December 2014

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, some changes are controversial and should be discussed with other editors before being made. At least one of your edits, such as the one you made to Scarlett Johansson, appears to have gone against established consensus and has been reverted. Please check the article's talk page for discussion about this topic with other editors. If you wish, you can open or continue the discussion there to help establish consensus for your edits. Be sure to check the welcome page to learn more about how Wikipedia operates, and feel free to ask any questions. Thank you. Sock (tock talk) 13:23, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Lawrence Makoare, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 22:39, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

When you leave an edit summary could you please make it more relevant to the changes you are making. Adding words and a whole sentence to an article is not really covered by "Typo". Britmax (talk) 11:38, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Release sections

1

Don't move Home media sections above Box office sections in film articles, as you did at The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. They should be in chronological order. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film. - Gothicfilm (talk) 18:18, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Dibyendutwipzbiswas, see what I stated with this edit at the Man of Steel (film) article.

And, Gothicfilm, see what the lead of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film states; different styles are allowed. No Wikipedia film article has to use the same style. There are exceptions, of course; for example, the Plot section is supposed to come first. Flyer22 (talk) 17:39, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for adding your voice Flyer22 (talk). Are "exceptions" as you said can be set as example ?? DtwipzBTalk 13:19, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome, Dibyendutwipzbiswas. And Happy Holidays. As for your question, I'm not sure what you mean by "exceptions," but what I mean by the word is a section that is placed the same way for any film article, such as the Plot section coming first, the Cast or Casting section coming second, the External links section coming last. As for variety when it comes to outlining a film article; it's like the lead of Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Film states. As you can see, that lead points to examples.

On a side note: If you ping me via WP:Echo, you usually will not have to give me a talkback note. That stated, I didn't get your ping; so your talkback note was useful. If you reply again, this time you can wait for me to check your talk page for a reply and I'll reply then if it seems that I should. Flyer22 (talk) 14:35, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

If you keep WP:Edit warring over matters such as this, I am taking the issue to WP:Film. Like I stated to you before, it is silly to keep forcing your personal preferences on film articles, especially when those preferences violate the MOS:Paragraphs guideline about a little bit of content generally not needing a subheading, and the MOS:ACCESS guideline when it comes to semicolons; see this discussion on Favre1fan93's talk page where Sock addressed Favre1fan93 about MOS:ACCESS. And, of course, you've already seen the aforementioned statement NinjaRobotPirate made on inappropriate use of semicolons. When you are reverted on your style preferences, then either leave the matter alone or take the matter to the article talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 05:23, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

@Flyer22: Sorry, for the late reply. There's no need to take the issue to WP:Film. That's a suggestion and if you already did so, am cool with that; in that case I request you to paste the link here, so that I can join the conversation and make my case. To get back to the conversation, I get your point. It's not like that, am out here to do whatever I please, I'm here to help out. Sometimes it may seem that's not the case, but I can guarantee you that's not my intention. I'm sorry for any trouble that I cause. And FYI, I started to follow the article outline wherever possible.

On a completely unrelated note, what are you views on the new Fantastic 4 trailer ? Do you care to comment ??DtwipzBTalk 14:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that, Dibyendutwipzbiswas. I thought that you would likely be bitching me out with the WP:Echo ping I got to this section a couple of hours ago, so I focused on other things before coming to read your comment. I apologize for any animosity on my part regarding my interaction with you. At Wikipedia, I can get frustrated easily, especially when it seems that the person I am in a dispute with is ignoring my points. At the end of the day, we are disputing trivial matters. I simply ask that you discuss things more on the article talk page before reverting (even a partial revert is a revert), and that you try to follow small rules, such as MOS:Paragraphs and MOS:ACCESS, more often. In some cases, such as the example Sock gave in the aforementioned discussion involving NinjaRobotPirate, it might be better to break the content into Release and Reception sections; in other cases, especially cases concerning little or relatively little content, it is best to have the material combined into one section.

As for the Fantastic 4 trailer, I don't think much of it; I'm not excited for that film. I didn't think much of the Jurassic World trailer either, I recently saw the Terminator Genisys trailer because I just found out about that film yesterday (yeah, I don't watch much television these days), and I kind of liked that trailer for some of the reasons that Jeremy Jahns noted. Flyer22 (talk) 16:57, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

@Flyer22: That video was something. Thank you. Take a look at here. Is the reception section OK? Or is it unnecessary ?

Also I suggest to take a look at the History of the page, so that you can see a WP:WAR going on. DtwipzBTalk 13:26, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I've seen you point to this section twice now, including with this edit, to justify you changing release material. It does not seem like you have truly digested anything I stated above; rather, it seems that you are still determined to design these sections your way at all costs. Nothing that I stated above means that I am now okay with you changing the Gone Girl (film) article's release section to your preferred style. Flyer22 (talk) 13:27, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I reverted myself; I paid better attention to what you changed when I took a second look, and I see that you were compromising -- between what I want and what you want. Flyer22 (talk) 13:31, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Flyer22: WOW. Ain't that something. BTW can you answer me whether Home media comes under Release or Reception section OR gets its own section ?? DtwipzBchat 13:41, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I've already addressed that above in this section. Flyer22 (talk) 13:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Not explicitly about Home media. So please. Am confused. DtwipzBchat 13:59, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I just saw you here, and am reminded of this section. I didn't read your "13:59, 2 March 2015 (UTC)" comment until minutes ago. Regarding your Home media section question, I'm not sure what else to state. Again, such matters are a case-by-case matter. If there is a Release section and a Reception section, the Home media section will likely fit best in the Release section. If the Home media section has critical commentary, then it might be best that it goes in the Reception section. Often, as you know, the Reception section and Home media section are subsections of the Release section. Like I told you above, "In some cases, such as the example Sock gave in the aforementioned discussion involving NinjaRobotPirate, it might be better to break the content into Release and Reception sections; in other cases, especially cases concerning little or relatively little content, it is best to have the material combined into one section." Flyer22 (talk) 06:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

@Flyer22: May I suggest ONE simple thing ?? Please try to give short answers in the future. Not that I'm complaining about your answers, they are great and solves problems but sometimes it happens that I get lost in long answers, that's all. DtwipzBchat 12:17, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Diby, that is Flyer 22's opinion only, and it is not consistent with the style manual. I could accept Home Video being in a Release section (but there isn't one), but it makes no sense at all to have it under Reception (unless, as F22 says, there is a reception issue, which doesn't occur here). Therefore, consistent with the manual, it should have its own section. I'll seek opinion from senior editors.Lexysexy (talk) 06:41, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

@Lexysexy: Whatever makes you happy. DtwipzBchat 11:37, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Lexysexy, with regard to "is not consistent with the style manual," I've pointed to Wikipedia style manuals above to argue my points. My above opinions are primarily based on what those manuals state. By your "makes no sense at all to have it under Reception" commentary, I take it that you are referring to my "If the Home media section has critical commentary, then it might be best that it goes in the Reception section." notion. Well, yes, that is my opinion. But I reiterate that MOS:FILM is clear that film articles do not have to follow the same article setup. The Hunger Games (film) article currently has the Home media section in the Reception section; this is presumably because content in the Home media concerns reception to the film. How well a film did with regard to home media is reception. That stated, in the "This article should be labeled WP:GA (Good article) status" discussion at that article's talk page, I did note that "[Having the Home media section be a subsection of the Reception section] is usually not done for film articles." That was in 2013, though.

Dibyendutwipzbiswas, I don't see where my above answers are too long; for example, my "06:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)" comment. If the comment requires a paragraph or two from me, that is what I will provide. But I do keep the length of my comments in mind. Flyer22 (talk) 06:09, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

@Flyer22:F22, I'm not criticising your comments so much as Diby's use of them to justify his position. If you look to the bottom of the page (Sanctum Home Video), you'll see where the discussion started. My argument is that the style manual refers to a "Section" in connection "Home Video". As I've already stated, if the release of a home video leads to a reception issue, then mentioning it there is logical. But to place the release of the home video in the Reception section when that release had no reception related issues is, to me, illogical. I'm not in the business of edit-warring, but to have someone come along after an article has been around for some time, and make illogical changes on the basis of his/her own opinion is troubling.Lexysexy (talk) 00:51, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Lexysexy, thanks for explaining; I understand what you mean. As seen above, I've had disagreements with Dibyendutwipzbiswas. Flyer22 (talk) 01:00, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Cateogory

Hello Dibyendutwipzbiswas,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cateogory for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. LouiseS1979 (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

@Lstanley1979:Thank you. It was so kind of you to do that. DtwipzBTalk 13:47, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 30

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Justice League: War, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Tucker. 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Copyright notice #2

Hi there, though you are allowed to remove notices from your talk page, like this notice about copyright violations, removal of the warning is evidence that you have read it. That said, in this edit you again introduce content copied verbatim from this source. As previously noted, content must be written in your own words, not copy/pasted or closely paraphrased from other sources. It seems fairly easy to avoid this, and I hope you'll take my advice to not submit this sort of content in the future. From my experience, this is the sort of thing that will very likely result in your account being blocked. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 12:55, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: Hmm, I was confused fro a moment whether to write that material or not, but I did anyway. I'm not sorry for what I did, but now that my confusion is cleared, I might say that in the future I will be careful when writing from some source that I don't have copyright to. Good bye. DtwipzBTalk 15:09, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. You might also consider adding edit summaries when you revert other editors, as that tends to look like antagonistic editing. Cooperative editing is achieved through discussion, not silent edit-warring. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:27, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: I will try my best to keep that in mind. DtwipzBTalk 13:02, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Electronic music WikiProject

Hi! I recently joined the Electronic music WikiProject and saw you recently joined as well. Just wanted to see which articles you're working on now and what your music interests are. I noticed the project is currently "semi-active". Do you know how we can change it from semi-active to active? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianakoz (talk • contribs) 07:23, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

@Ianakoz: Hey welcome here, I mean to Wikipedia. Yes, I joined the WikiProject you mentioned, but no I am not working on any article as of now. But I might as well do that in the near future. NO sorry I don't know how to change the status, I think guys have to keep working on under that WikiProject to bring up the status, but that's just my theory.

To answer your question, I like Hip Hop, Nu Metal, and of course EDM, and some other artist like Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Red Hot Chili Peppers. DtwipzBTalk 13:04, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

February 2015

Hi there! 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)

I noticed your recent edit to Big Hero 6 (film) does not have an edit summary. I have no idea why you are making these changes because you have given no summary. Because these are large magnitude changes & you have neither summarized them or discussed them on the talk page, I have reverted them. Please discuss changes of such magnitude on the talk page first.

Edit summary content is visible in:

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

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Peaceray (talk) 15:59, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

@Peaceray: I didn't wanted to omit the whole critical reaction section, but it happened anyway. I'm sorry.

I know what is edit summary is and I am still working on how to write the appropriate edit summary, but most of the times it evades my mind. DtwipzBTalk 15:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Numerical precision

Hi there, with regard to these recent edits [1][2], a few thoughts: These "precise" (technically just longer) values are unnecessary. MOS:LARGENUM is the prevailing guideline and discussion on the matter can be found here. The values aren't stable, for they are in constant flux and the context doesn't require precision. The long values are currently broad estimates anyway (note all the zeroes). The margin for error is never published, so they are little more than estimates even when they look more precise like $123,455,211. Finally there is nothing inherently significant about the precision—that is, if the worldwide gross for movie A surpassed the worldwide gross for movie B by $1000, and that was making headlines, then it might make sense to add the more precise values. For these reasons, I am restoring the condensed $NNN million values. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

@Cyphoidbomb: ohk. DtwipzBTalk 15:53, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Sanctum Home video

In amending the page, you wrote: "Home media don't gets its own section, it either goes under release or reception section, depending upon their length". I don't know where this idea comes from, if you look at the style manual, it says (under Home Media) "If available, provide information on the film's release on home media, such as release dates, revenues, and other appropriate third-party coverage. The section may contain......etc". In other words, Home media is a section in its own right. If you can point me to other guidance, I'll desist, otherwise I'll revert in a day or two.Lexysexy (talk) 04:25, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

@Lexysexy: Am so sorry for the late reply. And before writing this reply, i checked out the article. You did not reverted the edit, I'm not gonna say thank you. And for the record I don't wanna go to WP:WAR. But If you care to look up, you'll see a conversation between me and Flyer22. I sincerely hope that you find what you're looking for.

Percy Jackson Task-force

Hi, I'm looking to help revamp the Percy Jackson Task-force, a project dedicated to maintaining articles related to Rick Riordan and Percy Jackson & the Olympians. I noticed your edits on some articles that fall under this task-force's "jurisdiction", and I wanted to invite you to join! If you're interested, I'd like to invite you to become a full member; please note that the difficult requirements for membership are going to be lowered in the near future, so you can join worry-free (I know they scared me away on the first try.). You can also become just a "supporter", if that's more your speed.

Head on over to the project page if you're interested -- and no hard feelings if you're not. Thanks again in advance, and feel free to contact me on my Talk page. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 06:26, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Military history coordinator election

Greetings from WikiProject Military history! As a member of the project, you are invited to take part in our annual project coordinator election.

Should WP:PJTF change its scope to cover all of Rick Riordan's works?

Hi, Dibyendutwipzbiswas, hate to be "that guy" who keeps harping on this, but I'm hoping to get all the Percy Jackson Task-force supporters to reach a "final" decision about our scope so we can determine how and if to handle Riordan's new Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard. In my opinion, if we decide on a new scope which covers that series, then we need to begin work on applicable pages for it, since the first book has now been officially published.

As on of our "supporters" you are more than welcome to voice your opinion on the change. Do you think this project should become the "Rick Riordan" task-force? I'd appreciate your comment here. 2ReinreB2 (talk) 15:45, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

Invite to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
