		+	Hey, so I regularly go through and delete all unused files. This means that you don't have to add the delete template to files you have replaced as I'll get round to them eventually. I'll mass delete the ones you've added in a bit as it's taking a bit of time for things to be updated in categories and link tables at the moment. Just thought I'd let you know to save you a bit of time and effort. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon\|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon\|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon\|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 09:11, March 6, 2022 (EST)

-Hey, do you know of any references to the ''{{w|Dilbert}}'' comic strip or TV show in any comic stories? I'm a longtime fan of the strip, and when I saw we had a page for the [[Dilbert|Dilbert character]] I went looking for references to the strip and TV show. I found four in ''Simpsons'' television episodes and one in ''Simpsons Comics''. I started roughing out the page and checking in IMDB for common cast and crew. There were a whole bunch of those, so I would really like for a Dilbert references article to have more than five items before I publish it. The "work in progress" page is [[User:Mythigator/Sandbox/Dilbert_references_working_page|here]] if you would like to have a look.

 What prompted the whole "Dilbert investigation" was that my girlfriend gave me a DVD set of the Dilbert TV show for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. It consists of 30-some half-hour animated episodes. I've started watching them, and they bring back memories of the earlier days of the comic strip, circa late '90s. :-) -- [[User:Mythigator|Mythigator]] ([[User talk:Mythigator|talk]]) 02:54, December 24, 2019 (EST)
