Special:Contributions/Lolololol4567, to see if someone is watching. Don't change the Awdry article though, please, since those edits are actually correct. But the Mickey Rooney ones aren't and were reverted. We'll see if certain other articles get edited, doncha know. :) --‖ Ebyabe talk - Inspector General ‖ 15:11, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
That's cool! I was checking links and worrying about a source, and plumb forgot the italics. The DW phrasing is far better. I wasn't happy with mine, and figured you'd be along. Mille grazie!! -- Drmargi ( talk) 19:40, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
I noticed in the past you would revert edits that you didn't like, such as ones that removed the phrase "popular and well-known TV show". Wikipedia is supposed to have Neutral Point Of View articles, saying "popular and well-known TV show" IS a personal opinion; without a reference to back it up it is considered a personal opinion. I don't mind removing the statement everytime you revert the edit, I saved the article to my USB drive anyway so if you revert a lot of edits that remove personal opinions I will just copy the article from my USB drive and paste it, since, once again, Wikipedia's articles are supposed to be Neutral Point Of View (please see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view in order to understand this; if you do understand this then please demonstrate that you understand by accepting edits that remove statements such as "popular and well-known TV show". 209.202.109.146 ( talk) 14:56, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, but to be fair, I was kind of taunting him a little. I should probably stop doing that. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:26, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
MD, would you take a peek at the Production section of the article for Immortality (CSI)? Is it me, or is it getting really, really fancrufty? Gracie!! -- Drmargi ( talk) 00:28, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
OK, I just took a good whack at cutting down the excess in the article. They also have listed the film as having two episodes, not realizing that it's shot so it can be broken into two episodes for later syndication. That should start a small war, I daresay. Meanwhile, i found three sentence worth keeping in the production section. Someone with a love affair with Twitter fancruft won't be pleased, I fear. -- Drmargi ( talk) 16:42, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
Could you provide a 3rd opinion on gazprompt's latest change in the lead? Personally I think the original formulation is still the most appropriate, but I don't he will listen to an argument just by me.
So an uninvolved 3rd opinion might settle the issue either way. So whether we should keep the original version ( [1]) or the current one by gazprompt ( [2]).

Courtesy of my LOVEFiLM subscription, I am currently watching
The Killing (Danish TV series), Series One. It is excellent. Have you seen it?
There was an American remake; was that good? Cheers! — |

That's because I removed a self-published book. I've suggested a good source on the talk page but due to edit warring I thought I'd wait to add it. Doug Weller ( talk) 16:08, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Dr Margi and M. You both wrote earlier, just before the BBC began showing it, praising this series. I agree; it is better than the first two. I am still reeling from last night's episode 4. Fantastic viewing.
Hope you both have a great Sunday! — |

Do you have any magic spray alongside the Troll-Be-Gone that will deal with an IP who can't tell William Shatner from Patrick Stewart? Sigh... -- Drmargi ( talk) 07:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
You have asked me in the past to no longer post to your talk page, and I have honored that request. That said, I am attempting to make amends with those whom I have had clashed in the past and for what I cannot even remember the clashes were in regard to. While I have always wanted to work with other Wikipedians as collegially as possible, things happen, stuff gets said, tempers flare, and sometimes it looks like turning back the clock is impossible. I have always respected your editing and your comments, even if I disagree with what you have to say or why you feel a particular edit is the correct one. To make a long story short, this is me holding out an olive branch and hoping you will accept it. Like I said, I don't even remember what we clashed on or why -- and that tells me that I have let whatever it was that made us Wiki-enemies go. My hope is that you can do the same and we can move on from here. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 19:57, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

For removing the protection icons from articles where protection has expired. Day after day, week after week, by hand. Your hard work in this minor but important matter is much appreciated. (P.S. I wonder if someone can write a bot to do this? Because you do lots of other, more interesting stuff here too.) MelanieN ( talk) 16:40, 28 August 2015 (UTC) |
Good, they're blocked. That was fast. :) Now back to watching this guy. If you thought it was difficult getting through to FF2, that's almost minor compared to this'n. :) --‖ Ebyabe talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 23:38, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi Marnette, will you please reinstitute protection of the ANTM 22 page? The page protection just ended a few hours ago and the vandals are going crazy on there already. I ask (again) that it be considered for protection until the end of the finale - not just 3 days. But, if we have to protect it three days at a time for the next two months, so be it. Thanks SchoolMarm101 ( talk) 17:25, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Why does everyone keep changing the year dates back to the incorrect ones? (examples: 1. Hoppity Hopper began in 1964 and ended in 1967, not 1961-1966 regarding the Jay Ward Productions article and certainly not 1961-1975 regarding the Hoppity Hopper article; and 2. Fractured Flickers first aired in 1963, not 1962.) I just found out that Jay Ward was only involved with Crusader Rabbit during the B&W episodes from 1950-1952. My other question is why does the Jay Ward Productions article list the live-action and/or hand drawn/CGI films and shorts based on its works if Jay Ward Productions didn't make them? (the films were made by Management Company Entertainment Group, Disney, Mandeville Films, Avnet/Kerner Productions, Universal Studios, Davis Entertainment, Joseph Singer Entertainment, Capella/KC Medien, Tribeca Productions, Wild Brain Productions, Kerner Entertainment Company, and DreamWorks Animation, and the Fractured Fairy Tales theatrical short The Phox, The Box, and The Lox was made by Universal Cartoon Studios/Universal Animation Studios) 24.180.56.157 ( talk) 23:23, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Also, how come on the list of cartoons produced by Jay Ward Productions section keeps removing the episode of The New 3 Stooges entitled "That Little Old Bomb Maker"? Cambria Productions contracted the episode to Jay Ward Productions. 24.180.56.157 ( talk) 23:30, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Why did you remove the mention of StarToons doing a few scenes in one episode of Tiny Toons animated by Encore Cartoons? 24.180.56.157 ( talk) 23:34, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Why did you revert it back to the previous one? 24.180.56.157 ( talk) 16:30, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
Hey! "Great minds ..." Thanks for the kind words. Guess now I'll have to go find a slice of cheescake! Best, Markhh ( talk) 21:15, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
I got an email (dated Sept 3, yeah I'm great about checking on that stuff) saying that my "Wikipedia p***ing contest" (I don't curse here) with Cvanderdonk has resulted in me being called out on Twitter by a movie star. Since van der Donk is not one, I assume it's D'Onofrio? I did some searching on Twitter and could find nothing to that effect. If true, I am thoroughly amused. If not, trying to scare me is so not working. Haven't heard anything on that front for a while. Oh wel, la-la-la. :) --‖ Ebyabe talk - State of the Union ‖ 23:30, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello MarnetteD,
Sir, I shall appreciate, if you remove Category:Indian choreographers and Category:Indian film choreographers ( Rajeev is cinematographer not choreographer) instead I shall be very happy that if you put my article on these categories:

Hello MarnetteD, Sorry to report that our "rape addict" has surfaced again on The Searchers Talk page and Chato's Land, this time using IP 109.151.68.104. This person is seriously disturbed. I will inform Ponyo for action. Best regards, David, David J Johnson ( talk) 21:45, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Lately, I've struggled a bit with burnout in HK films, and when I've been there, I've worked more on writing plots than fighting vandalism. I wanted to 1) thank you for all your efforts to clean them up and 2) apologize for not being as active there. I know firsthand how frustrating and tedious it can be to track and revert this HK vandal. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 18:08, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for watchlisting that stallion article; I'm kind of busy right now with this and not in a position to do much that requires vandal-chasing. I was wondering if we can get permanent semi on that article, seems the minute semi goes off the trolls return. Your thoughts? Montanabw (talk) 03:14, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi MarnetteD,
WP:PROD is very clear that prods cannot be restored once removed. Please stop trying to restore contested prods. A reason does not need to be given for a prod to be removed. Once it is removed, the article can still be deleted, but an WP:AFD discussion is required. Please start an AFD discussion for those Beyblade articles if you think they should be deleted.
