February 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from The Count of Monte Cristo (2002 film). When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

DonIago: If you are watching this page, which I hope you are even though you posted an automated message, then you should be able to tell that I am not new to Wikipedia, and the edit I made was intentional and I would argue justifiable. You reverted my edit with the explanation that the plot summary was "vastly too long", though this is completely subjective. I won't argue over the matter, but if you feel so strongly as to revert my edit due to disagreement, then I suggest you edit the plot summary instead of quibbling over maintenance templates. - Boneyard90 (talk) 22:19, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

If you're not new, then I would argue that you should review WP:FILMPLOT, which stipulates that plot summaries should be 400-700 words. The summary from which you removed the maintenance template is currently over 900. In that case, removal of the template would clearly seem to be inappropriate unless there is a consensus to keep the summary long at the article's Talk page. As for your suggestion that I edit it myself, if you review the article's history you will see that I have on multiple occasions. The length of the summary is a secondary issue; your removal of the template due to the fact that you were apparently unaware of the guideline was the larger concern. DonIago (talk) 05:01, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Ok, I'll say you make a good point on the film plot guideline, and maybe that should go in your automated post, rather than the condescending d-bag tone you currently use. But 700 words, 900 words, seems like an inconsequential quibble. - Boneyard90 (talk) 16:11, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

If you think the tone of the advisory template is inappropriate, you should bring that up at the Talk page for the template. If you think the currently overly-long summary is appropriate and shouldn't be tagged, you should bring that up at the article's Talk page. What you shouldn't do is remove a template pointing out that the summary is exceeding the guideline and that shortening it wouldn't be such a bad thing when the summary is in fact exceeding the guideline and that shortening it wouldn't be such a bad thing. DonIago (talk) 18:35, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Or I can just advise you that you don't have to use the template. I've already conceded you've made your point. No need to beat a dead horse. Unless you're trying to capture the tone of the template you use. - Boneyard90 (talk) 18:53, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the advisory. DonIago (talk) 19:09, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
