Although they are appreciated, I will remove and occasionally ignore bot and template messages after reading them. Most other messages will be archived. Thank you! |
The Avengers
Hello! Regarding The Avengers film project, this is a particularly unusual article because it is about a film that has not started production yet. Per WP:NFF, we usually start articles about films once they start principal photography because it is a near-guarantee for the film to be completed. This case is unusual because while it does not meet WP:NFF, there is a lot of detail that people think it warrants an article anyway. The best way to look at the project article is that it's an article about recent history, not an article about an unreleased film. If filming does begin, we can revise the article's format to be that of a film -- using the infobox, film-related categories, cast layout, etc. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:21, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Based on that, would the article remain in existence if the project were shelved or cancelled? --Boycool42 (talk) 14:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- Probably. We do not have a lot of precedent for stand-alone articles; projects that don't get to production are typically sections in broader articles, like Jurassic Park IV at the film series article. Hypothetically, if this particular project does not work out, it could be condensed and be a part of Avengers (comics) in other media, like how Justice League (film) was treated. That would depend on discussion down the road when we know production won't happen. Erik (talk | contribs) 15:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- And if I might add to what Erik offered. As the article in question is about a topic that is not-yet-a-film, the topic should not be treated as if it were a film. Until actually in production as-a-film, it is best treated as any other non-film topic so as to avoid confusions. No harm. No foul. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 20:27, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Your recent images

Hi, regarding this edit about the reliability of the cite, I have opened a discussion at the WP:RSN here, thanks.Off2riorob (talk) 17:50, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. --Boycool42 (talk) 18:49, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
I reverted this file back to the original version. The image you uploaded appears to be of concept art for the film and not a logo nor other promotional material intended by the film makers to be used as identification for the film. Also in the future please upload any image in a new namespace that is clearly not a version or derivative of the original image. Thank you.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 23:04, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
A-Team
There are several policies in place for use of non-free images. Specifically, this page would fall under likely not reflecting minimal-use [1] and specfically having a gallery [2]. I loved the movie and the comics were okay, but this seems like a fairly cut and dry policy violation. Maybe try expanding the article with reviews, pulling one of the internal comic images and adding it to describe something about the story or art. -Sharp962 (talk) 13:36, 14 September 2010 (UTC).
- I have just re-removed the images as a clear violation of the WP:NFG guideline which strongly discourages the use of non-free pictures in galleries. I also not that 4 of the 6 images in the gallery were not being used to "show the character's image" as was explicitly stated in their free use rationale, because they did not clearly show the characters. Non-free images can be used in moderation in the text, but they should not be used without commentary to go along with them, as is almost always the case when they are used in a gallery. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- (edit conflict)
- I'd have to agree here - the number of images and their usage on The A-Team (comics) is in violation of Wikipedia's policies on the use of non-free content. At best the article would justify 2 images - the covers of the first issue of the Marvel run and the first issue IDW released. And if IDW released all 4 of the "War Stories" at the same time, pick one.
- There is also going to be a concern about linking to the 5 page previews as external links.

September 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in The Expendables (2010 film), makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Geoff B (talk) 21:57, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- Please see the manual of style for film articles, here. This bit: avoid using the section as a repository for further "in-universe" information that really belongs in the plot summary.. So giving the actor's name, character, and then who they are, what their job is, what they do etc is not what the cast section is for. It is for info about the cast, and the casting process. Additionally, calling the section 'Cast and characters' is stupid. The cast section includes the actor's name and the name of the character they play. Geoff B (talk) 22:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
- When exactly have I threatened you? Childish allegations aside, the first article you list shows exactly where you're going wrong. Here for instance:
- Bale said he was confident in his choice to return in the role because of the positive response to his portrayal in Batman Begins.[11] - sourced info, not in-universe.
- He continued training in the Keysi Fighting Method and performed many of his own stunts,[11][12] but did not gain as much muscle as in the previous film because the new Batsuit allowed him to move with greater agility.[13] - sourced info, not in-universe.
- Bale described Batman's dilemma as whether "[his crusade is] something that has an end. Can he quit and have an ordinary life? The kind of manic intensity someone has to have to maintain the passion and the anger that they felt as a child, takes an effort after a while, to keep doing that. At some point, you have to exorcise your demons."[14] - sourced info, not in-universe
- He added, "Now you have not just a young man in pain attempting to find some kind of an answer, you have somebody who actually has power, who is burdened by that power, and is having to recognize the difference between attaining that power and holding on to it."[15] - sourced info, not in-universe.
- Bale felt Batman's personality had been strongly established in the first film, so it was unlikely his character would be overshadowed by the villains, stating: "I have no problem with competing with someone else. And that's going to make a better movie."[16] - sourced info, not in-universe.
So that's you told. As for being speechless, what's wrong, can't I take a break from Wikipedia for an hour without upsetting you? Sorry, but I have other things to do. Geoff B (talk) 23:37, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
I don't know if the article has seen enough changes to warrant semi-protection yet. If it keeps on happening, however, then yes, we should definitely apply for it. Geoff B (talk) 19:25, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
- 'Everyone'? You mean, all those people who responded in the affirmative on the article's talk page? Let me educate you a little.
- 1) 'Everyone' so far appears to be one or two editors who think they are right. Well done, yes, that is everyone.
- 2) You only think it begs the question, or it actually does beg the question? Either way, whether I have seen the film or not, it's irrelevant. What you have failed to understand is that one does not have to be personally acquainted with the subject of the article to edit it. You do not have to be a surgeon to edit the surgery article, you do not have to have played a game, seen a film, heard a song, or any one of a thousand things in order to edit their respective articles. If I have seen the film, it does not mean I now have a qualification and am now allowed to edit the article. If I haven't seen the film, it does not disqualify me from editing the article. Try to remember that in future.
- 3) Provide a reliable source. See WP:RS and see WP:CIVIL while you're about it. Geoff B (talk) 21:12, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Edit war warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Fulcrum (Chuck). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Active Banana (bananaphone 15:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Fulcrum (Chuck). Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Wikipedia article are NOT allowed as "references". They are user generated content that fail our "no original reseach" policy.
Please revert yourself. Active Banana (bananaphone 15:11, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Non-free content
You are uploading a great amount of non-free content which is not needed. Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, and the use of non-free content is extremely strictly governed by the non-free content criteria- basically, non-free content is used as an absolute last resort. We do not, for example, need to use four screenshots in Chuck Versus the Leftovers; one is more than enough. I'm going to remove a large number of the images you have uploaded from articles, and I advise you avoid using non-free content until you are more familiar with our policies and guidelines on the subject. J Milburn (talk) 13:59, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
- If there are other articles with problems, you're welcome to fix them or point them out to me. I was looking through your uploads, not through a list of Chuck episodes. J Milburn (talk) 14:33, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
Sure, feel free. J Milburn (talk) 20:09, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Hawaii Five-0
Just FYI, since you asked the question in an edit summary, describing Danny as Detective Sgt. Danny Williams is completely correct. His rank is sergeant, police ranks being more or less aligned with military ranks, as I'm sure you know. In addition, he's a police detective, which allows him to use the title Detective. As a result, the form in most police departments is to combine the two: Detective Sgt. (usually written like that), Detective Lt., etc. (Check The Closer, where they all have rank in the LAPD Detective Bureau.) I've just tweaked the character description and first description of Danny, including fixing his title, and thought a quick message here might avoid confusion.

Chuck Continuity
A LOT of care needs to be taken with these sections. Too many of the "continuity" details being used were rather trivial and inconsequential to the article and could be branded as trivia. Others were talking about plot points already detailed in the episode summary. I think this section should be reserved for issues such as Clara's age in Masquerade (3 mos. on Valentine's Day means she would have been born around the time of vs. the Leftovers) or significant mythology details. Details such as Morgan sleeping with Carina in S3 jeopardizing his relationship with Alex in S4 just aren't of major importance and worth being singled out. Ambaryer (talk) 22:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Chuck Versus Santa Claus
I have reviewed your article and failed it, as it unfortunately is not ready for GA status. Please take a look at my comments, and consider re-nominating it later when my concerns have been addressed. If you have any other questions, please let me know. Thanks, Ruby2010 talk 16:58, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- They are displayed on the review page. Normally a bot transcludes them onto the talkpage, but for some reason it failed to do so this time. My apologies. Thanks, Ruby2010 talk 21:00, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, you need citations for all of those. It shouldn't be too difficult to find good sources. Usually episode reviews state who wrote and directed the episode (I used reviews from MTV and AV Club to cite this in White Tulip for instance). Also, try googling the episode title and the guest stars. Chances are someone wrote an article announcing their casting (such as here). That's typically what I do to find this information. Hope that helps! Ruby2010 talk 21:54, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- That's pretty much a judgment call depending on the reviewer. When I reviewed your article, four of the eight sources were from IGN, which seemed like undue weight from one place (especially when I'm sure there are many other good websites that could be used).

Moe Dusa Edit
Your edit here was also "inconsistent and unconstructive", seeing as how it broke the wikilink to the character article. Also note that there is some uncertainty as to the correct spelling of Moe's first name (Mowadh or Mowahd) which was the reason behind my edit in the first place, please refer to Talk:List of NCIS: Los Angeles characters#Mowadh or Mowahd?. Thanks. -- Jake Fuersturm (talk) 02:37, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

I was partly in error (including telling you that you made a mistake). In SNL season articles, bold has denoted WU anchor, but not WU anchor only. I'm not sure why it was worded that way in this article. In any event, my apologies for stating that your edit was an error. Thanks for the communication. Best wishes.

Re: Question
Sorry, had missed your question and only just saw it. I'm not sure - personally I wouldn't have a problem as it could potentially help the reader by breaking up the information but it would depend on the Television WikiProject's manual of style for episode articles. If it doesn't say one way or the other, it might be worth asking on the project's main talk page. Miyagawa (talk) 21:36, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

GA Nomination of Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff

Humble request
Would you mind filling out brief edit summaries? I watch most of the Chuck articles, and I usually don't bother reviewing your edits, since you do good work, but when 20 new Chuck article edits show up in a single refresh of my Watchlist, it would help to separate things like ref changes (which I wouldn't even bother looking at) from content changes (which I might be interested in just reading, if nothing else). Thanks! --Fru1tbat (talk) 15:39, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
GA nomination of Chuck Versus the Family Volkoff
Hi, have you had any luck with finding sources for the Production section? Once it has been expanded and I've checked its prose, I'll pass the article. --Starstriker7(Talk) 23:24, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
- Don't get discouraged, no matter how insignificant it may seem to them. There's always something you can use!
- I took a quick look at some of the article's sources again. In this source, Alan Sepinwall's review of the episode, Sepinwall discusses various ideas that the writers tried, and he discussed as to whether or not they were carried out appropriately. It will take some extrapolation, but you could probably discuss how the writers incorporated all these ideas with regards to continuity in the show (ie. the role of the "emotional reversal" when Chuck became the cool, controlled one and Sarah started freaking out). Just an idea, but it might help out a bit. --Starstriker7(Talk) 05:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- That should be enough. :)
- I will evaluate the section for clear prose in a sec. --Starstriker7(Talk) 15:13, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- All that is left are the prose comments for the Production section, and a small gap in the article involving the BlueRay/DVD release date, which should be included. Afterwards, this article will be all set. --Starstriker7(Talk) 15:34, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
- In response to your final comment on the review page, you are very welcome. Seriously, don't stop building up Wikipedia wherever you can. I admire what you've done so far; in building up the Chuck articles, you are doing justice to how this awesome show is represented on Wikipedia. :) --Starstriker7(Talk) 06:15, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

A question about the Red John article
Hi, I have a question about the comments you've left in your reversions of the Red John article. You're saying it was confirmed that the man in the season 3 finale really was Red John. Can you identify your source for that? I've looked for Bruno Heller's interviews, and I can't find that confirmation. (I found him saying that Bradley Whitford's character really died, but I can't find him confirming his identity as Red John.)
Note: I've read the Talk page and the Inlandia Press interview cited in the article. I'm going to post something in the Talk page, but I specifically wanted to ask about your claim that it's been confirmed that it was Red John. (Note: You can just reply here. Or on the Red John talk page.) -- Tirmie (talk) 17:07, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
