Abbyjjjj96
I have to talk to you, Doniago. It's about this new user Abbyjjjj96. I think she's spreading gossip regarding sexual assault allegations on various pages, including Sylvester Stallone, Robert Knepper and such. She's mostly editing stuff mainly involving sexual assault allegations in some pages. I don't think it's Wikipedia's job to spread gossip from tabloids and such. User:Sock and User:Tenebrae had have conversations about her edits and some of her edits were reverted for good faith. I reverted one of them on Sylvester Stallone because the source was considered at times unreliable. I thought I should mention that to you. BattleshipMan (talk) 20:35, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you're looking for from me here, or why you came specifically to me? I'm not an admin, if you were hoping for such action. DonIago (talk) 21:01, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Southern United States
Why did you revert my edit in the article about the novel The Color Purple? In the context of the cultural region, the words "South" and "Southern" are capitalized, as in the phrases "Southern United States" and "the South." See Southern United States. Referring to the "southern United States" with "Southern" in lowercase is not viewpoint neutral, and it belittles the identity of the South as a cultural region. I urge you to reconsider and revert your reversion. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 23:20, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Please review WP:AGF. It's one thing to ask why I reverted your edit, another to suggest that I set out to belittle anyone, though perhaps I'm misreading your intention by bringing that up. I wasn't personally aware that SUS could be considered a proper noun, and will have reverted by the time you read this assuming nobody's beaten me to it. DonIago (talk) 03:17, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you. I did not mean to imply that you intended to belittle anyone personally; I made the statement because my experience has been that there’s a high correlation between people who deny proper-noun (and proper-adjective) treatment of “the South” and “Southern” in the contect of the cultural and historical region encompassing the Old Confederacy plus Kentucky and Oklahoma (although some people also include certain border states within the definition as well) and those who deem the South to be a mere group of states with no common culture or history. Only the latter group could be described as failing to acknowledge the commonality of Southerners, and it was wrong for me to assume that your reason to change “Southern” to “southern” was based on lack of empathy for Southern regionalism. You are correct that, irrespective of my past experience, I should have assumed good faith on your part, and I apologize for having done so. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 10:33, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
- No worries! My concern about AGF notwithstanding, I appreciate your coming to me in such a civil manner, and glad we got this sorted out! DonIago (talk) 20:17, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Clear and Present Danger
It's YOU who knows nothing. Why can't I put it in a section when it clearly involves drug cartels? Therefore, it IS a movie about drugs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebb1993 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- As I said, the article is already in that category by virtue of being in one of its subcategories, and if you reviewed the category you're adding, you'd see that it specifically says articles should be placed in subcategories where possible.
- I see no reason for the personal attack either, so thanks for that. DonIago (talk) 21:58, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
How is it not content enough? It's a "War on Drugs" movie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebb1993 (talk • contribs) 22:07, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- I don't know what part of "it's already in that category by virtue of being in a subcategory" is unclear to you. My best recommendation is that you ask at the article's Talk page since you don't seem to understand what I'm saying. Sorry I can't make myself more clear.

General Inquiry
Just trying to figure this out: I edited a movie's plot, condensing it to below 700 words (674 vs 744), and it gets reverted to the larger version because mine is "not an improvement."
Just wanted your thoughts on this. What's the point of contributing if someone else can arbitrarily decide whether a version is not an improvement when it is more closely fits the guidelines than the previous version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SamuraiBob (talk • contribs) 18:45, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Hi there!
- Firstly, when posting on Talk pages, please consider signing your posts by adding four tildes (~) to the end of them. Thanks!
- Also, could you please link me to the article in question, and perhaps the specific edit in question? To be sure, there are ways of condensing a plot summary that wouldn't actually be an improvement, but personally I wouldn't expand a movie's plot summary over 700 words (a violation of WP:FILMPLOT) in the process unless I didn't realize I was doing so.
- Thanks! DonIago (talk) 18:51, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Whoops, sorry, forgot about the signature. Here is the page: Total Recall I gotta say, it's pretty discouraging. It's not like I just sit around looking for random pages to mess with. SamuraiBob (talk) 19:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
- Just an FYI that you linked me to the disambiguation page, not an actual article...but can check your contribution history and figure it out from there, I hope. :p DonIago (talk) 03:41, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
- I did a comparison of the plot summaries (I haven't seen the film in years), and to me this seems like it may be a case of "A vs. B" without a clear winner. Your version as it stands is shorter, but there were parts that seemed weaker compared to the original. I've started a discussion at the article's Talk page to get some color on this from the editor who reverted you. As a compromise, would you be willing to try to find a middle ground between your edits and the current version that might be less contentious while also bringing the plot within compliance? That might go over better. If you do so, be sure to say something about it on the article Talk page so that it's clear you're not attempting to edit-war. Hope this helps! Going forward my preference would be to keep further discussion over there, as then other editors watching the article can provide their opinions on the matter. Cheers! DonIago (talk) 03:50, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
I felt the same way about what you were saying (A vs. B). I tried linking the actual movie I had worked on, but it told me it wasn't the right link; the disambiguation worked so I left it. Thanks for your input. SamuraiBob (talk) 12:27, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Reply to Talk Page Comments
Thank you for leaving the thoughtful comments on my Talk Page. I am still working on writing with a neutral point of view, and your feedback is helpful. I feel that the many continuities in the Transformers franchise involve the superhero genre because the Autobots are the superheroes who battle the Decepticons who are the supervillains. (Notable examples of the many continuities in the Transformer franchise include the Generation One continuity, the Unicron Trilogy, the (2007-2009) Animated continuity TV Series, and the Aligned continuity.) I have noticed that the superhero genre has more than meets the eye. However, I realize that some people might not agree with the idea that the Transformers franchise involves the superhero genre. I will be more careful to make neutral edits in the future. UltraBee (talk) 02:08, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome. To be sure, I'm not unilaterally saying that the genre is inappropriate, but I do have concerns about it being applied in such a manner, and feel we should get the opinion of other editors on the matter. DonIago (talk) 04:05, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

Please leave any future comments on this matter at the article's Talk page. I'll see them there, so addressing me here is redundant. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 05:42, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
My apologies.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 06:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
Given that you have not made any further reply to my last response on the talk page, should I assume that you are not interested anymore one way or another.
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 11:09, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
- I must have missed it (see note at top of my Talk page). I'll take a look now. DonIago (talk) 04:39, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
In case it escaped your notice I think I should draw your attention to this link: [[1]]
ArchAngelAvenger (talk) 00:20, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
I did check that link. I hope I fixed it. Could you please have another look?
