Hi. When you recently edited List of films considered the best, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages John Hughes and Brat Pack (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nomination of List of films considered the best for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of films considered the best is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films considered the best until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.. Thank you, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:18, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Documentary

[edit]

Well, first because it is not my responsibility to clean up other people's messes. I've been working on some articles for years because I have a real life that needs to be taken care of before Wikipedia. Otherwise, all of the film articles would be up to my standard. That said, I'm certainly not going to leave it as it is, because I do not condone pages that quote mysterious sources and start talking about IMDb. Secondly, that documentary is in no way as relevant as ANY of those films, not even the horrid nightmare that is Jason X. This is supported by the fact that they are working on another documentary that will repeat the same information, and it's only been a few years since they released this previous one. If it was so "relevant", you'd think it would stand the test of time longer than 3 years. I do agree that it deserves more than a paragraph of space on the franchise page, but that paragraph of space is at least sourced information. Looking at what is on the page I redirected, there are some low-end critics reviewing the documentary, and some quotes from Farrands on what brought him to the film. Some of his information is a little wordy, and could be trimmed to be more succinct, but worthy of being included if the source could be found. I don't believe in creating pages for the sake of having them. I believe in a heirarchy of starting from the top down and expanding when it is truly necessary.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:14, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spaces

Why do you remove spaces from headers? Are you aware that the Wikipedia default is to have them? And that they add clarity to the screen view Debresser (talk) 23:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You Can Make History (Young Again)

[edit]

Hello Ss112,

I've noticed that it was you who created the article 'You Can Make History (Young Again)'......a very fine article might I add!

See: http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=You_Can_Make_History_(Young_Again)&oldid=513821549

However, in the article, you say: "The song was released strictly as a promotional recording to radio stations across North America". This simply isn't true.

It was released as a cassette single in the US and had a catalogue number of MCACS-55222 - the b-side incidentally was 'Song For Guy'.

See for yourself: http://991.com/buy/productinformation.aspx?StockNumber=78930

It was one of three cassette-only singles that Elton released in the US by the way. Do you know what the other two are?

All the best,

Standingfish (talk) 01:58, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again,
The reason why I decided to notify you of your error, rather than correcting it myself, was to avoid a potential editing dispute......(been there, done that, got the tee-shirt!)
You displayed specialist knowledge of the subject matter upon creating the article, far greater than mine, so you would have been well within your rights to revert my edits had I not referenced them.
In this case however, it wouldn't have been necessary to reference my edits......as information on the format of singles on Wikipedia is never referenced. Just thought I'd explain my reasons!
I've deleted the part about it being a "promotional recording to radio stations across North America" because virtually every one of Elton John's US and Canadian singles started life as a "promotional recording to radio stations across North America". This one is no different to any other so it isn't necessary to include this information.
Cassette-only singles were very rare for Elton John. All his cassette singles in the UK were accompanied by 7", 12" or CD releases. In the US however, he made three......'You Gotta Love Someone' (1990), 'The Last Song' (1992) and 'You Can Make History (Young Again)' (1996).
Kind regards,

The article The 3rd Degree has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unreferenced since November 2006, and hard to find independent sources on the internet

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Edit summaries

[edit]

Hi, nothing wrong with your edits, but your usual edit summary of "fixed things" is really vague, and doesn't describe very accurately what you've done. Occasionally vandals use edit summaries like that to try and hide their vandalism, so it doesn't look great. Any chance of being a bit more specific? Capitalisation, grammar, formatting (etc) fixes, for example. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:57, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, it would just be a bit clearer. IPs can leave edit summaries and I've seen vandalism covered up that way. At the other extreme, some editors leave summaries like this [1] – not sure that kind of detail is all that necessary! ;) Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:11, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your Revert

[edit]

Your charming attitude in the edit summary aside, edits like this are the pinnacle of why we don't slavishly attend to AWB style guides in certain instances. And this is coming from someone who's done easily done a large proportion of AWB edits. But your edit is all but incomprehensible to anyone experienced on Wikipedia, let alone a new editor.

Even of those that are experienced, it adds nothing, except a slavish devotion to using a template to remove plurals from the piped link and instead stick them on the end of the link instead. That change was only widely accepted imo because AWB implemented them. This is one of those examples where it destroys the readability of the code by all but the most robotic reader.

So, don't keep going on reverting edits you made, or making more like this without discussion. The BRD cycle relies on you being bold in making a change, someone reverting it, and then you discussing... not you reverting an explained complaint with no new response, on the talk or in your edit summary, which is heavy on emotion and lacking on fact. Shadowjams (talk) 05:30, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While we're at it, could you point me to the MOS guide that indicates converting Xs to the ascii symbol presumably for multiplication.... as you did here and in one before it. It should go without saying that putting in strange characters that look indistinguishable makes it impossible to search for things, might screw up a host of other scripts and search patterns, and has almost no useful effect, other than, again, a slavish devotion to some standard (that I have yet to see). If you want to find something interesting, try searching for "×" as opposed to "x", right now Wikipedia's search function is returning a "backend error" for me when it's searched.
I don't have any problem with your gnomeish edits as a whole, but I do have issue with some of your more aggressive ones (when it's all you're changing) and they break other things, whether that's searching, reader understanding, or something else, and for 0 reader advantage. The MOS is here to make it easier for readers. Shadowjams (talk) 05:41, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
