James Taylor

Hi, I saw that you added info about Rock in Rio to the James Taylor article one year ago. Just wanted to inform you that I added even more info there, but corrected one mistake of yours: Taylor was never supposed to play the same night as Ozzy Osbourne. Both Taylor's performances shared the bill with George Benson instead (and, in the first night, also Al Jarreau), and it was never even considered that he played the same night as Ozzy. The source of your misinformation may be that there was, indeed, an odd pairing at Rock in Rio involving Ozzy Osbourne: he opened the concert for Rod Stewart on what was Osbourne's first night at the festival and Stewart's second. You probably mistook Taylor for Stewart. But it's fixed now. Cheers! JimboB 23:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

List of House episodes

Quick question: Why did you add collapsible boxes to List of House episodes? Wikipedia does not use spoiler warnings or hide information. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 21:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. To tell the truth, the original spoiler templates were very similar to what you have done: you had to click on a "show" button to reveal the information. That's the reason I sent you a message. My frank opinion on the episode pages is that they shouldn't exist in the first place, as they have far too much plot information and are extraordinarily useless when it comes to "encyclopedic purpose" (see WP:EPISODE), but I shall leave that be for now. The final diagnosis SHOULD be in the plot section, not elsewhere, but apparently, a consensus stands that the information should be there. Even so, the information, as it stands, should not be hidden, as WP:SPOILER states. Your edits to the List of House episodes are more of a concern to me than your edits to the individual episode pages; for the episodes which I have written extensive summaries for, I don't actually mention the exact final diagnosis, so its inclusion should remain. By hiding that information behind a collapsebox, you are effectively enacting a spoiler, which is not allowed. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 21:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Actually, per a consensus at Wikipedia:Fiction/Noticeboard/Archive 1#List of House episodes, the final diagnoses should remain. Can you please undo your actions? If you still believe otherwise, you would need to start another discussion on such a page, and we would need to reach a consensus that your version is better. As consensus currently stands, the previous version is best. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 21:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

As I am currently writing the episode summaries for those episodes, I will do my best to incorporate the final diagnoses into the summaries so I can therefore remove the "Final Diagnosis" from the list. Cheers, and keep up the good work. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 21:43, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Unless I'm reading this incorrectly, the editors at the Noticeboard wish for the Final Diagnosis to be thoroughly removed and placed into the plot summary. Wouldn't that make it easier for users? They could just not read the episode summaries at all... NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 21:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

That would be a very good idea. It's important to reasses consensus every so often, as it can change. Would you like to start the discussion, or would you like me to? NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 21:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

<unindent>Well, NuclearWarfare (talk · contribs) just removed ALL of the final diagnoses, so I think you should be satisfied? NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 22:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Consensus stands that they should be added to the episode summaries. I am doing that now. NOCTURNENOIR ^{( t • c )} 22:23, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

List of House episodes 2

Regarding the 'show diagnosis' links you added to 'List of House Episodes' - in my opinion, you've done a great service to the community. If I missed an episode, it was always a pain for me to visit the page and struggle to avert my eyes from the spoiler while I looked up the air date and production code. Hats off to you!

Sorry little robot. Sometimes, as a human being, I just forget. Already fixed. I'm sure that with my new positronic brain (scheduled to arrive next Thursday) it wont happen again.Jack O'Neill (talk) 22:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm starting to think there should be a warning template for patronising SineBot... ;) GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 10:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Dicrossus filamentosus, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page DH (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Olive oil on pizza?

Your edit on Brazilian cuisine: I understand it may be common in São Paulo, but I've never heard of it being a general practice in Rio de Janeiro. It is even weird to think that it would in some degree may be more common than ketchup here (or even mustard). So it is better to rather not generalize your local knowledge to an entire Brazilian region, especially if it is the most multicultural one. Olive oil in the way it is sold is only regarded as a dressing for salads and some soups such as caldo verde here (though homemade chillis with it are very appreciated with many more foods such as rice and beans or meats), on pizza it is only usual on the top of rúcula (I don't know the English name) and neapolitan. 177.133.103.76 (talk) 18:16, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes, olive oil on the Pizza. I'm from Rio de Janeiro, but I do know that the rest of the country uses olive oil. The previous version (not mine, BTW) reflects that. I've rewrote your edit, this is not São Paulo versus Rio de Janeiro, this is Wikipedia, let's keep the petty differences out of here.Jack O'Neill (talk) 15:07, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
