| :Hi, I would belatedly (I've been unable to log into my account for over a year) like to protest this and request to undo the deletion. No, this would obviously not be on GBooks or Gnews or Gscholar as all of these resources are heavily Anglo- and West-centered, and in any case Russia in the 1990s was a mess, and not integrated into any of these (nor can most of the media from that era be found on the internet). There needs to be a sanity check - the ORFAF was the main film festival of the Russian animation community, and in the 1990s was basically the only one (there was also KROK in Ukraine, but that was an international one that just also happened to accept a lot of Russian animated films). Look at the - Fyodor Hitruk, Eduard Nazarov, Yuriy Norshteyn - all of them very famous directors who'd won many international awards. No, it's not very easy to find sources that are not from the website of the festival itself, due to the abovementioned issues - I found a short blurb and some video footage . But there in all the contemporary sources, there is no question that the event happened and of the importance of the festival in those years. The awards from that year are mentioned in the films' profiles on ]. ] (]) 00:16, 28 December 2021 (UTC) | |||

| Also, I want to mention that I oppose the use of question marks, blank sections and statements like "not currently known" in Misplaced Pages articles.

| Hi Esn! I was reading the article for Phyllis Eisenstein's ], and checked the file of the cover image, which you uploaded (thanks for that), in the hope of identifying the artist.* (I'm cataloguing my copy of the book in my rather extensive collection.) | |||
| Hi, I notice that you've been doing some good word categorizing animators, and thought I might just pop in to suggest that in the future you use ] instead of ], as the latter uses incorrect capitalisation. Additionally, gwhen a parent category has been subdivided, articles don't have to appear in the parent cat, only the subcat. So something that is in ] shouldn't also go in ].

| ==List of Comedy Films Question== | |||
| Doubtless you copypasted the boilerplate from another entry and forgot to change the title (easily done). In case anyone were to raise a quibble in the future, you might want to correct it. | |||
| You have done a good job contributing to this list and I was wondering if it would be better if we combined the short Comedy films into the feature length films and call them something different? I don't think it is necessary that the two be split apart. Of course, I should probably mention this on the talk page first, but I want to hear your opinion about it first. I am also wondering since we divided the films into single years if we should make those subheadings, which would obviously make the Contents box much longer. Let me know what you think or if there should be any other changes as well. Keep up the good work. --] 03:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| Regards, {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} | |||
| I believe you have more knowledge in the early 1900 films then I do, so let's go with what you want to do. I may have added some of the films from the short Comedy films to the main feature films, so I'll go through them later and remove them if necessary. I was wondering also if it would be better to convert the single year headings into the Contents subheadings. For example it is set now for 1991 as ''']''' and I think it should be set up as ===]===. This way, users and visitors can just click on the individual year if they wanted to from the Contents box instead of a decade. ] 03:48, 24 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

However, I'm sure just me and you will be the only ones that will really take notice of it, so we'll see how well received the idea is. I'm going to go ahead and change the headings, if after it has been changed you think it should go back to the way it was, let me know. --] 04:01, 24 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

It might save you some controversy in the future to link to that discussion in your edit comments whenever you change "humourous" to "humorous" if possible - as you said there, it is quite a common spelling on wikipedia. Perhaps that is where I subconsciously picked it up, or perhaps I simply thought it illogical that the commonwealth adjective would use the American spelling as its base. Anyway, thanks for correcting me. I've been using "publically" too - I'm just a trove of bad spelling habits, I guess. I do have a suspicion that those two spelling variations (or errors) are becoming more widespread than they were in the past. The exact location of the line that something has to cross until it ceases being a spelling error and becomes a regional spelling variation has always been a bit murky to me, but I guess I'll leave that one to the experts to figure out (even if I have the nagging suspicion that they haven't got a clue either).

| == chess terms == | |||
| Actually you'd be surprised at how many languages retain antique names for chess pieces. Of course what's more interesting than the russian retention of elephant, is how it got to be elephant in the first place. From persian ''pil'' meaning chess piece, to ''fil'' in arabic (arabic lacks /p/) and add to the beginning the definite article al-, you get ''alfil'', which we can easily see going in the ears of a romance speaker who hated pesky consonant clusters to ''alefa'' which sounded close enough to greek elephantos. Weirder still, in French, this sound ended up as ''aufil'', which later was replaced by ''fou'' which means (like english fool) crazy or mad, and then transferred BACK to greek, who doesn't use the same sound, but uses the same semantic to name their bishop. I have a great book ''мир шахматных фигур'' <s>(world of chess pieces)</s>. It goes over the etymologies in great detail.--] 07:36, 20 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == My Criteria == | |||
| I'll go through my reasoning as best I can. It's based off ]. | |||
| From the ], a film article should have: infobox, lead, plot, cast, production/background, reception, notes, references, and trivia sections. The assessment measures how close an article is to this standard. | |||
| First there are those articles that are clearly stubs. They have anywhere from less than a sentence to a paragraph, or they might be just an infobox. Or they could be an infobox plus a lead (as many French and Korean films are). | |||
| Starts need to have at least one complete section (usually the plot) or multiple partially completed sections. I don't think that a full cast, trivia, awards, or soundtrack section really constitute an article unless the plot is mentioned in the lead and there is an infobox. Without an infobox a start should have a full lead, plot, and cast section. | |||
| Sometimes an article is borderline. When an article is not wikified properly, one needs to read through it to see if there are short sections or paragraphs that detail the plot, cast, reception, and production. For wikified articles, the difficult ones are those with a lead, infobox, short plot, and short cast sections. I'll usually err on the side of start for these. It is important not to just jump down, see the stub template and mark it as such (I've changed a few where other editors must have done that). | |||
| B articles are relatively rare. The major determinant is whether a ''majority'' of material is present. If everything but a production/background section are present and fleshed out, the article will be a B. I have rated some starts where I think to myself, "This is a strong start and would be a B if there was anything about the production or reception." | |||
| These are not hard and fast, but rather guidelines that need to be adjusted for short films and animationed films and other sorts of articles, like concert films. One final thing: there are a good deal of articles that combine the book and the movie or the play and the movie. I look solely at the movie section, and this often results in an anime film recieving a B from the anime project and a start or stub from me. If you want anything clarified, let me know and I'll try to be more clear. It also might be easier to understand if you pick a few films and have me explain how I arrived at their rating.--] 19:48, 16 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

Proposed deletion of 2nd Open Russian Festival of Animated Film
The article 2nd Open Russian Festival of Animated Film has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Misplaced Pages:General notability guideline and the more detailed Misplaced Pages:Notability (companies)/] requirements. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. At best this can be redirected to Open Russian Festival of Animated Film. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page here in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back through WP:ECHO or by leaving a note at User talk:Piotrus. Thank you.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- Hi, I would belatedly (I've been unable to log into my account for over a year) like to protest this and request to undo the deletion. No, this would obviously not be on GBooks or Gnews or Gscholar as all of these resources are heavily Anglo- and West-centered, and in any case Russia in the 1990s was a mess, and not integrated into any of these (nor can most of the media from that era be found on the internet). There needs to be a sanity check - the ORFAF was the main film festival of the Russian animation community, and in the 1990s was basically the only one (there was also KROK in Ukraine, but that was an international one that just also happened to accept a lot of Russian animated films). Look at the jury that year - Fyodor Hitruk, Eduard Nazarov, Yuriy Norshteyn - all of them very famous directors who'd won many international awards. No, it's not very easy to find sources that are not from the website of the festival itself, due to the abovementioned issues - I found a short blurb here and some video footage here. But there in all the contemporary sources, there is no question that the event happened and of the importance of the festival in those years. The awards from that year are mentioned in the films' profiles on animator.ru. Esn (talk) 00:16, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

Fair Use Image of The Crystal Palace cover
Hi Esn! I was reading the article for Phyllis Eisenstein's The Crystal Palace, and checked the file of the cover image, which you uploaded (thanks for that), in the hope of identifying the artist.* (I'm cataloguing my copy of the book in my rather extensive collection.)
I noticed that in your Fair Use Rationale, you have entered "It is believed that this image is subject to fair use in the article The Hobbit because . . ."!
Doubtless you copypasted the boilerplate from another entry and forgot to change the title (easily done). In case anyone were to raise a quibble in the future, you might want to correct it.
Regards, {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195}
- * I have now found from the ISFDb that it's Richard Hescox.
