Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight edit

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

Yay! Thanks! BillyH 07:07, 27 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Congratulations! edit

I'm pleased to inform you that you are now an administrator. Please consider reading all the material on the administrators' reading list before testing out your new privileges. Though everything you do, excluding image deletions and page history merges, is reversible, you should nevertheless be very careful with your sysop capabilities. For instructions, please see the administrators' how-to guide. Good luck! — Dan | Talk 23:38, 9 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! And a thank you to all who contributed to the RFA. I've taken the namespace comments on board, and will definitely edit more in the Talk and Wikipedia namespaces from now on. BillyH 00:44, 10 October 2005 (UTC)Reply
Ditto to the congrats and great to read your comment above Dlyons493 Talk 02:31, 10 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedians by age edit

Leave this page alone! What you did is vandalism, a fine new task for an admin. You didn't even bother to add our names to the wiki meta page, just trashed the page, SqueakBox 14:16, 15 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Popups tool edit

Congratulations on being made an admin! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is to paste the following into User:BillyH/archive2/monobook.js:

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line 

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="' 
             + 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js' 
             + '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupShortcutKeys=true; // optional: enable keyboard shortcuts
popupAdminLinks=true;   // optional: enable admin links

There are more options which you can fiddle with listed at Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. Give it a try and let me know if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! (Sorry about my editing confusion just now...) Lupin|talk|popups 00:11, 21 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Mickey Mouse edit

Just wanted to say, good work on correcting the closedown / restart info at 1939 in television and 1946 in television. Makes me feel rather ashamed to have been propagating myths all these years! Oh well, we live and learn. I should do some research sometimes, it might help! I don't know what I'm doing... Angmering 19:20, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

The Devil and Homer Simpson edit

You "removed wackyness from image description". I originally posted that description with reason. For Homer -- that was his idea of Heaven. So, why did you doo the change? -- Jason Palpatine 23:07, 3 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

The language of Wikipedia should be formal, and not include words like 'uh'. Saying the scene is from "Heaven... uh Hell" is confusing to readers, it should just state what the scene is instead of cracking a joke. BillyH 07:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Chuckle Brothers edit

Please see the talk page for Chuckle Brothers. I think the facts for Barry Chuckles affair actually check out. What steps did you take to confirm/deny that the accusations had been made?

A Grand Day Out edit

Please see Talk:A Grand Day Out for discussion of its release date. --KJBracey 11:44, 24 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Images for deletion edit

Thanks for letting me know about the three images. Sorry, I wouldn't have uploaded them originally if I'd known they were already uploaded. I have made the changes accordingly to BBC Television Idents. Can you let me know if there are possibly any more ident images that are duplicated by those I have uploaded. Thanks again.

CLOSE edit

Hi, Please contribute to Talk:CLOSE. User:Arbiteroftruth seemingly hasn't a clue and still insists that there is something called CLOSE separate from "Pages from Ceefax".

Comment about Image:Channel 5 edit

I think you should have replaced the old image with your new one

I couldn't - the old image was a .gif, and the new image is the better .png. Besides, Channel 5.png is a better name than C5 croydon.gif. BillyH 16:23, 6 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Looking for some help! edit

An abusive admin has blocked my pal on IP address 24.147.103.146. The admin is named Gamaliel. This admin has been reported in the past by 24.147.103.146 for copyright violation and made to revert. He must be holding a grudge. It may also be due to his POV on the Kennedys and his past invlovement in edit wars. The reason given for the block was an old RFC on Ted Kennedy. My pal added appropiate links to other Kennedy pages not mentioned in the RFC. The admin is pro Kennnedy so he blocked my pal. In any case, this is an abuse of his priv and I ask your help in bringing this to light. Thank you193.120.103.205 06:04, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: Star TV List (CBeebies) edit

Your removal of the whole list from this article is fine, but you comment in the edit summary that none of the shows have been shown on Cbeebies, is wrong. There is one on the list, Fireman Sam, which has been shown on CBeebies, and is still part of their current schedule, and mentioned on their website. Its already mentioned in the examles list, so that's fine. Just pointed out to you... Thor Malmjursson 11:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

My mistake, sorry. I'd forgotten that despite being an S4C show it was also shown on the BBC. BillyH 13:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

LWT edit

Sorry i was misinformed. Can you give the real schedule and times for that last day just out of interest. PMA 15:19, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The startup was broadcast before the ITV Morning News at 5:30am. Then the recreation of the 1978-86 ident at 11:20pm, before The South Bank Show, then the goodbye from Trish and Glen and LWT montage at 12:20am, before Jonathan Dimbleby. See the clips here: [1] (this link appears to have the timings of the last two clips out by an hour, judging by other websites). BillyH 17:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Barnstar edit

  The Original Barnstar
I award you this barnstar for your tireless contributions to all aspects of British comics. Great stuff!

Wow, a barnstar at last! Thanks! BillyH 20:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The Soul Cages edit

I noticed your edit to the track listing for the Sting album The Soul Cages. Oddly, I have seen that track called "Part 1" and "Part 2" in different places (for example, it's called Part 2 here and here but not in the discography on Sting's Web site. I'm trying to really compile a comprehensive reference on Sting's life and works, so this seemingly minor detail is important to me. Sting's albums often have different track listings and even different track NAMES depending on the version. In your opinion, what should I be using? Stick to the US release track listings? Use Sting's Web site as canon regarding track names? Any input appreciated! Aguerriero 15:56, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I think you must be mistaken - all I did was move the name of the article from Soul Cages to The Soul Cages. It was User:WvanGent who edited the tracklisting. BillyH 17:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks - Chalkboard Gag comment edit

Thank you for the clarifying comment in your edit to the chalkboard gag ("It's scientifically impossible for a 1998 blackboard gag to reference a 2003 episode"). I had reverted it earlier because I did not understand why 171.159.64.10 had removed it. --KNHaw 19:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

The artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince edit

File:Prince (artist).svg

I've created an vector version of the infamous symbol using Inkscape, and uploaded it to the commons, so I've listed your upload (Image:Princesymbol.png) for deletion. — May. 20, '06 [09:42] <freak|talk>
