Per
- I didn't realize that you had moved it at all. I thought someone else had done it awhile ago. I haven't really viewed the page in awhile, and since the image is really only relevant to the Production section and that was next to the infobox I knew it had to be moved for the image not to clash with the infobox.

Moving pages
Please do not move anymore pages until you completely understand what you are doing. If you have a question, please ask someone, instead of moving a page a dozen times till you think it's the right one (which, it wasn't). Also, nothing has changed with the Nightmare remake, so there is still no reason to have a page for it. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
- Please read WP:NFF, again. We have discussed this already, and the consensus was to keep the page redirected until it meets WP:NFF. Nothing has changed since that last discussion, but you ignored consensus and moved your sandbox over the redirects.
The franchise article currently has more information, better sourced, and better organized than the sandbox you moved into the mainspace. All reliably sourced casting is listed there already. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:18, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation guidelines
Hi Repairman,
It's good to see that you're interested in disambiguation pages. Me too! It's not a common interest. You may want to review
Happy editing,
Neelix (talk) 01:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Repairman,
- WP:MOSDAB, as it states that long disambiguation pages should move the table of contents to the right side rather than leaving it on the left, which, by implication, would be the standard practice on shorter disambiguation pages.
- Please don't feel like I'm rejecting your ideas. If you feel that the guidelines should be changed, start a discussion on the WP:MOSDAB talk page. All guidelines governing disambiguation pages on WP:MOSDAB, and they are all open for discussion.
- Happy editing,
Spelling

Speedy Deletion
I have nominated your Vincent van Gogh article for Speedy Deletion. It is in violation of numerous editing standards including this: [2] All the images should be no larger that 180px, with the exception of a lead image - 300px. Each image must have explanatory text and the article itself needs a reason to exist. It is superfluous at the present....Modernist (talk) 05:19, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- I saw that you're working on an article on the work of Van Gogh. Why not work on improving the existing article, List of works by Vincent van Gogh? Fences and windows (talk) 23:55, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- I would also suggest that you re-work List of works by Vincent van Gogh and combine it with your recent efforts. Here are two examples of list articles that work well: [3] and [4]....Modernist (talk) 11:44, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Hi, it's me again! I think the disambiguation thing was the result of a misunderstanding. As I explained here, it's just the cases when there's no primary topic that the disambiguation page is named something other than "xxx (disambiguation)".

Oops, I see you're right. I just assumed that there's no other album by that name since Lullaby (album) already redirected there. I've changed my position accordingly. Jafeluv (talk) 15:56, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Would you be interested in joining this project? We need more editors who share a burden for rescuing promising editors who have gotten into serious trouble because of behavioral issues. IF (a fundamental condition!) they are interested in reforming and adapting to our standards of conduct, and are also willing to abide by our policies and guidelines, rather than constantly subverting them, we can offer to help them return to Wikipedia as constructive editors. Right now many if not most users who have been banned are still active here, but they are here as socks or anonymous IPs who may or may not be constructive. We should offer them a proper way to return. If you think this is a good idea, please join us. Abce2|AccessDenied 04:36, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi!
Thanks for the invite! I do think it's a good idea (a lot of my time on Wikipedia is spent dealing with various sock puppeteers), however I'm not sure I'm up to the challenge just yet! I'd like to spend more time here, and possibly get involved with mentoring or adopting new editors, before mentoring "challenging" editors. I'll start lurking at WP:WikiProject User Rehab, however, and don't be too surprised if I change my mind and get more involved.
Thanks again,

- Actually, throwing it out will activate a default value of 1. So will have to be border-s=0. Debresser (talk) 03:27, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

See also Wikipedia:Spoiler warning/RfC travisl (talk) 14:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Hmm
Is the example so much more useful when it's example.com as opposed to example.org? The reason the user tried to change it to .org is because "example.com" is what is added when you click the "External link" on the toolbar. Thus, to find possible test edits, people search for links to example.com. You having this permanently in your archive makes them sift through more results to clean up the errors. –xeno talk 19:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- What? I Seek To Help & Repair! (talk) 19:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
- The reason they changed example.com to example.org is so that your archive doesn't show up in a search of pages needing cleanup of example text [5]. Keeping it in there makes it harder for these people to do their work. –xeno talk 19:39, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

- First, they can update the franchise page. It's that simple. When there is actual production info to be related, then we can talk. Right now, there isn't. Casting isn't production, that's pre-production. Locations is location, and doesn't say anything about what's actually going on. Writing is something we need. Filming (like filming styles, discussing changes to how a character is filmed in this film as compared to the original) is another that we need. We don't have that, because they aren't talking about it. This movie won't be out for another year, which means there is a long time of waiting and we probably won't get any real information for a few months. There is no need to have a page that literally copy and pastes the same info from the franchise sitting around for 2 months with nothing new. We aren't going to ignore WP:NFF simply because you don't like the location of the info. Other films have to follow that guideline, so this one does too. BIGNOLE (Contact me)00:33, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- If you plan on adding plot summaries (which is what I assume you were referring to when you said "info") then we have a different adjust for the template that is used. The reason being, you should have the same color header for the episode data (writer, director, title, airdate) for each entry. It would look more like Smallville (season 1). Look at how that template does that. BIGNOLE (Contact me)11:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

- With the plot summaries in there, you don't need two different contrasts to separate the episodes. The plot summaries act as a natural separating, so they can all be the same color. BTW, some of these are reading very familiar, like from a website that I was on. If you are getting these from another location, please remember to summarize what is said, and not simply copy and paste (if that's the case). Otherwise, good luck and have fun adding the plot summaries...the page needed them. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- We do not report on "leaked" photos, because that means we're reporting on stolen information. Secondly, we do not make personal observations on photos (i.e. Freddy is wearing a polo shirt and fedora). When I said we are not a news organization what I was referring to was putting in information we're going to delete later because it isn't relevant to the historical preservation of the article. A year from now we will not care that there was a shot of Haley in a polo shirt pre-burn. We are not Shock Till You Drop, we're not a film entertainment website that posts updates on films. We're an encyclopedia. Yes, we get information when it immediately comes out, but that information is stuff that will continue to be in the article for as long as the article exists. The stuff about the school's pool is relevant now and will be relevant a year from now. The fact that there were some "leaked" photos isn't relevant to Wikipedia now or later. As for the other created article, they did not do anything but copy and paste the info from the franchise article. They have nothing knew. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 12:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Freddy
Technically, it doesn't meet
- Appreciate it. I have a book, and the DVD commentaries..I've just been busy with the Smallville pages and Jason and Michael (the latter isn't finished either). Plus, I've been trying (ever so slowly) to finish the Friday the 13th page. You'll notice on the real page I've had to go ahead and start putting stuff in because I got tired of people adding unsourced, irrelevant stuff. But the one that's on the mainspace is no where near as complete as the one in my sandbox. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 00:29, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- The rationale isn't so much the problem as the actual page. The section the image appears in needs to have text describing the glove, describing why the glove was changed, etc... from reliable sources. That is why WP:NONFREE refer to when they say "critical commentary". At this time, I wouldn't worry about it. If someone hasn't removed the other images, they aren't going to remove that one. Now, hopefully, I'll be able to (one day) find info on what went into making the original and what went into making the new glove and then use an image of the old and the new together. Until then...

- That's actually on one of the DVDs, so, if it's used then we need to cite the DVD and the feature on the DVD it appears under. We cannot cite YouTube (who is currently illegally broadcasting that clip). I also have the Nightmare Encyclopedia DVD, so whenever I get around to watching that it should be good info. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:41, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- To the first, YouTube can never be used. If you see TV clips on there then they are there against copyright and thus illegal. Wikipedia cannot promote anything illegal. Also, if the clip is deleted, as often happens on YouTube, then the source is gone. If you are citing a Leave it to Beaver episode, and using the YouTube clip, then just cite the episode itself. LITB isn't out of print or anything, so it can easily be sourced by viewing the episode on DVD.
- To the second, the "In mass media" is separated for two reasons. 1) I always separate out individual states until I'm ready to weave them into coherent prose. That's why you'll see on the Friday the 13th sandbox that some of it is prose and some of it is still bulleted out. This helps me to gather my thoughts before I start blending sentences to find the best way to say something. 2) I also do that when I don't have sources for something, and in this case there isn't a source for any of that information, and so I want to remind myself to find a source for it or drop it completely if I can't. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 03:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- ANIghtmareOnElmStreetFilms.com is not the studio, and thus it is illegal for them to post clips from a DVD they do not own the copyright to. That website is an independent company, it's not New Line. If you look at the disclaimer at the bottom left of their webpage, they indicate that they are not intending to infringe on the rights of New Line with their posts. That's cool, but we still cannot cite YouTube. Their personal website is good for finding info, but we really need to find more reliable sources that talk about what that website has (e.g., They list X-merchandise, so we should try and find a third-party reliable source that discusses merchandise-X). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, you shouldn't have created it first. You should have gone to the WikiProject to find out who would be interested in starting a task force. If it's just 2 people (you and myself) then there isn't enough editors to support a task force. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:57, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

- I think the original was better, because you get more of a sense of the sweater's color, whereas the current one you have the sweater looks like it's black. That's why I didn't choose that particular version from the same website before. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Appears green to me? Saying "green and red" but with it appearing to be black and red doesn't help the situation. This one might be better at showing the green, or one of these: 1, 2. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:37, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- Pages are not created, or kept, simply because people choose to ignore our policies and guidelines. Otherwise, the same theory could be applied to the idea that if someone continuously adds unsourced trivia to pages that we should eventually just let it be because it's never going to stop. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. It's 99% the same as the franchise section. Adding a designer's name, or an actor's opinion thoughts on what the plot will be doesn't constitute production information. The film is a year away. The same issues existed for the new Friday the 13th and Halloween II. F13 didn't get a full article until about 7 months before release, and this is how much we had before when we created the page. Halloween II was only created about 2 months ago, and this is what we had for it. There probably will not be enough info for Nightmare to warrant a page for another 2 or 3 months...unless they just start flooding us with info here in the coming weeks.

Re:Freddy Krueger Copyright
So, each one is adds to the article in a way that words could not? All of them add to an understanding of the article subject in a very significant way? It's not about the number of images used- articles do not have a certain number of images they are "allowed" to have- it's about whether each one truly is needed. J Milburn (talk) 23:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- If the change in his appearance is truly important. Is there sourced discussion of the change? Different styles of makeup, what critics thought, etc? J Milburn (talk) 23:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how this is ambiguous. I mean sourced discussion in the article prose concerning his change in appearance. For instance (made up on the spot, I've not seen the films) "Critics responded positively to the change in appearance, which focussed more on the supernatural nature, taking Krueger further away from his human form. The change was achieved in part due to heavier makeup, whcih was said to take up to three hours to apply, and in part due to heavier use of special effects." See what I'm saying? J Milburn (talk) 23:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
- I'm still not convinced. What's the purpose of this image, for instance? It just decorates an unrelated section about a supposed suicide attempt- nothing is mentioned about proms, promotional pics or how the characters look. J Milburn (talk) 09:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- If it's not important, remove it. What's the purpose of the Dream Demons image? The Dream Demons are mentioned only in passing, and what they look like seems unimportant to fully understanding the character of Freddy Krueger. The image of the baby seems completely unimportant- again, the baby is mentioned only very briefly, and how it looks is not important. What is the purpose of File:Freddy vs jason promo.jpg? Freddy's appearance in that film is not discussed at all, though the film itself is. I can see the purpose for the New Nightmare Freddy, but what about his claw? The claws are not discussed, the image seems superfluous (esecially as you can see the claw on the Freddy image). Also, looking at those images, I'm a little concerned about the use of the non-free images, often without rationales, on related pages. If you don't want me to come knocking on them, I reccomend you clean out unneeded uses there. Also, I reccomend you tie the captions of any remaining images to the prose- for instance, for the New Nightmare Freddy, instead of "Freddy Krueger from Wes Craven's New Nightmare.", something like "Krueger's appearance in this film is more in line with what Craven had imagined for the character originally". J Milburn (talk) 09:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
No issue with the description pages, the issue is explained- what are the images illustrating? Why are they needed? (We'll focus on this article at this time.) J Milburn (talk) 09:57, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Further, I don't think the issue is with my explanations, it's with your understanding. When you failed for so long to understand what was meant by "discussion" of the images... J Milburn (talk) 09:59, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, we are agreed on the main picture, and on the New Nightmare picture. First of all, the claw. Simply stating that it is important does not make it so. If it is so important, how come it is not discussed in the main prose? Further, why is an additional image needed, when the claw is already shown on the image of Krueger himself? Seems a pretty clear violation of minimal use- two images are used, when one suffices. The Freddy vs. Jason pic- what is it actually illustrating? Again, simply claiming it's informative doesn't make it so. I can't see what it is illustrating, or what it adds to the article. The baby picture- if you feel it should be removed, please remove it. A discussion about its use on other pages can be had, but there's no need to leave it lying around on this one. J Milburn (talk) 10:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
- No, I mean in File:Freddy Krueger New Nightmare.JPG. J Milburn (talk) 10:46, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Robert Pattinson
Ah yes, now I see the difference. I thought you had simply used a different word so as not to sound repetitive. Is this better? Andrea (talk) 03:25, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- True enough. However, saying something along the lines of "currently unpublished" implies that it will be published but just hasn't come out yet, which isn't correct either. Andrea (talk) 04:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I'm the one who changed it from "the film adaptation" to "a film adaptation". ;) I re-linked Pattinson because although it is linked once prior in the lead, it is done so when no mention is even made of who he is. I thought that when listing the main stars, which is probably one of the most important lines in the lead that most people will read, all of the actors should be linked. I wouldn't object to you removing it, though. Maybe that line should be moved up, actually, to right after the first sentence. Andrea (talk) 16:06, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Digiclock
Thank you very much. Actually it's not that great: the code is inelegant and requires lots of repeats of expressions like: "(24+{{#time:G}}+{{{offset|0}}})" because the MediaWiki variables extension isn't enabled on Wikimedia servers. And even for all that, it doesn't support fractional timezones. I thought about perhaps splitting it into two templates, so the second would be called like a function, but it's also nice having its source kept in just one page. (Any thoughts?)

- I think the article could take a page from The Colbert Report, with regards to the Segments section. That is to say, I don't really think it needs one. The recurring jokes really does need to be reworked, or (preferably, IMO) stripped down and written into another section. I'm just not sure it requires its own section, yeah?

Same with the former segments. Do you think so? Also, ha, I was actually in the process of creating this when you sent that last note. :P Audiosmurf ♪/♫ 10:31, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
- It's good, huh? I'd take a look if we got Fox News up here without fancy cable, but maybe I'll stream an episode or two. We gotta figure out a less clumsy way to word this, though:
- Gutfeld will also make frequent and graphic sexual insinuations regarding Bill Schultz, stating or insinuating that Schultz is a "pansexual dilettante", involved in various bizarre fetishes, is a virgin, is African-American or is a homosexual, among similar claims.
- It just kind reads really awkwardly. I tried to fix it up a bit earlier, but it needs to be totally reworded I think. Good work with the segments, too. I think a bit about the "Pinch" character is worth keeping in, but I don't think it requires its own subsection. A mention somewhere, possibly in the same area that the "Pinch & Me" segment is worked into, would probably suffice, wouldn't you say? Audiosmurf ♪/♫ 10:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

You accuse me of mindlessly deleting the tags; however, perhaps you should have clarified your reason for deleting my images earlier. Moreover, you requested that I add a link to my file on the Volturi and to also procure a reduced version of it. I have followed it most completely. This is a valid link. Please provide more "evidence" before you revert my contributions to Wikipedia, or I will be compelled to take further action in response.

P.S. I would appreciate it if you would be more specific as to why you think my image does not fulfill all the copyright standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Universityoffelicity (talk • contribs) 02:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't see significant coverage for that film on it's production, which is the requirement for
- Don't get snippy with me. I'm merely telling you what NFF says, and currently that article fails NFF. As for "in the coming weeks", we've basically had the same information for months, with the only new update being that he changed the name of the film. I'd hardly consider that "significant coverage". BIGNOLE (Contact me)19:46, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- I follow the policies and guidelines we have. I'm sorry if you do not like that that is how I operate, or if you just do not agree with them. I have not come to that article and redirected it, started a deletion discussion or tried to merge it. Have I? Now, unless you have something to say to me in a more civil tongue, please do not return to my talk page and continue attacking me as you have been doing as of late. Good day.

WP:FILMS' Tag & Assess Drive and Roll Call
The Schulz article
I added a section on his role on Red Eye W/ Greg Gutfeld. He is on the show everyday, and my article describes his role on the show, how Gutfeld makes fun of him. I even included a video where he acknowledges the "pansexual dilettante" comment (not that he is one, but he has jokingly been described as one by Gutfeld). I included the proper context for Gutfeld's intros of his guests.
For you to accuse me of vandalism is outrageous.
The article is already short. If you think it needs a career section, then add it yourself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.242.217 (talk) 02:12, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- I did misread your message, and I apologize. But you should realize that many articles are slowly assembled, piece-by-piece, and their quality is gradually improved. If I wrote about his role on Gutfeld (which is what he is known for), I would have added another information (with links). To delete the section just because it didn't have the specific "Career" section is unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.126.242.217 (talk) 05:15, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that user has an obvious bias. Based on their comments on that talkpage (and the move request for the 3rd movie), they oppose any move and has threatened to try and gets admins to patrol the page. Their comments are especially odd ad he tried to say the consensus was to keep the current name. I don't mind being on the losing end of a move request (although not happy either), but when the debate is ongoing and current consensus is on my side (it's 5-2 in favor of moving) I get irritated.

Renesmee Carlie Cullen (Nessie)
Yes, but if you think of it that way, then alot of wikipedia pages should be deleted. If something is considered notable in the series, and the series is popular in a particular generation (ie. the twilight saga boom), then it is considered notable in general as well. Has Senverus Snape or Louis lane contributed anything to our generation, other than through literature? No, they havent, but they are one of the main characters of their series. I understand that there should be wikipedia pages for the other characters, but im just saying... The other characters dont have a book totally about them right? Like there is jacob Black (being hte main characer in New Moon)and he has a wikipedia apge... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sassyish (talk • contribs) 01:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Scarce! You have nominated my page for deletion. You said that Renesmee is not a notable-enough character in the series. However, i believe this is not so. As you are probably aware (seing as you are a WikiVampire), the Twilight series is going into movies. Right now, there is Twilight, and New Moon available. However, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn are scheduled to be playing very soon. I am a very big fan of Renesmee, and as you probably know, the movie Breaking Dawn is centred totally around her. She is one of the three main Cullens; along with Edward and Bella. They are a family, and all have their own wiki pedia page. I wanted to get a head start, is all, before someone else creates the wikipedia page (which they sureley will in the future). So i would really appreciate it if you were to re-think the deletion of the page.
Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sassyish (talk • contribs) 23:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Her father was not Phoenician, but a Christian Lebanese Arab. The person who put the Phoenician claim goes against the source #2 at the end of the sentence. Probably vandilism, therefore, my edit should be restored. --Qvxz9173 (talk) 00:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks very much, Scarce; perhaps the strength of authority of my sources was rather lacking (as you said you'd presume a pure horror unless the producers or someone directly involved stated it to be comedy-horror) however my intention was to convey that lots of people seemed to find the movie funny as well as scary.

Drag Me to Hell Again
Hi Scarce, I removed those comments as they seemed to be form non-notable sources that didn't even warrant their own page. They were also just added below the page where we already had more notable sources and critics citing their review. The section just shouldn't be so long and it can be summed up with a category, no? Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:25, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- What do you mean they can be removed? I have video sources that say Raimi wanted the film to be funny and scary. And I've cited Allmovie as calling it a horror comedy. So we do not need several non-notable internet critics to describe the film. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Scarce... I just saw you removed the category "Songs from film". You're correct that song was inspired by the film, but since it's been reported (notably in the Walt Disney/Buena Vista press release) that the song will be played over the end credits, wouldn't that count? I'm fine with your ultimate decision either way. Thanks. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 02:50, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Are you aware that your apparently custom signature template does not work? Please fix it. Propaniac (talk) 19:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, you've been on Wikipedia a whole nine months, I'm very very impressed. No, I was not aware that you were intentionally making your signature appear ugly and broken. I don't generally assume that's the intention of any user, no matter how long they've been here -- even a whole nine months. Propaniac (talk) 22:53, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Most editors don't use custom sigs at all. Even if I knew that a user had been active for several years, if I saw their signature was broken (as yours appeared to be) I would guess they had only recently adopted that signature and hadn't realized yet that they'd made a mistake. I have no idea how custom signatures work myself because I've never had any interest in creating one. Propaniac (talk) 00:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Remember Me
Hi. Thanks for your edits to the "Remember Me" movie article. I added some tweaks too after your edits. The pre-screening of the film I saw yesterday evening (March 10 2010) explicitly had in its opening "New York 1991" (the year was clear) and after Ally's mom's murder and aftermath, it faded into the caption "Ten years later". So I annotated that. It was clear we were in 2001 in the film at that point. Best wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 03:42, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
