Hallo DoFGEORGE, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've just come across this article while stub-sorting,and tidied it up a bit.

One point in particular: we don't use "currently" in Wikipedia articles, as it by definition becomes out of date. You could either just write something like "As of October 2014", or more sophisticatedly use the template {{As of|October 2014}} which has the extra benefit of putting it into Category:Articles containing potentially dated statements from October 2014 so that, in theory at least, someone in the future can check it and update it. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. PamD 11:44, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Please look to declare conflict of interests, and maybe consider following the guidance contained. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:58, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Filmnerd123. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Filmnerd123. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Filmnerd123|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Praxidicae (talk) 18:19, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not receiving nor have I ever received any compensation for any edit I have ever made on Wikipedia. Sounds like a lucrative business though - allow me to look into that! Joking aside, I am unabashedly simply a rather niche film nerd. I accept that some of my edits may be WP:TOOSOON however. Still haven't fully got the hang of everything.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Project Dorothy has been accepted

Project Dorothy, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
