Welcome. I placed the welcome message above on your talk page because I saw you edited a page that is in my watchlist and you had redlinks for both your user and user talk pages (and indicator that you are probably a new editor.)
You requested an article move. According to the WP:MOS the name would have each word capitalized only if it would be written that way in a normal sentence. I looked through some of the references but couldn't find a use of it to see if it is a proper noun. Actually, none of the references seem to refer to it making it's notability unverified at this time. RJFJR ( talk) 18:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Thankyou RJFRJ. This method of messaging (editing your message) seems slightly odd, is it ok? The title did not feel correct as it was written, not being a language expert I searched French New Wave (an equivalent) and it is capitalized, at least on wikipedia, so I presume that the change is correct. As for the movements notability, it will take me time to build up this article as firstly I am very slow at this, learning as I go, and secondly the references (to pncm) are emerging slowly. By all means doubt, but give this some time as it is a work in progress (mostly by me, and I am snowed under with other less charitable work) but it is not self serving hype. Which brings me to something I would like to discuss further. I am interested by which page is in your watchlist, especially if it's the Lollywood page, or maybe I should say more accurately whether you are interested in pages that refer to film in Pakistan. The reason being that this is where I have entered wikipedia as an editor because of my own work, and also where I know there to be a galaxy of notability problems and inaccuracies. Films and filmmakers are undergoing a struggle with hype because of it's nature, desirability, digital image acquisition and the internet. It is actually unique in the disparity between the claims (long awaited, award winning big budget etc) of wannabes (for want of a better kinder word) and the facts as pertain to productions both completed and in progress. Part of the reason for this is complexity of what happens to films after they are made and the intrinsic nature of such a unique mass medium. Upshot is, I have a vested interest so would not feel comfortable editing claims by people I know or know of, but I am interested in accuracy and fairness and would like to know how to deal with this and also discuss specifically the special case of films. It could for instance be appropriate to restrict listings or mentions of films that are completed and or listed in a strictly checked forum like IMDB. What do you think? Maybe if this isn't an area of interest you could point me, thanks. Filmmaker2011 ( talk) 20:51, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia:No legal threats in relation to these two edits [1] [2]. Are you serious about seeking legal action against these IP adresses? Yoenit ( talk) 09:26, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I have taken the liberty of removing the legal threats from the warnings that you administered; typically, contributors are blocked so long as legal threats are outstanding, and I think that would be very much the wrong approach in this case. :)
Legal threats are not allowed on Wikipedia because they are often used to quell legitimate disagreements over editing. They have a chilling effect on the community. This situation is obviously different, particularly with this edit, which can not have been intended constructively. Nevertheless, legal action must be pursued elsewhere and should not be made to seem any kind of official proclamation from Wikipedia. You are free to follow your legal remedies against these individuals, if police are able to help you, but there is no need to notify them of this through Wikipedia, particularly as there is a good chance that the person to actually see those notes may be a different person altogether, with no idea what you're talking about. You can imagine how encouraged you might feel to edit Wikipedia if you received a message of that sort, not understanding that a prior user of that IP address had left potentially libelous vandalism.
Our practice with libel is precisely what you have done: to remove the material or revert it and to caution the contributor. In some cases of severe vandalism, we may delete the revision from history entirely so that it may not be viewed by anyone but system administrators or, in even more serious cases, suppress it so that even most system administrators cannot read it. I have not pursued either of these options here because if you have notified police, it will not aid them in their investigation if they can't see the material as it was. If you feel at some point that it is no longer needed for investigation, please let me know, and I will delete it from history.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "the search summary". Do you mean an external search engine retaining the vandalism in the article? If so, deleting the article will not speed the removal of the vandalism from those search engines. Google, as well as other search engines, update their database by "crawling" sites, including Wikipedia, periodically. They are not updated in real time, and thus they may continue to carry content that has already been removed from Wikipedia. This situation goes on until they "crawl" Wikipedia again, which typically occurs every two weeks or more frequently (the exact period depends on the search engine). The same problem applies to both the search results and the remotely retained copies provided by some search engines (including Google). Wikipedia itself has no control over what appears on Google or other search engines, so you do have to deal with them directly. The good news is that, once vandalism is repaired, you can request that the search engine's cache and description be updated quickly; with Google, the steps are at [3].
Since there is no pattern of abuse in this article, it is possible that this was a one-time piece of nastiness that will not be repeated. However, if it is, we have the option of "semiprotecting" the article for a time so that only registered users can edit it. This does not eliminate determined vandalism, but it makes it much easier to control, as any would-be vandal will have to register for an account and pass an editing threshold before being able to alter that article. Then, if they vandalize it, they can be blocked, forcing them to start the process all over again. This is an investment of time that seems to quickly grow wearisome for those who are not dedicated to it.
If you encounter any more problems of this sort, please feel free to let me know or to raise the matter at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. Wikipedia is very interested in helping ensure that this kind of abuse of its system does not go unchecked. We just have to make sure that we do so within the allowances of our policies and guidelines. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:44, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
Thank you, incredibly you covered everything that had concerned me about this, and I am fine that you removed the threat, it was just the only way I could think of to discourage this from happening again. Actually the IP's server was from a large institution at which I have taught, and so that both gave me confidence that I could get information. However the reality here is that whilst the 'law' (both police and courts) do not have a good reputation, ironically the threat of action is quite effective as it can be fast tracked if you have any authority and this won't rest on the existence of evidence!. Upshot is that I would rather that this edit is removed from the history if possible, as it's existence is potentially more damaging to me than any loss of potential legal recourse. The method you outlined is fine and I will just let you know if it happens again. The search summary I was referring to was I think from Wikipedia's own internal search engine, but the result is the same and it has been updated today so it's no longer a problem. One other thing, in my area of activity (guess what that is!) there is a specific problem with individuals (mostly students again) that have been making articles on themselves can I point these towards an admin, I don't feel it would be fair or wise (case in point) for me to edit personal pages of people I know or know of. Thanks again. -- Filmmaker2011 ( talk) 18:50, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
{{
Notability|Biographies}}
(the curly brackets must be included; you may already know this, but I'm unsure how experienced you are with Wikipedia markup, and I'd rather make you roll your eyes by telling you the obvious than leave you confused by failing to tell you what you need to know :)). This will alert the article's creator and other editors that there may be notability concerns. It may lead to improving the sources or to somebody else nominating the article for deletion. If there is notability, but you are concerned that the conflict of interest may cause neutrality concerns or problems with verifiability, you can add {{
autobiography}} or {{
coi}} to the articles. Again, these will alert the contributor to issues while at the same time inviting others to review the articles. This shouldn't really constitute any kind of conflict on your part, so long as you leave addressing the matter up to somebody else. If an article fails to even so much as suggest that an individual has encyclopedic significance, you can also tag it {{
db-A7}}, which will invite an administrator to review the article and, if he agrees, to delete it.#REDIRECT [[Witchcraft#Africa]]
{{R with possibilities}})
), and add the article you think needs to exist.I've missed it or even to prevent my missing it. There is a template you can use to help somebody find a reply at your own talk page: {{

. That tells somebody they have a message at your talkpage. Looks like this:

Hello Filmmaker2011. I saw your post about the auteur theory. I am not sure how much response you will get so I wanted to suggest that you contact User:WickerGuy and see if he would be interested in looking into your request. He does in depth work on numerous film articles and is aces at researching things to finding references that meet WikiP's standards. Having said that I can't guarantee that he will be a) have the time to look into it or b) agree with your assessment of what should and should not be in the article I just know that he will be thorough. Of course you are also free to ignore this. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 01:37, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
