Regarding removal of criticism section on article for Lost (TV series)
editHello there, Obvious. I understand that you believe the aforementioned section was factually inaccurate. I disagree with that opinion and here's why:
- You stated that the sentence regarding the maxi-series label applied to Lost was incorrect as the producers themselves have denied it. Criticism, however, occurs from what others think of the series and hence the producers' opinions, although significant, do not allow the views of established entertainment critics to be ignored.
- Aside from that, the other points in the section such as the lack of closure present within the plotlines, the impact of the competition of other television shows etc., are still valid and hence, unless you can prove otherwise with references, it was incorrect to remove the entire section.
- Please see WP:NPOV which states that a neutral point of view is essential to maintaining Wikipedia's integrity. Thus, an article that details a television show must include everything that can be included so as to ensure a balanced perspective.
- You did not provide any citations to back up your views that the information present were inaccurate. The removal of content without any consensus (please see WP:CONSENSUS which states that major edits have to be consensual or agreed upon) can be considered as vandalism.
I hope that after reading the above, you will understand why I reverted your edit. I appreciate your interest in contributing to wikipedia by ensuring its accuracy and I sincerely hope that you continue doing your best in that manner. If you still disagree with my actions, then please state your views on the talk page before deleting an entire section. A good place to echo your concerns or disapproval would be this section as most editors of the article will likely go to the last (and hence, latest) section on the talk page.
That said, I'd like to welcome you to wikipedia once again and I hope that you enjoy your stay. Zuracech lordum 21:39, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Genres capitalized
editHow is this bad grammar? (Reply here.) –thedemonhog talk • edits • box 18:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- Genre names should be capitalized.
Obvious 06:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
- Capital letters are generally not used on Wikipedia unless they are proper nouns. Just because other articles do it, it does not mean that is should be done. In the infobox, there is a field for "Executive producer(s)" and not "Executive Producer(s)" so the argument that infoboxes are special in that they always use capitals cannot be used. Just because something is prettier, it does not mean that it should be used. I am going to change it back one more time and if you still disagree with me, please bring up this issue on the article's talk page or tell me that you disagree here and I will. –thedemonhog talk • edits 03:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:EllenM.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:EllenM.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
