There is one thing though, it's about the formatting of your citations, take a lot at Template:Cite web on the proper wikipedia format to use, or check out any of the FA or GA articles on WP:PW that'll show you how they're used and everything. Just a pointer since we all got to learn somehow, some way so why not right away? If you have any comments or questions feel free to ask. MPJ-DK 15:07, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

I should have let you know yesterday that when you add "p." to the Publication datesIs there any particular reason to think The New York Times is a good source for precise publication dates?[1] Was the "Books Today" column published daily or weekly? Was it intended to be a daily summary of all the books published that day, or merely a summary of recently published books that might be of interest to Times readers? — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 04:21, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
Unsourced editorializing and reliable sourcesWhen writing a reception section, please be sure to avoid original research. This includes synthesis: using multiple sources to come to a conclusion that none of them individually reached. For example, you can't add 10 reviews to a reception, then summarize what the film's reception was ("Reviews were mixed"). Similarly, if you find 10 more reviews from a decade later, you can't write that the film has been critically reassessed. We need a source that says the original reception was mixed, and then we need a source that says the film was reassessed. I find this a bit limiting myself sometimes, but these are core policies of Wikipedia. We can't perform our own analysis; this is why we have review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes. We can cite their analysis, and hope that they mention the film's reassessment, if there was one. Also, please be aware that not every site in the internet is a reliable source. Reliable sources need editorial control, a history of fact checking, and to be staffed by professional journalists. This means that self-published blogs, user-generated content, and the IMDb are not usuable. If in doubt, generally, you should stick to newspapers, magazines, and books from reputable publishers.

I always like to see reviews from at least Roger Ebert or Variety magazine in a film article. There have been many discussion and different opinions over the use of Rotten Tomatoes at Wikipedia:WikiProject Film although few of them have been conclusive enough to result in changes to the WP:MOSFILM style guidelines. Some editors are reluctant to include Rotten Tomatoes in any articles from before 1998 when Rotten Tomatoes was created. They feel that the small number of reviews that have been collected in retrospect (or from later rereleases) can give a very skewed score (usually skewed more positive with hindsight). Personally I'm already very skeptical about review scores including Rotten Tomatoes, so I've no problem including them and leaving it to readers to interpret the numbers, but more importantly look at the reviews and decide if they might like the film anyway irrespective of the score it got. A reader might enjoy the film as an example of that genre even if no one thought it was a classic, and some films are so bad they're good. There was a recent suggestion that editors should specify "As of" when the Rotten Tomatoes score was added in the article text, and there was some discussion about it. Some thought it was a good idea, others didn't think it was necessary. The reason I draw your attention to this particular discussion is because in some of your edits you have added Rotten Tomatoes to film articles using the wording "It currently holds a 99% approval rating" and I would urge you to avoid using the word "currently" entirely. The guidelines at WP:RELTIME explain further why it is not a good idea for an encyclopedia to use words such as "now", "recent", or "currently". As the discussion suggested you could say "As of" and specify the date if you really want, that's up to you, but I would ask that you please avoid using the phrase "currently". That's all, thanks. -- 109.76.159.225 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2019 (UTC) ArbCom 2019 election voter messageDisambiguation link notification for December 21An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Running Man (1987 film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Max Headroom (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). (Opt-out instructions.) --DPL bot (talk) 08:05, 21 December 2019 (UTC) PresentlyI notice you added a whole lot of reviews and Rotten Tomatoes to an old film article[2] which is good. But I also noticed you used the phrase "The film presently holds an approval rating" which is not a good way to phrase things for an encyclopedia, since vague time based phrases such as "presently" or "currently" should be avoided. See WP:RELTIME for more information. Some editors, think it is best to be very specific and include a date reference in the article text "As of August 2020" so you could do that if you like, but please avoid using "presently" or "currently". I don't include the date overtly in the text, I think including a date in the reference as you did in your edit is more than enough. Thanks. -- 109.79.82.126 (talk) 23:14, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
ArbCom 2020 Elections voter messageMonth articlesCBJ77, I want to alert you that there's an editor, User:JamesLucas-A, who is on a campaign of some sort to remake all of the articles in the months of the 1920s category and other month articles that you had started and maintained, as in this example [3]. If you encounter this type of makeover from this editor on one of your pages, please let me know. As far as I can tell, he's never contributed any research or writing to any of these; he edits other the work of other persons. I'm doing what I can to catch what's on my watchlist, and I have a feeling that your 1928 articles will be next. If you know of other regular contributors to this project, please let them know as well. Mandsford 18:59, 8 April 2021 (UTC) |
