Hey mate,
I probably did, but I suppose that section missing was better than "Brandon Routh is hott. You should respect him".
All the best. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.104.77.17 ( talk • contribs)

I've got an Afd out on Luca Brasi. The majority of people have voted to keep the article, but only give the reasoning that "He's important." However the only tangible contribution he gives is with the quote "Sleeping with the fishes". Yet people insist that he should have an entire article devoted to him, even though he has no more then two or three lines in the film and two or three scenes in all. He is a minor character who happens to have been the catalyst to a popular quote. Any information on him is or should be present in The Godfather article. He does not deserve an entire article devoted to him, especially one that cannot be expanded beyond a stub. Would you help me out and run over there and put in your two cents. Or at least explain to me why the article should be kept, either on my talk page or on the Afd. The Filmaker 21:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm having some trouble with a new user ( User:Venom-smasher) who has begun to make horrible significant changes to The Phantom Menace article. The changes are obviously POV and OR, they are uncited, and go completely against everything users such as myself provided citations for. Worst of all, his changes create and extremely odd and clunky format to the text. After I tried to appeal to him on his talk page, he merely reverted back to his old version again claiming that our (the users) version was POV. Mind you, this is the version that was voted through as an FA. He has violated the 3RR and pretty much started an edit war. I'm sorry that I have to come to you yet again, but I've always had trouble dealing with stubbornness among new users. The Filmaker 03:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Venom Smasher should probably be blocked, since he reverted the most and is clearly only interested in edit warring. — Deckill e r 14:39, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
I've restored Warcraft (film) and Talk:Warcraft (film). You deleted them under WP:CSD#G4 (and WP:CSD#G8 for the talk page); however, the page (when you deleted it) is significantly different from its form when it went through AfD [1]. To quote the cited criteria:
I'm not suggesting the article can't be deleted, but it has to pass through AfD again; zipping it through G4 is improper. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll point out that I responded to your reply and another reply from the gentlemen (can't remember his name!) who blocked me, I'd like to continue the discussion, not because I'm trying to punish either of you but because I'd like to set the record straight or just realize what I did wrong (if anything). But I'd also like you to say something to User:Venom-smasher about his new user page, where he posted this:
First, I am beginning to find this classification of my being a "fanboy" as offensive, he has simply degraded to name calling at this point. Secondly, and more importantly, the link after this statement is to my talk page. I find this to be slandering. Say what he will about my articles, he is at this point making a personal attack on me without any evidence to support. How long does this have to go on for? He is living in his own personal world where the prequel trilogy was accepted with open arms by the fan community and he is supposedly "revered" (check the user page) by "many for his efforts to clean up biased "POV" statements that plague many wikipedia articles". Mind you, he has no link for these people who supposedly "revere" him. Yet another example of him making statements that are uncited, yet accusing me of being POV in my writing. The Filmaker 03:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
I think you did one pass over it. My memory is failing me too. I went and checked the history for the page and the problem is that there was the whole copyvio issue and now it's sort of..... gone. I said that on Deckiller's page because it was in my notes on my nomination for it's FAC. But since you don't remember doing it, would you mind doing it now? I'm desperate as despite having at least two copyeditors go through it, it still apparently has prose problems. It's real short. Do you mind? The Filmaker 05:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Please undo your edit to that page; the very change you made I tried once before, and it is known to cause problems in standards compliant browsers. The rationale that it does something good for IE6 is pointless, because it does bad things for other browsers, IE6 is not standards compliant, and (especially) IE6 is now obsolete with the release of the non-beta version of IE7. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ contrib ツ 09:29, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Is there (and if there isn't, shouldn't there be?) a wikipedia policy regarding edit wars in which it states that in a revert war the original version of the article should be given the benefit of the doubt and left up until the dispute is resolved? The Filmaker 23:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
So what exactly is machinima? Any video created in-game? Doesn't that make most ads, trailers, walk-throughs, etc machinima? hobbie 06:53, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

From whence does your username originate? A wild guess that's it's your initials. In any case, did you know that tae kwon do is often abbreviated as TKD? Just thought you'd find this mildly amusing. — Loadmaster 16:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to add some important staff members and other information for Final Fantasy, but that was trivial and the infobox got cluttered up by accident when I added some more staff members and whoops, that was unnecessary information! My bad! Also, if I want to experiment to test my editing skills, I will experiment by using the Sandbox ^_^. I won't let you down, Axem Titanium, PresN and TKD, even if I use it. No Worries about that here ^_^. Thanks for the information and advice you gave me earlier, my friends ^_^. I do really like all of you and I am always nice to all of you ^_^.-- Sjones23 03:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Since you haven't significantly contributed to Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back would you mind reading it through and then running over to the candidates for WP:GA and judging whether it deserves good article status? :) The Filmaker 04:07, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
In the past you have participated in discussion about this guideline, or voted in it's acceptence. There is currently a discussion about a partial rewrite of this guideline. The discussion could benefit from some more input. Thank you for your contributions. TheDJ ( talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 16:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up, and feel free to take all the liberty you want. You're more experienced at this than I am. Thanks, mate! :) Dac 07:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure exactly what you mean about appropriate links. Polaris is listed here as a wikipedia article and they have their official site listed. There is an "unofficial RvB site" listed under Red vs Blue, which is someone's personal site. I was listing the Red vs Blue event under Red vs Blue, not for advertising, but more for information about how fans of the show can interact with each other face to face. RvBTO is in it's third year and I believe it has some merit.
I'm really unsure how to proceed from here. I understand you're a fan of Red vs Blue. Please help me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RvBTO ( talk • contribs)
The person who created the "unofficial resource site", is one of their moderators, but is not part of their team. He created that webpage on his own and maintains it himself.
He also created the website that I was adding to the list of links. The site www.RvBTO.ca is not his personal site, but our official site for our event which is purely based on Red vs Blue.
I don't know what you would need for verification about RvBTO except the link to the official site.
Polaris used to be called Toronto Trek, it's an annual event that runs every summer just like RvBTO.
I read the "articles for deletion" debate. The comments are really rude! I guess we'll have to wait 20 years before our event gets recognized. I'm sorry if you think I'm using Wikipedia for an ad campaign. I work so hard on it every year, I really just wanted to be able to see it in something I consider to be a great world encyclopedia instead of in the newpaper and on the web.
If you are interested in coming to the event at all, please let me know, and maybe we can clear up any issues of validity.
Thanks for the advice. —Preceding

I would like some time to work on it if possible. Thank you.
I'm holding a meeting on January 12th and can discuss how to proceed with my executive committee.
I'm happy that you're a fan of the show, because you'll be interested to know that this is the biggest fan-based event for RvB anywhere in the world. Rooster Teeth actually contacted us this year to set a weekend aside for them to attend so that they can confirm with us early. It's also Burnie Burns' favourite event and he sends us different members of his crew every year. This year we've made the request for Geoff, Matt and Joel. Nico (Trocadero) is planning on attending again and might bring his band with him this year for a full performance. I hope that you can either attend the event yourself as a fan, or officially as a representative from Wikipedia. I guarantee that any fan of the show will enjoy the weekend we have in store. Thank you again for the advice.
I understand that the copyright tag issued to it was wrong. But there was no copyright. What do I do if there is no copyright? HaloPwnage 20:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for fixing vandalism to my userpage. The same IP address left a rather rude message on my talk page a few days back. Strangely enough, two other IP addresses from a different network than the former left the exact same message on subsequent days [4] [5] , a few weeks back. I wish I knew what this was all about (even if it is little more than childish vandalism).-- Drat ( Talk) 08:22, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
