The Office fix-up
Hello. You seem to be a big fan of The Office, so I wanted to ask if you could help me with something. Recently, the article for the character of Jan Levenson got changed from "Levinson" to "Levenson", as the latter is how NBC spells her name. Many Office-related articles that mention or link to the character's article still use "Levinson", causing a redirect. I was wondering if you could help me in fixing those links and mentions to "Levenson". Thanks. - Cartoon Boy (talk) OO:13, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
- Sure, I'd be glad to help. Click here to see all the pages that have "Jan Levinson" in them, then just correct the Office related ones. I'll start fixing some of them now. Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:56, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
:)
Thanks for the wikilinking of the pages I've been creating, I'm just on on a roll, today. :) Next is David Straiton, and I'm calling it a day, LOL. QuasyBoy 19:18, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- No problem, whenever I see new articles created for writers/directors from you in my watchlist, I always rush to see what shows they've worked on that I've watched, then rush to add the links. Thanks to my slight OCD, haha. Keep up the good work. :) Drovethrughosts (talk) 19:29, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, It's just been my thing lately especially if a director has a A LOT of credits for A LOT of popular shows and no one bothers to create stubs for them. The David Straiton page is up now, go wild! :) QuasyBoy 19:43, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- I pre-linked some David Straiton links after I replied to stay ahead of the curve as I'm on my way out. I'll keep my eye out for any new creations in the future. Later. Drovethrughosts (talk) 19:49, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
No prob, Thanks for the help. :) QuasyBoy 19:51, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
TV seasons categories
I don't mean to be a pain, but having multiple folks trying to help do this at the same time makes it impossible to know what has been done and what hasn't. I promise you I'll finish the job, though it may take hours. Courcelles 02:31, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, sure, no big deal. Was going to help out with the re-categorization for the shows I watch, but I'll leave it for now. Have fun! Drovethrughosts (talk) 02:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Goodbye, Michael
These guys wanting that link to the leaked script on the page don't seem to be going away. You think a request for semi-protection is warranted yet? SchrutedIt08 (talk) 05:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea since it's been going on since the 25th and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. Man, it's been annoying. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:53, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well it looked as though it had stopped, certainly tapered off for a few days but now some bloody wanker has started adding it again. I don't suppose you know how to get a page protected, I've never had to do it before? SchrutedIt08 (talk) 03:53, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I just requested it for semi-protection. Drovethrughosts (talk) 15:04, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Great, so it was protected after an IP undid your edit... Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:29, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well I guess that's a start at least, but the problem will be convincing others that the content doesn't belong on the page. All these anonymous editors don't seem willing to acknowledge the fact that the script is a total fake. I don't see how we're going to be able to reach a consensus with a bunch of unregistered users, or one unregistered user using multiple IP addresses. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 22:58, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
I am the unregistered user who was undoing the changes this morning, so i signed up for an account to discuss this with you. I really feel that this is something of public interest, and I find this frustrating because I followed the link from the page to the script in question, found it interesting, sent it on to friends, and then they came back to me and said that the cited information was gone from the wiki page. Anyway, I'm sure you can understand why that it annoying. So how can we keep the information on here? I have seen the script in discussions ranging from blogs to message boards to Like pages on peoples facebook, to the cited salon.com article. It's clearly being discussed in the public sphere and I am sure the script's views are in the tens of thousands, if not higher. So it exists, it's widely known, and I dont know what else is needed for it to be included -- I am only pushing this because I am new to wiki editing and it just doesnt feel right to me that I found this script THROUGH wiki and now when i pass on the wiki article to friends, it's not there. it feels wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Officeeditor11 (talk • contribs) 21:37, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
- Please contribute to the discussion at Talk:Goodbye, Michael instead, as I'm not the only one involved with this. Thank you. —Drovethrughosts (talk) 23:33, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Twin Peaks pilot
Hello,
Sorry to bug you again, but I'd like to ask some advice. I was looking at the article Pilot (Twin Peaks), which begins with the words '"Pilot" (also known as "Northwest Passage") is the premiere episode of the mystery television series Twin Peaks..."'. This seems odd, since (as per our previous conversation), the episode isn't called "Pilot", but rather is the pilot. Before I start mucking about with the wording, I just thought I'd ask if you know a good reason why it may be written this way, since you seem to know a lot about the episodes and their titling. Any advice would be gratefully received! Cop 663 (talk) 02:33, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
- Well, the episode is both a pilot and titled "Pilot", like many other television shows' pilots. I doubt any controversy would arise if you changed the wording a little, to something like "The pilot episode, also known as "Northwest Passage", of the mystery television series Twin Peaks...". Some articles use that wording, so I doubt any changes would cause any problems (it's also not a high-traffic article). Good luck! —Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
V
Hello :). Just letting you know, the website for UK ratings you need to put in the date, and the channel (unless you wanna look through every channel) and you'll see the information. Put April, 2010 and then the second date option. It's the one show on "Syfy" for all the weeks it was on and the first week all their showing combined were seen by 1.56 million. Jayy008 (talk) 23:41, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
- The reference is a little confusing, as you have to do a bit of work to actually get the information, plus you also have to add up the various numbers to get the 1.5 million. Also, there's no indication of what episode actually aired (it just says "V SEASON 1"), or if it was multiple repeats of the pilot or the first few episodes of the season. It's more more common to simply state how many viewers it received when it originally aired, and it got 292,000 (source). At the very least, that reference should be used stating the original viewership. Then include that with multiple airings throughout the week it reached 1.5 million. The BARB ref needs to be clarified though, including the date where the figures can be found, it also mistakenly says Sky1 not Syfy. Drovethrughosts (talk) 00:45, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- I know, I will change the Sky1 thing now. Also, The Guardian state they're using ratings from "BARB" however the viewing figures from there says 481,000. Either way, we have to use the primary source which is, BARB. They're 100% all the first episode, as the second episode didn't premiere until the following week. You're correct, though, we should just use the original airing. I will make all the changes now. Jayy008 (talk) 14:30, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, it's fine now. Though I did make some minor wording changes, corrected "it's" to "its", and used consistent date formatting. Drovethrughosts (talk) 15:07, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. Also, I think the guardians article saying "premiere" meant a new episode. For some reason, here in the UK, Syfy says "A UK premiere" for every episode. Jayy008 (talk) 19:30, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Freaks and Geeks
Thank you for formatting my reference. Dlabtot (talk) 05:47, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. I figured one of the commentary tracks could be used as a reference, I just couldn't remember which one where they discusses that (there are 28 of them! Haha). Thanks for getting a reference in there. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Breaking Bad
Hello, I posted this on the Breaking Bad talk page, but then though I could ask you directly!
I had an edit undone because it should be "original channel only"? Is that wiki policy or the done thing? I thought it would be nice for those in the UK to know it was actually available over here (I didn't know until I made the change). If so, fair enough, but just thought I would ask for clarification! Cheers Heywoodg 18:40, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- For the lead, it's usually more common to simply list the original channel and its country of origin. Because once you list another country/channel, it'll probably encourage others to list more, bloating the lead. Listing international broadcasters is fine, but usually that goes into a "International broadcast" section, but the Breaking Bad article does not have one. Feel free to create a section for that, adding in the UK information, which is notable, but remember to include a reference for it as well. Drovethrughosts (talk) 19:17, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation (which sounds logical enough) and suggestion! Cheers Heywoodg 14:02, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
Search Committee
I've started a preliminary page for The Office season finale here. I will move it to an episode page when there is more information available. If you have something or anything to contribute that would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 02:15, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
- It looks good, there's not that much info released right now so there's not that much else that could be added at the moment. The only changes I would make would be minor wording changes in the lead, noting it's the hour-long seventh season finale right at the beginning, instead at the end; mainly for consistency with previous season finale articles. Again, just very minor things with the placement of the words, but it's all good. Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:55, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Restless
Nice work on Restless (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) so far! I've had this article on my back burner for a long time but never got up the gumption to actually start working on it. Let me know if you'd like any help copyediting, etc., as you work. Here is a source I was considering using (I haven't even read all of it yet, but if you find anything useful in it feel free to work it in). Best, rʨanaɢ (talk) 14:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! I doubt it'll even come close to matching the quality of the "Hush", "The Body", or "Once More, with Feeling" articles, but I definitely want to expand it as the article deserves it. Right now, I'm mainly using Whedon's commentary and the Season 4 Overview featurette as my references. And yeah, Slayage has lots of great articles that can be worked it, but now I'm just concentrating on getting all the notes I have from the commentary in the article. Feel free to do any copyediting as well, as I'm sure there might be some small errors in grammar. Now back to work! Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:38, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
The Walking Dead
Regulars sections are only allowed when the infobox covers the episodes list, when it doesn't, not even that is allowed. I will try and find the guidelines for you. Jayy008 (talk) 17:37, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
- I was told there isn't exactly a "Guideline" but it's the usual stuff. It needs to be sourced, notable. The list is unsourced. Jayy008 (talk) 21:45, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Community production codes
Hi. May I ask how do you know the episodes' production codes? If you give me the source then you won't have to keep correcting my mistakes. Thanks! - Yk3 talk ~ contrib 20:14, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- As there wasn't any source for these online, since the press releases simply state the number as what it is airing as and not the production number, and the show itself doesn't include them in the credits because technically they're not production codes, just basic number designations, as not all shows have production codes. I was curious and wanted to know for the Wikipedia article, so I joined Twitter and asked the show's creator Dan Harmon and he responded (here's the tweets [1], [2], [3], [4]). So what's listed in the episode tables are correct, so just look there for the production numbers. Also, the Community (season 1) article needs some clean-up regarding the plot summaries, not sure if you'd be interested in cutting down those lengthy summaries. Anyway, great job on the episode articles for Community! Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:43, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
- I gotta say, that's pretty awesome. And I should've realized they were all there in the episode tables. Thanks! - Yk3 talk ~ contrib 20:56, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Treme episodes
We've got to do something about this Richardsan guy. I've left him a final notice warning on his talk page (I see he hasn't responded to either of our comments) but I'm thinking he's not just going to stop now. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 12:57, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's quite annoying, and even more annoying when the person doesn't bother responding on their talk page, it's not like the person doesn't know they have a message. The thing is, it's not outright vandalism, he's just adding information that's not really notable or related to the page he's putting it on. Sure, the character mentioned that event, but it's not related to the episode's plot whatsoever. The main point he's adding is the real-life events, which is even more not related to the show, and unsourced. Not sure what we can do. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:52, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- I stumbled across this, and I agree that it's trivia; the first stage is to initiate a conversation on the talk page to try to build a consensus, which I've initiated for you, even extending a personal invitation to Richardsan to join in. As this is a content dispute, any real intervention is probably not going to come from AIV (unless Richardsan just fails to take part in any conversation), but from dispute resolution, and only if talks fail to resolve anything. He's already in violation of WP:BRD, so he needs to get involved in the discussion. KnownAlias X 10:30, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
Buffy episodes mess-in-the-making
Hello. Have you checked out what's been happening on the Buffy pages? Anonymous users and a new one (I think it's the same person with a name, finally) have been adding hundreds of edits, turning the ep pages into a real mess of OR and trivia. Take a look at The Harvest and tell me what you think. I believe the intentions are good--they're trying to expand the pages--but it's kind of a mess. I've reverted some of the most agregious, but don't even know where to start on some of the pages where there are dozens of changes. I'd like your opinion. Thanks.--TEHodson 02:49, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Has all this been resolved now? I took a look the IPs talk pages, and it seems fine now, is it? Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:28, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Pretty much. I meant to leave you a message sooner, but I've been unwell today. Sorry. There appear to be some edits left which weren't easily reverted, but the two guys who did it all have stopped. I encouraged them to stay and learn and contribute, but they declined. I'll go through all the eps later when I feel better, or if you want to, leave me a message to that effect. Thanks.--TEHodson 22:32, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- I briefly looked through the episode articles that were edited, and they look pretty fine now. Also, not sure if you've checked out the Restless (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) article I recently cleaned up an did a major expansion on (waiting on a GA review), if you want you could take a look at it and make any necessary copyedits and/or improvements. Drovethrughosts (talk) 23:47, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yes! I love, love, love that episode. A masterpiece of surrealistic filmmaking. Maybe I'll add a section about that--Cocteau, Maya Deren, Bunuel influences. Do you think that would be appropriate? I was an expressionistic, surrealistic filmmaker for many years. I wonder what sources I could find to back up my ideas. I have no idea whether anyone's analyzed Buffy eps in terms of the filmmaking, per se. Do you?--TEHodson 23:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for your contributions! Although I corrected a bit, it was Tara that said those words not the First Slayer. There's a good resource from Slayage earlier in my talk page in the #Restless section. Drovethrughosts (talk) 00:19, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I clarified that below, that it was Tara speaking for the Slayer, wasn't it? --TEHodson 00:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hm, I guess that is true. In the last sequence in the desert, Tara is speaking for the First Slayer as she can't speak. But in Buffy's bedroom, it's just Tara and Buffy, so it's hard to state that she's also talking for the First Slayer there as well. For simplicity, maybe just leave it as Tara, unless a source can be given. I know Joss refers to Tara as a spirit guide in her dreams. Drovethrughosts (talk) 00:46, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
I think her words should be in the plot summary, only because they are the last words of the ep, too (Buffy hears them in her head as she looks at either her own room or the one which will become Dawn's (have to check). I'll check, too, about Drac, but I was pretty certain he uses the exact same words. I just watched those episodes! Will double check, though.--TEHodson 00:30, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- The words are in the plot summary. The phrase is slightly different when Dracula says it, I've looked at transcripts for the episodes. In Restless, it's "You think you know who you are, what's to come. You haven't even begun." while Dracula says "You think you know. What you are, what's to come... you haven't even begun." Very small difference, but it's not exact. Drovethrughosts (talk) 00:46, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- I see. What interests me most about this episode is the formal aspect of it. There has been very little formal filmmaking on TV; Restless and Hush are the only two examples of it I have ever seen--even David Lynch's Twin Peaks doesn't really qualify (except possibly in the ep with the dream sequence) because, in my opinion, he's a more intuitive filmmaker than a cerebral one, and his ideas are a good deal less organized than Whedon's. Joss, when talking about The Body, said he did NOT want it to be a formal exercise as Hush and Restless had been because the emotional content was much too important to be so reductive about things (still, The Body is a study in form), and I'd like to find a way to put that in (but can't see a natural way right now, unless I expand on the Filmmaking section to include more about the context of the ep in the larger world of surrealist film. I will have to read up some on that before attempting it. You did a great job with this article, by the way. And thanks for inviting me to add my bits and bobs--the usual thing re Buffy eps seems to be ownership issues, so this was a nice change of pace. I may do some more after a bit of research.--TEHodson 00:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, feel free to add anything new that will improve the article, additions/improvements are welcome! Anyway, I'm off for the night. Nice talking to you, and definitely reply here again if you need to with new stuff. Drovethrughosts (talk) 01:04, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Are you serious? She hasn't been around for an entire season, she's gone! The list is for current regular cast, she's a past member, how can she be "regular" when she's not on the show anymore? Hearfourmewesique (talk) 00:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, but you're incorrect. Actors that were a part of the main cast at any point are listed as that even if they depart from the series, because articles look at the subject as a whole, not what currently is. Read MOS:TV if you need verification. Drovethrughosts (talk) 00:50, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Prison Break
Really curious why everyone is so against the fact that Gacy was never held in that cell at Joliet. I was in Joliet and know for a fact he was never held there. I even left sources to back up my claim, yet you removed the section from the page. May I ask why? Myklj999 (talk) 08:39, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Regardless if this is included, it doesn't need its own section, as it doesn't have to do with the show. There's also sources that he was held briefly and then executed at Joliet—[5] [6] [7]. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:48, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Dude, he was executed at Statesville which is outside of Joliet, not Joliet Correctional Center. There hasn't been a death row at Joliet for over 40 years. Talk to real prisoners, don't buy into hyped up articles that are based on conjecture, I was there from December of '79 to September of '80. And since it is mentioned in the article that it was filmed in Gacy's cell, I thought a section refuting this rumor was valid. Myklj999 (talk) 14:59, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, well I'm still going to edit the information you added. It shouldn't be its own section in the article (a section tiled "Possible Rumor" definitely has no place in an encyclopedia), as it's only talking about something that has nothing to do with the article at hand. I'm going to insert the information into the Filming section where it has the information about them filming in John Wayne Gacy's cell. Thank you for your contributions.

Congratulations on the GA! You guys both put a lot of work into it (and waited a long time for the review), it's well-deserved! rʨanaɢ (talk) 13:25, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! And I'd like to thank you for your copyedit work to the article, very much appreciated! Drovethrughosts (talk) 20:33, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- I assume you saw my reply on my Talk page, but wanted to say Good Work! here, too. What's next?--TEHodson 07:13, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- I thank you for always catching my errors (that sounds sarcastic, but isn't!). I'm always concentrating on what I'm saying and trying to say it well, and I forget where should be quotes, italics, and I make other little errors; I always mean to go back to re-read what I've done, but you always get there first and see with fresh eyes, and I think that has really helped the article grow over these past weeks, filling in each other's gaps, is what I mean. I'm proud of our work; hope you are, too.--TEHodson 23:05, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
- I have got to stop writing in the middle of the night!! It's when I have time and the quiet to do so, but I'm tired and seem to miss even the most obvious things. I started to write, then realized I was in the wrong paragraph and began again and if you had asked, I would have sworn I'd deleted the other....so sorry, and so grateful. Thank you for once again saving my ass (and, more importantly, the article).--TEHodson 18:24, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- No problem! I always check the latest changes to the article, and see if anything needs to be fixed, even if it's the smallest nitpicky-type thing. And yes, I've very proud of the article, one of the few articles which I really completely overhauled (see the beginnings here). But it probably wouldn't have made it to GA without all your help, so I'll thank you once again! Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:23, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oh my! Really amazing job. What I do best is writing, copyediting, helping with structure. I don't have either the time nor the inclination to start articles or do tons of research, but I'm a writer and editor, in real life, that is, so that's something I can offer, even on articles whose subject I may have little knowledge about. If what you need is a fixin' of the prose, I'm your man (except that I'm a woman) so call on me if you want to tackle another article. I like that you don't fight for ownership, but allow others to give what they can. It makes working with you a pleasure. I was kinda thinking about the Passion episode...?--TEHodson 04:30, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, Alex. Someone has just shown up on the Restless talk page and wants to make substantial trims to the Plot section. Can you check out his suggestions and see what you think. I don't know if I agree with what he says, and would like you to weigh in. Thanks.--TEHodson 01:35, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
- I actually was writing a lengthy reply with my opinion after I made those changes, and then there was an edit conflict with your reply. Now, I feel my comment isn't necessary anymore, haha. Well, that's if he's satisfied with the changes. But I honestly don't feel like I need to satisfy his needs because he thinks the plot summary is too long. His suggestions were good, but I don't feel like nitpicking at the summary for another week to get rid of another 100 words. I mean, if it can get copyedited so these 10 words can be said in 5 and still get the point across, then sure. But if he means certain sentences need be be completely cut, then I have an opinion about that. Drovethrughosts (talk) 19:46, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
- I don't feel we do, either, but I think what we did tightened it up a bit, so it turned out to benefit the article. I certainly wasn't going to go farther than the bits I trimmed without your approval. And at least he went to the talk page, not the article itself, and wasn't obnoxious. If a new GA article creates an alert, I suppose it's inevitable that someone will come and have something to say. I made one more change, as I felt we needed to make it clear that Tara's word were mysterious. See you later, no doubt.--TEHodson 20:53, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
The Walking Dead season 2
I had a couple of things I wanted to bring up to you, since you're a pretty vigilant editor on that page. AMC has updated their website ([8]) to include cast & crew details. It looks like they've added the writing/directing credits for episode two as well but it doesn't officially state that as being so, even though we know that Ernest Dickerson is directing episode two. Can we add Kirkman's name as well or this not official enough? Also you'll notice that Darabont is not credited as having written the premiere and that someone called Ardeth Bey is. I remembered that was a character from The Mummy movies so I did a little digging and found [9], which implies that Bey is a pseudonym for Darabont. Looks like the fallout from his firing isn't over yet so I was wondering what to do about all that. Any thoughts? Cheers. SchrutedIt08 (talk) 02:39, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- I saw this earlier and was confused when I saw the name Ardeth Bey and Googled it and it was that character from The Mummy, I thought it was some weird error on the AMC website. It's probably best to leave as is for now, as it's not 100% clear Kirkman is writing episode 2 and is not just a co-writer for episode 1, as it's all under episode 1. Season 2 premieres next week, so we might as well just wait and make any necessary changes then. That's my opinion anyway. :) Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Discussion on the Buffyverse page
You might want to come see what's up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Buffyverse We could use your input.--TEHodson 20:16, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
- We've reached an agreement on the issue (I think) and could really use your help with the research/writing needing to be done. Are you available and interested?--TEHodson 19:37, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry for not replying to you earlier. I've been following much of that discussion through the various talk pages it's occurred on, and wow, what a headache! That's mainly why I didn't get involved, and I honestly don't have any strong feelings for or against the matter. As much as I love Buffy, I don't feel concerned for all the character articles for the minor characters, it's not something on my radar in terms of my work on Wikipedia. I loved working on the "Restless" article, because I had the drive and passion to do so; I don't have that motivation for those character articles. Anyway, I hope you're not disappointed with my response. Maybe in the future we can tag-team another Buffy episode article. :) Drovethrughosts (talk) 14:19, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- I understand, and am glad you showed up to check the Joyce article and make the correction re her other appearances. I hadn't got to that point yet, myself. I'm also glad because your corrections help to argue against the notion of article ownership, an issue which makes me crazy. Don't know if you've seen Moni's talk page or the Buffyverse page re this issue, but every time someone else comes in and proves that more than one person is needed to make an article good and right, it helps.--TEHodson 19:02, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
V continues
Hey, where can I find the proof therefor that ABC finishes V with 8 episodes? ;)--NiciWhite (talk) 09:02, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- There is no proof, a random IP editor is adding that information, claiming to be an "ABC insider". This is why unsourced, unverifiable information should not be added to Wikipedia. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:43, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
but admins klick on seen so that everybody reads that. ;o if you don't accept his change of the article, noone can see that!--NiciWhite (talk) 13:19, 31 October 2011 (UTC) and btw. I hate him for it-.- I love the serie
Spelling errors
Thanks for re-correcting my correction (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Search_(The_Office)&diff=prev&oldid=412158030). I really put my foot in my mouth there, didn't I?
Billytrousers (talk) 03:34, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
- Haha, wow, that's from like 8 months ago. Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny. :P Thanks for saying thanks. Drovethrughosts (talk) 13:56, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Breaking Bad
I've noticed you contribute alot to the article. I wouldn't know if you're interested, but i've created two userboxes and a category for the show. The UBX's are located at Media/Television (shows). RAP (talk) 15:51 16 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks, I've added it to my user page. Drovethrughosts (talk) 01:06, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Walking Dead
I've noticed that you have made a lot of contributions related to The Walking Dead. I recently made a WikiProject proposal, and I would like you to express your thoughts on the matter. :) —DAP388 (talk) 20:30, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- I haven't joined any WikiProjects, so don't take it personally, but I prefer not to. I don't want to feel like I'm obligated to edit articles which I don't feel I want to. I'll keep editing Walking Dead related articles in the same fashion I have whether or not I'm apart of the WikiProject. Thanks though. Drovethrughosts (talk) 01:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Oops
Sorry about forgetting to go back and remove the earlier mud bit in Restless. I was tired and shouldn't have been editing, but I'd kept forgetting to clarify that bit, realized it should go in the section where we talked about color-gel and other unnatural lighting, etc., and then just blanked. Thank you for dealing with it so promptly.--TEHodson 18:32, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. Always checking the latest edits to the article. I deleted the earlier addition (mine), because yours was better worded. Drovethrughosts (talk) 01:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
Getting some 24 articles to GA
Hey there. Would you be interested in working with me to get some 24 articles to GA? I have a ton of references that we can use to flesh out articles like Chloe O'Brian, Bill Buchanan and a few others. Perhaps we could start with Allison Taylor. I really want to get Jack Bauer to GA, maybe even FA one day, but I think that's a bit of a pipedream. You interested? Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 01:03, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Although I don't edit character articles to that big of an extent (I prefer season or episode articles instead), I could assist if you like. If you already have tons of references, I could definitely help with adding the content. Drovethrughosts (talk) 01:17, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- I've got access to LexisNexis, so have tons of references. As a start, there are sources listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject 24/Sources but I need to find some more. Steven Zhang The clock is ticking.... 01:19, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- FYI, with 24: Redemption, I updated the links because they came up with an error when using Checklinks. Might have come up because I'm in Australia though... Steven Zhang Join the DR army! 03:04, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, I know. Sometimes happens with me by adding ca. I just removed them because they were unnecessary and because I'm nitpicky, ha. Ah, it's just been promoted, congrats! Drovethrughosts (talk) 22:05, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
