Hi Curly Turkey, I noticed 4 or 5 days ago that you opened a review page for an article that I had nominated (]), however, in the days since, I have heard nothing from you regarding the review or the article.

::The point I have been getting at is that I generally expect a degree of communication during these things, regardless of the content, or lack thereof, of the article in question. Can't say I've seen that here. Heck, you've have talked to Retrohead more about the article when he wasn't the one who nominated it! (No disrespect meant to you Retro).

::: ]: Sorry about that. After your initial comments, I assumed you'd notify me when you got everything sourced, or at least after you'd dealt with those "Will look into"s—especially given that's exactly what I said in the opening to the review. Given how much hadn't been sourced, I assumed there'd be major enough changes to the content that I thought it would be best to wait until that was done before finishing the review. I contacted Retrohead because (a) he contacted me first and (b) I knew he had access to sources since he'd done the Megadeth FA.

I also don't recall any specific time in the past he's told me to stay off his talk page; he's blanked my comments a bunch of times with nonsense/sarcastic/degrading edit summaries, but the closest he came to was "Do not post on my talk page unless it is an actual discussion" -- hardly "specifically to stop posting to talk page ", and by telling me to "Cease immediately, else be faced with a report similar to those threaten and intimidate multiple other editors with" -- I don't even know what he's talking about, since it's been months since I "threatened" a single editor with such a report, and then not with the intent of "intimidating" like using legalistic language like "cease immediately". (And yes, I know he's almost certainly referring to , in which I said {{tq|''dig your heels in, deny, and get blocked to prevent further damage to the project''}} but there was also the critical context in which it was posted -- {{tq|''Seriously, take the hint here.

Within moments of the 令和 announcement, the BBC and multiple other English-language outlets had announced that 令 meant "order" or "command" (the clearly bogus implication that the two are different, and therefore that it means order in the sense 順番 or the like, aside, a 万葉集 Book V passage was clearly cited as the source, and in that context it meant "good" or "auspicious"). The administration's intentions in choosing a character that to 99% of Japanese means "command" can be speculated on, I guess, but it just seemed sloppy to me; someone cited them in our article, I tagged the citation as not being the best, and shortly thereafter the BBC article had been partly amended, using the same words as my tag did.

It's interesting what we can pick up from their writing style; their sentence structure and vocabulary is unimpressive. Here is what I have been able to pick up: M is an Algerian. He has been an editor for just over one year. He doesn't usually contribute to articles himself; he mostly only reverts material that others have written. Lately, almost the entirety of his contributions to Misplaced Pages are to this one Talk page. His motivation is obvious: he cares about Muslims. A is an American. He is a botanist/biologist. He has been an editor for just over five years. He touches on an impressively wide variety of Misplaced Pages activities. His motivation is less obvious; although he exhibits the hallmarks of a typical troll—emanating immaturity and acting the schoolyard bully—it probably stems simply from a blinding determination to always be right.

*** Is there no forum where you could post it, maybe? I get the feeling that Dark Horse will be reprinting those ''Annie'' books.

Oh and I meant to ask earlier, about the first line in ; I like to start my section with a pleasant introduction of some sort before getting right into it; is there really a problem with this sentence; perhaps it just needs to be rewritten instead of removed, and if so what would you suggest? ] (]) 13:00, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
::I see what you mean; another caption in this article has a quote, but it is attributed in that caption. This one is attributed in the article body, and I had assumed that was enough. ] (]) 16:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
: As to the first one: unattributed quotations are always a no-no. In this case, I don't think it's a good quote, anyways: it's someone's subjective opinion, but comes across as a statement of fact. It's the kind of quote that's appropriate in the context of a section that puts it in context along with other opinions, but singling it out like that gives it undue weight. | |||
:As to the second one, it's the kind of thing you'd commonly see in, say, magazine writing, but isn't really appropriate in an encyclopaedia—it's saying in many words what can be said in few. It's one thing to prefer a "zest"-y (but factual) wording to a flat one, but it's another thing to append "zest" to the text (even if factual). The sentence doesn't add any information to the article as the facts it contains are implied but what follows. It's not the kind of thing that would kill the article's chances at GA, but it's the kind of thing you'll find copyeditors nuking. ] ] 14:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
::I appreciate that explanation. I do try, after valiantly trying to achieve every requirement for encyclopedic writing, to take it one step further within limits and try to bring some sort of feeling to my writing, especially in the first and last sentence of a paragraph or section. I have succeeded at this in the past but I have also missed the mark, as you can see. Perhaps I will try to add some sort of introductory sentence later and run the sentence by you. I really do appreciate that feedback. ] (]) 16:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
::: A rule of thumb is: if you can cut out a word without losing readability, then you probably should. Encyclopaedic writing doesn't really lend itself to much "zest", so I'm proud of myself when I can sneak in the odd ], but that's not really what encyclopaedic writing is about: it's about getting information across to readers succintly and clearly. The twists in the writing can't be at the expense of succintness and clarity. ] ] 17:04, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
What a valiant effort you have attempted with the ] article. I can think of no one better to bring such an intimidatingly large subject to GA and then probably FA. Good luck with it. ] (]) 16:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
* I'd love to see that at FA, but I'm not sure. It was a particularly difficult article to put together, because all the sources are garbage. Well, not all, but the ones that aren't garbage are limited in scope (Gabilliet's is rigorous and excellent—but only comprehensive as a historical perspective on American comics). Comics "scholarship" is an embarrassment—there are still comics "scholars" who claim straightfacedly that comics is an American invention. I feel like actually producing an FA-quality article on the subject would amount to borderline OR—because the "reliable sources" simply aren't reliable. ] ] 17:04, 23 January 2015 (UTC) | |||

::I am happy to crop it; thank-you ] for the suggestion. I assume you mean a head shot cropped from the original, positioned so as not to interfere with he references section, uploaded into Commons as a new filename, referring in the new description to the original image. I didn't know that an image shouldn't interfere with the references section or that it would be called out in a review.

::*You could have Hefner and Kurtzman side-by-side, which would mean no white space issues, and you wouldn't have to lose one of the images.

== Two grammar questions == | |||
Curly Turkey (and anyone else who is talk page stalking), here are two grammar questions. Like you, I'm pretty good at grammar, but I am wondering about these; I haven't found the answers yet, only a gut feeling. Do you know? | |||
# Do we need the word "that" for this sentence, and is there a rule? "The person stated the thing was something" or "The person stated that the thing was something" | |||
#* In the case of "stated" and "said", if the object is a ''direct quotation'', then you cannot use "that": | |||
#*: Robert said, "It's only lines on paper, folks!" | |||
#* If it's otherwise paraphrased, then "that" is prepended to it, although English being English, the "that" may be only implied: | |||
#*: Robert said it was only lines on paper. ] ] 20:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
#:::Regarding your first bullet above: I tried to choose a sentence that would allow you to focus on what I was asking (Do I insert the word "that", or not?) and failed completely, as you thought that I was asking about MOS:QUOTE, which is way off the subject. Here is my question again; which of the two is correct: "He showed us the ring he purchased" or "He showed us the ring ''that'' he purchased"? Here it is again, which of the two is correct: "She decided he was right" or "She decided ''that'' he was right"? My gut feeling is the latter is correct in both cases. What do you think? Perhaps both the former and the latter are correct in both cases because the former is simply implying the word "that"; perhaps grammar rules allow either. Is this what you were trying to say in your second bullet above? If they're both correct, I'm just going to always insert the "that" as my gut tells me doing so is more acurate. ] (]) 23:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
#::::: Sorry, I thought I'd made it clear: a ''direct quotation'' is the ''direct object'' of "said" or "stated", in which case you ''cannot'' use "that". In the other examples you've given, ''both'' are correct, but the ones with "that" are "more correct"—the "that" can be dropped but ''is implied''. So the sentences should be read as "He showed us the ring he purchased" and "She decided he was right". You can drop the word "that" in these cases ''but'' it remains ghost-like in the sentence. It's a peculiar feature of English. Do you speak Spanish or French? It's easier to understand if you do (those are languages in which you ''cannot'' drop the "that", so examples in those languages make it clear in English where a "that" has been dropped and where there was no "that" in the first place). ] ] 23:19, 26 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
#::::::(I have known for a long time that we can't mess with quotations and I was never asking anything about them.) Thanks! I understand now, you have answered my question about the "that", actually, you confirmed that I was restating your explanation correctly, that both cases are correct, but that using the word "that" is more correct. Thanks again; I have been copy editing other editor's work lately and this kept coming up (they kept leaving the "that" out) and I knew you would have this knowledge. Yes, I did learn both of those languages in school at one point but I don't get to practice them any more, and hadn't thought about using their (more straightforward) grammar to try to answer my original question; you're right, that also helps, thanks. (My wife speaks fairly fluent French, I'm not that good.) ] (]) 23:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
#:::::::: When I was talking about direct quotations, I meant it from a grammatical perspective rather than a MoS one. Maybe I was misunderstanding you: I keep seeing ''"So-and-so said that 'I think it sucks'"'' kind of writing, which is grammatically wrong (and grates against my ears). ] ] 00:02, 27 January 2015 (UTC) | |||
# Where does the "only" and the "still" go in these sentences, and is there a rule? "The thing was only noticed when" or "The thing was noticed only when". The other one: "He still was not suspected of doing the thing" or "He was still not suspected of doing the thing" | |||
#* In the first example, I feel like "only" should go before "when" —if you drop "when" you get "The thing was only noticed" . You're not trying to emphasize the ''mere''-ness of the noticing, but that it happened "only when" . This is a very subtle thing in most cases, and of course in coversation both sentences will be parsed the same way by most listeners. | |||
#* In the second example, I don't think it matters. I can think of ways you could ''intend'' its placement to have a different nuance, but I think such shades of nuance almost certainly would not be picked up by even a careful reader. ] ] 20:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC) | |||

#:::: The simple answer is "yes". I don't think it's so much a "right vs wrong" thing as much as a "more right" kind of thing.

#::::::Thank-you for confirming that. This was one that I really struggled with and didn't really have a gut feeling about which case was "right", but I see now: simply try to isolate the phrase as you did, e.g. "only when", and it became clearer. ] (]) 23:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC) | |||

== Blu-Ray is evil == | |||
I don't really watch many movies, so not buying a Blu-Ray player was not decision that kept me up at night. What initially clinched it with me was the Region Codes—something that drove me nuts about DVDs: I'd buy a DVD in Canada of , say, ''The Wizard of Oz'', and find I couldn't play it on a Japanese player. Why? I spent actual money on the player. I spent actual money on the disc. I wasn't about to pay even higher prices to be put through that horeshit with Blu-Ray. | |||
Well, my son was on TV a little while back. The station was nice enough to send us a burned disc of the spot (about five minutes). YOu've probably guessed they sent a a Blu-Ray disc. So, under orders from The Boss, I bought us a DVD drive for the desktop. We've had ] on the desktop since 2007 (I've got ] on my laptop). The Blu-Ray people aren't much into Linux—there are workarounds to get Blu-Ray to work, but none of them worked for me this weekend. There used to be (32-bit only) PowerDVD for Ubuntu, but that seems to have disappeared (yes, I would have paid for it). Nothing worked for me. I was about to reinstall Vista (still have the disc that came with the desktop—haven't even dualbooted since 2007, though), only to find out that Microsoft doesn't actually support Blu-Ray—you still have to buy separate software just to run Blu-Ray discs?!? I mean, Jesus Christ, Blu-Ray people—no wonder everyone just downloads! | |||
I mean, I'm not even talking about commercial Blu-Ray discs here. I can't even use the drive to burn a data Blu-Ray disc to backup my photos. A drive that I paid hard money for onto a disc I paid hard money for to store photos I took with a camera I paid hard money for! YOU HAVE MY MONEY, BLU-RAY PEOPLE!

:: I'm trying to figure out the gameplay---is it a ''Resident Evil'' kind of thing? ] ] 09:19, 4 February 2015 (UTC) | |||
::: No, it doesn't have violence or horror or require much skill or eye-hand coordination; it's more of a thriller; think of it as a game "The Boss" would enjoy, as mine truly did. It's actually like watching a touching and exciting movie as you tilt the controller stick and cause the main character to go through the plot that is all pre-arranged for you. Hardcore gamers hated it because it wasn't a skill-based sport like ''Resident Evil'', ''Grand Theft Auto'', or ''Call of Duty'' (I have no interest in those). The gameplay is fully described, I sure hope that section communicates to the reader. We actually bought our PlayStation 3 just for that one game (we don't play much but knew that game was right up our alley). The machines are inexpensive, now that a newer model has come out, and so is that game at this late stage. When we occasionally rent a Blu-Ray we watch it from there. BTW, congrats to your son for being on TV. ] (]) 13:27, 4 February 2015 (UTC) | |||
:::: I guess I wasn't quite believing what I was reading. So ... it's a "game" with no actual "game" in it? The TV spot was nothing really special—just a human-interest piece that was broadcast in the middle of the night on ice hockey in Shizuoka. To put that in perspective: Shizuoka is sub-tropical, and it only really snows in the mountains.

I am simply trying to add some context to the Aftermath section as it is not evident from the article that the Porte de Vincennes shootings and hostage crisis a) occurred in Ile de France as the subsection suggest and b) there is no causation in the article. Clearly the hostage crisis and subsequent killings at the Hypercacher supermarket were related to Charlie Hebdo. May I please ask for your assistance with what I believe is a simple edit? Thank you. Feel free to email me at adam.blitzATcolumnist.com AB | |||

Trump gave a about the imperial household and the ''Man'yōshū'' and Reiwa and Tabito and Okura. Pretty hilarious by itself to think that anyone would think it was Trump's own words coming out of his mouth. But what's even more interesting is that he ''didn't'' repeat the same "oldest poetry anthology" error that appears on Abe's English website and every English-language media outlet that has discussed the issue over the last few months (except the English version of the ''Mainichi''{{'}}s website). I guess someone on Trump's team checked English Misplaced Pages (specifically ) and noticed the mistake, and changed it to the extremely 意訳ish {{tq|''a collection of ancient Japanese poetry called the Man'yōshū''}}. The apostrophe and the macrons really look like someone checked English Misplaced Pages, unless the Trump White House includes someone with a grounding in the writings of ] and ], and the fact that "Japan's oldest " has been so ubiquitous as a translation of the phrase "日本最古の歌集" makes me really want to believe that Trump was told by Abe through an interpreter that the source of the name "Reiwa" is "Japan's oldest poetry anthology", Trump's speech was drafted to include that, and someone looked on Misplaced Pages during the drafting. | |||
</gallery> | |||
Now, I wonder how the South Korean (and North Korean) governments will react to Trump having shoehorned in a reference to ] and ''not'' mentioning his being a likely immigrant from Paekche. That seems really like something someone on the Abe side got Trump to say and no one on the American side knew enough to see the problem. Then again, it's entirely possible I'm literally the only person to notice this who wasn't directly involved. | |||

I don't think I've ever conflicted with a user who was trying to set themselves up as a good-faith Wikipedian whose goals were in line with the project, who immediately after failing to get me site-banned posted a bunch of dog-whistles about "those sneaky Japs" on their user page. Obviously a lot of editors I've conflicted with have assumed I was secretly Japanese despite my relatively much better English than Japanese ability and the clear statement on my user page, but this is a step or two further, and those guys were usually using throwaway sock accounts to do that. ] (<small>]]</small>) 02:18, 4 June 2019 (UTC) | |||

Posting this here because, while I'm not afraid to point it out in public, I'm worried that posting a "we really don't need to listen to this guy, since he's here for tendentious and highly hypocritical reasons" directly on ] would be tagged as "inappropriate use of a policy talk page" even though it's clearly on-topic and relevant. I dunno ... if you or ] or ] agree with me then I wouldn't need to be the one to point it out. | |||
== Where the heck is Kurumazaka? == | |||
I'm just going to point out that despite claiming HARASS is the most important Misplaced Pages policy excepting possibly NPA, Snow Rise has never edited this page before posting , and is in fact one of the editors who has repeatedly asserted that when I monitor the edits of disruptive editors like the above-mentioned 11-character editor it qualifies as hounding, and was himself personally responsible for much of the difficulty in handling the problematic editors. His opinion on who is in the right never seems to change no matter how many of the users I was "hounding" ultimately get sitebanned. How did he notice this discussion, why does he show up every time I am accused of "hounding" a problematic editor (including attempting to rewrite a clear statement by ArbCom in order to rehash hounding accusations he had made three years earlier), and do you think he realizes the irony of ''him'' repeatedly accusing ''me'' of hounding? | |||
Hi CT, how's things? I'm in the process of throwing ] up against the wall for GA assessment - I'm fairly happy with it, but one thing's bugging me - the Kurumazaka dojo. I understand this came orginally from the ja-wiki article, but I can't find any reference to a Tokyo suburb named Kurumazaka. I just wanted to check whether this could have been a mis-Romanization - there's a ] that seems to fit the bill (it was near the castle where he worked, and had a history as an entertainment district so his bar and theatre projects would not have been out of place). Could 神楽坂 be conceivabley mis-transliterated as "Kurumazaka", or am I barking up the wrong tree here? ] ]] 13:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC) | |||
* Nope, it was definitely 車坂, and a turns up quite a few hits, most of which relate to Skakakibara. According to the article for the former Shitaya Ward (]—no en.wp article) the former Kurumazaka, Kami-Kurumazaka, and Shimo-Kurumazaka are now merged into ] and Higashi-Ueno. I haven't had any luck finding the exact location, and it looks like ] moved it to ], so perhaps the Kurumazaka location hasn't been preserved. I'm sure there's a map somewhere, but I haven't had any luck. According to a blog, he opened the dojo in Kurumazaka in 1864, but I can't find a RS that confirms this ( on Google Books are only snippet views at best). ] ] 20:14, 9 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

== Malcolm X page == | |||
== Re: The Exaltation of the Flower == | |||
Hello, | |||
Thanks for looking at ]. I think it's poor form to add a citation needed tag to an article waiting for a GAR, particularly regarding a statement that does not exactly require a citation, namely the uncontested historical fact that Pharsalos is known for the Battle of Pharsalus. It seems quite silly, in fact, for two reasons: a) it is easily supported at the given links, and b) the following sentence notes that the archaeologist in question was "involved in an official mission to collect objects related to Caesar's campaigns". Well, that pretty much proves the point, after all, Julius Caesar defeated Pompey during the Great Roman Civil War at the Battle of Pharsalus. But let's look at the statement: | |||
I was wondering if you could insert this Malcolm X quote somewhere on his Misplaced Pages page | |||
*The town of Farsala was once named Pharsalos, and was known for the Battle of Pharsalus. | |||
"“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he’s a the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcom X" | |||
Is this any qualitatively different than saying | |||
*New York was once named New Amsterdam, and was named after the Duke of York. | |||
Here is the source. It's the second quote from the top. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?q=%E2%80%9CThe+media%27s+the+most+powerful+entity+on+earth.+They+have+the+power+to+make+the+innocent+guilty+and+to+make+the+guilty+innocent%2C+and+that%27s+power.+Because+they+control+the+minds+of+the+masses.%E2%80%25 | |||
Would a serious citation be needed for any of these statements? | |||
If you are seriously concerned, you could have made a note on the talk page, but it seems quite extreme to demand a citation for a self-evident historical fact already associated with the very reason the archaeologist found the work in the first place. This seems to be similar to a "is the sky really blue" request. Of course, if there is a reason to question or challenge this, then by all means, ask the question on the talk page. Finally, can you give me a link to a guideline that supports your claim that "images should be placed after a title, not right before it"? The image was deliberately placed before the title to float it across two different sections, per common practice for the purpose of layout. ] (]) 08:31, 15 March 2015 (UTC) | |||
: {{ec}} Placing an image just before a title is a common practice? I'm totally unfamiliar with it, and I've got nearly 5000 pages on my Watchlist. ] states: "An image should generally be placed in the section of the article that is most relevant to the image." | |||
::I don't know what to tell you, other than you are wrong. ] has notthing whatsoever to do with the floating placement of an image. It has to do with the relevance of an image to a particular section. Those are two different concepts, so I don't know how you could have confused the two. But let's play your game. Your edit, in fact, violated ], as it removed the image of Farsala from the relevant background section where it is discussed. You removed it from the relevant section and placed it in the next section, which doesn't discuss Farsala. I'm surprised it didn't occur to you that the reason editors float images like this is because a) there isn't enough space in the relevant section, and b) it improves layout to float them between, so that the image hangs from the relevant section into the next, without forcing it and cramping the layout or the image size. There is no guideline or policy that prevents or forbids "hanging" or "floating" an image between sections. None. ] (]) 09:11, 15 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

::::Your "game" is that you claimed the image placement violated ]. However, it was your edit that violated that guideline. The image was previously (and correctly) placed in the relevant section. The fact that it floated into the next is perfectly acceptable. ] (]) 10:20, 15 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

:: And the name of the original illustration is just "Nemesis of Neglect"; that some random user of Misplaced Pages has chosen to add the prefix "Jack-the-Ripper" is irrelevant.

:::: The first link is another example of lazy thinking. The second link is correct: the cartoon ''was'' inspired by a letter to ''The Times'', which appeared on page 11 of the 18 September 1888 issue. The letter is a polemic against the urban, moral and social decay of the slums of London, eg "We have far too long been content to know that within a walk of palaces and mansions... there have existed tens of thousands of our fellow creatures begotten and reared in an atmosphere of godless brutality, a species of human sewage, the very drainage of the vilest production of ordinary vice; such sewage ever on the increase, and in its increase forever developing fresh depths of degradation..." The crimes of the slums - all crimes of the slums - the correspondent asserted, were "the means of affording to us a warning it will be at our extreme peril to neglect." Tenniel's cartoon is an allegory, not a picture of "The Ripper". ] (]) 23:53, 16 March 2015 (UTC) | |||

: ]: It's not a subject I know much about, so I can't speak to its comprehensiveness. The writing seems fine—I made some very minor, mostly insubstantial edits that you can feel free to revert, but the quality of writing would not have been an issue at FAC. If it were me, I'd add some very brief contextualizing both the novel (publication and reputation?) and Bunny (birth, length and character of career?). ] <span style="color: Red;">🍁</span> ] 21:56, 1 July 2019 (UTC) | ||
::Thanks for reading through the article. A quick question re : Wouldn't the period remain inside the nested quotes to preserve the original quotation? I agree that some additional context may be helpful; the question is where to put it, however. Would material about Bunny's career fit in the production section? Would a sentence or two about the novel's publication details fit in the plot section? I'll put the article aside and re-evaluate its potential for expansion in a few weeks. I don't want to rush things since I haven't nominated a FA before. :) In any case, I'll probably reach out to one of the editors at ] for a more in-depth review before taking the plunge. – ] (]) 22:46, 1 July 2019 (UTC) | |||
::: No, we don't preserve outside house styles on Misplaced Pages. We would only do so if there were some significance to doing so (say, to compare stylings, or to demonstrate something). | |||
::: As for where to put the context: you could have a short "Background" section, or, as you say, you could say something in the plot summary. Say, something along the lines of "''The Pickwick Papers'' appeared in 1836 and was Charles Dickens first novel; . The film adapts only three ...". | |||
::: To be honest, unless a subject expert were to point out some gaping flaw or oversight, I wouldn't be surprised to see it promoted pretty much as is. There might be some technical details you could add—length and gauge of film? Is it known what cameras or other equipment was used? Filmic techniques or whatever? | |||
::: Looking a bit more closely, I can see a brief history in th esecond endnote about previous ''Pickwick'' adaptations. YOu could move that into a background section—start with the novel's publication and legacy, move onto film adaptations, and conclude with a capsule history of Bunny's career. Maybe two brief paragraphs. ] <span style="color: Red;">🍁</span> ] 23:23, 1 July 2019 (UTC) | |||
::::A separate background section seems like the way to go. I didn't think there was enough material for one when I was first writing the article, but if I include more info on Bunny's career, as you suggest, a stand-alone section would fit effectively into the structure of the article. One paragraph on Bunny and his earlier work with Vitagraph, plus a paragraph on Dickens's original novel and its earlier film adaptations, would definitely make the article easier to understand for readers unfamiliar with the subject. This would also resolve the issue of having such a bulky footnote on previous adaptations of ''Pickwick''.{{paragraph break}}I feel confident about the article's comprehensiveness. Gill cites one article (from the ''Chatham News'' if I'm remembering correctly) that I wasn't able to track down with an interlibrary loan request. Other than that, I've tracked down all the cross-references from the sources I've cited. Unless I've missed something major in my research, our article is the most comprehensive account of ''The Pickwick Papers'' yet written.{{paragraph break}}Regarding the technical details you asked about, the British Film Institute that the film gauge is 35mm and that the length is 2079 ft. (The BFI only has two out of the three reels, however; we could extrapolate that the full length is ~3,000 ft., but that would be original research.) Sources appear to be silent on the equipment and filmic techniques employed in the film's production. The sources that go into the most detail about production—the two ''Moving Picture World'' articles by Hoffman—focus more on Bunny and the crew (e.g., their attempt to borrow a historic cab from the British Museum) rather than the technical details of filming. The best I could tell you in this regard is that the crew consisted of ], the director, and one camera operator. – ] (]) 01:10, 2 July 2019 (UTC) | |||
::::: Before I comment further, I just want to reiterate that, despite the number of film FAs I've produced, I'm not a film buff, and have relied on reviewers to spot technical and contextual issues. I don't know how necessary, useful, or helpful the tech information is, but it seems to be a popular thing to include when available. If you include it, I'd word it something like "the copies in the BFINA are 2079 ft". We don't know th elength of the other reel, so leave it to the reader to speculate. Unless you have a source explicitly stating so, we don't know if the 2079 ft is even the full length: '']'', for instance, is missing at least one sequence, which was discovered only because of the discovery of unicorporated "cels"—if they hadn't been discovered, you would never guess anything was missing. | |||

== Dave Sim's ''Judenhass'' (2008) now in the Public Domain == | |||
I can't say I got anything out of '']''–lightweight yet heavy-handed, and really not in the least insightful. On top of that, we have the greatest letterer who ever lived resorting to ugly digital fonts—I thought Sim hated computers?!? Art Spiegelman —and I don't think it's professional jealousy. This thing gave me headaches, but I made myself read through it a second time after Sim announced he was putting it in the Public Domain. | |||
The art is in Sim's "new" photorealistic style, which I don't hate but neither do I like. The text is very Sim—a manneristic style I admired when I was fourteen, but which has long since come to grate against my mind's ears. The book makes more sense as a document of Sim's self-isolating worldview than anything else, although that's not likely obvious if you haven't read much Sim. | |||

I replied implicitly to your recent edit and question posed in Edit summary . I thought you had a good point as to scale in the intro but that you'd overdone the cut a bit. I'm open to adjustments or dialogue or -- hopefully congenial -- contest. | |||
With a brief glimpse of your page intro here you may also be interested in my first, earlier-today edit to the page. Again I'm open to exchange. | |||
Cheers. ] (]) 15:01, 7 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
: ]: There are a number of issues with the reference to the film. Ondaatje was a household name in Canada before the film came out—I was assigned ''The English Patient'' in high school (circa 1993–94?). Placing the mention of the film there makes it seem as if his claim to fame is the film. It's not. On top of that is the ] wording "award-winning", which is not an appropriate description on Misplaced Pages. It is not an ''award-winning'' film; it is a film that ''won an award'', and the award-winning is both tangential and irrelevant to ''Ondaatje''{{`}}s article—at least in the first paragraph of the lead, which should be about ''his'' achievements—which is, after all, what readers are looking for when they type "Michael Ondaatje" into the search box. As it is now, almost ''half'' of the lead is now dominated by ''that film''. | |||
: I don't have any issue with your other changes. ] ] 22:19, 7 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
:: You didn't reassess scale ''per se'' in intro (it was down to less that a quarter, my rough est.) but I took out the offending phrase (while I think/work maybe further on your excoriation of it at least) and do appreciate your attention/further background. As to fame-claim, 'the writer whose book became The English Patient' is certainly for many in the world the beginning and end of ''potential'' author-awareness, I'd maybe say. And that's 'not that bad'; 'better than many'; et c. While Wiki is not out of course to pander to the limited-exposure Hollywood-or-wherever-only encyclopedia readership solely, I also feel it's worth not turning our back on that readership completely (as you did in your wholesale cut); in the interests of inclusivity and outreach. Cheers. 14:37. | |||

* Well, if it's a redundancy, you'll have to blame the Japanese, because the translation is of '']''. Just to split that hair a little finer, though: I know your dictionary lists "painting" as a valid translation of ''e'' (because it's how you ''would'' translate, say, ''Mone no e'' "Monet's painting"), but it really just means "non-photographic picture" (""Monet's picture"). And I just realized the Japanese '']'' page links to '']''—a term which could technically be used with non-ukiyo-e painting, but in practice isn't. For some reason the Japanese page explains it using English terms ("painting", "print") even though they're all Japanese terms for a Japanese artform ... To make things more confusing, the translate ''kaiga'' as "painting", and then link to the '']'' page, which opens with a children's crayon drawing. ] ] 22:23, 5 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

:::Wugapodes, please allow me to make a correction to your assumption. I did ''all'' of the research for this article and rewrote this article ''in its entirety'' myself. (] is my sandbox version). I don't think Curly Turkey will mind when I say he is not a major contributor. After I completed my research, I deleted the previous, unsuitable version of the article, then I rewrote the article. I asked Curly Turkey to pre-review the article, which he was kind enough to do (I trust him as he is an expert on the subject). However, in addition to his helpful comments that he wrote to the Talk page, he also made numerous tiny edits to the article, each edit changing only a few characters. This is not the way I edit. I write, click Preview instead of Save, write some more, click Preview again, and repeat this process for sometime hours and then finally click Save. ] to him at the time that others would see his name in the history so much more often than mine and fail to notice the number of characters I contributed in comparison, and assume he was the primary contributor. Now I see that this is exactly what has happened. And now, I am dismayed to see that I have left my Wikibreak notice on and find Curly Turkey, in good faith and only trying to be helpful, responding to the review as if he is the nominator.

:: ''The book is postmodern, persistently self-referential and ironic—most strikingly in its depiction of Jews as mice, Germans as cats, and non-Jewish Poles as pigs.'': this makes it seem like the anthropomorphism itself was ironic—at times, irony deflates the animal metaphor, by I wouldn't say it was overall ironic.

== Comics vs Comic == | |||
One of your favorite awkward manifestations of the English language! Is it always "comics" and never "comic"? Don't worry, I mostly know the answer, however I come to you with the question as the '']'' article is undergoing a very helpful copy edit from the ] and, while I know it should be "comics series" and "comics feature" and not "comic feature", I notice my own writing occasionally says "comic" ("the elaborate, fully painted comic" and "pencil roughs of each page of the comic") so I may be getting it wrong sometimes. After all, it is "comic strip", not "comics strip". So what do you think? It would help me the most if you would please go to this page and search for every use of the word "comic" and see if each appearance should instead be "comics". I want to get an understanding of this once and for all. Thanks! ] (]) 19:17, 11 August 2015 (UTC) | |||
: It's "comics" when referring to the ''medium'', so it's correct to say "comics writer", "comics publisher", "comics critic". In "the elaborate, fully painted comic" and "pencil roughs of each page of the comic", you're not talking about the medium. "Comics strip" and "comics book" would be logically more correct, but "comic strip" and "comic book" were well established long before the term "comics" (uncountable) became widely used to refer to the medium (which happened by the eighties—it's how Eisner used the term in '']''). | |||
: In "the elaborate, fully painted comic" and "pencil roughs of each page of the comic", you're not talking about the medium itself, but individual manifestations of it. Think of it this way: "theatre" is a medium, and a "play" is a manifestation of it. A critic of the medium would be a "theatre critic", rather than a "play critic", right? So take "pencil roughs of each page of the comic" and substitute "theatre" and "play" into it: which sounds better, "pencil roughs of each page of the theatre" or "pencil roughs of each page of the play"? Since it's the latter, you're safe using "comic". Having said that, I avoid it because "comic" can be read in different ways (apparently "comic" is the preferred term for "comic book" in England, for example, and in certain circumstances the word can be read as "comedic", as in "]"). I'd use a term such as "strip" or "work" to avoid confusion, but you're not "incorrect" to use "comic" there. ] ] 21:23, 11 August 2015 (UTC) | |||

- "Calling out" for what? Be very careful, or I'll see to it that my 20% stake in your block log is increased. Cassianto 09:46, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Calling you out" for digging up every opportunity to keep your end of that discussion knee-deep in irrelevant ad hominems, of course. Resorting to laughably empty threats instead of retracting your lie only paints you as more the coward, terrified to own up to his missteps. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 10:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Huh
Again I must ask, how is this guy not blocked yet?
I also don't recall any specific time in the past he's told me to stay off his talk page; he's blanked my comments a bunch of times with nonsense/sarcastic/degrading edit summaries, but the closest he came to was "Do not post on my talk page unless it is an actual discussion" -- hardly "specifically to stop posting to talk page ", and by telling me to "Cease immediately, else be faced with a report similar to those threaten and intimidate multiple other editors with" -- I don't even know what he's talking about, since it's been months since I "threatened" a single editor with such a report, and then not with the intent of "intimidating" like using legalistic language like "cease immediately". (And yes, I know he's almost certainly referring to this, in which I said dig your heels in, deny, and get blocked to prevent further damage to the project
but there was also the critical context in which it was posted -- Seriously, take the hint here. I'm trying to help you, but you are digging yourself a hole that you're not going to be able to get out of. I'm begging you to .

Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, 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 Misplaced Pages's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Misplaced Pages's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Misplaced Pages, you may be blocked from editing. DarkKnight2149 07:02, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
Off topic arguing removed from WP:ANI
Hi. Please do not restore that content again. The thread was closed to stop you and the other editor arguing unproductively. Carrying on afterwards is not acceptable, hence its removal. Restore it again and I will block your account from editing for disruption. Regards, Fish+Karate 11:36, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Fish and karate: It's all going straight back up again tomorrow regardless, so you're not accomplishing anything but aggravating people with this behaviour. You still have the option to revert and hat, like I requested—unless threatening victims of harassment with blocks is more your style. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 11:47, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- As I said, restore it again and you will be blocked for disruption. Being very clear on an entirely avoidable consequence is not a threat. If you want to carry on arguing with another user, do it elsewhere. The thread was closed, this means "stop". I am sorry that you are a victim of harassment, or feel like you are; if you wish to report that harassment please do so, as I would hope it could be resolved. However, this does not exempt you from anything, including being expected to know when to drop the stick. You have been asked, and now have been told, to not post that content back again; that really should be the end of it. If you need it for an arbitration request, or whatever, the diffs are all in the page history. Fish+Karate 12:34, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Fish and karate: I requested you to hat it rather than obfuscate the record, and you responded with an immediate revert and threat to block, choosing the more aggressive of the options. And here you are reiterating the threat (twice in one post) when it's obvious I'm not about to revert it. Your heels are too firmly dug in to get my hopes up, but perhaps you'll reconsider your approach in the future. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 12:57, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- A re-revert, not a revert. If it's "obvious (you're) not about to revert it" then why say "It's all going straight back up again tomorrow regardless"? If I mistook your meaning there I do apologize. Fish+Karate 13:50, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- As in, it's all going straight back into the ANI report I promised, which I've now filed. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 14:06, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Which is fine, that's what ANI is for, no objection to that. Apologies again for mistaking your meaning - I was under the impression it meant you were going to re-post the content at the end of a closed thread, again. Fish+Karate 15:06, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Regarding Borodin and news from Moscow
In regard to this edit, I don't think it was The Moscow News at the time Borodin worked there. The sources I used referred to Moscow News, and the masthead from that period lacked the definite article. The name The Moscow News seems to have been adopted in one of the more recent incarnations of the paper. RGloucester — ☎ 06:36, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Feeling a bit of an ego boost, but also apologetic
Within moments of the 令和 announcement, the BBC and multiple other English-language outlets had announced that 令 meant "order" or "command" (the clearly bogus implication that the two are different, and therefore that it means order in the sense 順番 or the like, aside, a 万葉集 Book V passage was clearly cited as the source, and in that context it definitely meant "good" or "auspicious"). The administration's intentions in choosing a character that to 99% of Japanese means "command" can be speculated on, I guess, but it just seemed sloppy to me; someone cited them in our article, I tagged the citation as not being the best, and shortly thereafter the BBC article had been partly amended, using the same words as my tag did. I'm definitely not the only one to notice that error, and I wasn't the first, but I imagine a lot of people were looking at Misplaced Pages to check these things.
All that said, a bunch of source's have mistakenly identified the 万葉集 as "Japan's oldest poetry anthology", apparently mirroring a mistranslation that appeared on the Kantei's website. I could have probably prevented some of that if I had done several days ago (or years ago when I first noticed that it was quite a common problem) what I just did now and added "It is not Japan's oldest poetry anthology" to the lead of our article.
It'll probably not be until the next era change (I kinda wish Japan would go back to the old system where eras change a lot more frequently than sovereigns) before my area of the encyclopedia gets that much attention.
Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 13:48, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Have you been following the English coverage? It gets soooooo much shittier than all that. Check out how many sources translate 令 not only as "order" but "orderly" (!!!!!), so that they translate 令和 as "orderly peace" (!!!!!).
- You appear to be aware that there's controversy in the press and amongst politicians over the name, and there really should be more in the article about it (for example, it's been brought up that the only other time in history 令 was proposed in a nengō was with 令徳, which was rejected as implying "徳川に命令する", so the concerns with the choice "really" meaning "command" are nothing new, and likely known when the choce was made).
- The Man'yōshū article could sure use some love, eh? I was going to make some comment about what you were saying, but then thought I'd double-check the article to see if I had my facts straight ... the article wasn't helpful, so I'll button my lips.

So, that happened...
Trump gave a speech about the imperial household and the Man'yōshū and Reiwa and Tabito and Okura. Pretty hilarious by itself to think that anyone would think it was Trump's own words coming out of his mouth. But what's even more interesting is that he didn't repeat the same "oldest poetry anthology" error that appears on Abe's English website and every English-language media outlet that has discussed the issue over the last few months (except the English version of the Mainichi's website). I guess someone on Trump's team checked English Misplaced Pages (specifically this text) and noticed the mistake, and changed it to the extremely 意訳ish a collection of ancient Japanese poetry called the Man'yōshū
. The apostrophe and the macrons really look like someone checked English Misplaced Pages, unless the Trump White House includes someone with a grounding in the writings of Miller and Keene, and the fact that "Japan's oldest " has been so ubiquitous as a translation of the phrase "日本最古の歌集" makes me really want to believe that Trump was told by Abe through an interpreter that the source of the name "Reiwa" is "Japan's oldest poetry anthology", Trump's speech was drafted to include that, and someone looked on Misplaced Pages during the drafting.
Now, I wonder how the South Korean (and North Korean) governments will react to Trump having shoehorned in a reference to Yamanoue no Okura and not mentioning his being a likely immigrant from Paekche. That seems really like something someone on the Abe side got Trump to say and no one on the American side knew enough to see the problem. Then again, it's entirely possible I'm literally the only person to notice this who wasn't directly involved.
Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 15:09, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- I sure wouldn't have noticed. I wanted to hear the speech to hear how Trump would trip over pronouncing Man'yōshū, but all I could find is this, which cuts out before those sections (assuming he gave the whole speech). Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 06:25, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what to make of this
I don't think I've ever conflicted with a user who was trying to set themselves up as a good-faith Wikipedian whose goals were in line with the project, who immediately after failing to get me site-banned posted a bunch of dog-whistles about "those sneaky Japs" on their user page. Obviously a lot of editors I've conflicted with have assumed I was secretly Japanese despite my relatively much better English than Japanese ability and the clear statement on my user page, but this is a step or two further, and those guys were usually using throwaway sock accounts to do that. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 02:18, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I don't know your history with the user, but I've noticed there's a breed of American that likes to whip out Pearl Harbour at every opportunity—plenty of such folk were calling 東日本大震災 "payback for Pearl Harbour". Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 03:25, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- Well, I had seen no indication that he was one of those guys despite combing a bunch of his edits for copyvio. Basically after I opened a CCI on him he opened an ANI on me, and a bunch of folks showed up to essentially say "Yeah, Hijiri88 is very much in the right in this case, so let's just put the OP under more scrutiny for copyvio, and not indef him for harassment" (some people who didn't know me said "Let's indef the OP for copyvio"). After a couple of days I decided I'd had enough and went on break, after which point the thread was closed. Once I came back to Misplaced Pages yesterday, suddenly the offending editor was posting anti-Japanese propaganda on his user page, and citing the 75th anniversary of D-Day (!?) as an excuse. I'm not sure if he thinks I won't notice, or if the mere fact of my having noticed is gonna be trumped up by him as further evidence of my "hounding him" -- it would do him great if he could point to anti-Japanese edits he made before his first interaction with me, but otherwise it just looks like he's posting racist dog-whistles on his user page specifically for my attention, which is the opposite of me hounding him.

HOUND
Posting this here because, while I'm not afraid to point it out in public, I'm worried that posting a "we really don't need to listen to this guy, since he's here for tendentious and highly hypocritical reasons" directly on WT:HARASS would be tagged as "inappropriate use of a policy talk page" even though it's clearly on-topic and relevant. I dunno ... if you or User:Tryptofish or User:CorbieV agree with me then I wouldn't need to be the one to point it out.
I'm just going to point out that despite claiming HARASS is the most important Misplaced Pages policy excepting possibly NPA, Snow Rise has never edited this page before posting the above, and is in fact one of the editors who has repeatedly asserted that when I monitor the edits of disruptive editors like the above-mentioned 11-character editor it qualifies as hounding, and was himself personally responsible for much of the difficulty in handling the problematic editors. His opinion on who is in the right never seems to change no matter how many of the users I was "hounding" ultimately get sitebanned. How did he notice this discussion, why does he show up every time I am accused of "hounding" a problematic editor (including attempting to rewrite a clear statement by ArbCom in order to rehash hounding accusations he had made three years earlier), and do you think he realizes the irony of him repeatedly accusing me of hounding?

Not sure if that was relevant, but you do have something of a history of agreeing with me when I accuse "the editors I was hounding" of in fact hounding me.

Malcolm X page
Hello,
I was wondering if you could insert this Malcolm X quote somewhere on his Misplaced Pages page
"“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses. The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he’s a the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. This is the press, an irresponsible press. It will make the criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcom X"
Here is the source. It's the second quote from the top. https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/search?q=%E2%80%9CThe+media%27s+the+most+powerful+entity+on+earth.+They+have+the+power+to+make+the+innocent+guilty+and+to+make+the+guilty+innocent%2C+and+that%27s+power.+Because+they+control+the+minds+of+the+masses.%E2%80%25

Rainer Maria Rilke
Funny: the Poetry Foundation as a source came up in my Misplaced Pages class last week. Students were using it, and I explained that IMO their pages can be used to verify basic, factual information, but not statements like the one in the Rilke article (I'll use that as an example Monday). If the page listed an author, and if sources were provided, it might be a different thing--but saying "according to the Poetry Foundation..." will not do here, of course. We just need to cut that entire sentence, I think. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 14:48, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Suitability of The Pickwick Papers (1913 film) for FAC
Hi Curly Turkey. I brought The Pickwick Papers (1913 film) to good article status a few months ago, and I am now considering nominating it for featured article status. Would you be willing to take a look over the article and give your opinion on how it would fare at FAC? Although you aren't listed at Misplaced Pages:Mentoring for FAC, I wanted to ask you since you have brought several silent film articles to featured status. Thanks in advance. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Lord Bolingbroke: It's not a subject I know much about, so I can't speak to its comprehensiveness. The writing seems fine—I made some very minor, mostly insubstantial edits that you can feel free to revert, but the quality of writing would not have been an issue at FAC. If it were me, I'd add some very brief contextualizing both the novel (publication and reputation?) and Bunny (birth, length and character of career?). Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 21:56, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for reading through the article. A quick question re this edit: Wouldn't the period remain inside the nested quotes to preserve the original quotation? I agree that some additional context may be helpful; the question is where to put it, however. Would material about Bunny's career fit in the production section? Would a sentence or two about the novel's publication details fit in the plot section? I'll put the article aside and re-evaluate its potential for expansion in a few weeks. I don't want to rush things since I haven't nominated a FA before. :) In any case, I'll probably reach out to one of the editors at WP:FAM for a more in-depth review before taking the plunge. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:46, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- No, we don't preserve outside house styles on Misplaced Pages. We would only do so if there were some significance to doing so (say, to compare stylings, or to demonstrate something).
- As for where to put the context: you could have a short "Background" section, or, as you say, you could say something in the plot summary. Say, something along the lines of "The Pickwick Papers appeared in 1836 and was Charles Dickens first novel; . The film adapts only three ...".
- To be honest, unless a subject expert were to point out some gaping flaw or oversight, I wouldn't be surprised to see it promoted pretty much as is. There might be some technical details you could add—length and gauge of film? Is it known what cameras or other equipment was used? Filmic techniques or whatever?
- Looking a bit more closely, I can see a brief history in th esecond endnote about previous Pickwick adaptations. YOu could move that into a background section—start with the novel's publication and legacy, move onto film adaptations, and conclude with a capsule history of Bunny's career. Maybe two brief paragraphs. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 23:23, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
- A separate background section seems like the way to go. I didn't think there was enough material for one when I was first writing the article, but if I include more info on Bunny's career, as you suggest, a stand-alone section would fit effectively into the structure of the article. One paragraph on Bunny and his earlier work with Vitagraph, plus a paragraph on Dickens's original novel and its earlier film adaptations, would definitely make the article easier to understand for readers unfamiliar with the subject. This would also resolve the issue of having such a bulky footnote on previous adaptations of Pickwick.I feel confident about the article's comprehensiveness. Gill cites one article (from the Chatham News if I'm remembering correctly) that I wasn't able to track down with an interlibrary loan request. Other than that, I've tracked down all the cross-references from the sources I've cited. Unless I've missed something major in my research, our article is the most comprehensive account of The Pickwick Papers yet written.Regarding the technical details you asked about, the British Film Institute specifies that the film gauge is 35mm and that the length is 2079 ft. (The BFI only has two out of the three reels, however; we could extrapolate that the full length is ~3,000 ft., but that would be original research.) Sources appear to be silent on the equipment and filmic techniques employed in the film's production. The sources that go into the most detail about production—the two Moving Picture World articles by Hoffman—focus more on Bunny and the crew (e.g., their attempt to borrow a historic cab from the British Museum) rather than the technical details of filming. The best I could tell you in this regard is that the crew consisted of Laurence Trimble, the director, and one camera operator. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 01:10, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- Before I comment further, I just want to reiterate that, despite the number of film FAs I've produced, I'm not a film buff, and have relied on reviewers to spot technical and contextual issues. I don't know how necessary, useful, or helpful the tech information is, but it seems to be a popular thing to include when available. If you include it, I'd word it something like "the copies in the BFINA are 2079 ft". We don't know th elength of the other reel, so leave it to the reader to speculate. Unless you have a source explicitly stating so, we don't know if the 2079 ft is even the full length: Gertie the Dinosaur, for instance, is missing at least one sequence, which was discovered only because of the discovery of unicorporated "cels"—if they hadn't been discovered, you would never guess anything was missing.
- Or, you could just leave it out, unless a reviewer requests it. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 04:27, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
- I'm late in replying, but I just want to thank you for taking time to look over the article even though you were going through a contentious on-wiki disagreement. I appreciate your feedback, which has helped clarify my thinking on how to improve the article. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:02, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- I don't know if you care at this point, but just to follow up to the above: I think I'll leave out the technical information on the film reels for now. Simply specifying the number of reels (and that one of them is a split reel) should be enough for most readers. If another reviewer thinks the technical info is valuable, it'll be easy to add. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 21:25, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

3) On April 12, Curly Turkey added a {cite check} template to the article and began 'scrubbing' the page for sourcing problems he perceived on the page. Over the following days, he edit warred with multiple other editors to keep the template on the page; it was removed for the final time by J. Johnson on April 17. During the edit war, Curly Turkey refused multiple requests on the talk page to explain the issues he was seeing with the sourcing (timeline by J. Johnson). Passed 6 to 1 at 03:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Huh? you explained in detail on the talk page what the problem was. Are they actually reading the talk page itself ?!?!
In another section they state: Curly Turkey and sources
7) Curly Turkey exhibited a black and white view of verifiability and text-to-reference integrity that crossed the line from reasonable concern for verifiability into tendentious editing. As a result of this strict interpretation, he insisted upon the removal or tagging of sources which other editors reasonably argued supported the preceding text. He refused to consider other editors' views on the matter aside from his own. Passed 5 to 1 at 03:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
WTF?!?!?! Sources are black or white, what's that bullshit? If the source says something and it's realiable, it can be used. If the source doesn't say something, we can't pretend that it does. They're flat out wrong!!
I think you got railroaded ala Fram and think you should appeal to a higher level than the arbs and get this reversed! Wekeepwhatwekill (talk) 13:28, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Hey Curly Turkey, I just saw that you are done for now. Yeah, me too; I have dropped way off. Too dramatic here. I still check in and make occasional edits sometimes, so I hope you do too. See you around. —Prhartcom♥ 04:32, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

miss you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:14, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you today for Love It to Death, "about the Alice Cooper band's breakthrough album, which took them from mere chicken-slaughtering infamy to pop superstardom—within two years they'd be rivaling Led Zeppelin in ticket sales, and would leave a lasting influence on punk, hard rock, and metal"! - To death: just received the call that a cousin died. Life is too short, miss her, and you. Flowers. I just wrote Alte Liebe. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 14 February 2020 (UTC)

Wrecking Crew article and FA
Curly Turkey, I know that you have been retired—I haven't been very active myself lately. But, I should start doing more here again. I thought I'd ask for your advice if you wouldn't mind. I know that you had advised me awhile back to seek FA on a shorter article, first, before I try to tackle something as large and difficult as the Garage rock article. I was thinking that the Wrecking Crew article might be a good place to start. It is currently GA. I was wondering if you think it has good prospects for FA and, if so, what improvements it would need to get there.
Also, I want to thank you for all of the generous help you gave me. It meant so much. I am aware that you had some issues that prompted your decision to retire—this can be a very frustrating place sometimes. But, I also want to thank you for all you have done here. I can guarantee that your significant contributions are deeply appreciated by many and that you are greatly missed. Garagepunk66 (talk) 04:09, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
Wonderful!
Ran across your Hokkoku Goshiki-zumi article; it's excellent! Sorry to see you're gone. --Falcorian 00:14, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
User:Curly Turkey/Cite comics
Hello Curly Turkey. Would you be agreeable to deleting User:Curly Turkey/Cite comics? The reason I ask is that the "template" isn't used for anything real, and where it is used, it's causing lint errors including Missing end tags and Misnested tag with different rendering in HTML5 and HTML4. It hasn't been worked on in eight years. Can we either fix the lint errors or delete it? —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:08, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Ukiyo-e
Heya - saw your edits over at Ukiyo-e. I wanted to let you know, as the editor who originally added those {{transl}} tags, it's never been my objective to be "sloppy"; before I added them to the article, I think a number of instances of the word "ukiyo-e" had been italicised, and in the interests of caution, I made the decision to place all instances of the word in language tags.
I ought to have checked a dictionary to see if the word had become loanword enough not to need a language tag, and I'm sorry I got it wrong. However, I try my best to improve Misplaced Pages articles - including their accessibility, and I try my best to raise awareness of this with other editors, as well. Rather than careless italicisation - and I myself have run into some instances of that recently, like reference tags with italics around them - I wanted to make it at least clear that I had the goal of accessibility in mind, and hedged my bets, if this makes sense.
I apologise; I'll be more cautious in the future. --Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 10:27, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- As for the {{Nihongo}} tags in the main body of the text - I'm pretty sure I added most of those in as well. Again, my goal wasn't to "clutter up" or "invade" the main body of the text, nor to "undo others' hard work" - it was merely bringing it in line with a number of other Japanese culture articles I've edited, wherein transliterated terms, their kanji and their translation are kept as one within the text within a single template.
- I apologise again - I know that foreign language terms can either be kept as footnotes or within the text. I simply did what I editorially thought to be best practice, based on my editing history and having never run into any issues containing Japanese language terms within the text before. -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 10:36, 8 May 2021 (UTC)

my story today |

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2015): "Chester Brown got over his anxiety and guilt over his obsessive masturbating by drawing it for the world to see. He now advocates prostitution to replace traditional sexual relations. It all begins here, along with graphic depictions of Brown's peculiar masturbation style. Clearly this is the article editors will be tumbling over each other to review." - Those were the days. We miss you. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:53, 23 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm The Banner. I noticed that you made a comment on the page Talk:Holocaust victims that didn't seem very civil, so it may have been removed. Misplaced Pages is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. The Banner talk 10:37, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- You're really motherfucking dedicated to provoking an unfortunate response, you motherfucking troll. Keep the fuck off my talk page. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 10:40, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Some admins might block you for that comment alone, CT. I'm not going to; it would take more than that for me to block you for cussing somebody out on your own page. But your personal attacks and assumptions of bad faith on Talk:Holocaust victims are beyond the pale. You have been blocked for 72 hours. You can request unblock from an uninvolved administrator by placing {{unblock|your reason here}} on this page. Bishonen | tålk 10:56, 8 June 2024 (UTC).
- Will The Banner's disruptions and provocations be dealt with? He apparently has a history of this stuff, and I did call out for help dealing with it. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 11:01, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- If there are provocations, you're supposed to help yourself by not rising to them. I don't see any obvious provocations at Talk:Holocaust victims, though. Posting a mealy-mouthed warning template intended for newbies on this page is pretty provocative, though, which is part of the reason I'm not (much) objecting to your response to it. Bishonen | tålk 11:20, 8 June 2024 (UTC).
- Please use your own words in a situation like this, The Banner. Bishonen | tålk 11:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC).
- Bishonen: Misplaced Pages needs to prioritize dealing with disruptive behaviour. Everything The Banner did in this interaction was aiming at this outcome, including an accusation of "personal attacks" before I said anything that could be interpreted as such. Surely you don't want to enable such bad behaviour. This will only encourage him to do it again, and he already has a history of edit warring and aggressive interactions. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 11:24, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- And now The Banner is making a point of posting a provocative response to that discussion, knowing I can't respond. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 12:22, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- I stated a fact. The Banner talk 12:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- This ("no improvement, the quote was accurate.") this, and this are proof that you would've made the reverts regardless, so, no, it would not have "settled the matter with removing two characters".
- But you win your game, The Banner. You can fuck with people as you please, and the admins will even help you. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 20:45, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
- Floquenbeam Re: "deal"—I'm not unretired, and wasn't even going to be here tomorrow. Instead of offering a "deal", why not "deal" with the editwarring troll who will be here tomorrow, instead of blocking whoever he successfully baits into f-bombing? Now emboldened with a fresh success. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 11:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Bishonen may have a different take, but my own thought is: When you're snarking back and forth with someone else at levels 1 and 2, and then you break out a level 10 response, it's really hard to deal with the other editor "equally". I'm afraid you went too far over the top for something to happen to the other editor now. I usually instinctively sympathize with a person being baited into something - if nothing else, their soul is less slimey - but ... not at this level of disproportionality.
- The only remaining concern I have is if you two had a previous history. If so, those reverts start looking less confused and more calculated. Floquenbeam (talk) 17:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- There was no "snark" until The Banner had thoroughly stonewalled the "discussion", so the root issue has nothing to do with language.
- "it's really hard to deal with the other editor "equally"": Who said anything about "equally"? How about "appropriately", so he doesn't think he can get away with this stuff again?
- "I'm afraid you went too far over the top for something to happen to the other editor now"—meaning a troll gets off if they are sufficiently successful. No wonder they get away with this stuff so frequently here.
- It's like the admins want the project to fail. Curly "JFC" Turkey 🍁 ¡gobble! 02:23, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
