Withdrawn

A withdrawal is closure. Also, the DRV has been withdrawn so your comment is not necessary.—Ryulong (竜龙) 07:38, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for closing just before I could make a comment, and also thank you for withdrawing just before a keep or a very unlikely delete was enforced. Says a lot, -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 07:43, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

It was closed before you made the comment, but Yeti Hunter did not know the proper method of doing so. I have given up on getting the article deleted because it is clear that the community's guidelines are not as strict as I thought they were. I may decide to nominate it again in a few months. I may not. But the fact is that it's been kept at AFD, because I realized that there was not a snowball's chance in hell of my proposal being listened to by anyone. I still do not think that Zyzz is notable for inclusion, but so long as his mayfly existence is covered by the Australian media, I won't have much of a choice in the matter.—Ryulong (竜龙) 07:46, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

"In a few months" worries me Ryulong. This was a clear keep, and if "a few months" is less than 6, I will be very unimpressed. Worm^TT · (talk) 07:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Consensus can change. It is just clear that 2 weeks is not nearly enough to make that change.—Ryulong (竜龙) 07:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Or that out of the 23 or so people who participated, 1 or 2 supported your opinion. -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 07:58, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Whatever. It was clearly going to be kept. I decided to just live with that fact and end the temptation to keep commenting. If our general policies or applications thereof change and it is clear this individual no longer qualifies under our guidelines, I will seek that it be removed, again. Until then, I hope we do not cross paths on this site.—Ryulong (竜龙) 08:01, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Glad that makes both of us. -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 08:03, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

please stop vandalising pages

Thanks. It is very annoying. There is no need to delete factual sourced statements (sourced from reading the book duh). If you are going to say that The Tripods main evil robot was similar to The War of The Worlds, then why is there a problem with saying that the plot is almost identical to The Hunger Games? The fact is that it is the same. Both have 12 villages, both have the entire plot being about people forced to fight each other for the amusement of their overlords. How is it unsourced to say that they aren't similar! They are almost identical! Or are you going to say that Avatar is NOT a rip off of John Carter???? Some people! I was trying to improve your article but(Redacted). Good job. Please stop this nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.223.96 (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

If you do not stop accusing good-faithed editors, of vandalizing articles; or if you do not stop adding unsourced content to articles, I will be happy to report you here. Thank you, -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 06:21, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

But you WERE! AND ARE! Why are you so determined to remove facts???????? Are you determined to destroy Wikipedia? Very, very bad of you. And I added some links for you. I don't see why you need to include links when every plot synopsis ever written has the two as being almost identical. And I put exactly what every plot synopsis ever written has said. My god, boy, what the hell is wrong with you? Just stop your nonsense, get back in your box, and do something constructive for a change. Your edits were not good faith. You know full well that I was writing the truth and yet you threaten, lie and distort it! Why? What kind of a power trip are you on??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.223.96 (talk) 14:42, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

For heaven's sakes. This isn't hard. I wasn't lying. I was quoting from the books, and the movies. There was nothing controversial, nothing untrue. There was no reason whatsoever for your behaviour. I was not personally attacking you. You and the others were attacking me! For what? So that you can pretend that The Hunger Games was original? It isn't. Perhaps nothing is. But the similarities between that and The Tripods are well documented and are about as similar as John Carter is to Avatar. If you are all about improving Wikipedia, you'd stop this nonsense. Just step back for a moment and see the harm you are doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.2.223.96 (talk) 14:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

If you think I'm or anyone on the encyclopedia is going to listen to your repulsive comments, I can tell you that you are sorely mistaken. Start assuming good faith and actually work with the community properly, otherwise leave this talk page, -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 15:54, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Jersey Shore spinoffs

Thanks for the kudos; it's very kind of you. The only reason I decided to start the SaJvtW article (aside from feeling that it was early enough in its development that I'd only need to write a brief stub article based on the available sources) was that the two stars were staying in Jersey City, which is the next town south of mine, and I tend to photograph subjects pertaining to Hudson County (it's one of the main areas I concentrate on, along with reality television). In truth, I've never seen Jersey Shore, and doubt that I'll be watching either spinoff.

In any event, the PaulyD article doesn't look that bad. What do you think is wrong with it? The only two things I could spot in it that needed help were that the fourth citation was missing its publication info (which I fixed), and that the biographical info in the Cast table could use citations (something which a lot of people seem to think is unimportant, but which I insist should be sourced just as everything else should be). I suppose you might also look for more secondary sources that might provide more information for the Production history section, and maybe some critics' reviews or write-ups that might form the basis of a Critical reception section (if you can find any). Is that helpful? Nightscream (talk) 15:45, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes, of course it is helpful! Thank you :D -- MST☆R ^{(Chat Me!)} 07:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 16:58, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
