Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
List of dystopian films, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the
edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been
reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your
sandbox for that. Thank you.

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to
The Fifth Element, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's
categorization guidelines. Categories must also be supported by the article's
verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Hello, and
welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly
reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at
List of dystopian films. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "
edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the
normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a
consensus on the
talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Category:1940s dystopian films requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please stop your
disruptive editing.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Escape from L.A., you may be blocked from editing. Not sure what part of what I said above isn't clear, but categories added to articles must be supported by sourced text within the article itself, not by pointing to a list article, which violates WP:CIRCULAR.

According to the Merriam-Webster definition, it's "an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives" (bolding mine). Nazi-occupied Europe was not imaginary, so The Moon Is Down doesn't qualify. Clarityfiend ( talk) 23:26, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
Please do not cite or add content from the IMDb. This is a user-generated database, much like Wikipedia itself. Reliable sources need to have a history of fact checking and correcting errors, editorial control, and be staffed by professionals. You can see a non-comprehensive list of sources considered reliable by WikiProject Film at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Resources. For American films, the AFI Catalog of Feature Films is often a good source to check first. NinjaRobotPirate ( talk) 04:06, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
