Hello, I'm Avicennasis. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Template:Noir registry without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

Need help on noninclude

Hello, Espngeek. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Moon Breath Beat, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi, I'm Robertgombos. Espngeek, thanks for creating Telephilia!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. There are several sources of references for this (http://www.indiewire.com/2013/05/telephilia-has-television-become-a-more-relevant-american-medium-than-art-film-38350/, Google books has a few titles etc.). Thanks

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Hi, I've just reverted your addition of the fandom category to Internet Troll, as it's not relevant in this case - an internet troll is not in itself a fandom, nor are they the primary purpose of said trolls. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia and let me know if you have any questions on this or any other topic! Keira1996 02:16, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Touched by an Angel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page College Humor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Renegade Cut 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/Renegade Cut until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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. 💵Money💵emoji💵^Talk 02:42, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Renegade Cut. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

I noticed your recent edit to Millennial whoop does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

• You need to stop removing plots. I'm not sure why you're doing this, but it verges on vandalism. Explain yourself on the article talk page and get consensus to remove an entire plot, please. If you're removing plots because you think they're too long, please don't do this. Instead, streamline the plot down to the size recommended by WP:FILMPLOT, ~700 words. Per WP:PRESERVE, imperfect content that can be fixed should not be removed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:15, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You seriously need to stop blanking plot summaries. Per WP:PRESERVE, this content should not be summarily removed simply because you think it's too long. If you think it's too long, take the time to actually summarize the plot better. A long plot summary is better than no plot summary (or one that is too short to even understand what the film is about). WP:FILMPLOT recommends a minimum of 400 words, for example. You also need to stop spamming external links to YouTube videos. Please see WP:ELNO. They should almost never be used as citations, because the vast majority of content on YouTube is self-published. A reliable source, such as CNN or the BBC, who operate a YouTube channel could be cited. Reliable sources need to have editorial oversight, a history of fact-checking, and be staffed by professional journalists. Enthusiasts who self-publish their thoughts to YouTube are not a reliable source. If you continue to blank plot summaries or spam links to YouTube channels, I will ask an uninvolved administrator to block you for disruption.

A tag has been placed on 18 Carat Affair requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

The article Late Night Delight has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of independent notability for this album, which can only be found at the typical streaming and self-promotional sites. The article has a bunch of sources, but most of them actually identify the artists that were sampled on this album, and not the album itself.

I wanted to let you know that I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-

Thank you for your new article on the album "Late Night Delight" and for adding a source after I proposed that it be deleted. However, you have one review that can be mined for the writer's content but is not believable as a footnote for every single song.

Please review my new page Espngeek (talk) 02:55, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please not unlink redlinked titles in the list, and not pipe them to the animator's biographical article in lieu of leaving them as redlinks? While it's true that not every film in the list has its own article yet, that's not because there are notability questions about them — by virtue of having Genie/CSA nominations, every single film in the list is inherently notable per WP:NFILM, and the work of getting all the articles up and running just isn't done yet. Wikipedia does not have a rule forbidding all redlinks: if a topic is definitely notable and just doesn't have an article yet, it's allowed to stay a redlink, and the only redlinks we should unlink are those where notability is either questionable or non-existent.

If you bury a red link by piping it to some other topic, then it's much harder for me to keep track of which articles are still missing and need my attention, if I have no way to distinguish blue links that represent finished articles about the films from blue links that have been piped to the animator instead of leading to a finished article about the film — and if somebody else creates the article about a film but forgets to relink it in the list, I have no other way of knowing that they've created the article.

That's why every film in the list should remain wikilinked, to a direct page title and not piped somewhere else, whether there's already an article there or not: that's how the film WikiProject knows what films still need to be worked on. Bearcat (talk) 14:47, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't reference information in Wikipedia articles to YouTube videos, or primary source copies of the films themselves. Appropriate referencing for Wikipedia content is print journalism published about the film or the award ceremony in media, not streaming copies of the film or the award ceremony. We use secondary sourcing to reference Wikipedia articles, not the primary kind — and you've also been removing solid sources to replace them with weaker and less notability-supporting ones. Bearcat (talk) 18:46, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Globe and Mail is a real newspaper, which means it is a secondary source, not a primary one. Real journalism in real newspapers is the good kind of sourcing; YouTube streaming clips are the bad kind. Bearcat (talk) 18:51, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• And the only reliable source for History of the World in Three Minutes Flat? More than one source. Espngeek (talk) 18:53, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Five distinct citations to five different news articles is more than adequate for the length that the article currently entails; we don't care about how many different newspapers the citations are coming from nearly as much as we care about how many different citations there are, and five is more than adequate. Sure, additional content can certainly be added with additional sourcing, but nothing currently in the article needs more sources than it already has — we never need more than one citation to resupport the same statement, and any new sources being added to an article should be used to expand the article with new content rather than as a second or third footnote for content that already has a valid footnote. And at any rate, when it comes to retrieving archived media coverage, people can only do that in databases that they have access to — I don't have accounts with HighBeam or Newspaperarchive.com, for example, so I cannot access sources archived in those databases. And, unfortunately, in the database I do have access to, most other newspapers only kick in from 1982 on, and The Globe and Mail is the only newspaper it archives any earlier than that. So, yeah, sometimes The Globe and Mail is all I can actually use for old topics, but that doesn't mean there's a problem if I cite five different articles from it instead of just one.

And as for your question on my talk page while I was writing this, one of our rules for what constitutes a reliable source is that it represents independent coverage about the thing being claimed rather than the thing's own self-published content about itself — for example, a person becomes notable for holding a job because newspapers publish journalistic reportage about his work in that job, not just because he has a staff profile on his own employer's website or a résumé on LinkedIn. And another of our rules is that YouTube videos are never acceptable referencing for anything — for one thing, YouTube is not the rightful holder of the copyright on an Academy Award broadcast, and we are not allowed to link to copyright violations whether they've been already taken down by the host site or not. It's not "discriminatory", because there's no pressing reason why primary source video would even be necessary if more reliable independent sourcing exists.

And furthermore, one of the things you did was to remove legitimate and sourceable awards that should quite rightly be mentioned in the article, without giving any reason whatsoever for why you were doing that. Bearcat (talk) 19:17, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WorldCat directory entries are also not reliable or notability-supporting sources either. A notability-supporting reliable source contains prose content about the film. Bearcat (talk) 19:24, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Did you know that 97% of your 14,200+ edits have no edit summaries, and that only 431 do? This is really unacceptable and extremely discourteous to other editors who have to expend extra effort to determine what changes you've made. This came to light for me, trying to work out who the vandal is and what they were doing by making repeated edits at 13 Reasons Why where an IP editor, along with yourself, has equally failed to explain their edits. I note from this Talk Page that over the last few years you have been repeatedly asked to include them. Please will you do so, in future?

In case, like me, you're terribly forgetful, you can easily go to Special:Preferences and tick the "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" in the "Editing" Tab so you don't forget next time you save your changes without explaining them. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 20:59, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Espngeek: Hey, I was just wondering why you keep removing the "People" subsection from the "Superlatives" section on the National Film Registry page? I only ask because I don't see the reasoning behind it, as its all superlatives of the people who have been inducted - like the youngest, most inducted, etc. Anyway, I thought I'd reach out before I changed it back again, because if I'm missing something, I'd really like to know so this doesn't keep happening. Thanks! Bradforce28 (talk) 18:59, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give The Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time 2012 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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, 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.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Animalympics. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Typically I'd just leave a note asking why you added a source that didn't support the information preceding it and didn't include an edit summary to explain your intentions, but you've been warned about this multiple times, and frankly as-is it almost appears that you're trying to promote the website you cited.

Hi, thanks for all your improvements on Nicole Van Goethem. Just two points, one important and one very minor:

• you added a link to youtube, but it seems to me that whoever uploaded this video doesn't own the rights to this mobie. Linking to copyright violations is strictly forbidden on enwiki. I removed the link, if you have added similar links to other articles (as references or as external links), it would be best if you removed those as well.
• You changed "notes" to "references". Both are acceptable (on Wikipedia and in the wider world), and the enwiki rule is that in such cases, the original form is kept (i.e. people don't change "notes" to "references", but if the original is "references" then people who prefer "notes" don't get to change it either). This, like I said, is a very minor quibble only. Fram (talk) 14:49, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Neon noir into Film noir. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that wasmoved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 20:30, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Have you read WP:DEADLINK? I have again noticed you deleting a dead link. You did not explain why you did this in your edit summary.[3]

There is no reason to delete to delete dead links. Dead links can be fixed. Bots will usually find archive copies for them. You can go to the Wayback Machine and find archive copies manually yourself if you want. In many cases (such as Variety.com) dead links are not dead but have been moved to a different part of the same website. In the unlikely event you do have a good reason to delete a dead link then explain it in your edit summary. -- 109.79.82.182 (talk) 12:20, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just fixed the Roger Ebert link Espngeek (talk) 13:22, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't comment because of only one change. Roger Ebert is a good example of where the link can almost always be easily replaced/updated, it is good that you fixed it. I reverted some of your deletes to the Watchmen film article too, and again links to Empire magazine can usually be fixed without needing to find archive copies.

But even when the links are dead or difficult to fix you don't need to remove them or replace them with entirely different critics like you did with A Place for Lovers. Leave the dead links and let the bots do their work and try to find archive copies.

Maybe I'm not explaining enough. Please ask questions at the Teahouse or try reading about the Wayback Machine and WP:DEADLINK. Please don't delete links. -- 109.79.82.182 (talk) 20:24, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you added many many Navboxes to the article Meet the Feebles. Please do not add Navboxes indiscriminately to an article.

I am skeptical of Navboxes in general, half of readers (mobile devices) will never see them. Please note: "The use of navigation templates is neither required nor prohibited for any article."

In this case all the Navboxes were for Awards that this film did not win, and were not relevant. The WP:NAVBOX guidelines say "The subject of the template should be mentioned in every article" or to put it another way if Meet the Feebles is not in the Navbox, then the Navbox should not be in the Meet the Feebles article. Hope that makes it clearer.

If you must add Navboxes please try to be selective and keep them relevant. WP:NAVBOX -- 109.76.205.197 (talk) 15:10, 22 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Caillou into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Hi, I see you've been contributing a lot of extra references to Music (2021 film), might I recommend when adding references/citations you either use the visual editor, or learn how to write full references as opposed to merely including them as external links. It is very helpful to be able to display within wikipedia information about the site, author, when it was written, and when it was accessed (as well as being able to include archive links where acquired)! 94.13.35.21 (talk) 15:18, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I saw that you deleted a bunch of references and citations from Twilight Zone: The Movie, many of which were used to verify potentially contentious claims, with no explanation beyond the word "Unnecessary", so I'm here to tell you that you really should read through Wikipedia:Verifiability. It's a Core Content Policy of Wikipedia, so editing in ignorance of it could get you into trouble. Given that you've been on Wikipedia for a while, such edits might even be presumed to be WP:Vandalism.--Martin IIIa (talk) 13:49, 28 March 2021 (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. Thanks!

Your recent editing history at Future funk shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please stop

• arbitrarily adding multiple bundled references to support minor claims when one reference does the job just fine (WP:CITATIONOVERKILL).
• adding sources that you have not actually read to support your original research (WP:OR). You most recently added this link to the future funk article even though the word future funk" is never used by the author.
• adding bare-url citations (WP:BAREURLS). I've noticed other editors have voiced concerns to you about this habit in the past.
• using user-generated websites and student newspapers as sources (WP:BLOGS). You've been editing for several years and you still don't know that Whosampled and Discogs aren't OK on Wikipedia?

If you can't learn how to properly cite sources, or learn how to add content to Wikipedia without breaking WP:OR, I'll have to report you to admin noticeboard for burdening editors with your persistent sloppy work.

You should know that it is not a good idea to remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Thank you.

Hi, you may have noticed that I recently reverted some edits of yours, where you removed dead links/references (edit1, edit2, edit3, edit4, edit5, edit6, edit7). Not only did most of the removed refs/urls have archived version in the web archive (one even already had a working archive url in the ref template); even if they don't, dead links should not be removed simply because you "[c]ouldn't find the article to replace [it]" or "don't know how to archive". Please see WP:DEADREF for a step-by-step guideline on how to deal with dead links. If you really don't want to get into that or can't follow that guideline, I suggest you leave dead links alone altogether or limit yourself to tagging them (with {{dead link}}), if you come across them. (Side note: if you, as suggested by multiple other editors in the past, would start using proper ref templates, you'd actually make it easier for bots to automatically add archive links and thus would need to deal less with them yourself.) Felida⁹⁷ (talk) 16:55, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working. Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. If you continue to attempt to make these kinds of unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, we may very well find ourselves at WP:ANI and you may be blocked from editing.

Since my last notice/warning, you simply removed dead links on three more occasions (edit1, edit2, edit3), once with the edit summary "dead link". These refs again had either an archive link available or already linked to a working archived version. So, once again: "Do not delete a citation merely because the URL is not working." Also again: if you don't want repair/fix dead links (as outlined in WP:DEADREF), that's fine, but then just leave them alone or tag them with {{dead link}} and move on. Note: You also should not replace a dead link with a {{cn}} tag as you did here, unless you have gone through the other five steps outlined in WP:DEADREF.

The 1999 avant-garde black and white film Treasure Island Espngeek (talk) 17:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Noticing your recent edit on List of films considered the worst, I must inform you that the Channel Awesome scandal, especially given what it detailed, doesn’t make it an unreliable source. I think it’s more the popularity (or in some cases, notoriety) of the reviewer that determines whether it’s worth adding or not. Heck, this page lists the Cinema Snob who’s decidedly not as well-known. Look, I feel the same about the Channel Awesome fiasco just as anyone else, and I’m not really a fan of NC for that matter. But contempt over what happened is no excuse to remove content such as this from a page. Crummymummy (talk) 03:21, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that you copied or moved text from Auteur into List of video game auteurs. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. DanCherek (talk) 02:40, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, List of video game auteurs, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi, I declined your CSD tagging of Bisexual lighting [5] because "some say it's just a theory" does not fit any valid criterion for speedy deletion.

Hello, Espngeek. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "List of video game auteurs".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, 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.

The article List of films considered "Oscar bait" that failed to receive any Academy Award nominations has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is trivia and hardly worthy of a Wikipedia article.

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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that I didn't know that the production of the Brave Little Toaster was independent I thought the movie was a disney production (although it was but the company lost the rights) until around 90s that Disney came back with the film rights to distribute on home video and then released two sequels and that's also why the film is not on Disney+ (I found out that there is only in some territory Like for example america since the film is not on Disney+ in Brazil the country I live in, only the sequels) laughs laughs thanks for reading!

"Popular mainstream studio productions of films with strong Christian messages or Biblical stories, such as Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, The Prince of Egypt, The Robe, Sergeant York, The Blind Side, The Book of Eli, Machine Gun Preacher, Risen, Hacksaw Ridge, and Silence, are not specifically part of the Christian film industry, being more agnostic about their audiences' religious beliefs."

See the Lost film and List of rediscovered films articles. "Rediscovered film" simply means films that were at one point considered lost, but were rediscovered. It has nothing to do with fading into obscurity. --Paul_012 (talk) 02:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of shows considered as Peak TV Espngeek (talk) 13:53, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By definition, the films and filmmakers listed in the article Indiewood should all be part of the American independent film movement. The article should not include films that were produced without any American involvement (Japan, France, Australia, the UK, etc. are not part of the American independent film movement). Furthermore, just because someone has made an independent film does not mean that that film is part of Indiewood nor that the director is therefore a notable "Indiewood filmmaker". Please do not confuse "independent film" with "Indiewood". They are not the same thing. You appear to have made the overwhelming majority of these incorrect additions by conflating "indie" with "Indiewood" and automatically assuming that anyone who has ever made an independent film is therefore a notable "Indiewood filmmaker". I would like to kindly ask you to go through the additions and remove all of the non-American films and filmmakers that were incorrectly added. Nicholas0 (talk) 16:26, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Espngek, I see here that you are familiar with Australian New Wave. I am not entirely familiar with the criteria, but would have thought that Phar Lap is a definite candidade. Could you weigh in? Regards. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 12:45, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Peak TV. 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.

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! DoctorMatt (talk) 04:44, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, except for the lead for now, which had been well worked out, although other editors may like yours better. Maybe talk page some of the main points.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Austin Film Critics Association Award for Best Documentary Film. STOP comparing other awards to the Academy Awards. You've been warned repeatedly. Binksternet (talk) 06:10, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, some of them did win the Oscar. What's wrong with that? Espngeek (talk) 16:09, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are combining two different things to create a connection that isn't specified in references. Basically, you need a reference for this stuff, with the source mentioning both awards together. It's not that hard to understand. Binksternet (talk) 16:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I won't "connect" the two again because you insist that this article is separate from said Oscar category. Espngeek (talk) 16:19, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not just because I said so. You have been violating the hard policy of WP:SYNTH, which is about combining sources to create a new conclusion. You haven't been citing your sources in these award lists, but of course you must be referring back and forth between separate lists of Oscar winners and lists of other award winners to create this synthesis. The synthesis is there despite your lack of citations.

Other editors have also done this, for instance SamuelLovesFilms in the creation of the page Austin Film Critics Association Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. But Wikipedia policy forbids it. Binksternet (talk) 17:04, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I do like connecting the dots to Oscar gold that is also in the same category (hard not to even during awards season), but I can understand your frustration. Espngeek (talk) 17:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by inserting unpublished information or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at Golden Raspberry Awards. How many times will I give you a final warning against violations of WP:NOR and WP:SYNTH? You keep doing it, and you have never promised to stop doing it. Two days ago, you added some cites to the page but none of the cites mentioned Raspberry or Razzie at all. On January 22 you made a series of addtions none of which talked about how the Razzie and the other honor were won by the same film or person.

It's a puzzle, wondering why you refuse to write edit summary|edit summaries.

So I speculate: are you in a manic editing state, and nothing — nothing — is allowed to slow you down? Do you fancy yourself a Nietzchean Übermensch, superior to the convention of slave morality that calls for including an edit summary with every edit? Are you one of those who cannot take a gentle reminder to include an edit summary? Do you have a wager over how many edits you can make without an edit summary before you forget and accidentally include an edit summary, or regarding how many times some other editor or their bot will remind you to write an edit summary?

Inquiring minds want to know! – but more, we would like to start seeing edit summaries in your edits. Meanwhile please excuse this admmittedly excessive addition to your Talk page, where I am not the first to write about your omission, deliberate or (incredible if true) accidental, of edit summaries.

Thanks for your contributions to Public Obscenities. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ratnahastin (talk) 12:42, 14 May 2024 (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! DoctorMatt (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't keep removing the stub templates in Postmodern horror, because the sections with them are not very much improved or expanded. The lead section and the background section are still too short and not very clear. If you would like to remove them, discuss your points in Talk:Postmodern horror. --saebou (talk) 09:28, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Doniago. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of The Langoliers (miniseries). Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:List of films considered the worst, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.LM2000 (talk) 13:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Arrested Development, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

Hi, I just want to say that I have notified the Neutral point of view noticeboard. I agree with your sentiment, but I feel like a more experienced set of eyes might be more effective in bringing about the necessary changes to the article. So, let's keep things civil (advice I myself seem to struggle with - see my block log). Just a heads up! Tito Omburo (talk) 20:24, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: I just checked your contributions. Apologies if this seems in any way patronizing, lol. All-caps is a bit of a red-flag, even if fully justified. Tito Omburo (talk) 20:26, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Talk:Golden Age of Television (2000s–2023), even if you intend to fix them later. Your edits have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use your sandbox. Please do not edit discussions which have been closed, instead please make all further comments in an appropriate discussion page or other section. Happily888 (talk) 23:51, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Omg I was literally thinking about that one before I fell asleep for a nap! Glad you caught that in the source. Thanks for that. Currently trying to find better sources than the ones I had for the other titles, which don't seem to be good enough. Finding some difficulty. I know A Patch of Blue is a perfect New Hollywood fit, and Guy Green the director was in the British New Wave/kitchen sink era of filmmaking.

Please don't edit while I'm editing with the in-use template up though. That template is up to discourage editing to avoid edit conflicts, and having to then copy and paste or figure out what is different before I lose it and start all over.

Could use help trying to find sources or looking through old sources, seeing if any of the titles I'm adding have been mentioned. For example, Psych-Out is very New Hollywood, while Funny Girl I don't understand how it's on there, yet Psych-Out is more obscure so it was tricky finding sources. I think I found a better one.

Anyway, it's great knowing another person is as interested in these films as I am, and into such articles as well. --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 01:37, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Funny Girl is in NH due to the Oscar-winning presence of Barbara Streisand.^[1] Espngeek (talk) 01:47, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, so she's considered New Hollywood.

I know I have been skipping the reference process, because I'm trying to catch up, but I will go work on that now.

PLEASSSSSSE stop editing while I am editing though. The in-use template is there to discourage that. Wait until I'm finished updating my sources before checking and deleting, or editing the 1960s any further, okay? --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 02:21, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been watching a variety of films lately, but a few I've either seen or just saw recently that almost could fit in New Hollywood—if not for their preceding years—got me thinking: Let No Man Write My Epitaph, Patterns, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Middle of the Night to a degree, A Hatful of Rain, The Man with the Golden Arm; and so forth. Is there a particular movement that preceded New Hollywood, in which these films would fit among others?

I can't seem to think of any right now. I did see pages for American Independent and also Indiewood, so maybe the latter is their place? They're all excellent films btw, that I highly recommend if you haven't seen them yet. But yeah, just curious about that and thought I'd ask you and Betty. Let me know when you can! Thanks. --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 19:55, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so glad you found something to verify Joyride (1977). I knew it belonged, but when I was googling for sources, I couldn't find any. So yeah, awesome! Also, I can't believe none of us noticed Bang the Drum Slowly (1973) was missing, but again, kudos. --Cinemaniac86^Talk_Stalk 01:38, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
