Smashing OrangeI've removed your speedy deletion tag from this article. It needed cleaning up (and still does until I get round to it), but there is clear assertion of notability. Could you please be more careful in your use of speedy deletion, and only use it when there is no assertion of notability in an article, and when deletion would clearly not be controversial. You might want to take a look at WP:MUSIC for details of what is considered to constitute notability for musicians. An article that asserts that the subject released multiple albums on significant labels (e.g. MCA) should not be speedied (and if verified would almost certainly be kept at AFD). Thanks.--Michig (talk) 10:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the tip re. Categories in preview mode. Native Records are/were a noteworthy label, despite not (yet) having an article here. I know the band toured the USA and the UK, if not the rest of Europe, and I have a few decent sources to cite, so the article should be good enough when I've finished with it. --Michig (talk) 11:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC) FlagsHi, I saw you created a lot of film and actor stubs. Regarding the actor articles, could you create them without the flag icons in the infobox? See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags). The also counts (although I don't care that much) for the film stubs. Per Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines flag icons should also be avoided from film articles. Garion96 (talk) 20:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Can I just say that I don't think the flag in film articles is any problem at all ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 17:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC) WikiProject Films December 2007 NewsletterThe December 2007 issue of the Films WikiProject newsletter has been published.

Monarchs of EnglandLugnuts, I see you've added the Monarchs of England template to the kings of Wessex. Can I suggest you remove these, at a minimum for everyone before Alfred? None of the kings of Wessex were monarchs of England in any sense; only Egbert has such a claim made for him, and that only lasted a year and is not really a claim of kingship. Alfred also was never king of all England, though he was king of all the English who were not ruled by a foreign invader. Various later kings are sometimes claimed as the first king of the English, but I don't know enough to suggest who it should be. Let me know what you think.

Our GangYes, I realized after I made the page that there one an existing one out there. I had searched for a while to make sure I was not duplicating efforts, but did not find the duplicate until afterwards. I merged the two pages together, and redirected one to go to the other. Thanx! Oanabay04 (talk) 16:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Removing cast sections from filmsHi, Please do not remove cast sections from films, as per your edits on Baby Brother and Seeing the World. The infobox should contain a handful of starring names and the info can be duplicated across the infobox and the main body of the article. I've reverted the edits you've made. Thanks.

John Ford 1957. Could you start it? Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 17:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks. It still amazes me the films that are missing even by director's as big as John Ford ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 12:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Thats a terrible idea. These lists are supposed to serve a purpose which categories can never do. Given time they could even each be written into articles with text summarising the years in American film and then the detailed tabled lists underneath. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 13:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Glad you saw that one. I usually stay well away from film discussions because it is always about something controversial and people often get the wrong impresison of me when it is about something I feel strongly about and get peed off with the deletionists. The way some editors think destructively on here really concerns me ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 20:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Centralized TV Episode DiscussionOver the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia. --Maniwar (talk) 02:35, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Redirect of Ballbearing Pinatas![]() Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ballbearing Pinatas, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ballbearing Pinatas is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). I just wanted to tell you that this is a work of art. It appears you were involved in developing it (or maybe did it all yourself) and I just wanted to congratulate you for the work involved. Rossrs and I are working on filmographies and wondered if we could use this as a model for some other articles that will have extensive filmographies? Thanks!

HelloHey, it was really nice, the Practical Joke. At first I was a bit puzzled! LOL. At the end of a tiring day (both at university and at wikipedia) it gives a nice feeling.

Nehrams2020 (talk) 01:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC) It's fairly notable surely? Loads of videos on YouTube have it at the start, suggesting that it's in fairly widespread use or at least used to generate lots of videos there. Can't find much info about it on t'internet is all. Charlie (talk) 20:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC) {{birth date}} and {{death date and age}}-templates?Hi! I see you're adding alot of {{infobox actor}} to various film actors. Apart from the WP:FLAG#Not for use in locations of birth and death-issue that's been mentioned above, could you also consider using the {{birth date}} and {{death date and age}}-templates as per this edit? Thanks in advance! —Gabbe (talk) 00:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC) My Dear Lugnuts, I see you have created many entires, soundly researched I'm sure, although some of the labels to which you refer certainly seem less notable than our own! However I agree that our writing style could be a lot less 'advertorial' with more relevent information regarding the notability of the players on the label. This can, and will be addressed. I can assure you our credentials are good, and that this is always going to be work in progress, and I agree with an earlier comment on this page that you are maybe too quick to delete a sincere, embryonic label. By the way, for someone who makes many contributions, your grasp of punctuation is very poor: there is no apostrophe in the possessive "ITS".
Quite right, "independent" does not have an "a" in it - your point being?

EraserGirl (talk) 03:40, 18 February 2008 (UTC) Re Silent films and Buster Keaton templateHi: I see you edit quite a bit of silents. I've been working on Harry Langdon's films and may do quite a few more. I think he was a very important silent film actor (well at least for time he was). I was also thinking of working on some of Buster Keaton's films, but then I saw that incredible large template he has on his films. Is there a reason the Keaton template cannot be collapsed? What are your thoughts? I know that templates can be controversial, and my buddy Blofeld has run into some antagonism in the past with them. I love templates, but if they are large, I think they should be as hidden as possible. Besides the article will look better and the information is still on the page. So please share what information I'm lacking. I see, also, that you've done an excellent job with silent film actors. Well, that's it. I hope you can help.

RE: John Ford templateHey, thanks. Director templates are basically all I do at Wikipedia nowdays, since they're simple and don't require my undivided attention. A lot of major ones have already done, but I was shocked to find nothing for John Ford! It might be a bit incomplete though, as I was working from IMDb and didn't include his short films or short documentaries. .... 22:22, 22 February 2008 (UTC) HatnotesI'd just like to point out that adding hatnotes, as in Wee Willie Winkie (film), is discouraged by WP:NAMB.

Accusing someone of a bad faith nomination is a rather serious accusation, and I'm surprised you were willing to level it so lightly. Please keep in mind that deletion discussions are just that--discussions--and that just because someone disagrees with you is no reason to stop assuming good faith. --jonny-mt 08:35, 10 March 2008 (UTC) New messagePlease remove your practical joke thing. This isn't a thread or a serious notification or anything, just a friendly heads-up. I had one too, but overall it is more disruptive than fun (seeing as you never actually find out if anyone fell for it) and imagine the poor dial-up users (whose ranks I am to join for the next four days as I exceed my 30gig limit once more...)

Funny GamesHi. I think instead of having a disamb page it would be better if Funny Games redirects to the original film and there is a link to the remake. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Ok, no problem. I would put it in the talk pages. I just contacted you at first because I thought to put it in the talk page of the article but I don't think many people would participate in the conversation. I am searching for examples of other films with remakes. I think there is not a "common practice". Check for example The Curse. This is a case I would put a disambiguation page!
