I thought the policy was to move WikiProject Userboxes into their Wikiproject space, and not to userfy them. At least that's how I once understood the outcome of the discussion, but I never looked at it after the whole discussion was concluded. Do you know more of this?
P.S. WP:UM says "All controversial and divisive userboxes, including those currently in Wikipedia:Userboxes will be migrated out of template space into userspace or an appropriate subpage, such as a corresponding WikiProject." I'm not quite sure how it can be controversial or divisive, but I guess someone deemed it so. TheDJ ( talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 14:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

User:Luigi Bob has recently been creating articles on some notable film editors and has brought it to my attention that a stub category doesn't exist for film editors. As film editors are a part of film and help to rid of red links in films please lend your support or opposition at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. There are hundreds not stub categoirzed as editors and there are many many missing from wikipedia and I beleive they are an important part of the film making process. Thanks Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. What do you mean? Template:Film-director-stub Template:Film-producer-stub Template:Cinematographer-stub have existed for a while-the sheer anount of film biogrpahies means that they were split before. I think US screenwriter does as well. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi and thank you for reviewing my Social class in the United States article. I really appreciate your in-depth review and thoughtful suggestions. I have implemented the first 25 on the list and should get around to making all other improvements within the next 48h. Once I'm done, I'll let you know. For today, I'm going to get some sleep. Thanks and best regards, Signature brendel 08:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to review the Formula BMW article for GA. I think the main contributor to that article is on wikibreak at present, which probably explains why none of your points have been addressed. I'll have a stab at fixing them, but was confused by '17 year old' to '17-year-old' - I can't remember ever seeing that usage (although I suspect I would skip over it if I did, so that's hardly conclusive!). Would you mind giving me the link to the appropriate bit of Wiki guidance on it? Ta. 4u1e 18:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for the message regarding my nomination of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for GA status. About the inline citations, although I saw some sporadic "citation needed" tag, there is not any citation problem tags that apply for the whole section/article, and mass removal of content would be unrealistic. Second, myself has done no edit to the article, the reason I nominated it is that it is a former featured article, which itself is highly likely suitable for a GA status as many failed/former FA have been. Anyways, thank you! I will help improving it if I can. Wooyi 20:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have implemented all your suggestions into the article (at least I'm pretty sure I did ;-)). If I have missed something in my clean-up let me know, I'll re-read the article once again tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for being patient. Regards, Signature brendel 07:25, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nehrams, I wanted to let you know that some lists of films are up for deletion: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Categorization#Category:Lists of films with features in common. I'm not sure I like the category, but the lists do have some work in them. Hoverfish Talk 23:22, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nehrams2020. Concering your task list for Ty Cobb, many of the citation requests are already there. Specifically, the quote at the end of many of the paragraphs is the citation for that entire paragraph. For example, "By the time he died, he owned three bottling plants, in Santa Maria, California; Twin Falls, Idaho; and Bend, Oregon; and owned over 20,000 shares of stock." This information is included in the citation listed at the end of that paragraph (i.e. #18). Are you asking that I cite #18 twice in the paragraph? I have some additional questions about items in your list, but time does not permit me to ask those right now so I'll leave a follow-up message. Thought this would be a good start though. Thanks. -- Roswell native 00:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your excellent GA review. We shouldn't have much trouble fixing those issues. -- Steve (Slf67) talk 06:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I have a couple of questions about your comments regarding the article. For example, what do you mean exactly by "The Playing career section needs to be split into more specific sections, as this makes the article not look very broad which is one of the criterion for the GA to pass."? I have talked about his provincial, Super 12, and international career. I havn't split into sections because the article is chronologically based. Is what you want for me to split the career section into sub sections? Or is it to add more information about a particular aspect of his career? I'm kinda confused because of the not look very broad comment. Next thing, I can't find a large amount about him on his early life. He has not had a biography published, and most of the material I used as references were newspaper articles I found on Factiva. Is elaborating on his early life very necessary? If so, what specifically would you like me to add (and find out about him)? Thanks. - Shudda talk 08:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

For what seems like a Herculean effort in adding info boxes, tagging and categorization on a consistent basis and general project coordination. Great WikiKnoming!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC) |
I feel you deserve it. Hey looks like I did a good job on Abbas Kiarostami!! It is now a featured article candidate! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Your welcome. Yes the work on Argentine cinema is going really well - I also think we have just about info boxed those earlier films that were started quickly thanks for your help with that. It really begins to take shape when you see multiple links begining to appear in articles from all of the actors, direcotrs, cinematogrpahers, editors etc that have been started to rid of the red links -those lists help in setting it out. As the films are started it some cool articles are being started like Ada Falcon and Emilio Kauderer. The Ada article is interesting - very strange her disappearing like that! See ya. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, I left the following on the talk page for Oklahoma City bombing as well.
I am conducting a good article review for Oklahoma City bombing. There are some issue I feel the primary editors can address so thus I am not going to fail the article, instead I will put it on hold and wait for the editors to address the issues.
The "On Hold" status will be good for 7 days after which, if these concerns aren't met I will be forced to fail the GA nomination. Thanks for all your work so far. -- A mcmurray 22:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I would like to invite all those who reviewed "Abbas Kiarostami" during last two months to comment on the article at this "final" stage. The article is now featured article candidate. In case you have any comment, please let me know on the Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Abbas Kiarostami page. Thanks . Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:38, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

One pair of templates will create entries identical to the one I use. (I suggest you copy my legend if you use them.) Other templates will provide just a flag or name (nation or province/state).
Thanks sir for rating the Varalaru page.

Usually if the final warning is a day old its already considered stale. The anon you reported had been given its final warning on the 15th. The best thing to do is issue a newer warning, if they vandalize past that then they are due for a block. Many of these IP addresses are shared so that's why current warnings and vandalism is what indicates whether its appropriate to block. ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 17:51, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I am disappointed to see that you chose to fail this article just one week after first reviewing it while I was on a wikibreak and unable to respond to your comments. I also feel that your caveats are a little on the picky side, particularly in comparison to my previous GA articles. I worked my butt off making that article from scratch, with little input from other editors, so I must admit to being slightly biased, so I am willing to attend to them when time allows. I will leave a message for you when it is done. Adrian M. H. 21:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello! I've noticed that you have reassessed two film articles in the last few days. I was wondering if you could take a look at three articles I've had up for reassessment for some time: The Shooting, Planet of the Vampires, and Dementia 13. I would appreciate it. Thank you.- Hal Raglan 18:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
We have fixed an referenced per you GA review. Would you mind revisiting and check that everything is in order. -- Steve (Slf67) talk 02:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
First, thank you for taking the time to write the article review for Swinging. I personally found your comments to be constructive and helpful. You mentioned that the primary criterion for the article not passing GA at this time was that "it only has a few sources for the information in the article". While some may consider 11 distinct sources to be more than "a few", it certainly never hurts to have more, in the interest of scholarship.
Therefore, when you have a chance, would you mind terribly marking up the article with {{fact}}, {{specify}}, and {{verify source}} tags in some of the areas that you felt lacked attribution? I'm sure that doing so would help give direction to those who have been editing the article on a regular basis.
Regarding the lack of images, as you can see on the talk page (right above the GA fail post), the absence of images was discussed. Very few, if any, sex-based articles have images, and I'm not really sure what kind of image would be helpful to the article in any case. If you have suggestions (i.e. "The image should show x, y, but not z"), please post on the talk page. Of course, lack of images itself is not grounds for failing a GA nom. Hopefully your other concerns will be corrected in due course, however.
Again, thanks for your helpful review. OscarTheCat3 17:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
The article was ready around 16:00 GMT. I don't know why, but I didn't see your message till now. It was ready last night, but my internet access went dead, so I had to work on it today. Anyway, Thanks for your patience. Otheus 23:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello again sir, thanks for upgrading Varalaru to a 'B' rating.
Please sir would you assess the Billa (2007 film).
I believe this was given a "Start" rating some time ago or has not been rated as yet. Much has been added to the article since then. In my opinion this should satisfy the "B"-rating requirements.
Please sir would you be so kind to assess it.
Thank You. Happy Editing! King Dracula 00:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't get to the copy edit stuff, I saw that another user had given it a good going over though. I will look it over, tomorrow, if there is anything glaring I will note it and note it on the GAC page as well. If its good I will go ahead and conduct the full review and pass it without further correspondence. I saw you working on it a ton, I just got my first GA, which was pretty sweet.

Essjay. Essjay was accused of lying about everything, including his good credentials (which he had used in disputes). He was accused of lying to reporters and otherwise defaming the good Wikipedia name. There was a very large discussion about him on the Community Noticeboard and even a Request for comment. Essjay's talk page was constantly full of trollish and otherwise hurtful comments asking him to resign, accuing him of lacking ethics, ect. The thing that was most upsetting, was the number of people who turned on him and stabbed him in the back after they found out what he did. Although, there were many good people who did not, and stuck by him until the end. Jimbo, who Essjay was close with, realized the vastness of this situation and the communities want for him to resign, Jimbo asked for Essjay resignation on March 3, 2007. Last night (morning UTC), Essjay finally retired and asked us to delete his userspace and flags from various project, leaving the sad notation that he will be gone forever.

I am a bit worried you might all oppose my efforts here, but Just to let you know I have started the Cinema of... templates in Category:WikiProject Films templates. As with all the articles related to Argentine cinema I would like to see the cinema box at the bottom of film pages related to the particular cinema connecting actors directors films lists cinematographers making the film topic seem more concise. If they are placed at the very bottom of every page I don't see that they can be a problem and help connect articles related to the relative cinema very nicely. Users such as Esn have said it was a great idea. E.g Sergio Leone see the footer. I haven't added many yet though. E.g
For use in italian film and cinema articles
For use in Finnish film and cinema articles
I would hope agree they look fine and are concise for a footer template -this way quick navigation between all aspects of the countries cinema articles can be achived quickly. I don;t really want to overdo any templates but I feel these are very useful for each country What do you think? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 22:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi thanks for taking the time. The next stage will be to copy edit, condense it a little and reference then peer review it for a GA. The Abbas Kiarostami went from a stub-start to a featured article in three weeks! so I know it can be done. As you said if that article hadn't been collaboration of the week I wouldn't have seen it and worked on it.

Hi, I just installed GIMP 2 the other day and am learning to treat png's with transparent layers, shadows, etc. My main reason was to modify and standardize the film-flag icons at the above section by Blofeld. I have done the Italian right, but I don't know the process of reuploading an image. Do i upload it with another name and ask an admin to do the swap, or is there a more practical way. I ask because more uploaded icons need work and I can't install this Wiki-compatible "external application" which treats them on the spot. / Lately I am up to 20 boxes a day, but that's my limit. After 20 infoboxes (and other WP discussions going on) I tend to fall into Nintendo. Hoverfish Talk 19:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes, but I don't find this "Upload a new version of this file" for this file in Wikipedia or in Commons (where its original is).

I don't know whether you agree or not butI have always beleived that actors and directors and cinema characters are tied to our Film Project. Nobody can dispute the fact that they are part of cinema and films and I beleive we have at least some responsibility to upkeep them if they are directly linked from our film articles. However rather than setting up a seperate project what about Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Actors and Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Directors. THis way they are a part (or at least tied) to our film project. Each page would highlight the articles that require most attention, missing articles etc for better project coordination. WikiProject Biography is so enormoous and I see hundreds of actor and director articles in very poor shape and neglect -Biogrpahy cannot work to effectively concentrate on hundreds of thousands of articles at once!!. The cinema characters would be a part of both projects. Ther is no obligation but it would certianly help to organize it all better, However if nobody wants it as part of films then of course they can be set up independently. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 18:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I've been adding images and infoboxes to a few films a day for the past week or so, but following conversation with another editor, I just want to check I'm doing it properly. I have been adding wiki links to actors, directors etc in the infobox, but then removing links from the text of the article if there is duplciation (for instance, I did an infobox for Absolute_Beginners which has David Bowie linked in the infobox but not in the text.

I have been working on DeKalb County Courthouse (Illinois). How expansive should the notable trials section be, I currently have it under "Circuit court history" and talk about a major early case, 1866, a case from the 1960s and a case from the 1970s, there are of course other cases that were prominent, which I can add, but I was mostly wondering how thorough the section will have to be to pass GA criteria. Also, is the "Significance" section I added, more along the lines you were thinking?
The dates have presented a problem. The current courthouse dates were no problem but I am having trouble finding anything beyond a month or a year for the earlier buildings to have the name "DeKalb County Courthouse," is this okay, or should I journey to the history room at the local library and pour over building records, I could but not in the amount of time required by the on hold.
Mostly I was just hoping you could take a glance and let me know where I stand as of now. IvoShandor 08:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I noticed your GA review of Dave Lombardo, which looked alright. At the moment I'm trying to elevate " Eyes of the Insane" to GA status (it's at GAC as we speak) which I think is possible, and maybe FA if enough sources are available.

Hi -- I just wanted to thank you for the very thorough review you did of this article. I don't know whether anyone will feel motivated to fix that long list of items you noted, but as one of the major contributors to the article, I wanted to say that the time and effort you spent on the review is appreciated. KarlBunker 10:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Brother Nehrams, a propo Blues Brothers, look what I just bumped into: Stolen Harmony. Do you think the film might have roots in it? By the way, I just suggested starting a film list subproject. Hoverfish Talk 08:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I never was fond of being top on anything, but just in case there are any benefits from being in a tops group, I'll check the link. I am also not in violent films, but I just read yesterday in BBC about all the complaints raised by 300 and had my thoughts. For one, I am in contact with an editor doing lots of good to Persian culture and he has said that since the Islamic revolution Persian culture is being distroyed. Imagine now how suddenly all these iranian officials complain for their cultural roots. It might turn out that this film raises local appreciation for the Persian culture after all! :) Hoverfish Talk 08:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey somebody nominated my starter article Joymati for a front page DYK. I was looking through the Indian films and came across Assamese cinema which was only four lines long and no films!!! As it is connected in the Indiandand world template I decided to expand it and add a few articles. Indramalati with some work may also be up to front page standard. Hey that 300 film looks great I've seen the trailer on You Tube ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I've addressed your concerns in the article and commented on them in the Talk page of the article. Please let me know if more editing is needed. Thanks. Hong Qi Gong ( Talk - Contribs) 22:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Also see my proposals at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals and the main WP Film tak page. KNow anybody who is interested? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your helpful critique of Frank Fetter. Hopefully it'll be up to GA quality before too long! DickClarkMises 00:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

So far there has been no activity on the bot talk page and I posted a note about it on the administrator board. The link for it is Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/StewieBot.

Don't know if you noticed but Joymati hit the front page earlier and now they have just nominated Indramalati and Zhuangzi Tests His Wife too! I just started another Garbo film Torrent (1926 film) which I hope will make it too!!! Its good that my Argentine film collaborator Luigi Bob has had his new articles The Dove (1974 film) nominated too. These a regtood times for film!
♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 22:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
THanks. Yes I only created those stubs though remember to get the Argentine films off and running. I personally hate stubs and always use an infobox now. Hopefully I can expand them all into decent articles too eventually. I also started a few films by Georges Melies to rid of some red links on the French films which Mr Hoverfish has done so well on. I wish i could buy time!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 23:06, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
HI Nehrams. I was thinking. Do you think its a good idea to design as You Tube link template to link many of the films to the videos on You Tube e.g like with the imdb template. It has an amazing amount of film clips and I feel it would be a very useful link. I have just added the link from Camille 1936 film. What do you think? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
All the images in the article now have fair use rationales. ( Ibaranoff24 23:30, 22 March 2007 (UTC))

I've also looked over the article, and I agree with Sa.vakilian's comments. The article is a definite pass. Qjuad 19:53, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
A month or two ago, you reviewed endgame tablebase as a GA nomination and failed it. I think I forgot to thank you because I was disappointed about the result, so let me thank you now. I'm writing because I've done a lot more work on the article, and I've decided to skip over GAC and go straight to WP:FAC. Since you've reviewed it before, you may have some opinion or advice now. Of course this is not WP:CANVASS; I think you might know enough about the article to fix any errors that remain. YechielMan 05:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
I have started a page model for the new project User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Film biography page model. Please note that it is still in its infancy stage and the templates have not been fully completed. THis is how I'd like the page to look but with an adaption of the task side plate further to incorprate film and biography goals on wikipedia.

Thanks for your interest in California newspapers, but you should not remove neutral, accurate, objective information from the Merced Sun-Star article, especially while posting inaccurate information yourself. "trying to say where the younger generation has gone wrong" was falsely given as a direct quote from my own edit, in order to support a false claim of non-NPOV. Mercedboy07 02:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Torrent successfully featured on the main page today -I hope to make it five in a week with my latest entry Uttara (film) -a very odd film but very interesting indeed. I am developing a liking to writing longer new articles. I find it very difficult to concentrate on the lists for too long without adding an article I feel I work better this way. . I can't wait till the lists are out the way and I can start really writing some quality articles for wikipedia. Also once the templating is fixed for the biography plate I anticipate that the Film biography project will be started next week ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 19:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Wow, you're a busy person, aren't you? I made all of the changes you suggesed. Something is up with Image:Reagan recovering after being shot 1981.jpg. The website the image came from said "All the photographs are in the public domain and may be credited "Courtesy Ronald Reagan Library," so I added that template, but the old one is still there and there's no way to remove it. -- Wasted Sapience 20:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright I am working on Ivo Shandor, for obvious reasons. What else could I do to bring it up to GA (besides add the missing refs), I don't know what else to write about a character who is only mentioned in Ghostbusters not actually seen. Any tips and advice would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time. IvoShandor 14:39, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Nehrams! Again, thank you so much for your warm welcome to Wikipedia and your encouragement when I was tentatively poking around Quills with my first edits. I'm continuing to improve (I hope!) the article, but as it's still rated Start-class, I'm not prepared to submit it for a peer review just yet. I was hoping you might look in on me there and make sure I'm on the right track. I know you've got a ton on your plate and are currently on vacation, so when you get back, I would be much obliged! :) Thank you again. - M. F. Gaede 18:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I have been working considerably hard on Casino Royale of late and have added the Special effects section and completely copy edited it today giving some sections a complete restructure and rewrite. I now beleive it is up to FA class already - a very good encyclopedic source well written which conveys all the information on different aspects of the film. Luckily most of it were already well written but some sentencing needed restructuring and may still do a little. Please read it through when you have time and if you think it has potential I or someone should propose this can get it a bronze star as soon as we can. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 21:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't know if you are busy or what but just to let you know that Casino Royale (2006 film) has undergone improvement in the last week and I have now nominated it for Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. I would very much appreciate you taking the time to review the article and state your opinion. Thankyou. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 09:33, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
THanks for taking the time to review it. I have also added a new sub section covering the detail on how the credit sequence was devised based on the original 1953 book cover -so far 6/6 in support. Hopfeully it can become my first FA involvement for a film - once the lists are created and missing films stubbed my goal then will be to work through all our high importance and mid importance film categories and make sure every article is written to at least a B and to a GA. At this stage I will consider joining the GA project ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 11:31, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, because of the upgrading info showing in all stubs, even ones about awards etc, I asked PhantomS if it was possible we add an extra parameter for them. He said the simplest way is to create a new stub class (for the film template field only). It would assign the very same category with the existing stub class, i.e. Category:Stub-Class film articles. It would just be one additional line in the template, to permit us to enter, say, {{film|NF stub}} and would display just as stub class normally does, except it wouln't display the upgrading info. Do you think that's ok? Hoverfish Talk 07:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
I just mean that the film template can accept such a "class=NF stub" input so that it doesn't display the upgrading info. No real class actually. It will still list all articles in the normal stub category. Yes, for awards and all other articles that are not films per se. I will make a round and give this new pseudo-class to all stub articles that do not need the upgrading info. And... No, any further upgrading conditional tables will be too much for this template and the techs designing it. Sorry. Are you in agreement still? Hoverfish Talk 20:37, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Since your standards seem to be as high as mine (see my assault at User:IvoShandor/Notes on Golubac) or maybe even higher, I must bombard you with queries. Minus copy editing, how far off from GA is Historic district (United States), in your opinion and where is lacking? Thanks ahead of time. If you ever have similar questions lemme know. IvoShandor 13:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
My most recent Firefox update flags words with red underlines now, like "suffcient" in my last comment. I just have to remember to actually notice it. I am not sure if the state section is very thorough, even with the blurb about tennssee, but there really isn't a lot out there, at least I touch on it. Thanks again for your help. IvoShandor 08:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Added note: I tried hard not to stray off into the history of the National Register of Historic Places or State Historic Preservation Offices, there is a lot of overlap but I think I sorted it all out pretty carefully? Did you think it was focused enough? IvoShandor 08:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I have reviewed the article on Hurricane Neddy and explained why I believe the article failed GA standards. I'm sorry about the delay but my computer was disconnected mid-review. The review can be found here. JameiLei 16:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your fantastically thorough review of History of Dallas, Texas (1874-1929). I feel I've addressed your concerns and have improved it quite a bit. I'd appreciate another glance at it to see if it's ready — I see you're quite busy with GA-related stuff, so don't feel an obligation to. Thanks! -- drumguy8800 C T 19:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, User:Bearcat has started cross-categorizing Candain films by genre. So we'd better discuss about it, because it may be the next mountain to climb. It's being discussed in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films/Categorization. For me it's bedtime now. I'll join in tomorrow. Hoverfish Talk 22:23, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers has started but needs some effort to get all the components set up. I have asked the main bio template protector to add all the film workgroup details into the main plate. However it may be good idea to have a seperate project banner and this could potentially become a major project ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 16:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Please see the banner Template:Filmbio and help add all the different project categories for actors, directors, cinenmatographers, producers, editors, score composers I have tested it out for appearance and looks very good ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 11:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am deeply busy with several arguments and am repairing whole categories that have been broken up. Can you please see to Template:Filmimage, which has been changed and contains now controversial instructions. I have used it in hundreds if not thousands of film articles and now it looks like it doesn't apply to any of them. I just can't handle one more set of arguments at this point. Thanks. Hoverfish Talk 08:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
The point is it doesn't request any more posters, DVD and video covers, but directors, actors and I don't remember what else. So in all the film articles without images, what are we encouraging? To me it looks like the template was taken over by WP Bio. Hoverfish Talk 17:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

In its present form, I think it would fail, because all of the real article content is in one section, so I think it would be hard to defend the existance of a lead. However, except for an ambiguous "his big break...." type statement and several sentences which could probably be worded slightly more neutrally, if this article was logically divided up with headlines into about 3 sections or so, it might still be a GA. Homestarmy 13:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
I am currently going through Canadian documentaries adding the primary cats. I also add missing talk page film templates and it is obvious we should add a short note in the stub upgrading info that documentaries have other requirements. Or we can mark some entries with (not requested in documentaries) like cast section for one. Hoverfish Talk 15:25, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

One more spot where your assistance may be of big help. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 April 12#Comedy films by actor. I have some doubts: some are not exactly "actor" categories, but series or character ones. Hoverfish Talk 06:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
On the same issue, there has been a proposal to remane the last 4 as "series". Please, take a look in Category:Film series and think if they belong there instead. The prospect of deleting the whole Film series, is of course very scarry. Thanks. Hoverfish Talk 07:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

First, thanks for the kind words and the welcome back to Wikipedia.
Second, excellent work with the Leslie Nielsen article. I had put a lot of work into the article about a year ago with the intention of turning it into a Featured Article. After nominating it for GA, I sort of drifted away from Wikipedia and never finished the article as I wanted.
Your work on the article is very good, and is exactly as I hoped the article would progress. I appreciate the dedication into making the article a quality addition, and I hope it succeeds at becoming a GA.
All the best.
-- Ataricodfish 01:58, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Hey I too like Leslie Nielsen -he is one of favorite comic actors. I added the image to Frank Drebin!!.
In case you didn't know WIkiProject James Bond is off and running well too (I didn't propose it but helped set it up). We're still awaiting casino royale FA promotion but in the mean time I have considerably improved The Man with the Golden Gun (film). As you are part of the GA club and films could you help with the referencing to make it at least a GA?. I am also trying with a number of others to promote The Maltese Falcon which you already know I have worked extensively. These two articles clearly have the potential. Also thanks for helping with actor and filmmaker tagging - its starting very well.
I'm just wondering why you haven't responded to me for weeks? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 13:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
THanks Nehrams. Oh wow your're going to be in for some fun with those school papers!!! I should treat yourself with the Bond dvd box set afterwards as a reward!!! I didn't even stop to think that you might not have even seen the film!!! Some of the Roger Moore films from 1973 -1985 were a bit silly but every film has its moments. Incidentally Man with the Golden Gun was the last of all the Bond films I ever saw first back when I was about 7 or 8 I think. Its kind of a tradition in the UK for the father to get his son hooked on Bond!!! Good luck anyway and all the best ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 10:00, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
