Orphaned non-free image File:Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man 2.jpg Thanks for uploading File:Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man 2.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 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). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:36, 18 January 2018 (UTC) IMDb and toneHey, would you mind polishing your tone regarding your comments about IMDb? I'm worried that we're scaring off the editor.

Quentin TarantinoHi, in regards to the edits about supporting Roman Polanski on the Tarantino page, this source (https://jezebel.com/heres-audio-of-quentin-tarantino-defending-roman-polans-1822745916) includes this: “He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word rape around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around. It doesn’t apply to everything people use it for.” Reminded by Robin Quivers that Polanski’s victim—who had been plied with quaaludes and alcohol before her assault—did not want to have sex with Polanski, Tarantino became riled up. Tarantino: No, that was not the case AT ALL. She wanted to have it and dated the guy and—" If I used this source, would I be able to point out that he falsely recounted the case, or does it also not count because the article doesn't directly state that he presented false information? Thanks. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 15:41, 6 February 2018 (UTC) D'oh!Thanks for the catch on BP!
ThanksJust wanted to say: Thank you for the kind words. I try hard to help improve Wikipedia, and it means a lot to me that good editors like yourself take notice. Your words are much appreciated.--Tenebrae (talk) 21:13, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
Inquiry from The Washington PostHi there, My name is Sonia, and I write for The Washington Post. I'm interested in pursuing a story about Wikipedia users who update/edit pages detailing specific histories of the Academy Awards (e.g. "List of black Academy Award winners and nominees"). I believe you might have edited a similar page in the past, perhaps around when the nominations were announced. People who are simply curious often end up on these informative pages, and I believe our readers might find it interesting to hear the story behind the quick edits — are there some Wikipedia users who wait for the nominations to be announced and then update the pages immediately? How do you keep track of all the history? And so on. If you'd be interested in chatting with me, please let me know. I can be reached at sonia.rao@washpost.com. Thanks!

♪♫♬ Ba-ba, ba-ba-barilla ♪♫♬Hey Sock. Not sure if you have been busy or not and no pressure or anything but do you think you will be able to get back to the Barbarella review soon? :) I know you have been busy and you can take all the time you need. Just figured I'd check in to see what the situation is. Hope all is well. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:16, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
@Andrzejbanas: Gonna get this done during my lunch today. At a cursory glance, it's looking like we'll finally be promoting this bad boy. Again, I can't apologize enough for how scattered my availability has been. I make a good 90% of my edits on my phone at this point, so I don't even see the talk page messages. Sock (
It wasn't deleted because regular editors can only swap two existing pages, not move one and delete the other. Might be more fitting to use {{db-u1}}. -- AlexTW 10:06, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
I don't think the article should announce that they have split until there's official confirmation. Aitch & Aitch Aitch (talk) 15:28, 29 April 2018 (UTC) WikiCup 2018 May newsletterThe second round of the 2018 WikiCup has now finished. Most contestants who advanced to the next round scored upwards of 100 points, but two with just 10 points managed to scrape through into round 3. Our top scorers in the last round were:
So far contestants have achieved twelve featured articles between them and a splendid 124 good articles. Commendably, 326 GARs have been completed during the course of the 2018 WikiCup, so the backlog of articles awaiting GA review has been reduced as a result of contestants' activities. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met; most of the GARs are fine, but a few have been a bit skimpy. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

About your revert of my edit on the Kids See Ghost articleHey, I hope this isn't the wrong place to ask this, but I'm wondering why you reverted it. ~~Craiko~~
Hi Sock. I note that you are a member of the Documentary films task force of WikiProject Film. There is currently a discussion on Talk:Vaxxed spawned from my edit request that attempted to add the genre label "documentary" to the opening sentence of the article, as the Manual of Style requests. Unfortunately for some reason editors seem to neither believe the film is a documentary, nor will they consider removing it from Category:Pseudoscience documentary films. In my view this makes the article contradict itself. I was hoping as a member of the Documentary films task force you would be best placed to provide a justification for whether a film is indeed a documentary or not, and thus what categories and genre labels are appropriate for this article. Thanks. --85.211.212.153 (talk) 20:19, 26 June 2018 (UTC) Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:14, 21 July 2018 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for July 23Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Unsane (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Secondly, you erased more than remixes from the songs template anyway, so please don't erase either of these in the future.

The eight users who made it to the final round had to score a minimum of 422 points to qualify, with the top score in the round being 4869 points. The leaders in round 4 were:
During round four, 6 featured articles and 164 good articles were promoted by WikiCup contestants, 13 articles were included in good topics and 143 good article reviews were performed. There were also 10 "in the news" contributions on the main page and 53 "did you knows". Congratulations to all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition. Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5. Remember too that you must claim your points within 10 days of "earning" them. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. It would be helpful if this list could be cleared of any items no longer relevant. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs!

That sounded like a pretty logical argument to me and I've been following it on other television articles that I have edited since. I've been running into a bit of trouble over on the article for Manifest where one editor keeps moving a younger appearance of a character to the guest section and out of the paragraph for the character that already exists in the main section. I was hoping you'd take a look at it if you have the time. Sincerely, BoogerD (talk) 20:30, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
