Your editing edit
I know you haven't been on Wikipedia long, and some of the way we do things here may seem strange at first or you might not agree with them. I'm reaching out in good faith to suggest that some of your actions have been aggressive and nonconstructive.
First of all, it doesn't help to be uncivil and leaving edit summaries such as "REWROTE THIS FANTASTICALLY POORLY WRITTEN ADVERTISEMENT OF A SECTION TO BE VAGUELY ACCEPTABLE. SERIOUSLY, WHO IN THE FUCK WROTE THIS SHIT?" "WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU CAPITALIZE THE WORD 'TRAILER'" and "you fucking nincompoop." There's no need for all-caps typing or that kind of language. We try to be civil and collegial here.
Second, Wikipedia is not a source of WP:INDISCRIMINATE information. If Gunn were a scientist, his views on science would have a place in his article. But he is not, and his opinion about topics outside that for which he is known are non-notable. Think about it: Everyone has opinions about everything. Do we include Einstein's opinions about baseball? Or Sarah Palin's opinions on filmmaking?
Finally, when you're reverted, the protocol, per WP:BRD, is not to edit-war but to take your concerns to the talk page. If you can't find satisfaction there, you can ask for third-party mediation or take other steps, such as an WP:RfC or arbitration. In the interest of working constructively, I ask you to take your concerns to Talk:James Gunn (filmmaker). --Tenebrae (talk) 03:06, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- That would be nice, but there are plenty of other non-scientist celebrities who are noted for science enthusiasm and also advocating against pseudoscientific (such as antivaxx things) whose pages show this. Otherwise, say, Jenny McCarthy's antivaxx advocacy wouldn't be mentioned on her page given that she is not a scientist. Wikipedia Wonderful 698-D (talk) 15:25, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
- Jenny McCarthy is in the news because of her anti-vax stance, and that has become part of her notability. James Gunn is not in the news for this, and we don't include subjects' opinions on every cherry-picked topic.
- You have continued to violate WP:BRD, which says that after you were first reverted, you go to the article's talk page to try to generate consensus from fellow editors for your proposed addition. Rather than do that, you are slow-motion edit-warring. If you continue to simply refuse to follow Wikipedia rules and procedures, and reinsert this WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:SOAPBOX edit, I will be forced to ask for admin intervention to WP:BAN you editing that page. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:10, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- It is as at the very least relevant as Category:Science fiction fans. There are plenty of other pages detailing celebrities' criticism of anti-vax or their enthusiasm for science. --Wikipedia Wonderful 698-D (talk) 04:22, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP issues at Phil Mason edit
Hello. I wanted to explain why I reverted you edit to Phil Mason. A self-published video on YouTube is sometimes allowable as a source on Wikipedia, but per WP:BLPSELFPUB, it would have to make no claims about a third party. This obvious did. You also labeled Mason as a conspiracy theorist, which is something that would have to be done by a secondary reliable source, such as professional journalist in a newspaper article.
