Please refrain from posting Nathaniel Marston's name in the current contract cast section of the One Life to Live Cast members section. It has been reported in several sources that he has been let go from the show so he should be placed in the Comings & Goings section. Also, you keep on adding his name out of order69.28.232.216 20:38, 11 November 2007 (UTC)samusek2

[edit] Chris Stack

whoever is deleting Chris Stack's name from the comings and goings page, don't do it til after the show on Monday December 3, 2007, which is two days from now. Don't put John Rue's and Januarary Lovy's name in red letters, it looks stupid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onelifefreak2007 (talk • contribs) 14:01, December 1, 2007

It looks stupid?! Red links are acceptable and preferred for links to articles which may be created. It saves the effort of finding and creating these links later once an article is created. The links are red to stand out, and encourage editors to create the articles. These are contract roles on a network series, they are bound to eventually have articles. For example, Charlie Banks (OLTL) was redlinked for awhile, and when the article was recently created, the link was instantly active. If he was de-linked in the first place, someone reading or editing the list wouldn't know he had his own article. Your time would be better spent actually expending an article rather than constantly playing around with the cast list. Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk

[edit] Michael McBain picture

Hey

Somebody needs to update the picture of Michael McBain since Nathaniel Marston is not playing him anymore and Chris Stack is.

Hey there, I fixed the image problem by re-uploading it; your original upload should be deleted. Keep in mind that you should name images more specifically, and include a fair use rationale template, copyright tag and categories. Also, we don't necessarily remove old performer photos, we move them; see the Michael McBain article. Finally, did you capture the image any bigger? The soap template automatically resizes it to like 210px, and yours is smaller so it comes out slightly pixelated. If you have it in a slightly higher resolution, you can upload it over Image:MichaelMcBain-ChrisStack-2007.jpg. Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk 21:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dates

By the way, there is no need to change dates between European/American designation (like 3 December 2007 to December 3, 2007) — as you can see, they appear exactly the same way, based on each editor's date display preferences. — TAnthony^Talk 22:53, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm an American and I prefer it the American way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onelifefreak2007 (talk • contribs) 15:37, December 3, 2007

I'm American too, but those kind of useless edits waste resources and bog down watchlists. If you're entering info, you can do it any way you want, but there's no use changing what's already there because it displays exactly the same. Anyway, I'm very appreciative of your recent edits and addition of valuable information; you should join WP:SOAPS and monitor our discussions. Finally, as a reminder, please indent your comments and sign all your talk page posts using the four tildes, "~~~~" Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk 00:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Anthony I like you do you have AIM or something cuz I would like to get to know you and this, I think you can help me out with uploading images and such. Hey if you want my screen name it's Skynyrdfreak05, my Yahoo: THSTrojan2006 and MSN: Kennychesneyfan2005@hotmail.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onelifefreak2007 (talk • contribs) 17:25, December 3, 2007

[edit] Snapshots from Opening Sequence

TAnthony

Would it be possible for you to get snapshots of Miles, Talia, Markko and Sarah from the opening sequence. I wanna keep these updated. Just a ward of caution there might be a new Opening Sequence after the new year.

PJ

Hey there, the current shots from opening titles that are on most of the characters are from a website which hasn't been updated in a little while. I haven't paid attention lately to the opening titles, but I'm not sure if Sarah and others have even been included yet, it often takes some time. I doubt Chris Stack will be up right way. Unfortunately, I'm not any messenger programs, let me know what kind of help you need. Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk 00:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

What site do you go too? They just got an updated opening sequence yesterday, Markko, Miles, Sarah, Talia, Jared and Gigi are in the opening sequence.

The site is http://groups.msn.com/oltlopenings/

I'll try to TiVo an episode to DVD and capture the shots myself soon. — TAnthony^Talk 00:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

What I'm gonna do, is I'm gonna take snapshots of Miles, Talia, Sarah, Markko, Gigi, and Jared from an episode that they were each on until I get the snapshots from the opening sequence.

TAnthony

Why don't you check out, Jared Banks, Charlie Banks, Sarah Roberts, Markko Rivera, Talia Sahid, Gigi Morasco, Miles Laurence and Britney Jennings's articles and tell me how I did, also check out John McBain's too. I did all of them.

PJ

[edit] Your images are fixed

Thanks for the uploads; as you've probably noticed, I've added fair use rationale templates to them so that they will not be deleted. You can ignore all the bot messages above. I don't mind doing it for other images in the future, just let me know again when you upload some, as you did this time.

Also, please note that in the new soap character infobox template, we use the "image1" and "caption1" templates with unlinked image names because it keeps images at a standard size. Also, do not link the character's name in their own article. Finally, you must remember to "sign" all of your talk page posts by typing four "tildes" at the end like this: ~~~~

Thanks again! — TAnthony^Talk 09:02, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The images are great thanx alot and I did switch John McBain's pic last night but it got switched back again, I dunno if it was you or not. but this pic is with the current OLTL opening sequence that's why I put it on there. I hope you didn't mind. Can you fix that as well? Make it sure it isn't deleted? PJ

[edit] New Pic and Question

Hey TAnthony

I added a new pic to the Britney Jennings. Also should I add screenshots of the Michael McBain and Antonio Vega Temp Recast or no?

PJ Onelifefreak2007 03:56, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, why not? — TAnthony^Talk 17:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

TAnthony

Ok I switched the pics on Jared Banks and Gigi Morasco's articles, I got snapshots of them in the opening sequence, umm hopefully I'll get Markko's, Talia's, Miles's and Sarah's soon. I told you I was gonna get all of them and I have two done. So prepare to do some work, If there is a new opening sequence coming out in January, you will bet that I'm gonna change the pictures and each of the cast members. I want this to keep updated so. Now that I know how to do it, and you can work on the templates, I'll be busy if there is a new opening in January. I will put pics up of the temp recasts, as soon as I start my computer in the Michael McBain and Antonio Vega articles.

PJ Onelifefreak2007 18:30, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Great, you got the images! But all you need to do is upload them "over" the old ones, not as separate images. It says "Upload a new version of this file" at the bottom of the image page. And actually, I suggest you name images more specifically, like "MichaelMcBain-ChrisStack-2007.jpg", because there are often multiple performers in the same role, and as you say there will probably be different photos in 2008. Thanks! — TAnthony^Talk 19:21, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

TAnthony

I switched Miles, Talia, Markko and Sarah's pic all of them are from the opening sequence, umm in the Antonio Vega section I added Robert Montano's version along with Robert Harte's Michael McBain, so I think I broke Michael McBain's one. Can ya fix it?

PJ Onelifefreak2007 21:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

All fixed, but when and if a new opening title sequence comes out in 2008, please don't automatically replace all of the current images. The articles don't necessarily have to have the most recent images, some of the previous ones may be preferred by other editors based on image quality or the look of the character. That kind of change usually requires discussion first. Also, please keep in mind my suggestions above about naming new images. Thanks. — TAnthony^Talk 21:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

TAnthony

Well if the new opening sequence debuts in '08 and if it's the same as the buffers now with the cast members in front of the blue background, it would make sense to have all of the characters pics in that blue background. By the way, is Brian Kerwin, John Rue, and January Lavoy are they on contract status, or what, if they are, Viki is back in Llanview so are they gonna be written out or what? Or are they gonna have the characters move back to Llanview?

PJ Onelifefreak2007 21:47, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey there

Regarding your recent changes to the OLTL articles, just wanted to remind you that we don't link the name of the article within the article (called a self-link) because following the link would just bring you back to the same page. Also, the title of the show is always italicized, and in One Life to Live the "t" in "to" is not capitalized, and doing so adds a redirect to each link. Also, I'm leaving most captions with "opening sequence" at the end to avoid having the extra word "of" -- we should always try to conserve space in the infobox when necessary to avoid clutter. Finally, most captions shouldn't have punctuation because they're not complete sentences. Sorry for all the corrections, but if you continue to make these mistakes you just create unnecesary work for editors in the future. Thanks! — TAnthony^Talk 02:18, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

You rock! — TAnthony^Talk 02:36, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey

All of them are from the opening sequence, except for Michael McBain, Moe Stubbs and Noelle Ortiz, I dunno if they are going to be in the opening sequence or not. Is Brian Kerwin (Charlie Banks) on contract status or on reoccuring status? How about John Rue (Moe Stubbs) and January Lavoy (Noelle Ortiz) are they all on contract status? If Brian is on contract status than I think you should put him there.

PJ Onelifefreak2007 02:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Brian Kerwin is only recurring. Rue and Lavoy are on contract, but that's probably only a technicality; I doubt they'll be in the opening sequence. — TAnthony^Talk 03:24, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Farah Fath

Hey TAnthony

I tried to upload a picture of Farah Fath in her article but it says image: image and I dunno what to do. Maybe you can fix it.

PJ Onelifefreak2007 (talk) 08:16, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help

TAnthony

Look I need help with Chris Stack article and I need help with the Farah Fath article, keep puttin up pics but they are like not working they always have an extra image thing that makes it, I dunno what the problem is man, Help!

PJ Onelifefreak2007 (talk) 07:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red Links

Ok

Whoever is deleting the Red links please stop that. The Red links are acceptable and preferred for links to articles which may be created. It saves the effort of finding and creating these links later once an article is created. The links are red to stand out, and encourage editors to create the articles. These are contract roles on a network series, they are bound to eventually have articles. Those Red links were meant to stand out so leave them be. I get tired of having to do that so please leave them. So editors can make articles on them.

TAnthony, would you mind making the articles for the red links on the recurring status section on One Life To Live. Or have an editor do it.
