I don’t see how The United Kingdom Of Frozen is not notable

It is the first time that any high school in europe will perform the full broadway/west end musical and is relative to the UK, just like the dutch production or the german production. B-lewis17 (talk) 10:05, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Has it been covered by any reputable source? The sourcing you provided was simply from MTI that it existed. BOVINEBOY2008 10:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Back in Action

Hello, I saw that on July 9, 2023 you renamed the article Back in Action to the current variant. I first wanted to post a message on the talk page of that article, but I saw the same topic there, with no response after two months. I also think that the article would be better renamed to Back in Action (2025 film), because there are now several similar titles on Wikipedia (after your renaming), including Back in Action (1994 film), Back in Action (2011 film) and Back in Action (EP). I look forward to hearing from you. Greetings RuedNL2 (talk) 10:55, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

@RuedNL2: I would support moving Back in Action to Back in Action (2025 film) and creating a disambiguation page in its place. BOVINEBOY2008 15:07, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick response and support. I changed the title and created a disambiguation page. Normally I mainly work on the Dutch Wikipedia. Could you check whether the disambiguation page meets the requirements of the English Wiki. RuedNL2 (talk) 18:50, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Title case

FWIW, "as" in Little Nicholas: Happy As Can Be is not a preposition, so if you were to follow MOS:CT, it should be capitalized. But the rule is so inconsistently applied when it comes to "as" and "like", partly, I assume, because it can be ambiguous whether they are a preposition or conjunction, so I'm not going to revert it. Nardog (talk) 12:58, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Good to note. Will be cautious of this in the future. BOVINEBOY2008 03:04, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Re The Outsiders Musical image

Greetings, The image that user HM2021 uploaded was too large to be compliant with free-use. That's why I reverted the addition. Seven hours later, 'DatBot' resized the image to be complaint. At the time of my edit, it was non-free, and I explained how that could be confirmed in my edit summary. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 18:12, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

It looks like a image size reduction was requested by JJMC89 bot between HM2021's and your revision. Knowing a change was already requested, perhaps it would have been best to allow the bot request to complete before reverting the edit. BOVINEBOY2008 09:35, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:HotGen

Hello, Bovineboy2008. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "HotGen".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:57, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer

Thank you for noticing this obscure little Aussie flick which I came across in our local op shop a year or two ago. I'm sure it's an homage or spoof on I Know What You Did Last Summer, and reckon a paragraph to that effect would be in order, but not sure if I have the stamina to watch the famous original.

About "The Kiss (2023 film)"

Hi. I see that you moved the article about the Danish film The Kiss (2023 film), changing to the denomination "2022 film". But please, let me kindly disagree. Here you are the link to the film as described in a Danish film database. There you can read "Dansk biografpremiere: 23.02.2023" which refers to its original release date in Denmark. Maybe the film was shot during 2022, but then, I believe, it's the premiere year that counts. Best, Fadesga (talk) 10:53, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

The film premiered in the 2022 Warsaw Film Festival. We use the first release including festivals to determine the year of the film, per MOS:FILM. BOVINEBOY2008 17:35, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Beyond Games

The article Beyond Games has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The profile here is quite good, but all I could find. Sources are insufficient to pass WP:NCORP.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:12, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

Nomination of Beyond Games for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Beyond Games is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beyond Games until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hadestown

Bourzgui is not notable (blue-linked). We do not generally name non-notable cast replacements unless, they, say, play the role for 1,000 performances. In addition, please do not add even notable people as cast replacements until you have a WP:Reliable source that states that they have already begun playing the roles (rather than that they "will" play the role -- it is very frequent that someone is cast and announced, and then they drop out (or their arrival is postponed) because of health/injury, creative differences, schedule conflict, technical issue at the theatre, etc. Finally, BroadwayWorld is not a very good source to use if there is an alternative. See [1]. -- Ssilvers (talk) 18:13, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

@Ssilvers: Thank you on the catch. However, please note that I did not use a BroadwayWorld article. The source provided is here and states that he is presently in the role. The note stands that he is not blue-linked though and I agree should not be included unless that changes. BOVINEBOY2008 18:17, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Highlighting the user

Hi Admin, I am highlighting/whistle blowing on one the user:Wheezythewave. Noted few repeatitive concerns on their user talks. Concerns:

• User making multiple unconstructive edits.
• Explanation not provided on various edits.
• Many minor edits contributing to user edit counts, but not guaranteed quality edits.
• Not familiar with agreeable various English wikipedia policies. Familiar with limited format, leading to unconstructive edits.

Since, I'm not experienced enough to judge the credibility, highlighting few concerns here for your perusal. Request you to look into the matter.

Re: Masters and Vices

Dear Bovineboy2008,

I have replied to your message on my talk page re:‘Masters and Vices’ on 10^th November 2025 with a number of queries. I have not received a response to any of my queries in the message (please see original below), therefore, I have undone your edits.

Hi Bovineboy2008,

Thank you for your message. Please could you kindly explain your rationale for the following:

·        Why you have removed the accolades section and its subsequent references from the Masters and Vices Wikipedia page? Surely the film obtaining over 16 awards would contribute to its notability?

·        Why you have removed the film’s official iMDB citation? This is a public page which serves as a reference point for the film’s tech specs, production timeline and cast order that is regularly monitored by iMDb staff for accuracy.

·        Why you have removed the Official Poster and Official Teaser Trailer poster from the Masters and Vices Wikipedia page when the film’s Director and Producer clearly states the following on their FilmFreeway page: “A fair use policy is in place for the Official and Teaser Poster of Masters and Vices (2025) for all cast and crew and Film Festivals who have the film as part of their official selection or online articles, pages and forums who wish to cover and/or discuss the film”.

·        You have advised that the article “needs more sources to establish notability”. The article had 16 references, so please advise what you personally would consider enough references to establish nobility?

The Masters and Vices Wikipedia page has links to two artist’s Wikipedia pages- namely Bret Autry of Blue Stahli and Vartan Vahramian. The film’s end credits, trailer billing blocks and iMDB page all verify their contribution to the soundtrack, so am confused as to why you have considered the film to not be notable.

I would appreciate if you could respond to these queries by Friday 14^th November, so I know where I stand going forward

Hello @Bovineboy2008, I hope you are doing well. I noticed your expertise in film-related topics and your edits on one of my film articles. I have recently updated the Accolade Global Film Competition article with independent sources (Televisual, RTÉ, American Public Television) to strengthen coverage. If you have a moment, I would appreciate any feedback on its sourcing and structure. Warm regards, -- Vodnir (talk) 14:16, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

Everybody Digs Bill Evans (film)

I know the makers of this film so I know the drama centers on Bill Evans's grief over the death of Scott La Faro. IMDb synopsis says this is what the film is about. So I added it. However I am not looking for an edit war so I'll leave it. Mick gold (talk) 11:41, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

However I object to your reverting my edit which changed "It is starring..." to "The film stars..." [3] I would argue the latter is a better written sentence and I shall re-instate my version.

Skyline (2010 film) edits

Hi

I spent an hour and a half doing edits to the plot of the film Skyline. I am a very experienced copyeditor, and a guild of copy editors member for many years. User Doniago reverted every single one of them earlier. I feel this was a little harsh, but more importantly I had repaired some factual errors and incorrect timeline sequences, so I undid their reversion and asked them to discuss their perception of my errors on the article talk page [4]]

Can I possibly get a third opinion to keep things civil? If that is not something you are comfortable with, who can I ask for help?

Untitled Tim Miller film

Saw you nominated Untitled Tim Miller film for AFD and it made me smile. After all this time, WP:HAMMER still holds true. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 05:07, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

The Custom of the Country

I disagree with this relocation. I do not feel it is an article lacking “non-routine” coverage. This has been a long in development project that saw controversy when its second iteration saw cancellation for a controversial reason. Rusted AutoParts 13:56, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I do see that it has some coverage in the rags about the initial project being cancelled. But beyond that, the coverage has all been routine - cast and crew announcements coming from production, filming spotted, etc. WP:NFF suggests looking for "discussion, critical analysis, set visits, and detailed critiques." I don't think there has been any of that. Perhaps we can send it to WP:AFC for an additional opinion. BOVINEBOY2008 08:04, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

I've added to the thread at NFF about the changes to assert I really dislike them so it would be nice to see that reopened to allow the input of editors like myself who more directly create/edit those draft articles can have some input on such a major change. I don't mean to make it seem we were deliberately cut out or anything but it was evident there were several editors involved with these kind of drafts who would've wanted to have known about and participate in the discussion. Rusted AutoParts 03:28, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

What's your deal man ? Why do you keep spying on me ? Either delete or draft my articles for the past 2 months.

KingArti (talk) 23:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

There was a recent change to the application of NFF. I highly doubt it's a personal slight to yourself, as several of my drafts got AFD'd or redratified and upon looking saw a consensus was reached to narrow NFF. A bit bitter I wasn't looped in, but it's what it is. Rusted AutoParts 00:15, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

About Draft:Safia/Safdar

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to change the title of Draft:Safia/Safdar by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Safia/Safdar. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Izno (talk) 16:49, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

@Izno: Was this message intended for me? I don't generally do C&P moves and I don't believe I've edited this article. Could you provide more information, or a link showing what edit you are referencing? Thank you. BOVINEBOY2008 07:43, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

April 2026

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Flyway of Life when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you.
