Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 23:35, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Theroadislong (talk) 21:32, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Stuart little characters may have broken the syntax by modifying 22 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:21, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Andrewright. Zucat, thanks for creating LarryBoy (TV Series)!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This page needs extreme updating. and does not meet the criteria for notability.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. S Blake 22:16, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for creating the Bunny Maloney page. It made it easier for me to get started on filling it with info. Bunny Maloney finally has an English Wikipedia page that's also on par with it's French counterpart. So thanks a bunch! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radix Z (talk • contribs) 23:32, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Thank You, I Thought the same thing. (Zucat)

Hi Zucat: I saw your note at User talk:Drmies. You need to take a (second) look at this page - granted, there are only 4 people watching that article, and granted, you've clearly put a lot of effort into editing it, but you are not "the patroller" of the article. Everything on Wikipedia is subject to editing by others. Drmies' edit summaries indicate he found excessive detail and bad writing in the article - and it has tags for both, plus for not having any references. This is not a directory of all possible information: that's for fan sites. Find some solid references and you can add back details they mention. Beyond that, as another editor mentioned in her edit summary, talk about it on the article's talk page.

(Also, please note that on Wikipedia talk pages we start new sections at the bottom, not the top. It's easiest to click the "new section" tab above the talk page title.) Yngvadottir (talk) 06:20, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

• Ha, I see that Yngvadottir beat me to it. Zucat, I don't have much to add. Yes, you aren't the sole legitimate patroller of the article (nor am I), and while I appreciate your effort, this is an encyclopedia and we have certain standards for quality (spelling, grammar, sentence construction) in addition to a bunch of other guidelines--about wikilinking, about amount of detail, etc. Typical for such articles is to confuse character description with plot description, for instance. SummerPhD and I have looked at hundreds if not thousands of such articles, so I think you should have a little faith in our judgment. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 16:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:List of Stuart Little characters, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 17:12, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I assume this was a reference to my edits at List of Stuart Little characters. You will likely be told there that even as the article's original creator, you do not have special status in your editing. You cannot create or enforce any rules there. Instead, editing of all Wikipedia articles is subject to our general policies and guidelines. There are lots of them.

It really isn't possible to ever really learn all of them (and they change a bit over time anyway), so it's best to just start with the basics, summarized at WP:5.

I am trying to make the reasons for all of my edits clear on the article's talk page. If there is something you do not understand or disagree with, check there and ask questions. I'll try to clarify and, if we can't agree, I can also help bring in a neutral third opinion. Thanks and happy editing! - SummerPhD (talk) 18:04, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Has the webcomic received any major press coveraage, other than being mentioned on Slashfilm? Trivialist (talk) 22:59, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Wow, that's more coverage that I would have guessed. Seems worth trying to add a webcomic section to the article. Trivialist (talk) 00:08, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:07, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Snuggums (talk / edits) 20:13, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Zucat. It has been over six months since you last edited your Articles for Creation draft article submission, "List of films broadcast by Cartoon Network".

In accordance with our policy that Articles for Creation is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:38, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

That's OK, I attempted to create that article back in 2014. I really liked the idea for it. But there isn't exactly any way I can justify it nowadays. I don't really care for it anymore, Go ahead and delete by all means. Zucat (talk) 21:57, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Back to the Future (franchise). Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 20:21, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Is blocking my access to Wikipedia REALLY nessacary to protect a vision of an article. That's a little extreme, don't you think? Can't there be another compromise? I don't believe you can get blocked for multiple reversions. I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but all I'm saying is that maybe you should try to have a little more faith in people's edits before you make drastic statements. Zucat (talk) 19:40, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Nobody's blocked your access at this time, and nobody will block your access if you are willing to discuss edits rather than simply continuing to re-apply them despite other editors disagreeing with them. I recommend reviewing WP:BRD, which while it isn't policy is often considered "best practice". Cheers. DonIago (talk) 19:45, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

OK! And just so you know, those edits I was reverting were not mine. I just thought the page was fine the way it was. I'll try to keep what you said in mind next time I edit. Thanks. Zucat (talk) 19:53, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

You're welcome; glad I could help! If you still feel strongly about the issue with the article, I'd encourage you to bring it up at the article's Talk page, so that other editors can offer their thoughts on it. Happy editing! DonIago (talk) 20:28, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

This is the required warning that you are about to break WP:3RR at Die Hard (film series). Note that while a 24-limit marks bright-line violations, admins may impose sanctions for a pattern of edit-warring. Per WP:BRD, when first reverted, protocol is to discuss the issue on the article's talk page rather than edit-war. If 3RR is broken, admins will be notified. It's important for the sake of this encyclopedia that we reach talk-page consensus and not edit-war. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:42, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add euphemisms to articles, as you did in this edit. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:54, 29 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, about the video game detail you deleted, just curious if there was a reason why you didn’t just create a video game section for it? I wouldn’t want to spin wheels re-adding (even though I’m not the original poster) if it’s likely to be removed again. Thanks! MissTofATX (talk) 19:58, 26 April 2018 (UTC)MissTofATX MissTofATX (talk) 19:58, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Oh, no worries, I can definitely add a video game section, although it won't be that big as the Monster's vs. Aliens video game is currently her only video game role. Zucat (talk) 20:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Just letting you know that I didn't re-name the article for "no reason" like I claimed. I clearly stated a reason, which was a good one. We can't have an article which tries to focus on both every single live action Scooby Doo film, (both theatrical, direct-to-video and Tv-movies) and also add info about an animated film for no good reason. If we do that there is no actual topic to the article, it's just a random mess. The new theatrical animated film isn't a "reboot" of any kind, it's just another Scooby-Doo film which has *one* thing in common with only the two first live action Scooby Doo films, that it's going to be released in theaters. I've started a discussion on the talkpage, shime in if you feel like it.★Trekker (talk) 05:24, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

First off, one quick thing: The upcoming animated Scooby-Doo film isn't cancelled as of now. It still has a release date of 2020. Also, If you feel like the article has to only include the feature-legnth live action films, that's fine. But personally, I propose we move the article to Scooby-Doo in film so that way the upcoming animated film can have some representation as well along with a mini-section (or main article link) explaining the direct to video films. Zucat (talk) 23:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just comming by to say that I'm very sorry about how this conversation turned out eventually. I was very rude and that's not ok.★Trekker (talk) 05:05, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

You don't have to be sorry, you just need to have more faith in people's visions of Articles. Rudley disagreeing with others like how you did back there doesn't help anything on this site JSYK. Nonetheless, I'll definitely accept your apology since I'm a compassionate person, no hard feelings. And now to get back to the topic, I still think the 2020 Scooby-Doo should be included on the article once it's renamed to Scooby-Doo in film. I've actually opposed the idea of having the direct to video films be listed and the article would benefit both parties if it included only the major films in the series (including the theatrical and live-action television films.

Hello. I strongly apologise to bother you, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to ask for your opinnion since you specialize in Cast and character tables. It seems there is a typo in the (added by you) “Girl in the Red Farrari”, and do you think it’d be better to change “Original series” to “Main series” or “Main films” in the “Principal cast” and “Additional crew” tables’ headings (because of 2015’s Vacation)? Thank you very much for help in advance. Greetings and kind regards, -- Pinoczet (talk) 18:55, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello, sorry for the late response. I would personally lean towards to main films because 2015's Vacation is more a spiritual sequel than anything. Thank you bringing this up to me! And you weren't bothering me at all. lol Zucat (talk) 19:47, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi again. Could you add to the article’s “Other appearances” sub-section a paragraph about this, please? I don’t speak English very fluently, so I wouldn’t want to make any mistake nor describe it in poor wording. Also, it seems the info about “Blue Harvest” and “Boys Do Cry” Family Guy’s episodes needs some references, what do you think? Thank you very much for help in advance. Greetings and kind regards, -- Pinoczet (talk) 07:00, 8 January 2020 (UTC) Update: e.g. I found this, the citation: This isn’t the first time that Chase and D’Angelo have stepped into their Griswold roles in recent memory. They made a brief cameo in “Family Guy: Blue Harvest,” the animated series’ loving parody of “Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope,” complete in a flying version of the first “Vacation” movie’s Wagon Queen Family Truckster (the big green station wagon thing), and this, the citation: The DVD Version also contains a quite funny scene of the trip to Texas, a reference to a similar scene (with a more harmless ending) from National Lampoon’s Vacation. A blond chick in a sports car arrives from the back and starts hitting on Peter while she’s driving next to him. Peter responds positively but suddenly a semi approaches and rams her off the road. The car blows up in the background. Peter gets scared: “Holy crap!” Lois says: “You marry Billy Joel. It’s going to happen one way or another.” (Musican Billy Joel is one of Christie Brinkley’s exes and it was her who played the chick in the Ferrari.) -- Pinoczet (talk) 07:20, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

I've seen your edits on An American Tail: The Treasure of Manhattan Island and you removed details involving "characters not returning in The Mystery of the Night Monster" as well as removing details involving how the film was subjected. Is there something you don't want anyone to know? I mean some medias like Peter Pan (1953 film) had Native Americans and controversy involving the song What Makes the Red Man Red?, causing the Natives not to appear in Return to Neverland. Some contents involving racism and police brutality are usually condemned from further medias due to United States awareness today. Retrosunshine2006 (talk) 17:23, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

I removed that info as I figured they were unesacarry as they felt more like trivia than actual facts. Stuff like is what normal audiences could put together.

If you feel like this was a mistake, you're more than welcome to add the info back. Although, I will reccomend you add the information to a new section on the article like "Political themes or Racial content", not in the notes or references. Thank you and happy editing.
