Film article plots

[edit]

Hi there. Just letting you know WP:MOSFILM states film plots in film articles should be no longer than 700 words. Ideally they should be around 500. Accordingly, whilst your edit to the page Final Destination was well written and accurate, as the plot was already at the maximum 700 words your edit has has been reverted. The article is about the film, not the films plot, the plot is just there to give the reader the gist about what the film was about. They do not require precise details. You may wish to check how long the plot already is before you start editing it in the future. I hope you find this information helpful. Cheers. :) Freikorp (talk) 22:54, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image addtions

[edit]

Would you please stop adding pointers to unverified images in cryptozoology articles. (By "unverified", I mean the photographer is not determined, not that the subject of the photograph is not verified.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 22:05, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Phil Baker (musician)

[edit]

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Phil Baker (musician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 00:55, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Northampton State Hospital

[edit]

The article Northampton State Hospital has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable building. (Not a speedy condition)

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 00:57, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to Northampton State Hospital. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page.

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Clue (book series) are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. --Hnsampat (talk) 21:19, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you added song lyrics to the article Ya Got Trouble. These lyrics are still under copyright. Wikipedia has very strict rules about the use of non-free works such as song lyrics, photographs, and sound files. I've deleted the lyrics, and I invite you to read further on non-free content so that you can avoid inadvertently adding non-free content where it cannot be used.

Signal (novel)

[edit]

Thanks for taking the time to add to WP's articles on young adult and childrens literature. i added some material to the article, and de-orphaned it (see "what links here") to help it along. I like to revisit my earlier articles to see if i have learned how to edit better. I hope some of my edits help your editing skills. I have not read the book, so i dont want to touch the plot synopsis, but the online sources would be more succinct, so either rewording them, or trimming the current synopsis, makes sense. WP definitely needs to expand its young adult literature coverage, and this one seems notable to me. i also created the article on the author, which helps establish notability (usually an author is more notable than their individual works, unless they are known for one highly notable book only)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 18:00, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. When you recently edited List of Cult Films, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages From Beyond, The Silence of the Lambs and The Thing (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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Kermet Apio

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Kermet Apio 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 person or group of people, but it does not 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cloudz679 20:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that according to this, you are one of two bozos interfering with an experienced editors version of the article.

Appreciate the message. Now, why is this experienced editor any more experienced than me? I've made over 2000 edits and been on here for 3 years! This guy is just being bullheaded and won't accept other revisions. At least I accept that not EVERYONE will agree with me and try to compromise. Just because he's been on here longer does NOT give him special privileges of his own and allow him to automatically veto other edits and insult anyone who disagrees with him. Glad to see that someone realizes that this "experienced" editor is hiding behind phoney rules and a longer edit list than mine. Thanks for the input!

(Burmiester (talk) 05:21, 29 June 2013 (UTC))[reply]

First, please don't make personal attacks, even if you feel you've been attacked first. Secondly, just as a note, "wheel-warring" is something that only applies to administrators, so please don't use that term when you mena "edit-warring". Thanks. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:20, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to finally meet you, Bushranger. I've seen your discussions before when you've helped to defend Dave's rather childish insults to other users, as illustrated in the link above. Along with User: Baseball Bugs, you seem to be Dave's go-to accomplice who appears to have a full time job defending him from an ever-growing list of enemies, so your message on this page isn't particularly a surprise to me. Wonder why that is that this Dave has so many enemies. Hmm... Anyway, I am not meaning to make any personal attacks to this Dave fellow, but it is making me very angry that he is hiding behind "rules" to force his edits on other people. I appreciate your input but when I copied and pasted Dave's rules for his talk page, I wasn't only referring to wheel warring. I wasn't at all, in fact. I was referring to the text behind it. Thanks for your time and I appreciate your input. By the way, I was very impressed with your user page the first time I came across it, so I hope you don't mind if I took some of your userboxes to use on my page. Even if we seem to disagree on this Dave person, I bet we would be friends in real life because we have so much in common. And I hope you don't take offense to this, but as an administrator who appears to be very kind and intelligent, why are you backing this Dave1185, who seems to get very angry whenever someone doesn't agree with them and goes as far as to insult them? Just wondering. (Burmiester (talk) 18:04, 30 June 2013 (UTC))[reply]

IMFDB

[edit]

I noted your edits to Die Hard and that you claimed your source was IMFDB. I'm not sure whether that's the same site as IMDb (I got redirected when I tried IMFDB.com), but if so, or if it's similar, please be aware that such sites are generally not considered reliable sources per WP:RS/IMDb, and should not be used for reference purposes. Happy editing! DonIago (talk) 16:51, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, thanks! It's imfdb.org. And I would consider it a reliable source since it uses armory records for the film itself and also uses dates and models to identify what weapons were used. So it is very accurate even if you don't consider it reliable. I would just ask that people do their homework on firearms before automatically reverting my edits. Thanks and cheers!
Fair enough. :) I can't speak to that particular site as I'm unfamiliar with it (in fact, I can't even access it from my current location). DonIago (talk) 17:24, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note re: Die Hard changes

[edit]

IMDB is not considered a reliable source since it is primarily from user contributions. And we generally avoid making assumption on things like a type of weapon just from visual identification (in addition to being too much of a detail). --MASEM (t) 16:52, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • IMFDB. It's a website about firearms. And since I'm a member of the Wiki Firearms project I know of firearms. And since Die Hard is a very firearm driven film, I think that it only makes sense to at least provide links to the weapons used since they're already mentioned in the text. Like, with Tony's weapon, why not provide a link to MP5? And it should be noted that he is armed only with his pistol since this is the conflict for much of the film as well. The Die Hard summary is far from "too much detail". It's short and concise and providing links to weapons is no different than providing links to Bearer Bonds or C-4 Explosives. How are they different? It's expanding the encyclopedia and providing links to related pages. How is this overdetail?
I think the general feeling is that unless the specific model of firearm is somehow essential to the plot it's a trivial detail, especially with regards to the Plot section where we should try to limit our word count. It may be worth including in the Production section, but I would recommend only doing so if a third-party source took note of the firearms for some reason, which I'm guessing in this case is possible but unlikely.
Also, while not required, it's generally considered good form to sign your posts, which you can do by adding 4 tildes (~) to the end of it. Cheers! DonIago (talk) 17:22, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize that I forgot to sign my posts. Actually I'm trying to make the plot more concise, and add necessary details. What does it hurt to provide links to radio used along with the MP5, which is pretty essential to the plot, as is his Beretta 92F service sidearm.

And in the little inserts in the Die Hard four star collection movie case they do confirm the weapons used. (Burmiester (talk) 17:27, 22 August 2013 (UTC))[reply]

FN P90 image

[edit]

Hi,

I undid your revert. That's not a real P90. Why don't you listen to someone who actually has one? That's an airsoft gun, not a real gun. The markings are 100% fake and so are the bullets. It's a Tokyo Marui P90 TR airsoft gun. Furthermore, WP infobox images should have neutral backgrounds whenever possible. The current infobox image at FN P90 is a real P90 on a neutral background.

Do you have to delete the page? The Room is regarded as the worst film ever made. That isn't disputed. I'm remaining neutral here. It's not an attack page. It's documenting reception to the firearms. In no way is Lorcin an attack page. I have not insulted or threatened anyone, but I'm merely stating fact. I'll change the page, but it shouldn't be deleted.(Burmiester (talk) 01:54, 25 September 2013 (UTC))[reply]
(talk page stalker) I know you're acting in good faith here, but I do see how it was taken as an attack page because you botched the point of view. This is obviously written from the standpoint from somebody who thinks Lorcin pistols are the worst ever made, whereas your example The Room, is written neutrally while still touching on the aspects of the film that make people consider it the worst ever made. TCN7JM 02:04, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be possible to recreate the page from a different point of view? I think it's completely unreasonable to delete the page without responding to my questions and wishes to change the page. Man, people on wikipedia can be so uptight rather than just using common sense to correct the problem. Maybe that's why I like Wikia better. (Burmiester (talk) 17:08, 25 September 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Edits to your user page

Hello Burmiester, just want to let you know that I have finished my expansion on the article for the horror film I Drink Your Blood and I have already incorporated what I have done so far on the draft page into the actual article itself. However its still needs a little more work done to it though, namely giving proper citations to unsourced material, updating citations, and expanding the section on the film's controversy. At the moment I am finished with the article, and I am leaving it up to others to further modify and expand it. I am also working on a new article to collaborate on for WikiProject Horror. It is the article on the infamous horror character Leatherface which is pretty significant but, unfortunately, it is in a state of severe underdevelopment and suffering from poor writing and few sources. My plan is to expand it significantly so that it reaches its full potential, and quite possibly become a featured article like the one on Jason Voorhees. However, for this particular project I will need the help of as many editors as possible since the level of expansion needed would be too daunting for any one or even three editors. Similar to the other collaboration that I have done with I Drink Your Blood, I have already created a draft for the use of expanding the article which I will include the link here. Let me know whether or not you would be able to help expand the article on my talk page and see if you can get other people on this.

Please update the box office of The Many Saints of Newark. Box Office Mojo updated over a day ago to 11.4 million, but no one has made the changes and the film article still shows the gross as 10.8 million. 59.91.230.22 (talk) 03:04, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. (Burmiester (talk) 20:10, 20 October 2021 (UTC))[reply]
Please update it in the lede and reception part too. The Many Saints of Newark#Reception. Change the domestic box office to 8.1 million from 7.9 million, the international box office to 3.3 million from 2.9 million, and the total box office to 11.4 million from 10.8 million.
