Hi.

Re: Editor Review:Cbrown1023

Sure. When you add a fair use image, you need to explain why you believe the image is legally include by claiming fair use. Usually this includes different "rationales", like "There is no free version available of this image", "It is being used to illustrate a point in the article, and not only decoration", "It is not possible to misuse the image due its low resolution, small size, while at the same time presents invaluable information for the article", "It does not prevent the copyright holder from exploiting the product illustrated by the image", "The image presents a unique point of view that is not possible to illustrate in prose", etc. If you check, in example, {{album}} you will read To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use In other words, for every article the image is being used, you need to explain why you believe it can be used. In example, see Image:Goldmoon.jpg and Image:GoldmoonRiverwind.jpg for some idea about what to do. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 02:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, all the rationale seems appropriate. I also suggest to tag Image:PerfectScoreDVDCover.jpg and Image:Theoutsidershinte.jpg with {{orfud}} (don't forget to substitute it) because they aren't being used in any article (fair use images not currently in use should be speedy deleted). Also, when you upload images from Amazon, add the full URL to the image and to the page containing the image, and use the {{Amazonimages}} on the image (along with the fair use tag) to indicate the image has been picked from Amazon. And if the image has some kind of watermark (like a "30% off" label), use the {{imagewatermark}} template as well. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 19:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I did all that you have suggested. I must thank you, your attitude has been very friendly and you have been very helpful! :) Cbrown1023 02:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding User talk:Kylu

Please remove any taunts from the AOL IP vandal from Kylu's talkpage when you come across them, instead of replying. Kylu's told me (in person) that she has no interest in replying to him anymore. Please see WP:DENY for the reasoning. She says, "Thanks for trying, though! I appreciate it!" Aquene 03:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Stub - Start

You are right. The stub-start distinction can get pretty tricky. I usually don't know the films and I read the plot and if I get a fairly good idea, provided infobox, awards, cast or reception are there, I can consider it Start. Subjective may be here how far one needs to go to get a "fairly good idea". I won't get into random reassessing, but when I bump into something obvious, I give it a hand up or down.

Nelson - Marek

Hi.

I saw your vote to delete my article regarding Nelson - Marek yacht designers. Please reconsider your position in light of two things: (1) further editing to the article and sunstantial refereences, and (2) the proposal and suggested criteria for deletion are based on the criteria for a "corporation"; however, Nelson - Marek was a design team and should be evaluated on their contrubution to yachting and yacht design, not their standing as a corporation. Note that the editor citing search results is using "Merek" rather than "Marek" in the searches.

Thanks!

Kevin Murray 01:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but my decision still stands as delete. Cbrown1023 01:36, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Please consider the notability of Bruce Nelson and Bruce Marek in their contribution to yacht design racing. How does their importance in society compare to actors such as: Luke Benward, Adam Hicks, Austin Rogers, Philip Bolden, and Andrew Gillingham, about whom you have written articles? This is not to belittle your contributions which are important to you and many other people, but please don't belittle what I have contributed which may be of equal importance to myself and others who share a passion for yacht racing. If you are unsure of this issue, please remove your vote rather than oppose my article.

Thanks.

Kevin Murray 02:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from rudely commenting about my contributions, if you comment on them to improve Misplaced Pages or my editng skills, that is one thing and I will take those to heart. But if you are just doing it to prove a weak point, then just don't. I created those articles because they needed to be created, if you feel they should be deleted, place take it up at WP:AfD, I would not vote for their keep. Futhermore, please do not contact me again on this matter, as stated twice, my decision stands as delete. But please feel free to contact me on any other future matter on my talk page. Cbrown1023 02:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Even though my vote is delete, the fact that you are working this hard to bring the article up shows that you are a good editor. Cbrown1023 03:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your kind thoughts. I am sorry that my last note offended you - not my intent. I respect what you are doing trying to protect Misplaced Pages from being junky. Please keep up your good work. Are you a sailor?

Kevin Murray 03:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Lol :)... sorry, but no I am not a sailor. :( Cbrown1023 03:43, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

The Breakfast Club

Thank you for taking the initiative to change the cultural impact section of that article from list to prose. If at any time you become bored with that task or for some other reason do not wish to continue, feel free to add it back. Thanks and have a great day or night. :) Cbrown1023 03:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'd like to re-write the whole article again. A film with such an impact deserves a better article. I'll use other FAs on films as a reference. Since I'll be working on it for a while, I decided to join the project. :) Nat91 03:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow. Good luck! :) You may want to consider putting templates on their such as {{rewrite}}, {{editing}}, or {{underconstruction}} so that users know that you are rewriting. You could also make it on a sub-page of your user page. Thanks! Cbrown1023 14:27, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Ahem....

Housekeeping! Template:CineVoter I was previously unaware of Portal:Film.... do you think we should add something about the Collaboration of the week to that page? For that matter, shouldn't there be something about WikiProject Films on the Cinema Collaboration of the Week page? TheMadBaron 18:33, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

The film portal probably shouldn't have anything about our collaboration, because if you look at the bottom, there is a list of like 6 other projects and some of them have their own collaborations (or are currently working on it). Cbrown1023 22:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

For the Cin Collab page, we should have a navigation bar, like WP:WPBIO, but you could also put a link to it at the top. Like < Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Films Cbrown1023 22:10, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks for the gift-userbox you left on my talk page. Unfortunately I'm a bit ascetic regarding my user page - I prefer my edit history to speak for me. But nonetheless, the sentiment is appreciated! Many thanks as well for copying the Filmmaking template - I think that's the first time anyone's ever cloned my design (which you already have noted is a bastardization of WP Bio). I don't know which colors would work best for your tastes, but all I can say is that I'd prefer it to be recognizably distinct from WP Filmmaking. That's my only request - I'll leave the rest to you and the community. Best of luck and keep up your excellent work, Girolamo Savonarola 23:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

V for Vendetta

Hello, I'm 217.235.250.66. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please take my changes seriously. See the discussion on Talk:V for Vendetta. Please assume good faith. Also, your change destroyed content, please take better care next time.

Please take notice of my changes to your talk page first. It is also considered polite that you substituted warning templates by placing subst: before the name. Once again please get an account and do not disrupt Misplaced Pages to make a point. Cbrown1023 22:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed. What's your point? --217.235.250.66

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

meta:Don't be a dick

I always assume good faith and your personal attacks and rudeness may get you blocked. Cbrown1023 22:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

These are not personal attacks. It's the only way IPs are taken serious. You ignore the discussion on /Talk and delete my contributions without even trying to discuss. That's vandalism, so you get warned.

Please just stop being a dick (I bet you didn't check out any of the links I put up). You are the one who is vandalising, I will post at ANI if you continue. As I stated in my summary, please feel free to re-add your conent but not change the item back to list-form. Also, reverting (to a degree) an article to FA status is not vandalism considering an FA is considered "complete". Cbrown1023 22:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I try to improve the article, you are blindly reverting, admittedly not even caring whether you destroy other's contributions. Please AGF and respect the discussion on /Talk. And if you want to revert to FA, do that; don't pick what should be changed after FA and what shouldn't. --217.235.250.66

Oh, and: Posting some links is something like an Appeal to Authority, nothing more. I might be a dick, but not because you say so, and not in this instance. Take me seriously, AGF, and all will be good. --217.235.250.66

As stated previously, I do assume good faith. But when my assumption is challenged by rudeness and your inability to wait until a disscussion is over to change things, then good faith can no longer be asserted. Also, if you seem to feel that guidelines and policies are just an "appeal to authority", then you should not be editing Misplaced Pages. Cbrown1023 23:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

The change was done after the discussion started, so what's your point?

meta:Don't be a dick is a Misplaced Pages guideline? You are surely joking.

If I sound rude then I apologize. This is about the article. --217.235.250.66

The discussion you are referring to is about a completely different section. Yes the don't be a dick one is not a guideline, but it is a courtesy and widely accepted. It goes hand in hand with AGF. If you "don't be a dick" then it will be easy for me to "assume good faith". It also does not matter if it is after the discussion has started it is after it has ended. Cbrown1023 23:23, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Misplaced Pages without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Misplaced Pages.
