Argentine cinema

Hello your Lugness. I was wondering if you could create some classic Argentina film director templates for me for directors such as Mario Soffici (done), Luis César Amadori etc. You can find the most notable directors in Category:Films by Argentine directors. Its time the articles were connected together and coordinate it I think and also help me dig out the missing articles which were missed when drawing up the lists on the dark ages.....Many of the articles like Dieciséis años are isolated when they are directed by notable directors. Now if only I had these books].... Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 10:15, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to create any missing articles too, meanwhile though I'll fill out some of the stubs. I'd actually forgotten how much fun it is editing film articles. Good thing is that any film posters or screenshots from the old era can be uploaded to the commons! Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 12:01, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can you remember the name of the film editor who creates lots of film director templates and articles who we guided a while back? Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 15:24, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah that's right. I just noticed that both Michael Gothard and Jill Bennett (British actress) who appeared in For Your Eyes Only both committed suicide between 1990-1992. Funnily enough both did seem the gloomy sort in that film. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 11:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Silvertone Records (1930)

A tag has been placed on Silvertone Records (1930) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Silvertone Records (1930)

The article Silvertone Records (1930) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claim to significance fails WP:CORP

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Codf1977 (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Silvertone Records (1930)

I have nominated Silvertone Records (1930), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Silvertone Records (1930). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Codf1977 (talk) 09:04, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Me thinks somebody is compelled to delete this.... Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 11:41, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Assessing films

I did not know before. Thank you! Do you know who decided this and why? –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:29, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your prompt reply. I will ask there. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:48, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for the barnstar, Lugnuts! It's my pleasure adding these things, and I'll continue to do so when I've got extra time & want a break from my usual editing areas. Silent film / classic comedy was actually the first area I worked in, before I got tempted over to Japanese erotic cinema-- first to counter the heavy deletion in that area, and then just to expand our coverage of the subject because it's so damned interesting... If that subject ever gets officially banned (or I get tired of it), Silent film & comedy could likely be my next refuge... Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 13:58, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again for the heads up and for recognizing others. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 16:46, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good to see you reward the pained "Japanese porno dude". He thoroughly deserves it. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 11:43, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's tough work, Blofeld, but somebody's got to do it! ;-) Dekkappai (talk) 20:18, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tribute to Eric Rohmer

As you have changed to "keep", might you wish to strikethrough your "delete"? Might then be closable per snow, and not confuse. Thanks, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:48, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion noted. Lugnuts (talk) 06:51, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Georg Wilhelm Pabst

I was trying to give it some order, the only way it seems is to rename the actual article to the original german release title. As it is some are in German and some in English, most of the English titles are just translations as it was never officially released like that. Tstrobaugh (talk) 14:11, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ballerina (film)

Please read Help:Interlanguage_links#Purpose and revert this edit. Thanks.Tstrobaugh (talk) 20:06, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

same with this one.Tstrobaugh (talk) 20:07, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please fix the above edits as requested. Thanks.Tstrobaugh (talk) 14:28, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there some problem? You seem to be editing but haven't yet fixed these edits. Let me know.Tstrobaugh (talk) 15:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to fix. Lugnuts (talk) 17:30, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. On your edit summary you said: " links shouldn't go outside English wikipedia", I provided a link (above) to wikipedia policy that states that you should link to other language wiki's when they have an article that the English wikpedia doesn't. What is the basis of your claim that "There's nothing to fix"? Thanks.Tstrobaugh (talk) 18:21, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So basically your argument is that you know better than wikipedia policy and you aren't going to observe it? Just want to get on record that that is your position. Correct me if I'm wrong.Tstrobaugh (talk) 18:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Undocumented edit

I see you don't have rollback permissions so I'm confused as to how you did an undocumented edit. You edited here and even though it says you only edited the "infobox" section, my previous edit was deleted. How do you explain this?Tstrobaugh (talk) 20:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What missing content are you referring to? The Erich Ponto link is still in the article, I don't see any discrepancies. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:06, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see it either. Sometimes intermediate edits can be lost if one (or both) of the two parties edit-conflict with each other and one repairs the edit conflict by just pasting in their edit from the box for "your revision", but unless a third edit is missing that doesn't seem to be the case here. Protonk (talk) 21:43, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My bad, thanks for taking a look. I was looking at the "cast" section, I see it now in the infobox, I thought I had added the foreign language wiki link to the "cast" section.Tstrobaugh (talk) 23:53, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pendulum

Lol, what happened at The Pendulum, the Pit and Hope? Did we move the article exactly simultaneously? We both have the move in our edit histories. :p Smetanahue (talk) 16:59, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Czech film

I have many more to create. I have many Polish film and actors also to start. Thankyou for your expansions.Starzynka (talk) 21:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC) I see many red links on actors on here which have articles on other wikipedias. I will try to start what I can. Actors in multiple film also connect articles together so is worth it. Few editors working on non American film I seeStarzynka (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ivy Bean

The eyes are being rolled...... An encyclopedia entry about an old woman who used the Internet. LOL. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 16:46, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The laughable thing is that one of the !keepers thinks she is going to be notable in 100 years time and that this news story of the moment is going to continue. As far as I can see an old woman who used the Internet fpr the last two years of her life died. That's it!! So that means wikipedia automatically has a biography about the 102 years of her life in which she didn't use the Internet and lived a life as mundane and common as anybody with nothing notable to discuss for 102 years. At best this should make a small paragraph in the Twitter/Facebook article for being on record as the oldest user. What IO can't believe it how some people completely bend the guidelines to keep something they like. This will be forgotten by most in a few weeks time. Oh but this lady was kissed by Peter Andre, so she must be notable... The difference between newspaper fodder of the week and an encyclopedia diminishees, somewhat worryingly..

Redlinked record labels, and epic movies (remix)

I found 2 you dont have on your list: Embryo Records, a vanity label created by/for Herbie Mann in the late 60's or early 70's. There is also an Embryo Records for disco music from the 2000's. the embryo label from herbie mann is a personal favorite of mine, but im not sure it counts as notable. i know your list hasnt been updated for a while, so i guess im just exploring and enjoying your user pages. you "voted" to keep the epic movie lists, and while i disagree, i checked here to see your editing background. You obviously know what you are doing, and i want to thank you for your extensive work here. If you think the articles can be salvaged, and that the term "epic" is eventually capable of being more clearly defined, i would seriously consider changing my vote. the issues reflected in this afd are big ones, and i want to understand them better. I am really not a deletionist, more of an eventualist, but i have trouble with terms that sound vague. maybe the Variety critic i mention has enough stature to allow us to quote him. he should have an article anyway, dont you think?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:17, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BFI 75 Most Wanted

Thanks! I stumbled across the Most Wanted section of the BFI website at the weekend while researching a particular film, and it kept me enthralled for hours so I thought it was worth a share to point others in its direction. There's loads of absolutely fascinating stuff on there for film buffs, fantastic stills and promotional material etc. And if you want your laugh of the day, have a look at the screenshot for The First Men in the Moon - it's a hoot....seems like folk in 1919 imagined the moon to be peopled by golliwogs, fantastically un-PC!

Your edit summary

Please don't slander me in your edit summaries. At no point did I remove the reference for Whitworth Street. I've already had to ask you to tone down your provocative edit summaries. Aiken ♫ 14:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I still you're still using provocative and childish edit summaries like "more failure!". Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you're just trying to piss me off, but it's not happening. Unlike you, it seems, I'm trying to get on with things without holding grudges. I've accepted the close of "no consensus" on the streets AFD, and tried to clean it up, and all you've done since then is attempt to revert my efforts, accuse me of disrupting Wikipedia, being a vandal, and being a "failure".

G.W. Pabst template

Hi,
Tstrobaugh has been fooling around with this, but you appear to have concurred.
He's got films with well-known titles in English now changed to German. I don't give a shit; I read German. But what about everybody else?
He has given a famous film Westfront a Swedish title because the poster which illustrates the article happens to be in Swedish. If the poster had been in Mongolian, ...
In other words, he knoweth not what he doeth.

NOTOC

What is the use of putting __NOTOC__ like in this edit [1] done by you. --Sreejith K (talk) 12:40, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Cinema of templates

Hi, I just wanted to query the use of these templates with you. No doubt they made good sense when you created them as they provided handy links to a country's "Cinema of" article, but I understand that we no longer do this per WP:EGG and now all they do is add a bit of plain text (which would be easier to just type out) and a category (which is probably better added manually). Is there any need to retain them? PC78 (talk) 20:47, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Le Voyage en douce

I started stubs on actors. Please add imdb etc. Thankyou.Starzynka (talk) 14:02, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a few need redirecting. I checked Helene Garcia and only one film so I redirect. Some may be expand. If you want some stubs start on actors or films please ask. I can start films/actors using a national cinema type website as a source.Starzynka (talk) 14:09, 21 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Croatian films

Hi. I have created many Croatian films, see Category:Croatian films. Can you add cast/director to some?Starzynka (talk) 12:08, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! When working through if the article doesn't have plot/text on other wiki can you please remove the expand croatian tag? Most of them have not text to transfer, only actor/director listings. Unfortunately my summer holiday is soon over and back to work but I always try to edit when I can. In particular I want to transfer Polish and German films, so many. Titles can be moved to English later. Starzynka (talk) 08:03, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Le p'tit Parigot

Hi, thanks for working on this. I noticed you added cat Silent films. I had added that myself but removed it because I am not sure it is. Could you share where you found the info this is a silent? Thanks and regards, Superp (talk) 19:48, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly advice

Keep your edit summaries civil. MMN will find himself at ANI / RFC /WQA before too long the way he is carrying on at AfD (I'm hoping you know what I am referring to and won't need to post diffs). Mjroots (talk) 20:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
