Animation

Hi Jeff! I've noticed that you've been adding quite abit about animation and animation studios. Thanks! I hope you find Wikipedia an inviting and engaging place, and decide to stay. Your contributions are very much appreciated. One quick thing: there's a particular style that editors are encouraged to use when writing articles. It's described at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. Best wishes, and happy editing! --Diberri | Talk 22:03, Sep 2, 2004 (UTC)

Charlie Dog

I have no idea what's up with that contributor. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish between trolls, the clueless, and the insane... —tregoweth 00:02, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

Tregoweth, what's the protocol for discussions in Wikipedia? Do I post on your page and you respond on my page? Just not too familiar with it yet. Btw, this same "contributor" (to use the term lightly) has also vandalized the Bugs Bunny page and mentioned my name twice on Talk:Main_Page to try and blame me for vandalism. Thanks, Jeff schiller 00:08, 2004 Nov 24 (UTC)

Going back and forth between user pages seems to be the protocol. Not the greatest system, but eh. —tregoweth 00:17, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

Jeff schiller, if you look at 1974 in television, and 1978 in television, the title of would-be his 1970s cartoon is listed, but I could not find the title on Google or on any website, you deleted.

Disco Dog

No, I was not aware of that. No wonder I was having hard time finding anything. Anyway, I was going to re-edit 1974-1978 in television and remove this show. Thanks much for your pointers, though; I would still be uncertain what to do if it was not for your note.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 16:48, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

This "Disco Dog" guy is at it again, now vandalizing my talk page. I was out of the country during his last flurry of faux edits (as User:4.188.99.28, 4.188.100.83, 4.160.183.136, etc.). Do you know what happened? Was he reported? Was his IP blocked? Now he seems to be using 65.54.155.15, 65.54.154.48 and similar IPs, and he's posting about the Charlie/Disco Dog nonsense again.

SVG

Hi, Jeff, Glad to see the SVG 1.2 history has now reached a consensus that people are happy with. I hadn't actually joined wikipedia to edit in that particular area, hence the different name, but was astonished to see the error and had to leap in and correct it. Are you planning to add articles on CDF as well? --Nantonos 20:01, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

De-Categorization of Cartoon Characters

I noticed you removed several categorization of Looney Tunes characters (Charlie Dog, Sniffles, Daffy Duck). Your statement was that they should not be categorized under a category and a sub-category. I agree, however "Fictional Dogs" is a different category than "Animated Characters". Cujo is not an animated character and Bugs Bunny is not a dog. Can you please revert all your edits in this vein? I agree with Yosemite Sam and Bosko edits though. Perhaps Charlie Dog should be a "Fictional Dog" and a "Looney Tunes Character" but not an "Animated Character"? Jeff schiller 21:28, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

• The issue has nothing to do with dogs, etc. The issue is that these articles are already in Looney Tunes characters (LTC), and LTC is a sub of Animated Characters. By categorization policy, it should only be in the more specific one. It has nothing to do with the additional Dogs/Rabbits/Pigs/etc categories. Those are down a separate branch of the category tree.

More Charlie Dog Stuff

• I had a argument with Jeff Schiller anyway of removing popular references to Charlie, but in confusion I think he denied all of that. I did not know before September or October 2004 was there wasn't any show featuring both dogs? Do a search on Google for me. :(

I hope you can listen and understand me. I don't know if you are intentionally being a vandal or have some problem understanding me and others who have reverted your changes. I am not denying that we have had disagreements about Charlie Dog, but you continue to inject your comments into other people's conversations/topics. If you insist on stating that Charlie Dog appeared in a television show then I am willing to listen to your arguments as long as they make sense. Can you follow these steps: 1) I do not even know your name, please let me know your name. 2) Can you create an account with wikipedia? If you are convinced you are correct, then please stop using an anonymous login when you make edits to Wikipedia as this makes you look like a vandal. 3) Can you produce any evidence of this show that you are talking about? I believe you are confusing Scooby Doo with Charlie Dog, but if you have any proof (other than what's in your mind) that such a show existed then I'm willing to listen. Until you follow the above steps, it will be very hard to make your case as it appears us that are simply vandalising pages. Thanks, Jeff schiller 14:08, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I think I have little problems with you and other people. Are you saying I saw the show on both dogs on television, last year? No, this was 20 years ago, when it was in reruns. I am not sure which show featured both of them? I would like the real title of it.

User:Unknown person Phone number: (812) 344-0599

No, I'm not saying you saw the dogs on television last year. But you didn't follow my instructions: let me know your name and create a wikipedia account. Instead you gave a phone number... Jeff schiller 18:03, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Jeff, if you ever decide to call this guy, please let me know what you find out. I am dead curious what this might lead to. So far, this discussion has been beyond belief. :))—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 22:02, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

I have never confused Scooby with Charlie, these both cartoon dogs are not the same breed, I am not sure he had any new films in 2002, 2004 and 2005? Is there anyone compared to the little dog? No, not any other character is himself! User:Unknown person

Good job. I think Vitaphone means well, but he or she does like to edit with guns blazing. I think Pietro left because of it. — BrianSmithson 03:46, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

SVG edit question.

Hello,

There is a question I would like to ask you regarding your recent edit to the Scalable Vector Graphics article. Just out of curiosity, do you know if the GIMP developers ever claim that support for Scalable Vector Graphics would be available? Folajimi 14:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)^(talk)

• SVG can be imported and exported, albeit probably not in the way most users would suspect (hey, like GIMP would ever win awards for usability...). It can only export "paths", you can't do a "save as..." and specify SVG. Counterintuitive? Very yes. Enough people whining about it for something to change? Not really. Just thought you might want to know, Jeff. Keep up the good work. 68.100.68.23 04:14, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

BATMAN BEGINS 2 casting rumors

Jeff, just thought I'd let you know that those fanboy casting rumors for the BATMAN BEGINS sequel keep reappearing in the BATMAN BEGINS and JOKER articles. I agree that they should not be in the article. After the role is cast, then it would be acceptable to add something like "and so-and so was also considered for the part", if even that is really neccessary (IMO only if its someone really off beat or unexpected). Thanks.

Wikipedia:WikiProject American animation

Charlie and the Cholocate Factory? (Let me try to spell that one, correctly.) Well, I think it was that movie featuring the dog.

Your reverts are bad

You have reverted Booles in the SVG page and this is wrong.
According to the guidelines, the list of external links must remain small, and links to commercial products must be avoided. Booles has made an excellent work, not you. Spankman 14:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Superman Returns

I've made massive cuts and changes to this article:

• forked off all the crap and cruft to a side article that is better suited for it
• tried to clean up the writing in many of the sections
• massively re-ordering of all the categories to make more sense
• lost the table for the Cast section to reformat per the Casablanca and Revenge of the Sith articles
• Tried to de-fan the synopsis and expand it slightly; will probably trim that even more after (wanted to clean first)
• production budget section was a mess, I think that's better

Most neeeding immediate help:

• Box office results
• Reactions (yuck)
• Promotion of the film - do we need a zillion links there?

Might need deleting:

• Related Superman Returns media

Would you be willing to take a crack at just de-fan-izing it further, and taking out any weasle-word stuff I missed? rootology (T) 01:31, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice (and nice cuts on the synopsis). I'll let it sit for the weekend to see how it goes. rootology (T) 05:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

"Licence" is correct, for the noun

Thanks for checking Alternative terms for free software for typos, but this one was a false postive. "Licence" is the noun, "license" is the verb. This is true for UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand (and India). In the USA, they use "license" for both (and the Philippines). Gronky 09:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia allows both USA English and British English. There are various rules for when to use each. One is that articles on USA topics should use the former and articles on British (or ex-colonies') topics should use the latter - although for global issues and non-geographical topics, like many free software topics, that doesn't apply. Another is that articles should be internally consistant. The last is that simply changing from one to the other is not acceptable - this just avoids friction. As you'll guess, the last two can sometimes conflict. Gronky 14:13, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

"Happy Rabbit": discussion reopened

Just a heads up that I've reopened the question you raised about the precursors to Bugs Bunny being identified as one character named Happy Rabbit. There is no question in my mind that you had a very good point, and the linked-in source was insufficient given its own nature and the many solid reference works to the contrary. Ted Watson 20:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Another user and I have been following this "Happy Rabbit" question with great interest, and I am currently undertaking an "investigation", of sorts, to find the truth about the so-called "precursor" to Bugs Bunny. You are welcome to go to my talk page and participate in the discussion. — Cinemaniac 20:26, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Danielle Ate the Sandwich

A tag has been placed on Danielle Ate the Sandwich requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
