Hello I run asianmediawiki, the site last year was placed on the meta's blacklist for inappropriate links. I believe out website would be of help to wikipedia and have had users ask about the blacklist. I have requested the blacklist to remove but mike and beetstra asked me to first ask a long standing editor in that realm to request it first. May I ask you to place such a request? Please have a look at asianmediawiki's content if you are not already familiar with it. Thank you .. -- RamenLover ( talk) 22:40, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello, since the guidelines to add
alternative text for images are being proliferated, I would like to ensure that the Good and Featured Articles under WikiProject Films have such text. Since you are a primary contributor to the article listed below, I ask you to review the guidelines to add text to images in the body. For the image in the infobox, please add alt=
above caption=
and include alternative text in this field. For an example, see the text for
Fight Club (film):
alt. Here is your article and a tool assessing it for alternative text:

Hi, Doctor Sunshine. I was looking around for a little info on what I took to be an obscure early pink film realsed in the US as The Weird Lovemakers, and I noticed we already had an excellent article on it: The Warped Ones. Great work! There are a couple paragraphs on the film in:
I couldn't find much in it to add to the article. But I've got the text and could send it to you tonight if you want. You may be able to squeeze something useful out of it. Cheers! Dekkappai ( talk) 16:59, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Et voilà! I'm not happy with the footnote placement, but can never figure out a good place to put that for a filmography... I even took the liberty of making a couple of screw-ups during the change-over, and it still worked out fine... The problem you mention about adding new films shouldn't be too difficult, judging from this experience. Just cut & paste all the films below the new one into notepad, replace one of the color parameters with a "Dummy". Replace the other with the other color, then replace the "dummy" with the right one... if that makes sense. Anyway, I think the filmography looks much better. Thanks! Dekkappai ( talk) 18:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I'd love to see Big Tit Sisters: Blow Through the Valley or Miss Peach: Peachy Sweetness Huge Breasts on the mainpage... Cooking up an "Alt" description of the poster images alone would make it worth it :) (By the way-- you left out the phrase "man with chipmunk cheeks" on both of the Branded to Kill images!) I haven't had anyone go after my articles specifically, just had collateral trouble from the Carrie Nation-types who periodically swoop on anything of a prurient nature here... always chanting the battle-cry of "notability", of course ;) Dekkappai ( talk) 23:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey-- thanks for that barnstar! Otis would have finished the task much earlier, but I've set myself the goal of starting work on at least one Roman porno a day for a while. So I've been sapping Otis' precious bodily fluids :) Hey-- maybe you can repay the favor by working through the List of Nikkatsu Roman Porno films when I put it up for Good list. (Don't worry, that's not likely now that I've seen what work it is to get the comparatively puny Kimura filmography the seal of approval :) Dekkappai ( talk) 03:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Right. Which is one of the reasons I think it is so wrong that editors have set themselves up as authorities to judge what is "reliable" and what is not. Especially when it comes to these more obscure films, I've seen IMDb be correct where the AFI Film Catalogue is wrong... Right now, Boobpedia has correct info on some Russ Meyer films, while Wikipedia-- thanks to its devotion to the self-proclaimed more "reliable" sources-- is wrong ;) And then we we set ourselves up as judges of "notability", and justify it by getting a couple other anonymous editors to agree, and call it "consensus"... Well, I'm beginning to think Jimbo should swoop down, wipe out the entire bureaucracy, guidelines, admins and all, set up simple, objective rules in their place, insist that editors work on adding and improving content, period, and ban anyone who tries to inhibit that. But I digress... and dream... Dekkappai ( talk) 13:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, my memory played tricks with me about the ending too... The hideous ape-creature (or Deletionist, if you choose to read between the lines) does indeed fall into the volcano, but there is no battle between the two. The ape-creature absconds with the mad scientist's sexy assistant and just falls into the volcano with her. Something like Gollum, but with a babe in his arms rather than a cheesy ring. Check out the front page of Wikipedia quick, and you'll catch Love Hunter there... I was rather more pleased with how well Fairy in a Cage turned out yesterday though... I'd expected it to be just a run-of-the-mill film stub, but managed to turn up quite a bit on it. In fact I'm toying with the idea of putting it up for DYK next... Maybe Naomi Tani's quote about the upside-down torture being real?... Yeah, protests against films always wind up as free advertising... Just wish the Deletionist menace would work that way here too... What's going on with the Featured List deal? Do we just have to wait until an Admin swoops down from heaven and sprinkles pixie dust on it? Dekkappai ( talk) 13:32, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Quick, check out what's on the front page! But they fouled up my hook two ways: First, they used my less-readable first version. Second, they changed "Roman Porno" to "Pink film" which is not only inaccurate, it's also going to cut down on a couple thousand clicks. Damn. And I had hopes for this one making the record. Next time I'll have to use a film that has "Tits" right in the title :) Dekkappai ( talk) 05:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Right. The rule-making pages are dominated by those who are just here to make rules. The AfDs are dominated by those who are here to Delete. And the articles-- anyone remember them?-- are the realm of the lowly article-writer, who has to deal with fall-out from the governing classes... I made the mistake of peeking in at the discussion and blew up. Jesus, pompous asses always gripe me... Anyway, the vote's still out on Fairy in a Cage. As a Kurosawa fan, you'll probably enjoy one of Wiki's newest offerings: Naked Seven. I actually had a chance to see that in San Francisco not long after it came out. I wandered off in other pursuits though... My loss... Dekkappai ( talk) 04:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
I trust you've won the debate by now? I just got sucked into another one myself... AfD... the worst... There seems to be something wrong with the page-view counter now... When I've checked the views for Fairy in a Cage the past view days [4], the 23rd seems to be a blank, and then nothing after the 24th (25th is my DYK day). Wouldn't you know it? I finally get wind of these thing, and it breaks down? Dekkappai ( talk) 13:28, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Recommendations added. You'll get no argument from me on that. It's been a few years since my last film festival but South Korean cinema was on fire. Not even in terms of Asian cinema but world cinema. I saw Woman on the Beach, Time and The Host the last time I attended TIFF and they were all great. Everywhere else it was hit and miss. Some really refreshing stuff coming out of there. Not a bad place to go, editing-wise. How do decide where to focus usually? Through a filmography or genre, or sort of a random attack? I think I've stayed with Suzuki and Japan so long just because I owe more books on them. Doctor Sunshine ( talk) 04:30, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I did attempt discussion at WT:FILM, but it did not pan out. TfD obviously got people's attention, attention I wish I had for that discussion. Don't worry, I am not foaming at the mouth toward the opposition to deletion nor you (though it may kind of seem like it). I know at the end of the day, using the AMG template does not bring Wikipedia to its knees. The outcome won't stop me from participating on Wikipedia in other venues... I believe that discussion for deprecation, especially across so many articles with too much time to investigate if such links were really added with the idea of supplementing the articles or just doing it because it's always been done, would take more time and less attention than anyone cares for. The TfD was an attempt to sever the Gordian knot. Hope you understand where I'm coming from. Happy editing. :) Erik ( talk | contribs) 23:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

The community has had more than a week seeing as the RfC was started on 29 Sep. There was clearly a consensus for the RfC to be closed (twice).

Hi, Doc. I was poking around a newspaper database just now, and see that Weird Lovemakers was playing the U.S. drive-in and grindhouse circuits from at least 1964 to 1969. In '64 it's paired with an Elke Sommer opus (Sweet Ecstasy). In '69, San Francisco, it's billed as a "Companion Hit" (which is likely just hype, but there it is). I find no write-ups, just advertisements. Anyway, this does answer the question brought up in that source I gave you-- wondering what audiences the film was shown to. It was shown to the Raincoat Brigade :-) I don't think people born after, say, 1975 are aware of how difficult it was to get a glimpse of the unclothed female form in the U.S. before the advent of cable & Internet, and, therefore, how titillating these softcore productions were at the time... Anyway, interested in more details? Think these primary sources would be useful to the article? Dekkappai ( talk) 17:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Looks like it was playing fairly regular throughout the '60s. Seems to have debuted here in late '64. I haven't seen it, but its persistence lends credence to my guess-- that it wasn't mis-represented as adult entertainment, but that it was actually pretty racy stuff for its time, even if it was of a higher artistic quality than the films with which it was billed... Anyway, you asked for it. Sit back and take a nostalgic trip through old-time sleeze cinema:

Well, I don't know Eli Roth except as the " Bear Jew". Guess I'll have to take a look at one of his movies just on your say-so :) Actually, I've always found a streak of naughtiness in Ozu. The fart/poop & pee-jokes, obviously, and the naughty kids... There's more, but I can't think off-hand. (I'm aware too that the scatological humor is considered more "naughty" by us WASPs than it is in Japan & Korea... I get a daily reminder of that at home... I could share some interesting stories ;) And wouldn't you know it? Just as I decide to go legit, I find a new treasure-trove of Pink film posters, several to award-winners I hadn't started articles on because of the lack of a poster... Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! I'm beginning to feel like Michael Corleone... On the other hand, maybe I've found my warm, comfy little niche and I should just be happy with it. I got into it just to protect some articles from deletion here, but in the process I've collected sourcing and research techniques in the area of Japanese cinematic eroticism that it would take others quite a while to put together... Tough work, but somebody's got to do it :) Dekkappai ( talk) 22:38, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, the hillbilly back-flip: I thought "Oh" when that happened. Glad I hadn't heard about it before-hand, or it wouldn't have even elicited that profound response out of me. The "nigger" joke was pretty damned lame too... Oh, one other thing-- Someone needs to inform Roth that the shock-value of the word "fuck" wore out about 35 fuckin' years ago. If you're going to fuckin' use the word gratuitously, you've got to do it with a little fuckin' style, some fuckin' panache, like the fuckin' Coen Brothers do... You know, I can't think of a single Coen movie I wouldn't want to watch at any time. Can't say that about very many directors. A Serious Man didn't come to the little cheapo theater that my family and I frequent, so I'll have to wait for it on DVD... Satire? I'm チompletely serious! I mean if the チonチept of "チonsensus", チan be transferred from チollaborative artiチle-writing (whiチh was the original purpose, as far as I チan tell) to writing rules about writing artiチles, then on to rules about how to write an enチyチlopedia... and then go on to re-designing the English language for the appliチation of those rules... well the logiチal next step is getting "チonsensus" to design our own alphabet. So, goodbye alphabet, hello Wiki-bet: Here's your チhanチe to get in on the ground floor! it oチチurs to me though that we probably want different チharaチters for "C" when it sounds like "K", and when it sounds like "S" and when it sounds like "Ch"... Maybe we should start a request for チomment on it... ;) Dekkappai ( talk) 16:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

The file File:Black Sun The Warped Ones soundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in The Warped Ones#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE
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 files}}

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Eclipse releases until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Hi, Doctor Sunshine. I was looking around for a little info on what I took to be an obscure early pink film realsed in the US as The Weird Lovemakers, and I noticed we already had an excellent article on it: The Warped Ones. Great work! There are a couple paragraphs on the film in:
I couldn't find much in it to add to the article. But I've got the text and could send it to you tonight if you want. You may be able to squeeze something useful out of it. Cheers! Dekkappai ( talk) 16:59, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
Et voilà! I'm not happy with the footnote placement, but can never figure out a good place to put that for a filmography... I even took the liberty of making a couple of screw-ups during the change-over, and it still worked out fine... The problem you mention about adding new films shouldn't be too difficult, judging from this experience. Just cut & paste all the films below the new one into notepad, replace one of the color parameters with a "Dummy". Replace the other with the other color, then replace the "dummy" with the right one... if that makes sense. Anyway, I think the filmography looks much better. Thanks! Dekkappai ( talk) 18:58, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I'd love to see Big Tit Sisters: Blow Through the Valley or Miss Peach: Peachy Sweetness Huge Breasts on the mainpage... Cooking up an "Alt" description of the poster images alone would make it worth it :) (By the way-- you left out the phrase "man with chipmunk cheeks" on both of the Branded to Kill images!) I haven't had anyone go after my articles specifically, just had collateral trouble from the Carrie Nation-types who periodically swoop on anything of a prurient nature here... always chanting the battle-cry of "notability", of course ;) Dekkappai ( talk) 23:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey-- thanks for that barnstar! Otis would have finished the task much earlier, but I've set myself the goal of starting work on at least one Roman porno a day for a while. So I've been sapping Otis' precious bodily fluids :) Hey-- maybe you can repay the favor by working through the List of Nikkatsu Roman Porno films when I put it up for Good list. (Don't worry, that's not likely now that I've seen what work it is to get the comparatively puny Kimura filmography the seal of approval :) Dekkappai ( talk) 03:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Right. Which is one of the reasons I think it is so wrong that editors have set themselves up as authorities to judge what is "reliable" and what is not. Especially when it comes to these more obscure films, I've seen IMDb be correct where the AFI Film Catalogue is wrong... Right now, Boobpedia has correct info on some Russ Meyer films, while Wikipedia-- thanks to its devotion to the self-proclaimed more "reliable" sources-- is wrong ;) And then we we set ourselves up as judges of "notability", and justify it by getting a couple other anonymous editors to agree, and call it "consensus"... Well, I'm beginning to think Jimbo should swoop down, wipe out the entire bureaucracy, guidelines, admins and all, set up simple, objective rules in their place, insist that editors work on adding and improving content, period, and ban anyone who tries to inhibit that. But I digress... and dream... Dekkappai ( talk) 13:31, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, my memory played tricks with me about the ending too... The hideous ape-creature (or Deletionist, if you choose to read between the lines) does indeed fall into the volcano, but there is no battle between the two. The ape-creature absconds with the mad scientist's sexy assistant and just falls into the volcano with her. Something like Gollum, but with a babe in his arms rather than a cheesy ring. Check out the front page of Wikipedia quick, and you'll catch Love Hunter there... I was rather more pleased with how well Fairy in a Cage turned out yesterday though... I'd expected it to be just a run-of-the-mill film stub, but managed to turn up quite a bit on it. In fact I'm toying with the idea of putting it up for DYK next... Maybe Naomi Tani's quote about the upside-down torture being real?... Yeah, protests against films always wind up as free advertising... Just wish the Deletionist menace would work that way here too... What's going on with the Featured List deal? Do we just have to wait until an Admin swoops down from heaven and sprinkles pixie dust on it? Dekkappai ( talk) 13:32, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Quick, check out what's on the front page! But they fouled up my hook two ways: First, they used my less-readable first version. Second, they changed "Roman Porno" to "Pink film" which is not only inaccurate, it's also going to cut down on a couple thousand clicks. Damn. And I had hopes for this one making the record. Next time I'll have to use a film that has "Tits" right in the title :) Dekkappai ( talk) 05:23, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Right. The rule-making pages are dominated by those who are just here to make rules. The AfDs are dominated by those who are here to Delete. And the articles-- anyone remember them?-- are the realm of the lowly article-writer, who has to deal with fall-out from the governing classes... I made the mistake of peeking in at the discussion and blew up. Jesus, pompous asses always gripe me... Anyway, the vote's still out on Fairy in a Cage. As a Kurosawa fan, you'll probably enjoy one of Wiki's newest offerings: Naked Seven. I actually had a chance to see that in San Francisco not long after it came out. I wandered off in other pursuits though... My loss... Dekkappai ( talk) 04:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
I trust you've won the debate by now? I just got sucked into another one myself... AfD... the worst... There seems to be something wrong with the page-view counter now... When I've checked the views for Fairy in a Cage the past view days [4], the 23rd seems to be a blank, and then nothing after the 24th (25th is my DYK day). Wouldn't you know it? I finally get wind of these thing, and it breaks down? Dekkappai ( talk) 13:28, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Recommendations added. You'll get no argument from me on that. It's been a few years since my last film festival but South Korean cinema was on fire. Not even in terms of Asian cinema but world cinema. I saw Woman on the Beach, Time and The Host the last time I attended TIFF and they were all great. Everywhere else it was hit and miss. Some really refreshing stuff coming out of there. Not a bad place to go, editing-wise. How do decide where to focus usually? Through a filmography or genre, or sort of a random attack? I think I've stayed with Suzuki and Japan so long just because I owe more books on them. Doctor Sunshine ( talk) 04:30, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

For what it's worth, I did attempt discussion at WT:FILM, but it did not pan out. TfD obviously got people's attention, attention I wish I had for that discussion. Don't worry, I am not foaming at the mouth toward the opposition to deletion nor you (though it may kind of seem like it). I know at the end of the day, using the AMG template does not bring Wikipedia to its knees. The outcome won't stop me from participating on Wikipedia in other venues... I believe that discussion for deprecation, especially across so many articles with too much time to investigate if such links were really added with the idea of supplementing the articles or just doing it because it's always been done, would take more time and less attention than anyone cares for. The TfD was an attempt to sever the Gordian knot. Hope you understand where I'm coming from. Happy editing. :) Erik ( talk | contribs) 23:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Doc. I was poking around a newspaper database just now, and see that Weird Lovemakers was playing the U.S. drive-in and grindhouse circuits from at least 1964 to 1969. In '64 it's paired with an Elke Sommer opus (Sweet Ecstasy). In '69, San Francisco, it's billed as a "Companion Hit" (which is likely just hype, but there it is). I find no write-ups, just advertisements. Anyway, this does answer the question brought up in that source I gave you-- wondering what audiences the film was shown to. It was shown to the Raincoat Brigade :-) I don't think people born after, say, 1975 are aware of how difficult it was to get a glimpse of the unclothed female form in the U.S. before the advent of cable & Internet, and, therefore, how titillating these softcore productions were at the time... Anyway, interested in more details? Think these primary sources would be useful to the article? Dekkappai ( talk) 17:10, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Looks like it was playing fairly regular throughout the '60s. Seems to have debuted here in late '64. I haven't seen it, but its persistence lends credence to my guess-- that it wasn't mis-represented as adult entertainment, but that it was actually pretty racy stuff for its time, even if it was of a higher artistic quality than the films with which it was billed... Anyway, you asked for it. Sit back and take a nostalgic trip through old-time sleeze cinema:

Well, I don't know Eli Roth except as the " Bear Jew". Guess I'll have to take a look at one of his movies just on your say-so :) Actually, I've always found a streak of naughtiness in Ozu. The fart/poop & pee-jokes, obviously, and the naughty kids... There's more, but I can't think off-hand. (I'm aware too that the scatological humor is considered more "naughty" by us WASPs than it is in Japan & Korea... I get a daily reminder of that at home... I could share some interesting stories ;) And wouldn't you know it? Just as I decide to go legit, I find a new treasure-trove of Pink film posters, several to award-winners I hadn't started articles on because of the lack of a poster... Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in! I'm beginning to feel like Michael Corleone... On the other hand, maybe I've found my warm, comfy little niche and I should just be happy with it. I got into it just to protect some articles from deletion here, but in the process I've collected sourcing and research techniques in the area of Japanese cinematic eroticism that it would take others quite a while to put together... Tough work, but somebody's got to do it :) Dekkappai ( talk) 22:38, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, the hillbilly back-flip: I thought "Oh" when that happened. Glad I hadn't heard about it before-hand, or it wouldn't have even elicited that profound response out of me. The "nigger" joke was pretty damned lame too... Oh, one other thing-- Someone needs to inform Roth that the shock-value of the word "fuck" wore out about 35 fuckin' years ago. If you're going to fuckin' use the word gratuitously, you've got to do it with a little fuckin' style, some fuckin' panache, like the fuckin' Coen Brothers do... You know, I can't think of a single Coen movie I wouldn't want to watch at any time. Can't say that about very many directors. A Serious Man didn't come to the little cheapo theater that my family and I frequent, so I'll have to wait for it on DVD... Satire? I'm チompletely serious! I mean if the チonチept of "チonsensus", チan be transferred from チollaborative artiチle-writing (whiチh was the original purpose, as far as I チan tell) to writing rules about writing artiチles, then on to rules about how to write an enチyチlopedia... and then go on to re-designing the English language for the appliチation of those rules... well the logiチal next step is getting "チonsensus" to design our own alphabet. So, goodbye alphabet, hello Wiki-bet: Here's your チhanチe to get in on the ground floor! it oチチurs to me though that we probably want different チharaチters for "C" when it sounds like "K", and when it sounds like "S" and when it sounds like "Ch"... Maybe we should start a request for チomment on it... ;) Dekkappai ( talk) 16:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello Doctor Sunshine! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 865 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hi Doc. I hope your wiki-break is treating you well. Just thought you should hear: There's some clown going under a mildly obscene Japanese username casting aspersions on your fine article Branded to Kill HERE.

Thank you for uploading File:Fat Girl poster.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 19:23, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

The file File:Black Sun The Warped Ones soundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in The Warped Ones#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE
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 files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
