User talk:Keith Paynter

Hi, Keith Paynter, Welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you like this place — I sure do — and want to stay. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the Five pillars of Wikipedia and simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will be by to help you shortly.

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too. Five will get you the datestamp only.
You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing. —Kf4bdy ^talk ^contribs

Unique Phantom of the Opera footage

Hello, saw your contribution on The Phantom of the Opera (1925 film) page. Very interesting piece that you have there. After reading the continuity, there's no mention of color, so I doubt the entire scene was in color (anything is possible though), although there are several possibilities:

It is from a general release 1925 print and the entire scene is in color.
It is from a general release 1925 print in which all of the narritive titles are in color (possibility-- I've seen this done before).
It is from a 1929 print where all of the narritive titles have been replaced with decorative ones. The Technicolor sequence as we know it today actually comes from the reissue in 1929, although it had never been spliced into a print. Possibly all of the titles for the reissue were reformatted in this way?

Is it possible to get a copy of this footage? I'd love to see it. -The Photoplayer 05:39, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Titlecards.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Titlecards.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 02:16, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Phantomunmasking.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Phantomunmasking.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blazing Saddles

Hi! Just curious, what does that mean, to "sue high?" MFNickster (talk) 00:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you made this edit again. What does "sue high" mean? MFNickster (talk) 04:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Pretty clearly a misunderstanding of Brooks' Brooklyn accent. Thousands of sources correctly and logically say "sue her"; there are no sources at all for the phrase "sue high" being used in any way related to this. "What you think it sounds like" is not a reliable source. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 15:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yep, I figured that, but I wanted to hear what his rationale was anyway. MFNickster (talk) 14:59, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Trading Places, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Richard Hunt. 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.
