I sourced the information that you added diff, MichaelQSchmidt ( talk) 07:44, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I'd like to hear your opinions at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Notability and fiction, given I respect and applaud your work with film articles and WP:FILMS, which in my opinion has the best approach to fiction-related topics on Wikipedia (which is, in my view, basically ignoring the "fiction" aspect and focusing on the subject as a "production" instead of a "story", because relying on primary sources to help asset notability and rationalize subarticles is all sorts of messed up).

Erik, a new user Shetc seems intent on adding an unknown actor Steve Hiller to the credits of Up in the Air (film). His only contributions are these edits. I reverted his original edits and left him a gentle reminder on his discussion page. I do not wish to get into an edit war with a new user, so I will let someone else revert his last edit. When you have a chance, you may wish to remind him that his edits do not meet the standards of film articles. I will expect your response, if any, on your talk page. -- Dan Dassow ( talk) 02:38, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't have access to the journals to really be of any use. I'll try and save the article from deletion though. It just needs more neutrality and some copyediting to make it less of an academic essay in itself. A lot of the people on AfD just like deleting stuff rather than actually contributing anything!

This seems to have passed me by; don't know if you saw it: Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Deprecating "Future" templates#Proposal.

Hi!
I added a screenshot the above film in order to illustrate, what I believe to be, a somewhat important aspect of the film and the actor chosen for the main role. I used the screenshot you uploaded to Fight Club as a reference when adding my image so I wanted to see if you wouldn't mind taking a look at my image, it's use and it's rationale to see if there are any glaring problems with it being used the way I intended it to.

Any chance you can take more of a leadership role on the talk page? A roadmap to GA might help, explaining the bare minimum reviewers will be looking for here.

Hi User:Erik,
As you may know
The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie was nominated for FAC status, but was currently closed, because their is still minor MOS that needs to be fixed.
I was working with
User:Matthewedwards, but he is currently moving and doesn't have any internet connection.
So, I looked at the policies at
WP:MOS and also looked at featured articles that were films.
I fixed up the lead section for The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie and am wondering your opinion on it.
Also, in the article their is repeats and don't know what should be repeated and what shouldn't be repeated.
I wanted to know if you could detect some of this, plus other MOS that you find.
Also, someone mentioned a problem with post-production because it explained an award that was received at a film festival.
The reason why I did that was because television executive
Albie Hecht saw the film there that day and brought it to Nickelodeon to develop into a series; meaning I had to add about the award there.
So I thought "Post-production" meant that everything that took place after filming, but an FAC evaluator complained that it doesn't belong their.
What do you think?
Thanx!

I appreciate your acknowledgement of my contributions to film articles and I am deeply flattered you think I would make a good coordinator. However, I have been contributing to Wikipedia for slightly less than a year and I'm not certain I'm ready at this time to accept what I view as a major undertaking and a large responsibility. If you still feel I'm qualified the next time elections are held, encourage me again and I may consider accepting the challenge. Thank you for your confidence in me, and rest assured you have my vote in the upcoming election! LiteraryMaven ( talk • contrib) 14:54, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
I am going to follow that sentiment. I really appreciate the motion but I don't think I am prepared to be a coordinator. I really haven't done major edits to GAs or FAs, and I only have about a year of experience total on Wikipedia. I will definitely consider this in the future but it seems a little preemptive for me this year. BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 21:02, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

How would you suggest we deal with the category "Original Song Score or Adaptation Score" that was given at the Academy Awards for a while?

Hey Erik, you should really be putting Fight Club up at WP:TFA/R at some point soon (tomorrow is the earliest you can nominate it) just to be sure that no-one nominates another film article between now and Fight Club's ten-year anniversary. If you haven't written a 1,200-character blurb already, here's my take, thrown together just to see how it might look. Use, discard or edit at will. :-) Steve T • C 13:48, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

For future ref, to file a 3RR you need the first version reverted to, then 2 reverts, a 3RR warning, an attempt to discuss the revert on the talkpage, the third revert (4th edit) then the fourth revert. The fourth revert (fifth edit) is the point at which a report is filed, and you have to avoid making more than three edits yourself. Shimon Yanowitz never got to the fifth edit, so could not have a 3RR report filed, however his edits were disruptive anyway. Darrenhusted (talk) 14:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC) Ok so to understand what you are saying it takes 5 to violate the rule?Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC) Well, not to some admins, certainly not. But to take it to the noticeboard, the user has to have reverted again after their final warning for 3. So, sort of. It's 5 if they're adding the content (since the addition isn't a revert), 4 if they're trying to revert someone else's addition. --King ÖÖmie III 14:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC) Ok never knew that one, thanks for letting me know. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC) It's sort of a counting/fencepost kind of thing. --King ÖÖmie III 00:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC) One note -- you can warn about imminent 3RR violations before the 3rd revert, so that might slightly affect the timing here. Still, the 4th revert is required for there to be a violation. It doesn't have to be the fourth revert of the same information, just the same page, and consecutive reverts are generally counted as a single one (iow, if someone undoes 6 edits, someone else edits, and then they undo that one as well, that's two reverts, not seven). --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC) |
FWIW, I added my support to the Fight Club "Today's featured article" consideration. I've told you before, but it bears repeating, it's a great article. Okay, that's one note.

No problem! I've added one more cat. I don't know much about the plot about this film so more specific cats probably can't be added now. Also, since I haven't seen it, imdb says it's an english-language film but why would it then be pushed for a "Foreign Language" film award at the Oscars? I'm not an expert on Oscar info, so I left that cat out for now. Without the plot, I can't add too many more specifics about genre or theme cats for this film. Good job with the article though! :) Andrzejbanas ( talk) 15:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Your comments on the District 9 article were interesting and I would encourage you to try and find a review or academic paper that reiterates the points you were trying to make so that you could reinclude them in the article because despite your points being clever they will not survive without citations to back them up.

I understand completely why you would prefer prose over a list of awards. Do you think, though, there may be a benefit to having a list in a high profile article, especially one that may have won a number of awards? I know this film hasn't won many awars (yet, at least), but I'm thinking of articles such as Juno where, to me personally, the list seems easier to read and easier to absorb that amount of information. I'm not disagreeing with the conversion of my list to prose (actually, I think it looks pretty good the way you wrote it) but I just wanted to get your thoughts on whether some information (such as a list) wouldn't be better served in a raw format, not much unlike an infobox.

Hi Erik,
You asked me some time back about joining the Films Project. I'm of two minds. I am an old-time IMDb researcher. So that's compatible.
But I'm currently between jobs, so I work on WP just to relax and contribute to something productive. It's probably wise right now for me to resist the temptation to take on more side projects.
So, I'm not without interest, but I should probably direct my focus elsewhere.
What sort of things had you in mind back when you extended your offer to me?

I have updated all of the respective pages based on the results. Since you will be serving as lead again, I figured I let you greet all the new coordinators. We definitely should make the T&A drive the first priority, and even if we don't get it started at the first of the month, we should try and aim for the first week. That way I can still just mention it in the newsletter instead of having to send a message to all members twice. We should also be doing a roll call soon since when I did the election notices, I left notes on ~20-30 talk pages that only consisted of our monthly newsletter and disputed FUR messages. If those editors are no longer active on Wikipedia, it would be good to update the list so it would help to reduce the delivery time for messages. Anyway, congrats on another term, and let's hope for another successful term in further improving the project. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 04:21, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations on your continuing the lead coordinator position! You and Nehrams2020 both make me feel a part of this project where, if you recall, I didn't so much before. I go through the WP:ACTOR rolls about every 6 months and move members who haven't edited in the past 6 months to the inactive rolls. I may have done that once on this one, but I can't be sure. I wish that project was as organized and essential as this one, but I think we manage to keep it semi-going. Looking forward to another productive 6 months! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 21:36, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
A roll call is certainly due; IIRC the last one was done during the Septemer 2008 coordinators election. I know last term Giro was keen to do this for the task forces as well, and I think that's smart -- it would be good to know how active they really are. May as well do the lot all at once.

I'm disinclined to work on most Disney-related articles because of a certain vandal, though I'm happy to participate in discussions and offer advice (and could help with a quick starting of the article if someone else is willing to keep working on it after its going).

It looks like you've been busy the last few days, but when you get the chance, can you comment at the summary I posted for the drive? The main thing that's going to hold this off is that if we're going to be adding a C-class we should consult with other members of the project to make sure there is consensus. If there is, we'll need to restructure the drive and the assessment requirements for a new class (as well as format the banner, cats, etc. and remove the A/Future classes). We should try to get this moving along as we're eating into our six months and it would be great to get on with the assessments. --Happy editing!

Hi Erik, it's Hunter Kahn. I don't know if you remember me, but you provided some very helpful information during my old FAC nomination for the Tender Mercies film entry. If you'll recall, the issues back then were a lack of a comprehensive "Themes" section and scholarly sources. I think your those issues are now resolved, in no small part thanks to your feedback. I would have nominated it again long ago, but I got bogged down with some real-life matters, as well as the fact that it took me a particularly long time to track down one particular journal article I wanted. That being said, I think Tender Mercies is ready now and I've once again nominated it for FAC. If you can spare the time, I'm very much hoping you'll weigh in on the new FAC page.

I was on a break and so missed the discussion and subsequent CfD. After reading the discussions, my preference is still for Category:Western (genre) films, followed by your suggestion of Category:Films in the Western genre. I understand the reasons for renaming the category, but my preference lies with a title that removes any ambiguity regarding the meaning of "Western". For me, the phrase "Western (cultural object/topic)" almost always evokes the meaning of "Western world", so "Western films" translates to "films produced in the Western world" much like "Western values" translates to "values prevalent in the Western world".

Erik, we still haven't heard anyone object on the substance of my proposal to the Plot graph change. I'm sure we can both see how obvious it is that I'm proposing an improvement.
This reminds me of the time there was a little dispute over at No Country for Old Men. I had some different ideas from another editor. We hashed it out for a while without agreeing and then I did my best to include his concerns in an edit that I did. So we sort of listened to each other and took each other's good faith into account. It's not a good idea to leave yourself open to charges of bad faith, especially when you likely have the intelligence to accept a reasonable improvement.

I'd like to hear your opinions at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Notability and fiction, given I respect and applaud your work with film articles and WP:FILMS, which in my opinion has the best approach to fiction-related topics on Wikipedia (which is, in my view, basically ignoring the "fiction" aspect and focusing on the subject as a "production" instead of a "story", because relying on primary sources to help asset notability and rationalize subarticles is all sorts of messed up).

Erik, a new user Shetc seems intent on adding an unknown actor Steve Hiller to the credits of Up in the Air (film). His only contributions are these edits. I reverted his original edits and left him a gentle reminder on his discussion page. I do not wish to get into an edit war with a new user, so I will let someone else revert his last edit. When you have a chance, you may wish to remind him that his edits do not meet the standards of film articles.

Hi!
I added a screenshot the above film in order to illustrate, what I believe to be, a somewhat important aspect of the film and the actor chosen for the main role. I used the screenshot you uploaded to Fight Club as a reference when adding my image so I wanted to see if you wouldn't mind taking a look at my image, it's use and it's rationale to see if there are any glaring problems with it being used the way I intended it to.

Hi User:Erik,
As you may know
The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie was nominated for FAC status, but was currently closed, because their is still minor MOS that needs to be fixed.
I was working with
User:Matthewedwards, but he is currently moving and doesn't have any internet connection.
So, I looked at the policies at
WP:MOS and also looked at featured articles that were films.
I fixed up the lead section for The Naked Brothers Band: The Movie and am wondering your opinion on it.
Also, in the article their is repeats and don't know what should be repeated and what shouldn't be repeated.
I wanted to know if you could detect some of this, plus other MOS that you find.
Also, someone mentioned a problem with post-production because it explained an award that was received at a film festival.
The reason why I did that was because television executive
Albie Hecht saw the film there that day and brought it to Nickelodeon to develop into a series; meaning I had to add about the award there.
So I thought "Post-production" meant that everything that took place after filming, but an FAC evaluator complained that it doesn't belong their.
What do you think?
Thanx!

I appreciate your acknowledgement of my contributions to film articles and I am deeply flattered you think I would make a good coordinator. However, I have been contributing to Wikipedia for slightly less than a year and I'm not certain I'm ready at this time to accept what I view as a major undertaking and a large responsibility. If you still feel I'm qualified the next time elections are held, encourage me again and I may consider accepting the challenge.

I am going to follow that sentiment. I really appreciate the motion but I don't think I am prepared to be a coordinator.

Hey Erik, you should really be putting Fight Club up at WP:TFA/R at some point soon (tomorrow is the earliest you can nominate it) just to be sure that no-one nominates another film article between now and Fight Club's ten-year anniversary.

For future ref, to file a 3RR you need the first version reverted to, then 2 reverts, a 3RR warning, an attempt to discuss the revert on the talkpage, the third revert (4th edit) then the fourth revert. The fourth revert (fifth edit) is the point at which a report is filed, and you have to avoid making more than three edits yourself. Shimon Yanowitz never got to the fifth edit, so could not have a 3RR report filed, however his edits were disruptive anyway. Darrenhusted (talk) 14:48, 7 August 2009 (UTC) Ok so to understand what you are saying it takes 5 to violate the rule?Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:49, 7 August 2009 (UTC) Well, not to some admins, certainly not. But to take it to the noticeboard, the user has to have reverted again after their final warning for 3. So, sort of. It's 5 if they're adding the content (since the addition isn't a revert), 4 if they're trying to revert someone else's addition. --King ÖÖmie III 14:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC) Ok never knew that one, thanks for letting me know. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC) It's sort of a counting/fencepost kind of thing. --King ÖÖmie III 00:11, 9 August 2009 (UTC) One note -- you can warn about imminent 3RR violations before the 3rd revert, so that might slightly affect the timing here. Still, the 4th revert is required for there to be a violation. It doesn't have to be the fourth revert of the same information, just the same page, and consecutive reverts are generally counted as a single one (iow, if someone undoes 6 edits, someone else edits, and then they undo that one as well, that's two reverts, not seven). --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC) |

No problem! I've added one more cat. I don't know much about the plot about this film so more specific cats probably can't be added now. Also, since I haven't seen it, imdb says it's an english-language film but why would it then be pushed for a "Foreign Language" film award at the Oscars? I'm not an expert on Oscar info, so I left that cat out for now. Without the plot, I can't add too many more specifics about genre or theme cats for this film. Good job with the article though! :) Andrzejbanas ( talk) 15:44, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Your comments on the District 9 article were interesting and I would encourage you to try and find a review or academic paper that reiterates the points you were trying to make so that you could reinclude them in the article because despite your points being clever they will not survive without citations to back them up.

I understand completely why you would prefer prose over a list of awards. Do you think, though, there may be a benefit to having a list in a high profile article, especially one that may have won a number of awards? I know this film hasn't won many awars (yet, at least), but I'm thinking of articles such as Juno where, to me personally, the list seems easier to read and easier to absorb that amount of information. I'm not disagreeing with the conversion of my list to prose (actually, I think it looks pretty good the way you wrote it) but I just wanted to get your thoughts on whether some information (such as a list) wouldn't be better served in a raw format, not much unlike an infobox.

Hi Erik,
You asked me some time back about joining the Films Project. I'm of two minds. I am an old-time IMDb researcher. So that's compatible.
But I'm currently between jobs, so I work on WP just to relax and contribute to something productive. It's probably wise right now for me to resist the temptation to take on more side projects.
So, I'm not without interest, but I should probably direct my focus elsewhere.

I have updated all of the respective pages based on the results. Since you will be serving as lead again, I figured I let you greet all the new coordinators. We definitely should make the T&A drive the first priority, and even if we don't get it started at the first of the month, we should try and aim for the first week. That way I can still just mention it in the newsletter instead of having to send a message to all members twice. We should also be doing a roll call soon since when I did the election notices, I left notes on ~20-30 talk pages that only consisted of our monthly newsletter and disputed FUR messages. If those editors are no longer active on Wikipedia, it would be good to update the list so it would help to reduce the delivery time for messages.

If there is, we'll need to restructure the drive and the assessment requirements for a new class (as well as format the banner, cats, etc. and remove the A/Future classes).

Hi Erik, it's Hunter Kahn. I don't know if you remember me, but you provided some very helpful information during my old FAC nomination for the Tender Mercies film entry. If you'll recall, the issues back then were a lack of a comprehensive "Themes" section and scholarly sources. I think your those issues are now resolved, in no small part thanks to your feedback. I would have nominated it again long ago, but I got bogged down with some real-life matters, as well as the fact that it took me a particularly long time to track down one particular journal article I wanted. That being said, I think Tender Mercies is ready now and I've once again nominated it for FAC. If you can spare the time, I'm very much hoping you'll weigh in on the new FAC page.

I was on a break and so missed the discussion and subsequent CfD. After reading the discussions, my preference is still for Category:Western (genre) films, followed by your suggestion of Category:Films in the Western genre. I understand the reasons for renaming the category, but my preference lies with a title that removes any ambiguity regarding the meaning of "Western". For me, the phrase "Western (cultural object/topic)" almost always evokes the meaning of "Western world", so "Western films" translates to "films produced in the Western world" much like "Western values" translates to "values prevalent in the Western world".

Erik, we still haven't heard anyone object on the substance of my proposal to the Plot graph change. I'm sure we can both see how obvious it is that I'm proposing an improvement.
This reminds me of the time there was a little dispute over at No Country for Old Men. I had some different ideas from another editor. We hashed it out for a while without agreeing and then I did my best to include his concerns in an edit that I did. So we sort of listened to each other and took each other's good faith into account. It's not a good idea to leave yourself open to charges of bad faith, especially when you likely have the intelligence to accept a reasonable improvement.

I would appreciate it if you or someone from the American cinema task force would determine whether the {{rewrite}} is justified and to remove the tag if it is not. -- Dan Dassow ( talk) 13:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Please stop removing the British parts from the lede. Avatar is referred to as American-British because one of the production companies is British, and nationaility for films derives from the nationality of the production companies. The British release dates are relevant because WP:FilmRelease states that the date of teh first public showing should be included, along with the release dates of the production countries. Please restore the British release dates and the nationality otherwise I will have choice but to report you for edit-warring. Please take your concerns to the discussion page where these issues have already being discussed and settled upon. Betty Logan ( talk) 14:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
you removed "Themes and inspirations: Deleted content backed by unreliable source -- any *.blogspot.com citation is immediately dismissed)" . How about it is supported by other Wikipedia articles to which it had direct links?????? If some pothead adds a blogspot citation - completely unrelated to the stuff I wrote BTW, but you don't read Russian do you - so *remove* *THAT* *citation*, DON'T remove the text with well established easily verified veracity. Just DON'T!!! *****GOSH!***** WillNess ( talk) 19:33, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
How did you go from good guy to bad guy and I got the crappy post and represented as a vandal? Wildhartlivie ( talk) 19:15, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Just want to call your attention to some cleanup of The Hurt Locker's award section. I've outlined what I'm thinking about doing on the talk page here, and would appreciate your thoughts and comments! There's been some contentious editing on this article in the past, and I'd like to avoid that here if at all possible.
Also, what do you think about my comment on trying to get a more consistent awards format for films? Worth talking about it at WP:FILM? Thanks! Ravensfire ( talk) 20:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I can't see that you were notified so I thought I'd let you know and apologize for this getting to this point. Are you aware that Betty Logan filed a WP:AN/I report where you are mentioned? It's at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Please can I have some advice. I'm sorry I stepped in. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 01:15, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
