Your film edits

David, please step back a moment and take a breath in your quest to edit the leads to major films. First, read WP:LEAD to see if your edit is really "a summary of [the film's] most important aspects". Second, make sure your statement ("critical success" and other similar editorials) is actually reliably sourced in the body of the article and not just an inference you've made based on other facts. Third, make sure your edit is encyclopedic and not just gushing about how great the film was. I've reverted a lot of your edits, but I'm tiring of it, so as a new editor, you might want to go a little more slowly until you're more sure of your ground. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:32, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

David, while enthusiastic editors are more than welcome, it just wastes your time and ours if we have to revert most of what you've done. It is worth reading the links provided in the "Welome" message at the top your talk page. Some of the problems I have come across in your edits:
- WP:OVERLINK – We don't every single phrase linked; readers know what "American" and "science fiction" is, so we don't generally link terms unless the context demands it.
- WP:EGG links – Worse than overlinking, is when the the link doesn't take the reader to the topic they would expect; for example, on the Chinatown article you linked to the "greatest films of all time" page, but Chinatown isn't even included, so what's the point? Same goes for the "highest grossing films" article.
- WP:PEACOCK – Phrases like "Rocky was a smash hit" are not encyclopedic. We use quantitative and qualitative descriptions on Wikipedia
- WP:RS/IMDB – Generally IMDB is not regarded as a reliable source, because much of the info is user submitted. See WP:RELIABLE for more information on reliable sources.
- WP:VERIFIABLE – All content on Wikipedia must be verifiable. You added content that was not sourced, and worse in some cases just plain wrong.
- WP:ORIGINAL – All analysis must be sourced to external, published sources. As editors, we should not interject what we think into articles.
- WP:LEAD – The lead is supposed to summarise the contents of the article, and should not inlcuded anything that isn't mentioned elsewhere in the article. Leads for GA and FA rated articles are often carefully composed for this purpose. No-one should be adding fresh content to the lead unless it is added to the main body of the article too.

I appreciate all the guidelines can take some getting used to, but if you want to continue contributing you will have to abide by them from now on. Please read through the links provided before altering any more articles. Betty Logan (talk) 21:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop

Hello and thank you for your work here. We need to ask you to please stop using IMDb as a source for the changes that you are making in the infoboxes. They are not a reliable source for editing at wikipedia as they are a form of a Wiki that anyone can edit and their fact checking is spotty at best. Conversely, Box Office Mojo is a reliable source and that is why you will find them as the source for box office figures in many of our articles. If you have any questions please feel free to ask them here Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film. Your help in this will be appreciated. MarnetteD | Talk 03:25, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I am trying to do three things at once. I see that you are also using The Numbers. They are another reliable source so good work. When you have time if you could just remove any IMDb cites that would be great. Thanks again for your time and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 03:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here Talk:The Shining (film)#Note.2Fquery on the Budget is a current conversation that may help you understand what I am trying to get at better than my posts so far. MarnetteD | Talk 03:30, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Carrie (1976 film), please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 19:25, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to The Towering Inferno . Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -- Doniago (talk) 20:25, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Terminator 2: Judgment Day shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. --IllaZilla (talk) 07:13, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi.

List of years in film

Do not add back information without discussing it in-depth first; reverting other editors' edits (which have already been discussed and agreed on) is actually unconstructive.

File:Film Poster for The First Time.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:17, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

File:Film Poster for The D.I.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete or generic . Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact source (such as web page, or printed document) where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain, search engine, pinboard, aggregator, or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. — JJMC89 (T·C) 22:24, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Photo of Phil Gersh with his wife Beatrice Aberle.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Photo of Phil Gersh with his wife Beatrice Aberle.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Replaceable fair use File:Joe Turkel in Blade Runner.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Joe Turkel in Blade Runner.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 22:21, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Korean War Service

Hi. I added this section on Talk:Adolph Caesar#Korean War service about "Category:United States Navy personnel of the Korean War". Subsequent to that, you re-added the category. I have again removed the category until a reliable source is added that shows he had a defining role in the Korean War. Semper fi! FieldMarine (talk) 14:42, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023

Thank you for your contributions. Please note that there are several conventions regarding the naming of Wikipedia articleswhich you should bear in mind when moving pages such as E. M. Nathanson. First, article names should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. Second, names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors, and for a general audience over specialists. There are several specific guidelines regarding naming of pages (by topic, by title characteristic,...) that are listed on our page regarding name conventions Wikipedia:Article titles, and in the category of naming conventions. Additionally, technical guidance regarding Wikipedia page names can be found at Help:Page name. Related guidance regarding what happens when two different names are used to refer to the same topic, or when a single name refers to several meanings that each deserve their own article, can be found at Wikipedia:Redirect and Wikipedia:Disambiguation. How and when to include a namespace qualifier in a page name is explained in Wikipedia:Namespace. Guidance on changing page names can be found in: Help:Moving a page. If you are not sure whether renaming a page is appropriate or desirable, please consult Wikipedia:Requested moves. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Note: See MOS:INITIALS regarding spacing between initials. If you feel a page should be moved, please propose it at WP:RM instead of changing accurate links as you did for The Dirty Dozen. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 01:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 01:44, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Plagiarism of text about Alan Greenspan

I have reverted an edit you made on Alan Greenspan where you copied text from the New York Times into the article. Even with a citation to the NYT, copying the text word-for-word is plagiarism. Because the NYT article is still under copyright, it is also a violation of our copyright policy to use it in this way. If you want to include the information in the article, you should rewrite it in your own words, while still citing the NYT as the source of the information. Brief quotations from a copyrighted source may be appropriate if they express a relevant opinion or in other unusual cases, but the type of material you copied does not quality for those exceptions.

Deletion discussion about Frank Ronzio

Hello Ldavid1985, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Frank Ronzio, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Frank Ronzio (2nd nomination).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|The Night Watch}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
