I can't resist asking, are you related to Mister Sparkley at all? -- Demiurge1000 ( talk) 12:40, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for looking into the changes made to this page. You would not believe the strife that has been on the Amazon.com entry for this film. I guess it is a lightening rod for those with rather extreme views. Bill Pollard ( talk) 22:10, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

These are informal warnings. I would have just templated your ass. — They should stick that on a template!. Betty Logan ( talk) 18:30, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

User VasOling on The Dark Knight Rises article insists on saying it received "a warm critical response" in the lede. And that it received positive reviews from "most" critics. I believe this is against practice on most film articles, as "most" is arguably incorrect. Eng Wikipedia has its systemic bias; most contributors are people from Western civilization educated enough to speak English, and so are English sources used. We don't know what critics outside this group say. I want to wrap this up as soon as possible. I'm starting a talk page discussion as we speak, but he has a history of edit warring, so I'm not sure if he's going to listen. I've reverted him once already. Anthonydraco ( talk) 03:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Could I ask for your input on the drive-by GA nomination of Skyfall? The thread can be found here. Many thanks - SchroCat ( talk) 15:13, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

So, you are a Smallville fan, yet don't know that the show is now continued in a comic book series written by one of the show's writers?

Back at you! Star Trek into Darkness (or is that Star Trek Into Darkness?) will seem like a welcome relief when it finally arrives. drewmunn ( talk) 14:36, 10 January 2013 (UTC) |
A very kind gesture, and much appreciated. I'm glad we could disagree on a bit of text phrasing and still work with mutual respect — that's what it's all about. And for the record, I agree with you that the closing admin might have been too narrow in his thinking. What I'm basically seeing is two editors who were insistent about rigidity to a guideline that, in this case, flies in the face of reason. And the fact that those of us who feel differently are taking it in good stride and in perspective makes me, nonetheless, continue to feel proud to be part of this community, a community that, I think, has been maturing over the last couple of years in particular.

Thanks for the Barnstar, I have to be honest and say that it came as a welcome surprise since I had been feeling a little down on account of the fact that it seems like its been forever since someone awarded me one :) As to the discussion, I am sorry to see that the proposed move of Star Trek into Darkness descended into darkness, but as the Narada demonstrated in the reboot there is always a light at the end of the black hole ;) Take care, and although it's a little late, Happy New YEar all the same.

Thanks for the heads-up re: the tv series Revolution. I had already decided from episode one that I won't be watching it but out of curioisty I wondered why they had no steam power.
My understanding is that the earliest of cars didn't require electricity either (having hand cranks for the engine).
This improbable lack of use lead me to give up on that series after one episode... given that the US has high education standards there would be enough people around to know how to operate these.
Montalban ( talk) 21:32, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I had the same problem with The Walking Dead - if I accept a premise of a world full of zombies I didn't understand why the deputy would walk about with a single six-shot revolve (he had a shot-gun, but he kept that in the car's boot/trunk).
In a nation of high gun-ownership I would have expected he'd have several guns on him at the same time. Even the camp outside Atlanta, they had a single man with a shotgun on only one of the caravans/trailers who wouldn’t have been able to see the whole perimeter… and other people in the camp didn’t have guns.
But with ‘’Revolution’’, if I accept the premise of a world without electrical power it made no sense that an 'expert at death' as the ex-Marine uncle was would be an expert with swords... although he's had 15 years to learn and practice, he would stand-out.
I also found the confrontation in the village at the beginning illogical where people with farm implements would have pressed against the militia - and one just knew that the father was going to die - of course his son would completely ignore him and not put the weapon down even though the father was in the direct line of fire. The rebellious teen seems to have carried on into this post modern world. Even the daughter was stereotypical in that regards... selfish and strong-willed.
I found the writing poor. The only thing I liked was the doctor with the poison whiskey bottle - a very clever idea, and unexpected to me the viewer.
I am glad you enjoy it. Perhaps it's going to go into further seasons???
I put up with two seasons of ‘’Lost’’ and, ‘’Lost Girl’’ before abandoning them. I still like ‘’Fringe’’.
I appreciate your feedback. Montalban ( talk) 22:50, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

You're a collegial and gracious editor, with the rare gift of calm steadiness that helps temper heated discussion. As well, you show confident boldness in the equally rare occasions it's truly needed. With thanks for your endeavors, Tenebrae ( talk) 23:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC) |
He asked me to drop you a note. It's probably best if you just leave him alone. He is allowed to blank messages from his talk page; it's not an awesome way of doing things, but he's within his rights, and he's within his rights to ask you not to post on his talk page. If he has a grudge, let him have a grudge in peace. It's a wide Wikipedia, no need to get all up in his business about it, right? :) Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 00:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Montalban (

I know saying "styled as Star Trek Into Darkness" isn't perfect, but it's a compromise that does the important task of getting the real-world title in the lead so that Wikipedia doesn't look like we're completely detached. And one could even make an argument for its being "styled" or "stylized" (either works for me) since in proper grammar it would either be lowercase i or have a colon. What do you say? Could you see your way clear to self-reverting and leaving the compromise version in. At least two editors are for it, and Rob Sinden isn't against it. Think of what it could mean if, for now, we could all meet halfway. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 00:43, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, MisterShiney, and thank you for your contributions!
An article you worked on MisterShiney/Administrator NoticeBoards, appears to be directly copied from http://wikipedia.7val.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard. Please take a minute to make sure that the text is freely licensed and properly attributed as a reference, otherwise the article may be deleted.
It's entirely possible that this bot made a mistake, so please feel free to remove this notice and the tag it placed on MisterShiney/Administrator NoticeBoards if necessary. MadmanBot ( talk) 20:11, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on MisterShiney/Administrator NoticeBoards, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your bad faith comments attacking me specifically were pretty dumb, Shiney. Kinda makes me glad that you are sem-retired. Perhaps you could take the final step and wander off iun search of something - well, shiny - to amuse you? Good luck in future endeavors, Shiney. And - how did you put it - oh yes: 'don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out'. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 01:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Regarding your edit here, if you want to know why the heading was changed, you can look through the page's edit history (much as I did to find your reversion of it) and see what my rationale was in my edit summary. That heading Jack Sebastian chose was not in keeping with WP:CIV or WP:NPA, and he flat-out admitted to me that he chose it to be provocative. Please use only titles that reflect the content of the discussion's topic, and not which comment on other users. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 17:59, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
To MisterShiny: Perhaps no one took steps because it was borderline enough for them to hesitate (as he did address a particular editor), or because the size of the entire talk page free-for-all scared off those who simply didn't want to touch it with a ten meter targ scoop.
And to reiterate what I said to Jack, if an admin feels that some edit violates WP:CIV, then refactoring it, in some types of cases, is precisely one of the things they are empowered to do. However, I did not refactor your post, as I merely changed the heading. Headings are not proprietary. Thanks to both of you. Nightscream ( talk) 20:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

It was proved as they talked about it on the official site and facebook. The Director and Writer held up signs for it to prove it if you READ it. So yes you were lying or too lazy to check.

I had the same problem with The Walking Dead - if I accept a premise of a world full of zombies I didn't understand why the deputy would walk about with a single six-shot revolve (he had a shot-gun, but he kept that in the car's boot/trunk).
In a nation of high gun-ownership I would have expected he'd have several guns on him at the same time. Even the camp outside Atlanta, they had a single man with a shotgun on only one of the caravans/trailers who wouldn’t have been able to see the whole perimeter… and other people in the camp didn’t have guns.
But with ‘’Revolution’’, if I accept the premise of a world without electrical power it made no sense that an 'expert at death' as the ex-Marine uncle was would be an expert with swords... although he's had 15 years to learn and practice, he would stand-out.
I also found the confrontation in the village at the beginning illogical where people with farm implements would have pressed against the militia - and one just knew that the father was going to die - of course his son would completely ignore him and not put the weapon down even though the father was in the direct line of fire. The rebellious teen seems to have carried on into this post modern world. Even the daughter was stereotypical in that regards... selfish and strong-willed.
I found the writing poor. The only thing I liked was the doctor with the poison whiskey bottle - a very clever idea, and unexpected to me the viewer.
I am glad you enjoy it. Perhaps it's going to go into further seasons???
I put up with two seasons of ‘’Lost’’ and, ‘’Lost Girl’’ before abandoning them. I still like ‘’Fringe’’.
I appreciate your feedback. Montalban ( talk) 22:50, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

You're a collegial and gracious editor, with the rare gift of calm steadiness that helps temper heated discussion. As well, you show confident boldness in the equally rare occasions it's truly needed. With thanks for your endeavors, Tenebrae ( talk) 23:50, 24 January 2013 (UTC) |
He asked me to drop you a note. It's probably best if you just leave him alone. He is allowed to blank messages from his talk page; it's not an awesome way of doing things, but he's within his rights, and he's within his rights to ask you not to post on his talk page. If he has a grudge, let him have a grudge in peace. It's a wide Wikipedia, no need to get all up in his business about it, right? :) Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 00:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I know saying "styled as Star Trek Into Darkness" isn't perfect, but it's a compromise that does the important task of getting the real-world title in the lead so that Wikipedia doesn't look like we're completely detached. And one could even make an argument for its being "styled" or "stylized" (either works for me) since in proper grammar it would either be lowercase i or have a colon. What do you say? Could you see your way clear to self-reverting and leaving the compromise version in. At least two editors are for it, and Rob Sinden isn't against it. Think of what it could mean if, for now, we could all meet halfway. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 00:43, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
As an involved editor, you're invited to keep an eye on new developments at Star Trek into Darkness and its talk page. -- Tenebrae ( talk) 00:42, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I've created a nice quiet page about the possibility of enforcing a break from debating Star Trek into Darkness. Would you mind taking a look, and giving your opinions? You can find it here, and please feel free to invite anyone you feel would add to the conversation. drewmunn talk 12:47, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Your bad faith comments attacking me specifically were pretty dumb, Shiney. Kinda makes me glad that you are sem-retired. Perhaps you could take the final step and wander off iun search of something - well, shiny - to amuse you? Good luck in future endeavors, Shiney. And - how did you put it - oh yes: 'don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out'. - Jack Sebastian ( talk) 01:38, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Regarding your edit here, if you want to know why the heading was changed, you can look through the page's edit history (much as I did to find your reversion of it) and see what my rationale was in my edit summary. That heading Jack Sebastian chose was not in keeping with WP:CIV or WP:NPA, and he flat-out admitted to me that he chose it to be provocative. Please use only titles that reflect the content of the discussion's topic, and not which comment on other users. Thanks. Nightscream ( talk) 17:59, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
To MisterShiny: Perhaps no one took steps because it was borderline enough for them to hesitate (as he did address a particular editor), or because the size of the entire talk page free-for-all scared off those who simply didn't want to touch it with a ten meter targ scoop.
And to reiterate what I said to Jack, if an admin feels that some edit violates WP:CIV, then refactoring it, in some types of cases, is precisely one of the things they are empowered to do. However, I did not refactor your post, as I merely changed the heading. Headings are not proprietary. Thanks to both of you. Nightscream ( talk) 20:44, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited John Noble, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fringe ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I did link the Reddit interview source at the bottom. You are lying. Penelope37 ( talk) 00:16, 27 February 2013
It was proved as they talked about it on the official site and facebook. The Director and Writer held up signs for it to prove it if you READ it. So yes you were lying or too lazy to check. But I didn't know we weren't allowed to list promotional despite almost every film here talking about the different promotional advertisements used for the film. I won't edit war, but you are blatantly wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Penelope37 ( talk • contribs) 21:59, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
It's right on the official facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=164378277045788&set=a.141235409360075.32065.109116999238583&type=1&theater which gives a link to here bit.ly/DMDAMA which shows the writer and director holding up signs it is also talked about on the official twitter https://twitter.com/deadmandownfilm
