Spider-Man: Homecoming / Oxford comma's

I saw a few changes of yours to this page. One comment mentioned "Oxford comma's" [sic] and the later one said "my apologies," but it didn't seem to revert the earlier changes. There was confusion because there was at least one intervening change. At any rate, whatever you think of serial commas, my changes (as I clearly explained) served not only to decrease ambiguity in several locations, but they also made the entire article more consistent in its use of serial commas. After your change, the article once again has a mix of serial commas and no serial commas. Will you please change the text back to include the serial commas that I painstakingly searched for, or at least revert your changes and then discuss on the talk page, explaining why the article is better with a mish-mash of forms? Thank you. Holy (talk) 01:44, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. As far as I can see, you placed three (Oxford) comma's which I then mistakenly removed. I then reverted my removal, which placed the three comma's back again. I'm not quite sure what the issue is now. Please let me know if there is something you do not agree with. Cheers. SassyCollins (talk) 14:30, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

It was hard to tell what transpired because of the intervening edit (or edit's). At the time I wrote you, yours was the last edit, and there were still several serial comma's missing that I had previously added for consistency. I couldn't piece together from the history who had deleted or added back in which one's. Thanks for explaining! Cheer's! (Just joking around with the apostrophe's, by the way.)

Reversion of edit of Black Panther (film)

I don't understand why you reverted this. There doesn't appear to be any other mention of Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the Black Panther article, so many readers may not know what the term Phase Three refers to. --Robert.Allen (talk) 01:32, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your remark. Please see the adjustment made. SassyCollins (talk) 18:36, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I think I see, you may have objected to the preposition I used. Your change is certainly an acceptable resolution of the problem. Thank you! --Robert.Allen (talk) 19:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

MCU films

You've twice reverted my edit to the page for MCU films, because you said I removed the references. As I said in my description of my second edit, I did not remove the references. I just moved them to the top. Check again here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_films&oldid=846102253#Critical_response the reference is after the words "Audience rating". The information for all the movies is on a single page, so there's no need to cite the reference a dozen different times. One time is enough. - 173.171.160.127 (talk) 22:15, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

173.171.160.127 Every film has its own RT reference, as every film has its own RT page, which in turn can be updated when RT-info for a certain film changes. With your edit, all 19 references (and therefore all access-dates) are removed and replaced with a single reference for "everything MCU". Because this is such an extensive revision, I would suggest taking this to the articles' Talk-page to gain consensus. I personally don't mind your proposed lay-out; if all 19 references could be put back in the RT column (as in the Metacritic column) plus keeping the single "everything MCU" reference, I think you'd have a winner. SassyCollins (talk) 09:17, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The single reference for everything MCU contains the information from all the individual RT pages, is updated when RT-info for each film changes, and contains links to all the individual RT pages. There's no need for links to dozens of different pages if there's a single page that has everything. - 173.171.160.127 (talk) 17:34, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is your opinion there is no need for the separate links. Either way, you are proposing a major change which will need consensus. Like I suggested, take it to the articles' Talk-page. SassyCollins (talk) 07:30, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for removing your post

Sorry for re-adding your post on Talk:Sean Combs. I must not have looked at it very closely, because I thought you were removing someone else's post. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 18:59, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa: Not a problem! I looked up my own time-line and saw I was editing Spider-Man: Homecoming at that time (366 days ago). It was probably my second week or so on Wikipedia. This post was intended for that page; how I managed to place it on Diddy's page will forever be a mystery to me and probably keep me awake for nights to come... Had a look at your page; impressive! From one Canadian to another, have a great weekend. SassyCollins (talk) 19:29, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Spider-Man: Homecoming edit

Hi,

The Wikipedia page for Spider-Man: Far from Home does not capitalize "from." Is there a reason why it should be capitalized on Spider-Man: Homecoming? Thanks, Packer1028 (talk) 08:26, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Packer1028: The edits made there by Gabrielkat are, while grammatically correct, incorrect. The title of the film is Far From Home.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse -- "passed away" vs. "died"

Thank-you for your extensive contributions to the Spiderman page, and many others. With respect to the phrase "passed away" in the sentence: "The film was dedicated to the memories of the creators of Spider-Man, Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, who both passed away in 2018." Wikipedia's Manual of Style, specifically "Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch" says that euphemisms such as "passed away" should be avoided in favour of neutral terms such as "died". The age or manner of death has nothing to do with the choice of phrase. I will change the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse page back to "died".Sxg169 (talk) 16:43, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Sxg169: Fair enough. Thanks for message. SassyCollins (talk) 05:29, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Endgame box office total in lede

Hi, SassyCollins. The box office total stands at $2,795,092,335. It crossed 2.795 billion by less than $100,000. Saying that it "grossed over $2.79 billion" sounds a bit more encyclopedic to me than "grossed nearly $2.8 billion", but the difference is very small. Ask for opinions on the talk page, even though I would vote in favor of the first option, I can see some agreeing to round it up to 2.8 billion. El Millo (talk) 14:45, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please express your opinion in this discussion? Another user and I haven't been able to reach a solid consensus, so another user opinion would be appreciated. Thanks and I wish you a nice day! --Mazewaxie (talk • contribs) 16:40, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Matrix gross mistake

Sorry, I thought that I'd fixed that. When Box Office Mojo moved to a new website style, they messed a bunch of stuff up, and in some cases counted some gross twice accidentally. See Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Film#Non-autoconfirmed user making broad changes to R-rated gross for a better explanation. Sorry about the confusion! Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 18:31, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Etzedek24: Dude, don't be sorry! Glad you've informed me! I indeed noticed BOM screwed some stuff up (am VERY unhappy with their "change"). As lots of totals are now different I will redo the peak rankings of the R-rated list, as my current one is now no longer correct. Cheers! SassyCollins (talk) 18:37, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Etzedek24: DP & DP2 should also be re-added to "Timeline". SassyCollins (talk) 18:38, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
