Hi Erik, Your Wikibreak is already taking some time. Nevertheless I have question, I have a question about the section critical reception. I have added a review by Todd McCarthy of Variety, but I'm not sure if it fits in the article or not. I have already explained on the talkpage of the film, why I added it, maybe you can take a look at, when you are back and reply to my concern. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 13:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I have also prepared reviews for Underworld the Rise of the Lycons, My Bloody Valentine, and the Box Office results of Revolutionary Road, Slumdog and Frost/Nixon. Maybe I'll try a review of the Hulk thing on my own and when you are back you'll help me. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 13:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm about to check to see if the references are reliable and spot check them for accuracy. I don't suspect much issues, so if you can get someone to take care of the copyedits, this should be a GA by tomorrow. - Mgm| (talk) 21:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah sorry about that, I always make notes and place them all on the GA talk page, I'm almost finished with the article, but I've been busy with school and stuff. I was planning to post the full review either today or tomorrow, is that alright with you? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Music2611 ( talk • contribs) 12:02, January 28, 2009
Do you think this is more appropriately merged to the comic article? This is a little more complex than our average NFF case. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 21:49, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
Singer's DVDs are always terrifically comprehensive, he didn't do a commentary for Superman Returns but made up for it with a three hour documentary. You've done a terrific job on the article; I think you could put it up for GA now and use the DVD to check for FA. I enjoyed the film yes, a terrifically performed history lesson (the best history lessons move you, IMO). Doesn't need a Themes section because of that. :) Alientraveller ( talk) 16:32, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
During my recent update of the project banner, I took the liberty of adding an additional message regarding future films, which is displayed when an article is rated as Future-Class. You can see an example of this at Talk:National Lampoon's Van Wilder: Freshman Year. What do you think? PC78 ( talk) 20:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik, I have prepared what the culturally important "Die Zeit " has written about Valkyrie, and about scientolugy as well, maybe we should add to the article. What do you think about it???

My concern is that, without defining subcategories such as "American drama films" and such, the "American films" category will soon be hopelessly overpopulated. While I agree that no one should tamper with the "Americanfilms" template, I fail to see how modifying a simple category does any harm. In fact, I think it helps. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi. Regarding the screenshots you removed from the article Enchanted (film), when is it appropriate to use them? Is it alright to use them to show the two different styles used (live-action and animation)? I read Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:FILMNFI but I still don't completely understand when it is appropriate to use them. Would it be qualified as "acceptable use" if the images were in the filming section, where it talks about the two styles? Regards, Ladida ( talk) 22:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, spying on your list again, but what'd you think of The Fall? I've watched it on DVD and Blu-ray, and there is an amazing difference. It's amazing that 18 countries were used to get all of the great shots. By the way, were you starting the discussion on the parameters? -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 00:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you cut back the prose in the list. (Disclosure: My attention was drawn to this list because I was emailed... you probably know the story.) Anyway, out of curiosity, I looked at the revision of the list that was promoted and saw that it was supported even with the prose. Since the removals are pretty significant, may I recommend that you explain your action on the list's talk page for future reference? I think it would demonstrate beyond the limits of edit summaries what you wanted to accomplish in your changes. Just wanted to share that! Happy editing. — Erik ( talk • contrib) 00:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Erik, when you come back from your break I'm gonna tell you a story about a rainy day and how I've finally found the entrance to the StarWars museum, that you are always talking about. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 22:14, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
It's late and cold here and I hope you come back soon, we already miss you. I've found the entrance finally, I was lost here already, but I made it finally Yoohoo!!!! Nothing seen this day but the entrance is there and now I only want to get home, but tomorrow is still another day to take a look at the museum. Hope to see you soon at the starwars museum.Thanks for not confusing me and goodbye. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 22:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey Erik, where are you staying so long. I start thinking I'm never gonna finish work all on my own. Despair. Cry. Sneeze. I thought I would see you today, where are you? I hope you come back soon, it's so boring here without you. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 16:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello Erik, I'm working on some Smallville stuff, but I don't get finished and I really don't know how to go on. It would be better when you were here to help me. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 19:04, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Erik! I thought I remembered a discussion re: film release dates several months ago in which the consensus was the year to use was the one in which it had its first public showing, hence my reason for making the switch. Apparently I remembered incorrectly. (By the way, I realize IMDb is a questionable source for many editors, but the site shows this as a 2007 film.) Since you definitely know much more than I, I will defer to your judgment and switch it back. To give me a better understanding of how to handle this in the future, would you feel the same way if a film was shown at several festivals in one year but not released in theaters until the next? Should the first theatrical release date always be the one used? Thanks! LiteraryMaven ( talk) 19:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I tried to switch it back and got the following response: "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move. Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text." I'll leave it in your capable hands to accomplish the change, OK? Sorry for creating a problem! LiteraryMaven ( talk) 19:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I just noticed when the article was created it was designated a 2007 film [1], then it was switched to 2008 [2]. I'm surprised when I changed it back to 2007 I didn't get the response I received a few moments ago. LiteraryMaven ( talk) 19:28, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Do you remember the title of the film where bill murray is stuck in a little village, where a little animal, a dog or something of that kind, is predicting the weather in the next spring. I know someone who behaves like this for years and nobody can't stand him by now. Please answer when you remember the name of the film, otherwise I don't know what to do next. No idea. I'm so tired. I'm curious, when do you plan to return tomorrow or next week? Sha-Sanio ( talk) 22:43, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Erik, I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to look at the Twilight (1998 film) article again. I'll see if I can find those books the first time I get a chance to visit a library. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, but I find myself in need of a few days away due to a recent "engagement" lately. While I effectively achieved the results I was hoping for in the article, I sort of feel emotionally drained, and a bit of a failure at not being able to reach an understanding with a returning editor. I will revisit the Twilight article in the near future. Thanks again for taking the time to look at it and offer your guidance. ;) — Ched ( talk) 06:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Something does seem off about them, and once I read your statement it almost seemed to click that that has to be it. The way they oddly clung to you and were wishing you would return because they missed you. How they instinctively were drawn to you, me, and Alien for some reason. Have you noticed that they are creating a sandbox for just about every single article that they come across, as well as uploading countless images? Do you think we should request an IP check? BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I need help. I was experimenting with disambiguation due to confusion of titles, I was looking through the
Wikipedia:disambiguation and made a mistake.
This article wouldn't detect "Concert Special #2 (TV special)" different from "Concert Special," which is a studio album.
It hasn't been created yet but I was adding television episodes through The Naked Brothers Band television series with television episode infobox's.
Sorry about that I should of used the sandbox first.
Could you help me with both articles and create a
Wikipedia:hatnote.

I have seen it done, but am not aware of how to set up the wiki form of ibid, so I don't have to use the long form of every citation each time.

As I can see you are still on Wiki break. Wow, for how long? I don't know if everything is correct, if every thing is as it should be or if I have forgotten to add an important detail to my contribution to the Valkyrie article. I'm really sorry you are not there to remind me. I confess, I'm a little bit afraid. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 01:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Basically my plan is to get all the Star Trek films up to FA; for whatever reason, I haven't been able to locate the old Cinefantastique articles, etc. through any of my databases (but can get them off InterLibraryLoan.) The next one up is Star Trek: The Motion Picture; if you can make a list like the one's you've done, I can go ahead and scrounge for them. Thanks :) -- Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ( talk) 21:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Sorry to interrupt your above conversation with your friend, but I was wondering about a few images in our project's featured articles. A user pointed out that Zodiac has two images that illustrate the characters. I believe the first two images merit removal from the article per the non-free criteria. Looking at just a few of our other Featured Articles, The Mummy, Kung Fu Hustle, or Dog Day Afternoon also have issues with non-free promotional images/screenshots that aren't backed up with critical commentary. I noticed a while back that you went through and removed many screenshots from various articles that didn't meet the criteria. Did you sweep the FAs already and leave the images or did you not take a look at these? I just wanted to clarify before removing anything. -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 09:38, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I've trimmed down the plot to 644 words (about 200 less than it was before), and have removed your plot tag. Please feel free to take a look at the resulting section, and tell me what you think. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 15:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Erik. Thanks for writing to me. I just have two concerns, and maybe we could work them out. First is, there's no page number given for where this ostensibly appears in the Hughes book. Second -- and believe me, I agree with you completely about pages looking cluttered -- I'm finding that because there's no explanation for why someone who supposedly wrote a script isn't credited, that this claim needs a citation. Otherwise, it feels as if it's coming from a source other than the Hughes book, which presumably would have explained why such an unusual, Writers Guild-busting thing took place.
It's different from script-doctoring after-the-fact; this sounds as if the writer's work was stolen from him -- unless the subsequent writers wrote a new script from scratch,and if that's so, the paragraph doesn't make this clear.
While the paragraph I'm sure seems clear to the person who wrote it, I'm sure you understand that others, including a longtime professional journalist such as myself, see unanswered questions that need clarification or more specific citation. These are legitimate concerns, and I have good faith that we can address these in a way we both feel is the clearest and best referenced. What do you say? Any ideas? -- 207.237.223.118 ( talk) 17:55, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
I've scrubbed through the category completely now. The remaining entries either have issues of some sort, or are currently in process at AfD (and thus, well...have issues of some sort).

See my comment there. Bzuk ( talk) 13:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC).
Production (my original version)
While studio footage was based at the Elstree Film Studios, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, other UK locations were also utilized at Knutsford, Cheshire and Sunningdale, Berkshire. Primary photography took place at Trebujena, Cádiz, Andalucía, Spain and Shanghai, China. The filmmakers had originally scouted a number of locations across Asia in an attempt to recreate the harbor city of Shanghai before entering into negotiations with the Shanghai Film Studios and China Film Co-Production Corporation in 1985. After a year of negotiations, permission was granted for a three-week "shoot." To recreate the 1941 era, the Chinese authorities allowed the crew to alter signs to traditional Mandarin lettering, as well closing down city blocks for filming. Using a large group of 5,000 extras to populate the scene as costumed peasants, street vendors, sailors and refugees, the film eventually was able to recruit an additional 5,000 extras from Shanghai factories and offices to stage the mass refugee exodus from the city.[3]
C attempted to portray the era accurately and used period vehicles and aircraft to establish authenticity. Significant in both the novel and the film are iconic vehicles such as the Packard automobile and North American P-51 Mustang.[4]Other than the recreation of the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, Spielberg eschewed the use of computer generated images (CGI) to use a realistic set and full-scale and scaled props and reproductions (the six Mitsubishi A6M Zero aircraft were reproductions that had previously seen service in the film Tora, Tora, Tora (1970).)[5] In order to stage the American raid on the camp and nearby airfield, an ingenious use of remote controlled 1/3 scale models was used to effect. The scale models allowed for a measure of control over the numerous explosions that were involved.[6]
Production (final version)
Warner Bros. purchased the film rights, intending Harold Becker to direct and Robert Shapiro to produce.[6] Tom Stoppard wrote the first draft, which V briefly collaborated on.[7] Becker dropped out, and David Lean came to direct with X as producer. Lean explained, "I worked on it for about a year and in the end I gave it up because I thought it was too similar to a diary. It was well-written and interesting, but I gave it to Steve."[6] X felt "from the moment I read Y's novel I secretly wanted to direct myself."[8] X found the project to be very personal. As a child, his favorite film was Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai, which similarly takes place in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Spielberg's obsession with World War II and the aircraft of that era was stimulated by his father's stories of his experience as a B-25 Mitchell radioman in the China-Burma Theater.[8] X hired Menno Meyjes to do an uncredited rewrite before Stoppard was brought back to write the shooting script.[7]
C was filmed at Elstree Studios in the United Kingdom, and on location in Shanghai and Spain. The filmmakers searched across Asia in an attempt to find locations that resembled 1941 Shanghai. They entered negotiations with Shanghai Film Studios and China Film Co-Production Corporation in 1985.[9] After a year of negotiations, permission was granted for a three-week shoot in early-March 1987. It was the first American film shot in Shanghai since the 1940s.[7] The Chinese authorities allowed the crew to alter signs to traditional Mandarin lettering, as well closing down city blocks for filming.[9] Over 5,000 local extras were used, some old enough to remember the Japanese occupation in Shanghai forty years earlier. Members of the People's Liberation Army played Japanese soldiers.[2] Other locations included Trebujena, Andalusia, Knutsford, Sunningdale and Berkshire.[9] Lean often visited the set during the England shoot.[7] X attempted to portray the era accurately, using period vehicles and aircraft. Computer-generated imagery was used for the Atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The A6M Zero and P-51 Mustangs seen in the film were a combination of CG-scale models. Industrial Light & Magic designed the visual effects sequences. Norman Reynolds was hired as the production designer while Vic Armstrong served as the stunt coordinator.[10]
Now, it is not to say that the final edit is not more detailed but note that the original work is still present in some wording and the original piece would have eventually reached the same place, however, not with comments such as "Eh, whatever. Anything else anyone?" "the reference section was ruined," "that's not how you cite sources, plus you ruined the infobox"... basically, taking on all comers until this editor established his priority (I'm only assuming a "he"). I simply gave up and moved on, but then the same thing happened on another article I had written, again coming from the same editor. After these last two incidents and a slew of deletions of film article images, other work came up that revolved around my writing for publication. Looking at the deadlines that were ahead, I chose to devote more time to the writing assignments and give Wiki world a rest. FWIW Bzuk ( talk) 02:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC).
Have you seen this search engine? The project page is [User:Nicolas1981/Wikipedia Reference Search here], and you can request the addition of sources that are not already on the list.

An Administrator suggested that I inform this project about a newly revised website which helps teachers use movies in class. It is a non-commercial site which earns no income. It provides links to primary sources, like national archives, and links to secondary sources such as Google Books. I'm not sure who to inform, and I didn't want to raise the issue in a more public setting (so as to avoid unintentionally breaking any Wiki rules), so I thought I would give the information to you. Here is the link to the film section of the site. http://www.awesomestories.com/flicks -- Coverage1600 ( talk) 13:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
OK - thanks. I thought it would be a way for school districts to allow the use of Wikipedia as a source because of all the site's links to primary materials at various national archives, libraries and government sites like NASA. I am an educator, and the policy rules at least for us are that our students are not permitted to cite Wikipedia as a resource. (I don't make the rules!) We do allow them to use Wikipedia if it leads them to non-Wikipedia sites, like those you list in your external links. Our students may use Wikipedia as a starting point but not as a cited source. -- Coverage1600 ( talk) 19:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik,
I re-added information on the gossip site What Would Tyler Durden Do? to the Fight Club (film) page. Given the popularity of the site, I do not believe this bit of information is at all trivial.

Hi, Erik! Thanks for the advice. (I'm curious . . . how did you happen to see a message on my talk page?) I will initiate the discussion as you suggested, but am uncertain as to what happens next.

Saw it, it was very worthy of its source material. The adaptation reminded me of Tony's copyediting guidelines: you got great content, but you get to the point in reiterating that story to others. I think the fact there were actors there, it started to put things in perspective, I felt more sympathy towards the Comedian and Rorschach while Manhattan came across as a bit gormless.

Hi User:Erik,
This film article got a C rating in the nominee.
Um... I've edited it more, and am wondering if I should add a Trivia section.
Because,
Polly Draper (the writer and director of the film, and the boys' mom) is best known for her role on
Thirtysomething; Michael Wolff is known for leading the band on
The Arsenio Hall Show, it's not on topic of the film, but it's an important fact, so they might ring a bell for those reading it who was born in the baby boomers; Albie Hecht being the founder of Spike TV; and that this is Draper's directing debut and her screenwriting debut was with
The Tic Code.
Would that be good on a Trivia section or should it be in a different category?
Oh, would you also know how to improve the article more then I did and, maybe, even if you could find more information for the Filming section that's a subcategory of Production.
Thanx!

I don't quite understand your objection to my change to Valkyrie (Film). I thought those who watched the movie would be interested to know what parts in the film were historically accurate and what parts were changed. That Olbricht was the first to propose Valkyrie plan, that Eta von Tresckow and Margarette von Oven, etc are not my original research but related in history books such as History of German Resistance (Hoffmann). I don't understand your objection to the sources being pre-movie since there were no new development about what we know about Valkyrie since these books came out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theilian ( talk • contribs) 01:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik. I saw your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Expendables (2010 film) and was wondering if you might take a look at The Expendables (Film); do you have an opinion as to whether this ought to be speedied, or remain? Thanks, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 23:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik! This film is really to new to judge cats but judging by the director's style and ouevre and allmovie calling it an action film you could add Category:2000s action films, but that's all I'd say for now. I'll add it myself. Otherwise, it would be too "crystal ball-ish" to say for certain. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 03:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik, Your Wikibreak is already taking some time. Nevertheless I have question, I have a question about the section critical reception. I have added a review by Todd McCarthy of Variety, but I'm not sure if it fits in the article or not. I have already explained on the talkpage of the film, why I added it, maybe you can take a look at, when you are back and reply to my concern. Sha-Sanio ( talk) 13:07, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I have also prepared reviews for Underworld the Rise of the Lycons, My Bloody Valentine, and the Box Office results of Revolutionary Road, Slumdog and Frost/Nixon.

My concern is that, without defining subcategories such as "American drama films" and such, the "American films" category will soon be hopelessly overpopulated. While I agree that no one should tamper with the "Americanfilms" template, I fail to see how modifying a simple category does any harm. In fact, I think it helps. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi. Regarding the screenshots you removed from the article Enchanted (film), when is it appropriate to use them? Is it alright to use them to show the two different styles used (live-action and animation)? I read Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:FILMNFI but I still don't completely understand when it is appropriate to use them. Would it be qualified as "acceptable use" if the images were in the filming section, where it talks about the two styles? Regards, Ladida ( talk) 22:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, spying on your list again, but what'd you think of The Fall? I've watched it on DVD and Blu-ray, and there is an amazing difference.

Hello, I noticed that you cut back the prose in the list. (Disclosure: My attention was drawn to this list because I was emailed... you probably know the story.) Anyway, out of curiosity, I looked at the revision of the list that was promoted and saw that it was supported even with the prose. Since the removals are pretty significant, may I recommend that you explain your action on the list's talk page for future reference?

Hi, Erik! I thought I remembered a discussion re: film release dates several months ago in which the consensus was the year to use was the one in which it had its first public showing, hence my reason for making the switch. Apparently I remembered incorrectly. (By the way, I realize IMDb is a questionable source for many editors, but the site shows this as a 2007 film.) Since you definitely know much more than I, I will defer to your judgment and switch it back. To give me a better understanding of how to handle this in the future, would you feel the same way if a film was shown at several festivals in one year but not released in theaters until the next? Should the first theatrical release date always be the one used? Thanks! LiteraryMaven ( talk) 19:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I tried to switch it back and got the following response: "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move. Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text." I'll leave it in your capable hands to accomplish the change, OK? Sorry for creating a problem! LiteraryMaven ( talk) 19:22, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
P.S. I just noticed when the article was created it was designated a 2007 film [1], then it was switched to 2008 [2]. I'm surprised when I changed it back to 2007 I didn't get the response I received a few moments ago. LiteraryMaven ( talk) 19:28, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik, I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to look at the Twilight (1998 film) article again. I'll see if I can find those books the first time I get a chance to visit a library. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, but I find myself in need of a few days away due to a recent "engagement" lately. While I effectively achieved the results I was hoping for in the article, I sort of feel emotionally drained, and a bit of a failure at not being able to reach an understanding with a returning editor. I will revisit the Twilight article in the near future. Thanks again for taking the time to look at it and offer your guidance. ;) — Ched ( talk) 06:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Something does seem off about them, and once I read your statement it almost seemed to click that that has to be it. The way they oddly clung to you and were wishing you would return because they missed you. How they instinctively were drawn to you, me, and Alien for some reason. Have you noticed that they are creating a sandbox for just about every single article that they come across, as well as uploading countless images? Do you think we should request an IP check? BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:02, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
I need help. I was experimenting with disambiguation due to confusion of titles, I was looking through the
Wikipedia:disambiguation and made a mistake.
This article wouldn't detect "Concert Special #2 (TV special)" different from "Concert Special," which is a studio album.
It hasn't been created yet but I was adding television episodes through The Naked Brothers Band television series with television episode infobox's.
Sorry about that I should of used the sandbox first.
Could you help me with both articles and create a

Sorry to interrupt your above conversation with your friend, but I was wondering about a few images in our project's featured articles. A user pointed out that Zodiac has two images that illustrate the characters. I believe the first two images merit removal from the article per the non-free criteria. Looking at just a few of our other Featured Articles, The Mummy, Kung Fu Hustle, or Dog Day Afternoon also have issues with non-free promotional images/screenshots that aren't backed up with critical commentary. I noticed a while back that you went through and removed many screenshots from various articles that didn't meet the criteria. Did you sweep the FAs already and leave the images or did you not take a look at these? I just wanted to clarify before removing anything. -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 09:38, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Erik. Thanks for writing to me. I just have two concerns, and maybe we could work them out. First is, there's no page number given for where this ostensibly appears in the Hughes book. Second -- and believe me, I agree with you completely about pages looking cluttered -- I'm finding that because there's no explanation for why someone who supposedly wrote a script isn't credited, that this claim needs a citation. Otherwise, it feels as if it's coming from a source other than the Hughes book, which presumably would have explained why such an unusual, Writers Guild-busting thing took place.
It's different from script-doctoring after-the-fact; this sounds as if the writer's work was stolen from him -- unless the subsequent writers wrote a new script from scratch,and if that's so, the paragraph doesn't make this clear.
While the paragraph I'm sure seems clear to the person who wrote it, I'm sure you understand that others, including a longtime professional journalist such as myself, see unanswered questions that need clarification or more specific citation. These are legitimate concerns, and I have good faith that we can address these in a way we both feel is the clearest and best referenced. What do you say? Any ideas? -- 207.237.223.118 ( talk) 17:55, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

See my comment there. Bzuk ( talk) 13:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC).
Production (my original version)
While studio footage was based at the Elstree Film Studios, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England, other UK locations were also utilized at Knutsford, Cheshire and Sunningdale, Berkshire. Primary photography took place at Trebujena, Cádiz, Andalucía, Spain and Shanghai, China. The filmmakers had originally scouted a number of locations across Asia in an attempt to recreate the harbor city of Shanghai before entering into negotiations with the Shanghai Film Studios and China Film Co-Production Corporation in 1985. After a year of negotiations, permission was granted for a three-week "shoot." To recreate the 1941 era, the Chinese authorities allowed the crew to alter signs to traditional Mandarin lettering, as well closing down city blocks for filming. Using a large group of 5,000 extras to populate the scene as costumed peasants, street vendors, sailors and refugees, the film eventually was able to recruit an additional 5,000 extras from Shanghai factories and offices to stage the mass refugee exodus from the city.[3]
C attempted to portray the era accurately and used period vehicles and aircraft to establish authenticity. Significant in both the novel and the film are iconic vehicles such as the Packard automobile and North American P-51 Mustang.[4]Other than the recreation of the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, Spielberg eschewed the use of computer generated images (CGI) to use a realistic set and full-scale and scaled props and reproductions (the six Mitsubishi A6M Zero aircraft were reproductions that had previously seen service in the film Tora, Tora, Tora (1970).)[5] In order to stage the American raid on the camp and nearby airfield, an ingenious use of remote controlled 1/3 scale models was used to effect. The scale models allowed for a measure of control over the numerous explosions that were involved.[6]
Production (final version)
Warner Bros. purchased the film rights, intending Harold Becker to direct and Robert Shapiro to produce.[6] Tom Stoppard wrote the first draft, which V briefly collaborated on.[7] Becker dropped out, and David Lean came to direct with X as producer. Lean explained, "I worked on it for about a year and in the end I gave it up because I thought it was too similar to a diary. It was well-written and interesting, but I gave it to Steve."[6] X felt "from the moment I read Y's novel I secretly wanted to direct myself."[8] X found the project to be very personal. As a child, his favorite film was Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai, which similarly takes place in a Japanese prisoner of war camp. Spielberg's obsession with World War II and the aircraft of that era was stimulated by his father's stories of his experience as a B-25 Mitchell radioman in the China-Burma Theater.[8] X hired Menno Meyjes to do an uncredited rewrite before Stoppard was brought back to write the shooting script.[7]
C was filmed at Elstree Studios in the United Kingdom, and on location in Shanghai and Spain. The filmmakers searched across Asia in an attempt to find locations that resembled 1941 Shanghai. They entered negotiations with Shanghai Film Studios and China Film Co-Production Corporation in 1985.[9] After a year of negotiations, permission was granted for a three-week shoot in early-March 1987. It was the first American film shot in Shanghai since the 1940s.[7] The Chinese authorities allowed the crew to alter signs to traditional Mandarin lettering, as well closing down city blocks for filming.[9] Over 5,000 local extras were used, some old enough to remember the Japanese occupation in Shanghai forty years earlier. Members of the People's Liberation Army played Japanese soldiers.[2] Other locations included Trebujena, Andalusia, Knutsford, Sunningdale and Berkshire.[9] Lean often visited the set during the England shoot.[7] X attempted to portray the era accurately, using period vehicles and aircraft. Computer-generated imagery was used for the Atomic bombing of Nagasaki. The A6M Zero and P-51 Mustangs seen in the film were a combination of CG-scale models. Industrial Light & Magic designed the visual effects sequences. Norman Reynolds was hired as the production designer while Vic Armstrong served as the stunt coordinator.[10]
Now, it is not to say that the final edit is not more detailed but note that the original work is still present in some wording and the original piece would have eventually reached the same place, however, not with comments such as "Eh, whatever. Anything else anyone?" "the reference section was ruined," "that's not how you cite sources, plus you ruined the infobox"... basically, taking on all comers until this editor established his priority (I'm only assuming a "he"). I simply gave up and moved on, but then the same thing happened on another article I had written, again coming from the same editor. After these last two incidents and a slew of deletions of film article images, other work came up that revolved around my writing for publication. Looking at the deadlines that were ahead, I chose to devote more time to the writing assignments and give Wiki world a rest. FWIW Bzuk ( talk) 02:11, 24 February 2009 (UTC).

An Administrator suggested that I inform this project about a newly revised website which helps teachers use movies in class. It is a non-commercial site which earns no income. It provides links to primary sources, like national archives, and links to secondary sources such as Google Books. I'm not sure who to inform, and I didn't want to raise the issue in a more public setting (so as to avoid unintentionally breaking any Wiki rules), so I thought I would give the information to you. Here is the link to the film section of the site. http://www.awesomestories.com/flicks -- Coverage1600 ( talk) 13:51, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
OK - thanks. I thought it would be a way for school districts to allow the use of Wikipedia as a source because of all the site's links to primary materials at various national archives, libraries and government sites like NASA. I am an educator, and the policy rules at least for us are that our students are not permitted to cite Wikipedia as a resource. (I don't make the rules!) We do allow them to use Wikipedia if it leads them to non-Wikipedia sites, like those you list in your external links. Our students may use Wikipedia as a starting point but not as a cited source. -- Coverage1600 ( talk) 19:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Erik,
I re-added information on the gossip site What Would Tyler Durden Do? to the Fight Club (film) page. Given the popularity of the site, I do not believe this bit of information is at all trivial.

Do you think this photo of the set under construction with the director and cameraman mean Iron Man II now passes WP:NFF? Alientraveller ( talk) 23:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey there. I can't live with "crossing a milestone;" it isn't done. I'm trying ground-breaking. Which ref supports the claim about the film's political impact/influence? Jimintheatl ( talk) 23:02, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Wow, this must be what it was like when 2001 or Blade Runner or Fight Club came out. This is a good read. So, is it being captioned this weekend? Alientraveller ( talk) 23:09, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
Saw it, it was very worthy of its source material. The adaptation reminded me of Tony's copyediting guidelines: you got great content, but you get to the point in reiterating that story to others. I think the fact there were actors there, it started to put things in perspective, I felt more sympathy towards the Comedian and Rorschach while Manhattan came across as a bit gormless.

Could you help sort out attribution for this article, before I nominate it for DYK? It's built out of stuff from the comic and film articles. It'll probably be you, WesleyDodds, and me (I did the lead section) who are the "primary" authors. Sceptre ( talk) 00:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Sometimes I really regret taking on the Watchmen article as a project. WesleyDodds ( talk) 09:38, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi User:Erik,
This film article got a C rating in the nominee.
Um... I've edited it more, and am wondering if I should add a Trivia section.
Because,
Polly Draper (the writer and director of the film, and the boys' mom) is best known for her role on
Thirtysomething; Michael Wolff is known for leading the band on
The Arsenio Hall Show, it's not on topic of the film, but it's an important fact, so they might ring a bell for those reading it who was born in the baby boomers; Albie Hecht being the founder of Spike TV; and that this is Draper's directing debut and her screenwriting debut was with
The Tic Code.
Would that be good on a Trivia section or should it be in a different category?
Oh, would you also know how to improve the article more then I did and, maybe, even if you could find more information for the Filming section that's a subcategory of Production.
Thanx!
ATC .

I don't quite understand your objection to my change to Valkyrie (Film). I thought those who watched the movie would be interested to know what parts in the film were historically accurate and what parts were changed. That Olbricht was the first to propose Valkyrie plan, that Eta von Tresckow and Margarette von Oven, etc are not my original research but related in history books such as History of German Resistance (Hoffmann). I don't understand your objection to the sources being pre-movie since there were no new development about what we know about Valkyrie since these books came out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theilian ( talk • contribs) 01:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Erik, would you like to vote for me in the Wikiproject Film Coordinators Elections? Shamwow86 ( talk) 19:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Erik, it's been a while since I've been here, but I just want to tell you about something that has occurred. Shamwow86 has left a questionable message on my talk page:

Hi Erik. I saw your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Expendables (2010 film) and was wondering if you might take a look at The Expendables (Film); do you have an opinion as to whether this ought to be speedied, or remain? Thanks, Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 23:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
I just want to say: if this film is for real, I need to watch it so bad. WesleyDodds ( talk) 00:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Erik! This film is really to new to judge cats but judging by the director's style and ouevre and allmovie calling it an action film you could add Category:2000s action films, but that's all I'd say for now. I'll add it myself. Otherwise, it would be too "crystal ball-ish" to say for certain. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 03:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

I probably should have looked before I leapt in reverting you, but I'm a little unsure of the distinction you're trying to make here. I don't see how it is advantageous to have two nearly identical templates as opposed to one. PC78 ( talk) 17:00, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
