Hello there. I wanted to explain why Ireland is not included in the infobox and lead while the UK is (which I explained in my edit summaries, as well): Per
WP:FILMRELEASE, the infobox is too small to fit all the countries in it (as many tend to have the same-day release), as it states: "the release date(s) in the country or countries that produced the film, excluding sneak previews or screenings." Once it premieres, that will supersede this instance, and it was made in the UK (so we include that), not Ireland, which is not as notable per these points. Thank you for your time and contributions.

Should we then add United Kingdom as a co-Country of Origin?
ToNeverFindTheMets (
talk) 20:57, 7 February 2024 (UTC)reply
No, and it should not have been added, hence why I just reverted it. This is an American production from American studios. The fact that it was filmed in the UK does not mean its country of origin is the UK. A lot of American films and shows shoot in the UK nowadays, especially at
Pinewood Studios. And Kinberg being English doesn't mean this film is an English production either. This is
WP:SYNTHESIS.

Once the doubt surrounding TSG and Bona Fide comes to a stop, we will likely know more on technicalities such as these.
ToNeverFindTheMets (
talk) 21:10, 7 February 2024 (UTC)reply
That, again, is an assumption. We don't even know if those companies will be credited, and even if they were, that wouldn't change this from an American/United States film to be a UK co-production film just because they helped finance it before production was almost done. That is not how this works.
Trailblazer101 (
talk) 21:12, 7 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Yeah, the consensus was to hide those companies until technicalities are learned. We write stuff here as it is stated. That is how this works.
Besides, doubt will eventually be remedied surrounding these financers. They could be credited, they could not be credited. Has TSG been credited on these sorts of films before? Will it be "like iron man 3"? We will know in time. Assuming the world doesn't blow up in the time before now and then.

Hello, I'm
98Tigerius. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a
neutral point of view. Your recent edit to
Dune: Part Two seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 14:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)reply
Hey ToNeverFindTheMets, I'm the one who jotted down the first Dune: Part Two plot. I went to an advance screeing last night, "Fan First Premier", and I wrote down the plot right after. It's authentic. You can look up the showing.

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Keanu Reeves into another page. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also.

Your GA review of Dress (Taylor Swift song)
Hi there. Please note that when reviewing a
good article nomination, you should follow the
instructions. In this case, as raised at
the GAN talk page, I don't see that an in-depth review was provided, or that you did a spotcheck of citations to ensure source-text integrity. You also did not close the review correctly, which happily allows you to easily go back and provide a more in-depth review. If you have any questions, please ping me. Best wishes,

I understand your frustration with the public post about your review at WT:GAN, but your comment was absolutely unacceptable. The rest of your behavior, including your sarcastic response to Diannaa above, and your incredibly uncivil commentary at

I honestly have no clue what

Threatening physical harm against another person, even as a joke or in hyperbole, is absolutely unacceptable, and has gotten other editors sanctioned in the past. Do not ever make a comment like this again. Consider this your only warning; the next step if it happens again will have to be administrative intervention. —

I was too rude to some people. I'd like to plead for another chance.
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an
administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the
blocking policy).
Request reason: I'd like to apologize properly ~ I was a bit rude to some people. Diana, on my talk page, though I posted on theirs something nicer, but still not good enough for a proper apology. I got pretty shitty with someone over putting me on blast on a public talk page over a good article review for a
Taylor Swift song, and frankly, I tried unsaying some stuff before I was blocked by chaos. Even if others could've handled themselves better, that was never my concern. I should've been more thorough in my own kindness, and personally should have handled myself better. I hope to clear most of my other stuff on here given the grace of an admin, and start more anew. I felt accosted by a "Bite the Newcomers" joke, and frankly, should've logged off to begin with myself. I'm deeply sorry for wasting your time over me being a gullible moron and unkind to others by wiki standards, kind Admin. I hate to pitch this like Ebeneezer Scrooge trying to repent after being shown the ghosts of Christmas's time, but I'd really love a shot at giving these people the proper apologies, and other wikipedians in the future the proper treatment and conduct, they deserve. ~

Decline reason:
You have been evading your block (and getting getting into arguments with people through your new, illegitimate, account), which is not a good look when you are asking to be unblocked. If you want to contribute here, you will have to undergo something of an attitude adjustment before anyone is going to be willing to consider an unblock. The
standard offer is available to you, but if you continue trying to edit through sockpuppet accounts, you risk being
community banned per
WP:3X, which will make it much more difficult for you to get unblocked.

Public image and cultural impact of Keanu Reeves. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it is promotional and reads like an advertisement.

You seem like a prim editor, going by a skim of your page, and I laud that, but you don't seem to really believe that a man with an overwhelmingly positive public opinion, who has influenced popular culture, and is honestly a guy who should be the model for humanity in general, can actually exist. But I'm not writing that here. I'm writing about the media notability and impact Reeves has had in popular culture, his profession, and general media, similar to those impacts of
Taylor Swift.
Draft:Public image and cultural impact of Keanu Reeves was a page that stipulated that it was documenting the innumerable instances in the media when Reeves was subject to virality, attention, and praise, rather than just lauding Reeves directly. If you are able to find any reliable source(s) that can contradict this, I welcome the inclusion of it on the draft. Even if I feel confident that no such opinions (that are also notable) exist, if anyone were to find any, it may very well be you. Furthermore, the page is certainly not lacking in reliable citations, so I would love if you would remove that reason from your drafting reason list. The masses of sources on this topic prove notability sevenfold.
It's obvious that Reeves's impact in cinema and on the internet deserve notice, and have been noticed by a wide enough and meritable sum, and that notice should be represented on these pages. I implore you, please believe. I know it sounds like a Christmas movie for children, but it's all true. Keanu Reeves needs not be undersold.
If I ever get unbanned from this platform, I will challenge your edits and actions concerning Reeves.
Advertising
I also do not understand this. The article is not pitching Reeves as "buy the kindest man who ever lived now for $49.95!", or otherwise forming any independent opinions that haven't been expressed by reliable sources, yet you claim this is "advertisement". What is trying to be sold here? What is being pitched? I'd appreciate your input here, in hopes it would serve as an explanation of your reasoning behind your edits. I only see representation of media opinions, events, and general public opinion as has been reported in the mediaToNeverFindTheMets (

"For the sake of neutrality, Wikipedia cannot rely upon any editor's opinion about what topics are important."
Hi there, in the future, please ping me if you want my attention (see
Help:Notifications if you don't know how). The only paragraph in the current draft which is at all encyclopedic is the first of the "In the media" section, which can easily be incorporated in to the main article per
WP:NOPAGE. The rest of the article consists entirely of violations of
WP:BLPGOSSIP. Remember the following maxim, which is central to Wikipedia (
WP:NOTEVERYTHING): "Information should not be included in this encyclopedia solely because it is true or useful. A Wikipedia article should not be a complete exposition of all possible details, but a summary of accepted knowledge regarding its subject." Filling an article with
WP:INDISCRIMINATE incidents involving Reeves is completely against this principle, and as it stands, I do not believe the article would survive
WP:AFD. I hope you understand this reasoning; if you do not, and you move the page back to article-space upon getting unblocked, please do the courtesy of pinging me. Thank you.

Got it, will ping you if/when. If
Taylor Swift can get an entire section of a dedicated article centred entirely around her tweeting a rebuke of a cheap joke by Ginny & Georgia about how she is "promiscuous with men" garnering media attention, the article I created can survive too. I will cite her article in reflection of Reeves's, and if mine can't survive, I will pursue the same judgement of hers. I believe I remember a talk page discussion where an editor opined that the article sounded like a swiftie fan page, and the consensus was exactly what I am writing to you now: "This article is not representative of her being influential, but is a representation of her media attention, the massive scope of it being the talking point". Again, if I am returned to the article space, I will incite the rules of T-Swift, and discussion in the article's talk page can ensue between us and other parties.
I do agree with you that the upcoming projects section on Reeves's main page needs to be condensed.
I also think better representation of Reeves's impacts on his action films needs better explication.
"Known for his performances in diverse genres, Reeves is famed for his roles in action films" - I think that sounds good in the opening.
