Since you've made many edits to the article, I thought you might like to contribute to the discussion. Neiltonks (talk) 13:24, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

"you're so unhelpful"

I know it must seem to you like I'm being unhelpful. You think you know something about J&B and you want to add it to Wikipedia. I'm telling you it's a piece of trivia that doesn't belong in a well-organized article about the company. I'm not going to delete your "in popular culture" section, but someone probably will eventually. Or maybe add that sometimes whiskey bottles in the Simpsons look like J&B bottles. You never know with Wikipedia. :) World's Lamest Critic (talk) 17:39, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Re: Sexual abuse in Hollywood

Hi! Thank you for the congratulations, though I must say that most of it comes from an article in the Spanish Wikipedia made by user 13 miedos (talk) (I say "most of it" because it contained some glaring errors and controversial sentences that could've easily used non-controversial sentences instead; though it seems that ever since I created "Sexual abuse in Hollywood" in the English Wikipedia, that article in Spanish was rectified to adhere more to the English article).

Anyway, about the old version of the "Casting couch" page, it sure seems insteresting. I understand why most of it was cut out, between most post-Weistein accusations (such as the Canada section) going to the Weinstein effect page (Weinstein effect now having its own template of related articles) and a quite considerable amount of accusations actually not having references (not even a "citation needed"), but it does still have a not at all ignorable amount of info. I'll give it a look. Maybe restructure and retitle the article to include the examples from outside the U.S. or create a new article outright. In any case, thank you again for the tip. Cheers!--EdgarCabreraFariña (talk) 18:42, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Cool. Many of the older allegations never developed into legal cases or media scandals. I tried to create a new article last year but it was deleted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_proven_or_alleged_pre-Weinstein_historical_sexual_assaults_in_the_entertainment_industryGrowlies (talk) 17:03, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

I think that I should notify you than an user has kindly restored a vast amount of the content deleted in "Casting couch" (the user who removed it turns out to have been blocked), even though it excluded all previous accusations that 1) Came from autobiographies, personal blogs, etc. 2) Were not covered by secondary, reliable sources 3) Didn't explicitly use the term "casting couch" in the description of the event/story, and 5) Did end in a legal conviction or a clear admission by the accused party. On an unrelated note, it would be recommendable that any time you answer somebody, do so on that other person's talk page, so that way they can be notified of your replies. I for one didn't see the reply you wrote above.--EdgarCabreraFariña (talk) 18:58, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Jacques Rancière. Lard Almighty (talk) 19:43, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll be more careful. Spanish Wikipedia was also bombarded with his "scholarship": https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario:.Sergio/Informe_sobre_AVR Growlies (talk) 15:43, 27 February 2020 (UTC)
