Your recent edits

I'd just like to point out a few things about your recent edits:

Basic Instinct 2

Please don't remove red links. These are red for a reason. If an article is written about that person/term/etc., then the link will automatically turn blue. If the link is red, it also signifies that there is a potential need for an article about that person/term/etc. If these red links are de-linked, then if someone does write an article about that subject, they would have to go around to all the individual articles that may have that subject in them and create links. Please see WP:REDLINK for more on this.

Reefer Madness (2005 film)

Titles of films, television shows, albums, and plays should be in italics. Titles of individual episodes or songs should be in "double quotes". See WP:MOS for more on this.

Female Trouble

Unless it's a title of something, the headings for sections should have a capital letter for the first word and lower case for subsequent words. e.g. External links and not External Links. See WP:MOS for more on this. Dismas| 02:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary. Thank you. Pants 02:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Witch Mountain

Hi, I redirected your recently-created article to the original film's article per notability guidelines for films. A film is not always guaranteed to be made until it enters production, and even in that case, the film could still fail. (The majority of articles of unfinished films are films that entered production and are notable than projects that are discussed and developed, of which there are many.) Hope you understand -- take a look at User:Erik/Link repository#Redirected projects for such examples. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

New Queer Cinema edits

Hi, I just reverted your recent edits to the New Queer Cinema article. Names of people should not be in italics, per the manual of style. Also, having red links in the article is useful as it shows us which articles need to be created. It's a good idea to get rid of red links if the article is never likely to be created, but chances are a director like Munch will have an article soon, and when he does, the New Queer Cinema page will automatically link there.

Stub tags on userpages

I believe you would want to know why I removed the stub tag from your userpage. If you read WP:STUB#Basic_information, it states that a stub is article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information. Your userpage is not an article. Pants 01:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Actor names in italics?

It does not seem common to use italics for names of actors, they are used for titles of films etc., and it is against the current guideline in Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Films/Style_guidelines#Plot. For uniformity, please discuss it first at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines.--Patrick 09:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
