Pathala Bhairavi
Hello Doctor! I will always be thankful to you for reviewing Mayabazar which has considerably changed content-wise after its GAR.

Krimuk90
Please Dr. You have to helpregarding this user. This user has threaten me that he is planning to get me blocked with the help of hisadministrator friends. He is manipulating Chopra's article for showingshe is nothing as compared to Her favorites Ranaut and Padukone. When I told himthat I will make it clear how much he is wrong, he threatened me with block warning. Please helpme.—Prashant 03:29, 7 June 2015 (UTC) You have to look at |this. First he changed the referrnce and added in Summary that the source says a different thing. This user is manipulating so much. Also, you were the one who added this. As you said it was not neccessary to say this was hit and this was flop. But, this user is doing so much worse. He does not use same thing for his articles in Ranaut and Balan and Padukone. Please help.—Prashant 05:20, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Krimuk in my experience is mature enough to make decent editorial decisions. I haven't looked into what he has changed, but I doubt he'd falsely add content or manipulate the content in an article. I'd rather stay out of it, sorry.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:41, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- So, where I should go? Tell me. He always starts a new problem for me. I feel you even care about me. I suppose you were my friend. You should have helped me. —Prashant 08:34, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- You know, I have started feeling that my edits are bad and Krimuk's is good. It just seems only, by getting reverted all the time without proper reasions. That quote was added after alot of discusssion as she received mixed reviews for that. If someone received a mixed review we have to add both things and not only negative.—Prashant 10:53, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- Why do you have to keep being a childish asshole all of the time? You take everything personally. The wordpress source doesn't look a mainstream authoritative source and the quote doesn't really add anything of value. Krimuk is a very good editor and he might have a point about some of the quotes, that doesn't mean I devalue anything you have to say. Grow up.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:56, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
- OKya, Now you gave a reason that ite source was not reliable. Yes, Krimuk90 is a good editor, who is good at manipulating. LOOK this at Kangana Ranaut's article. The two of her films which bombed miserabley and was panned by critics are discussed though this "Ranaut followed Queen by playing an aggressive politician in the the black comedy Revolver Rani and a medical intern in the political drama Ungli (both 2014)." Is it NPOV?, which he is accusing me of by reverting things. I am just neutral. See it yourself.—Prashant 11:07, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

BTW, I'm not doing any major editing on any article right now (just countering vandalism and helping Pavan with Mayabazar's PR mostly apart from the list). I created Panama Pasama recently though as I liked the film as it was a jolly outing and it had beautiful songs. Do let me know if you have watched any of my films on my list that you haven't watched yet. — Ssven2 08:35, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Dunno about Template:Fair trade, the only other one in Category:Coffee and tea navigational boxes. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:22, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
I would, but a lot of people are anal about coloured nav plates. Before long it would be back to the boring generic blue! In some cases, like colleges they're a bit annoying but a nice subtle brown for coffee articles I like.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:28, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, I know about those folks. Lol! But I think a brown color-convention for coffee nav templates makes unifying sense, just as the tea nav one is green, and Coca cola is red. --Rosiestep (talk) 19:35, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Re: La Caravelle
We can try. The only down side is that this wasn't the type of place that generated publicity (celebrity photos at the restaurant, etc.) material. Where Billingsley had a house photographer, went out of his way to get the press in the door and printed postcards and the like, I have yet to find a photo of the restaurant's interior--original decor or re-done--that isn't on the couple's website. You can find photos from Toots Shor's and El Morocco because they wanted publicity the same as Sherm did for the Stork. Maybe they would release some photos via OTRS if they were contacted, since the restaurant has been gone foe a while now. BTW-I have more Stork Club photos to upload when I get a minute (and I've had to resort to archiving some of my backlog). Life magazine forgot to renew the copyrights on all of its 1944 issues and some of its 1945 ones-the issue with the article & photos of the Stork Club is one in the 1944 lot.

Maasella edwardsi
I have done some more work on Maasella edwardsi. For some peculiar reason, the Ozalp & Ateş article was fully available to me earlier in the day but now I can only get the abstract. Anyway, I had read the whole article and it was apparent that this coral does not grow on sand but on rocks, often those overgrown with coralline algae, so I had to remove part of what you wrote. I will be working through the list of corals at my leisure. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:39, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

M/c Guardian
Saw your ping. I've been thinking about it and doing some research, as well as talking to a few people. The Guardian contains a potted history anyway and the gist seems to be that simply renaming and moving a newspaper doesn't justify a separate article: its outlook etc remained the same, it remained under the Scott Trust etc. So, I'm a bit torn here: it might be better to try expanding the history in the existing article and then wait for someone to say "hey, this is getting a bit big - fork it". - Sitush (talk) 10:25, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
I think the main The Guardian article ought to have a summary of Manchester period and then a main article link to one in more detail. Given how many articles cite The Manchester Guardian I think it's a pretty important article which should quite rightly have its own article on here.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:30, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Potential film issue
As you already know, I've been working on the Thanhouser films - though it seems that someone thinks they don't meet N. To make them FA - films would need appropriate context and that is somewhat difficult to do with more than century having past. I've gotten new sources and new materials, but with each work found and discovered it becomes clear that Thanhouser is very unique and very special. At peak produced 25% of the Independent films, those outside the Edison Trust - Universal later forming and rising to exceed. However quantity was not a problem because Thanhouser films helped define and found the techniques of the industry, even bring political and social issues to light. Narrative structure and the quality of the productions far exceeded the other studios - namely The Star of Bethlehem (film). Ugh - I don't want to feel like USROADs, but considering the information and details which exist it seems going about it from specific to broad is not someone's cup of tea. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:08, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
A lot of them won't be potential FA material of course because the info may be very sketchy so not read like an FA, but I reckon there's a few of them with more content and quality of info which could be brought up to FA. There's absolutely no question about notability though, Thanhouser and Edison Studios were the studios at least in my mind for that late 1900s - early 1910s period, and I think you've done very well to find what you have on all of them. Whoever thinks they're not notable is clueless about the history of film. Which ones do you consider your best articles to date? One of my favourites is A Dog's Love which I also started, that's a real gem, I'm not sure there would be enough to get it to FA level though! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well, new material has come out and there was some more information on even A Dog's Love which went into how the film was unique for the special effects with the double exposure. Its not as if the information is going to remain static - though many films are lost, much information is still being found and archived. A lot of the Falstaff ones will not get their own pages and numerous ones will be combined, but I the most interesting one will probably be The Cry of the Children. Just need to get to it.

Official historical monuments

@Ser Amantio di Nicolao: You're probably right on Dordogne. You know what, I'd be more comfortable with the formal "Monument historique" in xxx. What about you? Category:Official historical monuments of France in Bas-Rhin IMO should be Category:Monument historique in Bas-Rhin. We use Bien de Cultural in xx for Spain too.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:38, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- I have no problem with it - monument historique is the title we use on the main article. Double-check the French, though - I believe it should be Category:Monuments historiques in Bas-Rhin. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 15:43, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure, I don't think we're referring to it as a plural, we're referring to it as a title of a listed monument. Bien de Interes Cultural in xx isn't the plural either. Perhaps Category:Monument historique sites in Bas-Rhin would make more sense?.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:47, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Well, no, because monument historique is a singular noun and not an adjective. (I can't comment on the Spanish as I don't know the language.) It would sound peculiar to me as an adjective. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 15:51, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yes I agree, I think it should be OK then as Monuments historiques in xxx. For some reason it didn't seem right initially, I was thinking along the lines of National Heritage sites. I'll propose a change at CFD.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:00, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Château/castle
Sorry, I've just rather brutally reverted or partially reverted some of your edits. You added the to some articles about castles. In English (and this is, of course, English Misplaced Pages) "château" is used to refer to French examples of what in English would be called palaces or mansions or stately homes. The French are less fussy, having a smaller vocabulary. They use "château" in that sense, but also for castles, vineyards and even water towers ("château d'eau"). It causes a lot of confusion, even for the French. (Direction signs can be quite interesting! You can never be sure what you will find if you follow a sign to "Château de XXXX". An English friend of mine was bemused to find himself staring at a water tower when he expected s medieval defensive structure!) In English, "castle" is for the military building. This has caused considerable confusion here before,, hence the page List of castles in France and the categories for castles in each French region, e.g. .
There are, of course, some structures that are both castle (as originally built) and château (after later modification): Château d'Amboise is a classic example. Emeraude (talk) 06:31, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Emeraude You're preaching to an experienced editor with chateaux who knows fully well this, I've known this since about 2007. Why do you think I created all of the chateaux categories separate from "castles". I don't see where I've called something a castle. All I did was stub sort, and copied the existing Template:France-castle-stub which includes both castles and chateaux in one for convenience in stub sorting. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
- Apologies. I didn't mean to preach - I was up very early - and I do fully acknowledge your experience in this field.Emeraude (talk) 07:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Ah I see what happened, I categorized some of the castles with titles Chateau de with Chateaux without looking at the articles and realizing they were castles. Sorry about that. I still think then you should create Category:Castles in Haut-Rhin rather than clog up the main department category.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:12, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
You may be right, but it took some time to create categories for castles in regions! (These categories had been deleted some years ago in a rather silly discussion.) The reason for using the département category is really just to make a categorical link with the département. If an article fits into some sub-category (e.g. Structures in Haut-Rhin) it's not necessary. The good work you are doing on categories ought to mean that this happens. Emeraude (talk) 07:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
It's part of the stub sorting proposal in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. We ought to have struct-stub templates by department and at least 60 articles on chateaux, castles, churches, museums and theatres etc for each. Any help creating them and ordering them would be most welcome it'll take a long time to go through them myself!♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:01, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
