No idea, actually. As you can see, all my edit did was change the template being used; the number of UN personnel killed was already in the article at that point. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. — Kirill Lok s hin 14:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
You removed the tag from the Symbolism and Cultural Reference section and added sources. However, the section is still technically unsourced. Inline-citation requires each fact to be cited. Right now any user can add another bullet with no source but it appears to be somewhat justified because it might have come from one of the six links from the start of the section. (When you added those links, there were only two bullet points, now there are around five.) This is a sort of irrelevant article, but the citing is correct and relevant: The Office: Trivia. Does that make sense? Mrtea (talk) 04:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mrtrea,
thanks for the note.
I thought about your comments and took a look around at a few of the other movie articles to see if I could find a baseline. I've noticed that citations are usually *requested* whenever there is a *controversial statement* being made or one that there is no *obvious* source for. If you look at the The Matrix:Influences and interpretations & The Matrix series articles, you'll notice that there are many interpretation/influences that are not being referenced. I'll try to rearrange some of the points, and get rid of the weaker ones.
Also, you are correct. The references that I placed were only for the first few sentences (primarily surrounding Iraq/US administration, etc). They were not intended for the other points that people placed afterwards. I regret the fact that the people are just tagging on extra points under the original cited heading and will to find some way of resolve this.
Cheers.

I must say that I am impressed by your dedication to the constantly changing V for Vendetta (film) article. I personally have done minor edits here and there just to be snowballed over by the on-slot of the multitude of IP users. Each time I go to the site I see your name all over the place helping to keep the mass chaos as controlled as possible. You even created a "To-do list" for the film to help keep the contributions focused. Thanks for the dedication UKPhoenix79 10:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

A fair point, and maybe it wasn't necessary to point out, but I figured if it was focusing on issues of censorship that that, or similar issues, might warrant mention. If not, no harm no foul. Said- Radicaladz

The article is making good progress now. Here are my main issues at the moment:
Overall, I should say the volume of my criticism of this article is actually a reflection of its high quality! It is close to the high standard required of Featured Articles, and it just needs some difficult work to push it over the top. It is generally easier to criticise than to correct, but I hope you can rise to the challenge. Good luck and keep me posted, I'll be watching the article with interest. Soo 00:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
In response to the talk page, I feel the article is messy because too many users are trying to do different things. I feel the article is not making progress towards FA status, something I wanted to work towards long before the film was released. But I feel the article is going backwards...just my opinion. Cvene64 07:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to read over it sometime in the next few days and I'll leave my comments on the talk page rather than making major changes (I'll probably only directly fix small things like grammar). savidan (talk) (e@) 09:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Yea this was my one remaining claim to fame when it comes to this article. I was thrilled when you managed to find a place for this monologue when the troublesome trivia section (that I believe I also created) got removed. I'm surprised that I was the 1st person to talk to you since you were so active on this page even before I came upon the scene. I still think that you have done a great job with this page and deserve props for essentially becoming the voluntary administrator for this article.

Hi, P-Chan. I'm afraid that the honest answer to your question is "I don't know." I looked around some relevant policy pages, and couldn't find anything addressing the subject. My feeling is that discussion of P2P movie downloading shouldn't be encouraged, if for no other reason than that it's off-topic from the purpose of the talk page, creating an encyclopedia article. However, I don't think it's exactly forbidden either. The law on the subject is still a bit fuzzy in places, more so when you consider the international nature of Wikipedia. I didn't look through the history of Talk:V for Vendetta (film), but I don't think that the mere mention of bootleg copies of the film on the talk page is problematic. If I saw people asking how to download a copy of the film, I'd probably say that this isn't the best place to discuss such things and encourage them not to discuss it here, but I don't think that we need to worry about it too much.
Of course, IANAL, etc. You may get a more definitive answer somewhere like Wikipedia talk:Copyright issues. Sorry I couldn't be more help! — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 03:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
First, let me clarify that the good article and featured article processes are very different. For a GA, you may make as many good faith nominations as you wish provided that the the objections of the previous nomination have been addressed (which may not necessarily mean that the suggestions were made). For a FA, the nomination process is more complex. Because it requires a vote rather than a pass/fail, generally FA nominations must be spaced out (in addition to addressing the previous objections). Neither of these should be construed as a "penalty" per se. If I haven't adequately answered your questions, let me know. savidan (talk) (e@) 01:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
P-Chan, might I suggest that you consider the more frequent use of edit summaries? I was alarmed when you blanked a large section of Talk:V for Vendetta (film). It was not immeidately clear that you were creating an archive page, and I almost reverted you. Just a gentle reminder; carry on with your good work. Isopropyl 04:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, P-Chan. You'd mentioned that at the page above that Refences should "try to contain only inline citations." I don't see that on Wiki policy posted verbatim below. Wikipedia has got so many policies; could you let me know the one about references only containing inline citations? Thanks. Here's what I found:
Hi, all. The reason I've changed "External links" to "References" comes from these sections of Wikipedia:Cite_sources, quoted verbatim below. (Please note in Item 2 below that the italics are theirs, and not inserted by me.) Thanks!
1)
2)
So from what I understand of the above, sources used to write an article go under "References", and other helpful citations go under "External links" if they're linkable and "Further reading" if they're not online. I'll hold off on changing things back to the above policy for a day or so till I hear from you. Thanks, — Tenebrae 20:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your fast response! I would suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Adding to the lists of subjects. I think for a project of broad scope like Films, the bot would be very useful. Setting things up for the bot is surprisingly easy (see what you think), the main work is going through the article talk pages adding templates such as {{WP:Film|class=B|importance=High}} and the like. The military history folks have tagged 4000 articles in only a month or two, though! Let us know what you think, we'd love to have a more comprehensive coverage of films. By the way, I'm the picky b*****d who complained about the English in Gremlins 2 at FAC (see previous posting!). Cheers, Walkerma 07:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The gifted storyline did involve a "cure" that'd been discovered for genetic mutation. A good site to look at is www.uncannyxmen.net. Look under the issue summaries then click on the Astonishing X-Men, the current title. There've been a couple of mini-series in the past called Astonishing X-Men so don't let that confuse you. All of the issues of the comic, including the ones with the gifted storyline, are included. In fact, the gifted storyline begins with the very first issue of the series. The summaries are very detailed and it should provide you with everything you need. Odin's Beard 00:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Do you remember discussing the idea that we should not list every single character in the article? An editor has begun to re-add Arclight and all the other minor characters, and he wants to know why he shouldn't add them. I told him we had previously come to a concensus against that, but all I've found so far is an edit summary or two in which we mention not adding minor characters. -- Chris Griswold ( ☎ ☓) 17:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was working lately on improving (as film) a mixed novel-film article ( The Magic Christian), which had, since years, started to lean on the film side. Then another user asked me to start a separate stub on the novel. Not having done any of this before, I created The Magic Christian (novel) stub (including an old version when it was still in the novel phase), which is currently being worked on. Then I created The Magic Christian (film) where I placed the developing film article. The original page is now the disambiguation page, which also contains the past edit history of the original article. I still haven't figured out the exact way and consequences of changing the main title of an article, redirecting, etc. The original article had in its discussion page a template for film w/ "Stub" status. Without knowing that it is only for the assesment team to do this, I added "Start" status in the film's discussion page. I think that the article may actually be of "B" status now. If I am addressing the right person, can you please make a reassesment, or let me know to whom I should make the request? Hoverfish 18:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, the way I saw it, we should put in the people who are top billed (in either opening or closing credits). Etheridge does have only two scenes where he speaks, but he is billed in the first part of the closing credits. Earlier, I had Heyer on there, pretty much because he is played by an actor who is pretty big in England.

P.S. Could you possibly upload some images of Etheridge, Lilliman, Parliament exploding, etc. from the DVD? I tried uploaded some by screen-capturing from videos on YouTube, but I think there can be better ones. For some reason, it won't work on my computer's DVD player.

I'm sure when I was looking at this initially I saw an interview with Alan Moore in which he was talking about the origin, and mentioned the connection to V for Victory. I thought maybe it was in the back of the book, but it doesn't mention it there. I'll have a hunt around. Yomangani talk 11:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I should have been clearer about the request for references for the differences between the novel and film. The statements that I think require references are opinions about the motives and feelings of the characters (which are now either cited or have been removed), not differences in the story, locations, or actions. Finding citations for the very obvious physical differences is pointless (worse even than the demand for film specific references that I've been arguing against). Sorry, if there was any confusion about that - I'm happy with that section now. Yomangani talk 01:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
The Stephen Rea section is OK now. For the Count of Monte Cristo reference you could add something that makes it clear for people who haven't seen the film (since that's at least part of the audience for the article). Maybe just what you added on my talk page in the form of a reference, like: <ref>V and Evey watch the film together and discuss why it is his favorite film. At the end of the film Evey refers to V as Edmund Dantes.</ref> Well done for sticking with it through FARC though and congratulations on saving it. Yomangani talk 09:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Big Brother is Watching You... with VandalProof. ^>^ I noticed that somebody was messin' around with an atheism category, and I was keeping an eye on it to make sure the changes were legit (I'm a bit of an evangelical atheist myself). And while I was there I thought I'd might as well lend a hand.
And BTW... turn the camera back on... I was enjoying the show. >D - Big Brother 1984 06:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I must say I'm a bit skeptical about this category. I feel that it might be a matter of philosophy and personal opinion if a film fits this category. Also, it could possibly mean some inflammatory PoV debates whether a film has a religious message or not. Has this category been discussed on Films project?. I might have missed it and if so I apologize. Cheers -- TexMurphy 12:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. -- Nehrams2020 00:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

A new elimination drive of the backlog at Wikipedia:Good article candidates will take place from the month of July through August 12, 2007. There are currently about 130 articles that need to be reviewed right now. If you are interested in helping with the drive, then please visit Wikipedia:Good article candidates backlog elimination drive and record the articles that you have reviewed. Awards will be given based on the number of reviews completed. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the drive's talk page. Please help to eradicate the backlog to cut down on the waiting time for articles to be reviewed.

Thanks for uploading Image:Serenity_Cast.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 06:30, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vforvendettapanel.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih ( talk) 22:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vforvendettafinch.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot ( talk) 20:46, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Vprofile.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use.

As a member of
WikiProject Films, you are invited to take part in the
project's first questionnaire. It is intended to gauge your participation and views on the project. At the conclusion of the questionnaire, the project's
coordinators will use the gathered feedback to find new ways to improve the project and reach out to potential members. The results of the questionnaire will be published in next month's newsletter. If you know of any editors who have edited film articles in the past, please invite them to take part in the questionnaire. Please stop by and take a few minutes to answer the questions so that we can continue to improve our project. Happy editing!

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

I have nominated V for Vendetta (film) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. -- Collectonian ( talk · contribs) 20:40, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. Hope we can see you in April. |

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello P-Chan! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience.

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject.

A '
Request For Comment' for Good Article Nominations is currently being held. We are asking that you please take five to ten minutes to review all seven proposals that will affect Good Article Nominations if approved. Full details of each proposal can be found
here. Please comment on each proposal (or as many as you can)
here.
At this time, Proposal 1, 3, and 5 have received full (or close to) support. If you have questions of anything general (not related to one specif proposal), please leave a message under the General discussion thread. Please note that Proposal 2 has been withdrawn and no further comments are needed. Also, please disregard Proposal 9 as it was never an actual proposal. |
Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 01:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC) |
Hello! A
GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days! In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. |
Hello! Just a friendly reminder that the
GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on December 31, 2013! If you know anyone outside of the WikiProject that may be interested, feel free to invite them to the drive! |
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

As one of the previous contributors to {{ Infobox film}} or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to

Hi P-Chan,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

No idea, actually. As you can see, all my edit did was change the template being used; the number of UN personnel killed was already in the article at that point. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. — Kirill Lok s hin 14:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
You removed the tag from the Symbolism and Cultural Reference section and added sources. However, the section is still technically unsourced. Inline-citation requires each fact to be cited. Right now any user can add another bullet with no source but it appears to be somewhat justified because it might have come from one of the six links from the start of the section. (When you added those links, there were only two bullet points, now there are around five.) This is a sort of irrelevant article, but the citing is correct and relevant: The Office: Trivia. Does that make sense? Mrtea (talk) 04:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
Hi Mrtrea,
thanks for the note.
I thought about your comments and took a look around at a few of the other movie articles to see if I could find a baseline. I've noticed that citations are usually *requested* whenever there is a *controversial statement* being made or one that there is no *obvious* source for. If you look at the The Matrix:Influences and interpretations & The Matrix series articles, you'll notice that there are many interpretation/influences that are not being referenced. I'll try to rearrange some of the points, and get rid of the weaker ones.
Also, you are correct. The references that I placed were only for the first few sentences (primarily surrounding Iraq/US administration, etc). They were not intended for the other points that people placed afterwards. I regret the fact that the people are just tagging on extra points under the original cited heading and will to find some way of resolve this.
Cheers.

The article is making good progress now. Here are my main issues at the moment:
Overall, I should say the volume of my criticism of this article is actually a reflection of its high quality! It is close to the high standard required of Featured Articles, and it just needs some difficult work to push it over the top. It is generally easier to criticise than to correct, but I hope you can rise to the challenge. Good luck and keep me posted, I'll be watching the article with interest. Soo 00:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
In response to the talk page, I feel the article is messy because too many users are trying to do different things. I feel the article is not making progress towards FA status, something I wanted to work towards long before the film was released. But I feel the article is going backwards...just my opinion. Cvene64 07:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to read over it sometime in the next few days and I'll leave my comments on the talk page rather than making major changes (I'll probably only directly fix small things like grammar). savidan (talk) (e@) 09:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Yea this was my one remaining claim to fame when it comes to this article. I was thrilled when you managed to find a place for this monologue when the troublesome trivia section (that I believe I also created) got removed. I'm surprised that I was the 1st person to talk to you since you were so active on this page even before I came upon the scene. I still think that you have done a great job with this page and deserve props for essentially becoming the voluntary administrator for this article.

Hi, P-Chan. I'm afraid that the honest answer to your question is "I don't know." I looked around some relevant policy pages, and couldn't find anything addressing the subject. My feeling is that discussion of P2P movie downloading shouldn't be encouraged, if for no other reason than that it's off-topic from the purpose of the talk page, creating an encyclopedia article. However, I don't think it's exactly forbidden either. The law on the subject is still a bit fuzzy in places, more so when you consider the international nature of Wikipedia. I didn't look through the history of Talk:V for Vendetta (film), but I don't think that the mere mention of bootleg copies of the film on the talk page is problematic. If I saw people asking how to download a copy of the film, I'd probably say that this isn't the best place to discuss such things and encourage them not to discuss it here, but I don't think that we need to worry about it too much.
Of course, IANAL, etc. You may get a more definitive answer somewhere like Wikipedia talk:Copyright issues. Sorry I couldn't be more help! — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 03:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
First, let me clarify that the good article and featured article processes are very different. For a GA, you may make as many good faith nominations as you wish provided that the the objections of the previous nomination have been addressed (which may not necessarily mean that the suggestions were made). For a FA, the nomination process is more complex. Because it requires a vote rather than a pass/fail, generally FA nominations must be spaced out (in addition to addressing the previous objections). Neither of these should be construed as a "penalty" per se. If I haven't adequately answered your questions, let me know. savidan (talk) (e@) 01:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
P-Chan, might I suggest that you consider the more frequent use of edit summaries? I was alarmed when you blanked a large section of Talk:V for Vendetta (film). It was not immeidately clear that you were creating an archive page, and I almost reverted you. Just a gentle reminder; carry on with your good work. Isopropyl 04:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vendetta8comiccover.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rory096 17:27, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, P-Chan. You'd mentioned that at the page above that Refences should "try to contain only inline citations." I don't see that on Wiki policy posted verbatim below. Wikipedia has got so many policies; could you let me know the one about references only containing inline citations? Thanks. Here's what I found:
Hi, all. The reason I've changed "External links" to "References" comes from these sections of Wikipedia:Cite_sources, quoted verbatim below. (Please note in Item 2 below that the italics are theirs, and not inserted by me.) Thanks!
1)
2)
So from what I understand of the above, sources used to write an article go under "References", and other helpful citations go under "External links" if they're linkable and "Further reading" if they're not online. I'll hold off on changing things back to the above policy for a day or so till I hear from you. Thanks, — Tenebrae 20:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I offered a concrete and I think fair compromise just now at Talk:X-Men:_The_Last_Stand#Discussion_of_straw_poll. I urge you and other editors to weigh in so that maybe we can stop this back-and-forth battle. -- Tenebrae 07:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your fast response! I would suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Adding to the lists of subjects. I think for a project of broad scope like Films, the bot would be very useful. Setting things up for the bot is surprisingly easy (see what you think), the main work is going through the article talk pages adding templates such as {{WP:Film|class=B|importance=High}} and the like. The military history folks have tagged 4000 articles in only a month or two, though! Let us know what you think, we'd love to have a more comprehensive coverage of films. By the way, I'm the picky b*****d who complained about the English in Gremlins 2 at FAC (see previous posting!). Cheers, Walkerma 07:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

The gifted storyline did involve a "cure" that'd been discovered for genetic mutation. A good site to look at is www.uncannyxmen.net. Look under the issue summaries then click on the Astonishing X-Men, the current title. There've been a couple of mini-series in the past called Astonishing X-Men so don't let that confuse you. All of the issues of the comic, including the ones with the gifted storyline, are included. In fact, the gifted storyline begins with the very first issue of the series. The summaries are very detailed and it should provide you with everything you need. Odin's Beard 00:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

This page is being used for requests for film pictures, there are currently ten requests there.

Do you remember discussing the idea that we should not list every single character in the article? An editor has begun to re-add Arclight and all the other minor characters, and he wants to know why he shouldn't add them. I told him we had previously come to a concensus against that, but all I've found so far is an edit summary or two in which we mention not adding minor characters. -- Chris Griswold ( ☎ ☓) 17:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was working lately on improving (as film) a mixed novel-film article ( The Magic Christian), which had, since years, started to lean on the film side. Then another user asked me to start a separate stub on the novel. Not having done any of this before, I created The Magic Christian (novel) stub (including an old version when it was still in the novel phase), which is currently being worked on. Then I created The Magic Christian (film) where I placed the developing film article. The original page is now the disambiguation page, which also contains the past edit history of the original article. I still haven't figured out the exact way and consequences of changing the main title of an article, redirecting, etc. The original article had in its discussion page a template for film w/ "Stub" status. Without knowing that it is only for the assesment team to do this, I added "Start" status in the film's discussion page. I think that the article may actually be of "B" status now.

Congrats :) I don't know if you noticed but some people have been removing The letter V and the number 5. I have been trying to give more external sources. But as some have pointed out it was a part of the article when it became featured. I was hoping that you could help since I will not have much time today. Thanks & I hope to see you around again -- UKPhoenix79 20:21, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
The article you linked to is more about Li Ao's use of the V for Vendetta mask in a recent episode in the ROC Legislative Yuan... I'm not sure if it would actually fit into the article. -- ran ( talk) 20:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello,
Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Hi P-Chan! I am trying to get Serial Experiments Lain through FAC at the moment, and as I saw the work you did of V for Vandetta, I was wondering if you could give me a hand on that. The main objection standing is the text quality. Would you have a minute to copyedit, or point some weaknesses? If not, maybe you know of someone who might?

Well, the way I saw it, we should put in the people who are top billed (in either opening or closing credits). Etheridge does have only two scenes where he speaks, but he is billed in the first part of the closing credits. Earlier, I had Heyer on there, pretty much because he is played by an actor who is pretty big in England.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. - Just Phil 20:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Could you possibly upload some images of Etheridge, Lilliman, Parliament exploding, etc. from the DVD? I tried uploaded some by screen-capturing from videos on YouTube, but I think there can be better ones. For some reason, it won't work on my computer's DVD player.
I just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas -- UKPhoenix79 25 December 2006

Let's have the communication on FARC if it still opens. — Indon ( reply) — 20:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure when I was looking at this initially I saw an interview with Alan Moore in which he was talking about the origin, and mentioned the connection to V for Victory. I thought maybe it was in the back of the book, but it doesn't mention it there. I'll have a hunt around. Yomangani talk 11:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
I should have been clearer about the request for references for the differences between the novel and film. The statements that I think require references are opinions about the motives and feelings of the characters (which are now either cited or have been removed), not differences in the story, locations, or actions. Finding citations for the very obvious physical differences is pointless (worse even than the demand for film specific references that I've been arguing against). Sorry, if there was any confusion about that - I'm happy with that section now. Yomangani talk 01:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
The Stephen Rea section is OK now. For the Count of Monte Cristo reference you could add something that makes it clear for people who haven't seen the film (since that's at least part of the audience for the article). Maybe just what you added on my talk page in the form of a reference, like: <ref>V and Evey watch the film together and discuss why it is his favorite film. At the end of the film Evey refers to V as Edmund Dantes.</ref> Well done for sticking with it through FARC though and congratulations on saving it. Yomangani talk 09:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Vforvendettabushyoura.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Yes. Big Brother is Watching You... with VandalProof. ^>^ I noticed that somebody was messin' around with an atheism category, and I was keeping an eye on it to make sure the changes were legit (I'm a bit of an evangelical atheist myself). And while I was there I thought I'd might as well lend a hand.
And BTW... turn the camera back on... I was enjoying the show. >D - Big Brother 1984 06:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I must say I'm a bit skeptical about this category. I feel that it might be a matter of philosophy and personal opinion if a film fits this category. Also, it could possibly mean some inflammatory PoV debates whether a film has a religious message or not. Has this category been discussed on Films project?. I might have missed it and if so I apologize. Cheers -- TexMurphy 12:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{ GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. -- Nehrams2020 00:00, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Vforvendettapanel.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih ( talk) 22:34, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.
We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

I have nominated V for Vendetta (film) for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status.

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of April. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 200. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most.

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:31, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.-- Dom497 ( talk) 15:21, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

A '
Request For Comment' for Good Article Nominations is currently being held. We are asking that you please take five to ten minutes to review all seven proposals that will affect Good Article Nominations if approved. Full details of each proposal can be found
here. Please comment on each proposal (or as many as you can)
here.
At this time, Proposal 1, 3, and 5 have received full (or close to) support. If you have questions of anything general (not related to one specif proposal), please leave a message under the General discussion thread. Please note that Proposal 2 has been withdrawn and no further comments are needed. Also, please disregard Proposal 9 as it was never an actual proposal. |
Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along. A message will be sent out to all recruiters regarding the date when the Recruitment Centre will open when it is determined. The message will also contain some further details to clarify things that may be a bit confusing.-- Dom497 ( talk) This message was sent out by -- EdwardsBot ( talk) 01:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC) |
Hello! A
GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days! In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. |
Hello! Just a friendly reminder that the
GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on December 31, 2013! If you know anyone outside of the WikiProject that may be interested, feel free to invite them to the drive! |
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

The March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on April 1, 2014! Sent by Dom497 on behalf of MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 21:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
As one of the previous contributors to {{ Infobox film}} or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to

Hi P-Chan,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
