The Way

You added a mention of "The Way" as an earlier form of Christianity to The Way; can you see if there's any article on Wikipedia that describes this form of Christianity? People who go to the disambiguation pages want to know where they can find more information on the various entries. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:32, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

KITT's ECG Display

I have first season on DVD, I'll have to go back and watch the episode, but be aware that some of the footage rolled during the opening credits of the pilot episode were from other episodes of the season that were yet to be aired. I'm not going to argue about it because it's just a TV show, but for the record, I believe KITT actually used the device for the first time in "Chariots of Fire". It may have appeared on the display but the scan wasn't referred to as the ECG until later. I had thought you were mistaking the readout called "EGT" which is located among the turbine engine readouts on the right side of the dash. Cyberia23 20:28, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Anya Major

What's your source for the info that shes still alive? Thanks... — Wackymacs 17:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

• You should ask user Davidscarter, who added that info to the article. I personally can't seem to confirm or deny her current existence. DiogenesNY 04:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

The thing about the whole "Are we sitting comfortably?" business...

...is that it's not about listing where viewers from any given country might perhaps recognise it from. It's about explaining what the programme is referencing, which is almost certainly not that film. Angmering 09:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

DYK

On October 25, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Janesville Mall, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Double Jeopardy

You raise an interesting point re: double jeopardy under AFD for Wikipedia. Perhaps it's a topic worth exploring? Perhaps a location like Wikipedia:Double jeopardy could house a proposal, or at least an essay on the topic. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if a legal background is particularly necessary, but the trick is figuring out how to incorporate it all into Wikipedia's system and make it "work". Your kicker is that nothing is binding on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Consensus can change), though. SchuminWeb (Talk) 04:19, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Janesville Mall

It's not so much unfocused really, it's just way too wordy. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps•Review?)} 15:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Yorktown Center

Okay, that was an error on my part; really the only PoV part you put in was "fashionable pastels", which I trimmed to just "pastels". Also, "its'" (with an apostrophe after the S) is not a word; I changed each instance to "its". Other than that, I'm certain that the info you added is indeed correct. If you have access to any additional refs, please feel free to add them. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 18:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

BTTF plot

First, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Back_to_the_Future#Replacing_plot_section_entirely. Masem agreed too. Second, I didn't remove everything you did (which is what YOU did to my modifications), but only a portion of it.

So don't say "You changed it because you didn't write it". It's completely irrelevant. If it would've been the case, I would have simply done a "Undo". -- Lyverbe (talk) 17:13, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
