[edit] Toolbox item

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that in you toolset you have {{filmimage}} as {filmimage}}, so it doesn't display. :) Hoverfish Talk 19:14, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, I seem to be the dumb one here by assuming you work like me (I copy my templates from a text page "toolset"). If it was only in Below (film), which I corrected, forgive my remark. Hoverfish Talk 19:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:GoingPlacesFilm.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:GoingPlacesFilm.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Mika (singer)

Hi there! Do you mind if I ask why you changed the Cats on Mika (singer)? ConDem^Talk 18:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

That's cool, I was just wondering about the deletion of the "Mika"s. Sounds good though. ConDem^Talk 18:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film-editor-stub category

User:Luigi Bob has recently been creating articles on some notable film editors and has brought it to my attention that a stub category doesn't exist for film editors. As film editors are a part of film and help to rid of red links in films please lend your support or opposition at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. There are hundreds not stub categoirzed as editors and there are many many missing from wikipedia and I beleive they are an important part of the film making process. Thanks Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: spam

Sure thing. You might want to check out WP:EL for more info on spam and external links. John Reaves (talk) 20:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Car desgners

Talk pages without articles shouldn't exist (unless they are archive pages), so if you find any, please add {{db-talk}} instead of just blanking it. Thanks! Awyong J. M. Salleh 23:42, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Lesbian novels

“

Do you think we might run into trouble with what exactly constitutes a "lesbian novel"? ie is it any novel by a lesbian author, one dominated by lesbian themes, main character lesbian, featuring minor lesbian characters / subplots? Maybe it should be something more along the lines of the "LGBT-related films" category.

”

What do you think of the name "lesbian-themed novels"? — Emiellaiendiay 18:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, I looked at the subcategories of Category:Novels, and it none seem to fit, so I'd say Category:Novels is just fine. — Emiellaiendiay 23:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT WikiProject newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter! Issue IV - March 1, 2007 Monthly Challenge: Find 5 editors to LGBT articles and invite them to the project! Check out our recruitment tips if you need them. Good luck! Project News With such rapid development of the project, it was decided that a Coordinator was needed to ensure all the fiddly maintenence was kept up. Elections were held and Dev920 (talk • contribs) has been elected Coordinator for the next three months. She said "I am honoured and proud to be at the helm of such a fantastic WikiProject and look forward to our future". Congratulations Dev! The assessment system continues to be a great success, we have tagged over 5200 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system. Jumpaclass is proving to be quite successful! The winner at the end of the year gets to pick the January collaboration, so sign up and get going! Or challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub! A new Community department has been set up to foster community amongst our members. It mostly acts as other WikiProjects' Outreach department, but also has a Quilt to which every member is entitled to add a square containing anything of their choice. The peer review is not getting much custom - please notice you can cross-list other peer reviews from different projects that also fall within our scope. Many people still seem to be unaware that the Deletion sorting subpage exists for XfDs to be listed: please use and watch that page instead of issuing "alerts" for ordinary AfDs on the project talkpage. WP:FILM has a current drive to give every film article an infobox. WP:LGBT successfully gave all 105 LGBT infoboxless films infoboxes, so a big thank you to everyone who participated. A new template, LGBT-footer, has been created for articles which are becoming to cluttered with infoboxes. Thanks to WJBscribe and SatyrTN for creating it. A very basic resources page has been started. Please add to it as you come across useful sites. A promotional poster for the project has been created: http://wplgbt.tripod.com/Wikipedianeedsyou.doc (you have to directly cut and paste the url, or it won't let you download it). Please distribute anywhere and everywhere you desire, such as gay libraries, cybercafes, community centres and so on. Also, please let Dev920 know where you have put it up, so she can keep track of our coverage. An LGBT Publications Taskforce has been proposed. Please sign up here if you are interested in being involved. An LGBT WikiProject has been set up on the Spanish Wikipedia! Set up by Raystorm, it has already gained six members and is developing an assessment system. If you speak any Spanish, please consider going up and lending a hand if you can! Article News An LGBT article, Homosexual readings of Jesus and John, made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Haiduc, who wrote the article. Another article, Same-sex marriage in Italy, also made it onto the main page as a DYK this month. Congratulations to Raystorm, who wrote the article. And another article, George Cecil Ives, made it to the front page DYKs this month. Congratulations to Zefrog, who wrote the article. Member News Our membership continues to expand. 55 new users have joined the Wikiproject: HalJor, Brianna Austin, Kylehamilton , PeaceNT, Paradoxdept, Joie de Vivre, Bearcat, Avazina, Treybien, Xdenizen, Chalyres, Lisapollison, Stitchy CP, Wjhonson, Psicorps, Jliberty, Zuejay, DrGaellon, Mallanox, lwollert, Switchercat, Number301, emerson7, Ebyabe, Ashlux, Larrybob, Eirra, Alcarcalimo2364, DavidShankBone, Cedlaod, Mcguireka, Fireplace, Jacobshaven3, Buddmar, Yksin, Intesvensk, Justin_Eiler, kc12286, Kolindigo, PseudoPhoenix, Samanthabrennan, Anbellofe, roger_jg, Moni3, The Wednesday Island, Carom, Belovedfreak, My little needle, Fenoxielo, Arianna, Philippebeaudette, FrankCostanza, AmberAlert1713, A.Z., Fluffball70, .

[edit] link removal on New Monkees

I reverted your removal of an external link for Unofficial site at New Monkees simply 'cause it's a very comprehensive site with lots of information, and the only one of its kind. —Fitch 00:45, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Please do not vandalise my talk-page or you will be blocked from Wikipedia. Best wishes, 138.38.32.84 19:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link to FranksFilms

I understand the concern that Wikipedia links not be used for advertizing and self promotion. However, FranksFilms does NOT feature any advertizing. Most other regular film links, such as "Internet Movie Database", "Rotten Tomatoes", and "Roger Ebert", are crazy with advertizing and use such links to draw eyes to that advertizing. FranksFilms does NOT engage in promotion. The author's name doesn't appear on the site, and thus does not benefit from increased hits.

Feedback has been very positive that readers have found useful insights and information from the site. However, I would not want to violate Wikipedia policy by contributing such links to these movie pages. Rather, I would prefer to work within the rules.

Would you consider the merits of the links, or, would you suggest ways to improve my contributions within the current standards?

[edit] Joel Michaely

I tagged Joel Michaely for speedy deletion. Any of WP:CSD A1, A3, A7, or G11, might apply. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

True, it's a bit of stretch, but a weblink to the guy's website and his IMDB page is effectively advertising when there's not an article to go along with the links. I'm not suggesting that you're spamming or anything like that. It's just that it could, depending on who sees it, end up tagged that way. "No context" or "empty" are the most obvious ones though. Are you wanting to expand it? I can remove the tag if you like. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:44, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
