Re: Template:Jackie Chan filmography
Okay, we'll see what'll happen with it. I thought it would be kind of nice to have a link to all of his films on each of those pages in the template so the reader doesn't have to go back to Jackie Chan filmography to check all of his films. Convenience is a main reason on why I did it I guess. --Hasek is the best (talk) 14:24, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, that'll be good. I'll start sometime today on that. --Hasek is the best (talk) 16:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I really don't feel that notability has been established for Doreen McKay. She was in 5 films (2 of which were uncredited) and then she disappeared. There is little, if any, substantial, individual coverage from reliable, third-party sources that I could find (the link that you added to the page leads nowhere and I couldn't figure out where it was supposed to lead, unless it was this, which does not really add anything from IMDB). Can you explain how you feel she meets WP:BIO? Cheers, CP 00:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Doreen McKay
I have nominated Doreen McKay, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doreen McKay. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Cheers, CP 04:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, can you please write a brief plot summary for the article The Sea Bat. Thanks. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 17:42, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

- Can you please tell me if you have SEEN Sea Bat and where you found a copy? EraserGirl (talk) 23:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Doubtful, I believe MGM made it and still owns it, I think it was part of the Turner acquisition - I am looking forward to lots of these lovely obscure items popping up on dvd. thanks. EraserGirl (talk) 10:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Oy vey
So, reading the article Dorian invasion, I came across this sentence:
Toward the end of the 19th century the philologist Paul Kretschmer made a strong case that Pelasgian was a pre-Greek substrate, perhaps Anatolian,[6] taking up a classical theme of relict populations existing in pockets among the Greek speakers, in mountainous and rural Arcadia and in inaccessible coasts of the far south.
So I never saw the word relict before, so I changed it to relic.
So I get reverted by User:Wetman, who considers it vile and inhuman that I even suggest simplifying the language in the article.
So, straw poll: am I a moron, or do people generally not use the word relict? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 23:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wetman never uses "vile" and "inhuman", and did not in this case, which AllGloryToTheHypnotoad must agree is the truth, because honesty is what civility is built upon, and a dishonest report is deeply insulting and fraudulent. So now, after AllGloryToTheHypnotoad reverted Wetman, attacking him with the club of WP:CIVILITY on his own talkpage, the article Dorian invasion now reads
- "... a classical theme of relic populations..."
- which, being a naïve misuse of relic, does give an appearance of "ignorance" to the reader of ordinary reading skills. Will you call together your fellows, as AllGloryToTheHypnotoad proposes, and lobby to get me blocked for incivility, after having edited Wikipedia since September 2003 without such a threat? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad says on his userpage "I'm an information sponge". Under the circumstances, this might give an appearance of disingenuousness: in the interests of frankness, might that be re-edited and another virtue substituted? (This page is not on my Watchlist, so I shall not return to spar with the posse you may call up.) --Wetman (talk) 02:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
I've never read so much about something I care so little about. Lugnuts (talk) 07:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Me neither, really, sorry. Just needed a random individual to vent to. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 15:42, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting! No, wait. The other thing: tedious! etc, etc... Lugnuts (talk) 17:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Stub categories
It is good of you to add stub categories to various articles that need them, but you're doing it wrong.
To add a stub category, the correct thing to do is to add the appropriate stub notice template, not the category tag. For instance, to mark an article as a drama film stub, you don't add "[[Category:Drama film stubs]]", you add "{{Drama-film-stub}}". This will put the article in the appropriate category and also display a message asking readers to help make the article less stubby. --Paul A (talk) 01:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Redirect of Oh Map Records
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Oh Map Records, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Oh Map Records is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Oh Map Records, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Film posters
My pleasure, Lugnuts. Nice to see someone notices :-) I hope you don't mind my occasional sarcastic edit summary when I'm replacing a poster that was deleted because the image description wasn't done properly. That's one of my pet wiki-peeves. Why can't a Deletionist bother to stick a simple "Fair use" notice in instead of removing a valid image, and wasting at least two other editors' time in uploading the thing twice?... But I digress and rant... Cheers, and happy editing! Dekkappai (talk) 17:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hi again, Lugnuts. Here [1] is a nice poster to Alkali Ike's Misfortune (1913), which doesn't have an article. I see you started the one on Alkali Ike's Auto, so maybe you'd like to start one on this film also? If not, I'll try to start it up later. Alkali Ike/Augustus Carney ought to have his own article too-- he was a pretty big star in the early days, I think. Dekkappai (talk) 18:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing up the Marins article and Finis Hominis. I wrote the FH article and am working on expanding it as well as the Marins page and his other films. Could you please check this area occasionally and fine-tune any new articles I might write? Thanks. Mike P talk 22:05, 27 April 2008 (UTC) '
Don't worry I;ve expanded that one. Best way is to stub them first I think so clear red links. Lord knows Hong Kong , Italian and French film is missing in gigantic loads from wiki ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 21:00, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
I know yesterday I created all the films of the Bengali filmmaker who is inspired by Sanjavit Ray, Buddhadev Dasgupta who has won the Indian National Film Awards five times for Best Picture which as you can imagine given the huge number of films Indian produces is a huge achievement but all of his films were missing. His latest film is Kaalpurush which I started yesterday. But a good way to do it is probably work through filmographies. There are numerous acclaimed Italian filmmakers and actor filmos that I will be working through. It does surprise you at times what is missing doesn't it ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 09:36, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

This category need to be divided. For example Category:1910s Black and white films, Category:1920s Black and white films, Category:1930s Black and white films, Category:1940s Black and white films etc. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 19:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Canceled Mortgage
A tag has been placed on The Canceled Mortgage, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SimsFanTalk to Me • Commons 19:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Category:Punk filmmakers
Hey there, I was just wondering if you might like to take on the job of listifying the contents of Category:Punk filmmakers, which is going to be deleted per the just-closed CFD that we both commented on. Unfortunately, the category's creator has been inactive for nearly a year. I have zero personal interest in the subject, and tons of other Wiki work that needs my attention. If you're not interested in doing it, perhaps you know of somebody who would want to take care of it? Cgingold (talk) 10:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

It's hardly the world's most disruptive template, after all. I'd be careful about mass reverting him though, you don't want to give these policy-mongers too much of an excuse to whack you with trouts :) Codeine (talk) 12:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Page protection
Lugnuts, this whole thing is getting blown up out of proportion. I will unprotect your userspace promptly if you will post to my talk, or elsewhere, a message that you will leave the "message bar" off your page, at least temporarily, until the issue is settled. And of course, please also stop reverting Nakon. I'm not condoning his actions or yours, but you should not have your page protected in my opinion. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- To clarify, you can also post here, I was under the assumptiont that your usertalk was also protected, it is not. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:23, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't disagree. I don't think you should be "forced" to do anything, we're all volunteers. Just an agreement to leave it off until the dispute is settled, as it's certainly not worth an edit war. Agreed? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:27, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- I only meant it as a good faith gesture on your part to relax some nerves. Some of your edit summaries/talk comments have been a bit over the top, (so have some other editors) and if you were to just agree to a temporary removal until this is settled out, I don't see the harm. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:31, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- It's already been dragging on for ages, well before this current run by Nakon. I can't answer that question. It's up to you. I believe you when you say that you won't revert Nakon again. Seeing as it is currently off your page, I am unprotecting it under the assumption that you won't revert Nakon and readd it. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:33, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

(edit conflict with Friday) Lugnuts, Tiptoety has agreed with the unprotection of your userpage. I would kindly ask that you would also retract your "user conduct" report. This is all blown way out of proportion amongst several very good, longstanding, and committed Wikipedians. Pretty please? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Personally, I think you should retract the user conduct anyway, because you don't have a case. You're feeling slighted, perhaps rightfully, but you've been rather incivil in some of your posts, or at the very least, rather indignant. The whole party here needs to go have a beer together and laugh it off. I'm sorry you feel slighted. I appreciate that you disagree with Nakon (and Friday and Tiptoety). Are you going to do a User conduct report on them as well? Do you not see that it's in your best interests to simply let the weekend start? Leave the banner off your page per your agreement please. Do what you will at User conduct, it's your choice, I'm merely giving you advice. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Comment by R. Baley
There is not currently, nor has there ever been (that I have seen) any community consensus that these "joke" banners can be forcibly removed from user pages. I am appalled at the treatment of this editor. I'm thinking that anyone edit warring with LN over this triviality, on his user page, should be blocked until they agree to stop. Stop the harassment of our good editors. Thank you, R. Baley (talk) 01:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, kind sir. Lugnuts (talk) 08:48, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
RFC
I removed your complaint at RFC partly because it was malformed. Normally if someone makes some kind of syntax error of this nature, I'd help correct it instead of removing it, but I really, really, hope you don't want to go there. Tiptoety was not out of line, and I hope you let this matter drop rather than trying to escalate it further. Friday (talk) 19:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Exact line of policy? Good lord, you want me to quote from some rule book? It's really way simpler than that. Your user page does not belong to you. You had something on there that people considered (mildly) disruptive. It was removed. User pages are for the benefit of the project, not for causing confusion. No rule book is needed- all we have to do is recognize that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Simple. As for the RFC.. did you check the directions? You're supposed to make a new page, not just post a complaint on the existing RFC page. As I said, normally I'd help, but filing an RFC on this is extremely misguided and I'll not be a part of it. Friday (talk) 19:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think it's worth pursuing an RfC although I disagree with Tiptoetry and rather heavy handed admin action. But, if you do create it you need to create it properly and Friday is right to remove it until it's actually formatted like an RfC/User Conduct should be. gren グレン 19:48, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Before you spend more time on this.. would you perhaps consider removing your cape? Friday (talk) 19:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Right, I've given it a go (creating the RFC that is, not removing the cape...) Lugnuts (talk) 19:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Lugnuts, you do understand, from the outset, that your RfC is highly unlikely to be endorsed/certified by another user? And then it will be closed, and then deleted. It's running in place at this point. Again, please consider just stepping away for a bit. Tiptoety has agreed to unprotect, and above and beyond that, even said from the outset of his protecting your page, that he was open to being reverted by another admin. And your page is no longer protected. The only thing your RfC will accomplish is more drama and hard feelings, and it will make it less and less likely that you will find a sympathetic admin. Tiptoety is an excellent admin, who at worst, acted a little hastily, and your page was protected for, I don't know 20 minutes or some such? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- The sun is shining, the day is new, and all seems well. I've deleted the RfC and unprotected the semi-protection that I had placed on your userpage. Have a great day - Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 15:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
In Terminator 2: Judgment Day there is the first chase scene where T-1000 with a truck chasing John Connor. John Connor is trying to escape with a motorcycle. Eventually Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) saved John from T-1000. In this chasing phrase, there is a scene where Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is jumping with his motorcycle (it was a very dangerous jump scene). My question is that whether this jump scene was actually done by Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, or by some stunt man?

You recently created a new article on Double or Nothing. There seems to be an inconsistency in the article - as if there are two different filmes. The imdb entry, the comment on it being a comedy, and the cast (Phil Harris) and director all seem to refer to the linked imdb entry.
However, the New York Times citation, which refers to the Short-reel Academy Award, has a completely different cast list (including Bing Crosby) and a different director. Both films seem to be 1936.
As you seem to be a contributor on Films, you are in a better position to make corrections than I am. Would you please investigate and revise accordingly? Thanks. — ERcheck (talk) 13:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Midnight Cabaret
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Midnight Cabaret, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? WilliamH (talk) 11:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

- Yes, the story behind that film is very curious. From what I've seen of the surviving footage, it would've been a disaster.

could you please do me a favor?
Hello,
I am a master student at the Institute of Technology Management, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Currently I am wrapping up my master thesis titled “Can Wikipedia be used for knowledge service?” In order to validate the knowledge evolution maps of identified users in Wikipedia, I need your help. I have generated a knowledge evolution map to denote your knowledge activities in Wikipedia according to your inputs including the creation and modification of contents in Wikipedia, and I need you to validate whether the generated knowledge evolution map matches the knowledge that you perceive you own it. Could you please do me a favor?
- I will send you a URL link to a webpage on which your knowledge evolution map displays. Please assign the topic (concept) in the map to a certain cluster on the map according to the relationship between the topic and clusters in your cognition, or you can assign it to ‘none of above’ if there is no suitable cluster.
- I will also send a questionnaire to you. The questions are related to my research topic, and I need your viewpoints about these questions.

The Big Noise
Hey, I did a rewrite on The Big Noise. Please give it a look-see and tell me what you think. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 03:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Congrats on hitting 3000!
I'm not a barnstar givin' kind of guy, but I've kept your userpage watchlisted and have enjoyed watching you update your article count (so much more impressive to me than other user's "edit count".) I knew you'd be hitting 3000 in no time at the pace you've been going. Congratulations, and thank you sincerely for your hard work and contributions. I still wish you'd get rid of that silly new message bar, but meh. 3000 pluses to outnumber it...:-) Happy editing, looking forward to 4000! Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:54, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- You're very welcome, and I'm bluelinking WP:FILM for you, because my talkpage has oodles of talkpage stalkers, maybe one of them is interesting in helping out over there - always good to get fresh blood involved in a W-Proj. cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:58, 19 June 2008 (UTC) crossposted from my talkpage
When Do We Eat? (1918 film)
No problem-- I'm not done yet! These kinds of AfDs really gripe my ass, pardon my French... Dekkappai (talk) 19:51, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Man... I saw that typo going by as I hit the send button... Dekkappai (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- By the way-- that NY Times citation is actually All Movie Guide. I'd fix it now, but AMG is crashing on me. I'll be where I can dig through some film references in about an hour, and will add what I can. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 20:20, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, a barnstar-- thanks, Lugnuts! I half-expected to log on & find out I'd been blocked for incivility this morning :-) If you ever have any of this sort of trouble with a film-- especially old, silent, foreign or out-of-the-mainstream in any other way, drop me a line and I'll be happy to do what I can. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 19:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Lug, sorry I'm late for the party, I didn't see your message tucked up there (my talkpage, as you have probably noticed, fills up rather fast - if you go look, you'll see that there are 11 sections already below yesterday's post from you. Yikes) I didn't notice your message until after you'd crossed it out. Looks like it's all worked out for the best though. Cheers :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 20:24, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Ah, Wilderness! (1935 film)
I like your new Ah Wilderness! film page, Lugnuts. That was a split that I've been wanting to make for a long time myself. I love those old MGM movies with Beerys and Barrymores. Wastetimer (talk) 20:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

American films to list
Did you think about discussing it with me? Can you please respond thanks ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 18:37, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
American films of 1936 to List of American films of 1936. South Korean films of 2005 to List of South Korean films of 2005. I guess your reason for moving it without discussion was MOS. I would have appreciated you discussing it first. What if we developed the years into detailed year studies in film with texts of paragraphs which I had intended originally they would become more than just lists. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 18:47, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
And nobody thought of asking me to chip in at the project discussion? The entirety of the Italian, French, Spanish, Mexican, Japanese, Hong Kong, British, Bollywood, Tamil, Telugu, Filipino, Israeli, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Portuguese, Argentine, Brazilian films etc etc are named this way. Did nobody think I might be of some worth to the discussion to change the lists I created? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 18:53, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Of course I didn't have it on my watchlist. Its just if somebody takes something to an afd or moves a naming convention I think it is only respectful to notify the creator. If I nominate something at afd or make marked changes I always contact the author of the pages first to see what they believe is best. I would do the same if it was you or anybody. If I for instance proposed moving an entire batch of 1910s film articles by some director into one article in list form you'd think I would respectfully contact you or whoever created them. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
OK no worries but if you move one or two countries, then all of them should be moved for consistency. I would suggest a wider project discussion. I have no problems if you move them all with that prefix as long as it is consistent and within reason. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 19:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
