Batman returns

Hi I wanted to ask if you would take a look at the Batman returns modern reception part of its article. It seems to be written in wikipuffery in this section and multiple user have brought up it looks like it was written by a fan and that a lot of the sources might not be usable or reliable for such claims but one user monitors and controls the page

In the years since its release, Batman Returns has been positively reappraised.[154][186] It is now regarded as among the best superhero films ever made,[ai] the best sequels,[aj] and the best Batman films made.[ak][209] Screen Rant called it the best Batman film of the 20th century[155] and, in 2018, GamesRadar+ named it the best Batman film.[210] Batman Returns was number 401 on Empire's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.[211] Some publications have identified Batman Returns as part of Burton's unofficial Christmas trilogy, bookended by Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, and it has become an alternative-holiday film along with films such as Die Hard (1988).[al] Some publications have also listed it as one of the best Christmas films.[am]

Hi again Jaszen. Bit of a risky manoeuvre launching your latest sock with a post to my talk page, no? It appears you're getting a tad desperate... Barry Wom (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Big reverts for small problems

Hi! I was just doing some editing over at Sweetpea (TV series) and noticed there were a couple of times where you reverted edits with completely valid justifications pertaining to a specific part of the edit, but reverted the entire edit, causing the loss of otherwise productive changes. I totally understand that this kind of thing can be done on accident, and it seems that in this case the parts you reverted that were fine have later been fixed by other editors, but it may be worthwhile to double check how much you're reverting before you do so, and maybe make manual reverts for specific parts instead of wholesale rollbacks where appropriate. Cheers and thank you for all the cleanup you do! 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 22:19, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful if you could supply diffs for the edits to which you're referring. Barry Wom (talk) 12:34, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For example, in this diff you reverted because release dates were incorrectly changed, but also in that edit were episode summaries that user had written which were lost in the process. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, looks like a bit of collateral damage there. Barry Wom (talk) 15:15, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Just something to look out for. 🌸⁠wasianpower⁠🌸 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

question about link specificity and reversion

Hello, I just noticed that you reverted a link for New York City. Should I have linked Manhattan instead, where the actors lived and worked? Thank you for your time and have a nice day. Lime green k (talk) 10:44, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reference states "New York" which I presume is equivalent to "New York City". No need for a piped link. Barry Wom (talk) 13:14, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Men Tell No Tales

Can you please check out the new topic I posted on the Dead Men Tell No Tales talk page about it being a sequel? 2600:4040:A5BC:0:510:F6C5:D9C9:5D6B (talk) 16:46, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That -st suffix

Hi, in case you missed the link in my edit summary comment, see the whilst article for a list of UK style guides that recommend against using words with the -st suffix like whilst, amidst, etc.

Also, I couldn't find a single occurrence of any of those words in the entire script of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, although it does include several occurrences of the word "while" where "whilst" could have been used.

That's why I removed it from the article. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:10, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "whilst" article would appear to have cherry-picked three British English style guides as a form of confirmation bias for American readers to whom "whilst" appears outmoded.

The Cambridge Guide to English Usage, Collins English Dictionary and Fowler's Dictionary Of Modern English Usage are all agnostic on the matter. The Oxford Guide to Style actually uses "amongst" in the text.

The absence of "amongst" and "whilst" in the script are irrelevant. This is a plot summary written in British English, where the use of "amongst" is perfectly acceptable. Barry Wom (talk) 12:08, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About me

What's your problem? Just because I'm called Jean doesn't mean I'm that same guy. Just because an edit comes from a sockpuppet user is it bad? Does the fact that I like that edit because it has its sources make me a sockpuppet? I have no problem with you, so you come to bother me and slander me. I could say that you are a sockpuppet of some other guy, you wouldn't like that. So don't do to others what you wouldn't like done to you. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Assassination of Luis Carlos Galán

Do all articles created by socks have to be deleted? Can I work on this? Bearian (talk) 03:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to contest the deletion, I'm not going to argue about it. The article does need a fair amount of copyediting though. And given the majority of references are in Spanish, it'll require a decent knowledge of the language. Barry Wom (talk) 11:12, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try and touch it up with @Bearian. In the meantime, I'll object. Not sure if we need a separate article on the assassination, but cursory searches show a lot of English-language sources from credible publishers. Rcfische2 (talk) 21:48, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, folks. Bearian (talk) 21:54, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you piece of poop. I don't know nor do I care what problem you had with the person who created that sock account, but that doesn't mean you should ruin the constructive edits he makes. You are only showing that you are worse than him. Let's be completely frank; you disrespect Wikipedia, you disrespect others with your actions, and you disrespect yourself. You as a Wikipedia editor are embarrassing, you as a person are pitiful, and you as a man (if you are one) are disgusting. If you had dignity, you would withdraw from Wikipedia, but not before reversing the disasters you made. What doesn't cost you time turns into a disaster. A source is a source regardless of the language, but you clearly have a phobia towards Spanish speakers regardless of whether they are from Spain or Latin America. Have dignity and withdraw from Wikipedia. Damn you and all the stubborn people who vandalize in a sneaky manner and sow intrigue. Who sows winds, reaps storms. 2800:484:738F:15F0:8D25:6CA2:D10A:39BE (talk) 02:42, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Con la presente cuenta tuve que crear otras dos y lo acepto abiertamente; JeanMercier90 en reemplazo de esta para poder hacer distintas cosas en Wikipedia en inglés ya que la gente en esa Wiki varias veces no hace pero tampoco deja hacer, como El perro del hortelano. Barry Wom (talk) 11:57, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's already too clear; you have a strange phobia, possibly xenophobia, towards Spanish speakers, so much so that you go to the Spanish Wikipedia to do these things. Reading that link carefully, the man has Asperger's syndrome; and everything seems to indicate that you and other editors also hate people with Asperger's. 2800:484:738F:15F0:14D3:9A5A:4484:FA0F (talk) 16:20, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A spaniard/spanish phobia you have. You're a big turd and I dedicate you this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64LvX1Uvn-Y&rco=1. 2800:484:738F:15F0:31:32BA:D825:1EEA (talk) 22:14, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

About you

Apparently you are still causing problems on Wikipedia, the record does not lie. You lack dignity as you were told before. 2800:484:738F:15F0:B9D4:5118:BC3D:9B58 (talk) 16:29, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The truth about you

You're the most big türd in all the world. You are nothing more than a lõser who loves to bully others, believing himself to be better when he is nothing more than a huge pile of excrement. You must sit over this. 186.155.202.137 (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
