Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page. I attempted to translate the data from the old version to the new, but with the extensive changes, I may have made some errors. Thanks again. Useight ( talk) 03:54, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey there, I noticed that you got List of Heroes episodes to FA status. Well I have worked on List of Moonlight episodes and I was going to nominate it, but I was wondering if you could just look over it and tell me if there's anything that needs improvement. I know about peer reviews and stuff, but this is just a simple look over to see if it is worthy of FA status. Thanks. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 07:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I'm thinking of working on the article for the Lost pilot episode, and was wondering what sites do you use regularly to find references and reviews of the episodes? Good job on the GAs and FAs of Season 4, too! Regards, Matthewedwards ( talk · contribs · count · email) 00:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight ( talk) 17:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Wow. Yeah, you did. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 06:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you removed my andre kertesz nomination from the main page requests. I understand that only 5 requests are allowed, but I'll be satisfied if you could add it be in later...? I've technically left Wikipedia and this was my last task to do. I have been trying to nominate forever and it would be absolutely awesome if you could nominate it back in for me later. I personally think the new rules suck and I'm not the only one - I just can't sit around and wait for an opening. which will most likely be taken before I get to it... Please can you nominate it for me? I'm really desperate.... Spawn Man ( talk) 22:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to contribute, and of course, thanks for voting to support :). I'm going to focus on article writing for a bit (less chance to bite) until my exams are finished and i'm relatively stress-free. And you'll note i've started capitalising individual I's :P.

Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT). Good luck and have fun! -- Scorpion 0422 18:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
Any luck there yet? Sorry, haven't checked - working from different computer... Spawn Man ( talk) 11:33, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
I know you are very busy, but could you please just check out Powerless (Heroes). I improved a bit and nominated it for GA status. Please just read through it and tell me if there's anything that needs improvement before it's reviewed. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:10, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Grrrr...some Wikipedia error stuffed my message, I'll just write it again..... Thanks for the support! :D I especially like your comment "I was… well, lost (hmm, that doesn't work as well here)".

Acalamari, Milk's Favorite Cookie and Malinaccier have each expressed interest in writing or have written the nomination for Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/thedemonhog 2. At most, I would like to have one co-nominator as some users have been opposing per too many co-nominators. Let's have the nomination run from July 1 to July 7.

Thank you for renominating Andre Kertesz at the main page requests - If I could be bothered searching for a "man-of-his-word" barnstar, I would. May your days here be fruitful. Cheers, Spawn Man ( talk) 09:05, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Since I am not very good in these things, can you perform the merge in the List of Heroes character with special abilities? I tagged the article in March and since then only you replied. Friendly, Magioladitis ( talk) 12:08, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I came to this page about to offer to nominate you for adminship, and punching in the URL so I could link to it... I found Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/thedemonhog 2. So yeah. Good luck. I won't need to offer to nominate after all. :-) giggy ( :O) 11:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
What's the verdict on Lost (season 4)? Should I continue with the GA review, or do you want to nominate it as a FLC? Nikki 311 20:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
About the FL nomination, I think the article is ready. All it needs is a critic reception and awards section. The reatings needs some clean-up, but other than that, the article is finished. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
At this point it looks good to go, I would say. Is there anything that jumps out at you at this time (something I might have missed)? I think it's ready for the nomination, if that's your goal. Like I said, if any concerns about the article are brough up at FAC, I'll work with you to fix them during the nomination so it may pass successfully. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

See you around the wiki!-- SarekOfVulcan ( talk) 00:50, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
We have a compromise I'm satisfied with. We've developed a more precise organization for the current five-nomination system that could provide the infrastructure for more nominations in the future, if we're confident we can maintain it after trying it for awhile. You can see the discussion on the requests talk page, of course, but a sample of what we have in mind is here. Wrad ( talk) 01:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you recently reverted your report of 190.51.136.69. I am watching WP:AIV and I was wondering why you reverted it since the IP did vandalize after her/his last warning. After I saw that, I added the report back my own. I don't know why you reverted it, but I was thinking you looked at the above report I did and they had almost the exact IP address number and they were vandalizing the same pages. I was thinking you reverted your report because you thought the above report was the same IP you were reporting. The above IP report was 190.51.178.67; you can see how they are a like. Well, anyway, they were both blocked by User:Xenocidic. I would still like to know why you reverted your report if you don't mind. Thanks, RyRy ( talk) 19:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Heh, thanks. I've hated that question for long before your RFA (because my 3rd RFA got opposed because I felt that blocks to cool down the general climate of Wikipedia discussion areas were appropriate, and WP:CDB is horribly defined). I don't know what I can do to thank you... although I am in an editing mood, so I might get back to finishing of the Lost episodes. Sceptre ( talk) 21:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your support at my RFA, which closed as a success. I would also like to congratulate you on surviving my 160K coaching page.

Thanks for the barnstar; it means a lot. I was meaning to give you one too, but I didn't know what to give you one for.

I'd be very happy to do a copyedit (sorry I hadn't got around to commenting on the FAC); I'll probably take a stab at it later today. — 97198 talk 04:14, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Did you know that Through the Looking Glass (Lost) is the longest episode FA, at 49.1KB? Well, I'm trying to break your record with The Stolen Earth (not yet an FA). It's currently at 44.5KB, but given that three production accounts ( uno, dos, tres) are coming out soon, I think I might get to 60KB. My ultimate goal is to get it on the main page for 23 November 2008 (Doctor Who's 45th anniversary). Reckon I'll suceed? Sceptre ( talk) 04:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Welcome back from your holiday. We've missed you. ;) Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 08:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Thedemonhog; I removed the new FAC as I archived it only a few hours ago. The FAC should be able to sail through successfully if you bring it back when everything is cleared up. I see another editor started a thread at the Reliable Sources noticeboard, and there's the pending image issue. If you can nail down those two issues, the chances of the article passing next time will be much greater, and you'll likely get more attention from reviewers. It's understandable, with the high traffic at FAC, that reviewers may be reluctant to engage until other issues are sorted. Please take a few days to sort out those two kinks, and then bring it back when it's ready. Good luck next time; that was a great episode, and I'll be pulling for it. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 16:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Um, I just looked over those episode pages. If I were you, I would nominate them for FA status. As far individual episode articles goes, they are pretty comprehensive. Not all episode articles have scholarly analysis on them. Though, given the depth of those reception sections, I would remove those horrid (horrid meaning the actual site, not the Wikipedia writing) TVSquad sources. Those people are some of the most unprofessional reviewers out there, and when you have stuff like Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly, you don't need to fluff up the section with stuff from TVSquad. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I didn't understand on the TFAR page your summary "September 30: Not supporting per removal of another article" I guess not supporting is better than opposing, but the "per removal" suggests to me that you think I did something wrong. Any help straightening me out would be appreciated.
BTW, as a kid I got to hang out in Vancouver while visiting my Grandmother. Are Stanley Park, English Bay and Jericho Beach still as nice? Well they have articles, so I'll check those out.

Wikipedia's epic FL directors Matthewedwards and Scorpion0422 have decided to try another FL contest as a follow up to the one held last June. As you entered the first contest, you may be interested in taking a look at the new one, which will have different rules. Although they are still being fiddled with, three FLs in different topics will be required this time around. For more information, see here. A start date has not yet been determined, but it will likely begin some time within the next week or so. Thanks for the time, Scorpion 0422 15:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Thedemonhog/2008 2, you posted at one or more of the recent discussions of short FAs. There's now a proposal to change the featured article criteria that attempts to address this.

Thanks for the heads up — but it seems that some of the regulars at TFAR don't like it when an article is nominated way in advance, even if it's within the 30-day timeframe. I had thought it might be more politic for me to wait a bit longer, perhaps until Oct. 23 or so. On the other hand, there are two slots open now... what do you think? — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 07:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, the FLCon is currently running and unfortunately part of the problem with it is that most of our current regular reviewers are entrants. I would hate for people to lose in the contest solely because of a lack of reviewers, so could you please take a look at some of the following FLCs if you have time?

My source is indeed stats.grok.se and a lot of patience - sorry, I thought I'd stated that! Will fix now...
The main difference is that stats.grok.se counts redirects interestingly - following the link to "Redirect Page" will be recorded as a single pageview for "Redirect Page" rather than one for "Target Page", if you see what I mean. For Barack Obama and John McCain, I generated a list of all the redirect pages I could find, and factored these in, which means the pageviews calculated for those articles are greater than those stats.grok.se gives if you just ask it for the one page.
I use "hits" as synonymous with pageview here; I'll happily change if there's a nuance I'm missing. Hope that helps! Shimgray | talk | 14:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've been looking through the article and I think it is very good. However, one suggestion I have is that the production section is a bit long. This makes reading through it a tad monotonous, so it might not hurt to break it into sections. Two divisions I can think of are writing, and maybe "guest characters" (not the best title though) that would include the info on Libby, Karl, Tom and Gault. A third might be shooting? Not sure about that one though. I hope this helps. I also think your reception section is a bit long (and again somewhat tedious to read through), it might not hurt to condense it a little (or even break it into sections... No idea how that would work though). -- Scorpion 0422 21:49, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have been pointed to you (as a WP:TV member) to request comment on Cr 3. Comprehensiveness regarding the viewing figures in this FLC.

This is a current mockup of a draft of an expansion to the The Stolen Earth article which is the same as my wikicode copy, save for one wikilink in the "Writing" section and the words "of the fourth series" in the "Reception" section I added just now (as in, 30 seconds before I started writing this email). Currently, it stands at 90.1KB (92,261 bytes, or so Windows says), with an expansion of 13.2KB made by adding part of some excised script in the writing section, and an inclusion of an Analysis section to accommodate an analysis that is five pages long in the book I've cited it in. With that edit, I've for all intents and purposes, finished the article. There's a magazine poll coming out in about six months, and there may need to be a few grammatical fixes, but I've pretty much included everything I could.
— Me.
I saw your edit summary in my watchlist; haven't had much time to post and may not get much in the next day or so, but I wanted to see if there was something specific you were looking for feedback on. I am now supporting, so with only Karen opposing I think you're likely to get promoted. Let me know if you need something specific -- I couldn't figure it out from a quick look at your last edit.

Hope your Christmas was fabulous! On a hasty change of subject, I was wondering if you had any idea of where to look for some TV ratings for October 28, 2007 (a Sunday)...

Hello, I was reading your userpage and some of your contributions and such regarding Lost articles. I've had something on my mind and I like to bring it to your attention. Well, I'm trying to re-watch all the episodes of Lost before the season premiere, and I've been looking over the episodes from at least the first season. I've noticed that episodes in the third and fourth season seem to be better formatted then the first and second season episodes. An example being a subsection for flashbacks/flashforwards, for present time, etc. as opposed to the first couple seasons which have everything as one timeline. Now, I'm not sure if there is a specific reason for this, or if anyone else has pointed this out, but seeing as you have a lot of history with the project and I am fairly new to Lost and the project itself, I'm not sure. -- H E L LØ Ŧ H E R E 22:09, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight ( talk) 17:41, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you removed my andre kertesz nomination from the main page requests. I understand that only 5 requests are allowed, but I'll be satisfied if you could add it be in later...? I've technically left Wikipedia and this was my last task to do. I have been trying to nominate forever and it would be absolutely awesome if you could nominate it back in for me later. I personally think the new rules suck and I'm not the only one - I just can't sit around and wait for an opening. which will most likely be taken before I get to it... Please can you nominate it for me? I'm really desperate.... Spawn Man ( talk) 22:50, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to contribute, and of course, thanks for voting to support :). I'm going to focus on article writing for a bit (less chance to bite) until my exams are finished and i'm relatively stress-free. And you'll note i've started capitalising individual I's :P.

Thanks for entering the contest. You are now able to select the topic that you would like to work on. While it is a good idea to know which specific list you will work on before you select a topic, you do not have to submit your list until Thursday. Once you have a topic and a list, you can start work. However, you will not be able to submit an FLC until Sunday at 00:00 (GMT). Good luck and have fun! -- Scorpion 0422 18:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Acalamari, Milk's Favorite Cookie and Malinaccier have each expressed interest in writing or have written the nomination for Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/thedemonhog 2.

What's the verdict on Lost (season 4)? Should I continue with the GA review, or do you want to nominate it as a FLC? Nikki 311 20:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
About the FL nomination, I think the article is ready. All it needs is a critic reception and awards section. The reatings needs some clean-up, but other than that, the article is finished. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 03:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
At this point it looks good to go, I would say. Is there anything that jumps out at you at this time (something I might have missed)? I think it's ready for the nomination, if that's your goal. Like I said, if any concerns about the article are brough up at FAC, I'll work with you to fix them during the nomination so it may pass successfully. I'd like to hear your thoughts.

We have a compromise I'm satisfied with. We've developed a more precise organization for the current five-nomination system that could provide the infrastructure for more nominations in the future, if we're confident we can maintain it after trying it for awhile. You can see the discussion on the requests talk page, of course, but a sample of what we have in mind is here. Wrad ( talk) 01:43, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed you recently reverted your report of 190.51.136.69. I am watching WP:AIV and I was wondering why you reverted it since the IP did vandalize after her/his last warning. After I saw that, I added the report back my own. I don't know why you reverted it, but I was thinking you looked at the above report I did and they had almost the exact IP address number and they were vandalizing the same pages. I was thinking you reverted your report because you thought the above report was the same IP you were reporting. The above IP report was 190.51.178.67; you can see how they are a like. Well, anyway, they were both blocked by User:Xenocidic. I would still like to know why you reverted your report if you don't mind. Thanks, RyRy ( talk) 19:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Heh, thanks. I've hated that question for long before your RFA (because my 3rd RFA got opposed because I felt that blocks to cool down the general climate of Wikipedia discussion areas were appropriate, and WP:CDB is horribly defined). I don't know what I can do to thank you... although I am in an editing mood, so I might get back to finishing of the Lost episodes. Sceptre ( talk) 21:20, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:42, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

It's currently at 44.5KB, but given that three production accounts ( uno, dos, tres) are coming out soon, I think I might get to 60KB. My ultimate goal is to get it on the main page for 23 November 2008 (Doctor Who's 45th anniversary). Reckon I'll suceed? Sceptre ( talk) 04:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Welcome back from your holiday. We've missed you. ;) Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 08:58, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Thedemonhog; I removed the new FAC as I archived it only a few hours ago. The FAC should be able to sail through successfully if you bring it back when everything is cleared up. I see another editor started a thread at the Reliable Sources noticeboard, and there's the pending image issue. If you can nail down those two issues, the chances of the article passing next time will be much greater, and you'll likely get more attention from reviewers. It's understandable, with the high traffic at FAC, that reviewers may be reluctant to engage until other issues are sorted. Please take a few days to sort out those two kinks, and then bring it back when it's ready. Good luck next time; that was a great episode, and I'll be pulling for it. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 16:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Um, I just looked over those episode pages. If I were you, I would nominate them for FA status. As far individual episode articles goes, they are pretty comprehensive. Not all episode articles have scholarly analysis on them. Though, given the depth of those reception sections, I would remove those horrid (horrid meaning the actual site, not the Wikipedia writing) TVSquad sources. Those people are some of the most unprofessional reviewers out there, and when you have stuff like Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly, you don't need to fluff up the section with stuff from TVSquad. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:06, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I didn't understand on the TFAR page your summary "September 30: Not supporting per removal of another article" I guess not supporting is better than opposing, but the "per removal" suggests to me that you think I did something wrong. Any help straightening me out would be appreciated.
BTW, as a kid I got to hang out in Vancouver while visiting my Grandmother. Are Stanley Park, English Bay and Jericho Beach still as nice? Well they have articles, so I'll check those out.

Wikipedia's epic FL directors Matthewedwards and Scorpion0422 have decided to try another FL contest as a follow up to the one held last June. As you entered the first contest, you may be interested in taking a look at the new one, which will have different rules. Although they are still being fiddled with, three FLs in different topics will be required this time around. For more information, see here. A start date has not yet been determined, but it will likely begin some time within the next week or so. Thanks for the time, Scorpion 0422 15:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up — but it seems that some of the regulars at TFAR don't like it when an article is nominated way in advance, even if it's within the 30-day timeframe.

My source is indeed stats.grok.se and a lot of patience - sorry, I thought I'd stated that! Will fix now...
The main difference is that stats.grok.se counts redirects interestingly - following the link to "Redirect Page" will be recorded as a single pageview for "Redirect Page" rather than one for "Target Page", if you see what I mean. For Barack Obama and John McCain, I generated a list of all the redirect pages I could find, and factored these in, which means the pageviews calculated for those articles are greater than those stats.grok.se gives if you just ask it for the one page.
I use "hits" as synonymous with pageview here; I'll happily change if there's a nuance I'm missing. Hope that helps! Shimgray | talk | 14:19, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've been looking through the article and I think it is very good. However, one suggestion I have is that the production section is a bit long. This makes reading through it a tad monotonous, so it might not hurt to break it into sections. Two divisions I can think of are writing, and maybe "guest characters" (not the best title though) that would include the info on Libby, Karl, Tom and Gault. A third might be shooting? Not sure about that one though. I hope this helps. I also think your reception section is a bit long (and again somewhat tedious to read through), it might not hurt to condense it a little (or even break it into sections... No idea how that would work though). -- Scorpion 0422 21:49, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a current mockup of a draft of an expansion to the The Stolen Earth article which is the same as my wikicode copy, save for one wikilink in the "Writing" section and the words "of the fourth series" in the "Reception" section I added just now (as in, 30 seconds before I started writing this email). Currently, it stands at 90.1KB (92,261 bytes, or so Windows says), with an expansion of 13.2KB made by adding part of some excised script in the writing section, and an inclusion of an Analysis section to accommodate an analysis that is five pages long in the book I've cited it in. With that edit, I've for all intents and purposes, finished the article. There's a magazine poll coming out in about six months, and there may need to be a few grammatical fixes, but I've pretty much included everything I could.

I saw your edit summary in my watchlist; haven't had much time to post and may not get much in the next day or so, but I wanted to see if there was something specific you were looking for feedback on.

Hello, I was reading your userpage and some of your contributions and such regarding Lost articles. I've had something on my mind and I like to bring it to your attention. Well, I'm trying to re-watch all the episodes of Lost before the season premiere, and I've been looking over the episodes from at least the first season. I've noticed that episodes in the third and fourth season seem to be better formatted then the first and second season episodes. An example being a subsection for flashbacks/flashforwards, for present time, etc. as opposed to the first couple seasons which have everything as one timeline. Now, I'm not sure if there is a specific reason for this, or if anyone else has pointed this out, but seeing as you have a lot of history with the project and I am fairly new to Lost and the project itself, I'm not sure. -- H E L LØ Ŧ H E R E 22:09, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
