Rumor has it....

Thanks for the advice on rumors regarding my discussion on the Simpsons discussion page. I'm new Wikipedia (account-wise, that is) and I wasn't sure about rumors. Thanks. the Simpson(talk) 16:40 27 August 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.230.96.17 ( talk)

Sorry about that. I edited that quite some time ago. The page numbers for all of the Ortved sources are 125-126. All of those old sources were found using Google News. I searched something like "Simpsons Sing the Blues" and set the dates to only 1990. Apparently I just forgot to change the URL by accident. They're likely still up, and with the correct publisher name and whatnot, shouldn't be too hard to find. I'm afraid I don't have the time currently. Thank you for the compliments! -- Thardin12 ( talk)

Good article delisting

Per discussion page headers for good articles:

Yep, it's definitely something we need to do. Somebody already listed Girly Edition for GAR and I was expecting that to be the start, but it was just a one-off. So yeah, we really need to try and pre-empt this. Gran 2 15:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC) reply

When I read the article, an encountered a sentence that was pretty much a duplicate of a sentence just a few lines above, my reaction was that this must have been a mistake by an earlier editor. This is an article about one episode about one TV show episode, of limited size, and completely repeating sentences further down in the lead section is really out of style. --- Egil ( talk) 10:58, 7 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Ratings

Brilliant work with the ratings. Out of interest, and I'm assuming this will be fairly hard to work out, do you think it is possible to make a definitive top ten highest rated episodes list? Has anything else ever got close to "Bart Gets an F"? Gran 2 22:18, 12 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Yeah, I've never really trusted these automated tools! Gran 2 15:16, 21 September 2011 (UTC) reply

I need your input on something. Which do you think is better? The present structuring of Hank Azaria, where his career is recounted in a chronological order, with film and TV mixed up? Or this restructing here, where his TV and film roles are split into separate sections? I prefer to write biographies in the former style, but the latter is far clearer and easier to navigate and understand. Thanks. Gran 2 23:59, 23 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Yes, I agree about not jumping through time. Hmm. I'll ask Left and Scorpion what they think as well, because I can't decide. I think I'll put it up for peer review at some point as well. Thanks. Gran 2 16:12, 24 September 2011 (UTC) reply

Just a suggestion, since you're doing all the work, I'd put the first paragraph of "Release" into production, and change the title of release to "reception".

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. The paragraph may as well be in the production section. The reason why I keep it in the release section for now is because I feel that it flows well with the ratings information. I'm pretty sure I'm going to move text around as more sources become available, so I may do that in the end. -- Maitch ( talk) 23:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Just got back to this the last couple of days (finally done all rowscopes) and hope to complete it in the coming weeks. With references, it is very hard to get credits from Kevin Michael Richardson via a reliable source, though I did stumble upon this site. Is it reliable? Plus what do you propose about the colouring system with recurring actors? – Lemonade51 ( talk) 18:35, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

I don't know. People like Kevin Michael Richardson and Maurice LaMarche are just used to do bit parts, so it would be very hard to get a reliable source (ShareTV is not reliable) for the role. I think the only solution is to remove all the people named in List of cast members of The Simpsons and just named them in the lead as a recurring cast.
The colouring system could be done as you had it before with the role marked in some fashion instead of the name. I don't know if it will look good. Cheers, Maitch ( talk) 19:51, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Simpsons good night.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Simpsons good night.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Nomination of List of The Simpsons writers for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of The Simpsons writers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Simpsons writers until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Your admin status

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on dawiktionary, where you are an administrator. Since dawiktionary does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Just got back to this the last couple of days (finally done all rowscopes) and hope to complete it in the coming weeks. With references, it is very hard to get credits from Kevin Michael Richardson via a reliable source, though I did stumble upon this site. Is it reliable? Plus what do you propose about the colouring system with recurring actors? – Lemonade51 ( talk) 18:35, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

I don't know. People like Kevin Michael Richardson and Maurice LaMarche are just used to do bit parts, so it would be very hard to get a reliable source (ShareTV is not reliable) for the role. I think the only solution is to remove all the people named in List of cast members of The Simpsons and just named them in the lead as a recurring cast.
The colouring system could be done as you had it before with the role marked in some fashion instead of the name. I don't know if it will look good. Cheers, Maitch ( talk) 19:51, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Simpsons good night.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Simpsons good night.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC) reply

Great job with the responses to the mass image nominations. Now the user will learn one of the negatives to mass nominations - that you have to fight each one individually. -- Scorpion 0422 23:28, 22 November 2012 (UTC) reply

Nomination of List of The Simpsons writers for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of The Simpsons writers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of The Simpsons writers until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

Your admin status

Hello. I'm a steward. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on dawiktionary, where you are an administrator. Since dawiktionary does not have its own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Cape Feare scheduled for TFA

This is to let you know that the Cape Feare article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 7, 2020. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/October 7, 2020, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.

We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:48, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply
