Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 03:10, 1 February 2011 (UTC) The Big IssueSorry but I really do think you're in error regarding the disambiguation -- I know, because it's the very mistake I had made, too. It is, quite simply, not a film. It is an interactive website. So if we need to go with a "standard" disambiguation term -- something I was not aware of -- would you prefer "The Big Issue (website)"? best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:13, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:The Guard.jpg Thanks for uploading File:The Guard.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:10, 5 February 2011 (UTC) Added template for SuggestBotHi, Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful. We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency. We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly. If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 17:23, 6 February 2011 (UTC) Rowspans in Reese Witherspoon's filmographyOn 17th January, I had added rowspans to Witherspoon's filmography section. You reverted the edit, saying "...can't sort the table if there are rowspans". What exactly did you mean by that? Halemane (talk) 20:59, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
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 Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 11:03, 7 February 2011 (UTC) The Signpost: 7 February 2011

NEDS (film)What, exactly, was your rationale for moving the film that is clearly titled NEDS from NEDS (film) back to the earlier and equally clearly incorrect Neds (film)? As I noted when I first moved it, the BBFC has the [title as an acronym], the poster clearly indicates not only that it's an acronym, but also what it is supposed to stand for.

Hi: I noticed that you reverted from Dylan Riley Snyder to Ryan Wood as playing the Young Tarzan character, with a reference. I suspect that reference is a mirror of one of the former versions of the article. I can't find any other references for a Ryan Wood in Tarzan, but Dylan Riley Snyder is listed in the IBDB ([1]) as an alternate (as of September 15, 2006), and is also listed in this playbill article: [[2]]. Here's Dylan's bio from his website:[3]. (No, I'm not his mother :D) I won't do anything with the article, I trust your good judgement! JeanColumbia (talk) 13:40, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of IllusionsRemoving that from the infobox makes no sense. I agree it shouldn't show release dates for Japan, US, UK, Canada, NZ, etc, but it should show the original release, and the first English release, or readers might come to the article, look at the infobox, and think it never came out in English. The "rule" you are citing is just documentation for how to use the infobox effectively. It doesn't need to be strictly followed. Even if it does, ever heard of WP:IAR? It betters the article to not follow this rule, so I am ignoring it. I am not going to revert again though. I will wait for somebody else to inevitably add it back.

No external links to Youtube?I looked around a little and found a discussion explaining why YouTube videos are not desired. It makes some sense to me, but I wonder if the powers that be around wikipedia are aware of recent (within about a year or so) technology that YouTube has deployed called the Content ID Tool? This is a system that is in place which automatically matches uploaded content to content that copyright holders have provided to YouTube for the purpose of identifying infringing materials. Some of what's terrific about this system is that: 1) it's automated. 2) it gives the copyright holders multiple choices about how to deal with infringing material that is identified. 3) it can match on only audio, only video, or both. 4) they provide a disputes mechanism. I personally am on both sides of this system. I'm both an infringer (though not for any monetary gain) and a publisher and a content author. I can explain my personal involvement more if you like, but I'm mentioning the Content ID System because I'm wondering if the powers that be at Wikipedia are aware of this system? It seems to me if taken into consideration it might allow for the posting of external links to YouTube content. Here's why.... In the past you didn't know if the person posting a video on YouTube had the right to post that video. Now in a way, it does not matter, because soon after they've posted the video the Content ID System will identify if it contains infringing material (video, audio, or both). Once identified the system will automatically apply the usage policy specified by the rights owner(s). This means if the rights owner wants the material taken down the link will just become a dead link (which I'm guessing Wikipedia already handles). If the rights owner doesn't object to the material being on YouTube then it would seem to follow that, providing the material meets other Wikipedia posting guidelines, there should be no concern about infringement. I'm obviously not all that familiar with Wikipedia. You seem to be a very active editor/user. If you think this would be of interest I hope you'll share this with the appropriate people. Thanks! ThanksThanks for dotting the categories in my userspace, Articles were supposed to move to mainspace but they stalled and I forgot about them. Thanks again, cheers!

ProblemThere is a little problem occuring. IP 208.137.161.9 has been going to various cast lists, such as Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers and altering the cast list. I reverted all Musketeers edits, but i'm concerned whether or not he did this elsewhere. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 22:10 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Searching with film name + lead star allowed me to find that principle filming began in August 2010, was shooting at least through January 2011, and had completed by early February 2011. Might I request a revist to the AFD? Thank. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:52, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Not the pointYou win, I'm done arguing after this. You just keep pushing "the problem" away instead of discussing, when I give you very specific information about a specific article. I don't seek to establish the protocol for film/book differences sections in all of Wikipedia, I merely added relevant information to an article that you alone deemed irrelevant without allowing others to enter the discussion. Since then, you have refused to back down and reconsider the information. Perhaps it could have been redacted more clearly, perhaps I should have cited as a reference the book (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, ISBN 978-0439136365) though I deemed it unnecessary for I was writing about it. Thank you for making Wikipedia a little less open. That is all.190.17.208.152 (talk) 01:09, 22 February 2011 (UTC) The Signpost: 21 February 2011

Thanks!Just wanted to thank you for your prompt response in assessing the article Manhunter (film). I was expecting a bit of a wait, so your speedy response was greatly appreciated! That said, I've gone back over the article bearing mind your comment about the need for a full "reception" section, and have sourced and cited several reviews for the film, both contemporary and retrospective, and am wondering if there is anything further that I would need to research and/or add. Any further pointers you could add would be a great help. Thanks again. GRAPPLE X 21:25, 22 February 2011 (UTC) Help NeededWazzup, since I've seen you on the Wikiproject Film, I want to request your help for check and fix errors on Rachel Weisz's article, currently on review for featured article. Hope to hear from you soon, thanks for your time.--Gduwen (talk) 21:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Americanidiotplaybill.jpg Thank you for uploading File:Americanidiotplaybill.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale. If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 10:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC) The Streets: Computers and Blues - ReviewsYou removed the reviews I inserted into the infobox of the album Computers and Blues by The Streets. I'm sorry, I didn't realise they were no longer supposed to be in infoboxes. However, it was an effort on my part to compile all those reviews. Could you not have just moved it to the appropriate section? Tommer312 (talk) 20:39, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
posters of the Chinese films - wikicommonsHi , please next time use the wikicommons for the posters of the Chinese films. That would also good if you upload the posters again to the wikicommons.  Wikimedia Commons has media related to Category:Movie posters of China. Wikimedia Commons has media related to Category:Films of China. --Fihsdf (talk) 11:53, 24 February 2011 (UTC) The Signpost: 28 February 2011
