Wow, great!! That's not a bad picture either. Thanks! By the way, someone popped up today with a new picture of Joseph Gordon-Levitt that is quite decent, so you can strike him from your request list. Again, thanks! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 06:06, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Wonderful!! It's not all that bad a photo, and if the one we have in the infobox is deleted, then we can crop the new one to remove that chick and use it. Congratulations and thanks!!!! Wildhartlivie ( talk) 12:44, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
You have made a heluva lot work for me going through many of the Stooge entries and removing bits and pieces. The running times are exact and are listed for a reason. In addition, instead of simply removing photos whose rationale is not completed, simply drop me an email advising me of this and I will add the needed rationale. Thank you.

Sorry about this again, after Black Kite took away every image from the books of film criticism articles, now Eskog has done the same . Every single poster, every single screenshot. The result is a mass of verbiage, that looks unreadable to me. If you could look at one last article Going Steady, and see, what I was doing, and what it is now, and give one last opinion, I would be grateful. I used two screenshots, one of Mae Marsh in 'Intolerance' as well as a few posters, to make the page attractive as well as the text being related to the content of the article. If you say no., every image has to go, then I will not revert again, but I don't want to be part of the Film group any more, because it seems to me an encyclopedia should be striving to make itself , readable and attractive , a mix of words and images, and if the only people preventing this are other editors within the project, I prefer to act singly than with editors whose actions I fail to understand. ( I understand admins who know all the rules have to stick with them - its interpretation as well though, I guess, balance, I find the bulldozer tactics of editors like Eskog and black kite, no discussion, no moderate pruning, rude edit summaries etc..demoralising) Sayerslle ( talk) 13:15, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Wish you'd done the reversion before I found it and spent quite a long time trying to copyedit the "Plot" section. I had no idea what the "base" version was. It was such a mess that I couldn't believe this is a featured article. Anyhow, thanks. — Cheers, JackLee – talk– 18:06, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Not that I want to add more articles to our list but I thought nblschool completed the articles quickly and I reviewed some of them. This edit was missing the image tag and this one. I'm not even sure A King in New York should have been upgraded to Start class. Thanks -- Peppage tlk 21:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey, I've started a quick-and-dirty draft for a summation dispatch for the Signpost at Wikipedia:FCDW/GASweeps.

You might want to note in the newsletter that I was awarded the film barnstar for my work cleaning up Italian films.. Eastwood article is coming along slowly, but I had to condense it long before I had intended to.

Hi there! I noticed that you listed yourself as a GAN mentor. Could you please take a look at Talk:Topeka High School/GA1 and see if I did the review correctly? Benny the mascot ( talk) 03:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Re: this, every time someone posted it, I couldn't verify. It wasn't listed on IMDB yesterday, although it is there today. Also, regarding the photo credit, I've been looking at that and per WP:CAPTION#Credits, photo credits should only be on the image page and not in the article, which is why I removed it. Wildhartlivie ( talk) 20:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
I'm considering starting a multimedia department under WikiProject Films for greater guidance on images, audio samples, and video samples (but most especially the latter). A draft can be found at User:Erik/Multimedia department. I was wondering if you could write a little at length about how editors should approach Flickr? Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggestions about this department. I'm just fleshing it out a little before showing it at WT:FILM for community input. Erik ( talk) 20:20, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of that. Those are the calls I would have made. Took a lot of grief during the last few GA review I closed thus had been putting these ones off. I think it would be a good idea to have people review in pairs. Two reviewers can more easily deal with complaints from those who attempt to improve the article.

I think I will go to the Library of Congress tomorrow. I will photograph pages of references for Jaws if you like. I'll be putting together a list of references, but let me know if you want anything in particular. Erik ( talk) 21:04, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
I disagree that the article is easy to save. It would need an overhaul to be up to the standard of today's Featured Article, especially the recent two. I don't blame you for disliking the loss of older Featured Articles, but films like Jaws, Casablanca, and Sunset Boulevard really should have been more comprehensive and less reliant on Internet references. It's just not easy for most editors to do. When you used Google Scholar, did you encounter any limitations of page views? As for a video clip, I do not see anything in the article right now that would warrant one. Audio clip would definitely be a possibility, though I am not sure about the guidelines for sampling? I would not know what part of the Jaws theme to extract. :P Honestly, I need to see the movie again because it will help give me context for any contributions I may make. I'll email you with an update on the references. Would you consider a referencing setup like at American Beauty (film), with multi-paged publications separate from briefer publications?

Hi!
Question out of curiosity. This might be something that was already discussed in which case I must have missed it.
The current coordinator terms have begun on September 29, 2009 and, if I'm not wrong assuming that our term length is 6 months, will expire on March 29. Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Coordinators/Election 5 opened on September 1, 2009 and concluded on September 14 which is now already more than 6 months ago. What is the planned timeframe for the next election? Are we holding off until the drive is completed or is something in the works before then? Big Bird ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for all the work you've done on sweeps! When it's all said and done (which should be only a couple of days away now) could you do one last thing? Could you produce a statistic that showed the percentage of GAs that were kept and the percentage that were delisted? That will tell us the damage the sweeps project has done to the GA project. At the same time it will tell us GA sweepers if we've been to strict or too lenient (personally, I've kept approximately a 2/1 ratio.) Lampman ( talk) 00:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand the justification for this removal. The image was the U.S. DVD cover, which should be no less fair-use than the original German cover. I hadn't logged in for a while so the file was deleted before I could catch it, therefore I can't be sure whether the file had the appropriate fair use templates, but I seem to remember it did, and I thought the usual action would have been to tag the file rather than remove it. Is there a new policy about fair use DVD covers?-- TexasDex ★ 03:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nehrams2020,
There are 8 Wiki articles attracting a lot of poorly-bounded, duplicative effort. Only one of them right now falls under any Wiki task force -- your Filmmaking task force. As a result, I'm writing to you (not entirely sure of normal procedure here). Of course, this is not to ask you to take charge personally, but to urge you to delegate some responsibility as soon as you can, and ensure the lead coordinator is also reaching out to an appropriate IT-related Task force so that the topics can be merged in an appropriate way for your two (merging) fields.
All 8 of the pages are interesting, with a bunch of old-skool IT gurus providing history.
Your task force's article is this one:
The parallel articles are these:
There are plenty of other articles that overlap on this issue, and I would ask you to look at these as well to see what's going on:
It's one of those cases where authors should be looking beyond the page they've landed on or maintained, and come together in a way that will strengthen everybody's work and deepen everyone's insights. I don't know how the merger process is authorized, but this is a plea to get this thematic mess organized.
Thanks for your attention. A.k.a. ( talk) 17:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I have worked on Alex Tse and found this as a possible image to use for his article. I got in touch with her successfully, and she asked, "What would you need from me and what would happen with the picture?"

Erik ( talk) 11:20, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey Nehrams, how you doin'? Long time no talk.

In your opinion, would that image be one of those that you upload here? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I have a question if you're around. Do images need a fair use rationale or is the non-free media rationale enough? For example, some images have a "Fair use" summary and others just use the {{tl:Film cover fur}} summary. I've been using the FUR template. Is that all that's needed?

Starting to look better, your contributions are much appreciated!. By the end of next week I hope to have up to 1995 done, I'm afraid that's where the book end, the other one does too oh actually a few films after Madison County but nothing on 1999 - present of course. As you book is written in 2009 we'll have to rely on that for his films 1995-present! I'm up to Tightrope at the moment. Once I go through afterwards and even out the sources using my other book with a lot of copyediting and cutting I think eventually we could get an FA out of this but it may be a year before we get one. It needs a tremendous amount of work. The problem is the 1970s his career peak and cramming in information which is completely relevant. Other sources such as direct reviews of CLint's performances should also be added and replace some of the film reviews overall I've added from the book. Whenever you come to edit though check (I see you did this time) that no annoying ip has tampered with it and it not been fully caught by the recent changes patroller. The other night I had to restore a lot from a week or two ago which had been stupidly removed. I'll be monitoring the diffs everytime I log in just to check it hasn't been altered wrongly. It is going to need a lot of protection by us to deal with the ips it gets. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:44, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

This is to acknowledge and thank you for the many quality free images you have found and contributed to numerous articles, most recently Stanley Tucci. So many articles are richer as a result of your efforts. Rossrs ( talk) 14:25, 22 April 2010 (UTC) |
Um actually (many quality free images found) is not actually true. Nehrams went out of his way to request many images and went to great lengths to get them OTRS ticketed! I bet Nehrams really wishes they could have all been freely found!! SO I second this barnstar as I understand the great (and often highly frustrating) lengths you've gone too. I made an agreement with the Tibetan Himalayan library months ago who authorised me to use their images; I'm still waiting for OTRS approval. Nehrams I'm approaching The Unforgiven in my book. Only a chapter to read now. Once thats done I'll start on the Schneikel book and sort out the referencing. If you have time to sort out any of the bare ULR references in the article please do. I've done thre first half Refs 148-175 and some at the end need fixing/removing and replacing. In your book do you also get the impression that Eastwood is not really too disimilar to Dirty Harry in real life? Some of the things he did were just plain mean!! A real bad ass. Often petty/childish at times. I read that if somebody parked in his car parking space at Malpaso he would ram the car out of the way just so he could have his spot. If he were anybody other than Clint Eastwood he'd have had a lot of legal problems!! He'd never have made it as mayor of Carmel either if the illegitimate children and affais he had had of been public in 1986... And the funny thing is that he was said to be screwing his successor as mayor of Carmel too!! Basically you get the impression that anybody who got in his way or did something he disapproved of you'd be sidelined and never heard of again. How he could just drop friends and good people like he did because he wanted his own way was pretty cruel... But he is Clint Eastwood I guess, his characters of the Man with No Name and Dirty Harry were so believable I think because he really did have a lot of that toughness and intolerance in his nature in real life... Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I never knew he was a that much of a womanizer either until I read the book. You know what they say about the quiet ones.... I've begun looking at the Schickel book. In fact the films are easy to find looking at the index. I hope to beef up the sourcing to around 350-400 references by the time we've finished, even with condensing. Dr. Blofeld White cat 10:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
hmmm Dr. Blofeld, you're right. My careless use of the word "found" makes it sound like Nehrams was just minding his own business and stumbled upon a treasure trove of free images just ripe for the picking. I know that's not the case, and that Nehram's efforts have been more broad, so for the word "found", I'm happy to substitute "tracked down with tenacity, patience, inspiration, motivation and perspiration, and contributed to numerous articles...." Rossrs ( talk) 10:17, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Yeah I know! LOL. Nehrams I've made major changes to the Clint Eastwood article today. You'll notice in particular the major improvement in referencing. Once I finish the Schickel book and added other sources it should be perectly balanced, so if you can try not to remove any fiurther McGilligan sources unless there are too many in close proximity; I intend adding a similar amount of Schickel references. You can double source them though to make them look more believable... One thing though. I'm considering writing a image/style/popularity section but it is incredibly difficult to write in a way which avoids POV nad fan cruft. Could you help me write a decent referenced section in User:Dr. Blofeld/Launch Pad 2. I think a section which discusses his tough image, directing style and influence in popular culture is a very appropriate section but I find it difficult to approach. The content of 1992-present will gradually improve over the few weeks, your book of course would make a great addition to these section combined with what I have and can find on the web. Once fully written I mean making it as comprehensive as possible with as wide reading as possible, then it can be condensed, hoefully not losing too many sources but whittling it down to a finely tuned article. This of course will take months but I think the article is quickly getting into shape now.... Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Excellent. Actually I was not responsible for those McGilligan unmarked pages, somebody else did that when the section had an unreferenced BLP sign to remove it. Thanks for that. I think that best way actually is to continue to reference and fill it out evenly. Once that is done, then I think we should begin condensing it and splitting onto sub pages. But the "beefing" up working making it comprehensive as possible has to be done first and then whittled down afterwards. That's how I've always written articles anyway and it has always worked for me with FAs/GAs... Dr. Blofeld White cat 08:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nehrams,
I've recently sent Paramount Television Network to FAC. On the article's FAC, one experienced FAC reviewer has asked for the article to be copyedited by someone unfamiliar with the topic. My efforts in the past at getting editors to review the article have not been successful.
As a WP:Films editor with FA and GA experience, I think you are highly qualified to review, rework, and copyedit this article. I would appreciate your input, and am willing to reciprocate on an article of your choice. Please let me know if you are willing to work on, review, or take a look at this article. Firsfron of Ronchester 13:02, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Hey Nehrams, I just have a quick query about images. I know about copyright and all that, but what happens when a celebrity posts a picture of themselves on Twitter? Since it's just a random shot they took themselves, can we use it on Wikipedia? Thanks, Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 15:26, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Why has Erik retired? He was like the most straight laced editor on here!! At times he was almost too professional. What happened? I was about to offer to sell my Tyler Durden leather jacket to him which is too small for me and he said he loved it previously when I uploaded a picture. Certainly the last thing I expected was to see a retired tag. It is certainly a huge loss to WP:Films on here, even if I didn't always see eye to eye with him. Can you let me know what happened, either on here or my email? Not another identify crisis/RL threats again I hope. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
You may wish to return to Talk:Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and re-evaluate your position on the article. MichaelQSchmidt has sourced some information for the documentary and would like everyone to review the page again. My opinion remains the same, as everyone on that page is already on A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)#Documentary, with the exception of the IMDb cast list for everyone interviewed. You may feel otherwise, and it would be only right for anyone who has cast an opinion of the previous version of the page to review it and either alter their opinion or reaffirm their choice.

Hi there. Thank you for your assessment of this article and your very good advice. Myself and Papa November have made a few changes to the article in line with your suggestions and I feel the article is now B-class. I know you said we could change the class ourselves, but I feel a little uneasy about upgrading the class on an article I originally created and have made so many edits on.

Thanks a lot for the assessment of On Tour, that was exactly what I needed for the whole project of bringing Cannes film articles to C class. I have expanded the lead section and added slightly more to the plot. As you said, the film just premiered, so a more detailed plot summary will probably have to wait.

Hi Nehrams2020, as you might have surmised, I indeed am more busy for this time (probably up till mid-August) in which I am without most of my graphic tools. However, I believe I can still help you (though not as quick as I probably can before or after this period). Send the stuff over (via email or otherwise). However, I had a quick look at the article and saw that the images are lacking in sources or information that can vouch for their copyright, e.g. File:POWs celebrate.jpg is from Wikipedia and not from any National Archive site (or from a publication that states so); furthermore, not everything on the National Archives is PD (for instance, this photo could have been taken by a Filipino guerrilla instead).

I am surprised that Dr. Michael Julius King's Rangers: selected combat operations in World War II was not referenced for this article. It is a {{
PD-USGov-Military}}
and his maps seem to have been the base model for the ones you have supplied me. The one from p. 170 of Breuer's The Great Raid was a straight copy of King's; perhaps you can scan a larger cleaner version and replace the one I uploaded from King at Commons (
File:Cabanatuan Operations - Actions at the Objectives, January 1945.jpg)?
Anyway, I have completed the route map. How does it look? I omitted certain landmarks as they do not seem to have any part to play in the operations. The Osprey map is inaccurate in certain co-ordinates as well (e.g. Balincarin).
Now for the action map, would you prefer a rendition in 2D that is almost like King's (just in SVG), or would you prefer an isotropic isometric (fake 3D)?
In another dig around, I found this drawing (right) from a survivor of Cabanatuan and by failing to renew its copyright, it has fallen into the public domain; the drawing depicts a scene of life there at the camp. The image can illustrate a scene of camp life as remembered by one of its survivors.
And just for my indulgement, check this out. This is why I find sourcing to be important; Carl Mydans (Life photographer) was on hand to photo some of the aftermath. He has a similar photo of File:POWs celebrate.jpg, albeit taken at a slightly different time (likely standing next to the army photographer, or in the same spot shortly before or after). I added it to the article as an external link... unpublished images of the raid's aftermath. Jappalang ( talk) 23:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
From a quick look over the article, there is an absence of mention of any "good" aspects of Cabanatuan camp; the portrayal of the Japanese follows common perception, of them in an absolute dark light (cruel men who maltreat and decapitate POWs all the time). The Japanese committed terrible war crimes but that does not mean there were no exceptions). There is a first-hand account (by Donald Rutter) that talk of a Cabanatuan camp commander who was not of that bent (perhaps for a short time), different from his predecessors ( http://www.cnac.org/emilscott/rutter01.htm). I do not think it can be overlooked that Rutter is a primary source, and the project is strict about picking up words from such and using them. No doubt we should be looking for information from reliable secondary sources.
A search on Google books yields possible sources; of note: "We had complained among ourselves how rigorous life at Cabanatuan had been, but in comparison to our fellow inmates here we were in the pink of condition." from Prisoner of the Emperor by Stanley and Duane Smith. Much of the results, however, seem to be portraying the camp as a harsh place. Parkinson's Soldier Slaves, published by Naval Press Institute, talks of life at the camp (harsh, certainly backed by Steele above) and points out that the Japanese philosophy for them was containment, not extermination. John M. Wright's account of Cabanatuan in his Captured on Corregidor highlights certain luxuries the camphad in some periods. So all in all, it seems to me that the current article is not portraying the camp in true light (right now, it reads as if the camp was a straight out death camp since inception; perhaps in reality it was a "containment" camp, varying among "relative comfort", to harsh, to absolute tyranny from time to time). The article might not be portraying things in a balanced and unbiased view of the camp, especially since there is no separate article for the subject. Jappalang ( talk) 23:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, you can. Took me forever to figure it out with
Star Trek: First Contact, but put a thumbtime=n
parameter in the inline reference, for example in First Contact: [[File:S08-first contact borg queen assembled.ogv|thumbtime=14|220px|thumb|alt=]]
. n
is, of course, the number of seconds into the clip; I think the default is halfway in the duration, but either way you're best setting it at a custom one so that people don't necessarily have to load the entire thing. On the video you uploaded,
File:ATATStopAnimationLandscapeStarWars.ogv: you could prolly boost the quality and resolution if you trimmed out the letterbox elements. I haven't used DVDVideoSoft or Premiere, but it should be simple enough to export a final file that's cropped to a widescreen aspect ratio to cut out all that black (assuming that it was part of the DVD presentation.)

Just checking there quickly, I think there's 36 in that gallery, which is quite a lot of reviewing. There's a few I'd discount even on thumbnail size, but many others look OK, at least at that size.

I realize you don't know me from Adam so take my opinion for what it's worth, but when you're doing hundreds of edits to a page that consist of single sentences and sentence fragments, as on the image cleanup page, the constant repetition of "--Happy editing!" or any signature phrase becomes very grating and makes it extremely difficult to read your comments. I would be hard-pressed to believe that I'm the only editor who has this difficulty.

Sorry about this again, after Black Kite took away every image from the books of film criticism articles, now Eskog has done the same . Every single poster, every single screenshot. The result is a mass of verbiage, that looks unreadable to me. If you could look at one last article Going Steady, and see, what I was doing, and what it is now, and give one last opinion, I would be grateful. I used two screenshots, one of Mae Marsh in 'Intolerance' as well as a few posters, to make the page attractive as well as the text being related to the content of the article. If you say no., every image has to go, then I will not revert again, but I don't want to be part of the Film group any more, because it seems to me an encyclopedia should be striving to make itself , readable and attractive , a mix of words and images, and if the only people preventing this are other editors within the project, I prefer to act singly than with editors whose actions I fail to understand.

Thanks for taking care of that. Those are the calls I would have made. Took a lot of grief during the last few GA review I closed thus had been putting these ones off.

I think I will go to the Library of Congress tomorrow. I will photograph pages of references for Jaws if you like. I'll be putting together a list of references, but let me know if you want anything in particular. Erik ( talk) 21:04, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
I disagree that the article is easy to save. It would need an overhaul to be up to the standard of today's Featured Article, especially the recent two. I don't blame you for disliking the loss of older Featured Articles, but films like Jaws, Casablanca, and Sunset Boulevard really should have been more comprehensive and less reliant on Internet references. It's just not easy for most editors to do. When you used Google Scholar, did you encounter any limitations of page views? As for a video clip, I do not see anything in the article right now that would warrant one. Audio clip would definitely be a possibility, though I am not sure about the guidelines for sampling? I would not know what part of the Jaws theme to extract. :P Honestly, I need to see the movie again because it will help give me context for any contributions I may make. I'll email you with an update on the references. Would you consider a referencing setup like at American Beauty (film), with multi-paged publications separate from briefer publications?

Hi!
Question out of curiosity. This might be something that was already discussed in which case I must have missed it.
The current coordinator terms have begun on September 29, 2009 and, if I'm not wrong assuming that our term length is 6 months, will expire on March 29. Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Coordinators/Election 5 opened on September 1, 2009 and concluded on September 14 which is now already more than 6 months ago. What is the planned timeframe for the next election? Are we holding off until the drive is completed or is something in the works before then? Big Bird ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for all the work you've done on sweeps! When it's all said and done (which should be only a couple of days away now) could you do one last thing? Could you produce a statistic that showed the percentage of GAs that were kept and the percentage that were delisted? That will tell us the damage the sweeps project has done to the GA project. At the same time it will tell us GA sweepers if we've been to strict or too lenient (personally, I've kept approximately a 2/1 ratio.) Lampman ( talk) 00:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure I understand the justification for this removal. The image was the U.S. DVD cover, which should be no less fair-use than the original German cover. I hadn't logged in for a while so the file was deleted before I could catch it, therefore I can't be sure whether the file had the appropriate fair use templates, but I seem to remember it did, and I thought the usual action would have been to tag the file rather than remove it. Is there a new policy about fair use DVD covers?-- TexasDex ★ 03:28, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nehrams2020,
There are 8 Wiki articles attracting a lot of poorly-bounded, duplicative effort. Only one of them right now falls under any Wiki task force -- your Filmmaking task force. As a result, I'm writing to you (not entirely sure of normal procedure here). Of course, this is not to ask you to take charge personally, but to urge you to delegate some responsibility as soon as you can, and ensure the lead coordinator is also reaching out to an appropriate IT-related Task force so that the topics can be merged in an appropriate way for your two (merging) fields.
All 8 of the pages are interesting, with a bunch of old-skool IT gurus providing history.
Your task force's article is this one:
The parallel articles are these:
There are plenty of other articles that overlap on this issue, and I would ask you to look at these as well to see what's going on:
It's one of those cases where authors should be looking beyond the page they've landed on or maintained, and come together in a way that will strengthen everybody's work and deepen everyone's insights. I don't know how the merger process is authorized, but this is a plea to get this thematic mess organized.
Thanks for your attention. A.k.a. ( talk) 17:54, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I have worked on Alex Tse and found this as a possible image to use for his article.

I have a question if you're around. Do images need a fair use rationale or is the non-free media rationale enough? For example, some images have a "Fair use" summary and others just use the {{tl:Film cover fur}} summary. I've been using the FUR template. Is that all that's needed?

Starting to look better, your contributions are much appreciated!. By the end of next week I hope to have up to 1995 done, I'm afraid that's where the book end, the other one does too oh actually a few films after Madison County but nothing on 1999 - present of course. As you book is written in 2009 we'll have to rely on that for his films 1995-present! I'm up to Tightrope at the moment. Once I go through afterwards and even out the sources using my other book with a lot of copyediting and cutting I think eventually we could get an FA out of this but it may be a year before we get one. It needs a tremendous amount of work. The problem is the 1970s his career peak and cramming in information which is completely relevant. Other sources such as direct reviews of CLint's performances should also be added and replace some of the film reviews overall I've added from the book. Whenever you come to edit though check (I see you did this time) that no annoying ip has tampered with it and it not been fully caught by the recent changes patroller. The other night I had to restore a lot from a week or two ago which had been stupidly removed. I'll be monitoring the diffs everytime I log in just to check it hasn't been altered wrongly. It is going to need a lot of protection by us to deal with the ips it gets. Dr. Blofeld White cat 12:44, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

This is to acknowledge and thank you for the many quality free images you have found and contributed to numerous articles, most recently Stanley Tucci. So many articles are richer as a result of your efforts. Rossrs ( talk) 14:25, 22 April 2010 (UTC) |
Um actually (many quality free images found) is not actually true. Nehrams went out of his way to request many images and went to great lengths to get them OTRS ticketed! I bet Nehrams really wishes they could have all been freely found!! SO I second this barnstar as I understand the great (and often highly frustrating) lengths you've gone too. I made an agreement with the Tibetan Himalayan library months ago who authorised me to use their images; I'm still waiting for OTRS approval. Nehrams I'm approaching The Unforgiven in my book. Only a chapter to read now. Once thats done I'll start on the Schneikel book and sort out the referencing. If you have time to sort out any of the bare ULR references in the article please do. I've done thre first half Refs 148-175 and some at the end need fixing/removing and replacing. In your book do you also get the impression that Eastwood is not really too disimilar to Dirty Harry in real life? Some of the things he did were just plain mean!! A real bad ass. Often petty/childish at times. I read that if somebody parked in his car parking space at Malpaso he would ram the car out of the way just so he could have his spot. If he were anybody other than Clint Eastwood he'd have had a lot of legal problems!! He'd never have made it as mayor of Carmel either if the illegitimate children and affais he had had of been public in 1986... And the funny thing is that he was said to be screwing his successor as mayor of Carmel too!! Basically you get the impression that anybody who got in his way or did something he disapproved of you'd be sidelined and never heard of again. How he could just drop friends and good people like he did because he wanted his own way was pretty cruel... But he is Clint Eastwood I guess, his characters of the Man with No Name and Dirty Harry were so believable I think because he really did have a lot of that toughness and intolerance in his nature in real life... Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:58, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, I never knew he was a that much of a womanizer either until I read the book. You know what they say about the quiet ones.... I've begun looking at the Schickel book. In fact the films are easy to find looking at the index. I hope to beef up the sourcing to around 350-400 references by the time we've finished, even with condensing. Dr. Blofeld White cat 10:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
hmmm Dr. Blofeld, you're right. My careless use of the word "found" makes it sound like Nehrams was just minding his own business and stumbled upon a treasure trove of free images just ripe for the picking. I know that's not the case, and that Nehram's efforts have been more broad, so for the word "found", I'm happy to substitute "tracked down with tenacity, patience, inspiration, motivation and perspiration, and contributed to numerous articles...." Rossrs ( talk) 10:17, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Yeah I know! LOL. Nehrams I've made major changes to the Clint Eastwood article today. You'll notice in particular the major improvement in referencing. Once I finish the Schickel book and added other sources it should be perectly balanced, so if you can try not to remove any fiurther McGilligan sources unless there are too many in close proximity; I intend adding a similar amount of Schickel references. You can double source them though to make them look more believable... One thing though. I'm considering writing a image/style/popularity section but it is incredibly difficult to write in a way which avoids POV nad fan cruft. Could you help me write a decent referenced section in User:Dr. Blofeld/Launch Pad 2. I think a section which discusses his tough image, directing style and influence in popular culture is a very appropriate section but I find it difficult to approach. The content of 1992-present will gradually improve over the few weeks, your book of course would make a great addition to these section combined with what I have and can find on the web. Once fully written I mean making it as comprehensive as possible with as wide reading as possible, then it can be condensed, hoefully not losing too many sources but whittling it down to a finely tuned article. This of course will take months but I think the article is quickly getting into shape now.... Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:41, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Excellent. Actually I was not responsible for those McGilligan unmarked pages, somebody else did that when the section had an unreferenced BLP sign to remove it. Thanks for that. I think that best way actually is to continue to reference and fill it out evenly. Once that is done, then I think we should begin condensing it and splitting onto sub pages. But the "beefing" up working making it comprehensive as possible has to be done first and then whittled down afterwards. That's how I've always written articles anyway and it has always worked for me with FAs/GAs... Dr. Blofeld White cat 08:46, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nehrams,
I've recently sent Paramount Television Network to FAC. On the article's FAC, one experienced FAC reviewer has asked for the article to be copyedited by someone unfamiliar with the topic. My efforts in the past at getting editors to review the article have not been successful.
As a WP:Films editor with FA and GA experience, I think you are highly qualified to review, rework, and copyedit this article. I would appreciate your input, and am willing to reciprocate on an article of your choice. Please let me know if you are willing to work on, review, or take a look at this article.

Hey Nehrams, I just have a quick query about images. I know about copyright and all that, but what happens when a celebrity posts a picture of themselves on Twitter?

Why has Erik retired? He was like the most straight laced editor on here!! At times he was almost too professional. What happened? I was about to offer to sell my Tyler Durden leather jacket to him which is too small for me and he said he loved it previously when I uploaded a picture. Certainly the last thing I expected was to see a retired tag. It is certainly a huge loss to WP:Films on here, even if I didn't always see eye to eye with him. Can you let me know what happened, either on here or my email? Not another identify crisis/RL threats again I hope. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:12, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
You may wish to return to Talk:Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy and re-evaluate your position on the article. MichaelQSchmidt has sourced some information for the documentary and would like everyone to review the page again. My opinion remains the same, as everyone on that page is already on A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)#Documentary, with the exception of the IMDb cast list for everyone interviewed. You may feel otherwise, and it would be only right for anyone who has cast an opinion of the previous version of the page to review it and either alter their opinion or reaffirm their choice.

Hi Nehrams2020, as you might have surmised, I indeed am more busy for this time (probably up till mid-August) in which I am without most of my graphic tools. However, I believe I can still help you (though not as quick as I probably can before or after this period). Send the stuff over (via email or otherwise). However, I had a quick look at the article and saw that the images are lacking in sources or information that can vouch for their copyright, e.g. File:POWs celebrate.jpg is from Wikipedia and not from any National Archive site (or from a publication that states so); furthermore, not everything on the National Archives is PD (for instance, this photo could have been taken by a Filipino guerrilla instead).

Check out these montages! Can you update the infobox film then with those Indian film parameters? As for Clint Eastwood, I'll get back to editing it later in the weke. I find it difficult working on one article for too long! Eastwood turned 80 on the 31st! Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Does the pixel height and width of the uploaded photo determine the size, or is there more to it? I'm trying to anticipate how large the photo will show on the live page, before I upload it.
Also, what is a good file size to use if I plan to insert two photos on a page in addition to the photo in the infobox? Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. Doc2234 ( talk) 23:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I am surprised that Dr. Michael Julius King's Rangers: selected combat operations in World War II was not referenced for this article. It is a {{
PD-USGov-Military}}
and his maps seem to have been the base model for the ones you have supplied me. The one from p. 170 of Breuer's The Great Raid was a straight copy of King's; perhaps you can scan a larger cleaner version and replace the one I uploaded from King at Commons (
File:Cabanatuan Operations - Actions at the Objectives, January 1945.jpg)?
Anyway, I have completed the route map. How does it look? I omitted certain landmarks as they do not seem to have any part to play in the operations. The Osprey map is inaccurate in certain co-ordinates as well (e.g. Balincarin).
Now for the action map, would you prefer a rendition in 2D that is almost like King's (just in SVG), or would you prefer an isotropic isometric (fake 3D)?
In another dig around, I found this drawing (right) from a survivor of Cabanatuan and by failing to renew its copyright, it has fallen into the public domain; the drawing depicts a scene of life there at the camp. The image can illustrate a scene of camp life as remembered by one of its survivors.
And just for my indulgement, check this out. This is why I find sourcing to be important; Carl Mydans (Life photographer) was on hand to photo some of the aftermath. He has a similar photo of File:POWs celebrate.jpg, albeit taken at a slightly different time (likely standing next to the army photographer, or in the same spot shortly before or after). I added it to the article as an external link... unpublished images of the raid's aftermath. Jappalang ( talk) 23:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
From a quick look over the article, there is an absence of mention of any "good" aspects of Cabanatuan camp; the portrayal of the Japanese follows common perception, of them in an absolute dark light (cruel men who maltreat and decapitate POWs all the time). The Japanese committed terrible war crimes but that does not mean there were no exceptions). There is a first-hand account (by Donald Rutter) that talk of a Cabanatuan camp commander who was not of that bent (perhaps for a short time), different from his predecessors ( http://www.cnac.org/emilscott/rutter01.htm). I do not think it can be overlooked that Rutter is a primary source, and the project is strict about picking up words from such and using them. No doubt we should be looking for information from reliable secondary sources.
A search on Google books yields possible sources; of note: "We had complained among ourselves how rigorous life at Cabanatuan had been, but in comparison to our fellow inmates here we were in the pink of condition." from Prisoner of the Emperor by Stanley and Duane Smith. Much of the results, however, seem to be portraying the camp as a harsh place. Parkinson's Soldier Slaves, published by Naval Press Institute, talks of life at the camp (harsh, certainly backed by Steele above) and points out that the Japanese philosophy for them was containment, not extermination. John M. Wright's account of Cabanatuan in his Captured on Corregidor highlights certain luxuries the camphad in some periods. So all in all, it seems to me that the current article is not portraying the camp in true light (right now, it reads as if the camp was a straight out death camp since inception; perhaps in reality it was a "containment" camp, varying among "relative comfort", to harsh, to absolute tyranny from time to time). The article might not be portraying things in a balanced and unbiased view of the camp, especially since there is no separate article for the subject. Jappalang ( talk) 23:25, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nehrams - another film award. This time for Morenooso, for their work on saving the article The Bandit Queen from a speedy deletion and bringing it up to a status for a DYK. They also notified the film project too. Thanks. Lugnuts ( talk) 08:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Please explain why you removed two images from Americana (film). I would sincerely like to understand so that I do not waste a lot of time doing something that I think is 1. desirable to the goals of Wikipedia and 2. Acceptable within the Wikilaw, only to find out weeks later that my efforts were in vain. This is like my umteenth request for this type of information and I am VERY frustrated by this process, so please be explict in your explanation.-- Ishtar456 ( talk) 11:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
I think the lack of images makes the article look barren. Still working on it. Take Care.-- Ishtar456 ( talk) 18:32, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Nehrams.
If I may ask, can you spare a few moments to help me look at the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban article? I am not entirely sure where to start, and would appreciate a few pointers if you can offer them.

I'll work on restoring the links that I took down, I have one question with the assessment, what does this mean " Before getting there, the tag should be addressed in the "Differences between the film and graphic novel" section." Thanks in advance.-- Iankap99 ( talk) 23:50, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, you can. Took me forever to figure it out with
Star Trek: First Contact, but put a thumbtime=n
parameter in the inline reference, for example in First Contact: [[File:S08-first contact borg queen assembled.ogv|thumbtime=14|220px|thumb|alt=]]
. n
is, of course, the number of seconds into the clip; I think the default is halfway in the duration, but either way you're best setting it at a custom one so that people don't necessarily have to load the entire thing. On the video you uploaded,
File:ATATStopAnimationLandscapeStarWars.ogv: you could prolly boost the quality and resolution if you trimmed out the letterbox elements. I haven't used DVDVideoSoft or Premiere, but it should be simple enough to export a final file that's cropped to a widescreen aspect ratio to cut out all that black (assuming that it was part of the DVD presentation.)

Hi Nehrams2020,
I'll take a look, but don't have time tonight. Are they all yours, or ones you've picked up Flickr, etc? Just checking there quickly, I think there's 36 in that gallery, which is quite a lot of reviewing. There's a few I'd discount even on thumbnail size, but many others look OK, at least at that size. Have you got a favourite say 3-5 that you'd like me to look at first? Cheers, -- jjron ( talk) 14:24, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
I realize you don't know me from Adam so take my opinion for what it's worth, but when you're doing hundreds of edits to a page that consist of single sentences and sentence fragments, as on the image cleanup page, the constant repetition of "--Happy editing!" or any signature phrase becomes very grating and makes it extremely difficult to read your comments. I would be hard-pressed to believe that I'm the only editor who has this difficulty. Could I suggest that in such situations in the future you omit that part of your signature, for the sake of other readers? Otto4711 ( talk) 21:55, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Nehrams, I know how good you are at persuading pro photographers on Flickr to relicense their images, so would it be possible for you to have a go at getting this and this please? Bradley0110 ( talk) 17:59, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
