Hello. I am Alberto García (aka, Mister Alcohol), and welcome to my talk page.
When posting here, please remember...

Sign your posts with ~~~~ so I know who I'm talking to. Note, however, that User:SineBot is now blocked from editing this page to reduce edit conflicts.
I'll probably respond here on my talk page unless you say otherwise, so that you immediately know when I've responded. To save us both time, though, I won't bother if my reply amounts to "You're welcome".
Please do not remove messages, including your own. I will archive them if this page gets too long.

Be nice. If you rant and rave at me, I'm probably not going to give a f***. A more polite response will get a much better response in turn. Thanks for coming by, MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C

If you are here asking for help, please read the Very Frequently Asked Questions first. Chances are, it'll save both you and me a lot of time. I'll be glad to help you out either way, though, so feel free to leave a message.

Indiana Jones Fedora

The reference you added regarding the fedora doesn't link to anything. Was there supposed to be a linked url? I think all references are suppposed to in order to count as a reference. I didn't want to revert your edit out-of-hand. Medleystudios72 (talk) 15:44, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. there was. Thanks for the concerns. I'll fix it as soon as I can. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 03:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 04:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of which, here's a version of the hat that's the right colour, for your nascent Wikiproject. All the best, Steve ^{T • C} 20:37, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have this thing where every tenth signer gets this barnstar - so, congrats! I try keep it quiet, though, since it slows down the signing around the 8's and 9's. :D :D :D —La Pianista ^(T•C•S) 23:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indiana Jones project

First of all, congratulations on putting this together! However, it is rather disappointing that this wasn't proposed to any of the related projects, much less at the appropriate forum. I state this for two reasons: one, projects should already have sufficient numbers of editors on-board prior to formally organizing. The other major reason is that projects of a relatively limited scope such as IJ actually have more disadvantages functioning administratively at the WikiProject-level - there's simply too much bureaucratic maintenance overhead associated with a WikiProject, as well as general guideline redundancy, to be wasting on your editors.

Nonetheless, this isn't to state that the group is not needed - merely, that it would function far more efficiently and effectively as a task force. (If you read those two links, you will find out why in far more detail, and with a great degree of excellent guidance.) This will free up you and your workgroup's participants to actually spend your energies working on the articles, with minimal workgroup maintenance, instead of having to outlay a significant percentage of time maintaining a project itself - and all that goes along with that. Many underestimate the critical importance of this, and it is a key factor involved in why projects of too limited a scope often go inactive. On the positive side, the closer interaction as a task force of a larger project affords more attention by the larger project, as well as a great opportunity for both groups' memberships to cross-pollinate. Additionally, the task force benefits from usage of the larger project's extant processes, guidelines, conventions, and departments without having to re-invent the wheel, and at no cost of time or effort for the editors organizing the task force.

In IJ's case, the project that should look at merging under would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Media franchises first. WikiProject Films may be interested in some involvement, too, although given that the scope of the group goes beyond the films, that might be to a lesser degree.

Please let me know your thoughts, and be aware that I'm happy to answer any further questions you might have. Many thanks, Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:09, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it is a good WikiProject, isn't it? -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 04:51, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not as a WikiProject, no. (I'm confused, am I being unclear above?) Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 05:23, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Far, far too narrow in scope for a task force let alone a wikiproject. Are you not aware that wikiprojects have to be proposed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals first?? The Bald One ^{White cat} 11:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Enough discussions! I know. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 06:18, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How can we help to resolve this? Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 17:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm busy working on the mainspace. But what you can do is build up this WikiProject and request it to be approved. Then we can get going with task force construction. (There are already three members and counting.) That's all I can tell you for now. - MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 03:03, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KFC logo

Peter O. Keegan (1991-02-21). "KFC shuns 'fried' image with new name - Kentucky Fried Chicken has changed its name to KFC". Nation's Restaurant News. Retrieved 2007-08-24.

Please read the cited article, the logo and signage was created in 1990 and introduced company wide in 1991, not in the 1980s. Please stop introducing incorrect information in regards to this fact in the KFC article.

Sorry. You could have cited it. If you had cited it beforehand, I may have reconsidered. Then I would know. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 06:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Friend, John Wansted, Here!

Don't worry, my friend. I've got it all under control. — John Wansted on 92.16.12.245 (talk) 18:00, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's already over, John. Thanks for reminding me. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 20:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

I reverted this edit because "E.T." refers to the alien, not the film. And I reverted this edit because "race" refers to the alien's species, not a racing competition. Ward3001 (talk) 04:36, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I get you now. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 20:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:IndianaTempleDoom.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:IndianaTempleDoom.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:26, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First Guestbook!

Hello....First Guestbook I signed! Eclectic hippie ^{talk to me} 02:47, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So you have, eh? ¡Bravo! -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 20:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the Guestbook Barnstar ...my first Barnstar ever. Your the best Alberto! Peace, Michele aka Eclectic hippie ^{talk to me} 15:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Guestbook

Thanks for the offer, but I don't generally approve of guestbooks, as I feel they go somewhat against certain policies. See you around the wiki, though. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:56, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. - Is it just me, or does your talk page header look a little familiar? ;-) Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What? I'm Alberto García. I've been editing anonymously from my Verizon IP for seven years now, Brett. I only registered THIS account just a little more than a month ago. Through all my experience, I built up the perfect markup for my userspace. I also want to become an administrator, like you. The lucky AllGloryToTheHypnotoad is probably likely to get himself a surprise when I go to see him about his username. Thanks for the reply, though. ;) -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 05:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Name

The name is awesome! Everyme 10:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AWB

I've approved you for this but please be aware that using it solely to wikilink dates is not an approved use, and in any event, consensus on doing that is currently under examination. Accordingly, I've reverted your recent changes to Indiana Jones. Cheers. --Rodhull andemu 07:14, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

rogerchocodiles

Good User Page! I have also a YouTube account but isn't called Pedrovip. it's called rogerchocodiles! search rogerchocodiles on YouTube! Pedrovip (talk) 18:19, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see you. I looked up "rogerchocodiles" on YouTube and was amazed by it. Also, that top navbox looks familiar. ;)
Why have you got the name "Pedrovip" here? You could at some time change it to your YouTube name with Rlevse (talk · contribs), who will also help me in my RfA when I'm ready. Cheers! -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 05:13, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey so add me on YouTube, so we can talk more! And i am you' only subscriber! Pedrovip (talk) 09:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)Pedrovip[reply]

No. It's fine as it is. I am truly the most alcoholic man ever! ;) Sweet... -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 02:14, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrities on YouTube

I noticed you moved List of YouTube celebrities to Celebrities on YouTube. Whilst you may believe that matches naming conventions the title change gives the page a whole new meaning; changing it from a list of people who are famous because of their YouTube accounts to be a page where someone would expect to see a list of famous people who also maintain a Youtube account. The move doesn't make sense to me; so I've reverted it. Regards, --Blowdart | ^talk 06:45, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding me. But read WP:NC, it'll tell you something. -- MISTER ALCOHOL ^T ^C 05:23, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your Background
