| == commas ==
| |
|
| |
| We seem to be having a wrangle about commas. In particular, you seem intent on making sure that commas appear in places where they are not optional (as they may be when preceeding "and"; I cut those out anyway unless they are mandatory) but others in which you think they mark off a subordinate clause -- which, if they were, would be mandatory. However, your analysis is wrong.
| |
|
| |
| In particular, in the article on [[Julie Legrand]], you have
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''Julie Legrand''' played the Partisan in the ''Doctor Who'' story, ''The End of Time''.
| |
|
| |
| It's a fairly subtle point, but ''The End of Time'' is not a subordinate clause which further defines the preceding. This can be better appreciated by removing it.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''Julie Legrand''' played the Partisan in the ''Doctor Who'' story.
| |
|
| |
| This sentence is nonsense. It leaves you hanging for definition, because there is no item which can reasonably be called "the Doctor Who story." I think you have confused this with what would have happened had the indefinite article been used. Had the sentence read
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| '''Julie Legrand''' played the Partisan in a ''Doctor Who'' story, ''The End of Time''.
| |
|
| |
| You can remove the clause and still have a meanginful, if vague sentence. This difference renders the phrase a subordinate clause.
| |
|
| |
| Anyway, I am going to leave this particular article alone until the normal course of events (hitting it on the random button or noticing that it has recently been edited a lot and so may need a cleanup) brings it to my attention again to give you a chance to think about this. Sorry to lecture a fellow decent writer -- it embarasses me to do so -- but we seem to be working at cross purposes here.

| |
| I actually want to wait until 31 December to do the next clean, precisely ''because'' I'm expecting an influx of new, unlicensed images.

|
| |
| However, earlier today, I made some changes that might stem the tide of unlicensed images. Open an edit window and hit the add photo button on the right. You'll see much clearer instructions.

| Thank you for the explanation. My intent was to have a category for those stories where there's singing involved, but I also quickly realized it could be diluted with background songs. I didn't have a good solution for that.

| On a side note, I see you've deleted a few pages that were 100% based off of the book, but wouldn't it be better to keep them under the "Non-canon" category?

| == Be judicious with pic deletion ==
| |
| I again urge you to read [[T:IUP UNUSED]]. Our rules, which do come from [[forum:How to find orphaned images and what to do about them|community discussion]], clearly establish that a picture should not be deleted ''simply because'' it's unused. I've pointed this out to you before and yet you still appear to be basing many of your deletion decisions solely on their presence on [[Special:UnusedFiles]].
| |
|
| |
| I again remind you that a number of pictures which I upload are not ''obviously'' linked. I try my best to make it clear in revision notes, protection rationales, and upload notes that these pictures will appear to be unlinked. I know you started some kind of page where you link some of these pages, but it is not my job to remember to make a link on that page. [[T:IUP UNUSED]] makes it very clear that it is the job of the deleting admin to carefully assess the situation on ''each'' picture.
| |
|
| |
| It's unlikely that you carefully assessed the situation at [[:file:zeroroom.png]] before you deleted it. It had several notes in several places showing that it was a file in current use. Because you deleted it, I had to take the time to restore it, and to go back into the CSS and change the URL. When you restore a pic, it's always at a different URL than before the deletion occurred. So it's not as simple as just restoring a file. I have to do ''additional'' work when I restore a file used by CSS.
| |
|
| |
| [[Special:UnusedFiles]] is a useful tool, but it is ''not'' a list of files that ''need'' to be deleted. It's a list of files which do not meet the criteria of being "used". That doesn't mean they won't be in the future, or that they aren't being used in a non-traditional way. Remember, too, that [[Special:UnusedFiles]] uses ''cached'' results. Consequently, files can appear on the list which actually are ''currently'' linked. The linkage simply may have occurred after the report was generated. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">02:16: Tue 24 Jan 2012 </span>
