Why did you remove the category from the article? MartinezMD (talk) 00:45, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Because "Best Makeup Academy Award winners" doesn't belong in the Categories page of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", that's why. --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 01:05, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
- Because it didn't win or because it's not a category? I don't understand.MartinezMD (talk) 01:14, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
The latter. --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 01:18, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
- I see now, Category:Best Makeup Academy Award winners vs Category:Films that won the Academy Award for Best Makeup. Both were listed. MartinezMD (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
So, will Category:Best Makeup Academy Award winners be deleted? --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 01:33, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
- I've reverted my revert, so it's out of Button. I don't know if anyone has it on another article. MartinezMD (talk) 01:48, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
Academy Award for Best Directing
I see you seem to be on a mission to change this everywhere. Is there a conversation on the talk page of Wikiproject Film relevant to this move? The correct name is "Academy Award for Best Directing" not "Best Director Academy Award". It's just not its official name, more over: Wikipedia:If it ain't broke, don't fix it -- you're making a lot of busywork for something that doesn't need to be done. If there's no current discussion about this change I'll be happy to start one. Cheers. JesseRafe (talk) 17:37, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- Haven't you seen the Academy Award for Best Director page? --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 17:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- At that article it clearly states "officially known as the Academy Award for Best Directing" which is why the articles that you are changing used that term. You are welcome to add your input at WP:DISRUPTIVE editing. Your cooperation in this will be appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 17:50, 23 February 2018 (UTC)]
- I second MarnetteD’s warning regarding your edits, which also seem disruptive to me. I strongly suggest you discuss and gain consensus before unilaterally embarking on mass changes. I also note many are in the process of being reverted. Jusdafax (talk) 15:35, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
- Absolutely agree with WP:DISRUPTIVE. Thank you, David J Johnson (talk) 16:10, 3 March 2018 (UTC)]
- Definitely disruptive editing. Making changes like this will be reverted and cause other editors more work. If you want to contribute please take your arguments to the discussion page suggested above. Robynthehode (talk) 22:52, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi. On two occasions, you have gone against a long-held consensus used in the above page - namely, that piping cannot be used to divert a person's name to another Wikipedia entry. Piping in the Deaths pages is used for disambiguation purposes only. The correct procedure is already in place; the

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Quiet Man. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please read your Talk page on this subject and stop adding incorrect titles. Thank you David J Johnson (talk) 12:14, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi there Thomas, I saw your edit removing the category for Kobe Bryant. I wanted to make you aware of a discussion I started here regarding your rational for the removal. You have a point, but I don't know which category would be more appropriate for Kobe. He certainly deserves to be included in one since he did win an Oscar for that category, but he doesn't belong in the directors category either. Anyway, I wanted to let you know and hopefully we can come up with an appropriate solution. - PaulT+/C 00:23, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
Maybe Kobe produced it. --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 10:52, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at The Quiet Man, you may be blocked from editing. You have been warned multiple times that you are adding incorrect Academy Award titles and also overlinking. Please stop now. Thank you. David J Johnson (talk) 13:30, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

I'm so sorry about that! I want another chance at Wikipedia! Please! --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 23:08, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thomas Mulligan. You need to be specific if you wish to be unblocked. "I'm so sorry about that" is not a reason to be unblocked. You need to address questions such as: If you are unblocked, what would you do the same or differently in your editing and communication? What are your thoughts about the warnings that your fellow editors have left on your talk page? (See Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks if you would like more detailed guidance.) Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 23:20, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
I didn't know disruptive editing was getting on everyone's nerves! I promise to obey the rules from now on! --Thomas Mulligan (talk) 23:22, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
- Frankly, that is not a good enough reason. You have been warned multiple times about your disruptive editing, which will take editors some time to put right, and have not answered the host of warnings on your Talk page. Wikipedia operates by consensus and you have totally ignored this. I would urge the community to uphold Paul Erik's actions. David J Johnson (talk) 11:05, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
