Templates

Can you direct me to any template that could be used for technical articles of film/theater for an info box?--Amadscientist (talk) 02:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't believe any exist. I've never seen one being used. —Mike Allen 02:40, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Are you aware of any template makers within the project?--Amadscientist (talk) 03:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

New name?

Hey Mike, hope all is well :) I'm not sure if you have seen this but The Bad Girls Club (season 7) is now changed to Bad Girls Club: New Orleans (season 7). I'm not sure why the user changed/moved the article to that name. The show is called "Bad Girls Club" not "Bad Girls Club: New Orleans" right? Well I'm done talking to the kid, I left warnings (not equivalent) but I just wanted to see what are your thoughts? Its always nice to hear two sides. Best, Jonayo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 19:24, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I think it should be consistent with the other season articles (without the city). —Mike Allen 22:03, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree. Its just confusing to the uninformed reader, they are going to ask "where's season 6 of BGC: New Orleans?". I bring this up on the talk page soon. Best, Jonayo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 22:07, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

21 Jump Street

Just saw the trailer for this, you have to like the page to see it, its on the wall. Wasn't interested before but seems pretty funny, thought you may like it. http://www.facebook.com/21JumpStreetMovie?sk=wall

WTF, I haven't heard of this movie either. Thanks for sharing, a movie I will definitely check out. —Mike Allen 21:23, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

RustedAutoparts brought the article to my attention. Since it was based off a show about cops who go undercover at a school I thought it was going to be some preachy, afterschool special type thing but I was actually laughing at some of the stuff in that trailer, so its a pleasant surprise Darkwarriorblake (talk) 21:26, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, as a comedy it looks entertaining, but being based off a TV series, it doesn't look quite faithful. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 00:58 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Also this one looks interesting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecLYhvu_WQY&feature=player_embedded (NSFW)

Looks kind of.. different. lol —Mike Allen 01:06, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

It looks like a teen Hangover, and considering it's by Todd Phillips I expect them to find their friend was in the attic all along. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:07, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I've never seen The Hangover, but thanks for ruining the movie. —Mike Allen 01:19, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Aww you're kidding right? :( That's not the actual ending of The Hangover so you're ok. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:23, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

LOL. Yes I'm joking. But I haven't seen Part II yet. Is it just as good? —Mike Allen 01:27, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I only watched it last week, the reviews are true, it is exactly the same film. It's enjoyable but I don't know if I'd call it a comedy, its more of an adventure film with comedy elements since the mystery is much bigger than anything funny. There is one part though, and you will know it when you see it, that absolutely killed me. But it is a complete carbon copy of the original, like events happen in the same way and play out teh same way right up to and including the ending. Jeong seems to be playing Epps role. But it isn't a bad film, if you liked the first you will like this, but prepare to roll your eyes at how lazy Todd Phillips is. I was also kind of annoyed that there is no explanation for why Stu is marrying the random asian woman and not Heather Graham. The whole reason behind their relationship seems to be so that they could get drunk in Thailand. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:34, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Jeez, and there's going to be a part 3? I also watched Horrible Bosses, but I can't find where the movie was "racist, homophobic, and misogynistic". —Mike Allen 01:42, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

I can't remember what the reviews said, the Village Voice one was the most venomous but I can't remember the points being made. I think it was the all white cast turning to the black man for help (I've read similar complaints with Tower Heist), some gay jokes, and the women all being nymphos. As for the Hangover 3, I think one of the reviews made a point to say how uninspired Phillips is htat they used a wedding again because there are so many reasons and occasions in life that can be used as an excuse for getting drunk and/or drugged. There IS potential there, it remains to be seen if they can actually be bothered to try and find it. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:46, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Here's trailer 2 for American Reunion. —Mike Allen 02:00, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the WikiLove Mike, though that article is an example of why I unfollowed GTA V, once I start I can't stop. Though I'm looking forward to the film as every critic is saying it's a return to 80s Eddie Murphy. The American trailer looks OK, it seems like a premise that would be open to further sequels. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 11:41, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

There's a GTA V? Yes, as you know, IPs can downgrade an article in the matter of minutes. So it's best to stick with an article you put a lot of work into. —Mike Allen 01:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

http://kotaku.com/5855541/grand-theft-auto-vs-first-official-trailer | Note, it isn't anything special. Game articles are a nightmare, thankfully Batman has calmed down. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 02:00, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Oh I know about video games. :-\ Very good graphics, if that's actually in game footage. —Mike Allen 02:29, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Well as soon as I've played it and can deal with things like plot I'm gonna try and GA it and then never touch a game article again. I don't know what the difference is between film fans and game fans (though I can definitely see overlap between gamers and people who like Harold & Kumar in terms of being idiots with editing (I like H&K)) and adding unsourced stuff but I watched GTAV and then realized my mistake quickly and unwatched it. Most game articles as well you may notice, the user rating system tends to have like 100+ up to 300 ratings before hte game has even come out compared to most films that may have 10. Fast Five had just over 100 I think nearly 7 months after it came out. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 02:44, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Unrelated but didn't want to clutter up your talk page with a new section. If you ever have 40 minutes to burn, watch the Red Letter Media review of Jack and Jill here. Actually makes me believe it was an elaborate fraud to make money, at one point they highlight that there are 5 coca-cola symbols facing the camera in one shot and other blatant product placement. Found it interesting anyway and thought you might as well.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 01:14, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

His latest movies suck, but his early movies are ok. ;-) Very good review and spot on (even though I haven't seen it). I wonder if that review could be added to the article? Who are the reviewers, do you know their name? —Mike Allen 03:44, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Never mind it's Mike Stoklasa and Jay Bouman. —Mike Allen 04:26, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I don't know their general notability but I do know that they're pretty famous for their Star Wars prequel reviews Darkwarriorblake (talk) 09:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't know what to write, and there would be so much to write. Good info though.. but who really cares about that article? :P I'm sure it won't ever get passed a start class. —Mike Allen 01:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it NEEDS to be there so that anyone who reads it KNOWS what a complete sham of a film it is, but that would give the article more effort than it deserves. It should just fade and die like the Bucky Larson: Born to be a Superstar one. But then...then Sandler gets away with the heist of the century. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 02:21, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Pnina Tornai

Hi!My name is Katelyn, I am a student at Clemson University and for a project we are creating articles on wikipedia. I am creating a page on Pnina Tornai, a wedding dress designer. I noticed that you have an interest in Tim Gunn, who is also a designer! I was wondering if you could look at look at my page and give me some feedback? If you could that would be so helpful. Thanks! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pnina_Tornai Riffraff520 (talk) 01:07, 4 November 2011 (UTC)user:Riffraff520

I'm sorry I'm not really into fashion articles or anything. I think I may have edited Gunn's article a few times to correct something. Just read over, WP:NPOV and WP:BLP. —Mike Allen 01:48, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Flight and Paradise Lost

I have created the articles for the upcoming Flight and Paradise Lost. Just thought you might want to take a look. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 16:53 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Looking good. The only thing is that references should go behind punctuation. —Mike Allen

Mariska Hargitay

Overriding a pic with a different version is only permissable when the changes between the two pics are "minor", so I only do this with color changes or minor crops. What constitutes "minor" may be a bit iffy, but the last time that I overwrote a pic with a version that wasn't considered a "minor" difference, it caused a problem on the Commons. I feel less reluctant to do so when the pic being changed is one that I took, so when it's someone else's, I'm more likely to upload the new version separately. Nightscream (talk) 22:46, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

If you have a moment...

I'd like you to take a look at my new essay "On other evidence of film notability" before it goes live. Many thanks, Schmidt,' ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:40, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Copyright of File:GiantSmurfComic-Con.jpg

Hi Mike:

I noticed that you added an image of a giant Smurf to the article The Smurfs (film) that you got from Flickr and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. You might want to look at Commons:Derivative works. Also, here is a deletion request at Commons on several Smurf images from a while back, with the subject of one of the images that was deleted being a (large?) Smurf balloon at the 2009 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The issue I see is that the image may not be appropriate for Commons per the aforementioned Commons:Derivative works policy. I have thus nominated the image for deletion from Commons (the discussion is here).

Kind regards,

—{|Retro00064|☎talk|✍contribs|} 01:26, 14 November 2011 (UTC).

Thanks for letting me know about this. —Mike Allen 01:45, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Proposal to add American cinema task force under WikiProject United States

Greetings, I am a member of WikiProject United States, it was recently suggested that the American cinema task force of WikiProject Film which you are a member, might be inactive or semi active and it might be beneficial to include a joint task force for it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States, which Kumioko and me have added some of the projects like WikiProject American television and WikiProject United States Government. After reviewing the project it appears that there have not been any active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. I have begun a discussion on the task force talk page to see how the members of the project feel about this suggestion. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 21:45, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Auto archiving

Hi Mike, could you refresh my memory on how you go about getting an article's references automatically archived? Darkwarriorblake (talk) 22:17, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

No way to automatically archive refs. You have to manually do it via WebCitation and add archiveurl=|archivedate=|deadurl=no/yes inside the citation. —Mike Allen 23:31, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Are you sure because I remember doing it for Fast Five. I had to submit it somewhere and it was done a few days later. But I can't remember what I had to do. Not a big deal just saves me some time. I'm trying to archive every time I add a reference now but webcitation goes down a lot.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 00:34, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Well that's news to me. Hmmmm. —Mike Allen 00:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Interesting...

With this new information I think its safe to say that Season 8 can be created (in this case, re-created). I don't have the time right now, just giving you this information as high vandalism should occur soon. Best, Jonayo! ^{Selena 4 ever} 22:55, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Re:Cowboy & Aliens in release at the box office

Thanks for the quick reply! --Boycool (talk) 00:52, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

for finding the budget for MWWM! Can I include the info about how many US cinemas it opened to in the release section? - JuneGloom Talk 00:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem. Los Angeles Times reports on Box office predictions every Thursday and includes budgets for the film and I go through every Thursday and add them to articles. Since the film is British you could probably include the pound currency (I think that's correct), which according to this site would covert to £6.4 million (but leave the $10 million in parenthesis since the source only reports that). You don't have to, but that would make it less-Americanized. Of course if you find a better source for the production in pound that would be preferred.  :) Yes including the amount of US cinemas would be good to add. Does it plan on having a wide release in the US? —Mike Allen 01:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

I'll do that. I have no idea about a wider US release, something else for me to look up I think! - JuneGloom Talk 01:19, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to be a total and utter pain, but I need your help to create a box office section (like the one in Inglourious Basterds) for Marilyn. I found some B.O info for the UK, but then I looked at Box Office Mojo and got totally confused about what to add from that. - JuneGloom Talk 14:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

BOM figures are only in US dollars, but having a source that includes the film country's currency is also preferred. For limited films, the per theater total should be included. When I get some free time I'll head over to the article to take a look. —Mike Allen 21:23, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Try and use this other limited released film as a guide - Road_to_Nowhere_(film)#Limited_theatrical_run. —Mike Allen 02:23, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! :) - JuneGloom Talk 22:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Quick question, do awards and nominations have to be in a table in the article? I've been putting them into prose, but an editor commented on the talk page that they should be in a table. - JuneGloom Talk 20:53, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Errr....

For the sake of continued civility, and as no one has used such a derogatory term so far, might you consider striking through the word "Nazi" in your support? Peace, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:54, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Silent Hill: Revelation 3D wrap date

You mentioned a schedule in your edit summary, but the "It's a Wrap" section of the director's blog does not provide any schedule. Is there one shown on another section? The citation you restored is invalid. Hula Hup (talk) 12:20, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes this one: http://www.webcitation.org/5yfj8jH6G —Mike Allen 12:25, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

GA nomination - Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (season 12)

Sorry about that, Mike -- I'm honestly pretty new to the whole GA process, and didn't know at the time that you were planning to do a FL nomination. Let me know if there is any way I can help. Ultimately, I'd like to see more L&O articles with good or featured status (or at the very least, with a better grade on the quality scale), which is why I even started this. By the way, would you like to join the Law & Order task force? --Davejohnsan (talk) 19:30, 25 December 2011 (UTC)

Dave, when nominating for GA/FA, it's usually best to let the top editors of the article know, in case they would like to help out, or may be able to answer the nominator's questions. Hopefully we will be able to get this up to GA or FL! —Mike Allen 04:01, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

I'll remember that for future reference, thanks. By the way, would you like to start a peer review? --Davejohnsan (talk) 18:15, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out on that train wreck of an article.  :) —Mike Allen 07:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Words fail me. Semi-protection is probably the answer until the Wikipedia:WikiProject Dance Moms becomes more active, and I was sorely tempted yesterday to apply it. I think there's one editor using a variety of similar IPs--one fan with little knowledge of WP policy. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 15:58, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Yeah it's gotten worst since season 2 started. Semi-protection seems to be a good solution for now. —Mike Allen 21:20, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Problem with 'List of films considered the worst'

A user named Doktorbuk added Little Man on the list of films considered the worst. I reverted it and he put it back on there again. He did that because he said that it won enough Razzies and has a low enough RT score for it to be included there. I don't believe him. He probably doesn't understand what 'reliable sources calling it the worst' are. (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_films_considered_the_worst&action=history) Can you do something about this? --Superghost987 (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Peer review limits changed

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.

While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.

If you already have more than one open PR, that is OK in this transition period, but you cannot open any more until all your active PR requests have been closed. If you would like someone to close a PR for you, please ask at Wikipedia talk:Peer review. If you want to help with the backlog, please review an article whoe PR request is listed at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog/items. Thanks, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 02:59, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Tower Heist

On the Tower Heist page, user Darkwarriorblake keeps reverting edits by others concerning the death of Heavy D, who appeared in the movie. Are you able to referee here? I'd like to include information on Heavy D's passing, but this user says that personal bias has no place, despite saying, in the talk page for Tower Heist, that he himself has put some information on the page based on "personal" (he used the word) preference. Multiple people have tried to include Heavy D's passing in the article; but Darkwarriorblake thinks the page belongs to him.

Elsewhere on that talk page, Johnny Depp is brought up as a more significant celebrity than Heavy D. Is this what Wikipedia is for? Heavy D is famous, very famous in certain places, and if multiple people are calling for star treatment, why should Darkwarriorblake decide who a big enough star is? What if people have every Heavy D album but never saw a Johnny Depp movie? Do they count? My argument is best laid out in the following, which I put on Darkwarriorblake's page:

"Hello, what is your problem with Heavy D? His passing away so soon right after the release of the movie is important. If he was an artist that you personally liked/knew about, I think you'd stop reverting the changes. But since you personally don't know about him, you don't think his death is significant. The fact that you're reverting Heavy D edits by different other people shows that there are multiple people who find his passing important to note. You can have your personal opinions/preferences/likes, but Wikipedia belongs to everybody, and multiple people are trying to include this information. "It's trivia?" The whole article is "trivia." Should you get to decide which trivia isn't worthy when multiple other people think it is?"

Thanks for any guidance/assistance... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.169.45.249 (talk) 16:16, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Lionsgate-logo-.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Lionsgate-logo-.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Inquiry from The Washington Post

Hi there,

My name is Sonia, and I write for The Washington Post. I'm interested in pursuing a story about Wikipedia users who update/edit pages detailing specific histories of the Academy Awards (e.g. "List of black Academy Award winners and nominees," "90th Academy Awards"). I saw that you're a coordinator of WikiProject Film and was wondering if you might have contributed to efforts to edit similar pages, perhaps during the ceremony (or in the past). People who are simply curious often end up on these informative pages, and I believe our readers might find it interesting to hear the story behind the edits — are there some Wikipedia users who wait for the awards to be announced and then update the pages immediately? How do you keep track of all the history? And so on.

If you'd be interested in chatting with me, please let me know as soon as possible. I can be reached at sonia.rao@washpost.com.

Thanks, Sonia
