Mr. Wu (1927 film)
Okay, Andrzejbanas. You win. I don't have time to keep working indefinitely on the Mr. Wu site only to see everything I add immediately deleted. I've never encountered anything quite like this. I'll just make a couple of observations and move on. First, the initial paragraph detailing exactly how Chaney did the make-up wasn't written by me, it's been on the Mr. Wu page since it was first created back in 2008. I just added a couple of sentences about Chaney being famous for his make-ups, now carefully and properly referenced (the PDF of his New York Times obituary amazed even me regarding his make-up notoriety, including the reference to his writing the Encyclopedia Britannica article on Make-up that I mentioned). I didn't think four pictures (not the "dozen" that you mentioned in your description) would be excessive for an article this size but I suppose that can be quite subjective. Your deletion of my brief mention of Anna May Wong being in the supporting cast in the opening paragraph does surprise me, however. The U.S. Mint has been in the process of producing 30 million quarters with her name and image engraved on the backs for several months now, which had kindled even more interest in her astonishing career than ever; not only is she the first Asian pictured on American currency but I think she's also the first actor (apart from possibly Reagan). Uh oh. I just read your latest comment on the talk page about my adding to the Big Trail cast list. Yes, I certainly can add a reference for those. So now you're stalking me from one article to another. Andrzejbanas, what is this about? Have we interacted in the past? Your name seems familiar to me but I can't remember whether or not that's the case. I'm always trying to be very mild-mannered in interacting with fellow wikipedians (we're all on the same side) and I've never seen anything remotely like this. Please let me know what's going on so we can discuss it and straighten it out between ourselves. Racing Forward (talk) 03:36, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
- I've added the reasons why the edits were removed and I've stated specifically which rules were being broken. (i.e: no source, or against MOS:FILM.) Standard stuff! The issue is, you are still making a few mistakes that do not improve wikipedia. For example, your last edit credits IMDb, which we don't use as reliable source see WP:RS/IMDb. I would suggest going through WP:RS, WP:OR, WP:RS/IMDb and Template:Infobox film further to try and avoid the issues. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:29, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
Silence and consensus
RE: ... If you are unwilling to discuss, I'll assume consensus that you do not want to take this further and revert it to back how it was.
You need to familiarise yourself with WP:NOTSILENCE (and WP:CONSENSUS) before engaging in an edit war to retain your preferred version instead of the consensus of three other editors. Cambial foliage❧ 18:44, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Let's keep the the conversation in one section. I don't feel like dancing around and spreading it to other areas. I'll see ya on the Quique talk page. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:45, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Please respect my request for you not to post on my talk page. I don't wish to have discussion with you there where you make repeated crass attempts to WP:GASLIGHT about policy or recent talk or article history. If you want to discuss the article, please do so on its talk page. Your talk is not on my watchlist. But let me be clear: I am not interested and will not respond to obvious and crass misrepresentations of recent editing history or comments. As per WP:NOTSILENCE, my not responding should not be taken by you as consent for you to do as you wish. Cambial foliage❧ 19:45, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- @Cambial Yellowing:, I'm happy to not to post on your talk page for discussion. But I'll post warning if need be. How else do I communicate with you If I feel called out? Also, I don't see how WP:NOTSILENCE applies here, as you have been continuing to respond. I'm sorry, but you have been applying rules that I don't see what you are trying to get at. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:51, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- As you've pinged me, I'll respond here. WP:NOTSILENCE applies to your intention expressed here:
If you are unwilling to discuss, I'll assume consensus that you do not want to take this further and revert it to back how it was.
You made this comment after I had already responded on the article talk. I'll respond regarding your actions on the article talk page. Cambial foliage❧ 20:06, 28 June 2021 (UTC) - @Cambial Yellowing: I'm not accusing of anything, I said I feel this, because that's my understanding. If i'm wrong, please clear and understanding. My understanding was that you seem to be avoiding conversation (i.e: you didn't want to create a discussion on the talk page, you've asked me to not talk on your talk page, and you've suggested genres to probably not be included. If we can't agree on genres, I don't think including them makes for a sensible solution here. Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:15, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- I didn't say you were

; what are you talking about? I asked you not to post on my talk page long after you made that comment, so it obviously was not a factor in your decision to make that comment. Cambial foliage❧ 20:22, 28 June 2021 (UTC)- I feel like we're both thinking we both have it in for each other here. :) Perhaps we should take this from a fresh start with no presumptions? I'd like to clear up the article if we could. It's become a convulted mess when were having discussions on about three different pages. Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:25, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Question
In this edit to the film article Hero of Rome, you added the sole review to a newly added "Reception" section. When apparently quoting the review, you wrote; "The review declared that the films had an "unconvincing and improbable" and that the dialogue was hampered by...
"
An "unconvincing and improbable"... what? And you wrote "films" as plural... was that a typo? Anyway, I don't have access to the ref you attached, so could you review and clarify your entry, to address these two point? Thank you - wolf 15:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- Argh. Let me get back to this. Don't currently have access to this source at the moment, but i'll get back to you shortly. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:33, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Stay off my talk page.
Familiarise yourself with WP:UOWN. Your attention is drawn to this sentence: If an editor asks you not to edit their user pages, such requests should, within reason, be respected. Your behaviour has occasioned me to request you stay away, on multiple occasions. You can message me on article talk or your own w ping - I haven't muted you.

Template abuse
Please refrain from abusing warning or blocking templates. Doing so is a violation of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. Cambial foliage❧ 18:22, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. This includes repeated misuse of talk space templates. Tagging article infoboxes for discussion with no proposal to discuss, and refusing to discuss a change, is also not appropriate behaviour. Tags are not there as page features while you prepare a new draft. They exist to invite discussion: if you don’t want to discuss a change to the infobox, don’t use an inappropriate tag.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Cambial foliage❧ 06:23, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Hey @Cambial Yellowing: I have been working to dispute the situation with you on your talk page. You've called me a liar here, you have said I've refused to discuss it here (which isn't true, you delete every message I post on your talk page and you do not assume good faith when I try to explain myself, and you say my behaviour is "totally inappropriate" here. I've created a section on my draft section to try and work it out. And yes, I haven't worked on it the very second you asked, but please be patient. We can work it it out, even from your responses and name-calling, I am finding it harder and harder to believe you want to work it out. Andrzejbanas (talk) 09:40, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- Actually I asked you to
stop lying
, which is a fair response to your false assertion that the removal of the tag was because youhaven't replied in about 3 days
. The reason was, as stated, because you haven't discussed the infobox that you tagged. - Your wall of text 3 weeks ago did not contain a proposed change to the infobox, which, again, is the section you tagged.
- I proposed one from your summary. You indicated no opposition, but reverted the change anyway.
- I asked what you found problematic to the changes to the infobox. You ignore the question, talk about the article body.
- I ask again what change you wish to see the infobox - that you tagged. You say you do have a proposed change, but refuse to share it.
- I ask again (as you insist on retaining the "discuss" tag) what genres you wish to change. You continue editing but ignore the discussion, so I ask for your proposal and point out to you the purpose of the tag. You claim you are discussing it (while also claiming you don't know what "it" is, despite you being the one tagging the infobox parameter).
- I ask you again to discuss the issue that you tagged. You refuse, saying I removed it because you
haven't replied in about 3 days
. - 3 weeks have passed, and in all your response you have not uttered a single word about any changes you wish to make to the section you tagged. The 3 days is very obviously (and explicitly) not the issue – the issue is your avoiding the issue you tagged in every talk page response – as I explained in the preceding post. The word lying in that context is a perfectly reasonable description (and your assertion that I called you "a liar" is false.
- Actually I asked you to
- This is your final warning for abusing maintenance templates, both in article space and on user talk pages. Please either respond on article talk with some discussion of change to the parameter you tagged for discussion, remove the template, or leave it alone after I remove it. Maintenance templates are not a marker to be left on infoboxes while you spend as long as you wish thinking about how to word a different section of the article. Cambial foliage❧ 10:35, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- You don't get to command people to remove templates. If you were not in the wrong, you'd remove it yourself, but you haven't, because you don't want to break WP:3RR (i'm assuming!). Anyways, i've discussed this topic for months, and have assumed good faith with you several times. Please have faith that i'm working on it, and as seen on the talk page, i've created a new template which i will be working on. I apologize if it's not at the pace you like, but you can at least check in on me or ask before just removing templates when things have not been settled. It doesn't hurt anything and encourages others to discuss. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:21, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not commanding you to remove templates. I'm saying you need to use them appropriately. Leaving on them on the page while you ponder what you think you might like to change, and refuse any discussion, is not an appropriate use. Cambial foliage❧ 16:02, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- What rule am I breaking? Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:05, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- All maintenance templates are designed to be temporary features to let other editors know that there is discussion ongoing. This includes the Neutrality/References/Length etc. templates and the generic one you used. If you do not wish to discuss any changes to the section, the template should not be left on the page (or put there in the first place). Maintenance templates are not to be abused, they are a tool to facilitate discussion. So far, you're the only person who says they want a discussion (I'm happy with infobox as it is). Yet you refuse all attempts to actually carry out the discussion – over a period 3 weeks. The rule is don't abuse templates – see the section heading here on your talk page. Cambial foliage❧ 16:12, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

- What specific rule am I breaking in these? If you are using these as a "shame" you are misreading me. It's for others not you. You'll have to be more specific. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:21, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- From the first page: At the very least, tagging editors must be willing to follow through with substantive discussion. From the second page: Cleanup templates are by design temporary. They point to deficiencies in the article that should be corrected promptly. Substantive discussion means discussing the issue that you have tagged. Cambial foliage❧ 21:34, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

The 10th Victim
Hey there! Have you seen The 10th Victim? With Curti's book on Petri due to come out soon, I think it's high time we spruce up the article on his most famous movie besides Investigation of a Citizen..., hopefully to GA quality. The preview of Curti's book I've been able to generate on Google Books thankfully gave me the entirety of its section on the film (hopefully it works on your end, too) - I also have the Shameless DVD/Blu-ray (with its wonderfully cheesy lenticular cover!), which has a great interview with Kim Newman and Paola Petri. I also have downloaded two back issues of Video Watchdog that have some info on the movie, and have found a few scattered articles on a planned remake that was gestating for a few years but was never made. https://moviehole.net/wannabe-superman-remaking-tenth-victim/ https://www.screendaily.com/morgan-creek-tackles-tenth-victim/4018542.article https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/Zeta-Jones-Victim-2930368.php https://variety.com/1999/film/news/victim-nabs-zeta-jones-1117502050/ https://www.ign.com/articles/2004/05/13/mctiernan-falls-victim https://www.screendaily.com/in-motion-exits-myriad-as-damico-reclaims-company/4010420.article https://www.ign.com/articles/2003/12/03/rollerball-claims-its-tenth-victim
The main things I'm struggling with in terms of finding worthwhile info are Piccioni's soundtrack, the film's Blu-ray releases, Sheckley's novelization and its follow-ups. I hope this is of interest! PatTheMoron (talk) 14:50, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Concerning Ishirō Honda's article
Why do you keep undoing my edits? I have already added the Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film book source ages ago. View: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ishir%C5%8D_Honda&diff=1062081552&oldid=1062079401 - Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 7:09, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Because you are adding English titles to films that have no English title. They were not released under these titles and appear to be just translations. It's misleading. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:09, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- The translations are used in books and on the official website for Honda that's why they're used on the article. - Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 9:47, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- yeah but those are just translations, not actual release titles. Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Honda's movies that aren't yet released outside of Japan will probably never be released internationally. Similarly, you referred to foreign films with translated titles instead of their native titles that haven't been released outside of their native countries through the translated titles. - Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 4:56, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Regardless of what I call them, I don't think films on wikipedia should be referred to titles they weren't released under. I'd suggest we move conversation to the talk page of Honda where I have opened it up for larger discussion. Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:13, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Technically the title which the films are released under is the translation though. - Eiga-Kevin2 (talk) 7:48, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Horror book recs
Hey there. Thanks again for your great work on horror film articles. I was just wondering if there were any particular standout books on horror films from your research you could recommend? Looking for something mostly to read for pleasure, but sure it would help with wiki editing too. I'm particularly interested in Asian horror films but otherwise if there's a particular favourite of yours would be happy to hear it. Cheers! Arcahaeoindris (talk) 09:24, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Haha. The one i've found that's the most enjoyable to read that properly balances audience-like fandom without becoming to academic is Kim Newman and Jame Marriott's The Definitive Guide to Horror Movies which properly goes over the genre without thinking "then they stopped being good after Night of the Demon/slashers/the 90s" etc. As for Asian horror I find a lot of it to be very academic, but I quite enjoyed David Kalat's "J-Horror: The Definitive Guide to The Ring, The Grudge and Beyond" which goes into a bit of detail outside if Japanese horror and Kalat is also a very engaging author. I don't actually have a copy of that book on hand, but I remember borrowing it from the library and enjoying it. Kalat also gives very engaging commentaries on some films. Andrzejbanas (talk) 10:17, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- For Asian cinema, I also liked Tom Mes's book on Shinya Tsukamoto which also properly goes over like a biography, proper academic readings and is a generally engaging read. Andrzejbanas (talk) 10:34, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

- @Diannaa: Hi. I have never seen that before and it appears that Thesis is using the same sources I've applied. What can we do to resolve this issue? Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:56, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- The wording I removed is identical to text found in the thesis. So I removed it. While double checking that removal, I discovered I should have also removed some material that matches https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15405702.2013.869335.

- We are just using the same quotes, and I've never seen these sources otherwise. This is not copyright infringement. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:40, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- I did remove one short quotation in my most recent edit. The problem is not quotations, it's the surrounding prose. Specifically:
- "William Paul suggested that hierarchies of taste and cultural value inform critical assessments of the horror genre at the level of "lower-class forms" such as the gross out film, declaring..."
- "horror cinema has been accepted as a valid area of film studies since at least the mid-1980s"
- "Joan Hawkins in her book declared that otherwise that there was an affinity between 'low horror' and high art films on the basis of an audience enjoyment to challenge..."— Diannaa (talk) 21:57, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Diannaa:, These are all really basic sentences structures that only an algorithm would pick up as "copyright violation". and the way you've removed them makes it far more difficult to trace their sources I've dug up (among the dozens i have for the article) to actually fix them. What is the solution here? Andrzejbanas (talk) 05:12, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- You could re-write the contewnt in your own words.— Diannaa (talk) 14:28, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Dianna:, I can't re-write the content because it was pulled from three sources (some of which you've removed) and I can't see it anymore and I don't have any old draft version of this. As I've stated above, i've never ever seen the source you mention so I how can I re-write it if I can't even see the old content to make sure I don't re-write it the way it once was? Can you provide me the older version? Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:19, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

False claims of lack of sourcing and oforiginal research
In your edit here, you claim that the crew list is "unsourced" and conveniently ignore that film infoboxes list cast and crew credits without needing explicit sourcing because the information is unlikely to be challenged per WP:V. In addition, it is a completely false claim that listing crew credits is WP:OR in any sense at all. You can argue that it is indiscriminate, but like I've already said, the "Cast" section is a more complete list of the infobox's "Starring" field, and a "Crew" list can be a more complete list of the infobox's crew fields. There is no consensus against crew lists, and please do not concoct false rationales for their removals. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 14:35, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Erik:, to clarify, i am not against having crew members in the article. What i'm against is when we re-iteration information without any context. All the crew members in that section are already cited and expanded upon with the prose. I suppose I should have expanded on my edit summary, but my bigger issue with material in wikipedia is that it has no context, or if it has context (i.e: the production section), why have it listed twice? (or three times, given that nearly all this information is in the infobox already?) We're both long time wikipedia editors, I think you can understand my point of view, even if you don't agree with it, but please believe and understand me when it's about a bias, i'm not against it per my own will, I just don't understand the point of it.

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page.
Added note
This has gone far enough. You needlessly responded to an older, inactive thread regarding an issue I stated I was no longer pursuing. I said as much in my reply. For some reason, you then placed a warning notice on my talk page that was unwarranted. I removed it, but you again almost immediately placed another warning template on my talk page.
It is time to disengage. If I feel like discussing, or editing, that article, I will let you know. Until then, I would strongly encourage you to make better use of your time by improving articles. I will do the same. In short, you go your way, and I will go mine. Also, as of now, I request that you stay off my talk page. You are not welcome there, and we are done here. Have a nice day - wolf 08:25, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Thewolfchild:, I don't quite understand why you respond to things than get upset when you get a response. A week old post on wikipedia is hardly "ancient". I've responded to content years old just to clarify that something was indeed changed, addressed or fixed. If there is some rule or standard against that, I'd be curious to know it. I'll be commenting on your talk page if there are warnings to give, that is all, that's standard wiki stuff. Otherwise, i'm happy to give your space. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
Stop pinging me. Stop with your disingenuous comments, threats, harrassment and baseless warnings. Stay. off. my. talk. page. I don't know how to make this any clearer; I have no interest in interacting with you any further. We are done here, that's it, that's all. Good day. - wolf 18:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Frankenstein lunacy
I try to avoid edit wars like the plague if I can help it. If you want to remove the illustration from Son of Frankenstein, go ahead, I don't actually have a dog in this particular hunt, as the southerners used to say. In fact, you could delete the "Theatrical release poster" from the Infobox and go with a text-only motif if you prefer. I'm beginning to think that's your preference but I don't quite understand why. I imagine that your heart's in the right place, though, and we're all in this together. Cheers, Racing Forward (talk) 20:09, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm okay with adding images, but these strangely coloured lobby cards don't really enhance (they make the films look like two-strip technicolor films) and like, we generally don't just include every image we have just because they are available. If we can think of prose that enhances these images with sources (or prose) (which I went with on the House of Dracula ) to back it up, i'd be more convinced they enhance the article.

Of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Leatherface
Hello Andrzejbanas. Just wanted to let you know I saw your recent edit on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), I am currently working on expanding the article on the character Leatherface via a separate workspace and I have come to realize that the article on the original film is underdeveloped. A lot of information on the film's production is missing or underdeveloped and the Themes/Analysis section. Some work done to greatly expand these sections is necessary and i will try my hand at it if I come across some relevant information. I do feel the casting sub section in particular is a bit lazily done as it just has very little in it and just links to a list of the series characters which doesn't really give that kind of info. Anyways if you come across any information i could use for the Leatherface expansion let me know. I will try to do some edits to the film article when it allows. Paleface Jack (talk) 16:00, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi Andrzejbanas. This might seem like an odd question, but do you still have access to Troy Howarth's So Deadly, So Perverse volume 1 & 2? I ask as you added references uses those works to Bruno Mattei (this was back in 2017, so it's a stretch). The issue I'm looking into is whether the film's Zombi 3, After death and Island of the Living Dead appear in volume 1 or 2. At the moment they are referenced to Howarth 2015, but both volumes where published in the same year. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 21:32, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Film genres
If you have a legitimate reason to believe that a film's actual genre is anything different than the genres that are ascribed to it on its IMDb profile, then by all means find the appropriate sourcing needed to move it from one genre category to another genre category. But WP:FILM has an active project under way to clean up base national categories such as Category:Italian films and Category:Swiss films so that they're emptied of individual films because all films have been moved to appropriate subcategories instead of being filed directly in "Country films" -- which means that the single most important principle right now, to which all other considerations are entirely secondary, is to get Category:Italian films, Category:Swiss films and Category:Japanese films completely emptied out to absolute zero as soon as feasibly possible. (A few are taking longer than others did for size reasons, I'll admit, but all of them need to be emptied out and there cannot be films getting reverted back into base national film categories they're supposed to be getting removed from.)
So if you doubt that Shatterer's genre is what IMDb says Shatterer's genre is, then you're perfectly free to find other sources to support moving it from one genre category to another genre category. But the number one priority right now is empty the base national categories out to absolute zero, IMDB is an entirely rational place to check for what the expected genre categories are if a film hasn't already been subcategorized for genre yet, and if you have reason to doubt that IMDb's genre classifications are correct then your option is find another genre category to move it to, not "revert it back into categories that it absolutely must be removed from". The overarching most important issue here is getting the national film categories emptied out of films that shouldn't be there, and quibbles about whether IMDB is right or wrong about the genre are to be dealt with by moving a film to other genre categories if necessary, and not by unemptying categories that need to be emptied. Bearcat (talk) 01:35, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- You see we don't use what IMDb says either per WP:RS/IMDb @Bearcat:. I'd just leave the cat empty if you feel it must be attributed to a genre. Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:07, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- That means we don't take IMDb as gospel if it says something different than what other sources say, or cite content to IMDb as our footnotes. It does not mean that we're not allowed to even consult IMDb in any context whatsoever. And all films must always be in at least one "nationality + genre" category, while no film should be in any "just nationality without a subcategorization criterion" categories at all anymore, with absolutely no special isolated exceptions to either of those rules under any circumstances — so no, just completely removing all categories that make any reference to nationality at all isn't an alternative either. Bearcat (talk) 02:15, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Find a better source man. Also, your sourcing style would be against WP:STICKTOSOURCE, as combinging crime drama like you did would not be specifically what the citation says. and per WP:SUBJECTIVE, you need an actual source to back it up, not just pulling from IMDb. I'm sorry, but find something better than the convenience of IMDb. Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:27, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- Firstly, there are several thousand films that still need to be cleaned up for inclusion in categories they shouldn't be in. But the job can't just be completely abandoned as unimportant, and it can't turn into a years-long project of having to track down several thousand different sources from several thousand different archives — it has to get done, and it has to get done now, which means each article has to be dealt with as quickly as possible.
- Secondly, categorization by nationality is mandatory — you are not at liberty to just pull the film entirely out of the Category:Italian films, Category:Swiss films or Category:Japanese films trees if their nationality isn't what you're disputing. An Italian film must be in at least one category that has the word "Italian" in it, a Swiss film must be in at least one category that has the word "Swiss" in it, and on and so forth — and this is not an option you're free to ignore, it's mandatory that all films must be categorized appropriately based on country. But since there's an active cleanup project underway which requires films to be moved out of the base "Italian films" and "Swiss films" categories themselves and into appropriate subcategories instead, that means the film has to be in at least one "Country genre films" category for every relevant country, because it still must be in the appropriate nationality trees.
- So, again: if you have reason to doubt that IMDb is correct about the film's genre, then you're free to move the film from one genre category to another genre category as needed. But reverting the film back into categories it has to be moved out of is not an option, and just removing nationality-genre categories so that the film has been completely yanked out of the Category:Films by country tree entirely is not an option — your options are move the film from one genre category to another genre category if you're so certain that the genre is wrong, or leave the categories alone. The film must be in categories that have the words "Italian", "Swiss" and "Japanese" in them, but cannot be left in just "Italian films", "Swiss films" or "Japanese films" without a genre label between country and film, and with several thousand films still to be cleaned up it is not my responsibility to invest hours and hours of research into each individual one of those several thousand films . If you don't like the genre categories that a film is in, then you're free to move it to other genre categories — but you are free neither to completely remove any form of categorization by nationality at all, or to revert it back into undifferentiated parent categories that the film project is actively trying to empty out. Bearcat (talk) 03:09, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Also, your sourcing style would be against WP:STICKTOSOURCE, as combinging crime drama like you did would not be specifically what the citation says. and per WP:SUBJECTIVE, you need an actual source to back it up, not just pulling from IMDb.

Bearcat (talk) 02:15, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
- It is not a matter of IMDb being correct or not, it's that genre is subjective (per WP:SUBJECTIVE). So you'll need a source, you can't just bank it on IMDb, there is no rush to fix up these categories in a thing most users won't even notice. It's not that it's wrong or correct, it's that it's not a good way to go about cleaning articles. So no, the WP:ONUS is on you to add genres from a valid source.

Hi, do you by any chance have a copy of this 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray of Tremors by Arrow Video?

It Was Hot, We Stayed in the Water
In your edit summary, you wrote the following: per infobox standards, we avoid the words "Records" at the end of labels. I did not know this and would like to read more. Can you show me where you read this? dannymusiceditor oops 18:04, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi! As said elsewhere, on Template:Infobox album, "Drop words like "Records" from the end of the label's name (e.g. use Universal rather than Universal Records). For multiple entries, see Notes for details.". Hope that helps! Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Island of Lost Souls (1932 film)
Hello, Andrzejbanas. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for Island of Lost Souls (1932 film) at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! Cheers, Baffle☿gab 07:42, 12 March 2023 (UTC) |
Island of Lost Souls GA Nom
Please note this is not a review of your nomination for the film Island of Lost Souls, merely just another editor's perspective. First off I think its really well developed as it is so I do not see any problems there, the main thing I would point out is in its sources. Not so much the unreliability of them, since they are all very reliable, but there seems to be an imbalance of literary/periodical sources with modern-day online sources. There are plenty of sources from reliable websites and authors that can and should be added to the article just to give it a little more balance in physical sources and digital sources. There are a couple that I will personally add while I am at it but the rest I will leave up to your skills. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. Paleface Jack (talk) 17:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the kind words! What kind of online sources would you think would require adding? I'm a bit hesitant sometimes of briefer online sources for older film articles as they aren't usually as in-depth or well-researched, but am curious on what you'll dig up for it. The help on improving any article is appreciated. Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:07, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
@Andrzejbanas: Looking over the bulk of the article, there is a heavy reliance on Gregory Mank's information within the production section and throughout the article. Finding additional sources, from my experience to back everything up so the information is not relying on one source is pretty crucial. I think the writing you have in the production section is pretty sound so I have no issue there. However, reception and legacy sections need some cleaning up in wording and structure. My main issue with these sections are that there is a lot of quotations and also, if my memory serves me correctly, it was not as well received during its initial release date as it was in later reevaluations. There has been a lot more influence from this film in other works and that should be added into the legacy section. I always use the structure of the article for The Thing as my baseline as it covers and is very well structured with these sorts of articles. Anyways if you have more questions just let me know, I am gonna head back to the Leatherface article and some other projects of mine. Happy editing mate!--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:58, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, I appreciate the look see. I'm sorry I didn't get around to looking at Leatherface, I've had trouble organizing my priorities lately. I agree with you on Mank, but despite the generally well received nature of the film, there isn't much on it's production. Most old horror books focus on the Universal films or ones that have a heavier lean towards prestige directors (Whale, Browning, etc.). Mank is the only one who really did a grand overview of Island, both in writing and he provides the audio commentary on Criterion disc. It's a bit hard to escape.
- I'm definitely guilty of over-quoting in reception, and I do this too much. I think i'm just paranoid about not perserving the tone and wording of a review otherwise. I'll see if I can go over Leatherface later, but you generally do a really good job with these things, so I'm never too concerned. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:40, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
Missing cite in Future Force (film)
The article cites "Lor. 1991" but no such source is listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: [[User:Svick/HarvErrors.js]]
to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata•3 00:07, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
- Ack! I'll add it now. Must've missed it in my editing drive-bys. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:32, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Allmovie has gone crazy
Allmovie has been listing some films in a very weird way, now it considers The Godfather a Thriller and Heat an adventure film. Firefoxhd (talk) 18:13, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
- Not much we can do about that. We should generally try to look at what the majority of sources call a film than specifically rely on AllMovie, but I've had some luck contacting them on changing some factually wrong or even subjectively wrong stuff in the past. Maybe give that a shot? Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:10, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I have seen that you are a featured librarian here on Wikipedia. I have discovered through the reliable source American Film Institute that the movie "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" (1998) is a co-production between the United States, Germany and Mexico, however when I add the information it is removed because I'm not a Wikipedia librarian. For this reason I decided to write to you in the hope that you add the true information that I mentioned and which you can verify, within the "countries" category in the "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" fact sheet. 201.168.135.194 (talk) 05:16, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
