Then, on Curse, there's a link to Curse (disambiguation), which has a link to Cursed (film), which points to Curse... etc. I was getting in a muddle, but looking at the history, I see that you recently moved Cursed (film) to Cursed (2005 film). There's no need to do this per WP:NCF, unless there are other articles also about films called Cursed. Otherwise it's unnecessary disambiguation, and with the redirect pointing to Curse, it meant that a lot of articles were pointing to Curse rather than to the film article. It can't be moved back now except by an admin. Would you object to me making a move request back to Cursed (film)? Normally I would just be bold and do it, but I wasn't sure if maybe you had some other reasoning and perhaps were planning on creating another article about a film under the same name or something. So, just thought I'd check with you about that. If not, I'll go ahead and put in the request. Regards, --BelovedFreak 12:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Nintendo task force membership updateHello, It's that time again to update membership status with the Nintendo task force, which we try to do every 3-4 months (though it's been actually 6 months since the last one) to keep our membership up-to-date. All participants have been placed on an "Inactive participants" list. To confirm that you're still a member of the Nintendo task force, simply go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Nintendo#Members and move your name from the "Inactive participants" list to the bottom of the "Active participants" list. If you are no longer an active member in the task force, you may simply remove your name altogether. After 1 month, on 1 April 2010, all entries under the "Inactive participants" list will be removed. Hopefully you can stay with us and continue to work on Nintendo-related articles.

The InformerWhen you moved The Informer (film) to The Informer (1935 film), and then redirected the old title to the disambiguation page Informer, you may have overlooked the fact that several hundred other Wikipedia articles contain links to "The Informer (film)", as well as other titles that redirected to it (but have since been changed by the double-redirect bot to target the disambiguation page). When you change the target of an existing title, "it is strongly recommended that you modify all pages that link to the old title so they will link to the new title". Thank you. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 14:29, 6 March 2010 (UTC) What do we do about the Ice Age 3 Vandal?The guy who keeps on vandalizing the Animated Film Oscar page (replacing references to The Princess and the Frog with Ice Age 3) is back again. The guy's current IP is 86.174.141.105. This guy just won't quit. What can we do to prevent an edit war from getting further out of hand?Crboyer (talk) 21:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
worldwide is unnecessary, see the template documentationIf you say so, but please don't break the consistency and remove the "worldwide" from the other articles as well. -- Lyverbe (talk) 02:52, 8 March 2010 (UTC) RE: Page movesI think WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is self-explanatory and I believe the articles were in the correct place prior to the moves (esp. The Abyss - no one is going to search for The Abyss (1989 film), for example). And there's the small issue of the articles becoming orphaned after you move them (as per the discussion on your talkpage, above, for The Informer). It would be good that if you move a page, you also check what linked to the old one and fix the redirects as needed and then redirect the original title to the disambig page. Most redirects can be fixed in any templates at the foot of the article (if applicable) and then it's a manual trawl. Lugnuts (talk) 19:28, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

RequestForgive me for posting this the wrong way but I don't know how else to communicate this, however the Wall-E Design With a Purpose link is still incorrect. It should be: http://www.animationartconservation.com/?c=art&p=wall_e_design_with_a_purpose Thanks. I'd be grateful if you could make the change. Thanks.

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotSuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun! SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping. If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S.

Question about Category:2011 films.Hi Bovine, I have been cleaning up the Upcoming films and 2010 films category pages and have just taken a look at the 2011 films category page. Shouldn't all those films be removed until they are released in 2011? Thanks. —Mike Allen 04:10, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Independence Day (film) moveOn the article's talk page - Talk:Independence Day (film)#Requested move. Before making a move, one is supposed to check the talk page to see if it has been discussed before. In this case, it was closed by an admin as "No consensus". In cases where moves have been discussed before, one needs to open a new move discussion. I've asked the closing admin to revert your move as undiscussed and nonconsensual. You are welconme to open a new move discussion, aand gain a consensus to support the move. - BilCat (talk) 00:16, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Moving film articlesI notice you are moving many film articles to Name (year film) even when one of them is clearly the primary topic among films, such as The Diary of Anne Frank (film). I realize you think WP:NCF requires that, but there is no consensus to that effect, as seen at Talk:Independence Day (film), so I would ask you to stop and please use WP:RM for all such moves. It's especially bad when you leave a lot of boken links behind, as well as articles' talk pages. Station1 (talk) 15:14, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
im looking for some advice on the question of making Everything Will Be OK go to (film) (it is currently awaiting consensus) im blundering along and may be inadvertently upsetting an editor which i really wish to avoid. so im looking around to understand how to improve or even compromise to resolve the possible confusion with another DVD from 2005 of the same name - i see there is a hatnote now but that may be adding to the confusion. sorry for blurting into this talk but it seemed relevant as im open to any suggestions. or feel free to ignore. thanks Quasihumano (talk) 09:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC) WikiProject Films March 2010 NewsletterThe March 2010 issue of the Films WikiProject newsletter has been published.

Film infoboxYou do a great job with wikipedia editing but I have a question for you. Why do we still use the parentheses in the infoboxes on films? For example, using the writing screenplay: on a separate line from the writer looks aesthetically immeasurably better than the name of the writer and then the word screenplay in parentheses. I understand that wikipedia has traditionally used the parentheses but I really think the cleaner look should be used in the future. These rules should not be held as being sacred. They should be changed when needed.Donmike10 (talk) 20:22, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
2010 films cat discussionHi. Just letting you know since you also update the 2010 films/Upcoming films categories, that there is a discussion about removing them from upcoming films that are scheduled to be released in that year. See here if you're interested. —Mike Allen 00:57, 18 April 2010 (UTC) Julia PhillipsI think your edit today, removing what you called a "peacock term," was mean-spirited. --El Ingles (talk) 23:41, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
