[edit]Stop editing the box office results on 2022 in film. Zvig47 (talk) 00:05, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- I’m sorry, but I was trying to be accurate. Here are the box office results right here:

The Numbers is usually the site to go for when you’re looking for box office totals. They seem to get their totals in faster. If you edit with information from The Numbers from now on that would be great. I appreciate your want to edit for accurate numbers. Zvig47 (talk) 00:33, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Of the same name
[edit]Please stop adding "of the same name" to articles about adaptations as you did here. It is emblematic of poor writing as explained at WP:OFTHESAMENAME. Betty Logan (talk) 15:00, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- I’m sorry. I thought that’s how it worked Iacowriter (talk) 20:52, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Stop removing content
[edit]You removed Moon Man even though The Numbers cites its gross. BOM doesn't have data on the film but that doesn't mean you remove it. Also Dr. Strange still had an increase in gross this weekend so it's still playing. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 01:19, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- I’m sorry, more people were using box office mojo, so I thought I had to use it as well Iacowriter (talk) 01:20, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Most of the people I've seen there use both sources. And they are listed there for a reason. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 01:22, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- I looked up that box office mojo is more accurate Iacowriter (talk) 01:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- Who says Box Office Mojo is more accurate? They even greatly change their grosses and don't publish accurate numbers often, but approximates and estimates which tend to be in 0s. Especially for international gross. See The Batman for example. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 18:39, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

- A forum isn't a way to check reliability of a film. But the post is just about one film (Avatar), that too according to comments because it was released again after its run ended. The Numbers doesn't count it. I don't know why you have omitted that part. Roman Reigns Fanboy (talk) 20:41, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Miles Morales
[edit]Hi. A belated WELCOME to Wikipedia. Thanks for adding the partial creator credit to the Miles Morales article with your recent edits. However, you also removed other content from the article without providing a rationale for this in an edit summary. When removing material, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page.
Specifically, you deleted Miles' middle name, and mention that he is a fictional character from the lede section. Miles' middle name is established in sources cited elsewhere in the article, such as the Infobox, and describing fictional characters as such in their articles is a standard part of the explanatory opening of articles on them. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 13:42, 10 September 2022 (UTC)
- Please stop deleting content from the article without providing a rationale for this in an edit summary, as you did with this edit to Miles Morales. As I stated above, it is a widespread practice on Wikipedia for articles on fictional characters to describe them as such in the opening sentence of the lede section, as seen in the examples Allen Walker, Baron Munchausen, Goodman Beaver, Kenneth Widmerpool, Mr. Dooley, all of which are featured articles. The Miles Morales article is itself a Good Article, and the opening sentence has described him as a fictional character for many years. If you disagree with this, then the proper approach is to discuss this with other editors on the article's talk page, and not engage in edit warring with other editors. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 05:15, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Stop blanking content from the Miles Morales without providing a valid edit summary or discussing it with other editors, as you did a second time with this edit. If you continue to do this, you risk being blocked from editing. Please do not make that necessary. If you have a legitimate rationale for removing that information, then begin a discussion on the article's talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 18:16, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not add or change content, as you did at Wonka (film), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please update the access dates when you make "updates" to the Box Office numbers. BBQboffingrill me 21:16, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- I was just adding to the box office from the numbers. Iacowriter (talk) 21:17, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- The numbers were correct based on the source accessed 1/24/2024. If you want to update the number on today's date using the same source, please also change the source access date from 1/24/2024 to today's date. Cheers! BBQboffingrill me 21:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
CS1 error on Five Nights at Freddy's (film)
[edit] Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Five Nights at Freddy's (film), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
- A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 19:39, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

[edit] Hi Iacowriter! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Frankenstein's monster several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Frankenstein's monster, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. There's a thread discussing the question at Talk:Frankenstein's monster#Use of "erroneously" in lead.. Belbury (talk) 08:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Frankenstein is the doctor. I’m trying to be accurate. Iacowriter (talk) 13:21, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- Everyone's trying to be accurate. Belbury (talk) 13:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
