Questionable Casting[edit]
Hello, Karloffornia! I'm a little concerned with some of your edits, as they appear to be attributing some credits that are not in the sources you have provided. In this edit to Frankenweenie, you gave character names to several actors, with sources. The trouble is, this source makes absolutely no mention up Tom Kenny playing "Fire Chief / Soldier / Townsfolk", this source makes absolutely no mention of Conchata Ferrell playing "Bob's Mom", this source makes absolutely no mention of James Hiroyuki Liao playing "Toshiaki", etc. Where exactly are you getting these character names from? Because they are not in the sources you provided. I noticed that in the past you have had at least two instances of inserting credits that are actually completely false: here where you credit Christopher Lee as Charles Darwin, and here where you credit Paul Whitehouse as "the Dodo" with a source that clearly does not support that.
Could you let me know what's going on with these edits, please? There have been several vandals inserting deliberately false credits in many articles like these, and it would very good to know that you are not vandalizing any articles with false credits. Thank you! Doc talk 22:32, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
- NOTE - It also appears that you have a serious problem forgetting to sign into this account, instead showing up as different IP addresses. Besides the edits to your userpage from you while you were logged out with 4 different IPs, there are quite a few more that I have found that are unquestionably you:

If you want to edit only anonymously as random IPs, then you can do that. But you're not supposed to switch back and forth between IPs and your named account. Cheers...

[edit]
Hello Sir/ Ma'am,
I appreciate your concern. I can sort of explain all of the questions you had. Sort of. First off, I wanted to say that I am by no means trying to vandalize anything. I just do this sort of thing when I bored and discover new information. I have also learned, quite recently, that I have been using citation improperly, and I apologize for that >_< It's a learning experience.
To answer your concern on the "Alice in Wonderland" credit, which was in 2010 by the way and has been since changed properly, it was originally announced, falsely, that Noah Taylor was playing the March Hare and Paul Whitehouse, the Dodo. That link was used, however, because it showed an official press release from Dinsey that mentioned Whitehouse under the credits. It was later discovered that he was replacing Taylor.
As for the "Museum" film, and Sir Christopher, that was changed because I am member of Sir Christopher's official website and it was originally announced that he was indeed signed on to play Darwin in that film. This later was also proved as false.
As for the "Frankenweenie", I may or may not have done the wrong thing. The characters are indeed not listed in those citations. I was merely citing the sources for the actors. The characters were officially released in a Press Release from Disney. I suppose I shouldn't have listed it as there is no way to properly cite it.
Finally, as for the multiple sign-on...things...haha, so this is kind of embarrassing, but if it will make you feel better, I have a serious problem with memory. I even take meds for it. Again, it has nothing to do with me intentionally trying to confuse people with multiple accounts...I just sometimes forget to login. Which actually makes me sad, because I feel that sometimes, I provide some worth while information that I should take credit for >_<
Thank you for your concern, and I apologize once again. I will definitely be more careful in the future. Oh, and sorry for the late response. I hardly have time for wiki anymore! >_< Best, Karloff

- Cool - thanks for the reply! I didn't really think you were a vandal, as most of the ones I deal with usually don't bother to reply to anything. Some of them have hit the pages you have edited as well (particularly Night At the Museum), so I was just trying to be sure: sorry if I came off too harsh at all! Just a little while ago I reverted the edits of 98.70.34.25 (talk · contribs), who is obsessed with dinosaurs and Frank Welker. This vandal jumps IPs all the time, but never talks to anyone, so I don't even bother trying to give him vandalism warnings. Anyway, thanks again for the explanations, and Happy Editing!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tim Gunn, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Asexual. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
