A kitten for you!

This page looks a little bare now so I'm sending a kitten to the rescue.

By the way, I noticed you edited Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Does this mean that you've seen the (glorious) film?

Softlavender (talk) 13:49, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much Softlavender. It is nice to have such a cute kitten gracing this page. I have to send an even bigger THANK YOU for reminding me about the film. I have the DVD but it wound up at the bottom of the stack as I went on a buying spree during the last Criterion Collection %50 off sale. I'll move it to the top and get to it this week :-) Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 13:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Just finished Softlavender. A special film - I love any film that makes me smile as much as this one did. It reminded me of several of the New Zealand films that I enjoyed from the 80s and early 90s. In other words those made before Jane Campion and Peter Jackson made sure we new how beautiful the country it is. Goodbye Pork Pie and Smash Palace come to mind and there are others. To my talk page watchers you will have a pleasant evening watching this film. It would make a good twin bill with Up. Thanks again for recommending it S. MarnetteD|Talk 00:57, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Great to hear, M! I'm so glad you liked it. I really loved Sam and the kid actor a lot, and the other actors and characters were superb as well. I think the bulk of the credit goes to writer/director Taika Waititi (who also played the priest in the film LOL), who is becoming something of a major celebrity. Do you know that there are numerous film references in the dialogue of this film? One of them stood out to me very strongly as I watched (I'll let you know via email if you like), and then when I heard there were many others I have been able to identify some of them as well. I haven't seen any of the other films you mentioned, so I'm taking note. Thanks! Softlavender (talk) 19:31, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

LTA?

What's an "LTA post", and what was wrong with that question about racially insensitive movies? Thanks, Rojomoke (talk) 22:34, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your work on Savannah Smiles. I just noticed that Bridgette Andersen is largely uncited too, but that's the reality with obscure child actors... they are too obscure for reliable sources to write about. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 03:10, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Lyon sisters

Hi. Sorry for bothering you but I think Lyon sisters should be moved to a different title. Lyon is a common surname, there might be future siblings surnamed Lyon who become notable and the girls are more famous for their disappearance/murders than in their own right.

I think you are right PBA. As I read Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people)#Articles combining biographies of several people I would be inclined to move it to Katherine and Sheila Lyon but that is just me. You might ask for more input at the talk page for that guideline or if you think the move might be questioned you could post at Wikipedia:Requested moves. I hope this is helpful. MarnetteD|Talk 14:28, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

I see you made the move PBA. I think your choice is a good one. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 17:55, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Template:IPsock tags

Per Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/SPI/Administrators instructions#Tagging IPs, the {{IPsock}} template should be tagged on the talk page of the IP, not its user page. Just an FYI. —MRD2014 ^{Talk • Edits • Help!} 23:46, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Note

The reason I've been reverting that one section (which you've also now reverted) is because of the personal attack connected with its addition here.[1] Are we doing the right thing? I'm not 100 percent sure. But it looks like something fishy going on. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:21, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

I made no personal attack [2] and the other editor was also polite [3]. 81.135.137.182 (talk) 01:01, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) "Are you a member of the alt right or something?" could also be construed as a personal attack. Perhaps you don't even know you're doing it, in which case we're probably talking about competence rather than willful abuse. General Ization ^Talk 01:08, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your post Baseball Bugs. IMO the bulk of the post violates the R/D guidelines but that happens so often anymore that I wonder why the exist at all. The edit summary mentioned by General Ization (thanks for your post too G) is obnoxious as well. Bugs if you are okay with it being there then that is fine by me. It is almost playoff time and I hope there are plenty of games for us to enjoy. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 01:15, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

I may not have made myself clear: I've deleted that section at least twice now. After you deleted it also, I just wanted assurance (or not) that I'm in the right to delete it. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 02:03, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Gotcha Baseball Bugs. I think your deletion was the correct thing to do. Regards. MarnetteD|Talk 02:35, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

Categorizing films by distributor.

Hello! I see you've been removing Category:Fox Searchlight Pictures films based on Wikipedia:WikiProject Film/Categorization § General categorization. I don't see anything in that essay that supports this. More importantly, if you think films shouldn't be categorized by distribution studio, wouldn't it be more appropriate to take this category to CFD rather than removing its articles arbitrarily? Thanks. Rebbing 16:11, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello Rebbing. Thanks for your question. Please note that those guidelines are not an essay they are part of WP:MOSFILM. Specifically point four states "by studio – this is exclusively for the studio(s) that produced the film." The policy there is in keeping with WP:CATDEF which states "A central concept used in categorising articles is that of the defining characteristics of a subject of the article" - the distributor of a film is not defining to the film. They usually don't come into the picture until after the film is made - although there are exceptions to that. Conversely the company that produces the film is a defining characteristic of a film. Please don't get me wrong - mentioning the distributor in the article is fine and it also works in a "list article" like List of Miramax films. They just aren't appropriate as a category. The reason a CFD is not needed is that FSP has been the producer of some films and those are being left in the category. I hope this helps to explain things and I apologize if it isn't clear. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 17:41, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Ah! thank you! I didn't think Fox Searchlight had actually produced any films, and I agree with your reading of CATDEF. Rebbing 17:55, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

You are welcome Rebbing. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 17:58, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

Altering archived reference desk threads once they have been archived

Hi Marnette, I noticed that you reverted the edit I made to an archived reference desk thread. But the pages with the archived questions say "The page you are currently viewing is an archive page. While YOU CAN LEAVE ANSWERS FOR ANY QUESTIONS SHOWN BELOW, please ask new questions on one of the current reference desk pages". So doesn't that mean I can still leave comments in old reference desk threads? Yellow Sunstreaker (talk) 19:38, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

The alleged reply will not be seen by the person you mentioned and is completely unnecessary. One has to wonder what an editor with less than 50 edits is doing posting to a talk archive from 20 months ago. Considering some of your other edits this may well be a WP:NOTHERE situation. Please do not post here again. Any further posts will be removed. MarnetteD|Talk 20:13, 7 October 2017 (UTC)

INUNIVERSE?

How do you figure referring to My Cousin Rachel as a novel and film mislead the reader into thinking the story is real life? [4] Also, if readers can't figure out the language, I'd recommend they use Simple. Ribbet32 (talk) 20:51, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

I did not say that it would mislead a reader into thinking the story was "real life" and I have no idea how you came by that. By inuniverse I mean that a reader has to understand the ins and outs of wikimarkup and the piping of links. You know what it means - I know what it means - because we edit articles. But there will be readers who don't edit the 'pedia and, thus, aren't aware of what that style of piping means. They could think the link would take them to the article on novels - or a list article of novels that have the same name as films. I know this is a unique interpretation on my part and I certainly understand if you disagree. Readers shouldn't have to intuit or guess where clicking on a link will take them. IMO it is a fact that there is no guess work in having the piping be the name of the book rather than the euphemism that was used there previously. MarnetteD|Talk 21:54, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you read the guideline you cited in your last revert, then. WP:INUNIVERSE refers to "Aspects of the work of fiction are described as if they were real". Referring to a story as only a novel and a film does the direct opposite- it treats them as a novel and a film. Also, "novel" wasn't linked by itself. It was "novel of the same name" and no one's going to expect an article called novel of the same name. It's a pretty simple reading. Also, if you're acknowledging your interpretation is fringe, why edit war over it? Ribbet32 (talk) 22:08, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

I have read it - more than once. I said it was a unique use of the guideline. How do you know that "no one" is going to have a different idea of where the link will go. WikiP has all sorts of list articles of comparative items. My reasoning is quite clear why the name of the book is preferable. Mine edit allows for the fact that there are readers who don't know what the piping means. The previous version doesn't. MarnetteD|Talk 22:19, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Onee quick followup - the use of "inuniverse" is unique and may not be apropos but the desire to be precise and remove guesswork is germane to the edit. MarnetteD|Talk 22:30, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Mistake on Ref Desk

I didn't mean to remove Jack's post. Wikipedia does this, at times, instead of giving an edit conflict warning, when two edits occur at once. Not sure what causes this bug, but I have seen it before, often as the victim. Thanks for the restore. As for the suit jacket with jeans part, I added that earlier in item 1, so removed it from the end of item 1. StuRat (talk) 22:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

I guessed that might be the case StuRat. The same sort of thing happened when I tried to restore your parenthetical which then (as you explain) was no longer needed. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 22:12, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Utopia

As he does play The Master, would linking The Master within Professor Yana be a fair compromise? Like so: Professor Yana. Rusted AutoParts 21:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi Rusted AutoParts. Thanks for your question. IMO that would be dodgy. It has WP:EGG problems and I'm pretty sure that linking has been removed before - though I could be wrong. OTOH if you do the link this way [[Professor Yana|The Master (Doctor Who)#Professor Yana and Harold Saxon]] I think you avoid that since it goes directly to the section that mentions that name. You could try this and see what happens or you could ask for more input at the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who. Regards. MarnetteD|Talk 22:03, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Yikes Rusted AutoParts I got my example backwards - I'm glad you fixed it in your edit :-) Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 22:50, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Assuming errors

You've removed two legitimate production company categories from film articles on October 28, 2017: 1 and 2

You give WP:CATDEF as the reason for deleting them. However, WP:CATDEF also states:

• "Use the {{Category unsourced}} template if you find an article in a category that is not shown by sources to be appropriate or if the article gives no clear indication for inclusion in a category."

I strongly suggest that you not assume a category for a film article should be removed simply because the article itself is missing enough information about its development and production. You could, in fact, consider contributing to a film article that lacks important content. Details about films are not difficult to find on the Web. Pyxis Solitary talk 09:08, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

WP:CATDEF states quite clearly that "Categorization of articles must be verifiable. It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories". The "cu" template can be used but it is not required. There was no verifiable info in the article at the time I edited it and - even though you've added the companies to the infobox - there still isn't so how is anyone to determine that they are legitimate? Its odd that you claim that the info isn't difficult to find yet you make no effort to find it. As WP:UNSOURCED states (and it is also quite clear) "All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material, and is satisfied by providing a citation to a reliable source that directly supports the contribution." Further it adds "Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source." Nowhere in the policy does it state that unsourced info absolutely can't be removed. IMO unsourced info damages the encyclopedia. I hope you can find sources for the items that you have placed in those articles. MarnetteD|Talk 17:01, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

But there's also no Wikipedia policy that says you shouldn't contribute a missing source. As I see it, the same energy it takes to scour Wikipedia for content to remove ... is the same energy it takes to perform a web search as simple as "FilmName + Number 9 Films" (or any other company). I found a source for How to Lose Friends & Alienate People within 5 minutes. But I can't and won't be the only one sweeping up after elephants in the parade. Pyxis Solitary talk 02:18, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Nor is there any policy saying we should. Considering the fact that you haven't supplied sources at Hyena (2014 film) yet your words ring hollow. As I volunteer I sweep up plenty after all manner of editors as well. MarnetteD|Talk 02:28, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

When I re-added the category I included the link to the Variety review (which is ref #2 in the article) in the summary. But if no one else wants to get a clue and beef-up the article, then perhaps it should be deleted. You may defensively reduce my opinion as "ring hollow", but my editing plate is full. And I assure you, many people have stopped volunteering on Wikipedia because contributions are often trashed in favor of minutiae (I always get a good laugh when someone leaves a message in a talk page about how an article needs this or that, but they, themselves, can't be bothered with doing it). Pyxis Solitary talk 15:11, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries are not a substitution for adding a WP:RS to the article. If you can find things "within 5 minutes" it takes less than that to add them to the article. You may "defensively" claim that your editing plate us full but you are the one who started this thread. I always get a good laugh when someone leaves a message on my talk page about how an article needs this or that, but they, themselves, can't be bothered with doing it.

Indeed I can't thank you enough for giving the Denver Post's link to their Jumble. The link works well on my smartphone (Android), except once in a while when all four rows are not visible or so (I use Chrome in smartphone ). It's during such situations that I turn to my Windows PC for the same puzzle. The same link, curiously doesn't work on my Windows 7 PC. Is there a separate link if one wanna open their e-edition in Windows PC ( the browser I use is Firefox). In spite of all attempts I failed to install Chrome for Windows on PC - I thought maybe it'll work since same (Chrome) is on smartphone.(I don't know for what reason Chrome doesn't install on PC). Should I install a particular plug-in in the PC (Firefox) browser to make it work ? Which one ? Or there is some other link to make it work on PC's Firefox Browser ?

Possible reading-list fare

Possible reading-list fare:

• The Devil's Lieutenant by M. Fagyas. A cracking mystery novel (and a take-off on, or loosely based on, true events) that is a fascinating page-turner and should be more famous than it is, but it was published in 1970 (to rave reviews) and with time has been nearly and unfairly forgotten.
• (on a related note) Fall of the Double Eagle: The Battle for Galicia and the Demise of Austria-Hungary by John Schindler. That is, if you are into Austro-Hungary and its history, or military history in general, or the politics and history of that general area of the world from about 1899 on. It's an intensively and scrupulously researched book, wonderfully written, and incisively detailed, and it also succeeds in dispelling a lot of myths via the author's penetrating research. I'm reading it now but I may not finish (might not fit my interests as much as it might fit yours or others').

Also, I forgot to thank you for mentioning the book about the Wahnsee Conference. I didn't comment on it because frankly watching the movie was enough horror for me. :-). But I did want to thank you for flagging it up.

By the way, can probably find cheaper copies of the Schindler book (or of any book) at www.bookfinder.com. Key to success there is inputting the least amount of info necessary to call up results (i.e., omit author and subtitle (and opening A/The) unless it later becomes clear one or both of those is necessary, and even then only use author's last name).
