Hi Marchjuly.

I just read your reply now. Thank you for your help!

Best,

Hello,
You are receiving this message because you are invited to take part at

The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon

The TVGUIDE.Com review for this title was published on May 10th, 2020. The film was released in 1997. The reviewer did not even get the release date of the film correct (they said 1996, but it was actually 1997). The reviewer took a line from the original New York Post review and poked fun at the film and the NYP review - more than 23 years later. I don't see why a review of a film - made 23 years after its original release - should be included in this article. Film tastes and styles change over the years, as do audience tastes and styles. It has been my experience that Wikipedia includes pertinent reviews of a film made just prior to - or shortly after - the film's original release, not more than 23 years later. This seems irregular, unfair to the original filmmakers and mean-spirited. I tried to remove the additional reference, which was reversed by you - user Marchjuly. I'd sincerely like to understand why.— Preceding unsigned comment added by RandySWT1 (talk • contribs) 06:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi

WP:TILDE since that's the easiest way to do so. Here on my user talk page, forgetting to sign your post or incorrectly signing your post is not such a big deal; on article talk pages (particularly when multiple people might be posting), however, it can help avoid confusion if you sign your posts. All you need to do is click "Show preview" to check whether you've signed your post; if you forgot, just go the end of you post and add ~~~~. Click "Show preview" once again to check your signature and then click "Publish changes" if everything looks OK. -- Marchjuly (talk

Yes, sorry... I've now replied on the Teahouse page. Kindly take a peek. I don't agree with Nick's assessment. But it appears I'm outnumbered.RandySWT1 (talk) 17:46, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

@

Empathy can seem in short supply in many places around here, and I want to let you know that you displayed tremendous amount in the forum!

Thanks for being a role model for the community! Good luck.

I just tried to help that particular user out. Sometimes you give a good answer, sometimes not so good. Hopefully, they will figure out a way to sort things out and decide to keep editing. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:26, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Sorry for the disturbance, but how would i make a template? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.69.251 (talk) 09:10, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't know very much about creating templates, but it seems you also asked the same question at the Wikipedia Teahouse and got some answers there. If you still need more help, perhaps try asking at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Templates. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:28, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello...I saw that you made some changes to the page I'm trying to create on Everett McCorvey. It is, as I'm sure you can tell, my first effort at a Wiki page although I've done some editing and gone through some of the tutorials. I didn't understand what you meant about copying the work and am not sure now that I am looking at the version that you created rather than my last version. Any help appreciate! Jacalyn Carfagno (talk) 17:58, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi Jacalyn Carfagno. For reference, it would've been OK for you to respond to the post I left on your user talk page by simply posting the above right below mine. It's OK for you to post here, but keeping everything in one place can help avoid splitting discussions and thus make things easier to follow, particular for others who might want to comment as well. So, I will post my reply on your user talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:54, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey there. I have noticed that you have removed an image from Timelapse of the Future. Being someone new who is still trying to learn, I respect your decision to do so. Do you have any suggestions to how the picture can be placed back? In what ways can it be recognized as fair use? I am new to these stuff, so this can be a way for me to learn something. A reply would be highly appreciated. GeraldWL 14:36, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Album cover art is generally considered OK when its being used for primary identification purposes at the top of or in the main infobox of a stand-alone article about the album itself per item 1 of

adding a rationale doesn't mean a non-free use is automatically compliant, and the use can still be challenged if someone disagrees with the rationale. -- Marchjuly (talk

Thank you for the notification. I'll respond on the DYK page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:02, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

bsd. Hi. I was wondering why doesn't

I’m not sure why I removed that file, but I’ve gone ahead and re-added it. The edit summary I left makes me think that my brain simply froze and I possibly mixed that file up with another some other file. Thanks for catching this mistake. — Marchjuly (talk) 15:19, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

No worries! Happens to me too! Thank you. --Ben Stone 21:39, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

I think I sort’ve figured out why this might’ve happened. The file was being improperly used in Cleveland and a couple of other articles; so, when I removed it from those articles, I must’ve unintentionally mixed this particular use in with those. — Marchjuly (talk) 22:28, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

An article popped up on my watchlist, which has lead me to remember a "situation" that occurred @ March 2018 involving Laramie1960. She was a passionate person who was editing Juliette Benzoni and related articles. She ran afoul of our *rules*, etc, and took it very personally.

You, Curdle and I spent some time working with this worthwhile, absolutely good faith editor, who had great difficulty understanding WP copyright rules, encyclopedic tone, etc., etc.

I recently reread our various exchanges on her talk, and was struck, once again, by your kindness, helpfulness and your supportive, yet factual comments. Back in 2018, I was already aware that you are a busy, well-respected and very competent editor. This was not the first time that I had seen you expend a great deal of time, reaching out to assist a "lowly newbie". I was pleased and "impressed" that a editor of your stature would choose (once again) to get involved. Years later, your pattern continues, and I notice you are still giving kind and helpful advice, by answering at the Teahouse.

So, best wishes to you, and many thanks. Sincerely, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 22:47, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback and the kind words. I don't really remember the specifics of that discussion; sometimes I get a bit lucky and post something that others find helpful. It that was the case here, I'm glad things worked out OK. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:03, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

My name is John J Flood and my name is on a Wikipedia page

It has been brought to my attention that the entry might be deleted

Be advised that I have a national reputation as a police union labor relations leader and expert on organized crime in the United States.

Considered as one of the founders of police union labor movement in the United States of America

Any person - student of college or university police administration curriculum would be missing police unionization history should such miss a search upon the name

This posting of my history was not placed upon Wikipedia by I - but I have been cognizant of its posting by students who advised finding the information on this website

I am not computer astute and no longer employ a staff that would have such expertise - so unable to be aware of problems as to this police information and the name being on Wikipedia

Should there be any questions I can be contacted directly by phone at the below number

Thanking you for your attention to this matter and awaiting your reply, I remain

Hi there, I'm responding to your message because I feel really attacked by this website. It feels like every single thing I try to do is overtly examined and criticized when all I wanted to do was help a friend out. His name is Joel Newton, he is a producer who co runs a VR company and he asked if I could set up a wiki page for him and his company. He offered compensation, which I've declared now though I didn't see it necessary at first because it wasn't like I was creating anything major, merely a little info page with pure facts, no bias and references to back it up. Now I understand that Wikipedia wants you to declare external relationships though at the time I didn't realise how serious it was, I'd literally joined Wikipedia just for this so everything was new to me. But having a profile picture removed because you don't think it falls under fair use? Really? What alternative do I have? Why are all the other articles allowed simple pictures of the person in question and I'm not? To put it simply, I think Wikipedia does a terrible job of easing newcomers in. The standards are absurd, it feels like I have to jump through a million hoops just to do a simple thing and all I'm trying to do is make an info page like any other one you'd find. Please, tell me what I'm supposed to do to achieve that, because I've given up trying to do it like a normal human. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone right? How about you upload the profile picture for me? It's clearly far beyond my capability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CongregationDaniel (talk • contribs) 08:07, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

I understand that you might be feeling a bit frustrated about way things have been going

WP:NFC#Background for how Wikipedia's policy differs from fair use), then you can follow the instructions in the template I added to the file's page and explain why by posting on the file's talk page. The administrator who reviews the file will see your post and take it into account when they decide whether the file should be deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk

Hi there, thank you for your notice on File:Indian_Summer_2019_Press_Photo.jpeg. Looks like I misunderstood the fair-use criterion, will contact the rights holder for release. In the mean time I'm happy for the image to be taken down - PandaSuit2 (talk) 01:29, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
