    The Kingsman

    A friendly warning that you have reached your 3 revert limit for The Kingsman article. Please maintain the discussion on the talk page instead of continuing the edit war. If the consensus is to add the gag, then it can be added back to the article. It won't hurt the page with it gone for the time being, but if the consensus is to keep then please respect that as well.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:09, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

    Thanks for the note – I'd realised that I'd got that far and had no plans for further reverts anyway. I will, of course, respect any consensus, as I always do. Cheers. – SchroCat (talk) 19:11, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

    Olivier

    I've just spotted the barnstar on my page and shortly afterwards clocked the reason for it. Well done to both of us, I say, for getting LO to Featured Article. It has been a huge pleasure working with you on it (and occasionally moaning at you about the difficulty of the task). I reread the article with a reasonably fresh eye yesterday, and I really believe one can't see the joins between the bits each of us wrote. Well played, partner! Tim riley talk 23:21, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

    Congratulations to both of you for a job well done on Olivier, and to you SchroCat for Casino Royale. It's a real pleasure reading well-written articles. Bede735 (talk) 00:05, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
    Many thanks Bede!
    The Follow that! gold medal and bar  
    For getting Laurence Olivier and Casino Royale to Featured Article and having John Barrymore on the front page all within twenty-four hours you qualify with flying colours for this award. – Tim riley talk 07:53, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    You are very kind – it's a bit of a fluke having it happen with a few hours of JB hitting the front page (and the day after the Betjeman list was on the front page too!), but a very pleasant one! – SchroCat (talk) 09:39, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    I don't know what this is? Lol  — ₳aron 11:11, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    Hi Aaron, Hopefully it'll be the blurb that is used for S&M to go on the front page, probably on 7 March, if all goes smoothly! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 11:16, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
    Ah okay cool!

    An award for you!

    The Actors and Filmmakers Award of Excellence
    For your work in promoting one of the goliaths of the acting world, Sir Laurence Olivier to Featured Article status. A mighty achievement to be proud of! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:43, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    A hearty congrats too on promoting CR!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:44, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    Courtesy notice

    Hi SchroCat. This is a courtesy notice that you have been mentioned at ANI: Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User SchroCat is vandalizing my talk page. Best, -- Diannaa (talk) 23:14, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    Thank you Diannaa. I seem to remember that falsely accusing people of vandalism is a personal attack, so perhaps this user would be better off not crying wolf, but learning how to write, source, reference and link properly instead? Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 23:17, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

    RE:

    It is a sequel. Ralph Fiennes has taken over as M, as seen at the end of Skyfall. Plus Jesper Christensen is returning as Mr. White. I have called it a follow-up for your convenience.--Valkyrie Red (talk) 01:19, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

    • It could be worse – mine coincides with the start of the Second Word War, and was on the same day Gaddafi came to power: neither of them my fault, I'm glad to say! – SchroCat (talk) 11:12, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

    Tim Page (presumably)

    Hi. Why do you let somebody who is an obsessive fan of Jackie Evancho and who has publicly called me 'a thoughtless, nasty fellow' serve as the last word on my biography? This seems unfair to me. The person who wrote the previous edit before SSilvers seemed balanced and noted that I had spoken warmly of a lot of other young artists, naming several of them. This SSilvers has been trying to sum up my whole career by one article for the past two years, and it just isn't the truth. I've published many thousands of articles and championed a lot of young artists. Please read both entries dispassionately and I think you will agree. I was shocked to come upon this today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 18:31, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    I neither know nor care exactly who was the last editor of any article, but for articles about living people I care deeply about whether that article is in line with our WP:BLP policy. If there is unsourced information in an article about a living person, it should be removed without consideration, unless a citation from reliable independent secondary source can be found to support it? I will happily keep reverting the attempts to insert unsupported information that violates the BLP policy and apply to have the article locked to stop the IP editors involved from breaching that policy. I hope I've made my position entirey clear. – SchroCat (talk) 18:40, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
    Actually, you haven't made anything clear. Do you really need me to put together all the pieces that I've written about young artists, praising them highly? If so, I'll send you the links. It is vastly irritating that a person who has slimed me unmercifully since I published one controversial article is permitted to say the last word on a career of 35 years in an entry that takes up a disproportionate amount of what is meant to be a straightforward biography. Again, I said what I said, and I'm OK with that. But pretending that this is the whole story is simply calumny and bitchiness, which is not what is supposed to take place on Misplaced Pages.

    Hundreds of others upon request.
    PS -- Are you as much of a fan of "A Serious Man" as I am?
    OK, I'll try and make this even more clear:
    1. Read WP:BLP
    2. Take on board that any statement that is not supported by a citation from a reliable source should be removed.
    3. Look at the information I removed: ask yourself whether it has a citation or not
    4. Repeat stage 2
    If there is information that needs to be added to the article, do so, but only with a citation from a reliable source. I hope that is a little clearer now. - SchroCat (talk) 19:05, 19 February 2015 (UTC)


    That's a little better, I suppose. I'll put all those stories up. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 19:08, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    All set -- but it will need some technical work from your end to put the sources in Misplaced Pages style. Thanks much for the help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 19:43, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    I suggest you ask at the help desk to format it properly: it cannot be left in this state at all, I'm afraid. – SchroCat (talk) 19:46, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    Pretty sure I gave you all you need. Thanks again. Kind of cool to know how this is done!

    One thing: if I see you refer to the WP:AGF edits of any editor as vandalism as you did with this edit summary, I will file a report at WP:ANI. I do not care if you don't like or agree with the previous edits, but there was no vandalism. Accusing an editor of vandalism when there is none is a personal attack, which can lead to censure or being blocked. I strongly advise that you do not insult others in this way again. - SchroCat (talk) 20:50, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    I'm sorry -- I didn't mean to be offensive. But please take a look at what was done to the article about me by SSilvers last year, somebody who is ON RECORD as calling me "a thoughtless, nasty fellow". Are these the people you let misrepresent somebody's body of work, on account of a single article? In journalism, we recuse ourselves if we have to evaluate somebody whom we despise, particularly if we are on record as having insulted them. And I've been attacked before in a manner similar to this (not, I don't believe, by SS). You may know this already, but a rather distinguished public servant was once claimed to have been a party to both Kennedy assassinations on Misplaced Pages (!!!) although I agree with my colleague and friend Andrew Lih that the site has come a long way since then. In any event, bygones are bygones -- and thanks for teaching me how to use Misplaced Pages. It's been rather fascinating! Cheers and best wishes -- TP — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 22:00, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    I also just now attempted to remove my comment about vandalism but I don't know enough about how to use the site to accomplish this. Feel free to do it yourself if you'd like -- my computer skills are not very good! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 22:08, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

    Your turn this time, buddy! Somebody has come along and mangled the thing, even ignoring "Day With Timmy Page." Now you can see why I was a little unhappy. Somebody will write a complete and thorough entry in the next few days -- in the meantime, please get rid of this nonsense. Cheers -- TP — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 01:32, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

    I will have a scholar write a long entry in the next few days. In the meantime, check out this insanity. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Tim_Page_%28music_critic%29&diff=647954959&oldid=647954201 Again, as always, trying to stay out of this myself, but somebody must protect those who cannot defend themselves. Fix this and we're cool. Cheers -- Tim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 01:36, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

    Here is the reference to "Day With Timmy Page." https://www.fandor.com/films/a_day_with_filmmaker_timmy_page Forgive me if I seem intense on this stuff, but I'm annoyed that my life is being slimed by a few people. As I stated above ==You may know this already, but a rather distinguished public servant was once claimed to have been a party to both Kennedy assassinations on Misplaced Pages (!!!) although I agree with my colleague and friend Andrew Lih that the site has come a long way since then." Um, well, I guess you DON'T, so I have to stand up. Let me know. No copies to anybody at present! Tim — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitegap (talkcontribs) 01:44, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

    There has been no mangling that I can see: some of the formatting has been fixed, and the unsupported statements have been identified as such. There is nothing for me to do, even if I had the time to do it. - SchroCat (talk) 10:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

    The Signpost: 18 February 2015

    Same to you

    You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Great Stink. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

    Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

    1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
    2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

    In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

    I'm the one adding new material, and corrections of grammar / spelling / syntax / lexis/ fact / style; you're the one automatically blindly reverting.
