Dear MichaelQSchmidt, I am robin klein. I came to your userpage through the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Coordinatorspage. I am working on thoroughly rewriting and hugely expanding the page children's film/ Family film which are largely neglected for years. I have already written much of the text with references to film theorists and film studies sources. The problem is that most film theorist combine children's films and family films into one topic. The ideal thing to do therefore would be to have a single page ' Children's and Family film' where both the currently existing stub Children's film and the stub (which is just a list of films as of now) Family filmcould be redirected. Could you please help in merging the pages Children's films and Family films to the page ' Children's and Family films' along with the articles that are linked to the present pages. There is a lot of text now on what I have worked and is in several pages. The material discusses both Children's and Family film. As I said the ideal would be to have a single page Children's and Family film with both the current pages and all the pages linked to them redirected to the page Children's and Family films. I hope I am not burdening you with much work. If so then should I myself go ahead with this merger? please do tell me. Or else maybe you could ask some one else to help me with this. I am only asking you because I found your name mentioned as a coordinator on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Coordinators page. thanks Robin klein ( talk) 05:21, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear MichaelQSchmidt, Where do you advise me to put up the text for now so that you could see it. Should I put it up on the talk page of either of the current articles (Children's film or Family film) or on either of the articles themselves or on my talk page? Please do tell me. thanks Robin klein ( talk) 11:48, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear MichaelQSchmidt, I have put up the text for 'Children's and Family film' at the user sub page / sandbox User:Robin klein/sandbox/Children's film or Family film. Now I am adding hyperlinks to the text. Please do go through the whole text and modify, add or delete as needed. Please do help me with a thorough copy edit. It was exhausting writing. Thanks for your help. Cheers!! Robin klein ( talk) 06:02, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear MichaelQSchmidt, Are you done with the copy edit at User:Robin klein/sandbox/Children's film or Family film ? Would you please merge the pages children's film and Family film to Children's and Family film or shall I go ahead and do it. thanks for your help. Robin klein( talk) 03:44, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
I observe some edits/reverts happening in film articles like
Ustad Hotel,
Spirit (2012 film) etc. in the critical reception section. some users put in as bulleted lists/separate lines to improve readability while one user reverts it citing
WP:FILM guidelines. I personally feel a separated sentences/bulleted sentences improve the readability. I like to know your views on this and if you agree to my view, can you suggest a change in
WP:FILM guidelines for this section ?!

Hey Michael. I was wondering if you would take a look at Vanilla Gorilla. I have been trying to find sources for it and it looks like it was supposed to be released in 2009. However, I cannot find anything official, just database links, and it looks like Pierce Brosnan was attached to it through the Rotten Tomatoes link, but I don't see it on his official website. Looks a bit hoaxy, but just hoping you could follow up with it. BOVINEBOY 2008 15:17, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
I respectfully request your help in removing libelous, defamatory and malicious personal attack on the Richard Machowicz page. There are several flat out lies posted on the page about content from his radio show with no viable sources and references. They personal libelous attacks that in the fourth largest media market Houston, Texas, would have resulted in his immediate termination and a firestorm of national media coverage as he is an international media personality.

Can you take a sec and check out Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dreamstime. I may be wrong but it seems like an over-zealous reaction to the novice missteps of a new editor. The article as it stands can compare to thousands of Company articles. I am strongly against Paid Editors and what they do but I don't believe that is the case here. Thanks for your time. ``` Buster Seven Talk 15:40, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

An article that I am working on was recently marked for possible deletion. The editor recommended that I contact you for help. I revised and improved the article according to the editor's notes, but I would appreciate your opinion and your assistance to make sure that I am on track. Here is a link to the page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Parable_(film) I will continue to work on improving it and adding citations until I hear from you. Thank you for your consideration. TheWriteGuy2 ( talk) 22:42, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Hiya Schmidt! I moved the article to the mainspace and you did a great job! The tone issue seems to be gone. I'm still a little leery of some of the sources remaining on the article, since they seem to be of the non-notable blog type. There's other sources that show notability (NPR, etc), but I'm always a little skittish around blogs as sources since they're always one of the most easily attacked sources on any given article.

Hi Michael,
Could you please take a look at the editing behavior of Novaseminary on the Douglas Tait (stuntman) article? A review of the article's history reveals this person has engaged in WP:TE and edit warring for months/years there and has also attempted to delete the article twice. Failing that, this person has also tried to diminish the article by concocting weak and tenuous-at-best disambiguation links [6]. This person's latest effort is insistence on the inclusion of material unearthed from the adult subject's long since passed high school sports career, that clearly violates WP:UNDUE and has no relevance whatsoever to the issue of the subject's notability. This same editor has also removed dozens of links establishing legitimate notability using every available Wikipedia rule as cover, and now does the same in reverse to insist on the inclusion of this irrelevant and unflattering material, all while still fighting against the inclusion of any other material that would provide balance, proportion or even context. Since you have looked at this article before, I request that you do so again. I believe you'll discover that what this editor has been allowed to do to that article, almost singlehandedly and for so long, is a disgraceful abuse of Wikipedia by someone pushing a clear and unmistakable vendetta. I realize Wikipedia considers this to be a very serious charge. But an objective review would find it impossible to arrive at any other reasonable conclusion.

Thanks for uploading
File:Flight of the Butterflies poster.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:12, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
What do you think about this one? I have just restored it on request at WP:REFUND from a PROD deletion over five years ago, and am wondering whether I should AfD it.

Hi Michael, I'm working on WikiProject Merge's backlog of pages to be merged after AfD, and I've come across Ron Burgundy. Since you were the first to suggest merging in the article's AfD, I wanted to ask you what material you think should be merged into Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy#Plot. It seems to me coverage of Burgundy is sufficient at that page. I'm inclined to think Burgundy's article should simply redirect, without any actual merging. If you disagree, please let me know what information you think should be salvaged. A reply here will be fine; I'll watch here for a week. Thanks, BDD( talk) 23:56, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
This is regarding the Afd of Thulasi Nair. The article didn't had any refs when it was nominated for Afd as well as when you voted. After that, I added three references from Times of India, a national newspaper. I believe the references establish notability of the subject. The closing admin didn't considered this and the article has been deleted due to majority at AfD. Here are the three refs: [8], [9], [10]. If you think these refs establish notability, please leave a note at this discussion at the closing admin's talk page.-- Anbu121 ( talk me) 09:26, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey Schmidt, I'm just giving you a heads up that I'm nominating an incubated article about a film AfD that you participated in. I figured I'd try to find sources, but there's really nothing out there that isn't non-primary and as such, nominated it to clear out the incubator.

Hi, Vince Orlando survived this AfD in 2009, partly on your recommendation and good intentions. At that time there were articles on his films, but they have all been deleted as non-notable.

Michael, what do you think about creating an oceanography-related article on the Mechanics of drifting boats and ocean circulation? I don't know what topic/category this article encompasses, and I'm not quite sure what the title of the article should be, but I feel like there can be an article on drifting boats and how the ocean currents play a role in the movement of stranded/drifting/wrecked boats and how search teams find the survivors on the boats. There are already articles on Ocean current, Flotsam and jetsam, Air-sea rescue, Shipwreck, and Marine debris, but they don't focus on this aspect of the drifting mechanics/survival. There's no article yet on actual drifting boats or the general behaviors/movements of drifting boats, and how search teams search for them using oceanography or by studying ocean currents.
Should this just be added in section(s) to the existing articles, or should a new article be created? Maybe there can be an article on Stranded vessels at sea and these topics can be in that article? I have no idea what the title should be. Sorry, if this is confusing, but what suggestions do you have about creating an article like this? Thanks - M0rphzone( talk) 23:34, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey Schmidt! Happy turkey day! I'm sorry to have to write here for something other than to wish you a good day, but I wonder if you can help me a little. I'm in a somewhat heated debate on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/12 Peers Theater (2nd nomination) and while I know that you're more film than theater, you are pretty savvy when it comes to reliable sources. It's getting to the point where both of us are getting a little curt, so I'm going to try to walk away now because I'm moving from blunt to sort of rude because I'm getting frustrated. The big thing is that the article for 12 Peers Theater lacks a depth of coverage. There are reviews about productions held in the theater, but I'm a little leery about sourcing the article only with reviews of the productions held in the theater because not every production held in a theater is always done by the theater's workers. There are no sources about the theater itself, just a few reviews about the theater. There are plenty of primary sources, most of which I removed from the article at one point and other than one or two offhand mentions about the theater taking part in a local festival (nothing more than just listing their name with 4-5 others or giving a performance time, nothing in-depth), nobody has covered the theater at all other than Pittsburgh Magazine and a website that also sells tickets to theater performances. (So it's dubious as to whether it'd be considered a RS.) The editor I'm debating with has mentioned other small theaters that were spared through AfD, but I've explained that the big difference is that the article he's mentioned had coverage from multiple sources where 12 Peers Theater only had coverage from one and that one source is almost always not enough to establish notability and a depth of coverage except in very rare circumstances. He's replied that I'm "splitting hairs" and that he doesn't see the difference between one source and three sources. I'm trying really hard to be neutral while typing this, but I'll admit that I'm frustrated. I just think that it was far too soon for it to be transferred out of his userspace. Can you go mediate? If I'm wrong, that's fine, but I honestly think that we need more than a couple of reviews from one magazine to show notability for a recently opened (2011) local Pittsburgh theater.

Hello Michael, I have started Requiem pour un beau sans-coeur, a 1992 French Canadian film, I am looking for a (reliable) source that links the lead character (Reggie Savoie) to Richard Blass, who I have heard it was based on. I can't get to a lot of the links (firewalls not paywalls), could you have a look? I checked the CBC, but couldn't find anything. If you wouldn't mind having a peek I would appreciate it.

Hello, I saw that you participated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lorry Girl (an Afd about an unreleased film). I userfied ( User:Sonisoni/Lorry Girl) it so the creator to add references post-release. A user has asked me if it could be moved to mainspace yet ( User_talk:Mark_Arsten#Lorry_Girl), and I was wondering if you could comment on whether you think it meets WP:NF at this point? (You know the guideline better than I do). Thanks, Mark Arsten ( talk) 17:01, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

I thought that you deserved something a bit extra for all of the amazing work you've done for the project.
I've nominated you for a gift from the Wikimedia Foundation! |
Do you think this is worth saving? It was tagged for speedy deletion as a hoax because it had been vandalised (more than three years ago!) I took it back to the last good version, from March 2009, and looked at IMDb to see if his career had progressed, but it seems not - I can't find any trace of "The Bond 2", Cheers Butt Productions doesn't seem to have done anything since 2006 and their website says "The company at this present time is not creating any films", and though the top four entries here are about him, the first one is a deadlink and the others don't show any significant or recent activity. It doesn't look WP:NACTOR standard to me. Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 21:21, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Schmidt, this is regarding This afd, in which you suggested an incubation. Respect that choice, but now more refs and other substantial stuff have been added in. [13]Looking at the current state of this article, this should at the very least pass WP:GNG, should it fail WP:NFF (though I do feel it should just pass that).

Hi Schmidt! I've got a favor to ask: as a way of compromise on the AfD for Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D, I tried creating a page for the film's director. (Freaking love that title!) I'm just not convinced that he passes notability guidelines. Can you give an honest opinion or maybe work your Schmidt magic in finding sources? I tried, but wasn't really able to find much. A few mentions, but nothing that pushes him to where I'm comfy. In any case, I wanted a second opinion because sometimes I'm a little too picky when it comes to sources and notability. It's at User:Tokyogirl79/James Riffel. Thanks!

I cannot recall when I have heard such a gentle, persuasive, and quite frankly charming argument in any AfD discussion! These things are generally quite nasty, and your words were statesman-like, in an arena where mudslinging is often the norm. Although your argument did not sway me (ok- it SWAYED me, but not enough) I wanted to let you know that your intellectual and delightful statement was like a fresh breeze to me. Be well. :) -- Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 22:14, 13 December 2012 (UTC) |

Hi Schmidt! I had a question for you: I was trying to rescue the article Pulse Pounders from the PROD and while I found some sources, they're all for one specific short for the film. I don't know if that's really enough to keep it based on that alone. I did find one more review for the short after questioning the original PRODer about where to redirect to, but again I have to question whether or not we should keep the article when only one part of the film received coverage. Part of me says yes, part says no. That's part of the question, but the other is that if we do redirect this, where should we redirect to? The part of the film that was retrieved was the short of The Evil Clergyman. Should it redirect to that article for the meantime or should it redirect to the director? Or should it redirect to the company that produced it since his films for that company are on a separate entry? I figured I'd drop you a line and ask your opinion.

Hi Michael. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! I've been busy contributing to IMDb this year, and managed to make the top contributors list for the year (#92, with 20,018 edits accepted). I got a free subscription to IMDbPro out of the deal, though I'm not sure what I can do with that... Thank you for the help in getting started over there. I find that that's really where I belonged-- cheerfully digging up and sharing non-notable facts on non-notable films with people who share an interest in the subject.

Dear MichaelQSchmidt, I am robin klein. I came to your userpage through the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Coordinatorspage. I am working on thoroughly rewriting and hugely expanding the page children's film/ Family film which are largely neglected for years. I have already written much of the text with references to film theorists and film studies sources. The problem is that most film theorist combine children's films and family films into one topic. The ideal thing to do therefore would be to have a single page ' Children's and Family film' where both the currently existing stub Children's film and the stub (which is just a list of films as of now) Family filmcould be redirected. Could you please help in merging the pages Children's films and Family films to the page ' Children's and Family films' along with the articles that are linked to the present pages. There is a lot of text now on what I have worked and is in several pages. The material discusses both Children's and Family film. As I said the ideal would be to have a single page Children's and Family film with both the current pages and all the pages linked to them redirected to the page Children's and Family films. I hope I am not burdening you with much work. If so then should I myself go ahead with this merger? please do tell me. Or else maybe you could ask some one else to help me with this. I am only asking you because I found your name mentioned as a coordinator on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Coordinators page. thanks Robin klein ( talk) 05:21, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear MichaelQSchmidt, Where do you advise me to put up the text for now so that you could see it. Should I put it up on the talk page of either of the current articles (Children's film or Family film) or on either of the articles themselves or on my talk page? Please do tell me. thanks Robin klein ( talk) 11:48, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear MichaelQSchmidt, I have put up the text for 'Children's and Family film' at the user sub page / sandbox User:Robin klein/sandbox/Children's film or Family film. Now I am adding hyperlinks to the text. Please do go through the whole text and modify, add or delete as needed. Please do help me with a thorough copy edit. It was exhausting writing. Thanks for your help. Cheers!! Robin klein ( talk) 06:02, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
Dear MichaelQSchmidt, Are you done with the copy edit at User:Robin klein/sandbox/Children's film or Family film ?

I observe some edits/reverts happening in film articles like
Ustad Hotel,
Spirit (2012 film) etc. in the critical reception section. some users put in as bulleted lists/separate lines to improve readability while one user reverts it citing

Dead Mr. Schmidt
An article that I am working on was recently marked for possible deletion. The editor recommended that I contact you for help. I revised and improved the article according to the editor's notes, but I would appreciate your opinion and your assistance to make sure that I am on track. Here is a link to the page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Parable_(film) I will continue to work on improving it and adding citations until I hear from you. Thank you for your consideration. TheWriteGuy2 ( talk) 22:42, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Hiya Schmidt! I moved the article to the mainspace and you did a great job! The tone issue seems to be gone. I'm still a little leery of some of the sources remaining on the article, since they seem to be of the non-notable blog type. There's other sources that show notability (NPR, etc), but I'm always a little skittish around blogs as sources since they're always one of the most easily attacked sources on any given article.

If you have a moment, I'd be interested in receiving input from you regarding a recent ANI I created, to receive your perspective regarding the matter I presented therein. Please note that I have absolutely no interest in re-opening the thread, just seeking an opinion from an uninvolved person/admin.

Hi Michael, I wanted to get your opinion on whether this BLP articleshould be deleted or not. There is a decently-long deletion discussion in progress on the reliability of the coverage, whether the articles about the subject are promotional, and whether there is sufficient coverage to ensure he fulfills the WP:GNG. You are welcome to express your opinion at the deletion discussion here, but if you would rather not (given that I am participating in it), that's fine.

Hi Michael,
Could you please take a look at the editing behavior of Novaseminary on the Douglas Tait (stuntman) article? A review of the article's history reveals this person has engaged in WP:TE and edit warring for months/years there and has also attempted to delete the article twice. Failing that, this person has also tried to diminish the article by concocting weak and tenuous-at-best disambiguation links [6]. This person's latest effort is insistence on the inclusion of material unearthed from the adult subject's long since passed high school sports career, that clearly violates WP:UNDUE and has no relevance whatsoever to the issue of the subject's notability. This same editor has also removed dozens of links establishing legitimate notability using every available Wikipedia rule as cover, and now does the same in reverse to insist on the inclusion of this irrelevant and unflattering material, all while still fighting against the inclusion of any other material that would provide balance, proportion or even context. Since you have looked at this article before, I request that you do so again. I believe you'll discover that what this editor has been allowed to do to that article, almost singlehandedly and for so long, is a disgraceful abuse of Wikipedia by someone pushing a clear and unmistakable vendetta. I realize Wikipedia considers this to be a very serious charge. But an objective review would find it impossible to arrive at any other reasonable conclusion.

What do you think about this one? I have just restored it on request at WP:REFUND from a PROD deletion over five years ago, and am wondering whether I should AfD it. She certainly had a significant child role 15 years ago in The Demon Headmaster (TV series) but since then all I have found is this from which it seems she has been doing occasional student productions and shorts until this "Souljacker" which doesn't seem to be a major production.

Hi Michael, I'm working on WikiProject Merge's backlog of pages to be merged after AfD, and I've come across Ron Burgundy. Since you were the first to suggest merging in the article's AfD, I wanted to ask you what material you think should be merged into Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy#Plot. It seems to me coverage of Burgundy is sufficient at that page. I'm inclined to think Burgundy's article should simply redirect, without any actual merging. If you disagree, please let me know what information you think should be salvaged. A reply here will be fine; I'll watch here for a week. Thanks, BDD( talk) 23:56, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
This is regarding the Afd of Thulasi Nair. The article didn't had any refs when it was nominated for Afd as well as when you voted. After that, I added three references from Times of India, a national newspaper. I believe the references establish notability of the subject. The closing admin didn't considered this and the article has been deleted due to majority at AfD. Here are the three refs: [8], [9], [10]. If you think these refs establish notability, please leave a note at this discussion at the closing admin's talk page.-- Anbu121 ( talk me) 09:26, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey Schmidt, I'm just giving you a heads up that I'm nominating an incubated article about a film AfD that you participated in. I figured I'd try to find sources, but there's really nothing out there that isn't non-primary and as such, nominated it to clear out the incubator.

Hi, Vince Orlando survived this AfD in 2009, partly on your recommendation and good intentions. At that time there were articles on his films, but they have all been deleted as non-notable. I've done a quick WP:BEFORE including a Google news archive search for "vince orlando" with film/movie, and came up with nothing. I think that the page now has to go, but wanted first to give you a reminder to improve it instead if you can. – Fayenatic L ondon 17:50, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Michael, what do you think about creating an oceanography-related article on the Mechanics of drifting boats and ocean circulation? I don't know what topic/category this article encompasses, and I'm not quite sure what the title of the article should be, but I feel like there can be an article on drifting boats and how the ocean currents play a role in the movement of stranded/drifting/wrecked boats and how search teams find the survivors on the boats. There are already articles on Ocean current, Flotsam and jetsam, Air-sea rescue, Shipwreck, and Marine debris, but they don't focus on this aspect of the drifting mechanics/survival. There's no article yet on actual drifting boats or the general behaviors/movements of drifting boats, and how search teams search for them using oceanography or by studying ocean currents.
Should this just be added in section(s) to the existing articles, or should a new article be created? Maybe there can be an article on Stranded vessels at sea and these topics can be in that article? I have no idea what the title should be. Sorry, if this is confusing, but what suggestions do you have about creating an article like this? Thanks - M0rphzone( talk) 23:34, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey Schmidt! Happy turkey day! I'm sorry to have to write here for something other than to wish you a good day, but I wonder if you can help me a little. I'm in a somewhat heated debate on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/12 Peers Theater (2nd nomination) and while I know that you're more film than theater, you are pretty savvy when it comes to reliable sources. It's getting to the point where both of us are getting a little curt, so I'm going to try to walk away now because I'm moving from blunt to sort of rude because I'm getting frustrated. The big thing is that the article for 12 Peers Theater lacks a depth of coverage. There are reviews about productions held in the theater, but I'm a little leery about sourcing the article only with reviews of the productions held in the theater because not every production held in a theater is always done by the theater's workers. There are no sources about the theater itself, just a few reviews about the theater. There are plenty of primary sources, most of which I removed from the article at one point and other than one or two offhand mentions about the theater taking part in a local festival (nothing more than just listing their name with 4-5 others or giving a performance time, nothing in-depth), nobody has covered the theater at all other than Pittsburgh Magazine and a website that also sells tickets to theater performances. (So it's dubious as to whether it'd be considered a RS.) The editor I'm debating with has mentioned other small theaters that were spared through AfD, but I've explained that the big difference is that the article he's mentioned had coverage from multiple sources where 12 Peers Theater only had coverage from one and that one source is almost always not enough to establish notability and a depth of coverage except in very rare circumstances. He's replied that I'm "splitting hairs" and that he doesn't see the difference between one source and three sources. I'm trying really hard to be neutral while typing this, but I'll admit that I'm frustrated. I just think that it was far too soon for it to be transferred out of his userspace. Can you go mediate? If I'm wrong, that's fine, but I honestly think that we need more than a couple of reviews from one magazine to show notability for a recently opened (2011) local Pittsburgh theater.

Do you think this is worth saving? It was tagged for speedy deletion as a hoax because it had been vandalised (more than three years ago!) I took it back to the last good version, from March 2009, and looked at IMDb to see if his career had progressed, but it seems not - I can't find any trace of "The Bond 2", Cheers Butt Productions doesn't seem to have done anything since 2006 and their website says "The company at this present time is not creating any films", and though the top four entries here are about him, the first one is a deadlink and the others don't show any significant or recent activity.

Hi Schmidt!

(Freaking love that title!) I'm just not convinced that he passes notability guidelines. Can you give an honest opinion or maybe work your Schmidt magic in finding sources? I tried, but wasn't really able to find much. A few mentions, but nothing that pushes him to where I'm comfy. In any case, I wanted a second opinion because sometimes I'm a little too picky when it comes to sources and notability. It's at User:Tokyogirl79/James Riffel. Thanks!

Hi Schmidt! I had a question for you: I was trying to rescue the article Pulse Pounders from the PROD and while I found some sources, they're all for one specific short for the film. I don't know if that's really enough to keep it based on that alone. I did find one more review for the short after questioning the original PRODer about where to redirect to, but again I have to question whether or not we should keep the article when only one part of the film received coverage. Part of me says yes, part says no. That's part of the question, but the other is that if we do redirect this, where should we redirect to? The part of the film that was retrieved was the short of The Evil Clergyman. Should it redirect to that article for the meantime or should it redirect to the director? Or should it redirect to the company that produced it since his films for that company are on a separate entry? I figured I'd drop you a line and ask your opinion.

for your Christmas message. All the best to you (and yours too if applicable). I'm on limited access at the moment for assorted reasons. If the water where I am goes on rising, it'll be even more limited. Anyone got Noah's mobile number? Peridon ( talk) 20:05, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi Michael. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! I've been busy contributing to IMDb this year, and managed to make the top contributors list for the year (#92, with 20,018 edits accepted). I got a free subscription to IMDbPro out of the deal, though I'm not sure what I can do with that... Thank you for the help in getting started over there. I find that that's really where I belonged-- cheerfully digging up and sharing non-notable facts on non-notable films with people who share an interest in the subject. Best regards, and hope you are doing well. Dekkappai ( talk) 21:31, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
