Hi, Erik. I understand that you, being a long term member to Wikipedia, could help me with a problem I have.
I accidentally uploaded an image without provoiding any copyright tags...and I am quite afraid that I will get in trouble for my mistake...since Wikipedia is very serious about image uploading. Here is the file: File:Rescue-logo.jpg If you could point me towards how to fix my mistake, then I would really appreciate it. Thank you Monkeys 9711 ( talk) 23:48, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Erik...
Long time, no talk. :) Hope you're well. I've been informed, by Wikipedia, that they're about ready to move my WORLD-FAMOUS (picture fireworks n' stuff) photo of the "Vesper cocktail" to the Wikimedia Commons. It's my photo and I took it and I wanna do it but I have no idea how to do this.
Help? :)
Thanks!

Nominating I'm nominating Black Swan (film) for GA and since there are four contributors with 50 or more edits in the history ( User:Koavf, User:Bbb23, User:Fsm83, and User:Erik), I figured I would give a generic heads-up on these talk pages to let you know. I don't necessarily know how nominating and apportioning responsibility goes out for these sorts of things, but for what it's worth, I'll follow the review and make any amendments that the reviewer finds necessary. — Justin (koavf)❤ T☮ C☺ M☯ 04:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Erik, I wonder if I could ask for a comment from you at Talk:James Bond (film character)#Yet another deletion process. regarding the "X in film" concept and what it is and isn't supposed to be. I appear to be trying to explain the concept to some closed minds and an explanation from others may help loosen the thinking processes slightly!

Hi. I was wondering if I could ask for a comment from you on WT:FILM#Cast in lead and see what your opinions are on this matter. I am trying to help improve Princess Mononoke to GA status, but there are some concerns regarding whether we should use the cast members in the lead section per WP:MOSFILM#Lead. I am also concerned that an IP who edits the article claims to have a consensus regarding the use of "awards" vs. "accolades" (as indicated in this edit but when I tried to search for a discussion regarding a possible consensus, I unfortunately could not find any discussion about this matter. I was only trying to seek advice from other project members on how to improve the article as a whole, but I was accused of wikilawyering by the IP (which I did not intend to do), and I promptly apologized and explained my intentions, and a further explanation from you may help solve this matter.

Erik, I see this a s serious issue. When you have a film, like Last Ounce of Courage, that has gotten nothing but terrible reviews from "professionals", but nothing but praise from audiences, how do you reflect this in articles? It seems illogical to allow the comments and aggreate ratings of "critics" in froma page, like Rotten Tomatos, but no comments or ratings from audiences....the only difference here is one is paid, the other is not....the opinion of one person of a film should not be more important that the opinion of 1000's or tens of 1000's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.0.99 ( talk) 22:57, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
INFO TO SUPPORT THE ADDITION OF A LINCOLN SUBTEXT SECTION. [edit]
"The Manchurian Candidate" (1962) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm977372160/tt0056218
Dude, http://www.filmsite.org/manc2.html
Senator Iselin is reflected off the glass covering a portrait of Lincoln - juxtaposing the ghostly-thin, anti-Communist with a stalwart American from another era, as he fixes himself a drink. As a spineless puppet, Senator Iselin complains to his wife that he can't keep the number of Communists straight in the Defense Department: "I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time. It makes me look like some kind of a nut, like an idiot." She holds up a newspaper and proclaims:
Raymond's vicious, overly-smothering mother - sitting next to a bust of Lincoln and in front of a fireplace portrait of Lincoln - sabotages his relationship and potential marriage plans with the daughter of one of his step-father's political foes - she labels Jocie "a Communist tart." She interprets his romance as dangerous to her own plans, and maternally 'brainwashes' him to give her up:
http://www.filmsite.org/manc3.html
The celebration opens with images of American patriotism gone mad - there is a closeup of an American flag - a hand reaches out and defaces the flag with a trowel-like shovel. It scoops up the caviar from the star pattern onto a cracker to be devoured. The hand belongs to Johnny Iselin, who is dressed with a tall stove-pipe hat and fake beard as Abe Lincoln. He excuses his desecration: "It's all right, it's Polish caviar." Mrs. Shaw, who appears as Little Bo Peep (or Mother Goose?), reaches out with her long staff and pulls his arm - an apt metaphor for her controlling nature. Raymond, who is costumed as a Spanish gaucho, is extremely nervous about meeting his long-lost girlfriend.
The scene in the study between Raymond and his mother begins with a close-up of a black bust of patriotic father figure Abraham Lincoln - one of many such witty image compositions and motifs in the film (visually linking Iselin to Honest Abe). Raymond's mother divulges that she is his American controller - an agent for the Reds: "Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?" When he comes upon the Queen of Diamonds, she is unexpectedly called away and takes the card as a precaution. Jocelyn, however, finds Raymond in the study and is reunited with him - she is coincidentally (and improbably!) dressed as the Queen of Diamonds - the most appealing costume possible for him! After embracing, they depart to elope, and leave behind her card costume.

Yeah, it seems like a decent fit. The film's first scene is a home invasion and the plot does later revolve around them as Graham tries to get into the Tooth Fairy's head by staking out the victims' homes and going over his actions.

Hello Erik, and thank you for your kind remark. Yes, I am both frustrated and angry. Your peers behave like ignorent idiots. I agree my contribution wasn´t at all suitable for the Plot-section, but instead of moving it to a proper section and elaborating it, they deleted it. The Alien-story's location in space, Zeta2 Reticuli, was extremely carefully chosen by Ridley Scott among millions of star systems, because of it´s proximity to earth and it´s newly discovered disc of debris surrounding the star.
It's as important as Titanics size and position on earth, 270 meters long and resting in the north Atlantic 4 000 meters deep. Without that information, Titanic's just another sunk boat somewhere. It carries the story.
Another battle I lost was the one about pharaoh Rachaf, Chefrens true egyptian name. Your peers couldn´t find this in lesser and ordinary english speaking encyclopedias/references, deemed it not important, and it was deleted. Stringence ( talk) 05:48, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Discussions are taking place as to whether the articles List of films featuring diabetes and List of films featuring home invasions are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether they should be deleted.
The articles will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films featuring diabetes and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films featuring home invasions, respectively, until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussions. The nominations will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussions focus on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the articles during the discussions, including to improve the articles to address concerns raised in the discussions. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion templates from the top of the articles. – Zntrip 05:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on WT:FILM. Sorry for misreading you (disputing/disrupting).

Dear Erik,
Thank you for answering my call for help on The Matrix article. I'm not sure I understand you correctly about your offer in looking for books for the article, though. You offered to provide a list of potentially useful books for me, and to look for them for me, but the problem is, I have no idea what's in them, and what part in them I can cite, so I can't tell you what I need nor can I read them and make use of them. As I said on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film, I simply can't access an English book physically. Wouldn't it be easier just to have to join us in the article, and then you provide whatever statements you can provide from offline sources? Anthonydraco ( talk) 18:42, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

When I opined for retention in August 2010 an article on the James Dalessandro novel did not exist. And my defending its retention in July 2012 resulted in my writing the article on the film. While I still think a strong case can be made that this unmade film has enough notability to merit an article under NFF, a merge and redirect (as a searchable title) to the novel would serve the project,and I would be willing to undertake the merge. Shall we discuss? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:35, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I've been pretty busy at the moment, but I'll raise the issue of cast orders at WT:FILM when I have more free time.
Anyways, to answer your questions- I believe the infobox should be based on the poster. I consider it to be a separate entity from the cast section and different rules apply to it.
When the ending credits are alphabetical or by appearance, then the poster and/or the title credits should be used as long as two criteria are met: these credits are not alphabetical and they do not bill a prominent actor last.

What is the point in deleting it anyway? There is no harm in letting it continue to exist, seen as two films exist and a third is in pre-production. Just let it be, even if it does not have a third film release yet, it is still informative to the reader and does no harm by existing. Thanks Frogkermit ( talk) 15:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm sorry for being a real jerk. I really am, I was just angry with going around the internet and finding out that Zilla's being vandalised everywhere, and discovering that someone created two Wikis trying to take down Wikizilla, and I just had very little temper and I just spewed it out on you. Again, I'm very sorry for being so disrespectful, but I was really angry and I just had to take it out on someone, and you were unfortunately the one caught in the heat ray. I'm real sorry and I feel ashamed, I should know much better. If you'll ever forgive me, I'll be very happy. Thanks Erik-- sorry for all of that and thanks for your support. :) 493Titanollante ( talk) 03:08, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Those are the names featured on the lower portion of the poster. I don't believe it's correct to narrow the names down to the four at the top because that would result in Jacob Lofland being omitted and Lofland plays one of the film's major characters. Bluerules ( talk) 23:51, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hey Erik, Thanks again for your help getting the "Film rating system" section of the MPAA article into place. I'm not sure if you've seen, but I've posted a proposal for a new version of the "History" section over at Talk:MPAA. I'm especially keen to get this section moved over into the article sooner rather than later, since the current "History" section has quite a bit of material plagiarized from the MPAA's website, which isn't good for Wikipedia nor the MPAA. I'm wondering if you might have time to look at what I've proposed and, if okay, move it over into the article? If you have feedback and it's minor, could I suggest moving the draft over into the article and then work on making adjustments, in order to get the plagiarism issues resolved? Thanks! MPAA Kyle ( talk) 22:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
I killed it because it is using arcane syntax features which should be only used in templates, overriding the standard enforced by Infobox film, and was only implemented in the four articles of yours out of the entire Wikipedia, while it should be implemented either nowhere or everywhere for visual consistency (feel free to start a discussion about it, but personally I don't care). See also the recent discussion at WP:VPT.
Also, I'd say that the 'R' part of WP:BRD should really come after the 'D' part, especially we're talking about multiple articles... this is just an unnecessary disruption to make twelve changes instead of four. Matma Rex talk 11:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering if I could ask for a comment from you on WT:FILM#Cast in lead and see what your opinions are on this matter. I am trying to help improve Princess Mononoke to GA status, but there are some concerns regarding whether we should use the cast members in the lead section per WP:MOSFILM#Lead. I am also concerned that an IP who edits the article claims to have a consensus regarding the use of "awards" vs. "accolades" (as indicated in this edit but when I tried to search for a discussion regarding a possible consensus, I unfortunately could not find any discussion about this matter. I was only trying to seek advice from other project members on how to improve the article as a whole, but I was accused of wikilawyering by the IP (which I did not intend to do), and I promptly apologized and explained my intentions, and a further explanation from you may help solve this matter.

Erik, I see this a s serious issue. When you have a film, like Last Ounce of Courage, that has gotten nothing but terrible reviews from "professionals", but nothing but praise from audiences, how do you reflect this in articles? It seems illogical to allow the comments and aggreate ratings of "critics" in froma page, like Rotten Tomatos, but no comments or ratings from audiences....the only difference here is one is paid, the other is not....the opinion of one person of a film should not be more important that the opinion of 1000's or tens of 1000's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.0.99 ( talk) 22:57, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
INFO TO SUPPORT THE ADDITION OF A LINCOLN SUBTEXT SECTION. [edit]
"The Manchurian Candidate" (1962) http://www.imdb.com/media/rm977372160/tt0056218
Dude, http://www.filmsite.org/manc2.html
Senator Iselin is reflected off the glass covering a portrait of Lincoln - juxtaposing the ghostly-thin, anti-Communist with a stalwart American from another era, as he fixes himself a drink. As a spineless puppet, Senator Iselin complains to his wife that he can't keep the number of Communists straight in the Defense Department: "I mean, the way you keep changing the figures on me all the time. It makes me look like some kind of a nut, like an idiot." She holds up a newspaper and proclaims:
Raymond's vicious, overly-smothering mother - sitting next to a bust of Lincoln and in front of a fireplace portrait of Lincoln - sabotages his relationship and potential marriage plans with the daughter of one of his step-father's political foes - she labels Jocie "a Communist tart." She interprets his romance as dangerous to her own plans, and maternally 'brainwashes' him to give her up:
http://www.filmsite.org/manc3.html
The celebration opens with images of American patriotism gone mad - there is a closeup of an American flag - a hand reaches out and defaces the flag with a trowel-like shovel. It scoops up the caviar from the star pattern onto a cracker to be devoured. The hand belongs to Johnny Iselin, who is dressed with a tall stove-pipe hat and fake beard as Abe Lincoln. He excuses his desecration: "It's all right, it's Polish caviar." Mrs. Shaw, who appears as Little Bo Peep (or Mother Goose?), reaches out with her long staff and pulls his arm - an apt metaphor for her controlling nature. Raymond, who is costumed as a Spanish gaucho, is extremely nervous about meeting his long-lost girlfriend.
The scene in the study between Raymond and his mother begins with a close-up of a black bust of patriotic father figure Abraham Lincoln - one of many such witty image compositions and motifs in the film (visually linking Iselin to Honest Abe). Raymond's mother divulges that she is his American controller - an agent for the Reds: "Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?" When he comes upon the Queen of Diamonds, she is unexpectedly called away and takes the card as a precaution. Jocelyn, however, finds Raymond in the study and is reunited with him - she is coincidentally (and improbably!) dressed as the Queen of Diamonds - the most appealing costume possible for him! After embracing, they depart to elope, and leave behind her card costume.

Hello Erik, and thank you for your kind remark. Yes, I am both frustrated and angry. Your peers behave like ignorent idiots. I agree my contribution wasn´t at all suitable for the Plot-section, but instead of moving it to a proper section and elaborating it, they deleted it. The Alien-story's location in space, Zeta2 Reticuli, was extremely carefully chosen by Ridley Scott among millions of star systems, because of it´s proximity to earth and it´s newly discovered disc of debris surrounding the star.
It's as important as Titanics size and position on earth, 270 meters long and resting in the north Atlantic 4 000 meters deep. Without that information, Titanic's just another sunk boat somewhere. It carries the story.

Oh look, one unique link on this template, it's totally useful for navigation! Ten Pound Hammer • ( What did I screw up now?) 21:19, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
On 21 February 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Solomon Northup's Odyssey, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that director Gordon Parks chose to shoot the 1984 television film Solomon Northup's Odyssey in the Deep South where the kidnapped black man Solomon Northup worked in slavery? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Solomon Northup's Odyssey. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

The FAR is relisted, so join in discussion. Meanwhile, do not hesitate to fix the article Jurassic Park. -- George Ho ( talk) 00:07, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
Clarityfiend persuaded me to begin a draft article in my user space: User:Fantr/List of abandoned and unfinished films. I'm backlogged with articles I'm drafting. I encourage you to work on the draft article. The linked category in the draft article lists other unfinished films that can be added to the first table. Thanks! I'm going to invite SchroCat and Betty Logan to join. - Fantr ( talk) 21:32, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, there is currently a discussion in place re the title of "Pacfic Rim" on the Article Talk Page, that if you could swing by and provide some input that would be great. MisterShiney ✉ 12:37, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello Erik. Thanks for your post at the film project talk page. You might already be aware of it but in case you aren't I wanted you to know that the conversation is also ongoing here Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Box Office Mojo and Boxoffice.com. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 15:07, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Erik. You were recently involved in a discussion on the RS noticeboard. I've been mediating this dispute, and I thought I'd let you know that one of the editors has put forward a proposed resolution. I'd just like to notify you of this opportunity to build consensus. The proposition in question is here. Regards, m.o.p 18:08, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, as you have not participated in this discussion, would please review the proposal at Talk:Iron Man's armor#Merger proposal, determine a consensus and close it. Thank you.-- TriiipleThreat ( talk) 12:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
I need a little help here: I am having a conversation with an IP at Talk:Spirited Away#Spirited Away is Religion animation(SHINTO), but he doesn't understand me. Can you step in and help? Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 22:53, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Could you take a look at the FAC of Ra.One? Your input would be much appreciated. ~*~ Ankit Bhatt~*~ 10:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
So which of us will be bold and move the Iron Man (franchise) to "Iron Man (film franchise)" or "Iron Man in film" in order to discourage the article currently about the films from becoming a duplicate of Iron Man in other media? This wouilkd also entail a cleaning up of other redirects so as to better serve the readers. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:35, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
I've been pretty busy at the moment, but I'll raise the issue of cast orders at WT:FILM when I have more free time.
Anyways, to answer your questions- I believe the infobox should be based on the poster. I consider it to be a separate entity from the cast section and different rules apply to it.
When the ending credits are alphabetical or by appearance, then the poster and/or the title credits should be used as long as two criteria are met: these credits are not alphabetical and they do not bill a prominent actor last. Otherwise, the order should be decided through discussion. Bluerules ( talk) 19:32, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
The resason i believe that the article Journey (film series) should remain is because two films already exist, with a third confirmed by Josh Hutcheson, saying he's filming it Late 2013/Early 2014. What is the point in deleting it anyway? There is no harm in letting it continue to exist, seen as two films exist and a third is in pre-production. Just let it be, even if it does not have a third film release yet, it is still informative to the reader and does no harm by existing. Thanks Frogkermit ( talk) 15:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello, I'm sorry for being a real jerk. I really am, I was just angry with going around the internet and finding out that Zilla's being vandalised everywhere, and discovering that someone created two Wikis trying to take down Wikizilla, and I just had very little temper and I just spewed it out on you. Again, I'm very sorry for being so disrespectful, but I was really angry and I just had to take it out on someone, and you were unfortunately the one caught in the heat ray. I'm real sorry and I feel ashamed, I should know much better. If you'll ever forgive me, I'll be very happy. Thanks Erik-- sorry for all of that and thanks for your support. :) 493Titanollante ( talk) 03:08, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Those are the names featured on the lower portion of the poster. I don't believe it's correct to narrow the names down to the four at the top because that would result in Jacob Lofland being omitted and Lofland plays one of the film's major characters. Bluerules ( talk) 23:51, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Withdrawn. Thanks for pointing out the policy. I vented a little bit about notability tags so I feel a little better now. Thanks for clarification. If we had that type of communication on a regular basis, I believe that AfD consensus would be easier to reach. -- FoolMeOnce2Times ( talk) 12:39, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I respect your opinion, you are an established editor with a good reputation. As to what is going on over on RIPD, what are the thoughts on using the official website as a source for basic facts such as genre of the film? But not about this film, but films in general. -- MisterShiney ✉ 14:19, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Was there a discussion I missed about this move? Prometheus the 2012 film is clearly the primary topic and the other is disambiguated, and you did it while it's in the middle of a FAC nomination. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 20:27, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Erik, Thanks again for your advice on my proposed rewrite of the film ratings section for the Motion Picture Association of America article. I've now posted a revised version on the MPAA Talk page. If you have a chance, could you take a look and see what you think? Thanks! MPAA Kyle ( talk) 20:09, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Happy to snow that one. The nominator comments make it appear he may have a MAJOR misunderstanding of inclusion criteria for film. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:53, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey Erik, Thanks again for your help getting the "Film rating system" section of the MPAA article into place. I'm not sure if you've seen, but I've posted a proposal for a new version of the "History" section over at Talk:MPAA. I'm especially keen to get this section moved over into the article sooner rather than later, since the current "History" section has quite a bit of material plagiarized from the MPAA's website, which isn't good for Wikipedia nor the MPAA. I'm wondering if you might have time to look at what I've proposed and, if okay, move it over into the article? If you have feedback and it's minor, could I suggest moving the draft over into the article and then work on making adjustments, in order to get the plagiarism issues resolved? Thanks! MPAA Kyle ( talk) 22:09, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
I killed it because it is using arcane syntax features which should be only used in templates, overriding the standard enforced by Infobox film, and was only implemented in the four articles of yours out of the entire Wikipedia, while it should be implemented either nowhere or everywhere for visual consistency (feel free to start a discussion about it, but personally I don't care). See also the recent discussion at WP:VPT.
Also, I'd say that the 'R' part of WP:BRD should really come after the 'D' part, especially we're talking about multiple articles... this is just an unnecessary disruption to make twelve changes instead of four. Matma Rex talk 11:20, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
