A summary of a Featured Article you nominated at WP:FAC will appear on the Main Page soon. It mostly follows the lead section; how does it look? - Dank (push to talk) 02:48, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, David. Just letting you know that you added two references, "waypoint-infinitynotes" and "gamesradar-infinityreleased", both to the same URL. I assume the latter was a mistake. —zziccardi (talk) 19:48, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:zziccardi—thanks, must have just miscopied. Fixed now. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 15:00, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Every linked genus has its own Wikipedia page saying that it was named by Cope, so each link is its own "source." The list is not exhaustive, just me procrastinating today by going around Wikipedia seeing how many genera named by Cope I could find. I've never seen a list of animals named by Cope, and was curious how many famous taxa would be on it. I was planning to keep adding to the list until it was complete, but it looks like I'm not very welcome to!

EDIT: I have no interest in spending time adding a source for each genus, so go ahead an delete my edit.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.186.136 (talk) 22:44, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a particular reason you reverted my changes instead of placing a "citation needed" tag? A simple viewing of early TOS episodes or a simple Google search will show that I am not just making this up, even if an official source is not so easy to come by. After all, Gene Roddenberry's political motivations are present in the article with nothing to back them up, and this is much more easily verifiable than that. --Sm5574 (talk) 19:49, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot remember when we have ever had a graphic novel as Featured Article of the day. Perhaps you could nominate it for an unspecified date in the next mo th? I bet it would get supported! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Star Trek Generations, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bluescreen (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.

Hi David, would you be able to swing by and finish the image review? I could have sworn that you already did an image review but I suppose it wasn't explicit. czar 15:32, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I count 6 keep, 4 delete, and comments on alternatives to deletion to retain history. Please explain your delete close, and why other alternatives were not considered.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  16:12, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, AfDs aren't votes. Arguments for deletion were more compelling and based in Wikipedia policies and guidelines than arguments to keep because it's interesting or informative. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 16:20, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. In the future (and now, possibly), please include a closing summary such as this, for everyone's benefit.   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  16:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Too bad the keep votes were vastly more descriptive than that. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 02:36, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize in advance, but I don't see the reason for your close to be delete when the arguments and numbers are not a clear delete. Please point me to your reasons because I am going to ask for a review of the close. Thanks in advance. ^{Atsme📞📧} 20:48, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My reasons are listed in the close. Consensus is not counting heads, it's weighing arguments. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 22:17, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please userfy this article - and talk page - for me. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:31, 12 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of Kepler exoplanet candidates by ESI. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 02:38, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey David! It's been too long! So, my current emphasis has been on improving List of Alien characters, after I saved it from deletion. For putting it together, I have had smooth sailing with setting this on course for the first two films on the page, but Alien 3 has been- pardon my French- a real bitch. I've hit an absolute roadblock with the character Robert Morse, as I cannot find any sources that give him any special emphasis beyond, "Yeah, he was played by this guy," or, "The man was a dick". Tell me, even though he has a bit of an impact on story in the end, does he even belong on the list page? I want to keep as much information as possible, but it's apparent his character has no lasting impact, is not the subject of any analytical discussion and worst yet, the character will prevent the page from reaching FL status. Should I remove him? DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 03:15, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'd appreciate your input for whenever you're back. But for now, I've removed the character from the list, as they apparently don't hold any cultural weight and their complete lack of sources are a hindrance to the list's FL potential. But yeah, let me know what you think when you're back. DARTHBOTTO _talk•cont 01:11, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"@DarthBotto: Sorry for the delay. I think it's mostly up to your discretion. For Characters of Halo we drew the line that the only characters who would get mentioned would be recurring characters, to cut down on the scope. I dunno if that would work in your case, but I also don't think every section needs real-world info. If you're covering the major characters for each film it'd probably be better to leave him in, unless you narrow the scope significantly. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:04, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Morse is a very peripheral character who doesn't display any note-worthy actions, save for the fact that he's the lone survivor of the protagonists. I mean, I can't really say he's notable with the plot summary alone. I have considered having the page be only for recurring characters, but the problem with that is it would only likely be ten characters seen more than once, with literally only three of them being something more than a photograph or body double, haha. Big problem, eh? My instinct is to cut out peripheral characters with little narrative or cultural impact and see what happens. It's kind of frustrating, as it feels like I'm trudging into unfamiliar territory, as the nature of the way characters exist in the Alien franchise is unique, where there's one big recurring player in each movie, along with almost equally important supporting characters who don't make it into the sequel and if they do, they're not really characters!

The cover art used in this article is the lesser known UK version, or this cover. The official US cover looks like this: http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/rct3_pcusbox.jpg. Since the game was released in the United States (October 26, 2004) before Europe (November 3, 2004), I propose that the cover should be changed to the US version. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 01:44, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Yoshiman6464: That's fine by me. I have no real attachment to the other image and your reasoning makes sense. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 03:46, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I just replaced it. Yoshiman6464 (talk) 04:15, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello David, please could you undelete this under User:Sladen/Keith Heller. —Sladen (talk) 22:36, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you (Special:Diff/730954783). Please could you restore the corresponding Talk:Keith Heller page to User talk:Sladen/Keith Heller. This contained a list further potential cites found shortly before the AfD closure occurred, and which I would like to be able to direct Wikipedia:WikiProject UK Railways to, in the hope of locating other editors who might have scans. —Sladen (talk) 23:06, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

David Fuchs. Re-poke for Talk:Keith Heller→User talk:Sladen/Keith Heller please. —Sladen (talk) 09:37, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

David Fuchs. Please can you restore it properly, move it (along with history), and overwrite the copy-and-paste you have performed. Thank you. —Sladen (talk) 10:11, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing else relevant or necessary to restore from the talk page. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 10:27, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
