Welcome!

Hello, Rfbarrington, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as The Internet Movie Database Top 250, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Bulldog talk da contribs go rando 18:24, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Internet Movie Database Top 250 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

October 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Aliens (film), please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Supporting statements with citations[edit]

Hi. If you add to an article a declarative statement such as "It is often considered one of the greatest movies ever", you must support it with a citation from a reliable source, otherwise it is considered to be merely your opinion or perception, which is original research and not allowed. Such unsupported statements will, most likely, be removed, so if you want your contributions to remain in the articles, please find a supporting source.

Eyes Shut[edit]

There are no major film critics who consider Eyes Wide Shut to be pornography in the strict sense of the word, although some critics consider in "erotica". Without a significant secondary source to establish it as such, it is inappropriate to enter material into WP characterizing it as pornographic. You might consult Erotica#Erotica_and_pornography.--WickerGuy (talk) 18:17, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redux

Four editors have reverted your persistent attempts to characterize Eyes Wide Shut as pornographic. Critics generally agree that portrayal of sexual immorality as such does not per se make a film pornographic. Please observe the rules of WP:CONSENSUS and cease and desist from further attempts to make this edit.--WickerGuy (talk) 22:43, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

December 2011[edit]

Hello and welcome! Your recent edit appears to have added incorrect information, so I removed it for now. If you believe the information that you added was correct, please cite reliable references or sources, or discuss it on the article's talk page. Thank you!

License tagging for File:WhenTheWindBlowsDVD1986.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:WhenTheWindBlowsDVD1986.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:06, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

April 2012[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to Ray William Johnson does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks! 117Avenue (talk) 04:08, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
