List of Doctors characters

Hi there. I have seen your change to the cast lists for Doctors. Just wondered if this is used elsewhere, as it appears very confusing? Thanks. Adamiow (talk) 11:13, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree with Adamiow that the table was confusing. I've changed it back for now, so perhaps a discussion on the talk page can take place about changing/improving it. Also, it's nice to see you back Mario. :) - JuneGloom Talk 22:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter

We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is

This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user,

Well the ironic thing was I didn't ping you because you fixed something on that article lolz. I wanted to see if you were still editing and come to find out you recently edited Always Mine which was a shock to me. I had thought I was looking at my edits which then got me pissed but then found out you are still here so yay!!! lolz Thanks for your edits anyways..I am now at 13 GAs with 6 GANs so that brings me with 19. How about you? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 19:36, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Wow! I missed a lot! I should probably review a few of yours, to get back in the flow of everything. ATM, im coming a going. Oh, although I havent been back for a while, I have just revamped Body of Proof articles, with today recently creating one, (Talking Heads (Body of Proof)) and its on DYK. Im guessing the GAN process has been fine now, since after (was it a year ago), the little mishap at the GAN page. I look at the articles now. — M.Mario (T/C) 19:42, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Well I haven't been active too much either just too much stress in RL and I haven't been feeling like expanding articles like I used to anymore. IDK maybe because of the current drive has gotten me the boost I needed but I'm just taking it slow for now. BTW whats up with the change username? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 21:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
Actually, that is the same way I have felt. I changed my name as "Mayhem" suggested I was trouble, as pointed out by my good friends at FAC, so I changed it. If you ever need any help, you know where my talk page is! — M.Mario (T/C) 15:22, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, if the characters are not credited to appear in any more episodes then yes I believe. However I did not watch EE tonight, did it show them leaving, if so yes. — M.Mario (T/C) 22:11, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Soap Articles

Hey Mario. Just touching base but why do you think it's acceptable to unlink fictional character without any source of discussion. These wiki-links have been instated since 2007ish and now you decide to unlink them all. You have done things before without discussion, like the removal of storylines from the lead. You've done the unlink to both EastEnders and Hollyoaks articles and you should not take it upon yourself to unlink these essential words to a soap opera character article.

Ping!
09:27, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

'Fictional character' and 'soap opera' are common terms which do not need to be linked. This was told to me by a experienced
WP:GAN too. — M.Mario (T/C
) 15:07, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
That's one person's opinion Mario. If you are making project wide changes, you should try to discuss them first or else you will annoy people, as seems to have happened here. For what it's worth, my opinion is that yes fictional character is a common term, but soap opera less so, because different nationalities have different names for continuing dramas.GunGagdinMoan 15:56, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
So Mario, you thought you would just bypass what the little people might say. Without an actual discussion on the topic it was always going to be brought up.Rain the 1 17:01, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Thank you Gungadin, I will put this towards WP:EE or WP:SOAPS? I think I agree with you about the soap opera term actually, so I think I will support what you said when the discussion is made in the future. — M.Mario (T/C) 18:37, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Oh and Rain, I missed your point. Did I ever use the term "little people"? Most likely actaully you probably have more edits and created more successful articles than them, so actaully, they are probably the "little people". :) — M.Mario (T/C) 18:39, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Images

Hi, one of the images you nominated has just been deleted, which is a shame. However, if I added Reception specifically talking about that scene, could I? This image for example, does the same thing File:Wishin' and Hopin' - Grey's Anatomy.jpg. — M.Mario (T/C) 16:39, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

That image you've picked there is a poor example. It is a nondescript screenshot that is clearly decorative and adds little to reader's understanding. If you have an image that is not talked about by reliable sources directly (that is the thing as depicted is talked about, not the scene around it or things vaguely associated with the thing depicted) then you are often treading on shaky ground. These shots of some cast members, sitting, talking, walking, standing or doing other normal things don't usually tell the reader anything significant. If someone acted well sources will say this, but this does not mean that you need a still photo of them to back it up. If a source talks at length about a character's makeup/costume or some set design or other visual thing, you may find in the course of writing the article that you cannot make part of the subject matter adequately comprehensible without illustration. I think that if you don't reach this point—where the image is required as text alone is inadequate to convey what the reliable sources are saying—then a non-free image should be considered. - Peripitus (Talk) 12:52, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much for that, it was much clearer that what other users have said! You know the user who uploaded that image I used as an example, I would look at the rest of his uploads, they all have the same rationale, and seem a bit dogdy. — M.Mario (T/C) 21:21, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Hi again! Im currently reviewing a few articles at GA, and I was wondering whether the images on them are intact or not.

- I hate to report photos- its just I dont want to pass an article- but then recieve backlash. Thank you very much. — M.Mario (T/C) 19:14, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

While it's part of the good article criteria that non-free images have appropriate copyright statements and non-free rationales, I think there is merit in not muddying the water by tying non-free image rationale evaluations with good article evaluation. The images have copyright notices and rationales for use. That the rationales may be poor is something I think to debate elsewhere - Peripitus (Talk) 10:23, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, M.Mario. I've undone your change to the infobox picture caption, because it is more descriptive as it was. It is also a standard on all Grey's Anatomy character pages. Anyways, thanks for the review! TRLIJC19 (talk) 23:22, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Rebecca Harper.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Rebecca Harper.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to
    di-replaceable fair use disputed
    }}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mabdul 00:26, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Because you uploaded another image! I had no choice but to, as I had earlier stated that the rationale needs to be strong to get to GA status, and is was not, again. I think also having fresh eyes on the article will be better. Just dont upload any more images for the article!

If one of my images I have uploaded has a strong rationale and helps the reader understand the article better, but has been nominated for deletion, what can I do? File:Society Hill (Body of Proof).jpg was nominated, however the nominator has been rather rude towards me, and has not allowed me to get my point across, Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2012 July 8#File:Society Hill (Body of Proof).jpg. I tried to explain to him, and although I may have made mistakes, I feel the image fits the criteria. If your free, can you put your point across? — M.Mario (T/C) 15:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

M.Mario, you seem to have a few misteps here. You tried to dispute the deletion discussion by removing the deletion link and discussion then, when this was rightly reverted, you edited some else's post. These are by no-nos in deletion discussions. You can't dispute a nomination by summarily closing it and it is very very bad form to edit another's post (re: your striking out of the link to NFCC#8). You disagree with the nomination - all you can, and should, do is make your point about how you think the image does meet the criteria—which you've done—then leave it for someone to assess argument strength and close the debate. - Peripitus (Talk) 22:50, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi: The wrong hook was used when this article was promoted to the Did You Know prep area, so I switched it to the ALT1 that the reviewer had passed - but it's been mentioned at Wikipedia talk:Did you know as being boring. Can you think of another possible hook? The only one I could come up with is the fact the murder was filmed in Fairmount Park, but you don't give a source for that and I couldn't find it in the references I examined. Got a source for that, or any other ideas? Yngvadottir (talk) 20:53, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, correcting perspective in human photographs is incredibly difficult. Small distortions that you wouldn't notice in a landscape or a building are really noticeable in humans - especially with a subject like Ms. Delaney whose conventional beauty is partly a product of a very symmetrical face.

That said, I'll be glad to crop the image or do something similar. I would likely upload such as a new image, as the current image is used in dozens on articles in multiple languages. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:49, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
