Grue

For someone who wrote a scene of a man being turned inside out, "grue" would seem to be appropriate. See Wiktionary: grue: http://en.wiktionary.org/grue Pepso 22:44, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Style policy

Hi. About a day you ago, you dropped in on the Film Booking Offices of America article and changed the phrase "seven hundred theaters" to "700 theaters" (I've restored it). So this sort of thing doesn't happen again, with some other article, you should be aware of two things:

• The general Misplaced Pages guideline on differing style preferences: "In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that, when either of two styles is acceptable, it is inappropriate for a Misplaced Pages editor to change from one style to another unless there is some substantial reason for the change."

and

• The specifically relevant Misplaced Pages guideline: "Numbers above ten may be written out if they are expressed in two or fewer words, except in tables and infoboxes. Example: 'sixteen', 'eighty-four', 'two hundred', 'twenty million' but '3.75', '544', '21 million'."

Thanks, Dan —DCGeist 05:21, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

AdW: Astound Broadband

An article that you have been involved in editing, Astound Broadband, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Astound Broadband.

Hitchcock films

Hi, thanks for your contributions to these articles. Just a few points, though - subheadings are usually only capitalised for the first letter, per the Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (headings), i.e. "External links". Also, I'm not convinced that the external links to the Turner Classic film database are very helpful, as they give little extra information beyond which the articles already give.

Color film (motion picture)

Tjmayerinsf -

Hello. You have made some wonderful additions to the Color film (motion picture) article, but all of them are uncited. I am working to clean up this article and would appreciate if you could provide citations for any of the questionable areas (noted in the article) for the information you have provided. All the best, LACameraman 00:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I see you've been away from Misplaced Pages for a bit. I've been cleaning up Color film (motion picture) fairly considerably over the last two weeks. I ended up removing several passages you added in (mostly minor notes on smaller/secondary processes or companies) that I could not verify. If you have sources for these notes and would like to re-add them citing the various sources, please do. I hope when you return to Misplaced Pages, you have the opportunity to contribute once again to the article. All the best LACameraman 08:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

TJ - Once again, you made some wonderful contributions to this article - but I have deleted the massive addition you made on Technicolor as it is not germane to this article. This information belongs in the Technicolor article, but not in the Color film (motion picture) article. That kind of detail on one system renders an overview article unbalanced.LACameraman 23:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

References

TJ - As I've noted before, you've added some good information to articles here, but neglected to cite them. Today you added a citation, but it is inappropriately placed. The passage, which you originally added, at Color film (motion picture) reads:

"Technicolor began as a subtractive color process developed by Dr. Herbert Kalmus, Dr. Daniel Comstock, and W. Burton Wescott in 1915 (see Additive section below) when Kalmus and Comstock were at MIT. The release of The Gulf Between (1917), filmed in Jacksonville, Florida and starring Grace Darmond and Niles Welch, was marred by persistent projection problems in its national tour. Only a few frames of this film are known to exist today."

You added an IMDb link as a citation at the end of this paragraph (). Doing so means that the ENTIRE paragraph - or what is IMMEDIATELY preceding the citation is what that reference confirms. The IMDb confirms nothing about "persistent projection problems", a national tour or that only a few frames still exist. All that the IMDb can reference is that there was a movie in 1917 called The Gulf Between the location and cast. It is not necessary to utilize the IMDb as a reference for this material. The IMDb page references this film as the first Technicolor film, but unfortunately the IMDb is not considered a reliable resource for its' trivia entries.

I offer the above because, by way of your contributions, it seems that you may not be clear on how to use references. I have removed the IMDb reference and replaced the "citation needed" tag. The comments that Technicolor started as a subtractive process, was started during their time at MIT and that The Gulf Between print was marred by projection problems and only a few frames exist are the elements that need to be cited. The rest of the information is easily verifiable or otherwise cited in the article. Thanks for continuing to contribute to Misplaced Pages and to Project Filmmaking pages. All the best, LACameraman 06:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

No need to spend time piping those links

Hi. I just noticed that you've put piped category links into a few articles (Castro Theatre|Castro Theatre, Roxy Theatre|Roxy Theatre) where they aren't necessary. The piped link for (The Roxie|Roxie, The) is useful, but when the first word of the article title is the word under which the subject is supposed to be alphabetized on the category page anyway (Castro, Roxy, etc), Misplaced Pages will place it properly in the list without the addition of the pipe- so there's no point in wasting your time adding the piped sections to those links.

British dates?

Is there a reason why you changed all the dates in John Stossel to the British system? Stossel is an American journalist, and when you actually click on the links for the dates the articles use the American system. --JHP 10:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually you can set your prefered date system in your preferences. ], ] will then be displayed as 1 January 2000. --32X 19:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Recent Color Film edits

Hi, Tjmayerinsf!

You might have noticed that User:LACameraman reverted some of your recent edits to Color film (motion picture), and I thought maybe I should try to explain why. The IMDB is unfortunately not considered an authoritative source. First and foremost, it is often wrong. Secondly, it doesn't cite sources so it's very hard to follow the trail past it.

Also, please don't forget to provide an edit summary, it makes it a lot easier for other people to understand your edits, especially when there are multiple ones. Thanks again! jhawkinson 13:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

William March

Thank you for your recent edits to the William March page. They did not go unnoticed and have helped in the general look and appeal of the article.

Cheers!

James Dean reference in The Spirit of St. Louis (film)

Hi TJ, I am curious where you found the reference to James Dean being considered for the role of Charles Lindbergh in the Spirit of St. Louis film biography. I read and reread biographies of James Stewart and could find only a reference to studio head Jack Warner offering the part to John Kerr in 1954 who turned it down. A well-known incident involving Stewart and his father making a plea to producer Leland Hayward for "Jimmy" Stewart to play Lindbergh also occurred in 1954. Stewart went on a prolonged diet to better fit the gaunt look of a younger man. Before he found out that he got the part, he had dropped so much weight that he looked ill. The role was cast late in 1954 with production shooting begun in August 1955. At that point, James Dean had just come to Hollywood to make his first film. FWIW Bzuk 02:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC).

Regarding edits to Mila Kunis

Thank you for contributing to Misplaced Pages, Tjmayerinsf! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Misplaced Pages. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule stuffmagazine\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Misplaced Pages. Please read Misplaced Pages's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Blue links

Hello. You blue-linked the name Richard Quine in the "1942 film" section of My Sister Eileen. I intentionally had not blue-linked there it because it is blue-linked in the "1940 play" section that immediately precedes it. (The name appears again in the "1955 film" section, but for some reason you didn't blue-link it there.) It's my understanding that a name or word should be blue-linked only once per article. Am I wrong? Thank you. ConoscoTutto 16:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dominic Angerame, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.cinemod.net/about.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 02:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Weber's last waltz

I think in an article on Reissiger in Dwight's Journal (scanned in in Google Books) Reissiger is quoted (pardon grammar... pardon me about grammar... something :) ) - on the subject of the origins of the title "Weber's Last Waltz" - that he'd sent the waltz to Weber and it was much liked by him, found among his effects and mistakenly assumed to be his (CM v Weber's, that is)- or to that effect. I'll have to look up the details and cite; I found the tale interesting... Schissel | Sound the Note! 02:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Follow the Boys (1963 film)

A tag has been placed on Follow the Boys (1963 film) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Three Stooges

Hi - not quite sure why you added the year of the film to all the Three Stooges entries, as Misplaced Pages policy is not to add the film year next to the film title if the title is linked to the main page or if you are already on the main page. I have undo all of the edits. Please check wikipedia policy first before doing massive edits of this nature.

Also, not sure why you relisted the name the Three Stooges as The Three Stooges, as it was properly linked first time around. These edits have been undone as well. You will see when you click on the latter entry, it has to redirect to the Three Stooges page.

Proposed deletion of Beatific Vision (2008 film)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Beatific Vision (2008 film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Mitchell Leisen DVD box set mention at Midnight (1939 film)

In listing the set on the Midnight, apparently you misread the New York Times review, which mentioned separate DVD releases of Midnight and Easy Living but not a boxed set.

A tag has been placed on Tulip Time: The Rise and Fall of the Trio Lescano, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion.

Speedy deletion of Beatific Vision (2008 film)

A tag has been placed on Beatific Vision (2008 film) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stephen Walsh (money manager), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Per BLP1E, not notable.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Anthrax War

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Anthrax War, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://infowars-shop.stores.yahoo.net/anthraxwardvd.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I appreciate that you made some efforts to paraphrase the text on Anthrax War so it would no longer be a copyright infringement. Unfortunately, adding synonyms and minor alterations in the sentences won't relieve the plagiarism issue. As it is currently written, the text will need to be deleted as a copyright violation. You are welcome to rewrite the text using original language. The page on WP:Close paraphrasing can provide you with some explanations and help. In the long run, it is always better to simply write the text from scratch using your own words. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Regards. Theleftorium 22:30, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
