Why did you remove the Category:Films based on short fiction category? I've read the short story (that came first and that I noted in the talk page), the book and seen the movie. If I recall correctly, the short story and movie might be more closely connected, though it has been a rather long time since I studied the situation. By the way, the fact that it is based on a short story expanded into a book is why I left the Category: Films based on science fiction books when I added the short story category.

I see your work spliting out Films and Novels is moving on apace. However the last two you did including "Fail-Safe" don't appear to have {{ dablink}} or {{ otheruses}} type references in their heads to link the various articles together. No references appear to disambiguation pages either. Is this just an oversight for these two or have these not been added. Or am I missing something here. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 06:14, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Woops! Almost missed this, good thing I archived: In what context are you using "milieu"? I admit to some annoyance about that disambig page; it's really too big to be a disambig....
Ans: Try most anything listed on talk:1632 series (unofficial 'project page'— see one screen down, list of articles), I've already defanged one or two, substituting a link to Parallel universe (fiction) which has the virtue of not needing that link elsewhere. Lot's of work. Series is growing one book or so per three months,and this is not my normal 'Patrol', but I love the series premise—best is covered in 1634: The Ram Rebellion, for now... too much flux in others to say what is recommendable as a snap-shot today. I've been off on my normal geological/history/technical patrol too much the last couple of weeks. I also have to defang work (fine arts) references all over now. Is there a similar 'high-brow sounding' <g> term for works of literature? Thanks for the tips. I'll look those over while fresh tomarrow morning, or as soon after ASAP.

I didn't say it was vandalism, but when you just copy and paste the text from an article, it doesn't preserve the history of it, which is required for the GFDL license that Wikipedia is under. An admin will probably move it to the correct title when they delete the page, otherwise you can just move it there yourself after it's deleted with the little "move" tag at the top of the page. -- Rory096 04:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Frank - have you posted a link to this at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books)? Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship♥ 19:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Her Pegship, First, thanks for the dab page. Second, can you explain the rationale for minifying the image on The French Connection (aerobatics)? I realize some people with a slow connection take longer to download bigger images, but IMO in this case the details of the image, specifically being able to appreciate the closeness of the formation, are very important to the substance of the article. I realize the full image is one click away, but some may not realize it, plus I think the now tiny image as background to the article reduces the original 'shocking' effect. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks again, Crum375 20:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
With your consent I reverted the image to full size. Thanks for all your hard work - it is much appreciated. Crum375 22:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Pegship, WE seem to be moving forward quite a way with this work. What I do notice though is that when novel articles get renamed you end up with a redirected talk page typically to the "film" talk page. I have just fixed "Marnie" by replacing that with the standard Novels notices. Thanks :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 07:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I think this should (likely) be undone... the film is much more well known than the book and it doesn't deserve the main page just because it came first. The film should be at Psycho while the book should be moved to Psycho (book). What do you think? gren グレン 12:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

As a result you will still find a bunch of false hits in this next series of lists. I am sorry about that, and will fix that as soon as I have time to tinker with the program.

The following definition is quoted from a review by Paul Massood, critiquing the 1993 film Menace II Society. [2]
As with all genres of filmmaking, the hood films can be identified by certain industrial and artistic similarities: they are made by young, film-literate African-American men working with shoestring budgets (by comparison to Hollywood standards); they deal with similar narrative themes (young African-American men trying to stay alive amidst the pressures--crimes, drugs, racism--of inner city life); and they illustrate mastery of cinematic techniques. Past examples of this genre include such films as Straight Out of Brooklyn, Juice, New Jack City, and Boyz N the Hood.

I've been 'bugged' by my hot button issue of the default skin hiding categories from the user for around two months, and this related thing punched the button pretty much dead center as the same point has been nagging at me as is made by the originator. Seems to me a VP listing ought be made on both, as it were, by at least a mention 'synopsis' with link, and the common debate on kept this page. This seems preferable, as both VP:Technical and VP:policy are certainly apropo venues for a link posting, and I think we've all seen some of the bad effects of the current trend. This point made by the originator is sparse, but on point and imho, important. By keeping the discussion there, it can be similarly referenced on other BB's (Meta for one), and there are a few others. I'm much too focused on wikiEditing to keep up with all the discussion forums, so where should it go, should it be given a seperate venue (Yet another 'proposed guideline'!), or what? In sum, seems to me the 'Internal links' section with such a category template would solve both problems with minimal edit dislocation.
My confidence is high that a structural problem in presentation is present under current standards (editorial guidelines), but my crystal ball shattered some years back <g>, so I can't measure it's severity there and it's hard to gauge it's exact magnitude using anything but inductive reasoning. Personally, I rarely visit the nether regions of a web-page, and admittedly tend to attribute that to other 'oldsters' as well. I guess the key question is: If one is reading casually, what reason have they, 'our customer-readers' for looking lower down past the references? Advice?

Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_May_1#Category:Books available as ebooks to Category:Ebooks has concluded with a strange result IMHO (no consensus). Or? feydey 21:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Woops! Almost missed this, good thing I archived: In what context are you using "milieu"? I admit to some annoyance about that disambig page; it's really too big to be a disambig....
Ans: Try most anything listed on talk:1632 series (unofficial 'project page'— see one screen down, list of articles), I've already defanged one or two, substituting a link to Parallel universe (fiction) which has the virtue of not needing that link elsewhere. Lot's of work. Series is growing one book or so per three months,and this is not my normal 'Patrol', but I love the series premise—best is covered in 1634: The Ram Rebellion, for now... too much flux in others to say what is recommendable as a snap-shot today. I've been off on my normal geological/history/technical patrol too much the last couple of weeks. I also have to defang work (fine arts) references all over now. Is there a similar 'high-brow sounding' <g> term for works of literature? Thanks for the tips. I'll look those over while fresh tomarrow morning, or as soon after ASAP. Don't for get to (register and ) vote talk:ebook!!!<g> Fra nkB 01:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
I didn't say it was vandalism, but when you just copy and paste the text from an article, it doesn't preserve the history of it, which is required for the GFDL license that Wikipedia is under. An admin will probably move it to the correct title when they delete the page, otherwise you can just move it there yourself after it's deleted with the little "move" tag at the top of the page. -- Rory096 04:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Seeing you've got a library and all at hand to reference, please follow and see if you can identify this original author (Freeman), and if possible, have some reference indexing (TOC) what ole JB has in the 3rd Ed. Also, same question on wikisource! Have a great day! Best, Fra nkB 16:22, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
OK teach, what'd I do wrong: Entered 'The Historical Atlas by William R. Shepherd, 1926.' as search string -- 500 result! Similarly, tried A) deleting the period, B) dropping the Date C) Title only D) Author only... none seem to give me anything that looks totally promising, many were oddball like sheet music collections, entirely far afield. Oh -- and quoted title. One such quoted gave a mere two links, I think the quoted authors name. Perhaps an email with the tricks of the trade? <G> Fra nkB 07:18, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Pegship. I just want to let you know I've removed the "Split" tag you put on Mapp and Lucia because nobody was discussing the suggested split. Cheers, -- A bit iffy 06:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi; just stopped by to say thank you for the categorizing on Ace. I appreciate it. Mike Christie 05:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
I think I found every category out there that still has movie in its title. If there are any more left, they are well hidden. *grins* There are a few more that I just put up after you supported the previous batch. Thanks! We might need to have a long chat about the Marvel Comics one. There are other cases where a proper name is followed by the same word as a normal noun. Lady Aleena 18:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
You appear to be re-alphabetizing a lot of the subcategories of Category:Series of books by sticking an asterisk before the first letter. May I ask why? This results in the subcategory being alphabetized under "*" instead of the first letter. MakeRocketGoNow 22:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi Frank - have you posted a link to this at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (books)? Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship♥ 19:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Her Pegship, First, thanks for the dab page. Second, can you explain the rationale for minifying the image on The French Connection (aerobatics)? I realize some people with a slow connection take longer to download bigger images, but IMO in this case the details of the image, specifically being able to appreciate the closeness of the formation, are very important to the substance of the article. I realize the full image is one click away, but some may not realize it, plus I think the now tiny image as background to the article reduces the original 'shocking' effect. Looking forward to your comments. Thanks again, Crum375 20:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
With your consent I reverted the image to full size. Thanks for all your hard work - it is much appreciated. Crum375 22:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for putting a new pending category up, though if you would do me a favor, can you put up more than one? If the category you have up is very short I may 'only' be able to give you 30 or so articles... I am amazed at how fast and effecient you are with this! Let me know if you need help getting data for any other lists. I would be honored to help you. Eagle talk 20:50, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi - Just got an answer to a post at Wikisource which lead to this debate, wherein circa April 6th someone suggested consulting with Librarians. As my current favorite person of that discription, I thought you might be interested in seeing whether a cross-wiki involvement may be good for you. This debate seems like a good place for you to snoop and see. (Just thinking of you and your cats! <g>)

I have just gotten a case of stage fright when it comes to the film series lists on which I have been working. For the most part they are ready to go up, but I fear that there will be an outcry against. What do you think? - LA @ 12:52, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Pegship, WE seem to be moving forward quite a way with this work. What I do notice though is that when novel articles get renamed you end up with a redirected talk page typically to the "film" talk page. I have just fixed "Marnie" by replacing that with the standard Novels notices. Thanks :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/ (Desk) 07:42, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
I think this should (likely) be undone... the film is much more well known than the book and it doesn't deserve the main page just because it came first. The film should be at Psycho while the book should be moved to Psycho (book). What do you think? gren グレン 12:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

I will put new items up tommarrow! I have made slight changes in the regex statement, though I don't think they will help. I need to modify the program to allow two sweeps... one with the original regex statement, and a second pass through the article looking for exeptions. As a result you will still find a bunch of false hits in this next series of lists. I am sorry about that, and will fix that as soon as I have time to tinker with the program.
P.S.--- I made some sarcastic comments on your new list ordering system. (atbat, on deck, in the dugout)! Please take them as what they are, humor! (I have had little chance to express any lately and jumped at my first opertunity:-) Eagle talk 05:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
As I see that fantasy films (almost put mystery novels... gah!!!) has only 223 articles, my program will make short work of this. I will put a list up in about 10-15 minutes from this post. Eagle talk 05:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Pegship, seeing that you contributed to this list before... I am dropping you this note today to let you know that the book stubs -> novel stubs autolist has been updated today. Currently there are 37 items on this list that need to be sorted through. This is far less than the original list size. Eagle talk 04:07, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
The following definition is quoted from a review by Paul Massood, critiquing the 1993 film Menace II Society. [2]
As with all genres of filmmaking, the hood films can be identified by certain industrial and artistic similarities: they are made by young, film-literate African-American men working with shoestring budgets (by comparison to Hollywood standards); they deal with similar narrative themes (young African-American men trying to stay alive amidst the pressures--crimes, drugs, racism--of inner city life); and they illustrate mastery of cinematic techniques. Past examples of this genre include such films as Straight Out of Brooklyn, Juice, New Jack City, and Boyz N the Hood.

I've been 'bugged' by my hot button issue of the default skin hiding categories from the user for around two months, and this related thing punched the button pretty much dead center as the same point has been nagging at me as is made by the originator. Seems to me a VP listing ought be made on both, as it were, by at least a mention 'synopsis' with link, and the common debate on kept this page. This seems preferable, as both VP:Technical and VP:policy are certainly apropo venues for a link posting, and I think we've all seen some of the bad effects of the current trend. This point made by the originator is sparse, but on point and imho, important. By keeping the discussion there, it can be similarly referenced on other BB's (Meta for one), and there are a few others. I'm much too focused on wikiEditing to keep up with all the discussion forums, so where should it go, should it be given a seperate venue (Yet another 'proposed guideline'!), or what? In sum, seems to me the 'Internal links' section with such a category template would solve both problems with minimal edit dislocation.
My confidence is high that a structural problem in presentation is present under current standards (editorial guidelines), but my crystal ball shattered some years back <g>, so I can't measure it's severity there and it's hard to gauge it's exact magnitude using anything but inductive reasoning. Personally, I rarely visit the nether regions of a web-page, and admittedly tend to attribute that to other 'oldsters' as well. I guess the key question is: If one is reading casually, what reason have they, 'our customer-readers' for looking lower down past the references? Advice?
