Help

I attempted to sign on reference desk/language, but the signbot came up and signed my message twice and marked it as unsigned. Please help, I'm viewing it as insulting. Look at this! Gsmgm 21:09, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi Gsmgm, you did try to sign , but you didn't get it quite right - to make the signature work, just type ~~~~ at the end of your post. Please don't feel insulted - lots of us sometimes make little slips like that, and sinebot just tried to keep things tidy! I do hope this helps, but do ask again if I haven't explained it very well. DuncanHill (talk) 21:13, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

eehhm, four tides was the exact number I typed, I think also I overreacted(I usaually do), and tagged it insulting. So I wonder why it happens. Gsmgm 21:16, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

That hopelessly proved it, I used 4 tildes on sinebots sandbox, and it signed it! The second time! Gsmgm 21:19, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

In which case, all I can say is - most peculiar! Maybe try the Help Desk (there is a link in the welcom box above). DuncanHill (talk) 21:23, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I've solved it! Lesson of the day: Never, ever use raw signatures without typing in the box, Thanks, problem solved Gsmgm (talk) 21:25, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

OK cool - and as I said, any other problems, then do please ask, best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 21:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 21:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Very much appreciate your sincere attempts at keeping discourse on a collaborative and civil spirit.

Constructing a new article in userspace

You can work on a new article in userspace very easily. Just type User:Gsmgm/nameofnewarticle in the search box, and click "go". This will take you to a new page, which you can create and edit just like a new page in article space. To get you started, just follow this redlink (when you start editing it, it will turn blue) User:Gsmgm/sandbox. Hope that helps! DuncanHill (talk) 13:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thank you very much, I need a review of the prototype in about two months, can you help? Gsmgm (talk) 14:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, just a reminder that userspace is still subject to policies, see WP:USER for more info. DuncanHill (talk) 14:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Christopher Dodd, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. I saw there was a link, but it was not a valid URL. WP:BLP applies here; let's be careful to keep things within policy.  Frank  |  talk  12:35, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

perhaps you dont understand that the review section was deplorable and the whole article was done by two red names,

the reception out is fine for me

some of the reviews from real film critics would be nice

but you honestly think i have the time, patience, or need to go cite a bunch of references on the page of a movie that nobody will ever see?

wikipedia is not a lifestyle and it is not a substitute for friends, family, occupation, and a social life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.55.14.240 (talk) 13:30, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

there is no need for dispute resolution

i realized citations necessary would appear all the over place

i was not trying to rewrite the article.. i was trying to draw attention to how far it crossed over into advertising and lies..

i have done this before.. i alter a really bad section the other way.. maybe not in the most neutral fashion.. then when the correcting starts i come back a few days later and the article is more neutral.

as long as the reception is out of the page i am happy.. i couldnt find one of those reviews when i googled and even if they were real, which i highly highly doubt considering there would be some kind of record, they were clearly cherry picked by someone with an interest in promoting the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.55.14.240 (talk) 13:36, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
