Notability tag[edit]

I get the WP:POINT. Dlabtot (talk) 00:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then please try WP:AGF. You pointed attention at a stubby article, it had no sources and no demonstrable notability, it was tagged appropriately. Nothing "point" about it. If you disagree, or know of sources that can show it meets WP:NFF, then add them, remove the tags, and move on. Making bad faith remarks just because you disagree with the Film project's consensus re IMDB is completely unhelpful. -- AnmaFinotera (talk ~ contribs) 00:47, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I assume good faith in that I assume that you were in good faith attempting to improve Wikipedia by making a point about IMDB by disruptively placing a notability tag on a classic of Japanese cinema that was obviously notable. No doubt you had the best of intentions. Dlabtot (talk) 00:53, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How, exactly, is it making a point about IMDB? Again, take the bad faith elsewhere, thanks. If you want to call it a "classic of Japanese cinema" go source it and prove it. This isn't an article you had anything to do with at all beyond apparently "randomly" noting it in the discussion for no real reason, yet you sure act all defensive because it got tagged. When you can treat others with proper civility, perhaps you would have better luck with your supposedly well-meaning proposals. Meanwhile, you added sources, good job. Have a nice night. -- AnmaFinotera (talk ~ contribs) 00:58, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you were interested in improving this article in the slightest, you would spent at least a minute or two familiarizing yourself about the subject. And, you would have learned that multiple - as in too many to count - reliable sources do indeed count it as a classic of Japanese cinema. As for being defensive against vandalism on Wikipedia, however well-intentioned, yes I am. Dlabtot (talk) 01:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Movie within a movie: the German movie clip within Ozu's "An Only Son".[edit]

At some point Ryousuke and his mother watch a German movie. Was the inserted clip from an existing German movie (if so, which one?) or was it made especially for Ozu? Contact Basemetal here 01:05, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The former: Willi Forst's 1933 "Leise flehen meine Lieder" released in English in 1934 as "Unfinished Symphony". Contact Basemetal here 01:37, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
