You nominated James Bond novels and stories for Good Article status. However, it appears to be more of a list and would therefore not be granted GA-class. Wikipedia:Good article criteria excludes lists from consideration. You should try Wikipedia:Featured list candidates first. maclean ( talk) 11:24, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
You claim that Bond "visits a prostitute" in HIGH TIME TO KILL or "has group sex" in MIDSUMMER NIGHT's DOOM. This is simply not true. This doesn't occur in any of my books, and Harker's article got it wrong just to be snarky in his newspaper article. I am Raymond Benson and the author of these books and I can assure you, I never had Bond have "group sex" (an orgy) or "visit a prostitute" (for the purpose of having sex). I don't know where Harker got his supposed information, but he apparently didn't read the books or stories. Please feel free to contact me through my website and we can discuss. Otherwise, your articles on Bond are very, very good! — Preceding unsigned comment added by RBinPerson ( talk • contribs) 16:56, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

As we continue to wait on our topic, and I've given you support with your list, I wondered if you could take a look at another shot at something I started, if it interests you (reviewing the nomination, cleaning the article, whatever you like). Thanks. igordebraga ≠ 20:45, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Erast Fandorin, you may be blocked from editing.
Sigh. Why do you refuse so much to comply with Wikipedia guidelines, even when you were told about them? (No, I don't think you're REALLY suffering from functional analphabetism. You understand what's written there, you just refuse to acknowledge it - which is even worse.) -- 194.145.185.229 ( talk) 17:01, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi there,
FYI with regards to this [2] edit, "Whilst" is no more grammatically correct than "While", the words are largely synonymous in UK English although "Whilst" is still considered to be archaic. -- Deadly∀ssassin 01:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Bernard Lee, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Partners in Crime ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, SchroCat!
It was really helpful of you to you to upload File:BlackStilettoCover.jpg. However, we need to properly format the image license information in order to keep and use new images.
If you can edit the description and add one of these templates, that would be great. If you're not sure how or would like some help, please ask us at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Hello, SchroCat!
This is really stupid to write "The interior hall of London's Leadenhall Market served as the location for the café scene, supposedly in Budapest" because that part of this film was shot in Budapest at Párizsi Udvar File:Párizsi_udvar_Budapest.jpg. I've read lots of articles on the net about this scene. Please Google for "Párizsi Udvar, Budapest" and you'll see that stating it was shot at Leadenhall Market is a fantasy!
I live in Budapest, nearby Párizsi Udvar. I can recognise that place very well. I wonder what "reliable source" stated the Leadenhall Market as the location of the scene. This is incorrect, and makes no sense.

Dear Schrodinger's Cat,
On the article for Live and Let Die, I noticed that my mention of actor James Best (best known as Roscoe P. Coltrane) was removed due to not having a credible source. To be fair at you, I don't blame you. The reason I put it on there to begin with was due to the fact that at my job (Mercyhurst), there a fellow worker who asks me James Bond questions. A patricular one had to do with said man who played Billy Bob in an uncredited role. While trying to find said answer (which was a ball-buster), there was a picture of him from at least two sites, but they all said "Actor: Unknown". I don't know which site actually KNOWS it was James Best who was Billy Bob, so I hope you can accept my explanation for my action.

Hi, I did some clean up of one the greatest Bond films and you have reverted the edits that I made in good faith - Do we really need to know how many times Lois Maxwell and Bernard Lee etc have appeared in the Bond series? - surely this is only relevant to the pages dedicated to these people.
The same also goes for all the excess info regarding a duplication of George Bakers dubbing of Lazenby - which should only be the casting section once and mentioned in the Baker part of the article only.
The mentioning of the Avengers with Rigg, Blackman and Magee once again that is not really anything to do with the Bond film(S) as these actors have starred in countless other tv shows and films and they are all mentioned on their own pages and to be honest it all seems to come across as excess clutter to the article as most of it is nothing to do with On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Please email message me back with a solution / compromise or B#gger off!
And what a shame that Lazenby didn't go on to do Diamonds Are Forever....

Fair enough and good answers!
If Peter Hunt had directed Diamonds it probably would have been more character based rather than Guy Hamiltons over camp Connery is back romp!

<<Do you have a source for the "Cadet awards"? Strange that nothing comes up about them on a google search...>>
Hi, Schrodinger!
About this - Keep in mind, a film festival is of a much higher notability than, say, a regular cinema in Anytown. Also the text in Spanish from the source says:
Does this mean the worldwide premiere of this film was at this festival? Even though the other source said it was a Leicester Square... Unless this means the non-UK premiere? WhisperToMe ( talk) 13:44, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thnks for not disturbing me to ask for further information or waste time by looking into this more closely: if you done so, you would have found out that there are TWO editors—myself and one other. Simply adding "It seems that you are ThatManAgain" doesn't even come close to the truth. I know who the other editor was and indeed both he and I have edited the same page following a discussion about it, but is as far as it goes.

Decline reason:
What you have just described above is an admission of meatpuppetry, which falls under the same issues as improper use of alternate accounts. You see, if two editors from the same IP edit the same article, we have no choice but to deal with it the same. Just as brother/sisters get blocked for editing the same articles, so will you.

Having read your comments, I think that your explanation is reasonably plausible, so I have unblocked. JamesBWatson ( talk) 15:22, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
BWilkins, Just for the future—and I'm not trying to have a go or prolong this ridiculous affair any further, but please don't call me, or any other user, "a dick"—EVER. It's not polite or funny or nice to call someone a dick—would you like it if I were to call you a penis, or cock, would you? So try and remember that that's what "
a dick" is, so think before you insult anyone else, please and try and remember
WP:NICE, even in your summaries.
Just to put the record straight, I wasn't trying to be clever, but I was absolutely fuming that I was blocked for somewhat spurious reasons and I wanted to get it listed straight away. Please also be careful when accusing people of not editing collegiately: I showed you a list of articles I helped get to GA status, all of which were done with other editors, in other words: collegiately. Please look at facts and don't shoot from the hip when you're making such comments. Please also appreciate that saying to an editor that they "do not understand this project" is insulting to someone who has worked hard to make a tiny corner of the project a little better.
In respect of the "meat puppetry" accusation (again, avoid the term "meat puppetry"—it's against
WP:CIVIL), perhaps a suggestion of
WP:SHARE may have been more applicable?
I don't want to bang on, but it may have been a little better if you'd just thought about what you said before you said it: your words inflamed an already bad situation in this instance.

Hello! You have removed my edit in article "Moonraker(film)". I think that in a text that states that Moonraker was intended to be filmed already in 1973, it's essential to also mention that it was not ment to be done in 1979 eighther. In the text that follows "The Spy Who Loved Me" (after cast etc) it's very clearly stated that "James Bond will return in For Your Eyes only". Perhaps that isn't the case on all DVD's, I dont't know. But it's a wellknown fact, that "Moonraker" was not the intended follower of "The Spy Who Loved Me" in 1977 due to the "post film texts" (don't know the correct english word for such texts, sorry to say) stated "For Your Eyes Only" as the following 007-film. However "The Spy WhoLoved Me" film had premiere some months before the NASA space shuttle flew (free but inside the atmospere) for the first time. (In september 1977, and it wasn't launched but flewn on top of a Boeing 747, then released and landed). This was indeed the reason for making "Moonraker" prior to "For Your Eyes Only". If my english wasn't good enough... , but You removed imperative facts whitout giving any reason. Boeing720 ( talk) 01:13, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
just skips that part. But a better source then whats stated in "The Spy Who Loved Me" is hard to find, i think. I urge You to reconcider. It's imperative facts in James Bond movie history. Boeing720 ( talk) 09:50, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not going into the reason, you can find it at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Admin_refusing_to_participate_in_dispute_resolution, but given your experiences recently with your block you can probably relate. I have never known anyone on here be as industrious as you are in getting articles promoted. It usually took me months and you seemed to turn them out on a weekly basis. You should have been treated better, all that work you did and you were treated like a common internet troll. I still believe in Wikipedia to an extent, but not some of the mechanisms that power it. Best of luck, and I have no doubt Skyfall will be joining the GA family soon. Betty Logan ( talk) 05:21, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
