Project XHi I see you reverted my information that added to the page of Project X (2012) film. I was curious to know why you did that. I put the information there because it is information that many would be interested in and I gave a credible link. Let me know, thanks
I would argue that it is very much notable and relevant. As soon as I saw the movie, I instantly thought of that case and searched on the internet to find out if it was based on it. I found many sites with people asking the same question and there weren't many answers. Perhaps it wasn't the first party of its kind but the parallels to the Delaney party were just too uncanny to be ignored. Even the news interview at the end of movie was almost a spitting image of the famous one Delaney gave to Australian news media. Sure, it may not need to be in the first part but I think a mention somewhere in the article is warranted. There are many people searching for this information so I would say it's definitely relevant. Sevenlee
Dredd box office grossHello Darkwarriorblake. You reverted an edit by a user who corrected the box office gross of Dredd. I'm not saying that you are incorrect I'm saying that your source is incorrect. I agree with the user mentioned here since Box Office Mojo's predictions are much more accurate. I know it has the status of a good article and an edit war can make it lose this status. Please try talking with other users before reverting the box office gross if you want to. Than you.

The Matrix article, new article section/layout?I've started another discussion on the new section/layout of the article. I've recently added a significant amount of info on pre-production into the Production section, and I'm considering breaking the Production section down a bit. Your opinions in that regard and general comment on my newly added info are appreciated. Anthonydraco (talk) 07:26, 23 December 2012 (UTC) Holiday cheer
Some baklava for you!
"The Wachowski Brothers"Edit war? Eek! Excuse my naïve actions - I have never edited Wikipedia before, and just happened to notice that in the Speed Racer (film) article, the phrase "the Wachowski brothers" was hyperlinked to the page now titled The Wachowskis. I was merely trying to amend that, as the phrase "the Wachowski brothers" incorrectly implies that both siblings are male. Even though this movie was produced before Lana Wachowski came out publicly as transgender, the gender-neutral phrase "the Wachowskis" does not call in to question the sometimes confusing situation of referring to transgender people in the past tense. I can see that you are an extremely experienced Wikipedia editor, and I wholly apologize for any overstepping of boundaries I have committed. However, allowing these changes to stand is not what I would consider disconstructive. Again, I apologize for not complying with Wikipedia's rules of common courtesy, as they are completely unknown by me. Thank you for your time.

From your experience, do you think this will pass?Dear Blake, I need to ask you a few things. First, I've been almost alone doing 'The Matrix' film article, and I'm not sure if I can keep this up too long after the vacation is over. So... I'm gonna ask for your experience a bit regarding making it a GA. Do you think the contents we have now in each sections are enough? Some sections like Casting, Pre-production, Music, and Filming (if unsourced contents are removed) are really short. I don't know if they require significant amount in each section or GA reviewers allow some to be short if the sources are rare. (The film's so old now.) I've been digging for sources, but honestly, I can't keep this up much longer, because there are only so many online; reliable physical sources in English are almost non-existent in a non-English speaking country like mine. Supposed that if I just give up now and remove everything tagged 'citation needed', and just have the Language Guild improve its English, then ask for GA evaluation, do you think the article will stand a chance? Which citation style do you think we should go for? It currently contains citation style 1 most. And do you have more sources for the article, especially for casting, pre-production, filming locations, and music? Online sources are welcomed; physical sources will be invaluable. The one I'm looking for especially is The Matrix Revisited DVD. Nick R said he would dig it up and watch it again, but I haven't heard more about it in a while. Only one additional offline reference provided so far. Any sources to expand/cover those short sections are desperately welcomed. Do GA reviewers consider the standing of the contributor? I've been doing it almost alone recently, and I don't think mine is that high. Anthonydraco (talk) 06:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

The Watch"Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Examples of typical vandalism are adding irrelevant obscenities and crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page." I fail to see how MY contribution was considered "VANDALISM". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.78.142 (talk) 03:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC) or perhaps you're unaware of Wikipidia's SUPPOSED policy of assuming good faith rather than immediately assuming vandalism "Even if misguided, willfully against consensus, or disruptive, any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism." 98.242.78.142 (talk) 03:46, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Re: Dredd video clipSorry to just now have gotten back to you, I've only been editing sporadically over the holidays. But to answer your question I don't think gore is a problem after all Wikipedia is not censored. I am more worried about the use video at all. As you know we take our fair-use policy of copyprotected images very seriously and a video clip is essentially many single images. So make sure that the effect cannot be adequately described in prose and is well supported by content in the article. Also the clip should be edited down to minimal length required to achieve to the desired result. Hope this helps, oh and by the way;

A little help?Blake, since you're here, I'd like a little opinion. User VasOling on The Dark Knight Rises article insists on saying it received "a warm critical response" in the lede. And that it received positive reviews from "most" critics. I believe this is against practice on most film articles, and I want to wrap this up as soon as possible. I'm starting a talk page discussion as we speak, but he has a history of edit warring, so I'm not sure if he's going to listen. I've reverted him once already.

I am no longer surprised, but still find it peculiar that discussions can be so illogical, even in the "highest quarters". You are criticising what you think is premature closure of a FAC. An answer assumes explicitly that you are complaining about lack of reviewers. Prometheus was accessed 2 M times the last 90 days and Arkham .5 M. You produce stuff that people are interested in reading and that therefore is very important for Wikipedia. It is also peculiar how the people who work on FAC seem so little interested in prioritizing what is important for the readers. --Ettrig (talk) 08:24, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
 You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. PrometheusYou wrote: ' all he says is "sometimes in order to create you must destroy", its personal interpretation what htat means, it certainly doesn't mean you can say they're off to make a new species.' --My reason for mentioning this in the plot was not so much to say that the Engineers wanted to replace humanity with one of their newer creations, but to add continuity to the story because when Shaw warned Janek that the Engineer's spacecraft was en route to Earth to destroy humanity, she could have known this only because David had reported that from the star maps that he examined previously, he deduced that Engineers were in the process of leaving for Earth before the outbreak decimated them. (Shaw could not have figured this out without David's revelation from the star maps he examined.) It was within the context when Shaw asked why Engineers were going to Earth that David answered "sometimes in order to create you must destroy", and in this case, at least, David certainly meant that Engineers were planning to destroy the human race, whether they want to replace humanity with other species or not. 1) At least David did mean that Engineers were in the process of leaving for Earth with their deadly cargo before the outbreak that killed most of them except the one in the hypersleep chamber, as he clearly reported to Weyland and Shaw that he deduced this from the star maps when he previously visited the control room. 2) Now you claim that this does not mean that the Engineers were planning to create other species to replace the human race after they destroy it, but in this context given that it is clear that David meant that Engineers were going to earth do destroy humanity, it is therefore also clear that David additionally thinks that the reason the Engineers wanted to annihilate the humans was to make room for new species they plan to create on Earth. In other words, David's answer "sometimes in order to create you must destroy" to Shaw's question is concise but it contains two peaces of information, not only why the Engineers were going to Earth, but also why, in his opinion, they wanted to destroy humanity.FormalLogician (talk) 16:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
When Shaw said at the end of the film that she wanted to find out why Engineers wanted to destroy humanity, this is not repetition, what she means is that she wants to learn why the Engineers found something wrong with humanity (she is religious and she views things within the context of "what sin did we commit?", etc.) Otherwise it is possible that for the Engineers humans were just a science experiment that they wanted to modify by replacing the old model with a newer model, etc, but Shaw sees it from a more emotional perspective. Also the first scene of the movie where the Engineer destroyed himself to create humanity, no longer applies exactly in the same way because humanity already exists, and this time it is humanity that will be destroyed before something new is created on Earth.FormalLogician (talk) 16:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

The Man with the Iron FistsHey Darkwarrior, the foreign figures of your source BOM add up to a total of 3 million dollars only while it states it to be a total of nearly 4 million dollars.

Batman: Arkham CityThere is mention made of Nightwing and Robin being playable in challenege maps, but no prior explanation is given of what these challenge maps comprise.
