in re 'No Country for Old Men'

Hi. Please use summaries for each edit. I also think it would be better if you submitted your changes in small increments so each can be reviewed more easily. Thanks. El duderino (talk) 08:46, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, "very few" it is. Let's see how it feels. --Ring Cinema (talk) 14:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
While I have your attention, I thought I would mention that I have some questions about the attention you have given to the thematic sections. Of course, it's "95% positive" to bring this material to the fore that makes explicit so many interesting aspects of and responses to the film. However, I feel that out of a sense of proportion there might need to be some selection made in the future. How do you feel about that? You are clearly drawing on many sources and so have the best view of the iceberg, so to say. Do you think when the time comes that this section would benefit from more concision or that it would be a distortion? Have you contemplated that? --Ring Cinema (talk) 14:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Star, please join the discussion on the talk page. Earlier I suggested using edit summaries for your content additions but I did not mean to use them in place of talkpage conversation, especially when there is a content dispute. I appreciate your latest attempt at compromise [1] but I think that approach has a few problems, mainly that it gives too much prominence to the aggregate site (RT) up front. We should be able to reach a compromise on the wording. Thanks. El duderino (talk) 21:01, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This guideline suggests that a section simply for the purpose of covering the differences between a novel and film is discouraged. We should give some thought to how we are handling this. --Ring Cinema (talk) 17:07, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder why ... I thought it makes the article stronger ... shall we take it to discussion ... or shall we delete (in which case I prefer to delete it) --Star of Amman (talk) 19:47, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I find it interesting how the Coens changed it. Maybe the reasoning is that it is not about the film. But it's not expressly about the novel either! Of course, this type of thing can devolve into tedious minutiae. Shall we leave it for now and await developments? --Ring Cinema (talk) 21:16, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would leave it for now and wait for complaints ... just like you said: This is an interesting and classic/unique example in adaptation (got them the Oscar) ... at least and if complaints rise, I may suggest then to move the quoted articles to "Further Reading". The subject matter is too interesting to be deleted ... If deleted, I would be going back to the archives and reading about it! --Star of Amman (talk) 03:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Themes and analysis of No Country for Old Men (film), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ben Johnson and Enigma (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

I'm not the editor who inserted these. It was another editor. I'm ready to assist if there is anything else ~Star of Amman 22:22, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Just to "break the ice"

[edit]
Hello,

We have not 'talked ' before, although I have followed your excellent work on "No Country ... " pretty well since you began revising the article. For my part, I have only made a dozen or so edits there, but I think the film is splendid.

I am interested to know what happened following your edit summary here. Did you or another editor remove the section? . Sincerely -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 09:41, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the compliment. I am sad that lots of people are not happy with the length of the article, when articles for Michael Jackson and 2001:A Space Odyssey, for example, are much longer and the first is a featured article.

To answer your question, the text was deleted by TheOldJacobite on 13:28, 22 June 2012. --~Star of Amman 13:45, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I join you in that sentiment. I am also sad that you appear to have walked away from the article. Perhaps that is not so. You have so much to offer. Was the deletion discussed with you beforehand?
Sincerely -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 18:02, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was sad that the length of the article made headlines at cracked.com and some of the page supporters were kind of ashamed of its length. So now I'm simply giving space to them to edit. Afterall, maybe this is what Wiki is all about.
No, unfortunately, the deletion was not discussed with me.
Nice to talk to you, ~Star of Amman 19:57, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
Likewise. I think you are correct – walk away for a while, let the dust settle, and return with caution. I have done that, and with success. Most of them love jumping on a bandwagon. -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (talk) 20:05, 28 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am notifying you because I am supposed to notify the editor who added the copyrighted information. I took a guess that you were the one based on edit history, where you appear to be the most prolific editor on this article when it was still just a section of the film's main article.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
