Hi ManKnowsInfinity,
Thanks for the work on this article. I removed one of your edits because the material is covered elsewhere in the article. Please let me know if you want to discuss further, either here or on the article talkpage. Thanks, Majoreditor ( talk) 02:20, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Henry IV, Part 1 into
Falstaff. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication.

There have been repeated false positive attributions erroneously placed here several times, most recently for edits at Ingmar Bergman and sibling pages. I have left 3 clear statements that the page split was taking place here [4], and here [5], and here [6], though a false positive message is erroneously stating that I have left no indication of the page split. I have been involved in the editing of several arts-related biography articles such as Alfred Hitchcock (now brought to GA-level), Francis Bacon, Pablo Picasso, and now Ingmar Bergman which require page splits as part of conventional Wikipedia upgrades to articles going through incremental improvements. In all cases the page splits which were done are clearly identified, though false positive bot notification appears to miss this and generate falsely attributed messages for these valid page splits following all requirements set in Wikipedia policy for copying within Wikipedia. The bot or bot-like notifications I have been receiving appear to be caused by bots that do not properly check both sides of a move or page split which always have an "origin article" from which the material is taken and a "destination article" to which the material is placed following recognized Wikipedia policy for splitting articles by copying within Wikipedia. The bot or botlike activity which results in these false positive attributions should be corrected to include checks of both the origin articles for moves and the destination articles for moves before issuing error messages. Currently only one or the other is checked which leads to false positive attributions. In this case, I have marked the Ingmar Bergman article 3 times here [7], and here [8], and here [9], but the notice above states I have provided 0 (zero) notification. The bot or bot-like notifications should be updated by someone with experience in this aspect of Wikipedia operations which is currently leaving erroneous false positive messages as done above.

Just because The Guardian has written a review that includes an explanation of a portion of the plot doesn't mean we should automatically include it. The film has not been released worldwide yet and it's in my understanding we should avoid disseminating spoilers until it's officially released. Please refrain from making similar edits in the future. Renamerguy ( talk) 20:20, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Regarding the phrase you added back multiple times, maybe you should stop reverting it to the version that says "misinform". I am aware that Wikipedia is not censored, but changing the word as to the neutral verb like "tells", "says" does not contradict the review, nor does it censor the Wikipedia in any way. We are not hiding the spoilers. We are spoiling the plot anyway, as it becomes clear in the subsequent section that David is caught lying, so there's no need to do it twice. A good plot section not only summarizes the story. A well written one can retain the key details while letting the story unfolds follwing the movie's narrative tone. If we can do both while using the neutral word, why don't we? The movie narrates the scene that way. And there's WP:Neutral to follow. Also, kindly consider WP:CYCLE. Your edit has been reverted back to neutral form of verb many times, by a lot of people, and it's probably the time to consider if there's something wrong with it. It will not do for anyone to retain only the version you added while achieving no specific purpose in any guidelines. Multiple reverts is making this comfortable to work with. Please reconsider before your multiple reverts. Anthonydraco ( talk) 15:43, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
P.S. If you find the need to include the mentioned review in the article, there should be some other sections you can add the criticism or the explanation on. That way, we get to keep the useful details and keep the plot neutral. Anthonydraco ( talk) 15:48, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
The importance of air superiority I don't dispute. However, when you lead with Mitchell, IMO, you undermine the relevance to Midway. Indeed, what you describe seems better placed on fighter aircraft or an air superiority page, where the impact of Midway can be discussed. If the battle did, indeed, redefine the matter, a single line (suitably cited), rather than a history of the theory of airpower, is all that's warranted--& that belongs at the end of the "impact" section, not the 2d graph.

Nice work. The article has been a structural nightmare since it began, glad to see you are addressing. Ceoil ( talk) 14:31, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Until it ceases to be a detailed plot, leave the template in-place. It's not productive. See the article's talk page for one example of how the plot is too detailed. Walter Görlitz ( talk) 18:44, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
Hello ManKnowsInfinity. Regarding this report. I formatted the header of your 3RR report, but it would be helpful to admins if you would supply clickable diffs, so we can examine the actual text that was changed, to see if it was a revert. Did you use Twinkle to generate the diffs? If so maybe you could try one more time so your report contains diffs that are properly bracketed. There are complete instructions at Wikipedia talk:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring/Archive 3#can't you make this simpler?. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 00:12, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
You've been warned per the WP:AN3 report for edit warring and adding unsourced information to a WP:BLP article. If you make further edits of the article that don't have a prior consensus on the talk page you are risking a block. Thanks, EdJohnston ( talk) 15:52, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
I reverted your edits on the Egon Schiele article because I noticed much of the text you added was copy-pasted from another website. If you feel this is unjust, take up the issue at the Egon Schiele Talk page. Thanks. Coldcreation ( talk) 14:54, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Alfred Hitchcock you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Drown Soda -- Drown Soda ( talk) 21:00, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
I've looked through the Alfred Hitchcock article and made some changes. Most are minor, but I did overhaul the citations so that all of the books cited are done so in a Harvard format (only some were originally), as per WP:FACR 2c. Some GA articles are pretty much ready for FAC the moment they are promoted, others are not. This one falls into the latter category. Before putting it through FAC, I'd make these changes:

I eventually got round to asking for someone to step-up on this one rather than randomly picking off the list. See who throws their hat into the ring. Keith D ( talk) 22:52, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
Hi, please give precise page numbers as requested. Not only can I not find this in Wood (2015), he seems to say exactly the opposite, so the material cannot stay in the article as written, if it isn't in the source. Unless it's well-sourced, it's a BLP violation, because it arguably leaves a bad impression both of Hedren and of the author. Therefore, please either remove it or supply page numbers so that I can verify it and fix the writing. SarahSV (talk) 20:18, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
I see you haven't edited in a few days, but I'm writing to bring your attention to the policy at Wikipedia:Clean start. There is nothing wrong with discontinuing use of an old account and starting a new one for legitimate reasons, but you'll note that a key aspect of this policy is that you avoid revisiting disputes and behavior that caused you problems in the past. You are current not in compliance with this part of the policy since you are getting into disputes with the same editors. I sincerely hope you can edit peacefully here, but I'm advising you that if you continue along your current vector at Hitchcock, I will be compelled to identify your previous account(s) as part of dispute resolution and to prevent further disruption. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- Laser brain (talk) 16:46, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
