Original research and production companies

I saw that you changed some content in the infobox at Muppets from Space. Per this consensus, production companies should be explicitly identified as such by reliable sources. This is to prevent original research in identifying which companies listed in the billing block are distributors, which are production companies, and which are contractually obligated to appear without being either. Variety is usually a very good source, but when their reviews simply reproduce the billing block, causing the same original research problem. One could pick companies from the billing block and argue that they belong (or don't belong) in any of the fields. When the companies are explicitly labeled, like AFI does, it is more useful than scanning the billing block and deciding which ones to include yourself.

May 2018

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

• User contributions
• Recent changes
• Watchlists
• Revision differences
• IRC channels
• Related changes
• New pages list
• Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 16:40, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Puss in Boots

While I understand your intentions may have been to make Puss in Boots look like other film articles, please keep in mind a few things. First, only the primary genre should be in the opening line per WP:FILMLEAD. Also, we should avoid long strings of individual links per WP:SEAOFBLUE. You can review other style guidelines at WP:MOS and MOS:FILM. If you have any questions about this, please discuss your concerns at the article's talk page. Avoid back-and-forth reverting, which can be seen as edit warring and is not permitted. Don't hesitate to contact me as well if you have any general questions about editing on Wikipedia. Thank you. --GoneIn60 (talk) 00:07, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

RE: Just clearing up a recent edit...

I undid your edits because you added All Movie as source, and it is unreliable. You can restore all you want, but you can't add All Movie as source. According to WP:FILMLEAD as well, sources aren't welcome at the top of the articles. Greetings. Tajotep (talk) 15:21, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Tajotep: Huh. Last time I recalled, AllMovie was listed here as a suggested source, and GoneIn60 also told me it was one as well according to his talk page. IceWalrus236 (talk) 15:26, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Ok. Sorry for making you dizzy, you are right. In any case, All Movie can't be sourced at the lead due to WP:FILMLEAD. Tajotep (talk) 15:35, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Tajotep: Then how are we supposed to (properly) cite genres? IceWalrus236 (talk) 15:43, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

I don't know, but take a look on, for example, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (GA and it doesn't cite genres). Same as Jaws (FA and it doesn't cite genres). Sometimes the genre can be discussed, but if you add the genre without sources, it's allright too. --Tajotep (talk) 23:15, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

November 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Shrek the Third, you may be blocked from editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:48, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

• I'm getting a bit tired of explaining to you that you can not remove sourced content from Wikipedia simply because you disagree with it. When a source says something, you can't simply remove it and the sourced content. Instead, raise the issue on the talk page and get consensus. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:54, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
  • Sorry about that. The reason I swapped the source in the first place was because AFI listed DreamWorks Animation as a distributor, which was completely incorrect. Paramount Pictures was the sole distributor of the film (well, until 2014, that is), so I used a source for the Shrek the Third page that reflects this. Just wanted to clear that up.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

December 2020

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Return to Never Land. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:23, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

{{infobox film}} is pretty clear about this. If a source says that "X" is the production company, that's what Wikipedia says. If the source lists some other company as "in association with" or "presented by" or whatever else, that does not necessarily make the other company a production company. If it were a production company, it would be listed as such. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:31, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I just did some research and remembered to add the proper sources for the additional companies this time around. IceWalrus236 (talk) 13:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
