technical History of Los Alamos During the Oppenheimer Years, 1943–1945 and Lunar Exploration: Human Pioneers and Robotic Surveyors as source books. Do you know more books about about Project A119? Thank you very much. -- Bomzibar ( talk) 19:26, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
The Nomination sadly ended without a result because there were not enough people voting. -- Bomzibar ( talk) 08:31, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
There is no consensus stating that the sentence should stay in the lead. The debate is whether it's "negative" or "mixed". Since this is in disagreement (see the discussions in the talk page, previous to the current one for example), the consensus is clearly not to state either for now to avoid debate. Please self revert - your reasoning was false. 94.230.85.129 ( talk) 16:08, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

We have a prerogative to maintain consistency throughout articles in the project. Every season page but Season 1 marks with asterisks episodes that are generally regarded as not being "Monster of the Week" episodes. This is a discrepancy that must be corrected. If you disagree with the asterisk use and wish to go through the proper channels to discuss it, feel free, don't do it by mutilating valid edits. My opinion on the asterisk use is unstated, but I recognize the importance of protocol when dealing with a controversy like this, and the importance of maintaining consistency throughout the project. Please don't get in the way of that. MarcelB612 ( talk) 02:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I've been recently adding pictures to some of the sixth and seventh episode pages, and a certain admin keeps reverting my edits, telling me that the pictures/screen-captures fail NFCC#8, even though they feature fair-use rationale and are used in the infobox appropriately. His edits are sporadic, and target random articles, such as the ones here and here, and I've tried talking to him, but he is firmly resolved to deleted my additions. Any idea how to fix these issues?

I was looking at Terminator 4 page and it says there that Arnold's face likeness was rendered on Kickenger's body using CGI, but Arnold never acted in the T4 movie. The face likeness was recreated in CGI by scanning a mould that was used in the first Terminator movie. According to the reference supporting this [3], Arnold Schwarzenegger only "secretly worked with McG" and approved the final result.
So I believe my edits, which you reverted, are rightful. The text Arnold Schwarzenegger and Roland Kickinger misleads the reader to believe that Arnold actually acted in the movie along with Roland, whereas the modified text Roland Kickinger with CG-rendered likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger correctly conveys that only Roland acted, and Arnold did not, though his likeness was used. (The modified text could be worded more concisely. Perhaps the word facial could be added for more clarity.) I await your input on this, including any references you can provide that shows that I'm wrong. Thanks. -- ADTC Talk Ctrb . 07:31, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello Grapple X, after a first nomination round for the german version of Project A119 ended without enough feedback I started a second one, were I got a little more feedback until now. There are two questions I cant answer myself so I want to ask if you could do that. The first was if there are any of the press reports from late 1957 reporting about the soviet programm available as an example and the second is do you know who made the freedom of information act request to get the files about the project? -- Bomzibar ( talk) 12:19, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if you have noticed, but I have done the revision. Only {{ EmmyAward ComedyWriting 1976–2000}} really seems to border on needing reworking. However, since nothing else really does, I think I will leave it too. What do you think?-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 06:00, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Tonight, I am going to start implementing the decades for the episode awards. For some time, I have thought season articles should be linked to the proper subtemplates for {{ ScreenActorsGuildAwards EnsembleTVDrama}}, {{ GoldenGlobeTVDrama}}, and {{ EmmyAward DramaSeries}} or {{ ScreenActorsGuildAwards EnsembleTVComedy}}, {{ GoldenGlobeTVComedy}}, and {{ EmmyAward ComedySeries}}. E.G., The West Wing (season 1) should be linked to {{ ScreenActorsGuildAwards EnsembleTVDrama 2000–2009}}, {{ GoldenGlobeTVDrama 1990–2009}} and {{ EmmyAward DramaSeries 1976–2000}}. I have been trying to think about a way to do this. The first time I brought up the idea, I got no responses. To my surprise, the second time I brought this up, I got a lot of negative feedback. As I look around at episode articles with templates on them, I am wondering if there is another way to approach this? You seemed to have a lot of formatting thoughts, so I am running this by you.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 15:08, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Also, I'm finished compiling the PDF of the Complete X-Files, but it's huge, so I might have to send it in chunks.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 19:47, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
Along the lines of "Judaism in Rugrats", I think a "Religion in The X-Files" would be a really interesting article to writer.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 00:58, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I have a quick question. Does the liner notes of your DVDs give the airdates for when the episode aired in the United Kingdom? I can't seem to find them on mine, just the American dates.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 13:37, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Ah, that makes sense now. I think adding the BBC date in there too might be a good idea. As for the Cinefantastique reviews... boy are they scathing. I think it's on a scale of four stars, but I'm not sure, since none of them have gotten above a three, save "The Unnatural". They gave "X-Cops" (my fav from season 7) a one star and they gave "Roadrunners" (my fav from 8) zero stars. Ouch. But, I guess it's just the opposite side of the coin, and we need those too.-- Gen.

I just got Examinations from my library and let me say, it is awesome: there is so much production info and interesting factoids tucked in that book (stuff that could really help expand season 9, too). I'll send you the scans ASAP.-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 02:41, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Also found this, LAX-Files: Behind the Scenes With the Los Angeles Cast and Crew, which has TONS of production info for seasons 6-9 as well.

It looks like seasons 8 and 9 will shape up rather nicely after all!-- Gen. Quon ( talk) 21:00, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Some sad news. My library was unable to interlibrary loan the LAX book, so I might just have to save up the money and just buy it. It will probably take a bit though. I guess in the mean time, there's always the (limited) Amazon preview. :( -- Gen. Quon ( talk) 16:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Hey, dropping in here (have you seen the Signpost interview, by the way?), I was wondering if either of you were interested in the season articles? I haven't seen anything past season 2 yet (though I'm planning to rent 3 from the library soon, I'm just missing a few episodes from 1 and 2), but I did work a little on the article and could probably carry over information from episode articles to other seasons like I did there. What more would be needed for the production section in season 2? Glimmer721 talk 00:22, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I'm aware you've worked on a lot of television related topics so I was wondering if you could have a look at a userspace draft of Meat (Torchwood) which I've worked heavily on? I'm hoping to put it forward for selection for WP:Did you know as once I transfer what I have to mainspace it meets the criteria for fivefold prose expansion. What I'm wondering is whether the balance of sources I've used is okay and whether it's neutral enough. I'm aware of some of your episode contributions as well such as Episode 2 (Twin Peaks) - kind of stole the structure of the plot section from that one.

I was reviewing some Doctor Who articles and I was wondering: do you think we should maybe one of these days make a unique infobox kind of like this for The X-Files. We could keep "Type" for Myth-arcs or Monsters-of-the-week, but instead of Companions, we could have Monsters-of-the-week. We could also put cites there, because I've noticed that on a lot of the mytharc episodes, it just mentions in the lede that the articles are related to the mythology, but no where in the article body does it mention the info.

Dude, it wasn't just my personal Opinion. I linked to the published article by Leigh Paatch that openly stated it was prequel, following the release of the trailer.... This was even before the "Yutani" viral video with Noomi was released. I practically spat out what I was drinking when "Weyland" followed by "Yutani" showed up.

Hi Grapple, I just put latest project into article-space, Clarence 13X. A founder of an American new religious movement (there sure are a lot of those). In case you're interested, it's up for GA or PR, and could probably use a little copyediting. One issue is that he went by three different names over the course of his life, so I'm not sure what to refer to him as. As it stands, I'm referring to him by different names in different sections, which may not be ideal. I saw WP:COMMONNAME, but that raises more questions than it answers for me.

field and dropping the "list of episodes" link, so that'd be a good idea. Aside from that kind of thing, just double check the ref formatting is perfect and that any non-free files have solid rationales; make sure there's some alt text for any files. I'm not sure how that works in the case of the video so maybe ask at
WT:FAC how they usually treat video embedding like that. I'd offer to do a source spotcheck when you put it up but it seems Figureskatingfan has already given the sources a looking over at PR so you might not need one (which is a lifesaver, that's been the thing that's held up my past FACs most). If you think it's ready then by all means go for it, but check the changes you've made so far with Figureskatingfan to see if they're what she was after, it might help to have someone basically ready to support the article from the outset. Good luck!

Hello Grapple, I wanted to ask you a favor if possible. I'm going on Holiday between the 3rd and 13th of July and I just wanted to ask if you would mind adding Prometheus (film) to your watchlist or if it's already on there, just keeping an eye on it for vandalism. I'm intending to get it copy edited and sent to GA when I get back so just don't want vandals corrupting refs or info while I'm gone. It seems relatively stable so even after 10 days I might come back and there aren't many edits. If it is on your watchlist I'm simultaneously letting you know that I won't be active in dealing with the vandalism. I've asked the same of Tenebrae and Illazilla though so no pressure. I mean all the cool people are doing it but if you don't want to that's ok. No pressure. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 16:10, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
I still need to finish the series - decided to go back after a long break, last one I've seen Empedocles - but since you asked about "a season I want to go to town on", ,auybe I'll focus on Season 4 - after all, articles such as Teliko, Unruhe and Synchrony (The X-Files) are just there to make sure every episode in the season is represented. Maybe I'll search for books, maybe just get your scans (specially as Gen Quon put that link for magazine stuff), the only certain thing is that I'll try to help when I can. (though unlike you I can't use the articles for WikiCup points anymore...) Also, nice to see some extra recognition! :) igordebraga ≠ 19:08, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

I know this is a long read, but is the correct interpretation of the whole mythology plot? Did I miss a huge section about time travel and stuff? Or is John Keegan just making things up. http://www.entil2001.com/series/x-files/reviews/season4/4-1.html Just thought I'd ask you. I should probably re-watch the series. I never thought the Colonists were future humans; I thought they were true-blue aliens.-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:01, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
That would've actually been a funny way to retcon everything in the series finale. Mulder is sentenced to death and is going to be killed by firing squad, only to wake up with Kritschgau, Scully, and Skinner staring at him. That would explain why the mythology starts to make no sense, as dreams are rarely straight forward. But Fowley still dies.-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:19, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Grapple X, I was looking through old DYK reviews to find ones that still need someone to re-review or check on a point that had needed fixing and had been addressed by the nominator, when I ran across the Philoctetes double hook. As best I can tell, you have passed it, but there is no tick to indicate this was indeed your decision. Can I ask you to put the formal tick on it (either green, or gray if AGF sources), so people building hook sets can be sure this is ready to go? Many thanks.

Hi G. I decided to post here as this isn't really related to the discussion about the film title. I don't know that we need to have consistency across all articles regarding "Camel case" (I had never heard that term before so you taught me something new and that makes it a good day!) While I know the pluses about consistency I kinda like the hodgepodge that WikiP is. At a guess I would bet that there would be a big pushback if anyone tried to change the second e in EastEnders :-) I appreciate your stance on this so I just wanted to add this as food for thought.

I've noticed that a lot of pages on here credit Duchovny as "Recurring" or as a "Guest" in Season 8 (and 9, but that I understand), when in reality, he was fully credited as starring in the episodes he appeared in. Is there a better way to word that, because being a recurring character is what Walter Skinner was in the original 7, Duchovny still starred in Season 8, only in half the episodes.-- Gen.

I was looking over Religion in The X-Files the other day, and it struck me as strange that the "religious themes" section relies mostly on "Beyond the Sea", and more about the flipping of the dynamic rather than their religious beliefs (and I dunno, I never really thought that episode had many religious themes either).

This is a note to let the main editors of Manhunter (film) know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on August 15, 2012. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 15, 2012. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 ( talk · contribs) or his delegate Dabomb87 ( talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:
Manhunter is a 1986 film based on Thomas Harris's novel Red Dragon. Written and directed by Michael Mann, it stars William Petersen as offender profiler Will Graham, Tom Noonan as serial killer Francis Dollarhyde—"The Tooth Fairy"—and features Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecktor. Manhunter focuses on the forensic work carried out by the FBI to track down the killer and shows the long-term effects that cases like this have on Graham, highlighting the similarities between him and his quarry. The film features heavily stylized use of color to convey this sense of duality, and the nature of the characters' similarity has been explored in academic readings of the film. Opening to mixed reviews, Manhunter fared poorly at the box office at the time of its release, making only $8.6 million in the United States. However, it has been reappraised in more recent reviews and now enjoys a more favorable reception, as both the acting and the stylized visuals have been appreciated better in later years. Its resurgent popularity has seen it labelled as a cult film. ( more...)

Long-time X-Files fan. The episode in question isn't even one of my favorites episodes... but ehh, you gotta start somewhere. It's certainly no Squeeze. I would go live with that version of the article but I wanted someone to check through it for now. The X-Files goons have an unprecedented streak of work. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 01:42, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
My main involvement on Wikipedia started off working on music related articles and I'm bored out of my mind waiting for some of my other GA nominations to pass before I finish a GA Topic I was planning... I'm not overly-familiar with TV and film related articles, but I'm a fast learner and I brought Darren Aronofsky to GA a while ago. I wanna learn my place in the project first, as I've noticed that The Truth was up for FA so I'd wait a bit before considering anything. Of course I've never worked on an FA before, so I'm weary.
I've looked at the prep page. 5/9 seasons completed, 2 up for nominations with one near the passing point, season 3 one article away... that's some ridiculous work. What's going on with articles like Unruhe and Teliko? I could practice by bringing them up to GA first if no one else is working on them right now. I just wanna be helpful to any way. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 02:19, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Excellent; there's certainly a large source of examples to base what a GA should be, and I'll make sure to adhere to the established template. I'll have some stuff done by tomorrow. Thank you for the help. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 02:45, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm actually shocked at how much content I managed to scuffle together on what is basically a D-list episode. Because of its length I primarily modeled it after the Deep Throat episode article (which, coincidentally, just became a FA literally 20 minutes ago). Bruce Campbell ( talk) 23:04, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Yeah the theme sections isn't very good, since it's not exactly a "deep" episode, and generally a theme section is atleast suggested for a FA. I don't have any X-Files related books so I cant really expand it much further myself, and it's not like Campbell goes into much detail on the subject. Since The Truth is at FA now, I wouldn't want to cockblock it, especially since it doesn't have any supports yet or anything. I'll get a peer review done in the mean time and ask around.
What two articles were you planning to nominate? Bruce Campbell ( talk) 23:33, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
I actually don't generally work with book references. After combing through some of them I've expanded the article a little bit more. Shockingly, it's actually one of the longer X-Files episode articles now. Is there a proof-reader/copy-editor involved with the project? I actually noticed that none of my edits were showing up on the "recent changes" thingy on the project page. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 01:39, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much; I requested a peer review too to be thorough. If this doesn't end up a disaster I'd like to nominate further lowkey X-File articles in the future. The X-Files project seems really well put together. Bruce Campbell ( talk) 02:27, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
FYI: I started writing the plot summary to " Sanguinarium" here (I previously wrote "The Walk", "Oubliette", "Teliko", and "The Field Where I Died", though those episodes made more sense). You are welcome to finish it and put it on the page if you'd like. Also, who wants to tackle "Synchrony"? The time travel in that made no sense. Glimmer721 talk 00:20, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
I can work on "Synchrony" if you guys want me to. I'd probably start late next week. We need to get season 4 done, as it's one of the best seasons! :P-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 01:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Grapple X. I've seen your work at FAC, and was wondering if you could review Sadie Harris at its featured article candidacy? Thanks, TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 21:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
I addressed all of your concerns. TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
Further reviewing has been done of Sadie Harris, and I was wondering if you would consider supporting/opposing the article's promotion. TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 00:17, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Grapple, I was wondering why Chrisye and related articles are showing as GTs on the talk page and not FTs. — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 03:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
I just wanted to let you know that I will get around to those, but I have a huge Latin test on Monday, so I will probably not be super active this weekend. I'm sorry if that causes any issues, but I thought you should know so that you don't think I abandoned them. ;)-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 17:33, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Are you at all familiar with abductive reasoning? I found a very interesting source here (p. 189) that talks about it in " Field Trip". I added it to the "Themes" section, but I wanted to make sure it makes sense. If you have any time, could you give it a quick look-over and see if it makes sense to you? I think I understand what it means, but I don't want to misrepresent the source material. Thanks!-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:50, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Grapples. I don't know if this interview maybe of any use for the article. Mark Kermode asks a few questions about Eraserhead, although it's more focused on Inland Empire. Lugnuts And the horse 07:07, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I am just about to leave A-Class comments for "Gender Bender". Would you mind adding A-class review comments for Awake (TV series). "Two Birds" isn't ready just yet. Cheers, TBr and ley 01:22, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
I found this site which is a bunch of fans posting the Nielsen Ratings for episodes after they got them from the Nielsen press releases way back when. They list all the information, and, from the bits I've been able to cross-check, it seems legit. Could we get away with not citing the board, but rather the press release themselves? Such as: "{{cite press release |title=Whatever the title is |publisher=[[Nielsen Soundscan]]|date=14 January 2001|accessdate=19 September 2012}}" for this one, etc. What do you think?-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:53, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
You have new A-Class comments at "Gender Bender". Also, I replied at A-Class review for Awake. Cheers, TBr and ley 03:32, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey Grapple X. I noticed you applied for a triple crown upgrade around the same time as I did. It's been almost a month since our requests. Who is entitled to award triple crowns? By this, I mean can we award the triple crowns to each other or is there a group of editors assigned to do it? TRLIJC19 ( talk • contribs) 15:32, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry to bug you, but is there anyway you could take a quick scan over the above articles for the A-Class review? Since "The Office" has returned its sucked up quite a bit of my energy, but I'd like to dive back into those. Thanks!-- Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:16, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

After reading some of your past messages on the talk page of TBranley as well as in your own talk page, it seems that you're not familiar with what is vandalism on Wikipedia and what is not. The edits by Vjmlhds on List of programs broadcast by Fox were not vandalism. They were edit-warring and content dispute. Edit-warring is disruptive editing, not vandalism. Please read Wikipedia:Vandalism to see what is considered vandalism on Wikipedia. Thank you. Farine ( talk) 02:02, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I have no problem that you reverted my close, since you were in the middle of reviewing. However, it is not appropriate to leave the ACR open too long with no activity – there are guidelines written on the ACR center that contest this.

I don't know how to do the fancy neutral notice template, but you've probably seen there is a discussion at the above with the same user that there was a similar discussion with almost if not exactly a year ago about the current plot versus a substantially modified version. It's a case of he said, he said so it won't go anywhere with 2 users, so if you are willing to supply some neutral input it would be appreciated.

Hello Grapple! There is an edit warring situation at an article page you promoted to GA status.
