Welcome and vandalism.
Welcome!
Hello, Tromaintern, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Production Costs vs. Marketing Costs
When talking about movie budgets, "budget" conventionally refers to "production costs." It does not refer to "production costs + marketing cost". This is what it means across the board when, say, budget is listed in a film box on a Wiki page, or even when "budget" is mentioned in USA Today. Also, on the "box office bombs" page, this is what budget refers to.
Also, according to Wiki policy, you are not allowed to delete warnings from your own discussion page. You probably didn't know this either, so I'll let it go this time without complaining. 66.159.192.213 12:41, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- Cutting and pasting warnings from your talkpage and placing them onto mine is a form of vandalism. Given the fact that you (and only you) are violating Wiki policy at this point, I have little doubt that the moderator in this forum will mind that I deleted your vandalism.

List of Domestic Bombs Article
Greetings. I wanted to let you know I've reverted your revert to the article noted above. Another user (66.159.192.213) has added a note to the talk page of that article indicating that the numbers given for the film "Slither" include its marketing costs, which apparently differs from the normal standard for whether a movie is considered a "Domestic Bomb" or not. (Only actual production costs are factored into such an assessment.) However, if that's incorrect, you have other information, or there's some other factor that you think contributes to the film's status as a "bomb" (a vague term that should probably be done away with in the first place in an encyclopedia... but I digress) then please let us know on that article's talk page. Thanks. Geeman 01:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:BLP
Could you please reveiew our policies on Conflict of Interest, Biographies of Living Persons and Vandalism, please? I am concerned some of the information you added about Chris Gore were in violation of BLP, and your edit summaries of reverting vandalism were not accurate. Thanks. PouponOnToast 14:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
- Ditto on Bill O'Reilly (commentator) which was a bit more blatant. Bytebear 05:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Commercial use of Image:Gore ortega.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Gore ortega.jpg, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Gore ortega.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Misplaced Pages only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).
If you created this media file and want to use it on Misplaced Pages, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.
If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Misplaced Pages, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.
If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Gore ortega.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:09, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

September 2007
Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we must insist that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Slither (2006 film). Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Liquidfinale 00:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- I hope that you are able to communicate with other editors in the future less snidely. Changing the correct handle, Cuchullain, to the implicitly insulting handle, Cuchullame, is not a learning disability -- it's just an inappropriate parting shot, and I hope you avoid making such shots, parting or otherwise, in future discussions. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 02:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Insults? What insults?? I still haven't the foggiest idea what you are speaking of. Like I said, I just don't spel good.Tromaintern 05:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
Slither
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Slither (2006 film). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors.
