"Blink"

Hey this just came out - thought you would find it useful and interesting. Glimmer721 ^talk 22:32, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Sweet! I'm sure something could be added. Great find!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 03:57, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Well it was already added but I thought you would find it interesting. I think I did read somewhere (on a non-reliable source) that the concepts found in "Girl in the Fireplace" (time windows), "Blink" (angels), and "Silence in the Library" (library) were all in one episode. Glimmer721 ^talk 00:45, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean they were in the original script for one episode?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 01:39, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

According to this, yes. Also what is interesting are the recurring filming locations. "Bad Wolf Bay" showed up again as the planet in "The Time of Angels" (and it's also going to be seen again in Episode 2 of the new series), some parts of library in "Silence in the Library" are used as the museum in "The Big Bang", and the foresty area in "The Doctor's Daughter" is the same location used for parts of the Silurian village in "Cold Blood". Guess it's better than all the quarries-as-alien-planets in the classic series. Glimmer721 ^talk 01:18, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Re:The Office

Omg when I heard it was ending I was both sad and happy. Cause for one thing, its one of my favorite shows of all time and for another thing, the eighth season sucked ALMOST as bad as the sixth (seventh was good). Good thing Greg is back, he'll make the show a classic again, and hopefully fix most of the things that went wrong. NoD'ohnuts (talk) 20:47, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Yep! Also, I can't wait to hear more about this "drama" for Jim and Pam. This will be exciting! Your the one who edits the ninth season premiere right? I think that's how the order is working, although i might be wrong NoD'ohnuts (talk) 23:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

The Post-Modern Prometheus

Just noticed this is open for review on WP:PR and WP:FAC, I'm guessing the former needs to be closed? Lemonade51 (talk) 00:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh yeah... It does. I thought it had already been archived. Can you close it?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 01:36, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

TV reviews

You don't happen to know any other good sites for TV episode reviews apart from The A.V. Club? I've scoured Highbeam and some other newspaper archives, as well as the likes of IGN, DVD Talk, etc, for anything on individual Twin Peaks episodes and I'm not turning anything up. I'll probably be working on TXF season 3 for a bit too but I'd like to get that first season of Peaks sorted too, if you know anywhere with a good archive of reviews I could scour that'd be awesome. GRAPPLE X 02:58, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I've run into that issue a lot as well, especially for review of The Office. Entertainment Weekly does some pretty decent reviews, but I don't know if they have any Twin Peaks stuff. Are there any review books out there for the series? Those are always super helpful. Maybe some of these?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 03:06, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I found some possibly useful links at EW - [1] [2] (you can try looking for more with this search). Hope that helps! Ruby 2010/2013 03:12, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I checked that Mad Norgwegian Press that did Wanting to Believe; they have one for The Transformers I'm sorely tempted to pick up but apart from that it's all Dr. Who and Joss Whedon. If you want stuff for The Office I've seen it on Highbeam; I got some ratings stuff not long ago for Ruby and I'm pretty sure there's more than just raw numbers. I can have a scout if you have any specific episodes in mind. Some of those books look useful enough for thematic information (Full of Secrets was very good for "Episode 2"); but something with just basic reviews would be great. Older teevee is a real bugaboo to get this stuff for (struggled to get a single Miami Vice episode to GA too), which is surprising given how popular some of this stuff was. Post-EC comments: I did check EW; some of that stuff does look good for the later episodes (even later in season one but the front-end of season two looks good), I'll see what I can do with it. Thanks. GRAPPLE X 03:15, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Have suddenly remembered "Television without Pity" exists. Just wish these bastards were a bit more concise. :/ GRAPPLE X 03:28, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Oh yeah, they basically ramble on about the episode and then assign grades at the end. It's weird.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 03:32, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Sixteen pages. I'm reminded of one of the last good Friends episodes. (I know, I wouldn't expect me to watch a sitcom either) GRAPPLE X 03:35, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Inside the X-Files

Are you (or Grapple) aware of this documentary? It's listed on Netflix as the 21st episode of season 5, so I assume it's some sort of special that was aired after the finale. I just finished part one of "Redux" myself, though I doubt it will spoil anything, so let me know if you want me to watch and take notes on it. It would probably have stuff useful for the character articles. Now, I'm going to go prepare fish fingers and custard for tomorrow... ;) Glimmer721 ^talk 01:16, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure. It might be included as a bonus featurette on the DVD, but I'm not sure. I'll take a look at it. That would certainly be useful when I get around to editing the main fifth season page!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:55, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if it's just the fifth season or the series as a whole. Seems to also go into the movie. I did find it online here and here. Glimmer721 ^talk 16:52, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Hmmm, I'll take a look and see if it can be used. If so, awesome. As for tonight, you're right, it's Doctor Who time. ;)--Gen. Quon (Talk) 17:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

It's on my season 5 DVD; it seems to be a promo thing for the movie. I believe I might have used it in X's character article but there's not a huge amount there that's particularly unique; it's really an overview of the show as a whole to present it to new viewers mostly. Still worth a watch for Steven Williams' ridiculous earrings. GRAPPLE X 17:41, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Haha, I'll be looking forward to it then. Glimmer721 ^talk 19:39, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

I see you got to the "all things" points; I raised a few on "The Truth" as well. I think it's going to need a lot more work than "all things" but keep pinging me for help at any stage. GRAPPLE X 22:45, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello

Hi. I have just picked up your new Office articles for GA review. I'll review them ASAP. Because of that, could you perhaps leave comments at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Nightswimming (Awake)/archive1 too. Cheers, TBrandley 17:34, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Sure. I'll have a look over it later tonight.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 17:37, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

A brownie for you!

Congrats on getting 100 Office articles up to GA, along with others of course! Have a brownie. TBrandley 18:58, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Well cool! Thank you, and thanks for the review! :)--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:59, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Your welcome! I replied at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Nightswimming (Awake)/archive1. "The Incentive" well be the next review. Cheers, TBrandley 19:02, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Cool. I'll be ready. ;)--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:08, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

The Office

That's cool, awesome! Can't wait for the new season to begin. By the way, I wondering, what are your opinions on the Dwight spin-off -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 22:05, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Same here! I'll check out the first six episodes if it doesn't get good by the sixth episode like The Office and Parks and Recreation then I'll give up on it. If it's really great I'll probably help out with the wikipedia pages for it. But, I predict it will be just like Joey, especially with Paul Lieberstein (or as I like to call him the Mike Scully for The Office) as show runner. And I'm happy about that too, although I wish they went with 24 episodes for the final season, that way it ends at a perfect 200. Also, cause I feel like they might need more episodes to have the perfect ending. But then, that's just me. -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 21:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

"The Truth"

Great work on that article. I have some hidden notes to be fixed, but I'm done. Also, why are the credits for episodes missing, as well as alt for the images? Other than that it is good, good luck at FAC. Cheers, TBrandley 23:52, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Congrats on "The Post-Modern Prometheus"; I just watched the episode and planned on leaving comments, but I found it was already promoted. Oh well, here's some coffee, compliments of J.J. ;) Glimmer721 talk 19:39, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Awesome! Thanks! If you have any other ideas, feel free to stick them in there and make it even more awesome. ;)--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:41, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Congrats on another success! Bruce Campbell, who is unfortunately not Bruce Campbell but let's not hold that against her, has left a list of articles on WP:TXF's talk that she considers potential future candidates; I think it would make a good list of current A-Class reviews with an eye to picking out the best one between them for a future nom. A co-nomination would mean that "Deep Throat" and "The Truth" could run at FAC with an additional article as well so we don't have to wait if we don't want to. GRAPPLE X 19:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Image for "The Truth"

Dear Gen. Quon

I recently uploaded an image for "The Truth" – which I included [3] – but unfortunately it was immediately removed by User:TBrandley under the proviso that "That image doesn't pass WP:NFCC." Now I have no intention of provoking any hostilities with this user, but I was fairly confident that this image was indeed fair use in this context. Certainly, a screenshot from an episode appears on the FA-rated page over at "Episode 2 (Twin Peaks)". I just wondered if, seeing as this is, in effect, "your page", you had any advice or ideas about whether we could use any particular image. Best. Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:50, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, an article doesn't HAVE to have an image. If it does have one, it needs to pass the Non-Free checklist, which basically says that it needs to be something that can't be described in words along and has to be linked to critical commentary. Unfortunately, having Mulder and Scully snuggling, while awesomely awesome, isn't really that hard to describe, and it really isn't linked to critical commentary.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

There are a few noteworthy SFX shots that might warrant things; failing that I believe there's been a recent free photo of Billy Davis uploaded that might work too. GRAPPLE X 19:57, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Yep, File:Toulouse Game Show 2011 - William B Davis - P1280940.jpg. GRAPPLE X 19:59, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe Mulder on trial, as that's discussed pretty heavily in filming. I do love that ending scene, though.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 20:01, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

I think that that would make a good addition, but the snuggling scene was equally heavily discussed by critical commentary; if the snuggling image won't be permitted, then I fear a courtroom scene won't either... Is there any way that we could put together a successful argument for why the snuggling scene must legitimately stay; after all, it is a significant scene not only in this episode but in the entire series and has been the subject of critical commentary (Midnightblueowl (talk) 20:57, 8 September 2012 (UTC))

(talk page stalker) Doesn't matter though. Will seeing Mulder and Scully in bed help the reader understand the topic? Violation of WP:NFCC. TBrandley 21:06, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for joining in here TBrandley; my apologies if I gave any impression of offense by turning to Gen. Quon on this issue. I was hoping for some sort of loophole that would mean that the image could stay – I certainly believe that it adds aesthetic value to the article. Have you any ideas for alternate images ? Midnightblueowl (talk) 21:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Nope, fine. No problems. :) Do any images here work? Believe, me I love images, and would have them if possible. Cheers, TBrandley 21:28, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

None of those images seen to have the vava-voom of the Mulder-Scully snuggling image; nor do they encapsulate such an important scene. I'm not sure any of them would add any real aesthetic value to the article, but if others disagree then I'm happy to talk about itMidnightblueowl (talk) 21:31, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Well, as noted above, perhaps the prison image may work, due to it being talked about in production. It might met WP:NFCC. Regards. I'll keep looking. TBrandley 21:53, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

While we're on this topic, what about "Millennium"? Glimmer721 ^talk 00:10, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I started season two already and you mean something else don't you. I finished putting some of the TXF topics through GTC; and gave a long-awaited update to Wikipedia:WikiProject The X-Files/Recognised Content. "Millennium" the episode might actually make a great one to work on for FA; especially as it's a crossover. I'll see if the MM season 3 set has any features about it, as it does contain the episode. GRAPPLE X 00:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, now that I look at it, it's got quite a bit of info. I think "X-Cops" also has potential if I can just add more stuff to it. Sigh, so many articles... so little time. :P--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I was actually talking about the image change, since it's similar to what was being discussed above... Glimmer721 ^talk 17:04, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Re: Office stuff

Yeah, I was planning to make the third season a GT. Cleaning up some of them will indeed be irksome, so I'd love any help you're offering! Great job with the S2 episodes so far. And yes, I am very excited for Fringe, but am not looking forward to saying goodbye to the crew in February... :/ Ruby 2010/2013 20:47, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

New source?

Just saw this; might be interesting. If it works its way onto Google books or not is another thing; I don't know how Amazon handle their previews for ebooks but I'll take a check. GRAPPLE X 22:40, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Amazon preview. Looks promising. GRAPPLE X 22:42, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Only 22 mytharc episodes...wonder which ones will be left out? Or maybe they'll lump together the multi-parters. Glimmer721 ^talk 00:05, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

There's a contents page; it's not all mytharc stuff. "Ice", "Soft Light" and "The Pine Bluff Variant" are all in there; but they do feature a lot of paranoia, which keys in with the title. It'll be good for "Ice", I imagine, if it discusses it without comparing it too much to The Thing; would be nice to have something to say about that one that doesn't mention that same point over and over. It's only £2 on the kindle, might get the wife to stick it on hers and give it a flick through. GRAPPLE X 00:09, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

That one looks really good. That could certainly help with the mytharc episodes/pages, as well. I assume there's something in it about "The Truth" too.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:23, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Pilot, Deep Throat, Ice, EBE, The Erlenmeyer Flask, Soft Light, Anasazi, The Blessing Way, Paper Clip, Nisei, 731, Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man, Redux, Redux II, Patient X, The Red and the Black, The Pine Bluff Variant, Two Fathers, One Son, The Truth (and The Lone Gunmen's Pilot). Weighted definitely towards the front end of the series but that's probably because paranoia became less of a theme as more became known (then it was all about magnets). GRAPPLE X 04:30, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Cool! Yeah, it is more front-heavy, but there's still quite a bit of good stuff in there. We could probably also get The Lone Gunmen pilot up to GA with this. It seems, out of all of them, the most notable (especially with the 9/11 thing).--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:34, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd need to dig it out again but the DVD set has a few commentaries; I figure those episodes at least would make decent articles. There's at the very least the SHearman reviews to use as well; I'm hoping the timing of the series as coming about when the internet had become genuinely widespread might mean contemporary reviews are easy enough to find. Was hoping to hold off a while to see if The A.V. Club would cover it; their coming year's schedule for "TV Club Classic" reviews is due out next month so who knows (especially as they'll be finished with Millennium with this current set of reviews). GRAPPLE X 04:43, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

OK, I downloaded it (you can't beat that price) and you can view it on Amazon sort of like a PDF. Pretty sweet stuff.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:03, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Actually..... I wouldn't waste your money on it. it's mostly plot recaps. This is making me super sad. I guess it's an OK source, and if we need to beef up some articles, the author has his opinions, but ultimately, this is a disappointment to me.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:07, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Ah, shit; sorry to hear that. I guess things like "Soft Light" might benefit as I'm not sure it's given much thought by most sources but aside from that, sounds like a real waste. :( GRAPPLE X 18:20, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, and it doesn't have page numbers and its bizarre to cite things with. I added something to Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man so it's not totally worthless.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:25, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

FFD of the main image in a GA that you were the reviewer for.

At Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2012_September_11#File:Hill_Street_Station_hostages_robbers.jpg, there is an FFD underway for what seems to me to be a fairly standard FU usage. Can you comment on this since you were the GA reviewer.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:50, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Absolutely. As an inclusionist, I really don't like those deletionist purges they go one...--Gen. Quon (Talk) 06:29, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

GOCE request for The Unnatural

Hi, Gen Quon. I saw you added a request and then removed it again because of all things. We actually allow up to three requests from anyone at one time, so you're welcome to have "The Unnatural" there too, if you like. Best, --Stfg (talk) 09:56, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Oh, cool! I didn't want to be too much of a bother, but I'll re-add it now! Thanks a lot for explaining!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:24, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

No worries, and you certainly aren't being a "bother". --Stfg (talk) 20:34, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Re: Getting The Office ball rolling...

Hmmm... I've done a little digging but haven't come up with much yet. I found some possibly useful articles:

• EW on sound bites [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] (You might have to be a bit creative on these; maybe you could state that a reviewer selected a particular quote for praise)?
• EW production info - [10]
• EW on "Casino Night"
• IGN on Season 2 DVD (which provides some season highlights)
• IGN on "Casino Night"
• IGN on "Christmas Party"
• IGN has some other lists that might be useful (such as a list on the Top 10 pranks)
• DVD Talk on Season 2 DVD (unclear about reliability)
• Television Without Pity list of episode reviews

I know how tricky finding good reviews can be. Being an odd person, I actually enjoy researching content, so I'll keep looking for more! Ruby 2010/2013 19:29, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Looking through more of the Season 2 articles, I see that they already have some of the above links. Hopefully I found some that are still useful. Great work so far on improving them BTW! Ruby 2010/2013 19:40, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. These articles have been super helpful, so Thank You so much!!--Gen. Quon (talk) 04:34, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

I've recently expanded the third season episode "Grief Counseling", and cannot seem to find any ratings information anywhere. List of The Office (U.S. TV series) episodes says "N/A" (for some reason) and there's nothing on Office Tally. Searches through Google and ProQuest have also revealed nothing, nor have searches on Zap2It or Entertainment Weekly. Are there any other sites you recommend, or do you think I should just give up and go ahead with a GA nom? Maybe NBC never released the data in the first place? Ruby 2010/2013 20:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Ping. Let me know if you don't have HighBeam access and I can just add it myself. GRAPPLE X 20:48, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I unfortunately do not have access to Highbeam. I was able to view the link, but not enough to read the full text. If you want, you can just post The Office ratings here, and I would be happy to add them. Otherwise, it'd be great if you did! :) Thanks much, Ruby 2010/2013 20:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Rating of 8.83; in the 18-49 group it was 4.1 with an 11 share (24th ranked in that demographic, no ranking given for total audience). Article from Daily Variety, October 18, 2006; no author given (I assume Associated Press then). GRAPPLE X 20:57, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Now added. Thank again! Ruby 2010/2013 21:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Excellent. I need to get back on this and work on season two again. I got burnt out a bit.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 00:50, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

I know the feeling. The Office episodes are offering a nice break from Fringe for me. Ruby 2010/2013 04:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Re:The Office

YES!! :D This is going to be great!! Did you see the new promo featuring Jim and Pam? They posted it on OfficeTally. It's making me both excited and nervous for them. NoD'ohnuts (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Yea same here! Daniels wouldn't make them break up in the end. He's smarter then that. Either way, I'm excited. ESPECIALLY for Jim and Pam plots and the reveal of who's behind the documentary!! Only Four More Days!! :D NoD'ohnuts (talk) 21:30, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

X-Files improvement

I wondered if you could help me get a star on The Host (The X-Files) like you did with two others so far... and if you could fix me with some scans from Hurwitz' The Complete X-Files, as I plan to improve the below-average fourth season articles (I've got Andy Meisler's book and even started to transcribe what's there in Synchrony (The X-Files) - though you might revise the info there, as I'm using this instead of the original version!) igordebraga ≠ 16:04, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I'm always lost on where to search for Reception(at least Lost was in the internet era and reviews are easier to find). igordebraga ≠ 19:11, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Christmas Party (The Office)

I have reviewed your Good Article Nomination. Great article! Makes me want to try out the US series. (I have seen the UK edition). Eshlare (talk) 20:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I will get on that. I'd suggest the first three or so seasons of the American one. The second season is really very good.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Hey

Should I nominate Terms of Endearment for A-class before considering nominating it for an FA? Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:11, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I would go ahead and do that. We usually all just kind of peer-review it and add suggestions. You don't have to. I was originally going to do that for "The Truth", but just went straight to FAR.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

I wouldn't want to block The Truth's nomination which hasn't attracted alot of comments yet, so I'll do it as a way to kill some time and hopefully improve the article. How does one formally initiate the nomination, by just opening a new section in the article's talk? Bruce Campbell (talk) 22:40, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

If there's no formal procedure like WP:MILHIST has then I just tend to do it on talk pages; if you want a formal review then you can start a talk page header, or if you're feeling fancy, a subpage transcluded onto it like a GA review is. Up to you really. See Talk:all things for how I started that one off. GRAPPLE X 22:44, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Alright. It's been done. Bruce Campbell (talk) 22:56, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments! I believe they've been addressed. Bruce Campbell (talk) 03:19, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline.

Update for: WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.--Dom497 (talk)15:16, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Re:The Office

I loved it! I totally geeked out when I heard the documentary crew's voice XD. But it was great I think. Good sign for this season. Although, I don't like how the ratings look. -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 22:47, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

X-Files A-Class review

I have a "The X-Files A-Class review" center ready to have to organize all A-Class reviews on a page. Good idea? TBrandley 18:58, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good to me!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:00, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Cool,  Done. TBrandley 19:01, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

See WP:TXF/ACR; I moved all your A-Class review requests there, as well as comments, if that's okay with you. Cheers, TBrandley 03:32, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

"New Guys"

You have nominated that for GA and it is now being reviewed (you already know most likely, yeah). Once reviewed, would you mind if I fixed some of his concerns? Cheers, TBrandley 16:18, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

I was just about to say, I have started up the review for "New Guys" and I will put my comments on it in the next couple of days NoD'ohnuts (talk) 16:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

I don't really mind, as long as it gets fixed! :)--Gen. Quon (Talk) 18:52, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

"New Guys" GA Review

I've reviewed it. Not very many problems that I can see in the article. Good job!! :D NoD'ohnuts (talk) 21:51, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Roy's Wedding

By the way, you don't have to work on "Roy's Wedding". Like, I'm always about to add more information to it, but you always beat me to it!! Like for the deleted scenes or the ratings for the episode. You're doing majority of the work, when it's supposed to be my turn with the episode xD. But I do appreciate the help! NoD'ohnuts (talk) 21:54, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Haha, sorry about that. I thought you weren't going to add it. But I'm not sure who did the ratings, as it wasn't me. Also, I just adjusted to lede because I was trying to get all the other Office articles to look the same.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:58, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

"New Guys" GA

New Guys is now a good article :D Congrats!! NoD'ohnuts (talk) 22:48, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey

So what's next for you now that The Truth has passed its FAC? Deadalive? Bruce Campbell (talk) 02:55, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) What about "all things"? There's a huge collection of articles to choose from now, just indicating all the hard and great work has been put in by you, and other X-Files WikiProject members. Well done! Also, has any of your FAs ever appeared on the main page as "Today's featured article". You can nominate at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests. TBrandley 02:59, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

My only fear is that we don't turn into those road people. :( Bruce Campbell (talk) 03:31, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Wonder if they'd want to collaborate on "Drive". That was awful of me. So awful. GRAPPLE X 03:39, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Good dark humor is always welcome. :P I think either "all things" or "The Sixth Extinction II". The latter is probably the closest, as "all things" and "Deadalive" both need peer reviews.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:17, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey again

Are you familiar with personality rights tags? I can't say I am. Bruce Campbell (talk) 13:17, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

You are truly too amazing. I have withdrawn the nomination, however not because I quit, but for more strategic reasons. That way it can be re-nominated quicker, and a peer review can be applied in the mean-time. The goons will have picked it apart to death by then. So close... yet so far. lmao Bruce Campbell (talk) 00:55, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

I hate bothering you - for the 80 billionth time - but it's been 2 weeks, so I'm gonna nominate this sucker again either today or tomorrow. I think it's much better this time around. Meanwhile, this passed its GA, lmao. Bruce Campbell (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Can't get a direct link, but scroll down to the comments section on this and collapse the first seven threads. Glimmer721 ^talk 01:52, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

It's probably weird when something you read shows up on Wikipedia, kind of like when I see the stuff I've done referenced somewhere else. Anyway, have you seen this? There's a new one every Friday; they're very entertaining. Glimmer721 ^talk 21:28, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

On a slightly unrelated note; I've been re-watching the series and just finished season 3. I realized that the season was only one article away from a GA topic (the main article) which I worked on a bit. It's now a GAN, and I used the other season articles as a reference. Since I'm now going through season 4, I've been working on the non-GA episodes, and I'll get to more of them as I continue watching. Just telling you since you've only worked on a billion episode articles. Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:21, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Like I don't get it. Does no one like season 4 or something? lol Bruce Campbell (talk) 02:38, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I watched the entire series regularly as a kid. I'm just retwatching it again. I'll comment on the A-class articles in a bit (ie. before your next FA nominations, for sure). There's just so many articles with potential. Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:05, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

I'll be firing "Ice" through the ACR soon so I'll get to any reviews I haven't already commented on while I'm doing that. I just noticed yesterday that at WP:GA/Theatre, film and drama only The Simpsons is represented by more GAs than we are, and they have 24 seasons to work with, not the 13 that we do; and even at that, only 11 of those seasons have actually been worked on as nothing's been done for Millennium season 3 or The Long Gunmen season 1 (though we could, maybe, open the project up in future years to cover other related shows like Harsh Realm or Space: Above and Beyond, maybe. Who knows). GRAPPLE X 22:25, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

The last AV Club article mentioned that it wants to review The Lone Gunmen series, so we can probably start on that eventually. Maybe not all of them, but some, at least.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:26, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

While you'll never beat The Simpsons people, wont X-Files be the first show ever on here to have all of its episodes at GA level? So take that Groening. Plus Carter is supposedly working on another series, though that could get dropped again... Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:10, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

I think you're right. We only have, what, three episodes, a movie, and one season left till the bulk of this is done, right (sans characters).--Gen. Quon (Talk) 22:51, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

FYI: This came out today. I should warn you that it might not make you happy. Glimmer721 ^talk 00:14, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

The X-Files (season 3) passed its GAN and I think the season is now ready for Good topic consideration? Each of the individual episode articles are all still in find condition I believe. Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Marceline the Vampire Queen edits

Thank you for your contributions! I got a section in mind that I like to work on, but if there's any problem, please let me know. I'm open to suggestions, any corrections and/or additional info if there are any. Again, thanks.207.237.167.6 (talk) 15:59, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Right now, in mind, Role in Adventure Time, Relationships, and External links... I would like to fix and add a couple of things that are related to the character in the respective section. Please, feel free to add any reliable sources that will benefit this page. I too hope this will be the 1st Adventure Time GA and thanks again for your contributions. 207.237.167.6 (talk) 19:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

It seem like Marceline will be soon become the 1st Adventure Time GA. I was think about Occupation which stated "Next in line to rule the Nightosphere" I think of change it to "Princess of the Nightoshpere" which Marceline father is lord of the Nightosphere. Can you give me your output of this statement. Also if you have any question about Marceline, I can help. I'm review, fixing and add a couple of things that are related to the character in the respective section. Again thanks for your contributions.207.237.167.6 (talk) 07:12, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I like it, it is much better than what was originally stated on the page. I also found something in the episode "Memory of Memory", where Finn attempts to stop Marceline's father from eating Marceline's french fries, Marceline's dad mumbled "Princess" while eatting the fries. Maybe, you can help me put this in a connecting bridge for the section if neccesary. Again, thank you so much for your contributions and if you have any question about anything for me, please feel free to ask. 207.237.167.6 (talk) 17:15, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

After I read the Talk:Marceline the Vampire Queen/GA1 and I think the Relationships section should use some changing up. I think I will start adding some addition info like some of Marceline's view points and some general ideas in the Relationship section soon. 207.237.167.6 (talk) 18:34, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

The Unnatural (The X-Files)

Hi, Gen. Quon, I'm beginning the copy-edit you requested to the above article at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, or to correct or revert my edits if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 02:49, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Done - I made some major changes to the reviews section; I changed several quotes because they didn't tell me much about the episode, and I found more interesting quotes from sources and used those instead. Details are in the edit summary and diffs. I also think that the sentence, "Shearman and Pearson rated the episode five stars out of five, and called it, "as [a] delightful ... comic fable"." adds nothing to the article - its too short, over-elided and ungrammatically phrased. It looks like elements of the source text have been added piecemeal. I apologise if I'm wrong but I've seen this done before and I cannot check that source because I don't own a copy. Anyway it's up to you. Please feel free to contact me about any issues arising from the copy-edit; good luck with your planned FA nomination.

Between You and Me GAR

Just as a heads-up, I'll be reviewing the article for GA. I'd be cool to see another dc Talk song with a chance of becoming a GA, especially the one mainstream hit they had. :) Toa Nidhiki05 00:11, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Aside from a few issues, I'm ready to pass it. You can find the comments on the page. Toa Nidhiki05 21:56, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Alright, passed! Great work on the article. Toa Nidhiki05 20:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

more X-files stuff (what else?)

I was working on Synchrony (The X-Files) but almost immediately came up with an issue... virtually the entirety of the productions section is attributed to I Want to Believe: The Official Guide to the X-Files, but the page number wasn't referenced, so there really isn't anything I could do since it's not online. I presume you have the book? Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:43, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh, dang. I have the book. If you give me a few days, I'll add those numbers in there.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 04:30, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh thank you! I think the whole thing is just from 1-2 pages. Btw, the Terms of Endearment FAC passed and I wanted to know if you mind if I worked on your "Home" for my second attempt? Bruce Campbell (talk) 16:42, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

It was me who put that - though the version I used is in Portuguese, was afraid the page could be wrong. Anyway, added that (Quon can correct me if it's wrong), plus expanded the AV Club description. Can you add stuff from the other books or send me? igordebraga ≠ 04:04, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I'll continue with the GA process then and finish off the article. Bruce Campbell (talk) 04:48, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

The Sixth Extinction II is pretty close to passing its FAC, probably only need an image review at this point. Do you have something lined up after it? Bruce Campbell (talk) 03:57, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I think Deadalive is in better condition, it's a bit more of the livelier article (though somebody just tagged it with a [disambiguation needed] lmao). Grapple X brought up a good point in the project talkpage about having an endgame, like achieving some kind of Featured Topic. Is there some sort of pattern or process you use when deciding which ones to pick, or is it just preference? Bruce Campbell (talk) 05:32, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Also "Home" is kinda almost ready and I'm not sure about the condition of "Ice", so I hope they all don't get in the way of each other. (also it's perfectly ok if you just reply to me on your own talk page) Bruce Campbell (talk) 05:32, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I think I might just go with "Deadalive", as it will give season 8 (hopefully) an FA, and then we'll have FAs in each article from 4 to 9. That's pretty good. Right now, I'm hoping to get Milagro, The Unnatural, Field Trip, Millennium, X-Cops, all things, Deadalive, and Vienen up to FA. One of these days, I hope to go for gold and also get Two Fathers/One Son, Monday, Tithonus, First Person Shooter, Closure, Hollywood A.D., Requiem, Within, and Existence up to FA. That's a lot to do...--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:51, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Not a fan of the earlier seasons? Bruce Campbell (talk) 06:01, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

To be honest, I love the earlier seasons, as they remind me of my childhood. However, for some weird reason, 6 and 7 are my favorites (don't ask... even I don't full know). I have mixed feelings about 8 and I hate 9 with a passion. I just feel since the last four don't get much love, I may as well be nice to them. Quite a few of the ones I'm workong on are favorites of mine (Triangle, Unnautral, Millennium, X-Cops, Deadalive, Vienen), but many more I think suck (First Person Shooter, Closure, Existence, anything from season 9). So it's a weird situation with me... I've always meant to work on "Jose Chungs'..." and "Clyde Bruckman's..." but I have just been too lazy. I bet there's a ton of info on them...--Gen. Quon (Talk) 15:43, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Yeah I think basically all 4.5 of the episodes Darin Morgan wrote easily have the potential. He was like a classic episode writing machine. The X-Files seems like the only show that literally has like 70+ episodes of FA potential (maybe next to like, The Simpsons). We need more project members. lol Bruce Campbell (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Also, I found a Cinefantastique article entirely about the writing of "Home". Would you like me to send that to you?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:13, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

If it's not too much trouble. Thank you. Bruce Campbell (talk) 19:21, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Do you think there's any thematic commentary for "The Host", or is it just one of those B-movie episodes? Bruce Campbell (talk) 19:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't know. A quick scan of some of the e-books I used didn't turn up anything. That episode, however, of any of them, seems like a likely FA candidate, though.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 20:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)~

I'm amused that you're humble enough to just support the nomination of Home instead of adding yourself as a co-nominator... anyway, can you send some pages regarding the missing fourth season articles (Unrequited (The X-Files) and [[Elegy (The X-Files]) so we can finish off the topic? (and think I'll try improving The Host when I can as well) igordebraga ≠ 23:04, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

I just thought I'd give credit where it's due. Bruce Campbell really went to town on it since I last edited it. I'll try to send those articles ASAP. This week is kind of busy for me, but I will try my best.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:09, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Oh I certainly would have added Quon as the co-nomiator as he was both the GA submitter and top contributor. Personally it really made no difference to me. lol I'm free tomorrow so I'll start working on the season 4 main article if no one else wants to do it. Bruce Campbell (talk) 00:50, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Is the main article being combed for GA? Bruce Campbell (talk) 19:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

It's been on Grapple and I's list for a long time. Maybe if we all combined our efforts, divided up the sections, and tried to take it on. Would you be interested?--Gen. Quon (Talk) 20:45, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Of course! Also there are some worrying comments over at the Sixth Extinction FAC... Bruce Campbell (talk) 21:17, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

I've been working on the Nielsen Ratings part, so I'll probably start there. As for the Sixth Extinction, oh boy... I tried cleaning it up, but who knows what they'll decide.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 23:18, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

What a disaster today has been for the project. lol I had to withdraw the Home nomination but I already fixed all the comments that were brought up so it wasn't too awful. Who has a lot of free time, likes spooky stuff, and is amazing at copy-editing? Bruce Campbell (talk) 23:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Also I'm glad Sixth Extinction held up but it seems like it'll be a close call. I would have commented further but there's nothing objective I really could have brought to the discussion that you and Grapple haven't already addressed. ^^ Bruce Campbell (talk) 01:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Might be useful for the main article: SFX's latest special edition has an article on The X-Files, listed under "gamechanger". Unfortunately my browser won't let me zoom in on the preview though... Glimmer721 ^talk 18:19, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

The Sixth Extinction and other X-Files stuff

Regarding the FAC, I'm afraid I don't currently have the time to perform a copy-edit, and I'm not sure a quick copy-edit is the answer. You may have gathered that there is, for want of a better word, some cracking down by reviewers at FAC and prose is a tricky thing to get right. I have noticed myself that some X Files articles have a few prose issues; this is not to say that the articles are not good, but that they still need a polish. The editors who are commenting care deeply about FA and only want the absolute best to be promoted; that is perhaps why they see things that a more involved reviewer may not. What makes this trickier is that some prose reviewers give examples only, and it can be frustrating not knowing what problems they are seeing. But asking for a copy-edit does not always resolve every issue, and an effective copy-edit requires a long time spent re-visiting the article. Rather than one person doing this, it is better to have many uninvolved editors have a look. Neither Peer Review (which can be a bit of a graveyard at the moment) nor the GOCE is the answer on its own, as the quality of review/copy-edit depends on who takes a look. I find it is better to find 3 or 4 people to look before going anywhere near FAC, and approach them directly. The more eyes, the better the result. Unfortunately, some editors prefer to avoid TV articles, but that can't be helped I'm afraid. I would suggest not just relying on copy-editors, but to find someone really, really good at prose to help and even if they only copy-edit a section, look at what they do and why. Also look at this article and some of the prose exercises on Tony1's user page; these pages are invaluable for improving prose. If you can see what it is that reviewers see, it reduces the need for copy-editors and avoids some of the problems that one or two articles may have had at FAC recently.

Sorry if this is TL:DR! My first FAC was a massacre on prose grounds, and I know how frustrating the process can be! Although I cannot really help this time, please ping me if you ever want me to take a look at anything before FAC (although that is by no means a guarantee of success!) or if you need the names of any good prose people. Sarastro1 (talk) 21:36, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

• I have to agree with Sarastro here, my first FAC was a folly on prose grounds (this one), while my second was touch and go there despite a copyedit from Malleus (here). I'll be glad to copyedit articles before they are nominated for FAC, assuming I have the time. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:55, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Home (The X-Files)/archive1

Hi, at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Home (The X-Files)/archive1, you stated "Just a question, why is Television Without Pity unreliable? It's owned by NBCUniversal and is just a review site run by writers who have editorial oversight." I went to respond, but I see the FAC has been archived. I used Television Without Pity in a Grey's Anatomy article that I was submitting for FAC this past September. Source expert Nikkimaria told me that the website's authors seemed dubious and not notable. The website is almost definitely reliable, it's just they're not notable enough for anyone to care what they think. See Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sadie Harris/archive1 for brief discussion. Also, as for the X-Files article you wanted me to look at; I've been meaning to get to it, but I've been rather busy. I'll most likely be able to take a look this weekend.

X-Files

Had a quick scan now and the article is in great shape (certainly better than it was last summer!). I think it would now meet the GA criteria with little difficulty, touch wood. Good luck! Lemonade51 (talk) 21:11, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Hijacking this thread: I just watched "Monday" and I think the plot in the article is a little inaccurate. Especially the line "The time loop continues ad nauseam until Pam cannot take it any more. She runs into the building during the hold up and throws herself in front of Mulder just as Bernard once again attempts to shoot him." Despite leaving out a lot of developments that took place in the previous loops, this isn't even true. Mulder calls Scully and tells her to bring Pam into the bank, first of all. What do you think? Glimmer721 ^talk 02:14, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

It's probably a good idea to change it. I think I wrote it when I was patching up season six last year. Now that you mention it, it does need to be changed.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 05:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I'll get on it if I have the time. Glimmer721 ^talk 22:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

The review for Sanguinarium asked for more critical response, can you help out (or clean up what might be missing?) igordebraga ≠ 05:12, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

FAC

To be honest, your best bet might be to withdraw it for the moment and work on it away from FAC. From a quick look, I can see quite a few little things that need tightening; nothing major, but that layer of polish to the prose needed for a FA. There is not much point in my adding these to the FAC; it would be quite a list which would not do you any favours. You have two opposes which probably would take quite a bit of overturning and it would go down better if you did this work somewhere else. If you do withdraw, I would be more than happy to do a detailed review or copy-edit, either informally or as part of PR. Either way, I may be able to have a look next week, but I'm a little busy both on and off wiki this week. Sarastro1 (talk) 19:20, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

No problem at all; I'll get to it in the next week. Ping me if I've not done anything by next Monday. Sarastro1 (talk) 20:45, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

• I think it's looking pretty good at this point. You might want to read through again--sometimes copyeditors will introduce small mistakes when they go through (leaving out a word or something). It's the Quis custodiet ipsos custodes problem, more or less. Mark Arsten (talk) 14:33, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about "The Boat", I had no idea there was a GA review on it!! Also, I won't be able to edit "The Target" until Thursday to bring it up to GA status, due to all my finals in school. Hope that's okay!! Ohh and only 15 more episodes left!! -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 18:25, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: The Office

No it's okay. He just never informed me that the review had started, so I had no idea that it started, so it's good that you took over. Plus, I assumed you were more irritated at me since I wasn't editing it haha. And same here!! My favorite episodes are Work Bus and The Target". I literally think every episode this season is great, and the only bad one will probably be The Farm. It's sad to see it go! -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 20:30, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: The Office stuff

That was my favorite episodes of all time - the fight between Jim and Pam brought me nearly to tears, and then Brian's appearence completely blew my mind - thank god for Greg Daniels. And yeah, I do the first episode, you do the second episode - that way the whole system doesn't get messed up. And my schedule is a bit filled so two episodes would be a bit to complicated lol. -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 04:38, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

The only episode I didn't really like was "Lice" (Why did Darryl randomely not wanna date Val?). But I completely agree. We're officially in the second half of this season. It's gonna be interesting to see what Daniels and the writers fit into the next 11 episodes. The only sad part is that Michael/Steve won't be back :/ -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 04:53, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

That would be perfect!! Just a little phone call with Pam; that would be the perfect end. I hope that really does happen, but if not "Goodbye, Michael" would be a good enough end for the character. -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 05:30, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Adventure Time refs

Picture help

Since you're usually good with finding a free image to use in production sections, I was wondering if you had any ideas for Genesis of the Daleks. It really needs something but there are no free images of any of the people mentioned, and not even one of the quarry where some of it was filmed. (There are free images of Baker and Sladen, but they are hardly discussed, and then there is one of Terry Nation which I would use but it's non-free.) Thanks, Glimmer721 ^talk 19:25, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm stumped. The dry ice part wasn't a very long or important scene, and the section is close to the other picture. I think I'm going to go with a Dalek like "Asylum" to explain the writing. Glimmer721 ^talk 17:29, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Dispute resolution discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved. Content disputes can hold up article development, therefore we are requesting your participation to help find a resolution. The thread is "The X-Files (season 3), The X-Files (season 4), The X-Files (season 5), The X-Files (season 8), The X-Files (season 9)".

Guide for participants If you wish to open a DR/N filing, click the "Request dispute resolution" button below this guide or go to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard/request for an easy to follow, step by step request form. What this noticeboard is: It is an early step to resolve content disputes after talk page discussions have stalled. If it's something we can't help you with, or is too complex to resolve here, our volunteers will point you in the right direction. What this noticeboard is not: It is not a place to deal with the behavior of other editors. We deal with disputes about article content, not disputes about user conduct. It is not a place to discuss disputes that are already under discussion at other dispute resolution forums. It is not a substitute for the talk pages: the dispute must have been discussed extensively on a talk page (not just through edit summaries) before resorting to DRN. It is not a court with judges or arbitrators that issue binding decisions: we focus on resolving disputes through consensus, compromise, and explanation of policy. Things to remember: Discussions should be civil, calm, concise, neutral, and objective. Comment only about the article's content, not the other editors. Participants who go off-topic or become uncivil may be asked to leave the discussion. Let the other editors know about the discussion by posting {{subst:drn-notice}} on their user talk page. Sign and date your posts with four tildes "~~~~". If you ever need any help, ask one of our volunteers, who will help you as best as they can. You may also wish to read through the FAQ page located here and on the DR/N talkpage. Please take a moment to review the simple guide and join the discussion. Thank you! EarwigBot operator / talk 01:17, 20 March 2013 (UTC) The Office I agree. I laughed a bit, and thought the scene between Dwight and his nephew kinda sweet. But yeah, you're right. Dwight as a lead character, surrounded by "wacky family members" just wouldn't work. -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 19:33, 21 March 2013 (UTC) I KNOW. Without Michael, he's just a waste of space.

If he does, then I'll forever praise Greg Daniels. -- NoD'ohnuts (talk) 21:45, 22 March 2013 (UTC)NoD'ohnuts Buffy With the X-Files project wrapping up and The Office ending, I was wondering if you were interested in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I know you did "Welcome to the Hellmouth" a while back). I've started watching the series (recently saw "I, Robot... You, Jane") and I noticed the project was very outdated (the articles haven't even been assessed within the project, for one, so there's not much organization/navigation). I've done some cleanup, but I didn't know if you knew of any good sources. I do know The A.V. Club has reviews. Glimmer721 talk 01:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC) I wanted to (I got "Hellmouth" and Adam up to GA). If I have some free time in the future (which I probably will), I'd love to help out. The project definitely needs some help. You're right, a lot of it is really outdated.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 01:32, 22 March 2013 (UTC) I did some work on "The Harvest". I think I'm going to do general cleanup as I watch. I found an archive for the website used for ratings ([12]), though I'm not sure how reliable that is considered. Glimmer721 talk 21:04, 22 March 2013 (UTC) I'd be willing to at least help clean-up the first season. That would be a good project.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 21:53, 22 March 2013 (UTC) Yeah, especially since it's only 12 episodes and much of the season page can be taken up with how the show was created and casted. I found the BBC episode guide and DVD Talk to be helpful with "Witch". Glimmer721 talk 00:06, 23 March 2013 (UTC) Cool. I'll try to see what I can do over the next few days.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 13:40, 23 March 2013 (UTC) What would you say the importance ratings should be for the Buffy project? I started adding the episodes under "high" since they make up the majority of the canon, but what has already been tagged is mostly inconsistent. Rupert Giles, for instance, is "low" and he's one of the main characters! I was thinking "top" would be reserved for the major characters, Whedon, and the TV show itself. Maybe the season pages? Glimmer721 talk 18:57, 24 March 2013 (UTC) I think that's actually pretty fair. Characters should be important. I would say mythology episodes are really important, but unlike The X-Files, Buffy mixes the mythos with monster-of-the-week storylines. But yeah, this project needs work.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 19:01, 24 March 2013 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (File:Onomatopoeia Flobots.jpg) Thanks for uploading File:Onomatopoeia Flobots.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 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) 04:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC) X-Cops I'll see what I can do. I've been a little pressed for time lately, so it may be quite slow. I've also a few other commitments, so it is possible that it may be more than a week before I get to it. If I haven't done anything in a fortnight, ping me. One little thing I noticed is that the lead is a little cumbersome; it may be worth seeing if you can use any of the lead from The Sixth Extinction II, particularly the more formulaic first two paragraphs. I'll put future comments on the talk page.
