Hi! Thank you for reverting the unexplained deletion/edit on Denouement. I appreciate your help. --Starionwolf 04:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Nathan B. Forrest High School
hi, i included the information about Eartha White. people need to know more about her and you dont beleive that she was at the side of James Weldon Johnson then look it up for your self.
- Do you have a source? Maria 21:20, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
i cant really remember where i read it, but when the issue was brought up in school. we watched video. it stated that Eartha aided James Weldon Johnson, which is a school in jackconville aswell. so it should be apart of the article
- I disagree. As I stated on your talk page, it is unnecessary since it does not pertain to the school itself. Not to mention that I cannot find proof of your statements. If you are uncertain as to what makes for a source, please read up on it. By the way, telling me to "look it up" for myself when you are unable to do the same is both rude and idiotic. Do some research before you go about adding claims to an article. Especially one as current as Forrest High. Maria 21:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
i never said she had anything to do with a civil rights movement. that was Mike. all im saying is that people need to know about Eartha and what she did in Jacksonville. people know who James Weldon Johnson is, so mentioning him wouldnt hurt someone who is wanting to know about her.
Eartha White
an article has been uploaded for Eartha M. M. White
Why did you change it? if Eartha White meant something to you then you would have started the Article. however, you did not so let it be. why would you take out parts about her life? eartha white doesnt deserve the article you edited. theres SO MUCH MORE then that.
well Maria, i appreciate you doing so. however i do not appreciate the fact that you failed to mention historical facts that people now-days need to read about. especially blacks. this article may not mean alot to you becuase you are not black and you are not from jacksonville if you cared about the article you would have started the Eartha M. M. White article. however you did not and cutting out important details is a shame. Ms. White wouldnt be pleased. So just leave it alone as of now. and i posted the links of were the story was from. Earthas story is very touching to me and blacks that live in Jacksonville. I dont beleive you have the right to touch something you did not put together.
- To assume my race is irrelevant and, blatantly, racist. It comes down to the fact that you are failing to grasp the guidelines of Wikipedia. This article is not your own. I am free, along with any other individual, to edit other people's articles even though we did not create them -- in fact, it is our responsibility to correct poorly written and/or stolen material. To say that this article is your property is incorrect. To claim Eartha's own history as your property is incorrect and simply ridiculous. Your race and your city of origin have no bearing on your right to monopolize this article. In addition, you are plagarizing. Oh, and in case you failed to notice, the website you stole from happens to have been published by my employer, UNF, which holds a large selection of Eartha White's personal pictures and correspondence. Therefore, I believe I am far more qualified to provide factual information on this subject while also following Wikipedia's guidelines. Maria 05:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Maria
Thank you kindly for your help with YoungCorey and the IP hell-bent on really messing up the NB Forrest and Eartha White articles. You are a gem! Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 08:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- You might be able to research a little more about this important Jacksonville figure: Dorcas Drake. I remember his toy drives every year when I was little. There are so few sources online...I don't even know if the toy drive still exists anymore. Could you help? Thanks! Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 04:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, Mike! This is an interesting challenge, though I don't know if I can get further in my research than you've already gotten. I've checked records in UNF, JU, and JPL and I can't find any archived material about Drake. Google isn't very much help, either. I'll try to nose around elsewhere to see if I can dig up anything. I've heard of the troy drive, but I don't believe it's still operating, which is a shame. I'll see what I can do! Maria 14:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Just ran across this. Might be interesting to do an article on the Jacksonville Youth Symphony Orchestra. I did a side by side concert with them (I was with Palm Beach Youth Symphony Orchestra, now the Youth Orchestra of Palm Beach County), and I seem to recall there being a long and storied history. I don't remember exactly where, but it was at a huge convention center. My memory is a bit hazy because I was on painkillers at the time coming out of a car accident. Anyway that's all irrelevant, but it might be an article worth working on. ⇒ SWATJester On Belay! 13:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- It seems someone has already beat us to it: Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestra. It's only a stub, and hasn't been updated in six months or so, but it's a good beginning. Maria 15:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

A request for assistance
Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 05:52 3 January 2007 (UTC).

Children of Men
Re Children of Men, both constructive comments in Talk and edits designed to inform the public about a controversy over the film were repeatedly removed. But I don't have a right to remove my own unwanted comments? I don't get it.
- I'm guessing you're Agent Cooper? I reverted your edit because on first glance it appeared to be vandalism; removing large chunks of talk pages are often done by people out of spite. It wasn't until I looked again, as I stated below, that I noticed you removed only your own comments. This falls into some sort of a gray area, I think, but I do believe that discussions should be kept intact, if only for posterity's sake. It only makes matters worse to try to erase it. My advice would be to just step away and forget about it, though I admit I wasn't following the discussion. María: (habla ~ cosas) 23:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me, but are you the same User who posts as Agent Cooper? If not, you are not entitled to remove his posts from the Children of Men discussion area. If you are, why all the subterfuge?Arcayne 22:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, what? No, I'm not Agent Cooper, and no, I didn't remove his posts. In fact, I restored what he removed because I thought he was being disruptive and vandalizing the page by removing large chunks of material. It wasn't until after I reverted did I notice that he removed only his comments, not other users'. I'm not positive if it can be considered vandalism if the user only removes their material, but I do believe in keeping things the way they are for posterity. I believe I did the correct thing in restoring it. If not, someone please cite the rule and that's that.
- I wasn't following the discussion, so I'm not exactly sure why you would incorrectly assume I'm this other user? Be assured, however, that I am not. María: (habla ~ cosas) 23:01, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
My sincerest apologies. I think that while I was checking the CoM on my watchlist, I must have muddled the erasure by Coop and attributed it to yourself. I give you complete permission to remove my entire comments from your talk page if you wish. I made a mistake, and I ask your forgiveness. And yes, it is considered vandalism if you remove your own commentary from the discussion area, as it leaves a hole where other users responded to the deleted commentary, and disrupts the discussion process. I think nly editors get to do that, bc there are possible repercussions if there's a screw-up, as well as accountability. Thanks for restoring the material. Coop seems to do that a lot, removing all traces of his comments and comments that others make on his comment page.Arcayne 23:24, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- You're forgiven, and thank you for reaffirming the fact that it was vandalism, although next time I'll leave it to the admins. María: (habla ~ cosas) 23:30, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Psalm 91
Psalm 91 is the masoretic text numbering for the title reference, and the source text is found in that location. The Greek numbering is Psalm 90, and I've created a redirect to solve your problem. Prior to this redirect, Psalm 90 was a red link. —Viriditas | Talk 04:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- I thought my reply above was clear and to the point. If you go to the KJV you will see that it reads: "The Old Testament of the King James Version is translated from the Masoretic Hebrew Text," which explains why the Wikipedia articles on Psalms are located at Masoretic, not Greek numbering. You may want to take any further questions to Talk:Psalms, where this issue has been raised in the past. —Viriditas | Talk 19:19, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I appologize. I have plenty of proof to add her new book title, but if you want to keep it a secret I understand. Enjoy tomorrow's show.

I saw that you were fixing redirects from multiple articles but wanted to tell you WP:Films naming conventions wants the film articles to end in (film). In the case of [[Empire of the Sun (movie)]] it should be moved to [[Empire of the Sun (film)]]. I already went through and fixed them all, but just wanted to let you know if you stumble upon one in the future to make sure the page goes to (film).

Children of Men
Hi, again. I added Talk:Children of Men/Temp for use as a sandbox where we can develop a cast section. If you can give me some more input, or help develop it, that would be great. The article also needs your expert knowledge regarding the following sections: a good lead, expanded production, more coherent themes, and an expanded critical reception. If you can help out or know of any other editors who have an interest, please join in. Thanks. —Viriditas | Talk 05:06, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing my talk page. Three other things: I would like to work the animal themes into the theme section, and mention that the dolls motif didn't make it from the book to the film. Also, more can be said about how the film is a companion piece to Y Tu Mamá También. Soures are needed. —Viriditas | Talk 19:38, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- FYI...User:Beanssnaeb has composed a cast section on the temp page and will add it to the article. I'll try and help expand it. —Viriditas | Talk 21:49, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
- Might I suggest that you instead edit the statement rather than simply reverting it? While B had an issue with one component of the statement (an unsourced issue), there was no need to purge the entire comment. Please discuss rahter than offer edict in the form of edit summary.Arcayne 15:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

María, please don't leave. If you do, we will lose the only expert editor in the article, and as far as I can tell, your opinion is of utmost importance. Take a small break, and let's talk about this tomorrow. I'm convinced your participation is crucial to the success of this article. Please think about it. If you have any immediate concerns that I can address, let me know. Arcayne should not be attacking you or anyone else on the talk page, so I'm going to remove his comments. —Viriditas | Talk 20:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Maria, I am sorry if you feel my comments in some way attacked you. I have a considerable amount of respect for you, and do feel that you and B. have a positive infuence in the article. I feel that offering alternative edit changes is a good thing (and I think I have indicated that i am willing to listen to reason, and accept dissent when it is presented in a reasonable fashion. I do not value Viriditas' opinion, and that isn't likely to change so long as his uncivil behavior continues, especially when I am on the receiving end of it. However, I have nothing but respect for you and B. and am willing to iron out any and all issues with the article. I would like you to stay.Arcayne 21:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I am very new to wikipedia and unfamiliar with the editing language and style-writing of articles (this is my first time using the talk feature, for instance).

OED?
What? It is an observable part of the movie, and therefore no more needing of citation than observing Theo being kidnapped by the fishes, or combatants being silent upon seeing Kee's baby. Neither are present in any form in any review, and yet they are allowed in the synopsis. It isn't a subjective matter. It happened.
- Actually, your reference to the OED definition of 'plot' is not applicable here. Were we talking about simply plot, we would refer here. However, we are talking about synopsis, in that the synopsis talks about thos points observable in the story. We are not talking about unrelated bits like zebras or ooga-booga - you know we aren't. The sounds of children is an observable part of the film, and related to the goal of the film. The shantih is, too, but as that happens after the credits, I am relenting on the point since more than one editor didn't feel it belonged (even though it was referred to by a reviewer).
- I am not saying that the laughter or the shantih is part of the plot, but plot is not the only thing covered by the synopsis. I am sticking to the wikipedia-defined definition of synopsis (and the OED version as well) by including "a view of the whole." Two editors agree that the statements should remain. They should remain, as keeping them out of the article detracts from the conciseness of the article.Arcayne 00:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I reverted in the article three times. One more and I violate 3RR.Arcayne 00:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC) As well, I went back and further looked over the statement. I removed the part added by the other editor about the titling of Children of Men apearing, as that is part of the credits, and not germane to the synopsis. I retained the non-credits laughter part of the statement.Arcayne 00:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Maria, I only counted 3 reverts in the CoM article 1 2 3.Arcayne 01:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
300 Edits
I have been noticing that you have been trimming down the plot considerably. I was wondering how we preserve some of the cleverness of the plot without bloat. One of the instances I am referring to that you recently addressed were the Thespians concern that only 300 Spartans came to help, and Leonidas' allaying of those concerns. There are others, but I was hoping you could help me to figure out how to best address these concerns.Arcayne 14:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- I didn't think my concerns were based out of sentimentality, and was well aware of the guidelines (do you think that after my experiences with Viriditas that I can't quote entire tracts of Wikipedia policy in my sleep?). I guess I will have to consider how to trim in such a way that more of the essence of the plot is included.Arcayne 14:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Didn't know I stepped on your toes. I sent a message to someone whose edits I reverted. It seems you hit save page before I did, and your revert took precedence, while my warning was sent before yours. Please, stop assuming I am here to interfere with your edits. Our experiences with Viriditas may have colored your opinion of me, and while that is unfortunate, it is almost certainly an inaccurate opinion.Arcayne 15:01, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- Maria, the coins were planted on Theron's person by Gorgo - it was shown in the film.Arcayne 22:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Maybe you can help me to understand how to revert to a prior version, then. I don't want to "botch" things up again. As it was, i went through and replaced all the edits that weren't vandalism (there was quite a lot of vandalism there).Arcayne 16:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I had followed your earlier advice and checked not only the specific content of Mani's edits, but looked back over his contribution history and saw his unnamed post (interesting attempt to conceal his intent, btw) to you. I made sure I was on good footing with the vandalism warning, so that I wouldn't have to worry about you yelling at me. I've made enough mistakes where you are concerned, and I happen to think you're aces, despite your fondness for that Other Fellow. :P Arcayne 17:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Maria, do you know how to set up a Temp Page? I cannot seem to find a wiki article for it.Arcayne 19:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, it's for 300. See the Discussion POage for the full intent. If people don't call for my head on a pointy stick, I would like to trouble you to create a temp page called "Temp: 300 (film) Controversies" or some such.Arcayne 20:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Your edits to Empire Falls
Hi--I was curious about why you moved Empire Falls (novel) to Empire Falls. I thought adding the (novel) tag to novels was the correct way to disambiguate. I'm going by WP:NC-BK. And I've seen other editors who have done just the opposite—moving Title to Title (novel)—also citing "naming guidelines", so I'm a bit confused about what's what. Is there some other guideline I should be aware of? Thanks for your help. Regards, --ShelfSkewed [Talk] 03:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that was a long explanation, but I now I understand why you did what you did. Eventually we'll also need an Empire Falls disambiguation page. Empire Falls is the name of a punk band, a song by Chris Thile, and a graphic history book (The Empire Falls—Battle of Midway) by Steve White. No articles for any of those yet, but the way Wikipedia is growing, they'll come along sooner or later. ShelfSkewed [Talk] 13:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- According to WP:DAB, using the plain topic or subject name as the name of the disambiguation page is preferred to "Subject (disambiguation)", but it seems like the latter formulation is used as often as not. So you could change the novel back to Empire Falls (novel), or leave it as is. It'll work either way. ShelfSkewed [Talk] 13:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

- I took the liberty of moving the novel back to the root title (Empire Falls) as, once I removed a redlink from the disambiguation page, there were only two entries left. There is no great need for a disambig page at present, although as ShelfSkewed indicates, there may be at some time in the future. I will be glad to help tackle that when/if it happens! :) Just going through to make sure everything points to the right place at the moment. Bubba hotep 14:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Dear Yllosubmarine
Please see my message in the talk page.
I am not personally much offended by the film. If I were the director I would add a paragraph to the beginning of the film and would show my respect to Persians who are living now in the world. Honestly I would be extremely angry if an Iranian filmmaker make a film like that about other nations. Unfortunately some artists bypass ethics. Cinema is no exception. Thanks and Take care.

New lead
Jim's got a new lead for Children of Men on the temp page. Can you take a look and comment when you have time? Thank you. —Viriditas | Talk 12:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- I understand. I'll miss your criticism and commentary, but I'll make do. Take care. —Viriditas | Talk 03:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I just noticed that you chose to divide this article into two separate entries, one for the book and one for the film. This makes no sense, since now neither one has very much information. All you did was create two stubs. Unless there is sufficient info for each entity to warrant dividing an article in this way, please think twice before doing it. Thank you. SFTVLGUY2 15:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your response. May I suggest that in the future you wait until you have time to complete the article fully rather than leave it with very little info? Clearly you are one of those who value infoboxes, which I think are designed for people too lazy to read a complete article. However, an infobox should be used as an addendum to an article, not a replacement for one. And I do believe there are situations where one article for both the book and film adaptation is sufficient, and helpful towards keeping Wikipedia from being overrun with stubs. Regards . . . SFTVLGUY2 16:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- If I wanted my comments on the discussion page for The Accidental Tourist to refer specifically to you, I would have mentioned you by name. I intended them to be a general commentary about the all-too-common habit of creating an article with little or no content other than an infobox practiced by many editors. I never intended you to take my remarks as personally as you did. I'm sorry if you were offended, but I continue to stand by them. SFTVLGUY2 16:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- I removed the comments that offended you from The Accidental Tourist discussion page. Again, I apologize if they seemed like a personal attack. Best wishes . . . SFTVLGUY2 13:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I never intended you to take my remarks as personally as you did. I'm sorry if you were offended, but I continue to stand by them. SFTVLGUY2 16:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
300 Box Office
Thank you so much for reinstating my edits. DP07 09:42, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey Maria, I've been following your example of trimming the article's arious sections. Care to take a gander and tell me how I did?Arcayne 17:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I can claim some responsibility, tho' not all. I thinkI've trimmed quite a bit, but I'm more sentimental about the plot than you; I'm glad you did it and not me. :P
- I am a little weirded out by the fact that there are toys for a movie that kids can't (and probably shouldn't) see. Sometimes, I think the marleting machne is the true Great Satan of the West.
- I did see Nehrams post, but I've never nominated an article before (lots of wiki stuff I've never done). I am not sure we are there yet. Some reviews were never touched, and I think some have interestingthings to say about the production and themes (kind an important part), and less about the bruised egos of the Iranians. That whole thing is utter nonsense, as far as that goes. I mean, MadTV makes a skit about the Terminator going back in time to stop Christ's crucifiction, and historians ponder the possible sexual ambiguity of Lincoln. A different set of taboos, I guess. Arcayne 18:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- Lastly, there are some awesome images for the movie out there, but we've been spending so much time on reverting pics of statues that no real energy has been spent on finding some cool ones. I remember seeing one in passing of a Matrix-style slo-mo pan of Leonidas wading though the Persians. A picture of Gorgo and Theron seems important to have, as well as an image of the vastness of the Persian army. Lastly, there should be a side-by-side of the gn, and it's faithful recreation on screen, to exemplify the detail of production at work. That's my opinion, anyway. Arcayne 18:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
- To girls, they're dolls. To boys and geeks, they are action figures. And those picture comparisons are stunning! That is precisely waht I was talking about. The article says they were grabbed from Film Rotation.com. However, the screen caps and the comic images...I don't know. Bignole knows a lot more about this fair use stuff. I'll send him the link and see what he thinks. Arcayne 19:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
300 Images
Your wish is my command...( poof! ) Couldn't find anything with Gorgo and Theron, whichI still think needs to be there. Arcayne 21:05, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Calm before the storm
It's going to be ugly this weekend. I predict flurries of bad edits and POV pushing throughout the weekend. Btw, what is the rationale for not including the anti-300 site? I dig that we are reverting chumps who try to slip it in under the guise of the official site, but as there is sizable section on Persian Depictions and uproar, it would seem to me that it would be noteworthy to include it. I'm not married to the idea - I'm just curious. Arcayne 22:14, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Do you think we should ask for a couple of independent editors to take a gander at the article and let us know what still needs work before we can apply for GA status? Arcayne 15:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- That would be great! What's involved in that, so I will know how to do that myself when at some point in the future I finish up with the Braveheart article? Arcayne 16:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
And so it begins
Apparently, what's good for the goose is poison to the gander. The cited reference in dispute is here. The other item being changed is the number of parliamentarians in Iran calling for the banning of the film. The cited article says four. There are over 250 parliamentarians. I said few. The alteration says several. Yay. what fun. Arcayne 22:14, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, Maria - sometimes, admins get so busy, they don't really pay attention to what they're doing. At least the guy was stand-up enough to admit he was wrong...sorta. (shaking head). An editor told me, back when I first started on Wikipedia, that a lot of the elements of success happen to revolve around the quantity of stamina. I have kinda noticed that proven true again and again. I hope that when make it to admin, I take a lot more care with what I am doing, and not just looking at it as an iron man contest.
- Anyway, on to the images. I looked at the website, and I think that image number 4 is pretty good. It shows the Spartan,and also indicates a "monster" (in a connective nod to the Depiction of Persians section). I haven't the foggiest about what the fair use licensing would be, but I can look into it. Is there some sort of formulae regarding pictures in an article? - Arcayne 02:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I meant, how many pictures are usually in an article? Arcayne 02:34, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
The picture has been added. I think it should be on the left, but I will leave that up to you. :) -Arcayne 03:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Women writers
I just (finally) submitted the category for review for reinstatement. Fingers crossed. scribblingwoman 14:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
User Page
Thanks, but I cannot claim credit for it. I mostly did it because I was about to have my earlier page cleared out at my request (I had had personal info on there that, in retrospect, I was unwise to add), so I copied another user page that looked cool. Please, if you know how to fix it, please go ahead. I am still learning about html. The think I am trying to discover now is where to find the different colors and their corresponding numbers (the page I copied only refers to the color number). Arcayne 13:31, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot! I am b4eing lazy too - I have always farmed out html work to my sister (a graphic designer and advertising copywriter); I should just curl up with coffee and three or four different books and learn the stuff. Arcayne 13:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- That looks awesome, Maria. Thanks ever so much for the help! It looks wonderful! Arcayne 14:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello...
I have noted that you are a particularily active user and you may have what it takes to be an admin (or at least based on my vague info on what it is like being an admin) - Therefore, if you are ever nominated for adminship, drop me a line and I will vote! As yet, I will not nominate anyone because I am still in (sadly) a foul mood because of a recent edit war that was (indirectly) started by me (but was actually undertaken by two other users, whom I will not name)
Have a nice day/morning/afternoon/evening/night

Your Edit to WonderBoys
I thought you made an accidental bad edit. If I thought it was vandalism, I would have reported you. --Savant13 11:30, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Peer Review
I am not sure hwo that sort of thing progresses. If we address all the issues brought up in Peer Review, do we (or should we) ask for a secondary review? I understand about waiting, but just manning the gates doesn't seem to address any internal issues that remain. Thoughts? Arcayne 01:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I think that posting the criteria is an excellent idea, Maria. :) Arcayne 17:53, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Pruning
You can always renominate it. I am only pruning because we are picking a new one today. Cbrown1023 talk 16:09, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- You can just do that. Put the date as 14 days from today (when the next one is selected). Cbrown1023 talk 16:14, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
