Lists of films

Please don't add a "year" column to a list that's already constrained for the year by its own title. If all LGBT-related films were being listed in a single list, then the year column would be warranted — in fact, they once were all in a single list, which is why you might sometimes still see a year column in some of the spinoffs. But since they've been spun off to a series of standalone lists specific to a single year, the "year" column is not necessary anymore, and should be removed from lists that do still have it rather than being added to lists that don't. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 20:24, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of BatissForever

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BatissForever requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, I'm Laberkiste. I noticed that you recently removed some content from List of LGBT-related films  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Laber□^T 09:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello BatissForever, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Aban and Khorshid has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 02:41, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

April 2016

Please stop adding unsourced content. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:09, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender-related films of 2016, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ashley Campbell. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:56, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

Alongside your general inputs in Wikipedia, you have done admirable work on the Boys on Film page and this way the works of so many directors are now highlighted through this very interesting Wikipedia page. I have made very slight changes in the tables you prepared to standardize presentations, but nothing majour. I strongly rely on your commitment to update the page as new series are released. Just one question though. The detailed listings that you added, are they comprehensive or are they discretionary? Meaning have you included all the films in all the series 1-17 or just some of them? Just curious. werldwayd (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

1-15 All short films. 16 (10 out of 10)! 17 (so far only 2 out of 9) - still working - I also do these topics in IMDb - in a day or two will be all.

Thanks werldwayd (talk) 11:30, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Please! 17 (9 out of 9)!
