I came across John Brancato and Michael Ferris earlier. I've given it a touch up n removed a couple of links that were little more than spam, but I'm struggling to find solid information for it. There's good material there, and I've referenced most of it but it seems to be having something of an identity crisis! I was tempted to move it to "List of films by...", but it seems to be an (albeit half- arsed) attempt at at a biography, so I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. If you'd take a look... Cheers, HJ Mitchell ( talk) 18:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Cw makes good sense. When I have time later this evening (you'll probably be asleep), I'll take a crack and creating a new bio for man 2 and trimming and renaming for man 1 using the sources you and CW provided. Each lede might be like "Man 1 is an Amerccan screenwriter besy known for his partnership with man 2" and "Man 2 is an American screenwriter best known for his work with Man 1" Or something in the vein.

Hi, you seem to be the resident expert on article rescue, so I wonder what you make of Argentina–Pakistan relations. There seems to be a movement nominating such articles for deletion based on whether or not the nominator knows of any relationship! Anyway, this one seems perfectly notable to me, I've given it something of an overhaul, which, I hope, should scrape it through AfD, though any tips you could lend me on polishing it up would be greatly appreciated!

I think it's best left as an essay. You could just do the same as User:Uncle G (his essays rock!) by spreading the link as oft as you reasonably can. I'm not a proponent of overcomplicating guidelines. A few well-explained mentions of the essay in deletion debates should make it clear that current rules accept these sources without the need for exceptions or expansions. I'm afraid I can't lend a hand. I need to finish GA reviews first. - Mgm| (talk) 11:35, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Go live! It looks good to me. You definitely do fine work! If I over did any of the attributions assigning perspectives and opinion to the movie unnecessarily, feel free to revert or modify. I know it's an article about the movie, and not the disease, so maybe it's obvious and I overdid it, but I'm cautious about including statements presented as fact that aren't attributed as such, and I think the disease itself is best covered in its own article. I have no idea if there is much controversy, but still. I definitely agree with the statements, but I still think they were assertive in nature. Moviemakers are not scientists. And scientists are not moviemakers. Speaking of which, what do you brewing in the lab? Some exciting projects I hope. Maybe Doc will write us a script. He's making big bucks this summer, so funding one of our projects should be no trouble for him. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 21:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I was more concerned for the COI of the author... but went through and did some major cleanup of the advert and added multiple reliable sources that show the fellow actually does have coverage that meets the WP:GNG. I then removed the prod, moved it to the proper namespace, and advised him on his talk page of concerns with COI. It still needs work, but as long as the author does not try to puff himself up, it is probably okay to let it stay and be further improved. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Following up on my comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alcides Moreno (2nd nomination). As you know, I respect your content creation, your diligence in sourcing references, and your devotion to a body of knowledge. However, I really wish you wouldn't be so condescending to people with whom you disagree as you were at the above-mentioned AfD. It's not just a question of WP:AGF (although it's that too), but also about assuming that the opinions of others are automatically wrong if they disagree with you.

Hi, Michael. Since you were the only other user besides myself and Collectonian who commented in the discussion regarding the merge of the Kim Greylek article, I thought I'd let you know I've initiated a RFC on the matter since Collectonian has still not provided evidence of consensus in the matter and continues to revert all attempts to restore the article.

I came to Wikipedia today feeling overwhelmed and like I didn't know what I was doing, and instead of one of my pages being deleted (as it probably deserved to be based on the lack of referencing), it had been made beautiful. Moreso, the way you did the references is amazing, and I'm going to use this page as an example for all of my other edits.

Hi, Michael,
I just made a comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robin Arcuri that was partly addressed to you. I don't think, unless you can see sources that I can't, that that one's rescuable, but how would you like to have a go at David Blatherwick ( AfD discussion)? I know you are good at cinema but can you deal with the other visual arts? I would try to add some sources myself but I really can't face looking at any more reviews of art exhibitions after spending all my free time for the last couple of days fixing up Sergei Isupov.

Sorry, I don't know all of the rules and ways of Wiki yet, but it is such a great feeling to contribute to something like this, and I can hardly wait to edit more articles, and contribute and create. Thanks for all of your help Micheal, and I hope you get the chance to read my message over on the other discussion. Take Care, and I really want to learn how to become a good Wiki contributor and do everything properly, but it will take a little bit of time.
Your advice is great, and I will be looking at your other message more closely after I get some sleep about adding references, and not listing blogs, and things like that.

No problem at all :), It's a shame how often that happens (in this case it was something to do with two pages being created and one of them being nommed, or something), but often it's after a page move, so it's good to have another someone (i.e. you ;D) who is more active in AfD knowing how to add that to the templates :).

Hiya! I'm glad to hear you put some legwork into that article. Now, I'm a bit unsure of the necessity of withdrawing the nomination. Honestly, if it's all that fixed up, then the motion will fail anyway, and if it's not sufficiently fixed up, then it needs to be removed anyway. I'm not saying that it does, mind you. Rather, I'm just saying it won't hurt to just let things float onward. If it's worth being kept, it'll be kept. I am however willing to look at it again and possibly double back to the AfD nomination and voice that I've personally changed my mind. That might help steer consensus a bit. I hope you understand where I'm coming from here. Basically, I think it may as well go ahead through the process since it's been submitted, but if my opinion's changed (I haven't looked just yet), I'll be glad to change my input as to what I think the outcome should be. - - Vianello ( Talk) 03:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slag best enemies seem to misunderstand the way that speedy deletion works on WIkipedia. I was surprised at them since you ordinarily have a good understanding of policy. Each criterion is an independent reason for deletion and an article should be deleted if it fails any of the criteria that apply to its namespace. These are the G, general criteria which apply in all namespaces, and whichever namespace specific one applies, A in the case of articles. Thus articles which are attack pages, vandalism, blatant copyvios, etc., can be speedy deleted without regard to the applicability of any of the A categoris of speedy deletion.

Thanks for notifying me of changes to the article. ive withdrawn my delete nomination. unfortunately as a relatively new editor with not a lot of experience in weighing notability on independent film makers, i dont feel qualified to make a recommendation, the information in the article now is in a gray area for me, and any decision i would make would possibly be more colored by emotional bias than facts, (i could go either way, but i dont think it would be a rational decision on my part. either: "yay, go indy filmmaker!" or "gee, its not star wars" totally unfair to filmmaker for me to mostly use my emotions.) but i acknowledged the references. i dont know what all that other talk is about, but i hope the article is treated fairly by those who do make recommendations. good luck. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 19:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
You tagging an article "inuse" while another editor is making an edit does not give you carte blanche to revert those edits, as you did here [6]. Also, tagging the article as "inuse" when another editor is actively editing but you yourself had NOT edited for two hours was really rude. You saw that I had started to edit, then immediately jumped on the article causing edit conflicts for me, then claimed it was inuse. Again, that was just rude. If you want to improve the article further, fine, but please do not do so by inserting non- WP:RS "sources". There are more than enough reliable sources to use for this film without such additions and adding non-RS sources does nothing but leave unnecessary work behind for other editors who will have to remove them before the article can achieve any higher class than Start. Please respect that other editors do have valid opinions, are allowed to edit, that other editors actively editing generally precludes you shoving an inuse tag on an article, and that I do have an idea of what is and is not an RS source. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 01:26, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you take a look at this? I added one ref to the Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema, the movie is one of 1450 Indian movies featured in it (up to movies released in 1994). I think that's a credible enough claim, given that India produces over a 1000 movies per year. I'm not too familiar with Rajasthani movies (unlike Tamil or other south Indian movies) and this was the only thing my search returned; Pablomismo, in an earlier movie discussion, suggested that you're a good source for movie rescues, perhaps you can find some additional sources for this one? -SpacemanSpiff Calvin‡ Hobbes 17:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Don't think this pertains directly the AfD, so responding here; reg your note on Thai Thangai Paasam AfD, I actually do read/write/speak Tamil (my native language) which is why I was actually comfortable nominating the articles, since what I found in Tamil weren't exactly refs either (similar to the English refs, but news archives don't go back as long and gbooks doesn't exactly exist. However, I lived in Tamil Nadu when three of the four movies were released, so I'm quite familiar with the reception to the movies (WP:OR) which leads me to the conclusion about sources though. That said, the director of the movies is clearly notable, he acts in all his movies, makes a lot of them, and is generally in your face, although most of his ventures tend to be flops - he has a reputation of being a notable flop - many flop movies, a flop magazine venture, a flop political party etc. cheers -SpacemanSpiff Calvin‡ Hobbes 04:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Did NFA have another name, i found some old sources, said Matallana found "National Fibromyalgia Action Campaign" was it an old name.

Cw makes good sense. When I have time later this evening (you'll probably be asleep), I'll take a crack and creating a new bio for man 2 and trimming and renaming for man 1 using the sources you and CW provided. Each lede might be like "Man 1 is an Amerccan screenwriter besy known for his partnership with man 2" and "Man 2 is an American screenwriter best known for his work with Man 1" Or something in the vein.

Hi, you seem to be the resident expert on article rescue, so I wonder what you make of Argentina–Pakistan relations. There seems to be a movement nominating such articles for deletion based on whether or not the nominator knows of any relationship! Anyway, this one seems perfectly notable to me, I've given it something of an overhaul, which, I hope, should scrape it through AfD, though any tips you could lend me on polishing it up would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not a proponent of overcomplicating guidelines.

Go live! It looks good to me. You definitely do fine work! If I over did any of the attributions assigning perspectives and opinion to the movie unnecessarily, feel free to revert or modify. I know it's an article about the movie, and not the disease, so maybe it's obvious and I overdid it, but I'm cautious about including statements presented as fact that aren't attributed as such, and I think the disease itself is best covered in its own article. I have no idea if there is much controversy, but still. I definitely agree with the statements, but I still think they were assertive in nature. Moviemakers are not scientists. And scientists are not moviemakers. Speaking of which, what do you brewing in the lab? Some exciting projects I hope. Maybe Doc will write us a script. He's making big bucks this summer, so funding one of our projects should be no trouble for him. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 21:07, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I was more concerned for the COI of the author... but went through and did some major cleanup of the advert and added multiple reliable sources that show the fellow actually does have coverage that meets the WP:GNG. I then removed the prod, moved it to the proper namespace, and advised him on his talk page of concerns with COI. It still needs work, but as long as the author does not try to puff himself up, it is probably okay to let it stay and be further improved. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Hiya! I'm glad to hear you put some legwork into that article. Now, I'm a bit unsure of the necessity of withdrawing the nomination. Honestly, if it's all that fixed up, then the motion will fail anyway, and if it's not sufficiently fixed up, then it needs to be removed anyway. I'm not saying that it does, mind you. Rather, I'm just saying it won't hurt to just let things float onward. If it's worth being kept, it'll be kept. I am however willing to look at it again and possibly double back to the AfD nomination and voice that I've personally changed my mind. That might help steer consensus a bit. I hope you understand where I'm coming from here. Basically, I think it may as well go ahead through the process since it's been submitted, but if my opinion's changed (I haven't looked just yet), I'll be glad to change my input as to what I think the outcome should be. - - Vianello ( Talk) 03:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slag best enemies seem to misunderstand the way that speedy deletion works on WIkipedia. I was surprised at them since you ordinarily have a good understanding of policy. Each criterion is an independent reason for deletion and an article should be deleted if it fails any of the criteria that apply to its namespace. These are the G, general criteria which apply in all namespaces, and whichever namespace specific one applies, A in the case of articles. Thus articles which are attack pages, vandalism, blatant copyvios, etc., can be speedy deleted without regard to the applicability of any of the A categoris of speedy deletion.

Thanks for notifying me of changes to the article. ive withdrawn my delete nomination. unfortunately as a relatively new editor with not a lot of experience in weighing notability on independent film makers, i dont feel qualified to make a recommendation, the information in the article now is in a gray area for me, and any decision i would make would possibly be more colored by emotional bias than facts, (i could go either way, but i dont think it would be a rational decision on my part. either: "yay, go indy filmmaker!" or "gee, its not star wars" totally unfair to filmmaker for me to mostly use my emotions.) but i acknowledged the references. i dont know what all that other talk is about, but i hope the article is treated fairly by those who do make recommendations. good luck. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 19:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
You tagging an article "inuse" while another editor is making an edit does not give you carte blanche to revert those edits, as you did here [6]. Also, tagging the article as "inuse" when another editor is actively editing but you yourself had NOT edited for two hours was really rude. You saw that I had started to edit, then immediately jumped on the article causing edit conflicts for me, then claimed it was inuse. Again, that was just rude. If you want to improve the article further, fine, but please do not do so by inserting non- WP:RS "sources". There are more than enough reliable sources to use for this film without such additions and adding non-RS sources does nothing but leave unnecessary work behind for other editors who will have to remove them before the article can achieve any higher class than Start. Please respect that other editors do have valid opinions, are allowed to edit, that other editors actively editing generally precludes you shoving an inuse tag on an article, and that I do have an idea of what is and is not an RS source. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 01:26, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you take a look at this? I added one ref to the Encyclopaedia of Indian Cinema, the movie is one of 1450 Indian movies featured in it (up to movies released in 1994). I think that's a credible enough claim, given that India produces over a 1000 movies per year. I'm not too familiar with Rajasthani movies (unlike Tamil or other south Indian movies) and this was the only thing my search returned; Pablomismo, in an earlier movie discussion, suggested that you're a good source for movie rescues, perhaps you can find some additional sources for this one? -SpacemanSpiff Calvin‡ Hobbes 17:00, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Don't think this pertains directly the AfD, so responding here; reg your note on Thai Thangai Paasam AfD, I actually do read/write/speak Tamil (my native language) which is why I was actually comfortable nominating the articles, since what I found in Tamil weren't exactly refs either (similar to the English refs, but news archives don't go back as long and gbooks doesn't exactly exist. However, I lived in Tamil Nadu when three of the four movies were released, so I'm quite familiar with the reception to the movies (WP:OR) which leads me to the conclusion about sources though. That said, the director of the movies is clearly notable, he acts in all his movies, makes a lot of them, and is generally in your face, although most of his ventures tend to be flops - he has a reputation of being a notable flop - many flop movies, a flop magazine venture, a flop political party etc. cheers -SpacemanSpiff Calvin‡ Hobbes 04:43, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Did NFA have another name, i found some old sources, said Matallana found "National Fibromyalgia Action Campaign" was it an old name.
