Hi, I advised the author of this not to bunch and replicate books in the notes section and put them underneath. I began converting them to sfn notes and thought he'd be happy to continue but he seems rather upset with beginning to overhaul the references. Sfn isn't compulsory but isn't it ill-advised not to replicate books in the notes and also underneath? Care to comment?[[User:Tibetan Prayer|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#832">Tibetan Prayer</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Tibetan Prayer| <font size="-4"><font color="#C5B358">''᧾''</font></font color> ]]</sup> 19:18, 18 July 2013 (UTC) |

:Sorry, got there too late! Horrible as it stood, and your efforts certainly improved matters immeasurably, but it looks like not everyone agreed. I'm hugely in favour of the sfn style, as you know, and find some of the points people raised to be very debatable! The current refs look, to my mind, horribly cluttered and pointless (repeating the same title in fns 14, 15 and 16, for example). People keep banging on about their academic style in referencing, which I can always understand, apart from the fact that this is a webpage that changes: most of those people (and I too) would happily use ''Ibid'' to stop the repetition, but that is strictly ''verboten'' for very good reason, and the more spare style of sfn compensates for the over-wordy ref section as it currently stands. - [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat#top|talk]]) 08:52, 19 July 2013 (UTC) |

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article [[The Flashman Papers]] know that it will be appearing as [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list|the main page featured list]] on August 5, 2013. You can view the TFL blurb at [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/August 5, 2013]]. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors {{user|The Rambling Man}}, {{user|Dabomb87}} or {{user|Giants2008}}, or at [[Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list]]. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/requests/instructions|the suggested formatting]]. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the [[Main Page]] so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. {{=)}} Thanks!

The first instalment of '''''[[The Flashman Papers]]''''' by [[George MacDonald Fraser]] was published in 1969. The series of novels and short stories centre on the exploits of the fictional protagonist [[Harry Flashman]], a cowardly British soldier and [[wiktionary:cad|cad]] who is placed in a series of real historical incidents between 1839 and 1894. While the incidents and much of the detail in the novels have a factual background, Flashman's actions in the stories are either fictional, or Fraser uses the actions of unidentified individuals and assigns them to Flashman. During the course of Fraser's novels, Flashman goes from his expulsion from school into the army. Although he is a coward who tries to run away from any danger, he is involved in a number of notable military episodes from the 19th century, often taking actions that cause or affect subsequently infamous events. Flashman is a minor character in the 1857 novel by [[Thomas Hughes]], ''[[Tom Brown's School Days]]''; a bully who is expelled from [[Rugby School]] for drunkenness. The character was then developed by Fraser, and appeared in a total of eleven novels and one collection of short stories featuring the character. Although chronology of the main series finishes in 1894, Flashman lives on until 1915 and he is also found in his late 80s in another Fraser book, ''[[Mr American]]''. |

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWO-34S4eas] One of the most irritating films I've ever seen. The drone of the car engines and the constant screaming girl, and the super lame ending in which the car falls off a cliff, somehow survives and comes back for more then does it again and the second time lands on a building in the middle of nowhere which happens to be an explosives building. Add the dramatic choir like music for such a lame scenario and it really is one of the most annoying films I've ever watched![[User:Tibetan Prayer|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#832">Tibetan Prayer</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Tibetan Prayer| <font size="-4"><font color="#C5B358">''᧾''</font></font color> ]]</sup> 16:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC) |

Hi SchroCat, i have left you 2 comments on my talkpage. If it's OK for you, i would like to wait a bit with a full review, until the Commons copyright check for one image was done. Of course, if you can get a hold of better replacements for the two mentioned images, that would solve it too (other images look OK on a quick glance).

Fixed the fair-use rationale for the video image, please check the diff [[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3ARihanna_%E2%80%93_S%26M_screenshot.jpg&diff=565654718&oldid=565617300]]. Some tips for future fair-use images (i know, fair-use is a pain sometimes): |
|
|
*Avoid writing all fair-use points in "purpose", only the purpose (point 8) belongs there. The other required points all have separate parameters. |
|
|
*Don't use "n.a." or "none" for any fair-use parameter - ''all'' NFCC-criteria must be met for fair-use. Most standard arguments like "replaceable" can be copied from similar non-free images. "Purpose of use" should ''not'' be copied from anywhere, but stated as detailed as possible in your own words. |
|
|
I'll try to add a full review in the next days, but there should be no major issues left. [[User:GermanJoe|GermanJoe]] ([[User talk:GermanJoe|talk]]) 19:51, 24 July 2013 (UTC) |

:*That's great: many thanks GJ. I get lost on the fair use points normally and tend to give as many as possible: I'll try to reduce down to a more focused one in future. Cheers - [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat#top|talk]]) 20:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC) |

I still don't know how to do. I don't know about those templates. I think we should use only number like 1170000000. But, then it will be hard to understand if it was not cover into $.

Just wondering why did you revert my edit on ''[[On Her Majesty's Secret Service (novel)]]'' article? I understand if you felt the sentence was too long, but the synopsis didn't explain why James Bond felt he was discovered.
