Ok looking at this 1) It was completely unsourced. The lead had a line saying
Filming is expected t In September 2008
I don't think the filming has started yet and that doesn't even make a full sentence.
2) Did you just copy the entire page from somewhere? as I can see the following
Contents 1 Production of the film 2 Villains for the film 3 Fake Advertisements 4 References
You know if you want to copy something from wikipedia make sure you hit edit and then copy.
3) what is the references section supposed to be. they are all jumbled up and for what are they for? they aren't linked to any line.
4) Do you really have a source saying which villians will apear rather than just what people wish they want. Currently it is an extremly bad article and not better than what's in the series page section of Spider-Man 3. So I have redirected to the series page again.
Also see WP:NFF regarding future film articles. I copied one line from it: "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. Budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date."
So please don't start that article until you can provide enough info and until the filming starts. -- Gman124 talk 01:49, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
As you have been linked to it already, I remind you that WP:NFF requires, in most cases, production to start in before creating articles about films. As such, I"m reverting spider-man 4 back to a redirect until the filming starts. ThuranX ( talk) 23:38, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I've reverted your change to the above page; as described on the talk page of the article, the sourcing for your version is somewhat concerning - it appears to be a personal or amateur web page, which doesn't really fall under reliable sources criteria. If you feel that a change needs to be made, please go to the talk page with a reliable source and discuss it before further changes - simply reverting without comment as you have done a couple of times is not appropriate, and leans towards edit warring, which I see you've been warned about before.

Thanks for contacting me. Generally, future films do not have articles until filming actually starts. Many films can have major stars attached only to have them dropped or replaced by the next day. Rather than create film articles only to have production of a film be shut down, it's better to be certain the film is definitely going to be made. If filming is already started, then it's highly unlikely that the film will be cancelled. Although it is very likely that a fourth Spider-Man film will be made, it's possible all of the main actors/director may not return and it could be years before it's made. It's best to wait it out (hopefully it's not too long, I'm already ready for the next one). In the meantime, you can create a sandbox article, gathering related sources (or expand the current section in the Spider-Man (film series) article) and preparing the article for the day it may appear. For further guidance see film notability. If you need further clarification let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 04:30, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Example: After the Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter, Abraham Lincoln declared war on them.
With the words, "Abraham Lincoln declared war on them" being a link to the page American Civil War.
Note- I know that's not what any article says. It was just a rough example I gave.
Hi. It would help us all a bit if you could sign edits on Talk pages please - then it would be much easier to talk to you, like this! :) To sign, you just type four tildes - that's ~~~~, four of the "squiggle" character "~" and it signs it automatically for you with the date and time. Here's the cool bit: I notice that although your account is "Valkyrie Red" you like to sign as "Red Slayer", right? Well, by the same token my account is actually "DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered" but nowadays I sign as "DBaK" (yeah, the long name turned out to be a pain). So when I sign it looks like this:
DBaK ( talk) 08:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC) - even though I just typed ~~~~!
- and presumably you'd like it so when you sign it looks like this:
Red Slayer ( talk 08:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
You can set this up to work automatically very very easily. At the top of the screen click "My preferences" then in that screen you should be on the "User Profile" tab (if not please click it) and on that tab the third box down is "Signature". In the "Signature:" input space type Red Slayer then go down to the bottom of the page and click "Save" - and you're done. Userfriendly sig, with your own choice of name, in a couple of minutes! Type ~~~~ at the end of each Talk page edit and bingo! It just works.

A tag has been placed on Alvin-Earthworm requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

After examining several pictorial histories of the Civil War I was not able to identify your photo as originating from either Fredericksburg or Petersburg, however, using the B-157 identification marker in the lower left corner I was able to determine it is from Petersburg ca. 1865 as per http://www.archives.gov ( http://www.archives.gov/research/civil-war/photos/images/civil-war-115.jpg). Hope this was of help. Arbogastlw ( talk) 05:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Re: this revert, I agree with your edit summary, that is interesting. However, good writing practice would be that you find another source in addition to http://www.nps.gov/frsp/historyculture/fburg-hist-maryesh.htm and add a sentence or two into the article that is properly sourced and not simply copied and pasted from the NPS site. The passage makes strong concluding statements about the following months but without good sources it is simply an unsourced quote of another person's writing. Maybe you should copy the paragraph onto the article talk page and ask others to work with you to add that concluding overview into the "Aftermath" section.

There's this user who is being completely biased and unfair in several arguments I'm having with him regarding the American Civil War.

How do I report him or get him kicked out of the Civil War project on Wikipedia?

Thanks for your comment, but any admin looking at that talk page is just going to say "No Consensus" without reading a single word and decline the move. I've been around long enough to recognize the pattern. What matters here is not the quality of one's arguments, but the volume of them. It was worth a try, but, when any issue has defenders who adopt the tactics we've seen here, it's absolutely hopeless to try and fight it. Tevildo ( talk) 23:05, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Valkyrie Red, I'm sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way at the United States article. I certainly didn't mean to belittle your suggestion or anything like that, I think it was a very valid suggestion, but moving that article has been argued over many times before and I agree with the reasons given for keeping it at the same place. I know how frustrating Wikipedia can seem when you first get here, things are done in certain ways that don't seem to make any sense, and you can argue until you're blue in the face to no avail. I hope this experience hasn't dissuaded you from contributing further to Wikipedia, I think too many newcomers are scared away by what seems a horribly arbitrary beaurocracy. I assure you that contributing can be a much more fulfilling than your recent experience at the US article probably was. Anyway, hope there are no hard feelings, take care, and Merry Christmas.

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

As you can see, my talk page is quite crowded. How do I create archives so I can clear my talk page without deleting anything?Red Wiki 02:16, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Just make a subpage of your talk page, and copy all the posts over. For detailed info, see Help:Archiving_a_talk_page.-- fetch comms ☛ 02:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

This picture here http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Trenches_petersburg.jpg was it off the Siege of Petersburg or the Second Battle of Fredericksburg, cause two different articles on Wikipedia, that have that same picture, suggest differently
The two articles that have the same picture are the Siege of Petersburg article and the Fredericksburg, Virginia article.Red Wiki 00:57, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

After examining several pictorial histories of the Civil War I was not able to identify your photo as originating from either Fredericksburg or Petersburg, however, using the B-157 identification marker in the lower left corner I was able to determine it is from Petersburg ca. 1865 as per http://www.archives.gov ( http://www.archives.gov/research/civil-war/photos/images/civil-war-115.jpg). Hope this was of help. Arbogastlw ( talk) 05:35, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Re: this revert, I agree with your edit summary, that is interesting. However, good writing practice would be that you find another source in addition to http://www.nps.gov/frsp/historyculture/fburg-hist-maryesh.htm and add a sentence or two into the article that is properly sourced and not simply copied and pasted from the NPS site. The passage makes strong concluding statements about the following months but without good sources it is simply an unsourced quote of another person's writing. Maybe you should copy the paragraph onto the article talk page and ask others to work with you to add that concluding overview into the "Aftermath" section.

There's this user who is being completely biased and unfair in several arguments I'm having with him regarding the American Civil War. He isn't reasonable, always gets his little Wikipedian friends to support him and reports me for the 3RR rule thing, just because I started it first. How do I report him or get him kicked out of the Civil War project on Wikipedia?
Thanks!

Thanks for your comment, but any admin looking at that talk page is just going to say "No Consensus" without reading a single word and decline the move. I've been around long enough to recognize the pattern. What matters here is not the quality of one's arguments, but the volume of them. It was worth a try, but, when any issue has defenders who adopt the tactics we've seen here, it's absolutely hopeless to try and fight it. Tevildo ( talk) 23:05, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Valkyrie Red, I'm sorry if I rubbed you the wrong way at the United States article. I certainly didn't mean to belittle your suggestion or anything like that, I think it was a very valid suggestion, but moving that article has been argued over many times before and I agree with the reasons given for keeping it at the same place. I know how frustrating Wikipedia can seem when you first get here, things are done in certain ways that don't seem to make any sense, and you can argue until you're blue in the face to no avail. I hope this experience hasn't dissuaded you from contributing further to Wikipedia, I think too many newcomers are scared away by what seems a horribly arbitrary beaurocracy. I assure you that contributing can be a much more fulfilling than your recent experience at the US article probably was. Anyway, hope there are no hard feelings, take care, and Merry Christmas.
