A question

Why did you change Corazón salvaje (1956 film) from Category:Films based on novels to Category:Films based on fiction books? Isn't ...novels a child category of the ...fiction books category?--Vizcarra 07:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same question, as to Gods and Generals. Regards, Accurizer 00:06, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: Films based on fiction books vs. Films based on novels

(This has been answered on both of the user pages, but since it has been asked twice, it will have a general answer here.)

Category:Films based on novels is in the process of being cleaned out. Category:Films based on fiction books is taking its place along with the sub-categories that have been newly created. Please see Films based on books project. Lady Aleena 00:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heads up on the category naming issue

Greetings - I want to let you know that I've submitted the sub-cat Films based on Jane Austen's books for renaming. Before we go any further, I feel strongly that we need an admin's advice on this (and I hope more than one); no matter what our opinions are, I want all this work to be in line with policy (as far as possible!). I hope this does not put a damper on our working relationship. Cheers, Her Pegship 01:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New project over at Films based on books

Greetings, my lady! I put together a list of stub articles that need to be split into separate book and film articles and posted it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Films based on books/Splits. Feel free to take a crack at it. Her Pegship 13:25, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On your book/film suggestion

Greetings, my lady! As I try to keep the film & book cats & stubs on a leash, I notice that there are a nice bunch of books about film, filming, film trivia, making of films, etc., which are just going into the Category:Non-fiction books. Would that be part of your proposed sub-project? Maybe a category or two? Just a thought. And what a lovely collection of stars you're collecting! Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship♥ 05:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My lady!

Welcome back. Your baby?? I understand that completely. (I have 2 toddlers.) I've been wondering what you were up to. Eagle101 has been kind enough to work on a few lists with me, and if you ever want to pitch in feel free. I'm a bit aimless at the moment, kind of like one of those automatic vacuums that glides around the floor on its own, randomly picking up lint... Cheers! Her Pegship 04:03, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, that kind of baby. =) I hope your stress wasn't due (entirely) to my own actions. I will happily back off a bit if it means you feel like coming back to the project... Her Pegship 04:15, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Film series

Go for it!

Go ahead and create the film series article. I'll back you up. Cheers, ♥ Her Pegship♥ 15:24, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A heads up on the film series lists

User:The Tramp has been tinkering with the List of film series article, on which I know you have worked long and hard ... Are you in the process of splitting it up into separate articles for various groups? (hexologies, octologies, etc.)? I was slightly alarmed when I saw this person messing around, but want to AGF and just let you know. Meanwhile, Films based on books is always looking for a hand if you want a change. Cheers! ♥ Her Pegship♥ 02:53, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template

Hello. Try not to be too dishearted about that template. Take more notice of the more polite, constructive comments. It's incredibly frustrating when the work you do for the good of the project seems to be unappreciated. I've felt similarly pissed off in the past when my efforts have gone unrewarded. In fact, I've realised that unless you happen to be a member of particular IRC groups, your efforts will largely be unrewarded. Try to make the project work for you, and enjoy it. The JPS 21:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Hey Lady Aleena: Thanks for lwetting me know about the Poltergeist link. I will correct it ASAP.

I remember going to see Stargate, the movie. What year was it made? 1995? I remember wondering the entire movie whether the bad guy was actually a man or a woman..lol. I don't mean to poke fun at the movie, through, I respect any work that generated so many fans worldwide.

Anyways, good job about keeping the Stargate articles well done, it's a good idea.

Thanks and God bless you! Sincerely yours, Antonio Closing the gate(wink) Martin

Greetings Film Club person

Took a look at your profile... and noticed that you enjoy fantasy amoung other films.

There is a peer review for V for Vendetta (film) underway right now, would you like to join in as a reviewer? (No pressure).--P-Chan 08:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disaster movies to Category:Disaster films

I count the vote as 64% in favor with 7 for, 4 opposed. Yes, that is close. My suggestion is to wait a day or so and renominate. In the nomination address the points that led to the oppose votes as best as you can. The issues seems to be that these are commonly know as disaster movies and there does not appear to be any policy to change the appearance of film in a category to movie. Mention that this was a no consensus vote and that you would like to see if consensus can be reached. As to the participants, there is a crowd that normally hangs out in CfD. They try to keep a standard across the entire name space. Vegaswikian 05:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Those line breaks are inside a <noinclude>, though, so they shouldn't come up when transcluding the template. --Rory096 18:44, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Film/Movie Controversy

I am responding to your comment on my talk page. In general, I feel that if the word movie is used in a common, well-known phrase then that usage should override any Wikipedia convention, because I don't believe ordinary users should have to learn a convention to be able to use Wikipedia.

That said, I used Google to see which version of Disaster Movie or Disaster Film was being used most often and I found a lot of cases in newspapers where both versions are used interchangebly within the same article. Maybe that search was biased because I searched for both terms and thus was only shown pages where both were used. However, that and my own personal sense that Disaster Film is perfectly understandable, is enough for me to withdraw my opposition.

Also, I believe you mentioned earlier that redirects could be used to redirect users from the phrase that uses 'movie' to the phrase that uses 'film'. That works great for articles, but category redirects don't work in the sense that they don't automatically redirect. Instead the user is presented with the redirect page and has to manually click the link to get to the correct page. So for categories, redirects are only used when the community feels that it is necessary to block the category page with that name from being recreated (which would probably be needed in this case). --JeffW 18:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Movie vs the Proper Film naming convention

Hey Lady! :)

Yikes you're right! Thanks for bringing this to our attention now. I have a feeling that once a few categories slip into the "Movie" category, the problem will only get worse, as it will set a precendent for people to imitate. We could certainly go in and grind out these problems manually. But do you have any suggestions as to how to change these categories swiftly with a minimum of disruption and add preventative measures? Thanks again, for bringing this up. --P-Chan 02:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed the category for deletion tag. Once it's deleated will there be a bot or something that will magically move all of the film entries from the "Disaster Movies" category to the "Disaster film" category?--P-Chan 02:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An opportunity to correct past errors

Film serials

Dear lady allena

I suppose this is as good a place as any other to write this, though it only tangentially concerns Wold Newton (but, then again, what doesn't?) Her Pegship refered me to you re:List of film serials a little magnum opus I've been working on the past few weeks.

I suppose my main to questions are: What should I put on the page, and how do I get people to see it. I've made "blue Links" where ever there is already a page about the serial or charecter, and in a few cases created one where a charecter page didn't exist. I've only created one or two specifically about a serial because I only have so much time, and it would get a bit repetitive. What should I create (as in wikipages) and when should I refrain?

Secondly, and more important, how do I promote my list? I have spent so much time on it, I want people to see and use it as much as possible.

Thanks, and sorry for messing up your categories--Dudeman5685 23:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The list should be in chronological order earliest to latest, so it needs to be flipped. Not an easy task I know.

Do'ya think we can get a 'bot to do that?

  2. As you are grouping the serials by production company, there needs to be headings under each of the years for them. Also, they should not be in all caps. I could fix the all caps quickly, if you wish.

So are you saying it should look like this?:

19??

Acme productions

Or are you saying we completely re-do it like this:

Acme Productions

19$$

  3. More information may be needed, such as how many films were in each serial.

I've added that in a few cases, but it needs to be standeredized.

  4. Once we get this tidied, getting it noticed will be next. Let's tidy it up first. Sound good?

Sounds good to me! BTW, I've added serial pages for any serial that is at least in part availilbe on the web, and supplementary material on the surprisingly neglected Lone ranger, Dick Tracy and other charecter pages.

Sorry for messing up your talk page, again--Dudeman5685 16:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I worked really hard puting the production Co.s together. I would prefer if we keep theyear/company format, but I don't think we need a sublink on the contents for each company under each year. The idea is to organize the material in the easest way to understand, so if you see a film under 1936, under a Universal subheading, you get the idea immediately.--Dudeman5685 16:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorting categories of film duologies etc

Hi, I was trying to sort the lists of duologies to dodecalogies by S, under (List of film series), but since it involves your elaborate Template:Film series, I thought to ask if you agree. Hoverfish Talk 21:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I noticed that you have been away since mid September, so I went ahead and corrected the sorting in category Lists of films, leaving it as before in category Film series. Hoverfish Talk 17:11, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of film hexologies and larger series

Changing the names of film trilogies

I've started a another discussion about the naming conventions for film series: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (films)#Renaming of trilogies. Generally, I oppose them. But there's always room for discussion, which is the point of this message after all. ;) — WiseKwai 12:23, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:List of disaster films

If you think if a revert is necessary, you can revert it. However crime film is not disaster film. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 21:53, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested in the topic as usual. And I have the question also to you what made you so interested in disaster film. Do not make any changes in the article which do not make any sense. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 06:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The list looks inclusive however I think a table format would be better. The long list down the page with the wasted space on the right hand side yielding minimal information is not an ideal way to enjoy a list like this. Perhaps similar to the ones used here Adventure_films_of_the_1930s then you could group them together by large category and then add finer detail in the individual notes. Would you like help in formatting? I am very quick at massaging data. EraserGirl (talk) 16:43, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Film series

That works, too! Though at first glance, "Superman" may be assumed to link to the superhero himself, and the series article would be overlooked. Both Superman and film could be pipe linked, though it makes it sound like it's an actual genre. :) There's probably more ways to present it, but I was semi-joking when I mentioned that. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:40, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of zombie films

Hi Lady Aleena. I have brought up the current problems from List of zombie films at Wikipedia: Wikiquette alerts. I didn't mention you directly, but as you are another contributer at that article I thought it would be appropriate to let you know. Take care! SaintCyprian ^Talk 04:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Stepfather III is a film

I respectfully disagree. FWIW, the original nomination called for deletion under WP:CSD#G1, which I think is further off. Whatever the specific CSD code, I don't think that content like "It serves as a sequel to the first Stepfather movie,and sceond moviethat was released in 1987 and it co stars robert wrightman and david foster then it nearly made $200.00 " would have survived AfD. As always, you're welcome to contest this deletion at WP:DELREV. Regards, ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 10:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was no infobox, just a smattering of barely coherent sentences framed by poor formatting. I have nothing against a proper article on the subject, provided that it includes an assertion of notability and offers some context. Sadly, I don't think there's any salvageable content in the deleted revision. ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 10:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A nice day to you as well. Thanks, ˉˉ^anetode╦╩ 10:54, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
