Misplaced Pages

Welcome!

WARNER one, you are invited to the Teahouse

June 2014

Hello, I'm McGeddon. Your recent edit to the page Hot Fuzz appears to have added incorrect information, so I have removed it for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 17:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

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

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
And logging out or not logging in to edit does still count Murry1975 (talk) 16:51, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. Misplaced Pages's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of more than one account or IP address by one person. If this was not your intention, then please always remember to log in when editing. Thank you. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:38, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Syncopy films

You're claiming their website has a list of films. As best as I know, the studio has no readily available web presence. This site which looks official and include Memento on the list is actually a fan blog per (and I can't see any profession studio using tumlbr as their post). The only other page is a facebook page which points to which has no film listing and itself only points back to facebook. --MASEM (t) 13:48, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Also note that the BFI site, while reliable, automatically sorts production country by alphabetical order (Great Britian will always be before US), eg it classifies the Muppet Movie which is clearly US-UK the other way around. . So it can't be used for ascribing the order of country of film production. --MASEM (t) 15:57, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you have been making country-related changes in film articles. Please be aware that such changes can be contentious and that you are not the first editor to embark on a series of such edits. It can be a gray area, and reliable sources can contradict on the matter. I strongly recommend that you make more substantial edits to film articles, as they are more likely to stand the test of time. Thanks, Erik (talk | contrib) 19:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Reverting other editors

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Alien (film). Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. 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, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 17:32, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I think the Alien (film) issue is resolved for now, no? Apologies for my part in that. We should have moved that to the Talk page. HullIntegrity (talk) 03:22, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

LIFE OF PI

The vast majority of sources only identifies the United States, and none of the other countries are mentioned. According to the Template:Infobox film, it explicitly states: " If there is a conflict of information in various reliable sources, then list only the common published nations." Can you argue the other four countries are published in many sources (common published)?--Taderuer (talk) 21:33, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:52, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

USA to United States

I have came across a couple of your eddits that do this, and you are 100% correct. The link for this guideline is WP:NOTUSA.

"Do not use U.S.A. or USA, except in a quotation or as part of a proper name (Team USA), as these abbreviations are also used for United States Army and other names. USA is correct, though, where the country's ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code is required."

So in most instances what you have done is the right way following guidelines. Murry1975 (talk) 16:19, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

The Bridge on the River Kwai & edit warring

1. Please read WP:BRD: if one of your Bold edits is Reverted, you need to Discuss, not edit war to your preferred version. 2. The Bridge on the River Kwai was a joint production between the US and UK. Most of the reliable sources say so, and I've made this more clear with a citation from the BFI, possibly the most reliable of sources when it comes down to films. - SchroCat (talk) 15:44, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

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 Misplaced Pages 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.
