Good List, But

The Master Redyva really likes your list (& is impressed) but the Master Redyva thinks the greatest might be Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Oliver Stone, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola. Master Redyva ♠ 19:09, 5 November 2024 UTC [refresh].

I loved The Virgin Suicides, but I might have liked Lost in Translation more and I have yet to see Marie Antoinette. I hope you have a good holiday weekend. Master Redyva ♠ 19:09, 5 November 2024 UTC [refresh].

The code below will add the bouncing logo. Delete it if you do not want it here and add to another of your user pages if you want it there. Master Redyva ♠ 19:09, 5 November 2024 UTC [refresh].

RE: Administrator

Well, to become an administrator, first you'll need to get more edits, broad experience on Wikipedia in what you edit, get involved in some policy making, and then run for an RFA. This page will have a lot more information on it, Wikipedia: Administrators. DarthGriz98 03:39, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Greatest Directors

FYI, your list is incomplete without Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone. Kubrick wouldn't hurt either. Hope this helps. Tparameter (talk) 01:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Leone was offered the chance to do the Godfather. He turned it down. If you like westerns at all, Leone is a good one. Peckinpah, well, he was sort of an eccentric - a bit of a loose cannon as well. He had some great movies though. For Kubrick, try to watch 2001 Space Odyssey. Anyway, I too focus a bit on directors, as I've found that it's easier to find good movies that way.

You've been loved by Redyva

Hey there! Redyva has loved you by placing a heart icon in the top-right corner of your userpage. Don't worry, it's not vandalism, but simply a small way to spread the WikiLove. If you don't really like it, feel free to revert it and make it go away, and no hard feelings; after all, it's just a small token of appreciation. If you like it, just add your name here, but again, there's no need to feel upset if you don't. Love and best wishes, Master Redyva (talk) 14:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

DRV process

Hello,

Thanks for listing the DRV, but did you forget to notify the deleting admin (in this case User:David Gerard)? It's generally considered one of the standard steps. You can use Template:DRVNote if you like, or just type up a brief note to that effect.

Thanks,

Please consider taking the AGF Challenge

I would like to invite you to consider taking part in the AGF Challenge which has been proposed for use in the RfA process [1] by User: Kim Bruning. You can answer in multiple choice format, or using essay answers, or anonymously. You can of course skip any parts of the Challenge you find objectionable or inadvisable.--Filll (talk) 21:37, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I apologize if my comments seemed harsh

I explained why on the talk page but thought it was worth dropping by your place to say the same. I've seen the other copyright law conversations there and where they go and I very much want to avoid getting caught up in a similar conversation. Not suggesting you feel otherwise but instead I'm just explaining my reasons. Cheers! Angry Christian (talk) 21:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Friday the 13th

First, no reliable source has reported that filming is underway. Second, there isn't enough information to support a separate article at the moment. All of the relevant information is already on the franchise page. Several editors have reverted the edits of another editor for doing the same thing, and he was blocked for violating the three revert rule. Please understand that the film guidelines backup the redirection of that title.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 23:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

It's not a huge deal, it just happened to happen immediately following Halloweenluver's disruption (where they reverted, against several other editors, something like 10 times, ignoring any message on their talk page). I wasn't sure if you were aware of everything, and the craziness Halloweenluver ignoring several of us was just making me annoyed, and that was why I was a little uncouthe in my attitdue (I apologize for that).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Fortean offense

I think one of the problems isn't with Charles Fort himself (who seems to stay on the sidelines) but those who promote his compilations as somehow reaching "beyond" the points for which they are intended. His jocular and humorous approach to knowledge in science provides much needed levity (ala Weekly World News) but the problem is when people misinterpret him and take him seriously. Fortean Times does just that, for example. They approach forteana as though it is serious instead of absurd. ScienceApologist (talk) 15:59, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Worldview test

You asked about this test on User talk:MastCell. He's undergoing a high-colonic and binging on Diet Mountain Dew, so he cannot be bothered. So I thought I'd help out. You can take the test here. Once you're done with the test, it spits out the results in wikicode, and you can cut and paste it to your user page. There might be one or two formatting issues, but just look at my user page, and you can see how I did it. I hope this helps. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 06:30, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Splitting off sections

Hi, I wanted to explain more fully why I had to revert your deletions at Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Even though you split the material into a new article, we can't just delete the entire section from the new article. Some of the content (the most relevant) should be kept in the current article, along with a pointer to the new article that you created. This way important info is kept in the main, while a more full explanation is available from the spin-off articles. Thanks! Doc Tropics 20:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries, you had the right idea and the spin-off is actually one I had suggested previously. Now that you've put it into place we can work on trimming more excess from the main. Thanks for understanding  : ) Doc Tropics 20:52, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, as I've noted on the talk page we have to split using the approach of WP:SUMMARY which means having the information adequately summarised in the main article. The "people presented in the film" section is tricky, as the ostensible focus of the film is these claims to have been "expelled" and Stein misrepresents each of them. A blank statement to that effect is unconvincing, and so enough detail is needed to show the claims and the documented facts. Most of them have their own articles, and Steinberg has a specific article about his "controversy", so excess detail can go in these articles rather than s sub-article, but we still need enough information on each to present an realistic overview for readers who can't be expected to go off to a sub article. .. dave souza, talk 21:09, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Movies

I admit, I've only seen a few of the ones on you page. In fact, I've only seen some of the "Films to watch" movies. Bella and Expelled were really good. If fact, those were the only two on you page I'd seen. I can't wait to see Narnia 2, and I will probably soon see Indiana Jones 4, Iron Man, Kung Fu Panda, WALL-E, Fireproof, etc. If you want to discuss further, I'm available, but I won't be on much (if any) on Sunday.

The Clash

You nominated The Clash (awesome band) for Good Article Nomination, yet the article is already a Good Article (see the article's talk page. Cheers, Kodster ^{(heLLo) (Me did that)} 20:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Didn't pay attention to the talk page. =P Apologies. Agreed it is an awesome band! Chimeric Glider (talk) 21:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Juno GA nom

Hi, I see you just nominated Juno (film) for GA status. As one of several main contributors to the article, however, I'd really appreciate it if you withdrew the nomination because quite honestly the article isn't up to scratch yet. There are numerous issues that need to be taken care of before it takes a shot at GAN such as adding inmissing references, polishing prose, rewriting lots of info and expanding some sections like the lead and critical reception - but GA is definitely a goal for the article in the future. Thanks in advance! —97198 talk 03:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, scratch that. If you feel like dropping by, join in the discussion at Talk:Juno (film)#GA nom. —97198 talk 09:20, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Awesome; thanks for helping out :P —97198 talk 07:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

My page

Hmm, I might have gotten some ideas (can't really remember, though), but I didmy page myself. It isn't hard, I just put the {{boxtop}} template to put my UBX's to the right, and all my text goes on the left. All the baseball standings and my subpages are just templates by other users. It's very simple. Cheers -- -- America ^†alk 01:51, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

So, how was Bella? Cheers -- -- America ^†alk 06:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Replied on your comment

Hi Chimeric! I saw your comment at the talk page of Dave souza, and replied on it. I thought I'd let you know. Cheers, Face 19:33, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I notified you because I thought you wanted something similiar for your own page. Cheers, Face 13:11, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Deletion review for Image:Syriana.jpg

I've restored this image, it appears a bug in the MediaWiki software was to blame for this. In the future though, please try and contact the deleting administrator, or any administrator before starting DRVs - it's just common courtesy around here. :-) east.718 at 18:15, April 27, 2008

No problem at all. :-) You just seemed to be a newer user, so I figured it'd be best to inform you of what best practices are. Happy editing! east.718 at 01:14, April 29, 2008

Urinary Incontinence

I find your rudeness astonishing.

Are you licensed to practice medicine? If not, what makes you qualified to call my cure for urinary incontinence "making fun"?

I suffered from this disease and now don't because I threw away all the medicines that had turned me into a zombie and simply stopped ingesting liquids.

If anything, you're the one making fun of this dreaded disease.

Modern medical treatment is based on the idea of prescribing drugs. Medical professionals have no incentive to simply tell the sufferer "Reduce your fluid intake 75%"

Yet the Landers Method works -- and why wouldn't it?

A bladder working 75% less can rest and repair itself.

Or perhaps you have a more effective method?

If you do, I'm sure the millions of people around the world who suffer from urinary incontinence would love to hear it. If not what possible objection could you have to letting them know about a cure that has worked for me?

AfD nomination of Japanese-style curry chicken fried rice

OK with you if I add to your AfD Spanish seafood fried rice which also had the PROD removed, and probably Italian seafood fried rices as well? May as well sort them all out together. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

You nominated to delete my article

This was unjustified as the article Makers and Takers had been alive for a mere 90 seconds before your nomination. I was editing and creating it as you made the nomination, so please rescind it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tsante (talk • contribs) 01:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

REDYVA

User:REDYVA was blocked after a using a string of abusive sockpuppet accounts and repeated violations of WP:NPA. Gwernol 19:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Rollback granted

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Wkunstler.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Wkunstler.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

The reason it is orphaned is that I replaced it with a free image of Kunstler. Thanks for uploading the fair use one, whose rationale was clearly valid, providing there was no free version. -Seidenstud (talk) 03:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

		Thank you!
		Chimeric Glider, it is with deep awareness of the responsibility conferred by your trust that I am honored to report that in part to your support, my request for adminship passed (87/14/6).

Replaceable fair use File:Robertaltman.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Robertaltman.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:37, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
