IP user and plot summaries

Late yesterday (UTC) I notified another editor of "Some troubles on your watchlist, maybe" . In reply I was directed to your archive for March 30/31 this year, namely Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Film/Archive 56#IP user and plot summaries. At least User:Flyer22 had previously engaged this person (multiple "2600" IP addresses, one person evidently in the pattern of work including edit summaries).

Contributions by user 2600:1006:B107:50A:B54A:54DC:4A42:DE45 covers a single 200-minute session 2015-05-10 quite destructive in some cases. The big changes reported in red primarily concern plot summaries. Some of the articles have not been changed subsequently (labeled "current" in that report) and I suppose that some others of the massive deletions remain intact. The High King is a novel I know and I reverted its change 15 hours go. I don't know any of the others by title, nor anything of this WikiProject or any that concerns TV or video game "moving pictures".

Looks like it's this guy again: User:NinjaRobotPirate/Plot blanker. I'm trying to track his movements a bit. He usually geolocates to Orlando, Florida, US, on a Verizon Wireless IP address. The IP address is usually 2600:1006:B1xx, but there's a lot of variation – too much for a range block. I'm thinking that an edit filter might be the best solution, but I can't think of a good one offhand. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Update: I went through and reverted his edits. I also streamlined a few of the plots. I can't understand why he keeps removing random paragraphs like that. I wrote a user essay, User:NinjaRobotPirate/How to streamline a plot summary, partially in response to this. I dunno if anyone will ever read it, but it made me feel better to write it.

I've been wiki light for so long I don't even know if you'll remember me but I've been watching this same person off and on for a while, as well. I hit a few reverts in the last few minutes (and now I have that annoying chore of going back to restore the good edits I had to revert past) and I've put your talk subpage about it on my watchlist. If it comes up again, it might be worth mentioning that the IP also removes maintenance tags rather willy nilly. I'm in and out due to stupid real life but if this guy hits again and you need some help, feel free to message me either on my talk page or via email. Happy to help. Plot summaries are my jam, as they say. :p Millahnna (talk) 21:29, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Max film, dog star

The star of movie MAX is not a German Shepard, he is a Belgian Malinois. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.28.107 (talk) 18:44, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Request for assistance

Greetings. I have been having some trouble locating reliable reviews for the 1999 film Zapatista. I don't frequently edit film articles, so I was wondering whether any regulars watching this page would be willing to help me. At this stage I'm not even certain that it meets GNG, but its political nature, and the fact that it features interviews from Noam Chomsky and is narrated by Edward James Olmos suggests to me that it should. Any assistance would be appreciated. Regards, Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Commentary on sexist, misogynistic and/or anti-feminist feelings at Mad Max: Fury Road article

Opinions are needed on the following matter: Talk:Mad Max: Fury Road#Should commentary on sexist, misogynistic and/or anti-feminist feelings be included? A WP:Permalink for it is here. Flyer22 (talk) 00:07, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Film poster Italian vs. American

What film poster should be used for this article (Mill of the Stone Women)? There is a discussion on File talk:Mill of the Stone Women.jpg here after a few reverts. Andrzejbanas (talk) 21:55, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

The Dissolve

The Dissolve, which has been referenced in a few dozen film articles for its reviews, is shutting down. We should web-archive the relevant references. Does anyone know if there is a way to automate this? This shows where The Dissolve is referenced. Erik II (talk | contrib) 14:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

List of James Bond films

List of James Bond films is marked as a FA, but from a visual perspective, it really does not look nearly as good as even most GA I've seen. The navigation is horribly not user-friendly. In addition, the latest edits to this article eliminated the distinction between EON and non-EON films. I'm not really involved with the editing of this article, but I did want to know if this is just my subjective opinion that this article is not FA quality at the moment. --Gonnym (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

It looked like this when it was first promoted on December 4, 2011. (You can see this information on the list article's talk page.) It's definitely different now. Erik II (talk | contrib) 16:57, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, the plots were separated from the table at my suggestion a couple of years ago IIRC because on smaller resolution displays they bloated the table too much. On an ipad for instance you'd get about three rows on the screen. It made sense to me to just have the statistical data in the table and make it more compact. I agree we need to have a greater distinction between the Eon series and the independents. By the way, it is a featured list, not a featured article and they tend to have very different aesthetics i.e. lists seem to be monopolised by tables and have less emphasis on prose.
