FA nomination for Lord of the Rings (1978 film)

Good evening (GMT time); I realise that my comments at the above article's FA nomination and Peer review page have been quite harsh.

Just to let you know, I appreciate everything that you have contributed to the above article, and that you have honoured the encyclopedia with your terrific contributions. However, at Wikipedia we aim for perfection and this may mean we have to pose as pessimists when rating an article :) Please do realise that I do not have anything against you :P If you think I have acted uncivilly or bit you please let me know at my talk page - I'd appreciate any feedback you have for me. If you ever need anything, just drop by my userspace and I'll respond to your comment as soon as I see it. See you around, and keep up the great work!

Regards,
Anthonycfc ^{[T • C]} 20:31, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations!

I just noticed that The Lord of the Rings (1978 film) has been promoted to featured article. Congratulations. I've mentioned it at WikiProject Middle-earth over here. As I said there, would you (or any other film editors - I'm assuming you edit mainly film articles, from looking at your contributions list) be interested in working on any of the film articles in Category:Middle-earth adaptations? Please feel free to reply here or at the WikiProject talk page. Thanks. Carcharoth 23:40, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the quick reply. Carcharoth 23:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Whoah

Too fast, too fast! There's not enough time for me to find new problems :-D. Anyway, I can't find anything else specific that's a problem. It perhaps could do with a little more expansion, if there's any information left in sources but aside from that, looks good. Trebor 23:59, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Wizards (film)

The article Wizards (film) you nominated as a good article has passed , see Talk:Wizards (film) for eventual comments about the article. Good luck in future nominations.. I would appreciate it if you'd take a look at The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, for GA although please don't feel obliged to. BigHairRef | Talk 02:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The uncited source you mentioned in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has been removed DurinsBane87 10:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look at the GA nomination. I came to say I've changed it (notes on the talk page if you're interested), but it seems that someone beat me to it. If you're after someone to look at an article in the future I'll be hapy to help. Thanks again! BigHairRef | Talk 12:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Tenacious D

Is it okay if I remove the article from Category:Articles with unsourced statements now. I have lead a citing drive and did not think the article has unsourced statements.

I would put this article back up for nomination if you felt I had covered all the unsourced statements.

Please get back to me.

Tenacious D Fans (talk) 14:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Please point them out. I will cite them if you do this. Thanks. Tenacious D Fans (talk) 14:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

That's true. I think there is some POV, so it needs removed. Any more? Tenacious D Fans (talk) 14:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll delete the categories (they are unnecessary just now). Can I renominate this? Tenacious D Fans (talk) 15:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I removed the categories. Tenacious D Fans (talk) 15:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Should I remove the notice that the page failed the good article nomination? Tenacious D Fans (talk) 15:09, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot. I have dealt with it now and renominated. I decided to remove the failed to pass good article status notice. Thanks again. Tenacious D Fans (talk) 15:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Hi Ibaranoff, it's been a week since you put the above article on hold. Is there any chance you could make a decision one way or another? THanks in advance. BigHairRef | Talk 17:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Ed Wood user box

I made a custom version of the user box for myself.

It says:

This user thinks that Ed Wood is the worst director of 
all time, and he loves him for this very reason.

Do you think it would be OK to put this text in the "regular" version of the user box as well?

Freak Out!

You've taken care of some specific examples I gave, but those were just examples; the entire text needs a copy edit. To be honest I think the article is at the peer review stage, and I'd also recomment that you go through the good article process. I can see from the diffs that you have done great work to bring it to this stage, but my overall impression is that the article is still brief, and lack critical insight (as I said there is an abundance of sources out there). To bring it to FA standard the article would need a good copy edit, but also significant expansion. Maybe use 1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) as a benchmark. I'll post more copy related comments over the weekend, but more substantive work needs to be done. Ceoil 23:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Mmm, my openion would be 'B' class. My offer of helping with the prose stands - when you do add more content, gimme a bell. Ceoil 23:37, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Good job getting those done so quickly. I just wanted to let you know so the article doesn't get quick-failed. I don't assess film articles since I usually make mention of them in the newsletter and Spotlight department, so I don't want people to think that I'm biased in passing them.

Hey, I've been accumulating news headlines via Google Alerts about this film. I'm hoping to help improve it from its rather shoddy state. I'll try to put up some decent citations on the film article's talk page when I get the chance. —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 21:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Your Grindhouse Edit War

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.

Please stop assuming ownership of articles. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to a block from editing.

Actually, I agree with yer edits. Don't agree how you are going about doin' it. Stop picking on other editors. Page Ownership violation, big no no. Work w/ editors on talk page instead of editwar Tromaintern 23:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Fritz the Cat (film) copyedit

Hi! I'm with the WP:LoCE and have completed my copyedit of Fritz the Cat. There were several points where I had questions/issues, which I noted in hidden comments in the text. Generally, one copyeditor works on FAC/FAR requests, so feel free to let me know if you have questions or need me to take a second look. Thanks! Galena11 21:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

• I'm reviewing the changes that you made and everything looks good. I have one more question:

In the lead, you say that "Its success led to a slew of other X-rated animated films", but in the Rating section, you only discuss two films that were released before (?) Fritz. I almost cut the last paragraph of the Rating section because I didn't think it was wholly relevant to the article. It would be better to replace that paragraph with information about the X-rated films that came out after Fritz, thereby supporting your claim of a "slew" of films. Otherwise, I'd suggest removing the "slew" reference in the lead and remove the last paragraph of Rating altogether. Galena11 14:59, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

New paragraph looks great. I think any FA potential copyedit concerns have been addressed. Good luck with FA! Galena11 17:20, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Fritz the Cat, looking FA

Thanks for letting me know about the Changes to the article Fritz the Cat. I am happy with the changes made and will change to Supporting the article for FA status. I think people need to look at the Article for its Content and not weather they like the Subject. This page reflects a lot of Hard Work, and should be recognized for that, Thanks Max 20:01, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey -- just so you know, i've got the FAC on my watchlist. No need to keep leaving the duplicate message on my talk page. Thanks. Mangojuice^talk 16:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Grindhouse (film)

I was wondering if you could help me get the article up to GA standards. I see that you were working on the article in the pass and you have much more GA experience for film articles then I do. I probably nominated it too soon anyway, especially with it being in the top 100 viewed articles on Wikipedia. I guess I need to wait for the anons to stop adding the trivia section and inflating the plot sections. Besides these issues, do you think you can help me address the points brought up on the talk page? If you can't that's fine, I'll be able to wait and keep reworking it. --Nehrams2020 22:45, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I forgot about them. I used them before for my Oklahoma City bombing article and they helped quite a bit. Thanks for making the mention there though. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 22:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Good job on the recent cleanup of the page. For the two images of Tarantino and Rodriguez, they have two watermarks at the bottom. I think the images need to be reuploaded and the image be cropped or other replacement images be found. --Nehrams2020 17:46, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Great work on getting it passed as GA. I guess I should have waited to give you the barnstar now, otherwise I would have given it to you again. I'll mention its passing in the newsletter and Spotlight department. --Nehrams2020 22:05, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Movie_dvd_cover_caligula.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Movie_dvd_cover_caligula.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigrTex 19:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for noticing the image. I was indeed in doubt about how big images are allowed. Is 300px the max? (I intend to upload few more screnshots, so we have a larger menu of images to choose from to help the Zappa article.) Cheers! --HJensen, talk 18:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

{{Exploitation-film-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created a new stub type. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 01:33, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Monsieur Verdoux

What content other than plot or ending details do you expect in the "Plot" section? You apparently think it is an exception from the spoiler/disclaimer guideline, so please explain why the heading is insufficient. Kusma (talk) 12:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The Great Dictator

You might want to rethink the placement of the "Spoilers end here" information in the article. Kusma (talk) 13:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Spoilers

Please stop reinserting inappropriate spoiler warnings. The em,ergent consensus is pretty well clear by now: spoiler warnings are redundant in pretty much every plot or synopsis section, and always in classic works such as The Great Dctator (after nearly 70 years the cat is definitely out of the bag by now).
