Alpha and omega 2

Their will be a alpha and omega 2 and many websites including wiki help said their will be one. Even entertainment weekly said their will be one. Look at talk in the article of alpha and omega. It said there will be a possible sequel. And simple English Wikipedia said. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodj123 (talk • contribs) 22:26, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

One of Wikipedia's core policies is Verifiability. This means that whenever something contentious or possibly contentious is added to Wikipedia, a reliable source must be provided. Some examples of reliable sources include books, newspapers, magazines and websites written by people of some authority (eg. professional journalists). This policy ensures that the information on Wikipedia is accurate. Wikipedia does not deal in rumors. The Wikipedia Talk page and the Simple English Wikipedia do not count as reliable sources that can be used to source information on Wikipedia (you cannot use Wikipedia as a source on Wikipedia). The Entertainment Weekly article would be considered a reliable source, except that it is no longer available. My guess is that it proved to be untrue and was taken down, if it even existed. If it was true, the news would have been rereported by other publications. I have not been able to find a single reliable source that says an Alpha and Omega sequel is in development or production. If it was in development or production, the studio would have announced it and there would definitely be multiple sources reporting about it. Face it, an Alpha and Omega sequel is not in production. It is only until a reliable source that says otherwise is found that the information can be added to the article. - Kollision (talk) 06:02, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Academy awards nominations

This time of year, that page is one of the top searched items on google. Having that page as a title (academy awards nominations) raises the wikipedia rank on the google search, it also provides the information that most readers are looking for. They want to see what the nominations are, and if they so chose they can click on the main article for more information. There is currently no page that offers readers a simple and accurate list of nominations without adds or lots of other information the user is not interested in reading. By having a page like this, readers have the info they want, links to articles on the movies, directors, this years academy awards and the history of the awards all in once place. I have watched the search rank of this page go higher and higher per day and I checked the stats and the amount of people accessing this page began at a rank of 500 hits a day and grew, which for me at least, shows that many readers, as I've said, would like to have a simple and accurate page with nominations and links to other articles if they so chose to click on them. I hope I've made sense here. --Shabidoo | Talk 00:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

There was also some (admittedly small) amount of extra information in the introduction and in the infobox. --Shabidoo | Talk 00:33, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

85th Academy Awards Nominations 2013 now redirects to 85th Academy Awards, which contains all the nominations. Having two articles with the same information was pointless and we usually don't branch off into smaller articles unless the main article gets too long, which is not the case here. The article title has no bearing on this, people will not have any problems finding this list. All that Google stuff has no bearing on this either; we do not change the way we do things just because it may result in a higher rank on Google. If someone clicks the link to '85th Academy Awards Nominations 2013' on Google they will be redirected to '85th Academy Awards'. In time, the link to '85th Academy Awards Nominations 2013' will probably be removed from Google and the rank for '85th Academy Awards' will also go up. - Kollision (talk) 04:55, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes...when you put it that way, that does make sense. --Shabidoo | Talk 07:02, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject Film

Regarding the discussion about coordinators at WT:FILM, I set up a long time ago the agenda you linked to. These were my own ideas, and they may have been proposed in too much of a top-down fashion. Discussions at WT:FILMC were never very fulfilling, so I've grown cynical about the notion of collaboration, both formal and informal. Thankfully we have a healthy general talk page that can resolve disputes and build consensus on a case-by-case basis. It may be that WikiProject Film has too much structure (especially with the unused task forces) and we need to get back to basics, such as empowering editors with their own tools. (My recent "Recommended pages" posting is one attempt at that.) In the past, I talked to Peppage (talk · contribs) about having a bot that could address the more tedious editing tasks, but that never got finalized. If you have suggestions about what to do with WikiProject Film and whether or not it involves coordinators, I'm happy to hear you out. Erik (talk | contribs) 17:17, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: alpha and omega 2

If you type in alpha and omega in google look at the right and it says in there"sequel: Alpha And Omega 2" but it's unchangeable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodj123 (talk • contribs) 17:27, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

That is still not a reliable source. The Knowledge Graph pulls information from a variety of sources including Wikipedia itself. It is actually quite likely that Google's "Alpha and Omega 2" information was retrieved from when the information was still in the Alpha and Omega Wikipedia article and it has taken some time for the update to flow through. - Kollision (talk) 03:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't think it got the sequel info from Wikipedia and also look at alpha and omega's Facebook page and it says would you like to see an alpha and omega 2 and over 1500 people said yes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodj123 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

That doesn't mean anything; "Would you like to see an Alpha and Omega 2?" is not the same as "Alpha and Omega 2 is in development." Like I said before, until a reliable source confirms Alpha and Omega 2 is in development, it isn't happening. - Kollision (talk) 05:33, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Surprise. I saw a shooting star and said to have alpha and omega 2 be a movie And now there is a alpha and omega series and the first of the series is alpha and omega 2: A howl-iday adventure. Shooting stars do make wishes real.Rodj123 (talk) 14:40, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Kollision; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:06, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

3 movie contract for lionsgate and crest animation.

They had a 3 movie contract and they only did 1 then the upcoming on would be norm of the north but what's the 3rd? Would it be alpha and omega 2? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rodj123 (talk • contribs) 15:26, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

The third film has not yet been announced. Whether it will be or won't be Alpha and Omega 2 is a matter of speculation. Wikipedia deals with verifiable facts, not rumors or speculation. - Kollision (talk) 16:01, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Percy Jackson Task-force

Hi, I'm looking to help re-activate the Percy Jackson Task-force. As you are one of the few "inactive" or "unknown" members still actively editing Wikipedia, I wanted to extend an invitation for you to work with me to do this. If you are no longer interested, I'd appreciate your taking the time to move your username to the "inactive" list here or removing it altogether. And thanks for all you did before!

If you are interested, firstly I'd like to invite you to become a full member, as the requirements for membership are going to be lowered in the near future (I know they scared me away on the first try) -- or just a "supporter", if that's more your speed. I would also ask you to consider a proposal I have, which is that this task-force become the "Rick Riordan" task-force. I've suggested this because I think it would help keep the project active and also help stop some pretty widespread vandalism in articles referring to that author. My proposal in brief. I'm a relatively new Wikipedian, so I'd appreciate the advice and expertise of a more experienced user. Thanks again in advance, and feel free to contact me on my Talk page. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 02:33, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

WP:PJTF checkback

Hi, Kollision, just checking up on your July invitation to rejoin the Percy Jackson Task-force. Please do not feel pressured in any way to decide, but be aware that your username has been moved to the "Inactive" section of our members list, should you ever go looking for it. Thanks again for your past work, and happy editing! -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 02:02, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jarrad Seng, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 2015 Nepal earthquake.

Windan Bridge

Hi Samuel Wiki. I see that you recently created a redirect to Goongoongup Bridge. These structures were built about 5 years apart and although adjacent, are quite separate things. I'd prefer that this remain as a redlink which may encourage someone to actually develop an article. A redirect won't do that. Moondyne (talk) 06:44, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

 Done Moondyne (talk) 04:58, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

for your contributions to west oz material - and have a good new year as well maybe we'll get you out of your here/not here mode and actually to a wikipedia meetup in the new year some time :) (things change in 7 years) JarrahTree 01:37, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

better images maybe - it all depends, replacing images in articles could be a matter of perspective - would be better (sic) if you could be a little more neutral when you replace images, at least in the edit summaries - more representative of the subject of the article - some images can be crap, and even fail quality wise, but actually involve better the context or the sense of the subject... always better to let others judge that... just a thought...

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1!

There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

Proposed deletion of World of Ghost in the Shell

The article World of Ghost in the Shell has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnecessary plot split that fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTPLOT. While there is analysis on the series' themes, it's not really relevant to the fictional world as its own topic. That's better left to an analysis section in the main article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Special:WantedTemplates

Hi, I have been helping with an effort to clear up false-positives in Special:WantedTemplates and found that 10 of the entries can be traced back to User:Samuel Wiki/monobook.js/script.js. For example, if you check Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Start date\ , you will see that the server is reporting that User:Samuel Wiki/monobook.js/script.js is transcluding that template. Clearly this is a quirk in how the backend software parses javascript pages, but it makes it harder to find the real problem pages. It would be great if you could put

// <syntaxhighlight lang=javascript>

at the top of the script page and

// </syntaxhighlight>

at the bottom of the script page. Since these are commented out, it won't break the javascript, but it will prevent the backend software from parsing the {{Start date\| as a template transclusion. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 22:16, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for splitting out OTR (convenience store) from On the Run (convenience store), I have been thinking of doing that the past week but was putting it off, so glad to see someone like you have done it first.

@JarrahTree I haven't read anything about a liquidation or anything around that time. I would leave it out until you get a clearer picture of what happened. -Samuel Wiki (talk) 10:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (sample).ogg

The file File:Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (sample).ogg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not an improvement to understanding Clint Eastwood (song) or Gorillaz. Not proven that omitting the file would detriment such understanding either. In other words, not contextually significant to either topic in question.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mecca (company)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mecca (company), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. GRINCHIDICAE🎄 22:18, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
