Movie pages

Huh, I guess it is true. We do kinda maintain these movie pages for updated box offices. Good work and let's continue contributing! Easy4me (talk) 10:40, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jurassic World

The deadline article says it hit 584 m overseas and I saw an other article that it hit 416 m in the states earlier today so that means it's now at 1 billion Giggett (talk) 21:19, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jonathan Martin (American football)

Thank you for cleaning up Jonathan Martin (American football). I had a feeling that the Panthers might need listed in his infobox somehow. That's why I commented them out rather than delete them entirely. —C.Fred (talk) 19:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A cookie for you, for being such a great user! Congrats :)

Revenant film description in lead

The Revenant film description has been going back and forth in the Lead section there. "Ämerican" and "western" are redundant it seems and I wonder if you would take a look. What about "2015 western revenge film" which is consistent with the book title of the adaptation? Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 17:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There were more changes to the description again in the lead. TIME magazine article version of January 18th looked good so I will try it with 2015 American frontier revenge film to see if it helps. Have the Gloden Globe announcements been added yet? Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 18:05, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

More additions made by others over the week-end to the plot section at the Revenant, what do think of the size issues? Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 15:12, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suicide Squad villian

Hey bud. I just wanna give you a heads up that Common is indeed cast as Tattooed Man. Proof: Look at the set photos of Common on set... see the tats on his hands and the back of his head? Now look at the trailer where you see the subway cuts. The back of his head shows the same powers as tattooed man. Just wanna let you know and see if it's okay for you to edit in. 69.141.67.53 (talk) 17:26, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deadpool reviews

I saw you redid the section and since it's easier to follow, I should be the one thanking. ;) Out of curiosity: not referencing reviewer X in statement about/from reviewer Y is a policy or a matter of, IDK, taste? Unconnected text is easier to maintain for sure but I'm not entirely sure what's the benefit beyond that. The reason I'm asking is that I'm pondering whether I should add Christy Lemire's summary too. It's very topical, entertaining and connects to what Duralde stated but I haven't convinced myself that it's entirely wikipedic just yet. Here's roughly what I originally planned to add:

Alonso Duralde in his The Wrap review calls Deadpool a "funny, bloody comedy is the Marvel Universe’s biggest breath of fresh air since Guardians of the Galaxy" praising it, amongst other things, for its self-aware wit. This wit is summarized by Christy Lemire in the What The Flick?! review as "beyond meta" and "up its ass and back out its own mouth again", which prompts Duralde to elaborate that self-awareness can "completely shut down the plot" by "reminding that it's a movie" and consequently failing to engage the audience. He further notes that Deadpool "somehow finds this very tricky balance" and despite "goofing around" audience cares for the revenge plot and the romance.[1]

Tom Brady and appeal

I believe the NY Times mis-stated the court's ruling. It overturned Berman's decision, but does not itself re-instate the suspension. That takes a separate action by the NFL (which they are now allowed to do), which might be week 1, but doesn't have to be. Tarl.Neustaedter (talk) 17:36, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Timothy John Smith

Hi TropicAces. Thanks for your edit to the Timothy John Smith (Actor) page I created. Yes I'm a fan (and friend) , but I'm also a history writer/filmmaker, so I would welcome any suggestions on how to make the page more substantial/appropriate/conforming to guidelines. I think Tim's role in the upcoming movie Central Intelligence will likely raise him to a higher level of visibility, which is why I took the initiative to create this page.

The haves and the have nots article

Could you please add the character Mitch from the haves and the haves nots as recurring in season 3 in the table of characters, please? Someone only listed him as main in season 4 and forgot Zhyboo (talk) 07:59, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rose trade

I saw your edit about Derrick Rose's trade not completing until July 1, which someone else had reverted. Do you have a source for that? AFAIK, only free agent signings need to wait until July. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 21:52, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of 3RR

Look, I know you're a heavy contributor in WP:FILM, and I don't want to report you for three reverts in 24 hours, but you've got to work with me here. I notified you on the talk page prior to your third revert, and I'm not sure why you haven't discussed the issue yet. I'm assuming good faith, but my patience is running thin. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:02, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name mentioned in Sock Puppet case - GoneIn60

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/ContentEditman GoneIn60 has not called you out directly yet and is now back peddling but wanted to make sure you knew in case GoneIn60 starts to accuse you as well. ContentEditman (talk) 17:17, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems GineIn60 can't stop themselves. They are now labeling you a "biased" user.

Thanks for the heads up(? Haha) I really don't know what's going on (I'm only going to read so much of those pages haha) but I assume I'm involved cuz of my editing/"issues" with Independence Day's reception tab last week. If I'm accused of having two accounts, it's likely because sometimes my Wikipedia app logs me out without alert, so I'll edit something and it'll be logged as an IP address. So if anything needs to be clarified let me know, otherwise I'm just gonna go back to creeping Rotten Tomatoes and Box Office Mojo... cc ContentEditman TropicAces (talk) 22:20, 28 June 2016 (UTC)tropicAces[reply]
Ignore GoneIn60 and her false accusations. I am the 'other' editor she falsely accused of a number of things. I only came here because I caught GoneIn60 trying to dishonestly convince you that I was somehow messing with you. That is a lie and she knows it. GoneIn60 falsely claims I tried to reach out to you to help me in an ongoing S.P.I. which is untrue. For the record: I never reached out to you until now. Even then, I am only reaching out to you now in order to set the record straight. I would rather do better things with my time but it is what it is. If you ever read up on any of this, I have to give her credit- she has this knack into forcing me into wasting my time on her drama. It's a skill, for sure. Moving on. As you already know, I did 'not' try to rope you into anything. True, the other editor under the name 'contenteditman' tried to canvass you into helping 'HIM' out on the S.P.I., which I agree was an inappropriate thing for him to do. I said as much in the S.P.I. and I was quick to condemn it. However, that didn't stop GoneIn60 from alleging collusion anyways between me and the other editor. To elaborate: she is making the false accusation against me that I was trying to "solicit" your help. If it needs to be said again, that is 100% untrue. I did briefly mention you in the S.P.I. for the purpose of providing context for the dispute. However, that was the end of it on my end. Normally I would've ignored his latest conspiracy theory about me but GoneIn60 is ironically and hypocritically trying to con 'YOU' into taking 'HER' side by dishonestly painting me as a disruptive troll. She's cunning enough and an experienced enough editor that she should know better by now than to rely on lies and unsubstantiated assumptions toward that end. She is clearly trying to trick you. Don't take the bait. I hope once things return to normal we can continue to edit the article with an impartial mindset. sorry that they dragged you into this.174.29.191.40 (talk) 02:16, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Update: In an effort to cover all my bases, I tried to set the record straight on Gonein60's page in your discussion with her. No surprise, she quickly censored it [[1]] even though she had no problem gossiping about me to you on the page. Interesting. If a person is going to talk about another person, let alone make serious accusations about them, you would think they would be invited to the conversation so they can have their say. Unless of course, the person making the accusations has an agenda to protect. And she called me "a fly." ***sniffle*** I happen to like flies :( Used to collect them as a child.174.29.191.40 (talk) 02:36, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
