== Continuity inconsistencies ==
I understand and appreciate why you reverted my edits and I shall leave it the page that way.
That said, however, I feel you comments regarding your edits are denigrating - "I think this editor would be happier editing at the TARDIS wikia". I find this comment patronising in the extreme and demonstrative of a perceived superiority.
I believe Wikipedia policy is to comment on the quality of the edits not the user. It is not for you to say where and what I edit, please kindly refrain from doing so.
I'm sorry that I breached my promise not to post here again. However, I was extremely affronted by your comments and felt I had to address them, should you comment like that again, whether against me or another editor.
I am sure you meant no offence, I mean none now and hope you have not taken any. I am deeply sorry if you have.
Kind regards,
[[User:Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh|Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh]] ([[User talk:Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh|talk]]) 14:57, 13 July 2015 (UTC) [[User:Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh|Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh]] ([[User talk:Gothaparduskerialldrapolatkh|talk]]) 14:57, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

No bother whatsoever
The MO of that anon vandal seems similar to Bambifan, but that IP resolves to Michigan. Bambi does the majority of his nonsense from Alabama. However, if you even so much as think you smell this guy, please let me know. His destruction and damage is nearly incaluculable. Thanks for letting me know and believe me, asking about something like this is not a bother. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 15:41, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That both Mario Payne and Copperman were the same editor, both socks of David Beals? Payne was reverting Copperman, but that's not unusual, and Copperman's posts, particularly on talk page, should have been reverted. Article pages are different, although anyone reinstating a sock edit is then responsible for that edit. Dougweller (talk) 11:35, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello ever-helpful Wikipedian! I thought you may be interested to know that I've blocked this IP. It's dynamic, of course, but I've unconventionally blocked the person behind the IP so that they can be quickly blocked for block evasion/continued disruptive editing when they pop up again. Pinging Betty Logan as I believe they've been involved with this user's shenanigans as well. Have a delightful weekend, --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots20:26, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the update and for your efforts Ponyo. For several months they were only hitting film and TV articles with Spartacus being the one that was almost always on their rounds. Unfortunately, the latest IP 81.155.98.249 (talk·contribs) moved on to historical articles. I'll keep an eye out for future editing by this person. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend as well!!

David Copperfield
Hi MarnetteD -
Sorry for marking my edit as 'minor'; I meant to click 'watch' and hit the wrong button. About the gross edit, is there a problem if I cut it down and reinsert it? I opine that the original plot missed out some key details, as well as being terse enough to be slightly misleading; especially in the second last paragraph of the summary. Thanks, De la Marck (talk) 22:40, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your message De la Marck. The problem with expanding the plot is that if what is important to each reader is included the section can wind up as long, or longer, than the original book. Also, what is important to you may not be what is important to another person who has read the book. Now, I am not saying that the plot shouldn't be edited at all but WP:PLOT is the guideline to follow when working on those sections. An old adage that is a good rule of thumb (an adage within an adage there) to use is "Less is More" - in other words take what you think is important and then pare it down and then pare it down again. One idea is to tinker with it in your sandbox until you get it to a spot that you are happy with it and then add it to the article but that is just a suggetion. Cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD|Talk22:51, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello MarnetteD, Many thanks for adding the link to my message to Ponyo. I must confess to being so cross that this strange "editor" had again re-surfaced, that I completely forgot to add the link. I am concerned with this "editor"'s attitude, but cannot see how they can stopped without blocking a host of IP's. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 21:17, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome David J Johnson and it looks like I was posting a message on your talk page at the same time you were writing this :-) Thanks again for all that you are doing in this situation as well as your other work here at WikiP. MarnetteD|Talk21:22, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wayne Allwine
Listen MarnetteD, I know that you already told me never to reply to your talk page ever again. But the reason why I'm replying is because I made the Allwine article a lot better now, and I made it look like just like the way you want it too bee. So, as of all that it goes now, I actually get what you mean now. I just couldn't understand of all this confusion I've been having with this for a month, and I'm also sorry if I got all aggravated with it, and I also apologize for calling you "crazy" too, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean too say that to you. I really hope you appreciate it the way it looks now, I did my best to make the way you wanted it to be. FrozenFan2 (talk) 23:40, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Also, this is my last message on your page, because you already told me never to reply to your talk page again. And I'll do what you say, I won't reply too your talk page again. FrozenFan2 (talk) 23:42, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi MarnetteD! Hope you are well. I have been off Wikipedia a lot lately, but thought of you today and wondered what you were up to. I see you still keep an eye on the George Harrison article.
I was also wondering if you wanted to review any of the articles I have made available to be reviewed for GA. It would be good to work with you again. If you are interested, go to Wikipedia:Good article nominations and search for my username. I have two left still needing to be reviewed by a good reviewer (I wrote both of them from scratch). If you are not interested, that's okay too, I'm just throwing it out there. Cheers. Prhartcom (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to change whatever. It needs a good proofing. Took me 2 days to translate the whole thing and find sourcing for what I couldn't access from the Spanish site. I am blinded by it all. I sort of left the plays in " " rather than italics thinking that I might go back and put them in a list. But was just so glad to get the last part of the translation done, after 2 days that I left it. My brain and my fingers needed a rest. SusunW (talk) 01:00, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for you message SusunW. First off I now realize I spelled your username incorrectly in my edit summary - my apologies. I took a very brief skim through things before heading off to my Sunday evening viewing. There are four different programs that I am hooked on at the moment. I noticed more plays but didn't have time to alter them all. I'll try to get back to the article when I have a chance but the early part of this week in RL is going to be a pain. Once again congrats on all your work and I hope that you enjoy the rest you so richly deserve. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk04:23, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
DR correction
Thanks for fixing those annoying "hanging references". I've been on the page the last few days in a DR with another editor who thinks there is a dispute, even though consensus was reached and compromises offered. Those references hanging at the bottom were a pain in the ass. Onel5969 (talk) 00:36, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome Onel5969. I think it is almost a year now that we have had to add that template to keep refs with the section of a talk page where they are used. So many editors add a ref to their comments and then never pay attention to the fact that they keep moving to the bottom of the page. Mind you there is no reason for them to know about the situation - changes keep happening to the way things work and us editors in the trenches are rarely informed about them :-) Now the whole thing is avoidable if people just use single brackets but I am not complaining. As a wikignome adding the template is right up my alley. Cheers to ya and have a delightful weekend. MarnetteD|Talk01:40, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A) The term refers to a young goat as much as it does to humans B) This is an encyclopedia not a grade school essay and C) The fact that more than one editor has reverted should tell you something. Try reading WP:CONSENSUSMarnetteD|Talk17:58, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again - any chance you could have a look at Talk:Saoirse Ronan? While I accept that actor is a gender neutral term and we have guidelines promoting use of gender neutral language, apparently consensus must actually be reached on each individual article. You may be able to suggest a compromise or a central location where a discussion on that might take place. Regards, BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!11:02, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Voice actor sock
Hello MarnetteD - I'm drawing a blank and hoping you can help me. I know there is a long-term disruptive IP hopper who targets voice actor articles, but I can't remember where the page listing the suspected IPs is located. Does this ring a bell? --Jezebel's Ponyobons mots20:42, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One thousand percent correct Redrose64. That is what happens when a) the keys are right next to each other and b) I type without my reading lamp on. While I have moved up the list over the years I doubt I'll ever get that high in the ranking since most of the editors above me on the list are still active. Thanks so much for letting me know about my error and cheers. MarnetteD|Talk13:46, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep at it. I went from 399 to 300 in a little over ten months, 6 February to 18 December 2013; having climbed from 499 to 399 in under six months (15 August 2012 to 6 February 2013). --Redrose64 (talk) 13:56, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
528 edits to go. I do that in about 4 days. The trick is to find some maintenance category, somewhere that errors get listed but nobody else bothers with, and knock off as many as you can. One column of a full cat page is about 67 pages, so 8 columns should see you right. It doesn't have to be a relatively-unmonitored category: Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls has quite a few people on the case, but still has over 35,000 pages that could do with fixing. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:10, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Gareth Griffith-Jones and Redrose64 there I was thinking that your editing might be reduced in three months time with all the telly watching that you will be doing. Then I realized that - with all the crazy fan, wishful score and "I hate these match officials" edits that are guaranteed take place your work will increase!

Ah, Rugby World Cup! I don't think I even noticed the link, in my haste -- some things are too subtle for me when there is so much drama afoot. ;-) Thanks for the clarification. Since I seem to be full of tangents today: I had no idea that rugby was named after Rugby School (nor probably even that there was a school by that name), until I saw Tom Brown's School Days a few years ago. Softlavender (talk) 06:26, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've not seen it, but I've read the book - or at least, the Dean & Son abridged edition of the early 1970s (ISBN 0-603-03032-7). It's chapter V "Rugby and Football", and the part where East describes how the game is played shows where terms like "try" and "touch" come from. --Redrose64 (talk) 09:48, 28 June 2015 (UTC)|[reply]
<scratches head> Wait, you live in NZ now? Or are you just visiting there? You have never disclosed this before within my earshot. LOL about the hyperlinks. You don't have to link Blighty though; I've known what that is for 9 years. Hey right now I'm watching this BBC WWI series on PBS called The Crimson Field, and they talk about getting their "Blighty tickets" when they are incapacitated. Also, thanks for the info, Redrose; the book sounds rather interesting. Softlavender (talk) 10:55, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The phrase "Arnold is seldom on stage" means that Dr. Arnold is rarely part of the central action in the book, although often mentioned. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:15, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I confused you SoftLavender. No, I have never visited New Zealand; I was watching all the matches on TV. I have done some Copy-editing ...

Looks like there was a lot of fun while I was asleep - typical. My first encounter with TB was this TV version Tom Brown's Schooldays (TV serial). That would lead to (as happened so often with programs shown on Masterpiece Theatre) my reading the book. I can't remember when I saw my first rugby match but it would have been in the 70s as well and had to have been shown on ABC's Wide World of Sports. S Gareth and Redrose have been very helpful in keeping me up to date on specifics in the sport and events like the Six Nations Championship. To add some clarification to one of Gareth's earlier posts - he is referring to the fact that the 2011 World Cup was held in New Zealand thus we had to be up at all hours to see the matches. This one, being in England, will be much easier on our sleep patterns :-) Gareth I just checked and it looks like we well be getting nine matches on our regular cable but all will be available on live streaming so that is good news. Cheers to all. MarnetteD|Talk14:04, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If people intend reading (or re-reading) TBSD, you might like to know that the places mentioned in Chapter 1 (such as White Horse Hill, the Manger, Blowingstone Hill) are all real places, I went to several of them in May 2014.

I sure understand your sentiments Onel5969. Several good editors have left over the years because of the nonsense that goes on. Gareth and I still miss The Old Jacobite.

Again, I am sorry and apologise for all the offence and disruption which ensued my actions.
To ensure this does not re-occur, I promise to avoid this talk-page in future and that you shall never hear from me again.

I hate to see you so disturbed by this miscreant. M is much better at coping and dealing with this provocation on WP than anyone else I have come across. Sorrowfully, it would seem that this contemptible behaviour has become the norm on WP these days. My advice is always the same: do not let them win by "getting to you"; walk away and starve them of fuel. It is not the editing but rather the fight that inspires their vile modus operandi. Choose a different subject here on WP and you are the vanquisher and they are the disadvantaged. You are respected here and are surrounded by admiring friends. — | Gareth Griffith-Jones |The WelshBuzzard| —09:58, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the late reply Onel5969. I didn't have a chance to see this until this morning (my time). It looks like you have put in a good deal of work to be thorough and comprehensive. The one thing that I would add to Gareth's comments is that, if you proceed, there is no way to know how things will shake out. In my decade here I have seen reports like this succeed and others fail. There is just no consistency to how these are handled. Even when there was a "Request for comments/user" board it could go either way. Here User talk:Antandrus/observations on Wikipedia behavior#Here is another possible addition is an observation I made almost three years ago on the talk page for the marvelous essay created by Antandrus. Now I know it seems like we are throwing cold water on you. IMO you should proceed as you see fit. There are problems with the way that editor works and you have presented a case for that. My thoughts might be summed up as - If you get a neutral or negative response I don't want it to drive you away from editing. All the best to you on WikiP and, even more so, off. MarnetteD|Talk16:21, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Morning MD. Not sure if you've seen this but highly recommended. A masterpiece. Really special, it's like a dream. Gave me chills in many parts, spiritually very powerful. It's stolen the crown as the best film of 1967 and hit my top ten list! If you think how many great films were made during the Czech new Wave too and Czech film critics thought Marketa the best of them all! I urge you to get on Criterion DVD! ♦ Dr. Blofeld09:15, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
We already discussed it last year, Blofeld. If you like the movie you might like also The Valley of the Bees, another great film by Vláčil whose plot is situated in the middle ages. It's very sad and depressive. Vláčil was a complicated and depressive personality, but also an artist with exceptional imagination. His films are not only stories of wild passion and cruelty, but also breathtaking panoramatic compositions, somtetimes reminding me of the works of another great Czech artist of the 20th century, Josef Sudek.[7] I'm glad you like the film. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:59, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A review on Amazon: "If you can imagine a cross between Tarkovsky's Andrei Rublev and Leone's Once Upon A Time In The West (all made within a year of each other), you might have a notion of what Vlacil's Marketa Lazerova is like. Throw in a dash of Bergman's Virgin Spring, and you're almost there. Named by Czech critics as the best Czech film of all time, Marketa Lazerova is a poetic social critique/examination of human kind, in particular when operating outside the confines of "civilization."♦ Dr. Blofeld12:01, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
High praise indeed Dr. Blofeld. Looks like there are some interesting extras on the Criterion Collection disc. It is now on my films to acquire list. The films of Czech new wave are extraordinary. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk14:00, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The amazing thing about it is that you feel like you've literally gone back into medieval times in watching it. I suppose Rublev is the closest comparison, but there's similarities to certain Bergman films, reminded me of Dersu Uzala in parts too. It's one of those films which us film buffs are constantly trying to find in exploring world cinema, but don't come along as good as that often, and it always comes as a surprise too, I mean I'd heard good things about Forman, but never heard of this director!♦ Dr. Blofeld14:18, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Glauber Rocha is quite a scary director, unsettling to watch his films at times! Not in the "horror" "scary" sense, but because he's so intense, some scenes at times are a bit too dynamic/politically manic for comfort.♦ Dr. Blofeld16:39, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ebyabe a UK show that I really like is Ripper Street - good in its own right but I also think (WP:OR) that it has echoes (for those among us who were browncoats from the beginning) of Firefly (TV series). Especially in its music, language and the shifting loyalties of it main characters. By that I mean that they will act on self interest at times but they still trust and support each other when things are at there most dire. Its first and third seasons are top notch - the second is still good. I just finished watching the 1st season of Halt and Catch Fire (TV series) on DVD. My first viewing on TV was so so. I felt that it was trying to be a Mad Men for the 80s but my second viewing left me with a better impression - removing commercials and all the scrawl at the corners advertising other programs is always a plus. It also captures the excitement of those who wanted to push the boundaries of what a computer could become way back when. MarnetteD|Talk14:37, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anyway, cheers and enjoy the viewing. :) --‖ Ebyabetalk - Welfare State ‖ 00:44, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I understand and appreciate why you reverted my edits and I shall leave it the page that way.
That said, however, I feel you comments regarding your edits are denigrating - "I think this editor would be happier editing at the TARDIS wikia". I find this comment patronising in the extreme and demonstrative of a perceived superiority.
I believe Wikipedia policy is to comment on the quality of the edits not the user. It is not for you to say where and what I edit, please kindly refrain from doing so.
I'm sorry that I breached my promise not to post here again. However, I was extremely affronted by your comments and felt I had to address them, should you comment like that again, whether against me or another editor.
I am sure you meant no offence, I mean none now and hope you have not taken any. I am deeply sorry if you have.
