Campaign to describe films as "British"

It is apparent that you (previously as 2405:204:92A1:EB9F:782D:FACB:8DB8:A07B (talk · contribs)) are undertaking a campaign to describe as many films as you can as "British" and I am concerned that you are doing so without reference to - or in complete disregard of - any sources. In this change, you are clearly disregarding the cited reference to the BFI website, where the countries are given as "United Kingdom, Japan, USA". Given the highly multi-national nature of modern film production, describing a film as in some way being connected to any one particular country is going to be a fairly high bar to meet. In other of your edits, you have managed to break the formatting of the page by adding in code that breaks it. Because you are not using edit summaries, it is sometimes impossible to work out what you are trying to do. I suggest you stop and re-consider your editing, and in the future only edit articles to change content where there are sources supporting the change you are proposing to make - or you may not be able to continue editing Wikipedia at all. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 11:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at The Theory of Everything (2014 film). ninety:one (reply on my talk) 14:26, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reported at WP:AN3 for edit warring about the nationality of films

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 72 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Per a complaint at the edit warring noticeboard. You have been reverting to describe The Theory of Everything (2014 film) as 'British'. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:57, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality of films

I am disappointed, but not surprised, that you have returned to inserting inappropriate nationalities into the leads of articles about films: here, here and here. If you carry on as you did before you were last blocked, you will just end up blocked again, or banned from Wikipedia forever - this is not sensible. There are two problems with your edits, which you need to understand:

You cannot just add content to Wikipedia because you believe it to be true - you need to cite a reliable source that says that it's true. In the case of the nationality of a film, the best source for this is looking as though it's the BFI website, which explicitly lists the nationalit(ies). IMDB is not a reliable source. I have added BFI references to many of the article you edit: if you disagree with them then you need to start a new discussion on the talk page of each article explaining why - you cannot just ignore them.
If there is more than one such nationality, which often there is, we do not include the nationalities (least of all just one of them, as you have done) in the first sentence: instead, we refer to them further on in the lead or elsewhere in the article. Please read WP:FILMLEAD which explains this in detail.

If you wish to continue editing here then it is vital that you read and understand the points above. I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have about them or editing generally. If you return to your previous pattern of disruptive editing then you will be blocked again, or worse. ninety:one (reply on my talk) 10:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
