Indiana Jones Fedora

The reference you added regarding the fedora doesn't link to anything. Was there supposed to be a linked url? I think all references are suppposed to in order to count as a reference. I didn't want to revert your edit out-of-hand. Medleystudios72 (talk) 15:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes. there was. Thanks for the concerns. I'll fix it as soon as I can. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 03:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Y Done. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 04:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of which, here's a version of the hat that's the right colour, for your nascent Wikiproject. All the best, Steve ^{T • C} 20:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

I have this thing where every tenth signer gets this barnstar - so, congrats! I try keep it quiet, though, since it slows down the signing around the 8's and 9's. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 23:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Indiana Jones project

First of all, congratulations on putting this together! However, it is rather disappointing that this wasn't proposed to any of the related projects, much less at the appropriate forum. I state this for two reasons: one, projects should already have sufficient numbers of editors on-board prior to formally organizing. The other major reason is that projects of a relatively limited scope such as IJ actually have more disadvantages functioning administratively at the WikiProject-level - there's simply too much bureaucratic maintenance overhead associated with a WikiProject, as well as general guideline redundancy, to be wasting on your editors.

Nonetheless, this isn't to state that the group is not needed - merely, that it would function far more efficiently and effectively as a task force. (If you read those two links, you will find out why in far more detail, and with a great degree of excellent guidance.) This will free up you and your workgroup's participants to actually spend your energies working on the articles, with minimal workgroup maintenance, instead of having to outlay a significant percentage of time maintaining a project itself - and all that goes along with that. Many underestimate the critical importance of this, and it is a key factor involved in why projects of too limited a scope often go inactive. On the positive side, the closer interaction as a task force of a larger project affords more attention by the larger project, as well as a great opportunity for both groups' memberships to cross-pollinate. Additionally, the task force benefits from usage of the larger project's extant processes, guidelines, conventions, and departments without having to re-invent the wheel, and at no cost of time or effort for the editors organizing the task force.

In IJ's case, the project that should look at merging under would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Media franchises first. WikiProject Films may be interested in some involvement, too, although given that the scope of the group goes beyond the films, that might be to a lesser degree.

Please let me know your thoughts, and be aware that I'm happy to answer any further questions you might have. Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, it is a good WikiProject, isn't it? -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 04:51, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Not as a WikiProject, no. (I'm confused, am I being unclear above?) Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 05:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Far, far too narrow in scope for a task force let alone a wikiproject. Are you not aware that wikiprojects have to be proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals first?? The Bald One ^{White cat} 11:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Enough discussions! I know. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 06:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

How can we help to resolve this? Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 17:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm busy working on the mainspace. But what you can do is build up this WikiProject and request it to be approved. Then we can get going with task force construction. (There are already three members and counting.) That's all I can tell you for now. - MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 03:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Please read the cited article, the logo and signage was created in 1990 and introduced company wide in 1991, not in the 1980s. Please stop introducing incorrect information in regards to this fact in the KFC article.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

I reverted this edit because "E.T." refers to the alien, not the film. And I reverted this edit because "race" refers to the alien's species, not a racing competition. Ward3001 (talk) 04:36, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:IndianaTempleDoom.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:IndianaTempleDoom.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Re: Guestbook

Thanks for the offer, but I don't generally approve of guestbooks, as I feel they go somewhat against certain policies. See you around the wiki, though. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

P.S. - Is it just me, or does your talk page header look a little familiar? ;-) Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

What? I'm Alberto García. I've been editing anonymously from my Verizon IP for seven years now, Brett. I only registered THIS account just a little more than a month ago. Through all my experience, I built up the perfect markup for my userspace. I also want to become an administrator, like you. The lucky AllGloryToTheHypnotoad is probably likely to get himself a surprise when I go to see him about his username. Thanks for the reply, though. ;) -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 05:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Celebrities on YouTube

I noticed you moved List of YouTube celebrities to Celebrities on YouTube. Whilst you may believe that matches naming conventions the title change gives the page a whole new meaning; changing it from a list of people who are famous because of their YouTube accounts to be a page where someone would expect to see a list of famous people who also maintain a Youtube account. The move doesn't make sense to me; so I've reverted it. Regards, --Blowdart | ^talk 06:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me. But read WP:NC, it'll tell you something. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 05:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

You need to dig deeper, specifically into the Wikipedia:Lists (stand-alone lists)#Naming_conventions where you will see "List of" is specifically encouraged. So if you have been changing a lot of lists I'd consider moving them back. --Blowdart | ^talk 14:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Your Sig

What's the point of your giant flamboyant signature? John Reaves 08:54, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering the same thing myself.--Aervanath lives in the Orphanage 07:20, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

The answer is simple. In 1995, when my website first went online, I thought of a signature which would attract Internet users to my website. A few days later, I decided to make myself a signature with this code:

<font color="red"><b><em>MISTER ALCOHOL</em></b></font>

...thus making this:

MISTER ALCOHOL

And I used it for over three years. The current version of my signature has been used since 1999, when I realized that I could have it in a font which would be more beer-like. It took me some time to think about it, and thus I used this code:

<font face="Brush Script MT" color="red" size=4>MISTER ALCOHOL</font>

...to make this:

MISTER ALCOHOL

And there you have it. I have used this signature since the very start of my website, and I continue to use it to this day. When I created this account back in October after being anonymous here for seven years, I decided to add on the ^{T C} buttons to make it easier for other people to visit my pages. Thanks for your questions. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^{T C} 05:10, 10 December 2008
