As an aside, if you are interested in editing Wikipedia pages about cinema, you might be interested in checking out WikiProject Film, a group of editors who volunteer some of their time to improve the quality of movie-related articles. Alternatively, if you are interested in directors, actors, etc., then you might be interested in looking at the Actors and Filmmakers WikiProject. Or join both! Again, great job on the Christopher Miles page! Dea db eef 09:29, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have just been going through the Wikipedia layout guidelines to see if I can get that one removed too and it appears to comply as far as I can make out with the possible excepotion of not having a picture in the box on the top right with his birth date etc. Do you have any suggestions or comments?

I assume that was just because the sections about his life were split into 'personal' and 'early' and that struck some editor wrong. I've merged them myself and kicked the tag, as well as the other COI tag, which looks to have been resolved. Dea db eef 09:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks Deadbeef, I feel I have achieved something today :) Merlin Energy (talk) 09:53, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, glad you feel accomplished! However, I am inclined to ask: is "Merlin Energy" the name of a company that you have any involvement in? Dea db eef 09:56, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not Deadbeef, there is a company called Merlin Energy Ltd but I have absolutely no connection to them at all. If you feel it would be better I can change it? Merlin Energy (talk) 10:05, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mm, it's borderline. WP:CORPNAME would typically implore you to change it, but seeing as you have no affiliation with the company and aren't making promotional edits for them, I think you should be fine. For all I know, there might be a company called "Deadbeef" out there somewhere. Unless an admin gives you grief about it, I wouldn't worry about it. Anyways, thanks for your contributions, don't forget to check out the WikiProjects, and welcome to Wikipedia! Dea db eef 10:16, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Alan Plater may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
