Removal of red links

I noticed that you removed several red links from Margaret Colin. Please review the guidelines for red links. They can often be useful, because even thought the article does not exist today, it may exist in the near future, and the existence of the red link may encourage an editor to create the article.--rogerd (talk) 04:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Kim Raver

Hello! I have reverted your edit here to Kim Raver, which converted a filmography table to a list. I am not sure why you did this? Filmography tables are preferred to lists in Misplaced Pages articles of actors. Please see WP:ACTOR for more information on this. If you have, by chance, done this to other actor filmographies, I ask that you please revert your edits. In addition, I suggest that you start using edit summaries with your edits. This will allow other editors to understand your intentions. Thanks! --Logical Fuzz (talk) 00:42, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Alina Foley

Hello. I have again reverted one of your edits here to Alina Foley, which converts a filmography table to a list. As I have already mentioned, filmography tables are preferred to lists. Please see WP:ACTOR for more information. You have not explained why you are doing this, but I am again asking you to stop. Thank you. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 03:06, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Adrianne Leon

As per my previous 2 posts, I have also reverted your edits here to Adrianne Leon, again converting tables to lists. Please stop, you are taking filmographies backwards. Thanks. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 03:18, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Anna Belknap

Hello! Thank you for your recent edits to the page Anna Belknap -- it's important that you know, however, that when you add anything to an article which is a biography of a living person you absolutely must include a citation. Misplaced Pages has quite stringent rules about biographies, and citations to reliable sources is extremely important. Thank you, and happy editing!

Sorry About That

I want to apologize for reverting your edits twice on Sidney Prescott. My mistake, I had heard that Green had been cast as Sydney's cousin, but when I heard Roberts I suspected vandalism. Again sorry about that. Sami50421 (talk) 19:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop converting filmography tables to lists

Please stop converting filmography tables to lists, as you just did here to Katrina Bowden. You have been asked to stop this several times already. I am unsure of what the problem is with understanding this concept, and you have refused to comment. Filmography tables are preferred to lists as per the guidelines at WP:ACTOR. You are taking Misplaced Pages backwards with these edits. If you continue to do this, it might be considered vandalism and may lead to you being blocked from Misplaced Pages.

I am also going to request AGAIN that you use edit summaries with your edits. This will allow other editors to better understand your intentions. Thanks. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 22:59, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

I have to support this warning. Absolutely please stop removing the tabling from articles. If you persist, it will be treated as vandalism. It is completely inappropriate for you to act to remove this work by other editors to a stark listing. I'm not at all sure what makes you think this is appropriate editing, but you're completely wrong. In addition, I noted that you have a habit of adding birth names to the lead of articles. Please don't do that either. It is proper to mention birth names in the early life section, but not in the lead sentence. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:14, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

And another point, the word is spelling CAREER, not CARRER. Please make an effort to spell additions correctly. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:28, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

I support the conversion of filmography tables to lists

• Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers#Filmography RFC
• Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers#Tabled vs. bulleted list non-consensus

You're free to ignore the two editors posting above and their mischaracterization of what's been discussed at dat wikiproject. The consensus, after much discussion, is split. And the half dozen or so speaking in favor of using tables amount to a local consensus, which isn't one, really; see: WP:CONLIMITED and WP:Filmographies, which specifically recommends lists.

Also, this is an editorial issue and in no way involves WP:VANDALISM. WHL knows better and it is pretty rich for her to be asking after better edit summaries when she's quite remiss regarding those. Jack Merridew 02:48, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Don't be a dick, Jack. First, you are talking out your ass. I did not ask for better edit summaries, so keep your false assumptions right where they belong. Pick a place, I don't care. Take a minute in your wikistalking to at least attribute comments to the person who made them. I'm sick and tired of your wikistalking me and you and your cohort Chowbok sticking your nose into comments on other editor's talk pages. There is NO consensus for anyone to go about removing the work of other editors just because you pushed your POV about tables to a discussion. Local consensus my ass. Jack Merridew snowing discussion to push a personal preference, maybe. It is vandalism when an editor goes about arbitrarily removing work by other editors. This editor is NOT free to ignore comments posted to her talk page. Your pushing your POV this way across talk pages of editors whom you do not know is a very pointy and improper action on your part. As an administrator-wannabe, you should know that. Get a grip, Jack, also, where I don't care. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
