Why would that section on American History X talk not be archived for over 6 years? Niteshift36 ( talk) 20:32, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Erik. You might remember that you kindly got in touch last year when I was running the first iteration of a course on approaches to research for second year undergraduate students in Film Studies at Queen Mary, University of London. Over the course of 6 weeks, students in small groups adopt, evaluate and edit an existing Wikipedia page on a single film topic. I was wondering if you still might be interested in being an online ambassador for the course this year? You can find out more on the Course page here. In terms of time commitment, I hope it wouldn't take up too much. About 20 students are working on their small group Wikipedia project (in groups of about four students each) for around six weeks, and the course began at a gentle pace on 10 January 2014. If you'd like to know more, feel free to send me a message - or if you would like to sign up, that would be wonderful! Thanks very much for your time, best wishes, -- DrJennyCee ( talk) 15:55, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello Erik. I hope that you had a nice holiday season and that your journey into 2014 is going well. I don't know if you are aware but AllRovi has gone back to being Allmovie. I started a thread about moving the page here Talk:AllRovi#Possible page move. Based on this edit I think it is time to proceed with the move. Normally I would go ahead and move it but I am pretty sure that it has been moved at least once before and I have not dealt with double redirects or any other pitfalls of dealing with a situation like this. I also went to the WP:RPM page but as I read through it I couldn't decide if this move had any business being there. When you get a chance could you please take a look and give me an idea how we might proceed. Thanks for your time and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 02:06, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Haha. By focus on content, you mean raise this about me on someone else's talkpage? Well done. And for the record, I have "behave(d) politely, calmly and reasonably" in this and every case. Now remind me who's been edit-waring on No Other Woman (1933 film)? Does that deserve to be ignored blindly over AGF? The correct answer is no, BTW.

Hey Erik, it's been a long time. I was thinking about making a major push for FA-status on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in time for its 40th anniversary in October. Any advice? Regards, -- Tærkast ( Discuss) 15:05, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
I saw that you were a primary contributor to this article, and thought I'd inform that the film has been mislabelled as American for quite some time. I've changed it significantly to reflect the fact that it is actually a British film. Feel free to look over my changes. Also, what's up? Corvoe (speak to me) 17:16, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Are people like Lugnut and Clarityfiend and Ron Sinden the best the project has to offer these days? Have the really good editors been driven off because nobody stops these assholes from running rampant and stifling any creativity and improvements. Jsut what the fuck is going on there?

Erik, hello. My apologies for bothering you, but I just started to contribute on Wikipedia in general, and today stumbled on the WikiProject Film. I joined, because I tend to focus on the film pages, but if you don't mind, could use some direction on how to get started, or where help is needed. Thanks in advance. (btw, noticed on your user page that you wrote the article for Fight Club - coincidently, I went to school with Jim Uhls, and still remain friendly with him)

@ Erik: Hi Erik... it's me again. I just attempted to edit the article Bed and Sofa. I pulled it off the Category:Film articles needing attention to supporting materials list. I saw it was a "start" level article, and I've attempted to upgrade it. Could you please take a look at it and let me know what you think. Under the criteria, I think I fulfilled the requirements to get it up to at least level B. Thanks. Onel5969 ( talk) 18:41, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

I've been working on an article for the 2011 film The FP, directed by Brandon Trost (who you helped me with prior) and Jason Trost. I'm probably going to use several of the sources you sent to me, but if you have anything else (or even better, just want to help me write the article), that'd be fantastic. If not, totally fine, but I figured I'd extend the invitation. Thanks! Also, I saw Captain Phillips, and it was fantastic. Pleasantly surprised, because I agreed that it seemed like it'd be hard to make a movie out of a plot that seemed advertised, but they did it. Barkhad Abdi is a name to look out for, I'm telling you. Corvoe (speak to me) 18:03, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Erik. You mentioned at a WP:FILM discussion that you, too, might feel the Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film isn't notable. Would you mind popping at at Talk:Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film? Another editor who's been harassing me at WP:CSC, who wants every single award and nomination by anybody to be in all lists, is now following me around to individual articles, not wanting to me to question the notability of any of these award mills. You and I might disagree on certain specifics, but I respect your overall view and abilities as an editor and hope you might bring your reasoned view here. With thanks, -- Tenebrae ( talk) 22:20, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
I made the nomination for the FP, just waiting on a review now. Also, I made an article for Destin Daniel Cretton (director of Short Term 12 yesterday. Tell me if I get annoying telling you everything I'm doing, by the way. Corvoe (speak to me) 18:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I also just realized I failed to acknowledge your comment about getting Cretton's filmography to sort and put the "yes" items at the top. I'm not sure what you mean. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

I want to offer my deepest apologies if I am coming of rude and/or brusque. I have had a longer day editing here then I can remember in quite some time and too much of it has been dealing with problem editors. While I think that there are other places on the web for something like this do not doubt that if, consensus is to keep the list I will help if I can in keeping it up to snuff. You set such a high standard around here and I hope that you know that I really respect that fact. Cheers and enjoy the rest of your weekend. MarnetteD | Talk 05:56, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

As one of the previous contributors to {{ Infobox film}} or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!
I don't know if WP:Film still does the news thing but it might be worth mentioning that the first ever Oscar winner Wings (1927 film) and Ben-Hur (1959 film) passed GA in the same week which I think is a considerable achievement.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:34, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

I haven't talked to you in awhile, man. How've you been? I'm hoping good. Just saw Lone Survivor today, and I thought it was an absolute masterpiece. Have you managed to watch it yet?
Apologies for this message being kinda scatter brained, I've been awake for 22 hours as of now.
Keeping in tone with that, I've done a shit tonne of updating to The FP and I think it's really coming along. I finally got the DVD from my library, so I'm going to be adding more production information and a plot summary in the next few days. I'm excited! Corvoe (speak to me) 22:49, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
User:Valoem/List of auteurs could you take a look at this? I think it has FA potential after extreme clean up. Valoem talk contrib 03:19, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
@ Valoem: Sorry I have not responded to this! It looks like an interesting list to have. My first thought is, what criteria is being used to add a director? For example, I see that David Fincher is listed based on a review of Panic Room. I think we need a more authoritative source than this. It may be ideal to limit references to film studies publications or career retrospectives that state that a director is seen as an auteur, rather than one film critic declaring this to be the case. Also, have you considered making a wikitable? You could have sortable columns like their name, the country of birth, birth year, death year where applicable, and a "Notes" column where applicable (such as an auteur becoming famous in another country than the one of origin). Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 16:27, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
How is Interstellar not an American film? Proud brit? Freak. That makes no sense. Are you trying to blow Christopher Nolan. You must be sick of fanboying Wally Pfister's Transcendence. Dumbass — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.200.136.197 ( talk • contribs) 12:07, May 9, 2014
I have a quick question. I'm involved in a disagreement with a user who has been very intent on keeping the 2010 image of Leonardo DiCaprio from the Berlin Film Festival, which is seen in this revision, rather than a January 2014 image of him that I uploaded, seen in this revision. The editor's argument led with Shutter Island being "more representative of DiCaprio's work (he's not a comedy actor)" which I don't think is necessary for an image, but I could be wrong. Is there any guideline or anything I can point him to, or am I in the wrong? Corvoe (speak to me) 12:12, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
You are far and away the most active editor at Wanted (2008 film) so I am calling your attention to Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Wanted (2008 film)/1.- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:45, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Erik. Wow, that was quick. You promptly discarded my edit, and I see your point. :) Now, especially in the context of Indian cinema, the songwriter plays a critical role in the success or failure of a film. Since the template is currently skewed towards Hollywood films, it does not currently allow for the name of lyricist on the infobox template. I'd like to make the request to make room for this on the template. Would you be able to help with this, or help me make that request in the right place? Thanks, appreciate your time. ~pictowrit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pictowrit ( talk • contribs) 21:07, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Good work with White savior narrative in film. I just watched The Principal and I was interested in the theme. Low-and-behold, you made an article on it yesterday :) Keegan ( talk) 01:16, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
This is very pedantic but I'm just curious for my own knowledge. Is 'embarks' definitely correct in the context of the Interstellar synopsis? I would have used embarks in the singular: "A lone man embarks on a journey..." And embark for the collective: "A team of scientists embark on a journey..." Phonetically, 'embarks' just jars with me a little. I could be completely wrong. Just curious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kierancremin ( talk • contribs) 18:59, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your change to Heat, calling it a crime film. An ip will probably change it back to action in 10 minutes though, with no edit summary and no talk page discussion. OnBeyondZebrax ( talk) 20:55, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I didn't say that the page was nonsense. It's just that there's no article there, and we already have an article on the subject. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 19:39, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Glad to see you put it on the talk page, I was actually headed there to do it myself. I'm sincerely hoping a new parameter comes out of this. It'd be useful. Corvoe (speak to me) 18:18, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. Now if you will please fix it on the thousands of other films on Wikipedia using the wrong style. Udar55 ( talk) 18:54, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello Erik. I hope that you are well and thriving on wiki and off. I am getting ready to watch a twin bill of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and The Grand Budapest Hotel this weekend. I know we have Category:Films set in hotels but we don't have a "List of films set in hotels." So I thought I would mention it as you are so skilled at creating these lists. I am, in no way, insisting on your doing this, a) I know how busy you are editing all manner of articles and b) it might not strike your fancy. I did have a fun thought about on list article like this. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we could give the hotels a "star" rating. Marigold might be a one star with hopes of improvement and Budpest could be a two or three star. OTOH the Bates Motel might be a negative two. HeeHee. I know this idea has no place on WikiP - I have often wished that there was a WikiFiction or WikiFun for this kind of thing. Cheers and have a great weekend. MarnetteD| Talk 17:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I think we're damn close to getting this thing to GA. Am I being naive, or do you agree? Corvoe (speak to me) 16:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Corvoe, regarding actor/actress, here are some interesting articles I found about the matter: 1, 2, 3. Obviously, a full transition has not been made, but I think sources indicate that "actor" can be applied to both men and women. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 18:55, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
...might be one of the funniest things I've ever read, and I can't even pinpoint why. Thank you for a good laugh at work. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:49, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

@ Valoem: Sorry I have not responded to this! It looks like an interesting list to have. My first thought is, what criteria is being used to add a director? For example, I see that David Fincher is listed based on a review of Panic Room. I think we need a more authoritative source than this. It may be ideal to limit references to film studies publications or career retrospectives that state that a director is seen as an auteur, rather than one film critic declaring this to be the case. Also, have you considered making a wikitable? You could have sortable columns like their name, the country of birth, birth year, death year where applicable, and a "Notes" column where applicable (such as an auteur becoming famous in another country than the one of origin).

How is Interstellar not an American film? Proud brit? Freak. That makes no sense. Are you trying to blow Christopher Nolan. You must be sick of fanboying Wally Pfister's Transcendence. Dumbass — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.200.136.197 ( talk • contribs) 12:07, May 9, 2014
I have a quick question. I'm involved in a disagreement with a user who has been very intent on keeping the 2010 image of Leonardo DiCaprio from the Berlin Film Festival, which is seen in this revision, rather than a January 2014 image of him that I uploaded, seen in this revision. The editor's argument led with Shutter Island being "more representative of DiCaprio's work (he's not a comedy actor)" which I don't think is necessary for an image, but I could be wrong. Is there any guideline or anything I can point him to, or am I in the wrong? Corvoe (speak to me) 12:12, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
You are far and away the most active editor at Wanted (2008 film) so I am calling your attention to Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Wanted (2008 film)/1.- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 17:45, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Erik. Wow, that was quick. You promptly discarded my edit, and I see your point. :) Now, especially in the context of Indian cinema, the songwriter plays a critical role in the success or failure of a film. Since the template is currently skewed towards Hollywood films, it does not currently allow for the name of lyricist on the infobox template. I'd like to make the request to make room for this on the template. Would you be able to help with this, or help me make that request in the right place? Thanks, appreciate your time. ~pictowrit — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pictowrit ( talk • contribs) 21:07, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
Hey Erik, thanks again. :) I'll try make my case. Appreciate your help. Thanks. Pictowrit ( talk) 21:13, 12 May 2014 (UTC)pictowrit

Good work with White savior narrative in film. I just watched The Principal and I was interested in the theme. Low-and-behold, you made an article on it yesterday :) Keegan ( talk) 01:16, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
This is very pedantic but I'm just curious for my own knowledge. Is 'embarks' definitely correct in the context of the Interstellar synopsis? I would have used embarks in the singular: "A lone man embarks on a journey..." And embark for the collective: "A team of scientists embark on a journey..." Phonetically, 'embarks' just jars with me a little. I could be completely wrong. Just curious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kierancremin ( talk • contribs) 18:59, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your change to Heat, calling it a crime film. An ip will probably change it back to action in 10 minutes though, with no edit summary and no talk page discussion. OnBeyondZebrax ( talk) 20:55, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I didn't say that the page was nonsense. It's just that there's no article there, and we already have an article on the subject. — Malik Shabazz Talk/ Stalk 19:39, 30 May 2014 (UTC)
I actually started a discussion on the talk page of the article. JOJ Hutton 16:07, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
About edit reverts, but as you see other side don't argue anything, just removing it and calling everything as "garbage". -- Qizilbash123 ( talk) 01:54, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Glad to see you put it on the talk page, I was actually headed there to do it myself. I'm sincerely hoping a new parameter comes out of this. It'd be useful. Corvoe (speak to me) 18:18, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarification. Now if you will please fix it on the thousands of other films on Wikipedia using the wrong style. Udar55 ( talk) 18:54, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
Hello Erik. I hope that you are well and thriving on wiki and off. I am getting ready to watch a twin bill of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and The Grand Budapest Hotel this weekend. I know we have Category:Films set in hotels but we don't have a "List of films set in hotels." So I thought I would mention it as you are so skilled at creating these lists. I am, in no way, insisting on your doing this, a) I know how busy you are editing all manner of articles and b) it might not strike your fancy. I did have a fun thought about on list article like this. Wouldn't it be a hoot if we could give the hotels a "star" rating. Marigold might be a one star with hopes of improvement and Budpest could be a two or three star. OTOH the Bates Motel might be a negative two. HeeHee. I know this idea has no place on WikiP - I have often wished that there was a WikiFiction or WikiFun for this kind of thing. Cheers and have a great weekend. MarnetteD| Talk 17:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I think we're damn close to getting this thing to GA. Am I being naive, or do you agree? Corvoe (speak to me) 16:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Corvoe, regarding actor/actress, here are some interesting articles I found about the matter: 1, 2, 3. Obviously, a full transition has not been made, but I think sources indicate that "actor" can be applied to both men and women. Erik ( talk | contrib) ( ping me) 18:55, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
...might be one of the funniest things I've ever read, and I can't even pinpoint why. Thank you for a good laugh at work. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:49, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
Not sure if you noticed it, but I remember you saying you were going to review the article in its last FAC. Well, now's your chance, man! Corvoe (speak to me) 12:33, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
I remember awhile box you created a box for the cast but I can't remember what film it was. I just want to look at it as an example for possible similar boxes in an anthology article. Thanks.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 16:46, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
