Bubba Ho-Tep

Sorry I got carried away and removed one too many items from WP:RMTR. I might be able to close the RM discussion, but how would you feel about Bubba Ho-Tep as the permanent title, rather than Bubba Ho-tep? EdJohnston (talk) 17:10, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Seeing that the IMDb page seems to have that title, that would make sense. Corvoe (speak to me) 15:41, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Replied on my talk. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:27, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Elysium

Not sure why you deleted the release information on the page. An edit summary would be helpful. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 18:19, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Mobile edits are the worst. My edit summaries only show up every once in awhile. To answer your question, it's per WP:FILMRELEASE. Only the first release date and the release date of the country of origin are to be included. Seeing as, in this case, those are one in the same, only the US release date should be used. I can explain the language removal as well. Corvoe (speak to me) 18:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

OK, I trust you. Didn't know about the mobile thing, which sucks. Carry on. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 18:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dying Light, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Action adventure (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.

UK

We don't generally do this; Scotland is enough detail to locate him, and UK adds nothing. See WP:UKNATIONALS for a perceptive essay on the complexities of this situation. --John (talk) 14:03, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

I can honestly say I see UK on the end of a lot of articles, but even still, infobox person states that birthplace should include sovereign state, which at present, Scotland isn't. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Uh huh. You'll find this is a controversial area. Read the essay, consider whether your edit will have real utility for readers, and then come back to me. --John (talk) 14:54, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Wow that's complicated. Controversial might be understating it, if there's this many different interpretations and ideas. Thank you for bringing that to my attention, I won't change it back. Corvoe (speak to me) 15:31, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

No problem, my pleasure. --John (talk) 15:44, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi Corvoe. Thanks for the heads up on the ANI. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:39, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Sure thing. Sorry that went down how it did. Also, I hope you don't mind, but I split your comment into a new section. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

These things happen. He shot himself in his own foot/head with the edit-warring anyway. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 20:46, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Conduct

Hello, considering that you have recently become a regular in the WikiProject Film community, I strongly encourage you not to follow some other editors' example in getting involved with disputes. In the case of No Other Woman (1933 film), the side discussion about Beyond My Ken's signature is irrelevant, and Lugnuts hardly adheres to the policy of civility in not being able to "behave politely, calmly and reasonably". One of my personal mantras is to focus on content, a key aspect of dispute resolution. This antagonism is frustratingly an ongoing pattern with part of the community, and I hope you will not be part of that. I've commented on this previously, and you can see it here. Thanks, Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:01, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I quickly learned my lesson on that one, thanks to a couple admins. I wasn't entirely sure how to handle it, but I thought it looked like something that ought to be reported, so I did. I wasn't trying to antagonize BMK, it just seemed like he was antagonizing Lugnuts. I'm realizing now that these two really just don't seem to get along. I'm now aware of the process I should go through versus the one I actually went through. Thank you for the heads up. It's greatly appreciated. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! Just so you know, you can use the {{user link}} or {{ping}} template to get my attention back here. For what it's worth, the policy of civility is one that is hard to enforce. Editors can be held accountable for clear personal attacks, but low-level uncivil behavior is not commonly punished. An editor can be condescending (as you saw at the WT:FILM notice) and "get away" with it. This especially applies to editors who make valuable contributions to the encyclopedia; they are tolerated even though they're just not pleasant. It comes down to one's general attitude. Wikipedia has been around quite a few years now, and a lot of editors that are still around are going to be relatively hard-headed. My fear is that this leads to preventing new editors from joining, or if they do join, they adapt a similar bullying mentality. I'm trying my best to call out such behavior to make sure it is not seen as the norm. Aspects of my (attempted) editing philosophy are focusing on content, reverting as little as possible, and assuming good faith. I don't want to go on forever, so I'll wrap up here. :) Any questions, let me know. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:33, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Thank you, good tip. Definitely gonna start using this from now on. And you're welcome! I'm usually pretty good with replying to people here, or at least I try to be. I certainly appreciate what you're doing, and (while misguided) it was what I attempted to do in regards to those two. Thank you for all the tips, I can obviously use them. And you don't have to cut yourself off, I'll take all the advice you have to give. I've been around for a few years, but I'm practically an infant in the realm of film articles. On a barely related note, what's going on with the changes at Template:Infobox film? Are we implementing Darkwarriorblake's wording? I'm not really sure how adding/changing stuff on a template works. Do we open it to a vote? Corvoe (speak to me) 17:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the film infobox, I really should review the discussion that has taken place since my last comment. (If there's one thing I am guilty of, it's leaving things unfinished. Just see my "projects" on my user page.) In this case, you could post a notice at WT:FILM to remind editors of the discussion and to highlight Blake's proposed wording. It seems flexible enough at first glance.

As for working with other editors, I often use this link to find ongoing discussions and weigh in if it helps. I'd like to hope that I've headed off a few hostile discussions that way. I find reverting a pretty messy business. If two editors begin edit warring, that escalates the situation and makes it more difficult to reconcile. I try to revert a lot less than I used to, especially if the content is not vandalism. Very few of our articles are immaculate, so it is not the end of the world if the content stays (or does not make an appearance). In the case of No Other Woman, all the new reverts stuck me as, "We need to get this content off this article pronto!" My preference is to try to come to a new situation without making any actual edits and to engage the involved editors in discussion, referencing policies and guidelines and similar examples on other film articles. I think it helps to recognize value where it exists. Like in the case of BMK, he overhauled that article, but we're all focused on eradicating that one passage. I would prefer the mentality to be, "Nice work on the article! I'm not sure about this note... can we add more detail about her role? Can we place it elsewhere that makes more sense?" rather than, "Eh, it's trivia, get rid of it. In fact, I'll do it now." Also worth knowing that inexperienced editors will not be as familiar with policies and guidelines like we are. I've seen long-time editors get fed up because their experience of newbie conduct is accumulated. Each new editor is a blank slate, so it requires patience to explain these policies and guidelines to them. It's going to feel to us like it's over and over, but for the other person, it would be the first time they're learning that. One example I like to recall is at Talk:Snitch (film), where I talked to an IP editor here to resolve a dispute about adding a name. I had reverted a couple of times as seen here but decided to let the edit stay. After discussion over a couple of days, we agreed about removing the name. It won't always resolve that nicely, of course, so one would seek out other opinions (which is different from other reverts by other editors).

On the flip side of that kind of thing, you may want to contribute something that other editors may not agree to. There may turn out to be a consensus against you in that regard. In these situations, if you've made your case as much as possible, it's okay to just walk away. In a way, that's why I prefer working on films. I can't imagine getting caught up in articles about political hot-button issues. To that end, it helps to diversify your interests. I think there are some editors who make only specific edits across Wikipedia (adding external links, writing information a specific way, etc.) that are going to blow up if the consensus is against them for doing that. Obviously, the more familiar one gets with policies and guidelines, the less that you'll deal with this. But speaking from personal experience, I do try to do new things, and it can be an uphill battle. For example, at Interstellar (film), I advocated adding a crew list under "Production" even though that is not the norm, and you can see a discussion about that on the talk page.

Ultimately, don't take editing too seriously. :) You should derive some sort of fun out of what you do. (I personally get a kick out of seeing readers flock to a new article like List of films featuring the United States Navy SEALs, which I made for readers of Lone Survivor (film).) But it's just a website at the end of the day. It can be easy to get caught up in one's own work and not want changes, but I think it can help to give an edit a day or two to realize that it's really just fine or not worth keeping. Anyway, I am glad to see a new face around WikiProject Film and hope you'll stick around despite these challenges. If you ever want to collaborate on an article, I'm pretty big on researching. Let me know! Regards, Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 18:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

All very good tips, I'll be sure to keep them all in mind. Thank you so much. At present, I'm working on an article for a cinematographer, Brandon Trost, and I'm having a lot of trouble finding sources about him. I've found a handful of interviews in relation to some of his films, but I can't find anything notable to extract. As it stands, his article is a one source pony. Any help in that field would be fantastic. Also, in the event that you've never heard of him, he's been the DOP for a few Rob Zombie films, the Ghost Rider sequel, and more recently, for some raunchy comedies like This Is the End, That Awkward Moment, and Neighbors. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:14, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Sure, I can help! The first place I started was the NewsDesk section of Trost's IMDb page, seen here. I found this by Dread Central, and I think that that can be considered a reliable source. This is another interview I found. One possible resource is the magazine American Cinematographer. Its domain is ascmag.com, so you can Google for "brandon trost" site:ascmag.com and find a couple of results. They may be behind paywalls, but I can see if I can pull anything. It helps to track down sources through clues. For example, this mentions that Trost and his siblings grew up in Frazier Park, and including that place in a search led to this. Hope these can be useful! Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Pardon my French, but holy shit. You just helped out a LOT. I'd only seen the Dread Central interview (I'll have to look that over again), and you just helped me out immensely. I won't be able to incorporate any of this until at least Sunday (I've actually been in a car on the way to Toronto for my grandma's funeral for the last five hours), but I'll definitely get to it soon. Thank you so much, man. This is a gigantic help :) Corvoe (speak to me) 20:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

My condolences about your grandmother. I'm glad to be of help. Feel free to drop me a note any time. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 20:03, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Thank you. And you have been. I'll be sure to come to you if I need help digging stuff up. Corvoe (speak to me) 20:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I pulled a couple of American Cinematographer sources for you that mention Trost. They're in PDF form. When you get back, email me, and I can send them to you. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: I don't have your email address. Also, how would I source what you send me in an email? Just upload it publicly somewhere? Corvoe (speak to me) 21:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

You can go to my user page and choose "Email this user" in the sidebar under "Tools". My email address is a Wikipedia-specific one that forwards to my regular one. If you don't have one, I recommend setting one up. If you prefer me to upload it somewhere publicly instead, let me know where I can. I can't think of a quick place to dump a PDF. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 22:04, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Missed the last part of your question. Being verifiable does not mean it has to be online. It definitely helps, but it's not required. Check out American Beauty (film) and the Probst American Cinematographer references used in it. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 22:17, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: I went to your userpage and I don't see any email address option. Is it an expansion I need to download or what? Corvoe (speak to me) 00:47, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Ah, looks like you do need to activate it. See "Email options" at Special:Preferences. I saw your comment about The East but will respond tomorrow. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 03:28, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Congrats on the DYK! Nice spike in traffic! :) Hope you're doing well since we last talked. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 02:08, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! Don't sell yourself short, you were a massive help. And yeah, traffic went through the roof for a bit there. This was a very enlightening experience. I'm probably gonna go for it with the next few articles I make. And I've even doing well. How are you? Corvoe (speak to me) 02:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Glad to be of help and to introduce you to DYk. All's well, been too swamped to do much heavy editing. Saw Frozen and Rush recently, and both were really more impressive than I expected. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 02:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

You weren't sure about Frozen? I'm glad you liked it! I adored it. And I've yet to see Rush. I'll see it eventually. Corvoe (speak to me) 02:22, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

I was of the camp that got a glimpse of the previews and thought it was going to be standard fare. But then I read coverage and comments that basically said, it's a deeper film than the advertising lets on. Plus, it had serious box office legs, so could tell that word-of-mouth was strong. So, worth the watch! :) Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 03:29, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

I personally was excited by the trailers, because it looked like a PG animated movie that would actually have some clever writing and direction (the guys behind 21 Jump Street wrote and directed it). I honestly want to see it again, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:03, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

WP:AIV overwrite my contribution

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that you apparently overwrote my report to WP:AIV with this edit which explains why an disruptive IP did not get blocked. It was most likely unintentional but I wanted to let you know so that it wont happen in the future. QED237 (talk) 13:11, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Apologies for that, it was completely accidental. I saw there was an edit conflict, but I simply adjusted and added mine. You must've posted that between the initial edit conflict and my post. Not sure how that got lost in translation, but I'll be sure to double check next time. Thanks! Corvoe (speak to me) 13:14, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

No problem, I totally understand. Just wanted to inform you of what have happened. QED237 (talk) 13:16, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to review Iron Man 3! I was also wondering, if you were planning on reviewing any other pages, if you could consider the one for Marvel Cinematic Universe? Myself and a few other editors have been working hard since it's first review to make it better, and we feel it's at a great point for it to be done. Again, only if you have the time and were planning on doing another review. But mainly, thanks again for the Iron Man 3 pass. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:54, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Apologies, I just now saw this. I'll definitely give it a look when I get home. And I'm happy to pass a very well-done article. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:49, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

No worries. On second thought, can we give the potential MCU page review a pause? We are currently discussion some splitting options to help out in the long run for a Good Topic nom, so we may be delisting and then relisting the article. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:46, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

An RfC that you may be interested in...

As one of the previous contributors to {{Infobox film}} or as one of the commenters on it's talk page, I would like to inform you that there has been a RfC started on the talk page as to implementation of previously deprecated parameters. Your comments and thoughts on the matter would be welcomed. Happy editing!

Rush

Corvoe, I just realized that you did revert me again. I kindly ask you to refrain from removing sourced, long standing content. You did not mind having "British-American" in the lead - what makes it now a bit look like a double standard. British-German, or (better) Anglo-German, Franco-German, etc. is a very common terminology used in historical publications, in journalism, and also in the film industry. There is no WP policy that bans this terminology from the lead - and you will find it in the lead of lots of film related articles. Rush is a British-German co-production, and the film was shot on location in the United Kingdom, Germany and Austria. Filming took place at several motor racing circuits in England, and at the Nürburgring in Germany - not to mention the Anglo-German/Austrian story, cast, etc. Please follow the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, which means retaining the status before the bold edit was made and reverted; i.e. "leave the article in the condition it was in before the Bold edit was made" (often called the status quo ante). No hard feelings! Many thanks, --IIIraute (talk) 04:15, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for that, I didn't realize that you had changed it. I've kinda changed my stance on nationality in the lede as of late, in that if there's more than one country of origin, I tend to remove it. I didn't remove the sources (just moved them), but I'll leave it there now. My bad. I greatly appreciate your civility with me, by the way. It's a commodity now, in that everyone gets hostile after I do one thing combatting something on an article they've done a lot of work on. I appreciate the fact that you actually discuss things with me immensely. Thank you. Corvoe (speak to me) 11:29, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you Corvoe. I was very pleased about your message - I very much appreciate your friendly response. Keep in touch! --IIIraute (talk) 03:48, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Happy to! Be sure to ask if you need any help on any articles, I'm a big fan of collaborating with people. Corvoe (speak to me) 11:20, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Ender's Game (film)

Hello Corvoe. Please revise your comment under the revert for Ender's Game (film). Your comment is based on an assumption, and places a negative context on an Actress due to a comment made by an unrelated 3rd party (me). Also if it is of any relevance, she is listed above Admiral Chjamrajnager in the credits of the movie which is why I decided to include her (also the fact that she is the only Professor of the Battle School ever shown). That is perhaps irrelevant, but it is the reason I included her. Please note, I have no affiliation with the Actress or any of her agencies. 198.160.96.7 (talk) 20:08, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I can't revise any previous edit summaries (trust me, I would love to be able to). I apologize for that comment. I agree that it was unnecessarily negative, and unnecessary in general. All I'm able to do is apologize, though. I saw that you added a Cinema Blend source, definitely a good idea. You're welcome to add the character's name now that it's been sourced that she has one. Apologies again for my rash assumption, and thank you for your contribution! Corvoe (speak to me) 00:35, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Absolutely no worries at all. I am a bit of a wiki-newbie. Thank you for your patience. 24.144.63.121 (talk) 00:58, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Including personal information in biographies

Hello, Corvoe.

I have removed the date of birth from the article on Craig Owens again. As I explained here, our biographies of living persons policy does not permit the inclusion of birth dates unless they are widely published by reliable sources (a single source does not suffice) or if it is published somewhere that makes clear the subject does not object. If he publishes it on his own website, for instance, it's fair game. Please review WP:DOB. This policy is very important, and we need to conform to it in every article. In this case, it's particularly crucial, as Owens complained about this article years ago. It must conform to policy. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:04, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Sang Wook Cheong

Hello Corvoe. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Sang Wook Cheong, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Agree it is terrible at the moment, but I hope to be able to salvage something. with and h-index of 92 we should have an article about him. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 17:36, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Corvoe. I'd appreciate your feedback on a proposed section, regarding the RT Community, being added to the main RoosterTeeth page. I've detailed it a bit more in the talk section.

Revert of my edits on Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield articles

Hi. I noticed you have assumed good faith and reverted my edits on the Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield articles, and provided a reason for reverting as well. However, on the Template:Infobox person page, the definition of the "partner" parameter is: "For unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference), not business partners. Use the format Name (1950–present) for current partner and Name (1970–1999) for former partner(s)."

Furthermore the Life partner page defines: "A life partner is a romantic or otherwise very close friend for life. The partners can be of the same or opposite sexes, married or unmarried, and celibate, monogamous or polyamorous." It is pretty obvious that they're having a romantic relationship. So I don't see why it's not logical to add Stone on Garfield's page and vice-versa. NiR_insanity 17:51, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I appreciate your coming here instead of blindly reverting me. It shows a lot of integrity and respect, and it's not lost on me. That being said, I take issue with your interpretation of the phrase "life partner". You neglected the key point: for life. A celebrity relationship between two mid-20-year-olds is not anywhere close to being a life partnership. If they have kids, if they get engaged, I'll restore your edits myself. But a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship is not a life partnership, especially considering that significant other has its own page, which is what these two are to each other.

Think about it this way: If we included EVERY boyfriend and girlfriend that notable people had, Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp would have five women in their "partners" sections, as all of them were famous. It's just not worth including until it appears to be something more than a relationship. I appreciate your edits, though, and would be happy to collaborate with you further. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:09, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Now that you mentioned DiCaprio and Depp, it makes a lot of sense. Thanks for clarifying. Peace! NiR_insanity 04:46, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Happy to. Thank you for being so open to working with me! Corvoe (speak to me) 09:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello! I don't usually look in other people's conversations, but I couldn't help it when I saw something on Johnny Depp. I LOVE HIM! IBCPirates (talk) 17:52, 12 April 2014 (UTC)IBCPirates17:52, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Movie Lover!

Hello! I heard that you really, really like movies! I DO TOO! Have you seen the Master of Disguise? Mousehunt? Pirates of the Caribbean? Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind? Zombieland? Sorry if I'm weirding you out a little! XD — Preceding unsigned comment added by IBCPirates (talk • contribs) 17:49, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

I know I'm being annoying by asking all of these questions, but do you like the Lord of the Rings? IBCPirates (talk) 17:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)IBCPirates17:53, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

You aren't being annoying! I don't mind chatting about films, it's basically all I do in my free time :P I'm merging your two questions and answering them all at once though:

I own Master of Disguise, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Zombieland, and all three Lord of the Rings films. I've seen Nausicaa once, because I absolutely adore Hayao Miyazaki. I've never seen MouseHunt, but I'm a big Nathan Lane fan and Gore Verbinski is a good director, so I'd be interested to watch it. Thanks for asking! Always nice to talk about films. Corvoe (speak to me) 21:50, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Okay, that's good! The Master of Disguise is completely AWESOME! I literally am in love with Pirates of the Caribbean, (more Johnny Depp XD ) and I'm not sure why everybody is so obsessed with Frozen. In my opinion, it's not a really good movie. Your picture kind of looks like the guy who plays Bilbo in the Hobbit. Just saying. --IBCPirates (talk) 19:17, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of The FP

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article The FP you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Onel5969 -- Onel5969 (talk) 01:01, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I think you misunderstood my comment about the "costume" argument in the FU rationale. I was asking if you had changed it, not because I thought you hadn't, but because I thought I had missed it originally. It works, for me, now. But be aware, I'm not an expert on FU policy on wiki. I've gotten nailed a couple of times because of my lack of understanding, which I guess is why I'm so sensitive to it. Regarding the reviews issue, I just think, as it reads now, it's confusing as to the way the film was received between the screenings, premiere and release. When you go to move it up to FA, this will be an issue. It isn't for GA.Onel5969 (talk) 01:28, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

@Onel5969: Ahh, I see what you're saying now. I'm also not an expert on the FU policy, but based on what I've read (and other articles I've seen), I feel pretty safe. Worst case scenario, I have to remove the image and replace it with something else.

As for the review wording, I'll have to brainstorm. I think I have something that might work, I just changed it now. The beginning of critical response now reads "The film's early screenings, at South by Southwest and other film festivals, were met with positive reviews." Do you think that's better? And by saying when I move it to FA, are you thinking you're going to pass it? Corvoe (speak to me) 01:39, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Much better. Simple change. World of difference.Onel5969 (talk) 01:49, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Soundtrack cover images

Hey, Ed! (Should I call you that?) Regarding The Wolf of Wall Street (2013 film), I removed the soundtrack cover image you uploaded because per MOS:FILM#Soundtrack. Since we want to limit non-free images, the poster image is sufficient for identifying the topic as a whole. Any additional non-free images should have critical commentary related to it (in this kind of case, commentary about the cover itself). Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:57, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: I don't mind it from you, I'd say we know each other well enough at this point :P I'm glad you removed it, I wasn't aware of that policy. I'll be sure to look out for other film articles that do the same thing. Thanks! Corvoe (speak to me) 16:48, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Metallica Through the Never

"Horseman" was correct; see: Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

"A literal horseman of the Apocalypse, wielding a gigantic mallet and wearing a gas mask, gallops after him." --IIIraute (talk) 21:12, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

@IIIraute: You're gonna have to explain that better. The film itself, both in the credits and the interviews with the director, refer to him as "The Rider". Symbolically, he represents a horseman, but his character's name is the Rider. Corvoe (speak to me) 21:17, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Wolf of Wall Street Accolades page

Hi. I think we should consider removing Awardscircuit and IGN from the list of accolades for Wolf of Wall Street for non-notability as they don't yet have a separate page on wiki. For Awardscircuit, it seems it like it was voted on as an internet poll of users of a website which again strikes against its notability. Similarly for the Gravity accolades page: Awardscircuit, Gold derby, IGN, Nevada, North Carolina and UK regional film awards should be removed. Cowlibob (talk) 12:29, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: I wish I could say these were my fault, but the majority were not. Apart from IGN (which I thought skirted by on notability), I never add redlinked awards. I agree that they should be removed, IGN included. Corvoe (speak to me) 13:27, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

I have cleaned up both pages. Corvoe (speak to me) 13:56, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

The FP

Hi. I thought I'd start a section regarding the article. As I see things, I'll pop them here, if that's okay.

• First, perhaps I missed it, but if it's not included yet, you should explain where the gang names come from (you do regarding the "187").
• Second, is this a comedy, or a black comedy. After reading the plot, it seems pretty dark. Onel5969 (talk) 18:08, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

@Onel5969: That works just fine. Firstly, I completely forgot to include that information. They explain on the featurettes that 245 and 248 were area codes that separated the north and south parts of the town. I'll watch through those again to see who said it. Secondly, I could only find source calling it a comedy. It's more a straight-faced parody than anything, as most of the funny parts are due to ridiculousness, not necessarily because of any jokes. I agree that it's pretty dark, but I'd have to find a good source backing that up. Corvoe (speak to me) 20:06, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

English-language

I think it is appropriate to use "English-language" to counter systemic bias on Wikipedia. I don't think that the absence of any language should mean we assume that it is English. When we say American or French or Chinese, we suggest that it is the home language. There can be cases of multinational productions which have a specific language, which can be a key characteristic of the film. In this case, if we're disputing if it's just American or British-American, then we should default to the common characteristic shared in either case. I don't see any specific guidelines about this, but there is a WikiProject at Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:42, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: The revert was based on personal belief. I don't think it's particularly useful to disambiguate the language at all, personally (the infobox does that job just fine). However, I know my opinion is not absolute. I won't revert you or anything if you restore it, but I'm unconvinced of its necessity or helpfulness. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:53, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Chad Smith/Will Ferrell

How is it irrelevant? It has been a ongoing joke feud between the two for many years and they will appear together on Jimmy Fallon next week for a charity drum-off. They have raised over $300,000 for their charities. It's a major event in both of their careers and should be included.Jason1978 (talk)

@Jason1978: See my comment on the talk page. I apologized for saying "irrelevant", as that's inaccurate. However, it's insanely overlong and does not deserve it's own section. Maybe a small paragraph under "Career" is appropriate, but not a huge, quote-filled subsection. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:22, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

@Jason1978: New section looks much better. Good work! Corvoe (speak to me) 17:30, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

I didn't see your first response before responding. I think being a major event in his career it needs to be placed under career, which is split into different sections and doesn't fit in any of those either. I agree the original posting was too filled with quotes. Thanks! Jason1978 (talk)

Looks like someone else has now removed this saying discuss on the Will Ferrell talk page however left no reasons for it's removal. I pointed out there already was a discussion on it and feel the information posted is important to Ferrell's bio since it's a major event not gaining more media attention than most of his recent films have.Jason1978 (talk)

My Colin Farrell revert

Thanks for your note. Angelina Jolie is known the world over for being an actress so putting that she's an actress would be redundant. Everyone else mentioned in the intro is known, maybe not as much as Jolie, but known to general interest readers. Nicole, however, is not, so sticks out like a sore thumb even if people can click on her name and find out who she is. Actaully, it looks even weirder that way because as a reader you think "Why is this woman's name linked? I've never heard of her." In reading, you always want people to "get it" and keep reading, not click away. Now people who don't know think, "Ah, she was a Playboy playmate. Okay." I don't think mentioning Nicole as a Playboy playmate is bloated at all: That's what she was known for and it illustrates the kind of fun Colin was having at the time. If she were a medical illustrator, I would have put that in, but it just so happens her most known job is to have been a Playboy playmate, so let's not discriminate against these people. Hope this helps!--Aichik (talk) 15:27, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

@Aichik: Thank you for the clarification. That does makes sense, actually. It saves the reader time from clicking on her name to figure out information we could list in the article. In my opinion, the inclusion of the parentheses in the lead, "(including Angelina Jolie and former Playboy playmate Nicole Narain)", is unneeded since it's listed later. I saw that the section was also reworded, clarifying who everyone was. I think this was a nice touch, personally.

All the same, thank you for the courteous reply! Corvoe (speak to me) 15:50, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

American Hustle Accolades page

Hi. Hope you're well. I've recently been doing work on this page with the aim of making it a featured list. Since you're the article creator, I thought it best to ask you whether you think it's ready for nomination and if so to nominate on my behalf. Cowlibob (talk) 11:14, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: Wow, you've done a lot of good work on it. Look at the featured list criteria, I would say that it's definitely read to go. I'd be happy to nominate it. Corvoe (speak to me) 12:48, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks! Hope we have luck on our side. Cowlibob (talk) 15:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Hey, we've had one quick review of this page for FLC. I think I've resolved most of the points. The mix of nomenclature was brought up. To resolve this, I hoped to changed all instances of the phrase "awards & nominations" to --> accolades and "wins and nominations" to --> awards and nominations". Is that ok? Cowlibob (talk) 17:04, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: That is exactly what I would've done, so yes. I apologize that I haven't been able to help much. Been working on a video series with friends, it's taking up a lot of time. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:37, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey. It's gonna soon be a month since our FLC nomination and we've only had the one review. I wonder if you had any ideas on how we could speed the process. Do you know anyone in WP:FILM or other FLC article creators who'd be willing to review? Hope you're having fun with your video series.Cowlibob (talk) 17:23, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm not very familiar with the featured list process, as I've never done this before. What we could try is posting a request for reviews at WT:FILM, maybe someone with spare time will pit by and give it a peek? Corvoe (speak to me) 17:28, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Worth a shot. Also I've in the past weeks: messaged Rambling Man (who gave us a quick review in response which is resolved), JuneGloom07, Another Believer, ChrisTheDude and Bloom6132. I don't know if it's worth messaging more people who've done Featured lists especially Film related ones. Cowlibob (talk) 19:29, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey. We have one more review. I think I've solved most of the issues. The only one left I think was to change the colour of the infobox background to non-blue so that it passes the WCAG AAA contrast test and doesn't clash with the blue text. http://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/ I'm unfamiliar with changing colours so was hoping you'd be able to sort it out.

Yes! They do look alike! And Sam Rockwell also looks like Peregrin Took. I don't know...I think it's either the nose or the eyes that make him look like Martin and Billy. If he shaved off that scrawggly beard (Quote from Jack Sparrow in "At World's End" XD) he'd look more like them. Actually, I think it's Sam's eyes that make him look like Billy and Martin.

X-Men: Days of the Future Past

Hey, Corvoe, you are welcome for my recent edits of the article. However, I have to ask you a favor. Can you request copy edit for the article on Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests? The rule for requesting is limited to two, and I already used up mine, so I am asking you to do it for me. The film's plot summary is getting too excessive details, might as well letting experienced copy editor to help getting it done. You can ask them to get the summary put to 700 words without omitting the important plot points.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 21:05, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

@NeoBatfreak: I actually have a tendency to copy-edit plot sections myself. I'm not a member of the Guild, but I'm heavily considering joining them. I'll give it a trim and see if you think it's good enough. If not, I'd be happy to request it. Corvoe (speak to me) 21:08, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

@TriiipleThreat: Eh, I guess. Reading it out loud sounds extremely weird to me, but I'll leave it. I'll get used to the uniformity of the MCU articles eventually. Corvoe (speak to me) 13:30, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

You changed my edit to A Million Ways to Die in the West

All I wrote that Jamie Foxx was listed in the cast list reprising his role as Django from Django Unchained. I have seen the film and Jamie Foxx is in it reprising the role of Django. I dont see why it was deleted.

The film isn't out yet, and we have no verifiable way of proving that he's in it. You could very well be right, and if you are and I can find a notable source to prove it, I will happily restore your edit. Worst case, it'll be restored tomorrow. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:05, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Ok thanks the film was released today in Australia thats why I wrote it.

I restored it! I apologize for not checking other release dates. I can't find a source that he was Django, so I'm gonna hold off on adding that. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:14, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

I just added to the page today the character Ryan Reynolds played and just wrote that Foxx was reprising his role from Django Unchained,

Erik call

@Erik:, my IP is currently blocked since I'm at school and some idiot was vandalizing. I'm sure you know how it is. So, I have to message you from my talk page. In regards to your last edit to Edge of Tomorrow, U.S. should have periods between it. That's all. Thank you :P Corvoe (speak to me) 13:53, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Sure, I changed it. However, looking at MOS:ABBR (search for "United States"), either way is acceptable. :) Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:14, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Due to a detailed Variety article about Edge of Tomorrow here, I rearranged the sections a little bit. Seems like the box office forecasting has become substantial enough for its own subsection, at least. And there's probably more marketing detail to add. I also updated the infobox to state 30 countries instead of just the UK. However, regarding the London part, I'm not sure if that should count since it is a closed and controlled event. I don't believe that reviews ever come out of these kinds of premieres, so I'm not sure if it should be classified as a release. (Not to mention that saying just "London" implies a public release.) What do you think? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:22, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Definitely agreed that pre-release tracking is worth a subsection. I'm perplexed by the "30 countries" change. The UK release was only included since they co-produced the film. I would personally advise against this, but I'm no rush to change it. You make a good point for the London premiere, and I think the change you've made is good for now. If we figure out the specific location of the London premiere (i.e. Leicester Square), we should change it to that. The London premiere will be the first premiere, so I think it should be specifically mentioned if more information comes out. Also, the premieres should count since the infobox is supposed to include its earliest release, "whether it was at a film festival, a world premiere, or a public release".

I'm gonna keep working on the article (I'm hoping we can get it up to GA soon after release) but you seem to have a very good grasp on what to do. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:07, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

UPDATE: Autoblock is gone. Victory. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:59, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

A whole pile of reviews came out for Edge of Tomorrow! (I wonder if they decided to screen it for critics to offset the bad press that was emerging.) Spencer Maverick set up a section, but I rewrote it, citing a bunch of reasons to do so. Can you review the section and provide feedback on the talk page? Like if we should have "Reception" separately from under "Release" and if to rename it "Critical reception" or not. Thanks, Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 01:07, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: At a glance, it's looking good! As a tendency, if "Reception" is included under "Release", it's usually when the release section is otherwise small, and it's usually titled "Critical response". I'd say in this case – especially since the film is bound to get well over 100 reviews – that separating it into it's own section is totally reasonable. There's already three subsections in Release. I'll be sure to look at the section tomorrow, maybe add a few more reviews to it and do some clean-up and paraphrasing. Personally, I think the extremely specific nature of the review count is a bit much (the whole positive/negative bit). I get what you're trying to do, keeping the percentage from changing 95,042.5 times before release, but it's just a little weird looking, and a bit long-winded. If you decide to keep that section, you need to write out all the numbers, since they're lower than 10. But again, if it were me, I'd include the percentage.

Not entirely sure how cohesive that was, so I'll come back tomorrow. You'll have to forgive me; I've been awake for over 90 hours (woke up Monday, haven't slept since). Oddly, I stopped sleeping after watching The Machinist for a second time. Not entirely convinced I won't be awake for a year straight now. Corvoe (speak to me) 02:27, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! I don't have a preference for where to put the critics section. There are good reasons either way. I find "Critical reception" and "Critical response" interchangeable; the use of "Critical response" at MOS:FILM does not necessarily mean it has to be used universally. (I personally never liked the structuring of the release-related sections at the MOS, such as "Box office" being a section separate from "Release".)

I guess I am particular about reporting RT and MC scores. I'll try to explain my thinking with a comparison of examples. The Avengers has 92% at Rotten Tomatoes but 69% at Metacritic. Gravity has 97% at Rotten Tomatoes and has 96% at Metacritic. Looking at Rotten Tomatoes alone, The Avengers and Gravity seem like equal contenders in quality. However, using Metacritic as well, it's more clear that The Avengers was a "pretty good" film (meaning that in the RT plinko, most reviews fall on the positive side) where Gravity is "near perfect" or whatever. That's why I favor spelling out the methodologies every time; they're not conventional to general audiences. I've played around with the RT/MC wording for a few years now, and this is what I have at the moment, albeit on the detailed side. :-P Another worthwhile consideration is that statistically speaking, the number of reviews should generally be 32 to be stable. Meaning that if you have five reviews, additional ones will change the outcome greatly. If you have 32 reviews, though, additional reviews will be unlikely to change the outcome very much. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:51, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I think a good middle ground would be to negate the percentage, but include the average mean. It shows the exact opinions considerably better, like you said. I think showing Avengers's 8/10 as the focal point, rather than the 92%, would convey general opinions a lot better. Metacritic is basically the "Cream of the Crop" section of RT as well, so we have to keep that in mind. RT includes far more critics, some less "respectable", but a broader sample (in my opinion) returns truer results.

For this instance, in pre-release, I would say including scores is fine, but leave the percentage until the film is widely released. Corvoe (speak to me) 13:54, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Are you suggesting to take out the RT percentage entirely? I think that would be hard to keep out any film article. :-P Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 13:59, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I don't know. I'm trying to think of alternate options :P That's pretty much all I got on how to help without the super long specificity. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Maybe the details could be relegated to notes that readers can jump to if they are interested in a further breakdown. Anyway, kind of interesting to see how the early summer blockbuster films are getting good reviews -- Godzilla, X-Men, and Edge of Tomorrow. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:20, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Maybe so. We'll think of something, I'm sure. We could also try removing RT and Metacritic averages entirely, and just using the reviews themselves for early opinions. That'll be hard to keep steady, but it might be the happiest medium.

In reference to the high-rated blockbusters, I think it's exciting. It's a good indicator of changing times, that just because a movie will (probably) make a shit load of money doesn't mean it can't be great. I've seen Godzilla twice, so that pretty clearly states my opinion, and I'm seeing X-Men tonight. A bunch of my buddies who saw it last night said it was excellent, and I'm sure I'll echo that opinion. Also, I'm extremely excited for Edge of Tomorrow and I'm confident it'll be great. And finally, four words: Guardians of the Galaxy. August can't come soon enough. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:49, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I agree that it's exciting! I was really surprised at how subversive Captain America: The Winter Soldier was, for example. I saw Godzilla last weekend and enjoyed it a lot, though I think Pacific Rim was more fun in the mega-fighting sense. I'm curious to see what a Godzilla sequel would do. I saw a rumor that it would be an island of monsters, which seems cool, but I can't help but imagine a dirt island since all the trees have been knocked down and the grass trampled. :) X-Men: Days of Future Past sounds like a really neat ambition; I never would have thought that it could stitch together the trilogy and prequel's timelines. Edge of Tomorrow looks like great fun; I enjoyed Source Code a lot and look forward to a variation on that theme. I'm not excited for Guardians of the Galaxy, more because the premise is confounding to me, but if it gets good reviews, I'll see it. Will be seeing The Help tonight though, since my partner and I finished reading the book this past week. Hope you enjoy X-Men! Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:18, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Winter Soldier is my third favourite movie this year so far (below Godzilla and Lego Movie), absolutely excellent. I wasn't a huge fan of First Avenger, so it was a wonderful surprise. I'm sad to hear that you aren't excited for GotG. I've read the source material several times over, so I'm extremely excited. That, and I love James Gunn. And the entire cast. I'm just really excited is all :P Truthfully, I don't even know what the premise is yet, but I don't care. I'm going to the midnight premiere of that film, and I'm about 99% sure I'm gonna love it. I mean, it's tagline is "You're welcome" for cripe's sake. That is perfect. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:24, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I never read the GotG source material, so I guess I am seeing it like Snakes on a Plane, which was a silly/fun premise that had a lot of Internet frenzy but turned out not to be so great. It does seem like it should be pretty good, so I'll follow its coverage for sure. :) Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:35, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Just overhauled the "Box office forecast" section here, especially to be more retrospective. Can you let me know what you think? I was trying to get the North America-related stuff (like The Fault in Our Stars) upfront and out of the way to segue into box office expectations outside the United States. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:02, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

I think a studio is either a producer-distributor or just a distributor, so in either case, the studio is distributing. That's why I left out "Distributed by", to simplify the infobox further. Major film studio pretty much connects studios with distribution. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 00:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Gotcha. Feel free to undo it. Also, did you get to see the film yet? Just got back from a late screening, and ho. Lee. Shit. Absolutely brilliant. I agree with the critics, this film has the potential to be a classic sci-fi. Like, Aliens level. Corvoe (speak to me) 03:42, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Nope, haven't seen it yet! Might not get the chance this weekend, unfortunately. Have a few plans already. It sounds like it's right up my ally, though! Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 12:12, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Star Wars VII

I'm afraid that's true. Only those cast members whose character names have been confirmed may appear in bullets. Kailash29792 (talk) 15:25, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) That is not the case Kailash29792. Per WP:FILMCAST, cast members that received billing status are generally put with bullets, and other cast members are placed in prose below. (See any of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films). While I strongly believe these two are or will be billed, the announcement did not make that clear, so we should hold off on that until it a better definite. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:14, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Because Lupita Nyong'o has recently won an Oscar for her role in 12 Years a Slave, that may increase her chance of playing a major role in the film. Kailash29792 (talk) 16:21, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Again, as I said, my WP:OR can't be used to dictate the order. It seems very plausible that she would be, but because the source was ambiguous with it, we can't put her with a bullet until it is more clear. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:25, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: @Kailash29792: Personally, I think we should negate the "Cast" section for right now. People being cast and people being in the film aren't necessarily the same, and the lack of character names makes it nearly pointless. We have a very comprehensive casting section, I think that should cover it. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:49, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

The FP - reprise

Hi. Started going through it, and it looks pretty tight. Made some small c/e changes. Got to the Costume section and changed the first sentence. When you go to FA, they're going to look at writing style. See how I changed that sentence? Try not to use words like "got", and never use a contraction except in quotes. I'm not going to make any more style changes, that should come from you. I'll finish the rest over the next two days. So far, here's what I have:

Lead Section

• ("The FP") - parentheses and quotes are redundant should read either: Frazier Park (The FP), or Frazier Park, "The FP", - (but see my note below on the FP)
• March 16, 2012, (there should always be a comma after the year, per MOS)

Plot

• Angered, JTRO ends their friendship - who? It reads now like he ends his friendship with L Dubba E.
• You used to have something explaining 245 and 248, etc… I don’t see it anymore. It needs to come back early in the plot section, so folks will understand.

Throughout

Be consistent, sometimes you have The FP, other places the FP (personally, I think it should be the latter) Try to limit the number of times you use quotes around words to punch them. If overused, they become distracting, and have the opposite affect than what you intended.

That's all I have through the Casting section. Pretty tight. I didn't check for paraphrasing issues... which is HUGE in FA. You'll get editors that simply go through the sources and if they find close paraphrasing they will automatically reject it. So be aware of that. The other issue, which I think you've addressed is the copyright issue.

More tomorrow. Onel5969 (talk) 22:59, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

@Onel5969: All have been done except the 245/248 part. Looking at the reviewed version, the first paragraph of the plot has remained almost completely unchanged. I'm not sure what explanation I had for them, or even how to describe them, really. Neither of their motivations are established, there's no real backstory. I'm not sure. Corvoe (speak to me) 13:42, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

I seem to remember there was a line in there somewhere explaining that they referred to the street names, or street numbers, something like that. Onel5969 (talk) 13:54, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

I figured out what you meant. 245 is from the south, 248 is from the north. Not really sure how to word it though. Take a look when you can. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:42, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

But do the numbers 245 and 248 refer to streets? The change you made still doesn't deal with the meaning of the gang names, just where they are from. I think after your new sentence, "The leader of the southern 245, L Dubba E, battles and defeats the leader of the northern 248, BTRO.", you need another short sentence saying something along the line: The 245 and the 248 refer to _____________.

I'll try to get my hands on the DVD again, it must've been in the featurettes. I feel like it was area codes for phones or the end of a zip code. Not sure how fast I can add this. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:32, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, it was bugging me. So I had to find where you referenced it. You never actually added it to the text of the article, but it was in a discussion we had on your talk page, which you've now archived. What you said was: " They explain on the featurettes that 245 and 248 were area codes that separated the north and south parts of the town. I'll watch through those again to see who said it." So you don't need to say who said it, just insert a sentence, like "The 245 and 248 were the area codes that separated the north and south parts of the town." Onel5969 (talk) 21:44, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Only two more notes - Make sure all the quotation marks, single and double are the straight kind, not slanted or curled. (I've tried to do some of that, but may have missed a few); and I'm not sure if the titles of the different editions should be in quotes, or italicized.

@Onel5969: I added a note for the gangs, I think it's a happy medium. Doesn't add a non-sequitur to a very important plot point, but still provides the information. I think I got all the quotation marks. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:57, 31 May 2014 (UTC) @Onel5969: Got a whole bunch of new info, as I watched the film's commentary today. Those things are gold mines. Corvoe (speak to me) 23:47, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Going back to the left margin... It looks really good, Corvoe, you've done a great job. Went through it briefly this afternoon, making some c/e changes. My only concern is the cast list. But this is merely a style concern. Rather than dropping down a line when you go into the description, you might consider simply using an mdash, period or colon and continuing on the same line. But that's my only issue right now. You should be quite pleased with the result. I knew nothing about this film prior to my first edit of it, and you communicate the essence and the heart of it to a any reader. Onel5969 (talk) 02:29, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

@Onel5969: Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear it. I did one more pass through, adding a little bit of extra info. In regards to the cast list, I based that off of Dredd, a recently promoted FA, but I can see you're point. I went with the colon suggestion, and I agree that it looks better.

Quick question. I had a conversation with Jason (JTRO, co-writer/director) on Twitter, and he noted both that the sequels are unlikely to happen, and if they did, the second one wouldn't be going to Hong Kong. Is this considered a reliable source? Corvoe (speak to me) 14:13, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

No, that would be original research as per WP:OR, which is one of the 3 cardinal sins on wp. Only if Trost was quoted as saying that in a reliable source, such as an interview, could you use it. Onel5969 (talk) 14:17, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

@Onel5969: I was almost positive that was the case, thank you for confirming. Maybe I'll just ask him for an interview. There's actually a chance he'd do it. Until then, I'll just negate it for now.

I think I'm going to open the nomination in just a second. I also want to include you as a co-writer/nominatee/whatever the phrase is, because you have helped me immensely with getting this article to where I was hoping it would be. Unless you object, of course. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:21, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I appreciate your thinking of me, but there's no need to do that. You did the vast majority of work. And if you don't, that way, I'll be able to comment in support of the nomination.Onel5969 (talk) 14:25, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

@Onel5969: Why the hi? :P On topic, I guess so. Just remember that I offered, I suppose. Also, I made the nomination page. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:39, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't know why I put the hi there. I'll watch the nomination page. I would prefer not to be the first to comment on it, that way I might be able to address any concerns which come up. If no one talks about it in a few days (which is unlikely) I'll comment, regardless. Onel5969 (talk) 15:55, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Haha, I understand. It happens. That's also reasonable, I get why you'd want to wait. Thank you again for all of your help and support. Make sure you ask for any help if you're working on articles and need some help! I'd be happy to do the same for you. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:03, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Gravity accolades page

Hi! Hope you're well. I think the American Hustle accolades page work should be winding down now and hopefully we get a positive result soon. I was thinking we should line up the next one for FLC. I think the best candidate would be the Gravity accolades page. Hopefully, a more popular film will garner more interest. I've had a look and tried to implement as much of what we learnt from the feedback of the Hustle page, I think it fits FLC. If you have the time, could you have a look at this page? Especially the lead prose and to add an appropriate alt text for the image. If you think it's good to go then could you nominate on our behalf? Thanks in advance. Cowlibob (talk) 13:45, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Absolutely! I'm gonna be party hopping today, but I'll glance at it tonight for sure. Corvoe (speak to me) 16:26, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

I've made a few tweaks to the Gravity page, can't see any major issues. It looks ready for FLC now. Have a look and see what you think. I think we should start submitting early FLC candidates with no major problems. The last nom took like 6 weeks to finish. Cowlibob (talk) 14:31, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Shall I nominate this page for FLC on our behalf as all awards have been given out? Cowlibob (talk) 10:07, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: I have no idea how I missed your last message, I apologize. I'll give it a sweep this afternoon when I get home from work, and then tell you. You deserve to nominate it, it's a lot of your work that's bringing them to FLC level; I just lay the groundwork. Corvoe (speak to me) 10:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

First big thing I'm noticing is that there is far too much detail regarding what it was nominated for versus what it won. I think this was handled well for the American Hustle page, in that it stated the amount of nominations and then specified the ones that were won. It's cluttering the lede at the moment. Corvoe (speak to me) 12:47, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

That looks much better. Lead is much more concise now. I also wanted to cut down the words in the sentence about the visual effects society awards as I thought "Visual Effects Society Award for Outstanding Visual Effects in an Effects Driven Feature Motion Picture" was a bit of a mouthful but don't really know how. Cowlibob (talk) 14:00, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: I've trimmed it down, not sure we can do anything else about it. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:14, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Made a slight grammar edit of it as it didn't read right before. Anything else you think needs changing? Cowlibob (talk) 14:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: Good catch, oversight on my part. Other than a few serial commas in the recipients area (which I've gone ahead and added), I don't see anything else. Go for it! Corvoe (speak to me) 14:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Dredd

I know you mean well Corvoe but don't do Werieth's job for him, since the original RFC he has been a huge tool about the situation despite many people making it clear to him his actions are not welcome and destructive. Now there is an ongoing RFC and he is still doing it when he should be suspending his actions until an outcome is achieved. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 14:30, 28 June 2014 (UTC)

@Darkwarriorblake: I won't anywhere else, but I don't want sources unarchived for an excellent Featured Article for the sake of an RfC. I figured he'd end up reverting you, which would've resulted in you reverting him, and a stalemate would follow. I really did it more out of interest for Dredd's quality and stability than to fight against archive.is or anything. He should be suspending his actions, I agree with that. But it doesn't change the fact that he isn't, and probably won't. I'm not going to be doing that for any other articles, I just wanted to keep Dredd at the stability it's enjoyed for so long, and keep it at its already-excellent quality.

Sorry mate!

I Was trying to edit Kayvan Novak's page and filmography as there's no mention of his recent films (Cuban Fury among others) but I fucked up completely while trying to copy the table from Nick Frost's. Not a coder.

Perhaps you could do it instead.

Ahh, okay. I see the issue. I apologize for marking you with a vandalism warning, I've removed that now. The hidden message ("oops, I fucked it up" or something similar) made me think you were vandalizing. No sweat! Which films need added to Novak's filmography? I'd be happy to put them in. Corvoe (speak to me) 11:19, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for letting me know about the handy script tool, WP:MOSNUMscript. I didn't know about this before. It makes things much easier. So over the next few days, in between watching some of the tennis matches at Wimbledon, I can have some fun editing articles with this tool.

Wine, women and song, tennis and tidying references on Wikipedia - you can't beat it in life! Regards, Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 00:38, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

@Kind Tennis Fan: Sure thing! That tool has saved me an immeasurable amount of time, I can tell it'll help you out a lot too. You're doing great work on Colin Farrell's article, by the way!

Billions vs 1,000 millions

I undid part of your edit to Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Per MOS:NUMERAL, on Wikipedia a billion is never a million million, so there's no need to change it. Meters (talk) 19:17, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

@Meters: I actually just posted on your talk page thanking you for the clarification. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:18, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome. Meters (talk) 19:21, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

Gravity and FILMLEAD

Hello Corvoe,

I have reverted your recent change to Gravity (film), and here's why:

First off, I do not contest your application of FILMLEAD. I agree that removing the film's nationality from the opening sentence is correctly following that policy.

However, as FILMLEAD continues: "If the nationality is not singular, cover the different national interests later in the lead section." Your edit failed to do this, in effect changing our article's attribution of nationality from "British-American" to "made in the United Kingdom".

I'm assuming this was a honest mistake, and therefore you should have no problem adding back your edit, perhaps using either one of the following suggestions:

Feel free to readd your edit as-is, but in that case not with a neutral edit summary such as "Per WP:FILMLEAD..." If you want to change our article's attribution of nationality, that's fine, but please say so clearly in your edit summary, so other contributors do not mistake your edits for uncontroversial policy copy edits.

Otherwise I would welcome another version of your edit - complete with the "Per WP:FILMLEAD..." edit summary - where you remember to "cover the different national interests later in the lead section". Specifically, retaining the "part American" bit.

Have a nice day, CapnZapp (talk) 10:42, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@CapnZapp: Thank you for your civility, it's very much obliged. I can definitely say it was a slip up, as I should've read the lead more thoroughly. I see where my mistake was, so I think I know how to fix it. I'll do some research to identify the United States' contributions to the film and add that information in the same area where the UK notes are. Thanks again! Corvoe (speak to me) 11:11, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

I did a quick search on the British Film Institute's database to find that Gravity is listed as a co-production of the UK, the US, and Mexico. Then I looked at the American Film Institute's catalog and found that it only lists the US. This issue is something that, technically, should make the film listed as only American, per Template:Infobox film: "If there is a conflict of information in various reliable sources, then list only the common published nations." I personally think that the UK should be listed, but that's just my opinion. Thoughts? Corvoe (speak to me) 11:19, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Now you're talking about the infobox, which is separate from the article proper (and specifically separate from the article lede), which is the focus of my previous comment. As for your question, I read onwards to find "Alternatively in the case of conflict, consider leaving this field blank and discussing the issue in the article" which I certainly find preferable to "make the film listed as only American". Also, WP:UCS and WP:IAR :) CapnZapp (talk) 12:16, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@CapnZapp: I know the lede was your focus, I was just speaking in generalities. I wasn't in favour of listing it as American at all, and I wasn't going to make the change. I don't know where I was going with that, honestly. I'll figure out how the US contributed and fix my edit, I guess. Sigh, it's been a long week. Thanks for bearing with me. Corvoe (speak to me) 12:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Unfair

Sir, this is completely unfair. I want to discuss a change because that's my right as a contributor to Wikipedia, but no one will respond even after using the ping template. How am I supposed to initiate a logic-based discussion if no one is willing to discuss?--Valkyrie Red (talk) 18:38, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@Valkyrie Red: Don't get angry at me, I barely had an opinion in the initial argument (I think I suggested in-text attribution and that everyone calm down). I've replied to your comment. The other two may not, I don't know. Now, I would suggest leaving a note on WT:FILM to the discussion, and posting on the user's talk pages directly. Either they'll join the conversation and have their voices heard, or they won't and they'll have to deal with whatever the consensus is. Corvoe (speak to me) 19:44, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

@Corvoe:I'm not angry at you sir, I'm sorry if it appeared that way. But thank you for continuing the conversation. I will post in WT: Film but won't waste time contacting them individually.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 21:18, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

About the user you warned at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 July 6#Template:Distinguish

That user continues accusing others of being "clueless" etc, and shows unwillingness to respect the majority's opinion. Could you give some advice for me?Forbidden User (talk) 14:20, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

@Forbidden User: I didn't mean for it to come off as a warning, it was more just my opinion. However, It seems like he might need a referral to WP:STICK in the near future. My best suggestion would be to leave it alone. Whatever the consensus ends up being will have the last word on it, no matter how long the arguments go. Make sure you remember to comment on content, not editors, as I can see that it's getting heated. Maybe a nice cup of tea and a sit down would be helpful as well.

Please note that I'm not accusing you, or Chris, of anything. These are just things that I would personally do. Just take a step back and let the TfD play itself out. He's deadset on his opinion, may as well let him have it, right? Corvoe (speak to me) 14:37, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Attack! Attack!

There is a bug or feature that strips punctuation marks at the end of a link when using textbased media like email, twitter ect, which meant your move made it impossible to link to the article in question. In this case though it was possible to set up the needed redirect. Agathoclea (talk) 22:34, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

@Agathoclea: My apologies, I thought this was just a long-overlooked issue. I didn't know there were technical repercussions, I just figured "WP:DISTINGUISH pretty much clears this up, may as well". You're saying it's okay though, right? I can move them back and fix the redirects if I broke something. Corvoe (speak to me) 22:48, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

The issue of disambiguations is not fully cooked as feelings are moving toward disambiguation in some cases, but for now I don't think we need to touch it. If you made any other moves resulting in a punctuation mark at the end of the title, please make sure that the redirect without the punctuation mark is in place.

Apology

I previously used to be WARNER one and have since reincarnated myself to be more friendly, useful, cooperative, less nationalistic and all together a better editor. I have identified you as one of the editors that I have wronged in the past which is why I urge you not to consider my previous actions in the future as I am completely different. I would like to be friends so we can hopefully collaborate in the future. If you understandably still don't want to colabarte and/or see my new side then that is 100% fine. Just please leave me a note here so I know for the future. THANKYOU! --Warner REBORN (talk) 21:17, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

@Warner REBORN: So sorry to just be getting back to you! I completely missed this message, not really sure how. Thank you very much for the apology, and I'm glad to hear you've refocused and are aiming to be a helpful member of our editing community! I'd be more than happy to work with you, I'm never opposed to collaboration. Quick note though, I'd recommend talking to an admin about the fact that you made a new account. Perhaps they can merge WARNER one's edit history with yours, and delete that account and/or redirect it. If you don't want the article history merged, I'd still suggest trying to get the old account deleted. For the time being, I'd strongly recommend redirecting WARNER one's user page and user talk to Warner REBORN's, so no one accidentally contacts an account you aren't using anymore. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 14:33, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Any idea where I can find an administrator. I already redirected my old account to new one an vice versa. I should of tried to change my name instead, though I didn't think. Thank you again. --Warner REBORN (talk) 16:25, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

@Warner REBORN: Uh...your old account's user and talk pages are definitely still active. I'd recommend replacing the user page contents with a simple #REDIRECT, while you may want to archive your talk page. Anyhow, I would suggest talking to Xeno. He's the primary (and as far as I can tell, only) bureaucrat who manages name changes. I'm sure he'll know what to do, or at the very least point you to someone who does. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 16:32, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Just to update you, Xeno changed the name of my old account. Thanks again. --Warner REBORN (talk) 16:25, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

User:Sock

Have you read WP:USURP? If User:Sock has no edits and was blocked way back in 2007, then maybe you could usurp that name. I did the same thing with User:Erik -- I had User:Erikster before and was able to change it. You could contact the admin who blocked that user handle to see if that is a possibility. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:19, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, that Wikipedia account is only part of the reason. Obviously the user has been blocked since 2007 and doesn't have any edit log, so we're all good at this point. Problem is, there's WP:SUL/C to consider, and it seems someone on the Metawiki who registered it in February. So, I'm probably just gonna have Corvoe. It's better than my original username, at least. I just changed it a little too hastily. This is the only place I have this username. Corvoe (speak to me) 14:59, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I looked into that Metawiki account a bit more, and now I'm more confused. The account was created but immediately blocked, possibly under the assumption that it was the same account as over here. This is very muddy. I'll probably just ask someone at some point. Corvoe (speak to me) 15:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Interesting! I wonder if that person is the same one from the 2007 block. Talk about useless persistence... I dig your current handle anyway. :) (Also, I have been busy in general, so I haven't edited much this week, FYI.) Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 15:05, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Your absence was noticeable, I'll tell you that much :P I haven't been especially active in editing, though I've been in a lot of discussions as of late. Starting to get pinged into them, haha.

As for the username, I highly doubt it's the same person, might just be a negative connotation with the username. And I'm pretty neutral towards this handle. I changed it as soon as I came back from my Wikibreak (Krazycev13 showed my youth a little more than I cared for), and it was to the username I only used on one account that I thought would become my universal. It did not. My usual names are Sharlto or Zapti, but I try for Sock any time I can. If it's available (which is rare, but awesome when it happens), I always receive a weird joy in getting it, just because it's so simple and my avatar can literally just be a sock. It's a lot more amusing than it should be, but eh. I can't be arsed right now. This was scatterbrained. Work is taking its toll today. Corvoe (speak to me) 15:11, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I think you can usurp User:Sock on en.wiki since it was already registered when the SUL/C account was registered. Like I have User:Erik on en.wiki, but someone else already got the SUL/C account afterward. Anyway, I have an idea for Edge of Tomorrow that I wanted to pitch to you. I was thinking that for "Critical response", we could do a bar graph based on the individual review scores at Metacritic. That way, readers can see how a survey of reviews is distributed. This is something I did in Excel 2003, but I'm sure we can make it look nicer and use open-source (like what American Beauty (1999 film)#Theatrical run has). I thought about using the Metacritic colors (red, yellow, green) but that might be copying their layout too much. Do you think this approach has any merit? Was trying to think of more free-image stuff to add to Edge of Tomorrow. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:22, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Huh. Okay, good to know. I may ask about it later today. As for the graph, I don't know for sure if it's worth including. I actually quite like the visual you have, and I don't think taking the colour options would be a very big deal (I could be totally wrong, but I don't imagine "green is good red is bad" can be copyrighted). However, it just feels unnecessary to me. I think I see what you're going for, but I feel like so much of it is static that it doesn't add a whole lot. I could also totally not see what you're going for and need a good kick in the right direction. Corvoe (speak to me) 17:36, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Your honest opinion is welcome. :) I like to experiment with new approaches on Wikipedia. Crew lists, cast boxes... my thinking here is that the reeling-off of numbers in text may make one's eyes glaze over, where a bar graph would essentially illustrate the numbers. I kind of think that red/yellow/green colors would improve the graph. Alternatively, we could group the reviews' bars into negative, mixed, and positive camps. (In this case, it would be just mixed and positive.) Yet another addition could be to add a line for the aggregate score (71) through the bar graph. Maybe this isn't the best film for it since the distribution is not that interesting compared to other films. The American Beauty example is a good interesting one because not many films re-peak in theater distribution. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 17:47, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I'm actually really liking the idea of putting the aggregate score in a straight line across. I think that would give readers a much better sense of how close to that average reviews were, how much lower and higher they were scored. Maybe have the x-axis be the numerical score and the y-axis the number of reviewers that gave the film that score? Then put the line of 71 straight across the x-axis (so y=71). Corvoe (speak to me) 17:51, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Woohoo! Hello, Sock. :) I suggest making your signature something like, "Formerly known as Corvoe". Glad this change worked out! Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 15:02, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: I got the notification for it mid-edit to one of my userpages, so I got edit conflicted. Haha. I was planning on making it "The Artist Formerly Known as Corvoe", because that joke doesn't get old for me. Also, this is awesome. Thanks for telling me about usurp! Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 15:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

We're two for two!

Gravity's accolades page just got promoted! Thanks for helping out. It has been good collaborating with you over the recent past. I'll also take this opportunity to say that I'll be off Wikipedia till August due to real life commitments. Cowlibob (talk) 14:49, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Images

Hello Corvoe! Can you please tell me where can I find free licensed images to use in Wikipedia? Are there any website which contains free images, can you point out please? --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 20:22, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: This is a tough one. I often use Flickr and just peruse until I find one with CC-BY-SA on it. However, you can always message Flickr photographers and ask them to change the licensing. That's how we have the images of Tom Hardy, Barkhad Abdi, Oscar Isaac, Leonardo DiCaprio, Chris O'Dowd, Eddie Izzard, Zedd, etc. What images do you need? Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 20:52, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

I need two different latest images for Gerard Butler and one image for Ride Along (film)'s New York screening, which I couldn't find at Flickr. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 23:09, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

Am I working on Ride Along (film) well or not? Is there anything I want to know? --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 12:53, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Will you please help me in trimming the plot? --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 15:09, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: Sure thing! The only negative I'm noticing about your editing is that your prose and grammar aren't the best. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 15:16, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Really...? I'm trying my best for it. Okay then, do the grammar corrections for me, everything else will be handled. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 15:31, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: It's not like your prose is awful, there are just some parts where words that don't belong pop up, or words that should be there are omitted. I'd be happy to help trim the plot section down from what I've read, but I haven't seen the film. I'll probably watch it to get a better understanding of what is and isn't necessary, then remove the extraneous information. There's a very good chance I'll be able to get the plot to a concise length before I see it, but I'd like to just to be safe. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 13:13, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, it'll be good if you watch the movie first but I'll say give it a try before you see the film. I'm sure you'll trim it, and I'll see how you trimming it and I'll learn. You better start and finish quickly trimming it in this coming week, because I'm going to nominate it at weekend for GA. And hope you will do the review :). --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 14:51, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: If you want me to do the review, I should probably stop helping you with the article after the plot trim. Though not explicitly forbidden, it is expressly frowned upon to do a GA review of an article you've significantly contributed to. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 14:54, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah sure, just trim the plot and stop. I'll be glad for you doing the plot. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 14:56, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: Actually, I don't think I'll be able to do the GA review. I'm having a lot of trouble with the wording on the plot, and I'm only a paragraph in. Not having seen it is severely hindering me, and I don't exactly have a lot of time to watch it (all work and no play has made Jack a dull boy). I would rather help you get it ready for the GA nomination more extensively and across all sections, then help with the comments for improvement. Basically, I'd be an uncredited co-nominator, unless you felt like putting my name on it. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 15:02, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

Also, if I may ask, what's the rush to get this to GA? I think it's got all the right layout and good information, but it's still got a bit to go, particularly in the prose department (which I'm working on). The plot section is, frankly, very confusing, and I'm having serious issues figuring out what I can and can't cut. I'll need to see the film before I can continue on that section further. Corvoe ^{(be heard)} 15:08, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

That's OK, I can understand. Just help me in getting it to GA, and there is no rush, it's just I wanna do it perfectly for one time. Okay, I'll give you time, see the film and trim the plot then. Actually I read the plot too, two times, it made me confused too on figuring the trim-able data. To-the-point, just see the film as early as you can and then come back and do it, thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 15:43, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

You changed your username again?

I just saw this and thought that it might simply be an alternate account, especially with the name "Sock." But then, after clicking on your user page, I see that you've changed your username again. LOL, how are people ever going to stay familiar with you, visually, if you keep changing your username? It's like a person who keeps changing their face to look completely different than it did before. I suppose that, for a while, you'll look like a stranger to people who've interacted with you. Flyer22 (talk) 10:52, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

@Flyer22: In my defense, my last username change was close to two years ago, and it was before I associated with the large majority of the people I talk to now. I can safely say everyone who knew me as Krazycev13 (shutter), with the exception of you, is either blocked, retired, or not in contact with me. Sock might take some getting used to, but I would've changed straight to this had I known about the whole usurpation thing.

Also, as you'll be able to see at the end of this post, I'm acknowledging my last username in my signature for awhile until everyone's used to it. I just love this username, couldn't help myself :P Sock (The Editor Formerly Known as Corvoe) ^{(be heard)} 11:12, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining, Sock (currently sounds weird calling you Sock); you certainly didn't owe me an explanation, but I'm glad you told me the deal on all of that. Flyer22 (talk) 21:19, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

And had I scanned your user talk page before posting this section, I would have seen that you already addressed your name change in the section immediately above this one; I only noticed that section after I posted. Flyer22 (talk) 21:21, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

@Flyer22: I figured maybe it would give you some insight to my ways :P Apologies for not mentioning you up there! We'd only just worked together again a few days before, but I'm glad to see you're working on Marvel films with us now! Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 17:54, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Haha, Sock! Brilliant. If I was wearing a hat, I would now tip it. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 17:49, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

The Hobbit: Smaug

UK involvement. I appreciate your "reasoning" for excluding UK based on BFI. Though BFI isn't set in stone. For example on Life of Pi , UK, Australia, Canada and Taiwan are included yet excluded from the page. On The Hobbit, the huge UK contribution is widely acknowledged, which is why it was included. The predominately British cast, English source material, Pinewood studios filming for scenes with Christopher Lee, Andy Serkis as 2nd Unit Director http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfX1PYv1FEY and much more. It is also worthy to note that the reasons for the three premiers of LOTR were in London, New York, & Wellington - was because they were the three production country's. Jackson himself has noted that the UK has contributed hugely to production (I am currently in the process of finding that interview to prove to you). As noted by other editors in the past, BFI only takes country notes for very select reasons. I will revert your edits for the moment. Please don't hold resent for this and remember that rightfully adding UK does not in any way take away from the contributions of NZ and USA (I assume your American). Thank You, please reply before acting further. --Warner REBORN (talk) 13:15, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

@Warner REBORN: I'm actually Canadian, though I live in the States. That has no bearing on why I reverted your edit, though. Truthfully, I don't care what countries produced what films at all. I only care that the ones we have listed are backed up and sourced. As far as I could find (so, BFI), no one had the UK listed as a company of production. If you find a source contradicting that, I won't argue (why would I?) But note that it doesn't matter how much of the production crew is British or how much was shot in the UK, that still doesn't necessarily make it a British co-production. Real quick aside, why did you revert me before finding your source? Why not do it after, when I'll happily agree to the UK's involvement and inclusion? Frankly, it's counterproductive. The page should only reflect what we can verify right now, rather than what we're looking to verify. I'm not going to revert you, but if you don't add a source explicitly saying the film was co-produced in the UK in the near future, I'm going to have to. At that point, it'll be a talk page discussion. Sock (The Editor Formerly Known as Corvoe) ^{(be heard)} 13:41, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Sure thing. I'll continue to search for that source I mentioned. --Warner REBORN (talk) 13:43, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

@Warner REBORN: Extra quick comment, the air quotes around "reasoning" was uncalled for. I'm doing what I think is best for the article, just like you are. Please assume good faith, like I am with you (especially given our previous encounters). Sock (The Editor Formerly Known as Corvoe) ^{(be heard)} 13:45, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Hello Sock. Are you aware of the two recent move discussions at Talk:Sia (singer)? You just performed a move that failed to get consensus back in June. I recommend that you undo your change since the opinions in the move discussions show that keeping her surname in the title is the favored option. EdJohnston (talk) 15:10, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

@EdJohnston: My apologies, I had no idea. I think I just need to stop moving pages. I'll fix that right now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention! Sock (previously Corvoe) ^{(be heard)} 15:12, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

At which point was Michael Bay considered to helm Watchmen?

I saw on IMDb that Michael Bay was considered to direct Watchmen in 2003 but I didn't see that on the Wikipedia Watchmen page is this information accurate or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.45.205.119 (talk) 23:11, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

As the editor who put together the development content seen at Production of Watchmen, I've never seen this particular claim. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 23:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, it's definitely something that slipped passed IMDb's fact checkers. Precisely why we don't consider IMDb a reliable source. Sock (previously Corvoe) ^{(be heard)} 01:04, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Guardian italics

Just so you can see, I'm going off of the Variety review, at the bottom. I'll be diligent to look during the credits for sure. That might be something good to do. Pop in the DVDs and see what they each say the film is based on. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 16:53, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: That makes sense. I'm not home at the moment, but I'll check some of the other ones out to see what the tendency is. I could be wrong, but I'm almost positive it's based on "the character(s) ____ created by (creators)". Or something like that. No biggy if I'm wrong, though. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 16:58, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Wasn't suggesting you to do that, just a general "we should" haha. But if you'd like to do that, that be fine. For some reason I thought it was a good idea for me to create the Portal:Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I've will be working to populate and format that in the coming days. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:01, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Oh. Well I'll probably do it anyway, I don't mind. Also, it's looking very good so far. Anything I can assist with? Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 17:04, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, don't worry about pinging me each time. I have your pages on my watchlist. As for the portal, thanks. It is a bit confusing to figure out, because it is so many subpages, within subpages, and what's routing to here and there, but not here, such. The next thing I have to tackle is putting the blurbs for all our GA and FA content in the Feature article areas. Once I do that, then it would be getting to look all pretty and such. Haha. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:11, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Force of habit. Thanks for the heads up, I guess I probably should've figured out that you had my pages on watch after you noticed my "removing GOTG" edit. I can see how that would be a daunting task, haha. I'd be happy to help with some blurbs, maybe save you the time on one or two of them at least. Quick question, do we have any Featured Articles in the MCU area? I know we have a list or two, but I didn't think any had been brought up to FA yet. That'd be a fun task. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 21:14, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

We don't. I'm thinking of getting Guardians to that eventually, because I felt like I've spent the most time with it. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:30, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Count me in. I love researching things I'm interested in, I'll find as much as I can. I imagine GA will take about two seconds after the plot summary is finished, so I don't think it's an unreasonable to have it FA nom ready by November/December. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 22:04, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

I mean, I've been operating on that page like it's a GA since like the beginning of June. Haha. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:54, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

That you have. It's seriously a plot section away at this point, which I'm sure we'll have shortly after the premiere. I'm gonna write an outline for the key points after I watch it, then I'll work on whatever one gets added in (because I know someone will beat me to it). Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 03:11, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Oh yeah. And we just lost page protection (grrrr!) so I'm really hoping there are some IP vandals tomorrow and Thursday to request a quick protection before I unwatch it. Which, now that I think of it, I should do tomorrow, to avoid any spoilers. But if you get an outline done, that will probably help us to remove all the excess. I'd say start with that, and slowly add to it, based on what is already on the page. Remember the 700 word limit. And if I don't get a chance to say it in the coming days, enjoy the film! I'm going Friday evening to an IMAX 3D showing. I'm not usually one for 3D film, because they are just a senseless cash grab imo, but based on what Gunn was saying, how he worked hard to make the 3D and the IMAX version good, I thought "what the heck?" and wanted to go. Oh! If you want to help in the portal, if you are on now, can you go through all the selected articles I already added, and remove the images. Non-free rules are no fun. Haha. You can find all the articles I did here and click the numbers to get to their portal subpages. I'm about to start the Featured content. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 03:43, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Re deadurl removal

Well, at first, I put them on there, and then I realized that they don't do anything. I asked one user about it, and he said he doesn't know. Can you explain the reason for it? Because, one user used them, but then I statrted using them and I don't see a diiference.--Mishae (talk) 20:07, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Mishae: It changes the primary link in the reference. When deadurl is off, it shows the title of the article, but links to the archive page. Then it says "Archived from the original", with "the original" linking to the live article. If deaudrl is on, it shows the title that links to the live article. Then it too says "Archived from the original", but with "Archived" highlighted and linking to the archive page. Does that make any sense? I may have described that terribly, and it's kind of hard to put into a visual example. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 20:15, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Kind off, but I am still a bit confused. Like, what you are saying is that the archived link moves from left to right, but if so, it does that already. Yeah, I can't explain my confusion either, but it was me who put them there, and its me who removes them because in my eyes, it doesn't do anything. So, O.K, let me revert my edit to see the point...--Mishae (talk) 20:28, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Mishae: So basically it's like this: deadurl=no displays "(Archive link with title). (Other info). Archived from (original page link with "the original") on (date)". deadurl=yes displays "(Original page link with title). (Other info). (archive link with "Archived") from the original on (date)." Did that help at all? Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 20:33, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Even more confusing. O.K. I re added them in this article: The Lego Movie from what I can tell is that the original becomes Archived. And, that the archived link moves into a proper archive because previously when I clicked on the title it displayed the archived copy.--Mishae (talk) 20:40, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Mishae: Well shit, haha. I tried my best. Yes, the link on "the original" goes to the title display, and the archive link goes to the word "Archived". It's tough to do without just doing it. Which I could've just done. Ugh.

Deadurl=no: "Guardians of the Galaxy [3D]". British Board of Film Classification. Archived from the original on July 17, 2014. Retrieved July 17, 2014. {{cite web}}: Unknown parameter |deadurl= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help) - (Live link goes under the title, archive link is attached to "archive".)

Retrieved July 17, 2014. - (Live link [since it's presumed dead] is moved to "the original", and the archived link goes under the title so the information is readable." I don't know if I needed to give these examples, but I feel better on the inside knowing that they might have somewhat helped. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 20:50, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes, now I got it, so O.K. I will undo my edits. It will take a while though... Thanks for detailed explaination. As a person who was doing archiving since February 2014 I should have known better. :(--Mishae (talk) 20:56, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

@Mishae: *wipes off sweat* Well, it was a journey, but we got there. Trust me, it was way more my fault than yours, I can't describe anything all that well. And hey, we all makes mistakes. All we can do is learn from them. Sorry to hear that you'd done this in a lot of places :/ I'd be happy to help, if you like. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 21:04, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

No, its fine. I can undo it my self, I hate when the red number flashes every second. You see, due to my autism I am more a visual person then listening (that's the main reason why I sometimes violate I didn't heard that policy). :(--Mishae (talk) 21:06, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

THANK YOU for countries edit

I admit it has been three days and that is fine, I will not revert you, you have done what I think bes. After my holiday I will look for sources again. However I do not appreciate how "I am acting like my old self". I have been told by other editors to look at countries on a case by case basis which I now do EVERY TIME. Countries is by far no longer my priorities and takes up under 10% of my editing time. I now work on creating and expanding pages. So Thank You but think before you post. I have came to respect you and am happy to contribute or collaborate with you but only if you can understand my aim is, like you, to help and expand Wikipedia for the millions that see it every day. Thanks --Warner REBORN (talk) 15:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

@Warner REBORN: I sincerely apologize for that comment. I had thought before I posted, but the thoughts were clouded with irritation that weren't really aimed at you. I saw the Malta addition at World War Z and immediately decided you were being hypocritical, which was completely unfair to you. Thank you for seeing my side, and I'm sorry I wasn't quite so ready to see yours. I'll be working on it, that I can assure you. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 16:29, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

James Gunn

Re: this. It's both lazy and disingenuous to give Gunn "partial" credit for directing Thor: The Dark World. Lazy because who wrote it, only did so because of the preceding movie credit, "Movie 43", which he did partially direct (segment). But he had nothing to do with Thor: TDW, and implying he did is nonsense. A 30 second mid-credit scene has nothing to with the crafting of the feature film. Nothing. You don't like my edit? Fine. But come up with another idea, because "partial" has to go. It's simply incorrect. - ^theWOLFchild 13:00, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

@Thewolfchild: I've changed it so that the "Partial" template displays the text "Mid-credits scene" instead. Does that work for you? Also, I see where you're coming from and you made a good point, but will you please be a bit more civil in the future? I know being reverted is frustrating, but we were both acting in good faith. You weren't rude or anything, you just came off very standoffish. Also, I admit I should've thought my revert through a bit better, and I apologize for not doing so. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 13:45, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh boo-hoo... I wasn't uncivil, so get over it. (well, maybe that was a little uncivil...) The edit is fine. - ^theWOLFchild 14:08, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Question about AFI and production companies

Hi. Hope you're well. I've been recently working on getting 12 Years a Slave accolades list up to FLC. I've written in the article that "The film was principally produced by Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment." I did this based on the AFI listing, Plan B first, which I presumed was based on contribution to the film. Is this a fair statement to make in the article or should I reword it? Cowlibob (talk) 23:07, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: I would advise against it. AFI listings are kinda weird, and they definitely don't specify primary contributions. It's all credits order, which is largely contractual. It'd be tough to gauge it without a good source. I'd undo that. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 23:15, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

I've removed the sentence, I'm just trying to figure out a way of incorporating that he produced as well as played a supporting role. As currently the article starts with directed and produced by Steve McQueen (which is true as he was a producer) but doesn't mention Brad Pitt's production role which was perhaps a greater role (as from what I understand Plan B gave the initial backing) and could give the reader the idea that McQueen produced the film on his own. Any ideas? Cowlibob (talk) 23:22, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: I've been dwelling on this for awhile, and I think I figured something out. Where it's listing that McQueen is the first black person to direct or produce a Best Picture winner, the sentence after could involve it being Pitt's first Academy Award win after his four nominations. Not sure how you'd manage to smoothly incorporate that, but it's worth a try. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 19:02, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for thinking about it. I'll look into how to word it. In regards, to the ANI you have open, I would encourage you to just to let it be until an admin has commented, even if people are being annoying toward you, it'll just add unneeded stress to yourself and may make you comments you wouldn't want to make. I've glanced through the discussion and it's clear the motivations/arguments of everyone involved already so added discussion is just going to be a waste of time until an admin has commented. On a completely different note, saw Boyhood recently, watch it when you can, best film of the year so far! Cowlibob (talk) 18:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: That's good advice. I keep meaning to do that, I just let myself get sucked back in. I unwatched the page about a half hour ago, hopefully that helps me stop checking it. And I've been dying to see Boyhood, I've heard nothing but great things. It's gonna be tough for it to top Guardians of the Galaxy for me though. I'm sure it's way better from a filmmaking standpoint, but I think GOTG has a solid grasp on my favourite film of the year. Seeing it for a third time tomorrow night. Sock (tock talk) 18:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm a big fan of the Before trilogy so was already going to like this but I was just amazed. Haven't see Guardians yet but looking forward to seeing it soon. On a completely unrelated note, I'm looking to upgrade Sandra Bullock's filmography as a future FLC but there are currently no decent pictures of her on Wikipedia. I tried flickr and couldn't find one which wasn't copyrighted. Any ideas? Cowlibob (talk) 18:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

I also love that trilogy, and I just enjoy Richard Linklater in general, so I'm not surprised at all. Guardians is great, see that ASAP if you like comic book movies. And my best recommendation is to ask the Flickr users. I've been able to get a lot of pictures just from asking people if they'd be willing to change the rights. Many of them are, surprisingly, so just message them if you can. Also, why not use this image? It's high quality, and it's of her holding an award for The Blind Side. I feel like that's pretty appropriate for an accolades page. Sock (tock talk) 18:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

That's the kind I was looking for, thanks! Teach me your ways of search-fu, I searched for "Sandra Bullock" on commons and that image didn't appear. Cowlibob (talk) 18:43, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

@Cowlibob: My search-fu has been honed extensively over the years, but I'll teach you my tricks. Particularly for actors and film posters, I search on Wikipedia first (since it contains both Commons images and Wikipedia-exclusive images). I just typed "File:Sandra Bullock" in the search box and that was on the first page. Sock (tock talk) 18:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Also, that's the image that is already used in the article. Hmm. Sock (tock talk) 18:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

To clarify I'm working on the filmography not the accolades page but the pic should work for the filmography as well. Cowlibob (talk) 19:22, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh, whoops. I just figured you were working on her awards, haha. In that case, there are more recent pictures such as this one from 2013 Comic-Con. It's your call though. I'd just look through these results and pick out your favourite. Sock (tock talk) 19:25, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Re:August 2014

I could leave a message on talk pages but then again, who actually reads the talk page, and even responds to it. I find the only way to get someone's attention is to just edit the article, and even reverting their edits, it is almost always the case that it is indifference. User:Millahnna is deadset on not working with me to resolve the dispute, so unless the user is willing to work with me, then the edit war will continue. You have mentioned Wikipedia:page protection, so I ask for who? Millahnna? Me? Or others. Thanks Tandrum (talk) 20:05, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

@Tandrum: The page protection was in reference to vandalism. For the record, almost all frequent editors of Wikipedia read and respond to talk page messages, like you did and like I am now. You can not continue the edit war, or I will have to report you, which will almost definitely result in you being blocked. Millahnna is not deadset against you, by the way. The plot section of Bad Santa is perfectly within our Manual of Style, specifically the section regarding plot summaries, which I again request that you read. Your edits include vast amounts of extraneous information, none of which furthers a basic understanding of the plot. We don't go in depth because we don't have to. We cover the key points, that's all. Don't take it personally. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 20:10, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Why haven't you analyzed any of my edits, like any self respecting editor? Tandrum (talk) 20:12, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

@Tandrum: I am a self-respecting editor, and I have analyzed your edits. As I said above, I believe them to be extraneous and unnecessary, as does Millahnna. Again, did you read WP:FILMPLOT? That will explain our edits well. I would recommend Word Counter to find out if your summary exceeds 700 words. Sock (pka Corvoe) ^{(be heard)}_{(my stuff)} 20:15, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

I am not dead set against working with you. I'm dead set against bad writing, plot bloat, and claims of having read a guideline when you clearly haven't. I've analyzed you're edits. They are NOT constructive, particularly at bad Santa and crank high voltage. The rotten tomatoes rating (bad Santa) and popularity (crank high voltage) of a film have NOTHING to do with how long a plot should be. The complexity of the film in regards to our coverage of real world information about said film does. In analyzing your other edits, I see a lot of problems and your talk page shows I'm not the only one to react this way.

Thank you sock following up on this. I'm part of the crew that feeds fire fighters at the wildfires in Oregon and California and can't check in regularly. Millahnna (talk) 19:34, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Peer review request

Hi. Hope you're well. Looks like Her's accolades list is nearly wrapped up. I'm looking to expand from film accolades into filmographies. Here's my first attempt: Tom Hanks filmography, Peer review link: [[2]]. I would really appreciate if you could look through it and see that the lead is sound especially and anything else you could give pointers on. Here's the most recent featured filmography, Jake Gyllenhaal filmography to compare if need be. Currently there are no references in the lead as I discussed with another contributor of the article who suggested that it looks cleaner and as per WP:LEAD, none of the stuff in the lead is likely to be challenged and even if it was the info is available on the parent article with references.

TF Age Of Extinction cast

If the correct cast in the infobox is gonna be deleted then why the same exact cast in the cast section stay? It's the same exact thing. If you won't let the cast in the infobox stay then I request you delete all the cast in the cast section besides Wahlberg and Tucci. Jacob Sudduth — Preceding undated comment added 17:23, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

@Jacob Sudduth: I've moved your comment to the bottom, of the page, just so you know. Also make sure you sign with four tildes (~~~~), not three. In response to your comment, I can definitely see your point, but the infobox "Starring" parameter and the cast subsection are not the same entity. For instance, if we listed the same people in the infobox of The Wolf of Wall Street as we did in its cast section, the infobox would go to the bottom of the page. Per Template:Infobox film: "Insert the names of the actors as they are listed in the billing block of the poster for the film's original theatrical release. If unavailable, use the top-billed actors from the screen credits. Other additions by consensus." In this case, there is a billing block for the poster and it only lists Wahlberg and Tucci as far as actors are concerned. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely unopposed to adding more actors to the cast list in the infobox, but a discussion on the article's talk page should take place first. Sock (tock talk) 17:45, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Differentiation of Attack Attack band articles

Hi there, In June I moved the two Attack Attack band articles to more distinctive article titles since the difference between them is a single "!" which can cause confusion for readers, there should be something more obvious to differentiate between the two like what I did previously by moving the Attack Attack! to "Attack Attack! (American band)" and Attack! Attack! to "Attack! Attack! (Welsh band)" since those are their nationalities, despite this you reverted this edit and put them back to their original article titles which is the state they are in now, can you please reconsider? I have raised the question Talk:Attack Attack! but I got no response. SilentDan (talk) 00:08, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

GotG work

Hey Sock! I know you are on a wikibreak, but was wondering if once you were back, or maybe had time, or wanted a small project, if you'd maybe do something for me? I keep remembering that I need to add info about the VFX work on GotG from the FXGuide article. I did some very small stuff already, such as the companies that worked on it, and adding some photos. If you could maybe add some of the content from it, that be great! No problem if you can't. The source is already on the page, so you would just need to create the content. You can look to Cap:TWS for an idea of what to add (that was mostly done by Triiiple). I just feel it will be forever until I get to it, and doing so will get us one step closer to nominating it for GA status. Let me know! Thanks! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 01:03, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: I was actually gonna go on a bit of an editing binge this weekend, seeing as I don't have class Monday which gives me more procrastination time. I'd be happy to see what I can do! I'll update you when I'm done. Sock (tock talk) 20:17, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Awesome. And if you have a sec too, would you kindly take a moment to read the discussion here and provide a perspective or opinion? Thanks. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 22:11, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: I'd be happy to. Of course, the weekend I want to edit our internet completely dies. I had no Wifi from Saturday night until this morning, so I wasn't able to do anything. I haven't forgotten! I will be sure to get around to it between classes. Sock (tock talk) 16:52, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

No rush. And that discussion has kind of gone to the wayside now, so no worries on that either. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:08, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

list of accolades
Thank you, Corvoe Sock gnome who knows who's a boy's best friend, for quality articles on musicians, bands, albums and films, such as The FP, for lists such as that of accolades received by Gravity, for precision and pardon, for a cute infobox of yourself and "You don't want that face to frown, do you?" - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi, Corvoe. Urm...I mean, Sock. This is me, IBCPirates, do you remember me? Well, MY ACCOUNT WAS SABOTAGED AND MY ENTIRE TALK PAGE WAS DELETED, and the little jackasses changed my password!

The English Patient (film)

Hi. I'd like to enlist your help, based on a quick look at your work here. I am having a tangle with Ring Cinema over the Plot Summary of The English Patient (film). He has become very attached to his own writing, which is full of OR, his opinions (he describes a character as "formerly-dashing" for just one of many examples). Someone left a message on the talk page commenting on how bad the article was. I agreed, and rewrote it last night, removing dialogue, opinions and OR galore (which contain many inaccuracies besides), and left detailed explanations on the talk page. Today RC has reverted me again and again, even leaving in a paragraph that now exists in two different sections (he's obviously not even reading the new article). I used to edit here a lot, but left because of the intractability of some editors and the problem with getting some of them to follow guidelines. I don't want to go to war over this, but I'd like a second opinion. If you think his peacock language and opinions and OR are okay, I'll leave it be, but really, this is very bad writing and an editor with a notorious reputation for edit-warring. Thanks. --TEHodson 22:01, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

I think it may be okay now, but maybe take a look at it anyway? I hope I have satisfied this guy yet still made changes that will hold. Thanks.--TEHodson 23:07, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I've given up. Most of my changes have been left, but he's still insisting he's right about things that really aren't terribly debatable (like calling the character "once-handsome"). I kind of lost my cool when he said I didn't know the film very well, which was infuriating because I actually worked on the damn thing and only came by to edit it after a friend called my attention to it. But tomorrow I'm back on set, so won't be caring about this. If you care to take it on, it might help, but I no longer will be. I haven't edited here in years, having recovered from the illness that gave me time to do it. I'd forgotten just how frustrating it can be. Take care.--TEHodson 03:28, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

@TEHodson: Shit, I'm sorry I wasn't around to answer any of these messages. Ring has been problematic in the past (as you've experienced, he's very bull-headed), but as tough as it may be to believe, he does mean well as do you. Your best best would've been to take it to WT:FILM and open the debate to others. I'm flattered that you came to me, but it appears I missed the entire debate. I do wish you wouldn't retire over this event, these frustrating things happen but they help us grow. However, I understand if it's because you're busy. I hope you enjoy whatever set you're going to! I'm envious of the fact that you get to work on films, whatever you may do. Take care to you as well. Sock (tock talk) 04:50, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

@Sock:Can you go look at the talk page and see my arguments and how he completely ignored them, and has left in the plot summary stuff that he made up out of whole cloth (such as the assertion that Katherine was lured into the plane by her husband--there is no scene showing them getting into the plane, so how does he conclude she was lured?); there are more. I don't understand the problem with people like this. You can just make shit up! How is that even debatable? I have to go to bed because I have an early call, but another voice might help explain things to him. I retired a couple of years ago when I went back to work, not because of this, though things like this were part of the decision to not even do the occasional edit beyond grammar and typos. I didn't realize till I was done that I'd accidentally got involved with a chronic edit-warrer. His final note indicates that he thinks his interpretation of the characters' feelings is the same thing as absolute plot points. This is the problem, in a nutshell. --TEHodson 06:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

GA review

Hey Sock! Just checking if you wanna do a GA review, I'll expand and nominate an article within the next week. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 02:46, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

@Captain Assassin!: Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to edit, let alone review anything. I'll definitely let you know if I get freed up though! Sock (tock talk) 16:04, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I see that, thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 16:14, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Schedule

Hey, hope you're doing well! What is your schedule like these days? Any free time to finish up Edge of Tomorrow (film) or start work on Children of Men? Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 14:27, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Glad to hear from you! You actually got me on one of the few days I was logged in. My schedule is freeing up a lot more. I've been working a lot on writing/editing/directing/acting in a series with some friends, as well as university classes when I'm not working on that. However, I do have some free time now. What all do you think we need to do on EoT? Seems to have improved a lot in my absence. Sock (tock talk) 16:40, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Did you say you were working on a visual effects section to incorporate? I saw that another editor added that section, and I was not sure if there was some overlap. The talk page also has some references to talk about the ending, and the critical reception section could be revamped in its sampling. Not to mention some home media details as it comes out this Tuesday. The disc has a lot of featurettes on it too, which could help flesh out production further (as much as I hate to deal with audio and time stamps). Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 12:56, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Nope, that editor added everything I would have and then some. I'll comb the references you've included for sure, and I'm planning on getting the Blu-ray shortly after it comes out. However, you don't really need to worry about time stamps. The FP references the commentary and several featurettes, but includes no time stamps. It was combed over pretty closely, so I don't think we need to worry about that. Sock (tock talk) 15:51, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Good to know about the time stamps! Yes, I figure we'd go through the references listed on the talk page. I was thinking maybe there could be a stand-alone "Ending" section based on the mix of commentary? There are numerous sources about the ending to warrant such a section. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 16:00, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: That'll work. I'm at school now, but I'll be available to do some work in five-ish hours. An entire "Ending" section might be a bit much, unless we can find enough notable information in those many sources. I'll look, for sure. Sock (tock talk) 16:03, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: I got the Blu-ray of the film today, I'll be watching through the special features tomorrow. Sock (tock talk) 04:06, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Well, I guess we can check Edge of Tomorrow off the list... looks like you are more active again. :) Still have any interest in Children of Men? Or is there another topic that you'd like to collaborate on? If something else, throw out a few candidates, and we can find common ground. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:39, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

@Erik: Whoops. I completely missed that EOT was even up for GA. And yeah, I am getting more active finally. Finals ended yesterday, so I'm gonna have some free time for awhile. Truthfully, I'm up for working on anything. Children of Men sounds good, it'll give me an excuse to watch it again, haha. Sock (tock talk) 19:43, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Great, glad to hear! We can start a discussion on the talk page to figure out a game plan. Do you have a preferred collaboration approach you'd like to do? I'm thinking we can just talk at first about what should be done for each section. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 19:56, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

That works for me. Then we can just have whoever's available go and do it. I won't be able to do too much, as I'm at work and a bunch of things are blocked, but I can do grammar and formatting stuff for now, then do some research when I get home. Sock (tock talk) 19:59, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi

The Amazon Eve issue aside, I see that you are interested in Entertainment articles... :) Very cool! I used to work in Hollywood in the 90s for Hanna Barbera and Warner Bros. Animation and enjoy editing these kinds of articles as well. Weird circumstances, but nice crossing paths with you. --SChotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 18:10, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

@Scalhotrod: Thank you for being so level-headed and polite! It's always a pleasant surprise. I thought for sure that this message would be you chewing me out, so I'm happy to be wrong! That's way too cool that you worked for those guys, I'd love to have that sort of job. Nice to meet you too! Sock (tock talk) 04:20, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey Sock, no worries and happy that I could surprise you in a good way... :) HB and WB was easily the high point of my career. Kind of hard to have a "bad day at the office" when you work in the original building where the Flintstones and Scooby Doo were created and all of the episodes of the Super Friends and the Smurfs were made. I was lucky enough to actually know Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera and taught both of them how to use their first personal computer and the internet. I was even there when "Mr. Family Guy", Seth McFarlane, was a writer for HB just before he went to Fox to start his show. Anyway, if you need help on anything or want to collaborate on an article, let me know. I'm not always the speediest Editor, but I write decently well and I'm not afraid to use "big words"... :) Take care, --SChotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 15:18, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Hail, Caesar!

Hey Sock, yesterday the date for the film Hail, Caesar!'s release was announced, so I created the article because the filming date is also just 10-11 days further from now. But later I found out that you were contributing a draft on the film article and in which you hadn't added the date yet. So, I'm here to ask you to do a merge or copy-paste the content into the article. Ping me when you reply below. And also I'm thinking of a DYK...so if you have any hook in mind about this film we'll do it together. Thanks. --Captain Assassin! ^{«T ♦ C ♦ G»} 16:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Psycho-Pass

You got the wrong image. The first manga cover is this. The one used is the home media release of the anime.23:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)Tintor2 (talk)

@Tintor2: I didn't add any images to the article. I undid your initial change to the image, but you were correct. For TV series, the image representation should be the title card, not the first season's home media cover. That kind of cover would belong in a theoretical Psycho-Pass (season 1) article. Do you agree that we should restore the title card? Sock (tock talk) 13:20, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Not really because the DVD has the title card so there is no need to have another image.Tintor2 (talk) 16:25, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

@Tintor2: I'm confused. What I'm saying is that TV show articles in general, like The Walking Dead (TV series), Breaking Bad, etc. use the title card. So, why aren't we using this image? We should be. I'm not suggesting another image, I'm suggesting we remove the DVD cover per the standards and restore the title card you initially added. Sock (tock talk) 16:47, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

That would be a thing for project TV but PsychoPass is mainly from Anime Manga Project.22:01, 4 November 2014 (UTC)Tintor2 (talk)

@Tintor2: Ahh, okay. That was my mistake. Thanks for helping me clear it up! Sock (tock talk) 22:46, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Guardians of the Galaxy - Box office

I presented my arguments and no one had replied to them. The discussion was actually archived. So what else am I supposed to do? How many times do I have to restart the discussion? I don't believe that the current version is a consensus. It's just due to the inertia of other editors, who are not willing/interested to make these changes (as you said, you agree with my changes).Spinc5 (talk) 12:33, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

@Spinc5: I saw that the discussion was archived and read through it. But you only had the discussion once, and when it ends nowhere, you should take it to WT:FILM. I would start another thread on the talk page with a link to the archive, then post in WT:FILM that a discussion regarding GOTG's box office is going on [insert link to talk page discussion]. I know it's frustrating, but when something is longstanding and no one has really challeneged it, it's considered to be consensus all the same. Removing that much information with no consensus, especially for an article as busy as GOTG, is a big no-no. I'd be happy to help if you have any questions. Sock (tock talk) 12:37, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Now You See Me: The Second Act

Could we do "caper thriller film"? As that's how the first film page reads. I agree on it not being a comedy, it had funny moments but I wouldn't consider it a comedy but I hate to leave it at just a thriller because that to me is like a suspenseful film and I don't think it's JUST that. Let me know! :) LADY LOTUS • TALK 12:26, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

@Lady Lotus: That seems fine to me! Based on the synopsis, it seems they're more or less going for something similar, so I don't see a problem with that. Also, good to hear from you! How've you been? Sock (tock talk) 12:29, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Good deal :) I've been pretty good! How have you been, haven't run into you for a while! LADY LOTUS • TALK 19:02, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

@Lady Lotus: I only started being active again in the last week or so, so I'd be surprised if you had, haha. Dealing with lots of university stuff, as well as trying to get some video projects up and running. But overall, I'm pretty good too! Sock (tock talk) 19:19, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

What about Misee_Harris_(Actress) ?

Hello Sock , Please check again this article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misee_Harris_(Actress) . & remove the Speedy deletion. Please improve this article. I know this article is notable. Please add more info & citations. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khocon (talk • contribs) 08:33, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

@Khocon: Firstly, why did you post this after I'd already removed the speedy deletion? It took mere seconds after I added it to get rid of it, and this was over a half hour later. Not a problem, it's just kind of confusing. Secondly, while I might be willing to help if you asked, it is in no way my responsibility to bring the article up to snuff. While I don't think it's deserving of speedy deletion, it's got a lot of problems that you seem to be ironing out, which is good. However, just because I mark something for deletion doesn't mean that I am responsible for making the article notable. I'll only mark things that I believe are not notable, regardless of the article's quality, and that's why I removed the tag. I hope that clears things up.

At first readthrough, the article is looking pretty good, but it definitely has some issues you address. I'm not sure how much I can say that hasn't already been said, but I'll toss my hat in and see what I can find. Thanks for asking! Sock (tock talk) 13:50, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Changes to Wikipedia

Hi,

I just had a message saying that you undid a change I made on Wikipedia as it was not constructive. You have my apologies...I left my laptop open to get a drink and my younger, extremely immature brother apparently made some changes to Wikipedia. I don't think this is the only one and as he is 14 he thinks it is extremely funny not to tell me of any others.

I am sorry about this and I hope it does not cause too much bother.

Many thanks

@90.215.21.54: If it makes you feel any better, the same thing has happened to me too. I appreciate the apology, and I trust it won't happen anymore. Tell your brother that "Darth Schnoozalchupe" is one of the more creative pieces of vandalism I've seen on here. It actually gave me a good chuckle, haha. Sock (tock talk) 18:13, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

GotG GA

@Sock: What are your thoughts on getting this ready for nomination? I'd say we are really close, if not there already. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:40, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: You don't have to ping me on my own talk page, haha. But yeah, I'd say it's ready to go. The only thing I think we might be able to find for improvement is an interview with John C. Reilly about the film, but I don't know if one exists. Maybe check through the special features on the home release, I don't know. But I don't think that'd hinder a GAN, and I'd say we're good to go if you'd like to nominate it. Sock (tock talk) 21:09, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

Disregard that first sentence, I gotcha now. Sock (tock talk) 21:10, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I still feel we can add to the Post section, from the FX Guide article. I only added the basics, but we can add some more. I think I came across a Gunn quote too about how servicing Thanos didn't work well, but eventually it did. As for John C. Reilly interview, I don't think one exists. I'm getting the Blu-ray for Christmas and will be watching the extra stuff after that, so there may be some stuff there. So maybe by mid-January? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:30, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Sounds like a plan to me. Sock (tock talk) 21:32, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

@Sock: I had ping'd you over at the GotG talk about the slight expansion I did with the Box office section (don't know if you got it/saw it). Can you please bring your opinion there? - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:32, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

@Favre1fan93: Certainly new to me, I think that's the first time a ping hasn't shown up in my notifications. I can't look at it today (family is still down) but I will definitely look into it tomorrow. Hope you had a good holiday! Sock (tock talk) 12:46, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I didn't get this ping or the one of the new discussion on the GotG talk page. Maybe the system is down. Thank you for looking over the arguments in that discussion. And yes, I did have a nice holiday. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:23, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Hm, must be. I think you have my talk page on watch, so hopefully this reaches you. Also, turns out I actually do have some spare time because my family all went out shopping. I'll be looking at the box office section in a few minutes, just have to eat lunch first. I don't know which holiday you celebrate, but if it's any of the ones involving gifts, did you get anything good? :P Sock (tock talk) 18:26, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I have it on watch. We are all good. Thanks. Take a look at the discussion on the talk pretty much from when I stated I tweaked a bit, nothing I felt was controversial (apparently it was). Celebrate Christmas, and nothing exceptional. Mostly the green stuff which is always the best gift. ;) And then GotG! - Favre1fan93 (talk) 18:34, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Can do. Can't go wrong with money, and I'm envious that you got Guardians. That was one of maybe three things I asked for, but no one in my family talked to each other about what they got me so I just bought it myself, haha. Luckily it'll be here tomorrow, so I'll be watching that wherever I end up for New Year's. I got a good amount of Blu-rays (The Lego Movie, Godzilla, Neighbors, The Raid 2, some others) and a couple PS4 games, so I was a happy camper. Sock (tock talk) 18:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar. I've been editing Wikipedia for a few years now but kind of doing it in a vacuum, so it's nice to have a friend. :) (PS: Go to the Skyfall plot summary and tell me it's not overwritten...) Popcornduff (talk) 18:14, 30 December 2014 (UTC)
