Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Brainscan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Variety. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Sprung (TV series) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Sprung (TV series), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Recent edit reversion

edit

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick(Talk) 11:56, 6 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of A Kid in Aladdin's Palace

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Copy-and-paste page moves

edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Animal Control (TV series) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Animal Control (TV series). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

With respect, that article is 40 years old and is from a magazine that hasn't existed for 20 plus years, I'm not sure I understand exactly what the issue is with what I posted. It took me a long time to find information on this very obscure film and now you're telling me this is a "strike" against me for violating copyright on a magazine from a publisher that is no longer a going concern or archived by the original authors for profit. Frankly this feels like a Draconian response. IonicBreezeMachine (talk) 22:22, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
We don't actually base our decisions about copyright based on the odds of getting caught. Wikipedia aims to be a world-class encyclopedia, and knowingly infringing on the copyright of others does not align with that aim, so sorry. The magazine is marked as "contents are © copyright 1970 by Frederick S. Clarke." — Diannaa (talk) 22:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Look, all I want to do is share information about these forgotten genre films as it isn't widely available, that's all I've ever wanted to do. There was never any malicious intent when I put that information there. I'll try to avoid this issue in the future. IonicBreezeMachine (talk) 22:58, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable non-free use File:Picture of Jim Danforth.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Picture of Jim Danforth.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:51, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I don't have strong enough feelings to speak against this so if you feel it's in violation go ahead and delete it. I like adding information on esoteric subjects to Wikipedia, and I don't want to jeopardize that on account of Copyright policy. IonicBreezeMachine (talk) 14:15, 17 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Concern regarding Draft:Chillers (film)

  Hello, IonicBreezeMachine. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Chillers (film), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Your draft article, Draft:Chillers (film)

edit
 

Hello, IonicBreezeMachine. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Chillers".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. 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. Liz Read! Talk! 19:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Not vandalism

edit

My edit was not vandalism but rather undoing an LTA editor. Please look at the edit history of the page. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am well aware of the history of the page and how the release table used to be on the main "[year] in film" page before confusion over release dates in other territories such as Europe necessitated moving the table elsewhere. People rely on that information for research on releases of films as well as historical context for when they were release (competition, relativity to one another, etc.). What you did was delete 100s upon 100s of hours of other peoples' collective work for no good reason. If you had an issue with the layout you could've discussed your concerns on the "talk" page before undertaking such drastic erasure. IonicBreezeMachine (talk) 05:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Proposed deletion of House/Wife

edit
 

The article House/Wife has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreleased film, does not appear to be notable; two of three sources appear to be about a different film entirely

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Moriwen (talk) 23:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

For what possible reason? It's a movie that was shot, it exists, and it's notable for being part of the trend of content erasure facing modern media. IonicBreezeMachine (talk) 23:23, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
