Kermit the Frog references

Dear Ribbet32,

I have restored the Kermit the Frog article to before your revisions. The way that you have the references fails to make them machine readable, and more closely follows Wikipedia:Citing sources, specifically the WP:CITESTYLE section. If you would like to add the dates & access dates into each reference with the template, all it takes is |date=<date>|access-date=<access-date> it be inserted after another variable in the template.

Concerning ''[[George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight|The Hour]]'', [[CBC Television]], aired 4 April 2007., I deleted it and placed the {{citation needed}} tag there because, according to IMDB, the show did not air on the date listed. If you can find and prove the correct date, then I am all for having this citation. Thanks, Elisfkc (talk) 21:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

IMDb is not a reliable source and is incorrect about that. Information should not be removed from the article, I'm under no obligation to reenter info I already spent a lot of time entering. Ribbet32 (talk) 21:13, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok, I will add the dates later tonight (I'm in Eastern Time Zone). For now, I will revert it back to the ones with the templates. As for the George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight citation, I cannot find a reference anywhere that even proves that the episode took place that day, let alone the quote. If you could provide another citation, that would be great. Elisfkc (talk) 22:18, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Done

Here you go; I look forward to seeing what you can do with this. DS (talk) 15:05, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

List of films considered the best

It seems like this editing is a bit disruptive, the sheer amount of content removal without any discussion on the Talk page. Why remove Bosnia? --Mr. Vernon (talk) 04:59, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

I removed nothing. User:TompaDompa is removing lots. Some edits may be justified. I have not had a good look at all of them. Talk to him, and start a discussion on the article's talk page. Ribbet32 (talk) 05:02, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Mr. Vernon and Ribbet32: If my editing seemed disruptive, I apologize. I was going for WP:BOLD, not disruptive. Going to the article's talk page (per WP:Bold, revert, discuss) sounds good to me. TompaDompa (talk) 05:06, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

TompaDompa, as I said, some of your edits may be justified. Sometimes a lot of junk gets added to Wikipedia. But it's not a bad idea to discuss on talk if you're removing referenced material. I noticed you removed some for dead links, but per WP:LINKROT, some links can be salvaged. Ribbet32 (talk) 05:18, 27 November 2016 (UTC)

@Ribbet32: My experience with articles bloated with junk is that all too often, not enough people are interested in replying to the discussion for there to actually be one (meaning, there is often no one besides the person who started the discussion). I was worried the same thing might happen in this case. Perhaps I was mistaken. Regarding the dead links, I did try to salvage some (though admittedly not all) of them by using the Wayback Machine and/or locating the same information elsewhere.

Ugetsu GAR

Nice work on the article there. One of the best films I've ever seen IMHO. I would very much like to review it if that's alright with you.  — Ssven2 ^{Looking at you, kid} 11:18, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Thank you @Ssven2:, I don't think you need my permission to review if you wish to. Ribbet32 (talk) 18:11, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Disagree

I disagree your moving page from List of accolades received by Arrival (film) into List of accolades received by Arrival, because it's about the contexture of the title. Arrival is really a film, not place or something else... I am not going to argue with you because it's moved yet and I can't moved again...

IreneTandry (talk) 17:12, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

IreneTandry, I find it hard to see what you're trying to say- I think you mean context rather than contexture- The opening sentence is "Arrival is a 2016 American science fiction film". No place called Arrival has a "List of accolades received by" page... In fact, the only place listed on Wikipedia with "Arrival" in its name is at Arrival Heights rather than just Arrival. Ribbet32 (talk) 17:18, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

It's useless for arguing with me. Although you explain everything, I am still disagree with you. IreneTandry (talk) 17:24, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Yes, and I hope I never see you editing again at List of accolades received by Arrival or judging me like idiots. IreneTandry (talk) 17:38, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Not done Sorry Irene, but you don't have the power or right to unilaterally ban me from List of accolades received by Arrival, just as I didn't remove your useful edits to an article I got up to B-class. You don't own the accolades page; that would be, in your words, "selfish" [1] [2] [3] [4]. Speaking of which, using that word comes across as inexplicable and hypocritical- someone else adding to an article you edited is "selfish"? I'm not sure whether "judging me like idiots" is supposed to mean you're calling me an idiot ("judging me like an idiot") or if I treated you like an idiot ("judging me to be an idiot"), but I never judged you to be so. The link I gave you on your talk that you removed contains useful advice- "Lack of technical expertise: Insufficient technical knowledge is not usually a problem, unless when adding, deleting, or changing technical content. Not everyone needs the same skill set—and as long as people operate only where they're capable, differences in skill sets are not a problem." There are a lot of technical features on Wikipedia I don't understand and am not interested in learning, but I'm not going to remove them just to make the person who added it have to re-add it twice. Ribbet32 (talk) 00:03, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Not done I copy. I don't care about what you said. The other users may edit that page, except you. You will ruin me and that page. Then, you "kick" me from Wikipedia like the boss... A user accused me as vandal, now, you accused me as selfish. That's amazing. I hope I never see you, I don't know at Wikipedia or else. And I don't care of what pages I edit or what pages you edit...

Can you read my messages before this? Should I say continously? Honestly, I hate saying continously.

"It's useless for arguing with me. Although you explain everything, I am still disagree with you." So, you can close this "discussion" (or should I say "edit-warring"?) and I don't argue with you again... I will make that page better than La La Land's accolades and I follow Wikipedia's rule, not like you... Note: I'm not American or British or Finnish or whatever....

Sattam Oru Iruttarai

I thank you for showing support for moving Sattam Oru Iruttarai (1981 film) to exclude the year. But Lugnuts and In ictu oculi do not seem to have come to an agreement. Andrewa, I thank you for showing the same, but if a consensus is not reached, then the move proposal will be closed. If we show those two users the naming style of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Thillu Mullu (both of which have 21st century remakes) as well as the policy WP:TWODABS, you think they will agree without saying WP:OTHERCRAP? Kailash29792 (talk) 07:21, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, Kailash, but to be honest, I don't think IIO is going to be open to persuasion on accepting a primary topic no matter how much evidence is provided. Ribbet32 (talk) 18:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

I come to your page to talk about one personal attack, and I find another. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:00, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

That comment about my children was truly disturbing. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:01, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

...I didn't say anything about "your" children. It's just that your mentality of "only old people look up movies made before 2000" is usually one I see in very young Internet posters. Ribbet32 (talk) 17:21, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

So "you children" wasn't a typo, you were attacking me because you thought I was a child? That's worse. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:12, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Do you think the discussion must be re-opened? I am fine with it, but I fear it will become an endless cycle if users like IIO interfere. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:50, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

No. I'm sorry this didn't work out User:Kailash29792, some of us did our best to support. But it's too soon, and frequent renominations because you didn't get the desired outcome the first time are not looked upon kindly by the community. Best to wait if something drastically changes (a huge spike in page views), or at least give it a year, and try to come up with a more detailed move proposal.
