Hello, I'm ThaddeusSholto. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Superman (2025 film), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Superman (2025 film) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Superman (2025 film). Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Trailblazer101 (talk) 15:22, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Superman (2025 film)

Although you seem to want to avoid actually engaging with other editors, there is a section of the article talk page which illustrates why your edits are in error. Please use that for discussion and stop edit warring. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing me in the direction of this feature. I am just getting used to how these discussions should be handled.

I began a Talk in Trailblazer’s comments, but I’d like your input as well since having accurate information publicly visible is what I want most.

Essentially, the reason this is mucky is purely because of the title of the film. Having two films with the same exact title (with the same titular characters) adds confusion to the terminology of remake/reboot/reimagining.

All remakes ARE reboots, but not all reboots are remakes. Had the title stayed ‘Superman: Legacy,’ this would be an easy reboot classification. However, since there is already an existing movie called ‘Superman,’ this makes it more than a simple reboot. A remake can either be shot-for-shot or differ greatly. However, since this is not an update of ‘Superman (1978)’ the term ‘reimagining’ takes precendence. A reimagining is essentially a remake that is far removed from the original but shares a title.

if there is anything else you would like to provide, I would appreciate the read. Thanks and have a great day. SupermanHistorian (talk) 15:53, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having the same title is not a valid argument for evidence of it being a "remake". Your argument would make Batman (1989 film) a remake of Batman (1966 film) which is ridiculous on its face. You need reliable sources that explicitly call the film a remake. On the article talk page I provided numerous RS which explicitly call the film a reboot. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 15:56, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, Tim Burton refers to his ‘Batman’ as a reimagining (albeit not a direct “reimagining of Batman 1966”). This would still classify it as a reimagining would it not? SupermanHistorian (talk) 16:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it isn't a direct reimagining of the 1966 film then you cannot claim it is a reimagining of the 1966 film. Please read again what I wrote about reliable sources and read WP:OR and WP:SYNTH as well. You are crafting arguments to support a view you already hold instead of looking at what the sources directly claim. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 16:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

March 2024

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 36 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Superman (2025 film). 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 review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 15:51, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Trailblazer101 (talk) 20:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
