[edit] Hi there

I thought you might be interested in this.Endorse if you agree with the case. --ManiF 03:15, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite Mani, but I'll have to sit this one out. I agree with your side Mani, however, feel that both sides were abusive during the discussion. Cheers. --P-Chan 10:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: In regards to the Operation Medak Pocket article

No idea, actually. As you can see, all my edit did was change the template being used; the number of UN personnel killed was already in the article at that point. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. —Kirill Lokshin 14:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] V for Vendetta citing

You removed the tag from the Sybolism and Cultural Reference section and added sources. However, the section is still technically unsourced. Inline-citation requires each fact to be cited. Right now any user can add another bullet with no source but it appears to be somewhat justified because it might have come from one of the six links from the start of the section. (When you added those links, there were only two bullet points, now there are around five.) This is a sort of irrelevant article, but the citing is correct and relevant: The Office: Trivia. Does that make sense? Mrtea (talk) 04:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mrtrea,

thanks for the note.

I thought about your comments and took a look around at a few of the other movie articles to see if I could find a baseline. I've noticed that citations are usually *requested* whenever there is a *controversial statement* being made or one that there is no *obvious* source for. If you look at the The Matrix:Influences and interpretations & The Matrix series articles, you'll notice that there are many interpretation/influences that are not being referenced. I'll try to rearrange some of the points, and get rid of the weaker ones.

Also, you are correct. The references that I placed were only for the first few sentences (primarily surrounding Iraq/US administration, etc). They were not intended for the other points that people placed afterwards. I regret the fact that the people are just tagging on extra points under the original cited heading and will to find some way of resolve this.

Cheers.

--P-Chan 17:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

You're right. Citations are often used to show that an edit isn't original research and to ensure that the content of articles is credible. (See Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Verifiability.) I'm glad you understand why the links were a little iffy. Even if you don't know how to properly source something just add an inline link to the article ([http://source]) and someone will fix it for you. Weak points can stay, but only if they've got credible sources.
Regarding talk page etiquette, everyone's got their own preferences. I prefer to keep conversations in one place so they don't get disjointed and are easy to read. If you respond to a message left on your talk page below it, it might be nice to leave a note for the other user so they get the "You have messages" link. (Exactly what you did.) Users generally watch a page after they leave the comment there as well. See WP:TALK for more info. Hope you stick around, Mrtea (talk) 21:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice Mrtea! I will do that.
There seems to be an awful lot of talk about who V really is, and it doesn't seem to show-up on the main page. I think this partly due to the fact that the theories and information on V's identity span both the Comic and the movie or it's own page... or maybe it's way too speculative. In anycase, I think it's interesting and deserves a home. Cheers! --P-Chan 19:22, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] V for Vendetta peer review

Hey, I put it through a peer review, here. Thought I would let you know since your one of the main contributers, cheers. Cvene64 06:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks man for message, Cvene64, as it is good to hear from you. You have made some good contributions yourself. In regards to the review, I guess this means that we had better clean the house quick before the guest arrive! Is there any way to delay this for a day or so, so we can get the finishing touches done? I'm relatively new so I'm not sure what's entirely involved in a peer review. Cheers. --P-Chan 09:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Well, we can resubmit as many times as we like, and it is a long-ish process, so people will add their comments here and there over a fortnite or so. But don't worry, It won't do any harm, just give us more perspective on what else we need to do. Its the Feature Article Review that articles should be top-notch before submission, whereas a Peer Review, you can submit anytime. So hopefully we can just get some more ideas. Cheers Cvene64 16:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Cvene64. Agreed. This would be a valuable process for gaining different points of view, and for getting solutions to long standing issues. I highly recommend that we take these comments, though, with a grain of salt, and in the context of the peer review. In particular, comments that recommend major changes should be discussed in the talkpage and have some time to sit, before they are generally consumed. That's my 2 cents. --P-Chan 02:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Job on V for Vendetta (film)

I must say that I am impressed by your dedication to the constantly changing V for Vendetta (film) article. I personally have done minor edits here and there just to be snowballed over by the on-slot of the multitude of IP users. Each time I go to the site I see your name all over the place helping to keep the mass chaos as controlled as possible. You even created a "To-do list" for the film to help keep the contributions focused. Thanks for the dedication UKPhoenix79 10:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

The Barnstar of High Culture
Your dedication and guidance to the constantly changing V for Vendetta (film) it is truly appreciated. Each time I go to the site I see your name everywhere trying to keep the chaos as controlled as possible. You even created a "To-do list" for the film to help keep the contributions focused. Great Job! UKPhoenix79 10:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
UKPhoenix79, your comments are so nice that I don't know what to say... except of course thanks a ton. This is just a for fun thing for me. I like whole collaborative aspect of these articles (especially the V for Vendetta (film) one) as they have the ability to create articles that are better in quality than professionally done ones. Just hope that the comments and changes I make help to improve the qualtiy. Best Regards,--P-Chan 02:06, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
My pleasure. I was only surprised that you didn't get one earlier! I know it can really raise people's spirits once they know that their work is noticed and appreciated by others. -- UKPhoenix79 00:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

A fair point, and maybe it wasn't necessary to point out, but I figured if it was focusing on issues of censorship that that, or similar issues, might warrant mention. If not, no harm no foul. Said- Radicaladz

Hey man, you can try reintroducing your comments into the second section (other non-us symbols). I think they may fit better there. --P-Chan 23:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Feedback on V for Vendetta

The article is making good progress now. Here are my main issues at the moment:

  • The whole article still needs a thorough copyedit and I remain willing to do that, once it has settled down in other respects - there's no point refining prose which is about to get rewritten anyway.
  • The plot synopsis is far, far too long. I've dealt with this exact issue before on the Perfect Dark article: compare the old version and the new. The idea of a synopsis is to draw out the most major themes and storylines - if the reader wants to know the full story then they should see the film! I realise that deleting a large amount of text, especially if you've written it yourself, is quite painful but here it's very much necessary for the good of the artile.
  • The cast list section is quite nice, although the FA crew are sometimes a bit touchy about tables. We'll see how that goes; it's easy to rework as a list if necessary.
  • The "citation needed" labels need to be replaced with, well, citations! But I guess you know that already.
  • The filming section is good but you need to be careful with phrases like "X is said to have Y". The main text needs to mention who made this claim. There's a citation here so that should be no problem to fix.
  • The marketing and release section is very under-sourced. There are lots of places that need citations in addition to those that have been marked.
  • The summary of the novelization is rather short to have a section to itself; this is presumably a result of the article itself being rather short. If there's not enough material for a separate article then I suggest merging the novelization's article back into the film article.
  • A lot of the "Symbolism and cultural references" section still smacks of original research. It is this section that needs the most work. It's difficult for me to give specific ideas because the problems with it are quite deep-rooted. I might have a go at this section myself as that's probably easier than articulating my issues with it.
  • The "Critical" section has the unfortunate air of an article trying a bit too hard to be balanced. I think at least one more negative review is needed here, as the section seems very imbalanced overall. I realise this is tough in this case because the critical review has indeed been overwhelming positive, but you can mention that external bias without including it yourself. This is tricky to do right!
  • The "Political" section again has citation and original research issues. It's quite a short section but it does need significant work.
  • The "Trivia" section still needs to be merged in elsewhere. I think it was mentioned in the peer review that if facts are not important enough to be incorporated smoothly into the article then it's best just to leave them out. Again tough editorial decisions need to be made here.

Overall, I should say the volume of my criticism of this article is actually a reflection of its high quality! It is close to the high standard required of Featured Articles, and it just needs some difficult work to push it over the top. It is generally easier to criticise than to correct, but I hope you can rise to the challenge. Good luck and keep me posted, I'll be watching the article with interest. Soo 00:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Vendetta

In response to the talk page, I feel the article is messy because too many users are trying to do different things. I feel the article is not making progress towards FA status, something I wanted to work towards long before the film was released. But I feel the article is going backwards...just my opinion. Cvene64 07:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I highly recommend that you elaborate what your opinions are on the film talk page. I think that's the only way we're all going to get through this... if we have some common plan or goal. --P-Chan 07:53, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
I will do so. But Iam in the minority over the splitting of pages/images/a lot of content and so on. But thanks. Cvene64 08:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I know. I'll get back to you later with some ideas. Cvene64 08:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whats wrong with V's 'V' monologue?

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

What is wrong with that monologue? This should be the correct one. It looks like it got changed some time ago and only recenty became noticed. -- UKPhoenix79 04:06, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Messaged you on your talk.--P-Chan 04:08, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
I think you were the person who originally posted the monologue a long time ago. Where did you originally find the monologue? Was it from a site or did you make it yourself?--P-Chan 04:07, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Your memory is actually correct. I am surprised that you can recall that after all this time and the multitude of users adding info to the article. I got it from the IMDB site originally and by searching around the web to see what the consensus was. This was what everyone agreed upon and what looked correct to me after seeing the movie. So I do believe that this is the correct quote. What is you reason for thinking otherwise? -- UKPhoenix79 04:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
I only remember because I was one of the original people who commented on it when you first posted it. Please check the V for Vendetta (film) talk page. There is a link there, you should review regarding this topic.--P-Chan 04:46, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Oh yeah... and I also remember because you were the first person I spoke to in the VFV(film):talkpage.--P-Chan 07:55, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Yea this was my one remaining claim to fame when it comes to this article. I was thrilled when you managed to find a place for this monologue when the troublesome trivia section (that I believe I also created) got removed. I'm surprised that I was the 1st person to talk to you since you were so active on this page even before I came upon the scene. I still think that you have done a great job with this page and deserve props for essentially becoming the voluntary administrator for this article. Talk to you later. -- UKPhoenix79 08:19, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Continuing V monologue related conversation here.

I'm going to delete that talk conversation we had over on the V for Vendetta page concerning the 55 words, because we wondered into topics like obtaining low quality versions of the film and the site yourtube. We want people to watch the film right?  :) You and I were the only participants, so I'm guessing no one would mind if that topic disappeared.... And go watch the film still! I'm going to do that one last time (on IMAX) before it leaves theaters. Cheers!! --P-Chan 08:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Well don't remove the convo entirely and I'll remove the extraneous comment I made... I do hope for other to become involved... especially since the convo has only been up for a couple of hours it might be best to let others to become involved! -- UKPhoenix79 08:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
By the time I got your message, I already cut off chunks of it. If I removed anything important by accident, feel free to just reverse it.--P-Chan 08:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Oh ok I thought that you were going to remove the entire convo... You must have just pressed save before I did since when I tried save my changes it told me that there was an edit conflict. But, I looked at what you did and it looks just fine. -- UKPhoenix79 08:49, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion of legally questionable matters

Hi, P-Chan. I'm afraid that the honest answer to your question is "I don't know." I looked around some relevant policy pages, and couldn't find anything addressing the subject. My feeling is that discussion of P2P movie downloading shouldn't be encouraged, if for no other reason than that it's off-topic from the purpose of the talk page, creating an encyclopedia article. However, I don't think it's exactly forbidden either. The law on the subject is still a bit fuzzy in places, more so when you consider the international nature of Wikipedia. I didn't look through the history of Talk:V for Vendetta (film), but I don't think that the mere mention of bootleg copies of the film on the talk page is problematic. If I saw people asking how to download a copy of the film, I'd probably say that this isn't the best place to discuss such things and encourage them not to discuss it here, but I don't think that we need to worry about it too much.

Of course, IANAL, etc. You may get a more definitive answer somewhere like Wikipedia talk:Copyright issues. Sorry I couldn't be more help! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA and FA

First, let me clarify that the good article and featured article processes are very different. For a GA, you may make as many good faith nominations as you wish provided that the the objections of the previous nomination have been addressed (which may not necessarily mean that the suggestions were made). For a FA, the nomination process is more complex. Because it requires a vote rather than a pass/fail, generally FA nominations must be spaced out (in addition to addressing the previous objections). Neither of these should be construed as a "penalty" per se. If I haven't adequately answered your questions, let me know. savidan(talk) (e@) 01:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

GA comments are just on the talk pages. If memeory serves me rightly,I failed VFV because of the lack of references. I haven't checked if that situation has improved, but more than one editor has told me that they plan on improving the article in that respect. savidan(talk) (e@) 04:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

P-Chan, might I suggest that you consider the more frequent use of edit summaries? I was alarmed when you blanked a large section of Talk:V for Vendetta (film). It was not immeidately clear that you were creating an archive page, and I almost reverted you. Just a gentle reminder; carry on with your good work. Isopropyl 04:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Greetings Isopropyl,
The advice is appreciated, as I didn't think people actually read the Talk edit summaries, (for anything else other than knowing when the last posts were.) I'll remember to do this whenever I'm archiving the talk pages. Interestingly, I was just thinking about you Isopropyl when I got your message... because I had just finished archiving that one message you had on the talk. Coincidence? Maybe. But of course there are no such thing as coincidences.  :) Is there software or a html tool out there that allows users to monitor the status of their posts? Purely out of curiosity. This could be just a big coincidence. --P-Chan 05:13, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
I just happen to watch the V for Vendetta (film) page; I'm not aware of any tools to monitor the status of individual posts on talk pages. You've been doing very good work for the article on the movie, which is why I didn't revert right away. Keep it up, it's looking great. Isopropyl 05:37, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Sounds good dude. (I'll put away my silly hat). Thanks  :) --P-Chan 05:42, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X:Men: The Last Stand

Hi, P-Chan. You'd mentioned that at the page above that Refences should "try to contain only inline citations." I don't see that on Wiki policy posted verbatim below. Wikipedia has got so many policies; could you let me know the one about references only containing inline citations? Thanks. Here's what I found:

[edit] "References" vs. "External links"

Hi, all. The reason I've changed "External links" to "References" comes from these sections of Wikipedia:Cite_sources, quoted verbatim below. (Please note in Item 2 below that the italics are theirs, and not inserted by me.) Thanks!

1)

Complete citations in a "References" section
Complete citations, also called "references," are collected at the end of the article under a ==References== heading. Under this heading, list the comprehensive reference information as a bulleted (*) list, one bullet per reference work.

2)

External links/Further reading
The ==External links== or ==Further reading== section is placed after the references section, and offers books, articles, and links to websites related to the topic that might be of interest to the reader, but which have not been used as sources for the article. Where there is a references section, editors may prefer to call the external links section "further reading," because the references section may also contain external links, and the further reading section may contain items that are not online.

So from what I understand of the above, sources used to write an article go under "References", and other helpful citations go under "External links" if they're linkable and "Further reading" if they're not online. I'll hold off on changing things back to the above policy for a day or so till I hear from you. Thanks, — Tenebrae 20:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! This was in reference to the edit of "03:18, 5 June 2006 P-Chan" with edit summar "(→Development - Changed reference format. (Please try to use full in-line citation references))."
The edit removed the first four citations (including the official site plus a site, The Numbers, used for box-office figures) that were used as references sources for the article. They were placed under "External links," although, as direct article references, they would normally be listed under "References." Thanks again for your response, P-Chan! -- Tenebrae 05:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your recent edits on X-Men: The Last Stand. I like your work. --Facto 01:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I've just recommded your recent plot-summary edit to User:ChrisGriswold and User:Bignole on their respective talk pages. I haven't slogged too carefully through the lonnnnnng blocks of comments back and forth, but I think you've written an accurate and workable sentence.
On another issue, I've asked editors to weigh in on including the one mainstream film critic who's also a comics writer. Please see just above Talk:X-Men:_The_Last_Stand#The_Connection_between_the_comic_and_the_film, and, if you want, let anyone else know who's been involved in the page. Tenebrae 01:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X3

Sorry to interrupt this particular post, but it seemed to be the best place to post a comment without starting a new section. But, were you reading Tene's talk page, or do we just think alike? (in regards to the better flow for the PLOT section). Bignole 01:58, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
LOL, it's funny because ChrisGriswold and I were having an argument about that particular sentence, and I had just suggested that it say "reluctantly killed her with his claws" when I noticed you had changed it. Well, atleast it is corrected now, and has better flow. Bignole 02:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't agree with your more. I was glad to see that someone else was seeing the issue, who was outside of the argument. Anyway, good editing. Bignole 07:55, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maybe compromise has happened re Critical reception

I offered a concrete and I think fair compromise just now at Talk:X-Men:_The_Last_Stand#Discussion_of_straw_poll. I urge you and other editors to weigh in so that maybe we can stop this back-and-forth battle. -- Tenebrae 07:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I have done some major edits to fix Watchmen. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Hopefully, it won't need a major copy edit now. Tombseye 06:02, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, the thing is that most people felt the themes section was too short. The majority of reviewers kept asking that's it? So I added more to it. Subsections were also objected to as most wanted just one section with paragraphs. So basically, me and DC, were working through concensus. Tombseye 06:15, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helllo Chan

The Original Barnstar
For getting V for Vendetta (film) to featured status. Your contributions were top class and you really made it a quality article. Good work! Cvene64 22:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

p.s. Has it been listed at Todays Featured Article? What are the plans? Cvene64 22:11, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good. I see your working on the new X Men film, good luck with that. Cheers. Cvene64 08:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gremlins 2

Hello P-Chan, I don't know if you've noticed but I've revised the article based on your suggestion and was wondering if you have any other comments? CanadianCaesar Cæsar is turn’d to hear 05:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Worklist for WP:Films

Hi, thanks for your fast response! I would suggest taking a look at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Adding to the lists of subjects. I think for a project of broad scope like Films, the bot would be very useful. Setting things up for the bot is surprisingly easy (see what you think), the main work is going through the article talk pages adding templates such as {{WP:Film|class=B|importance=High}} and the like. The military history folks have tagged 4000 articles in only a month or two, though! Let us know what you think, we'd love to have a more comprehensive coverage of films. By the way, I'm the picky b*****d who complained about the English in Gremlins 2 at FAC (see previous posting!). Cheers, Walkerma 07:06, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] FYI

I'm sorry, you linked me to the WikiProject Films' discussion on creating a WikiProject Filmmakers. I'm sorry but is there a reason why you sent this to me? The Filmaker 02:27, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] When a category is deleted/renamed

Usually a bot or something does go through all of the articles and changes things. Don't worry overmuch about it. Let's just get the name changed. Please support the name change of Disaster movies to Disaster films.

Hi there - I was wondering, what can I help with?

[edit] Candidate article

Hi, I saw your comment for the candidate article Goldfish. I was just wondering how many inline citations would be adequate for an article of this size. QuizQuick 01:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Richard III (1955 film)

You made a query about the prologue text on this page in it's respective talk page. Well, the text in question is not spoken by anyone, rather it is just titles that are presented on the screen giving the backstory and explanation for the film. So...how should I handle that? ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 23:41, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for the help. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 08:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. Many of the characters don't do much, so some of the summary's are very short. Very Short. ....(Complain)(Let us to it pell-mell) 09:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gifted Storyline

The gifted storyline did involve a "cure" that'd been discovered for genetic mutation. A good site to look at is www.uncannyxmen.net. Look under the issue summaries then click on the Astonishing X-Men, the current title. There've been a couple of mini-series in the past called Astonishing X-Men so don't let that confuse you. All of the issues of the comic, including the ones with the gifted storyline, are included. In fact, the gifted storyline begins with the very first issue of the series. The summaries are very detailed and it should provide you with everything you need. Odin's Beard 00:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey Chan, I'm good, how about yourself? I didn't see that Richard III request on my talk, I must have read new messages when there was more than one, and skipped it. Anyway, I'll check it out. Nice hearing from you. Cvene64 02:26, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Request a picture

This page is being used for requests for film pictures, there are currently ten requests there. It seemed appropriate to have the link from the Films project to there, I had only reverted a previous removal of the link which siad it was unnecassary but at that time there was requests there. There wasnt any discussion on the talk page about either its insertion or removal it just seem logical for this page to known and available to the project. Gnangarra 07:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Wikiproject Film template

Thanks for the encouragement! I've actually posted another comment since the last one, saying that I basically don't see the point of changing the template at all. As you said, "We should strive for a fuctional template, as opposed to a very flashy one." This discussion seems to be getting pretty long and escalating rather quickly, and I think some of your insight would definitely be appreciated (when you have the time).

[edit] Wikipedia:Notability (comedy)

I've created Wikipedia:Notability (comedy) to help editors in deciding the notability of comedy- and humor-related articles. You are an editor whom I respect and admire. I would appreciate any commentary you may be able to provide to help hammer it into shape. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:07, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

Do you remember discussing the idea that we should not list every single character in the article? An editor has begun to re-add Arclight and all the other minor characters, and he wants to know why he shouldn't add them. I told him we had previously come to a concensus against that, but all I've found so far is an edit summary or two in which we mention not adding minor characters. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 17:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

That editor would be me. And it's not accurate to say that I want to list "every single character". I think that characters of significant interest to readers should be listed. A character is of significant interest if they: (a) have a lot of onscreen time, (b) appear prominently in key scenes, and/or (c) are major comics characters. I don't see why Chris thinks this is unreasonable. —Steven G. Johnson 18:18, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
You're right: I did exaggerate; I apologize. It wasn't intended to be taken at face value because He and I both did a lot of work to try and not only get the article into shape but to maintain, and you may be only the first editor who wanted to give a reason for such an addition. For that, I do appreciate your intentions. As an editor that primarily works on comics-related articles, I do approach these from the perspective of a comics fan, but I do also try to keep the mainstream reader in mind. I just feel that to make notations with regard to the comics beyond what is already in the article is excessive. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 21:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Magic Christian (film)

Hi, I was working lately on improving (as film) a mixed novel-film article (The Magic Christian), which had, since years, started to lean on the film side. Then another user asked me to start a separate stub on the novel. Not having done any of this before, I created The Magic Christian (novel) stub (including an old version when it was still in the novel phase), which is currently being worked on. Then I created The Magic Christian (film) where I placed the developing film article. The original page is now the disambiguation page, which also contains the past edit history of the original article. I still haven't figured out the exact way and consequences of changing the main title of an article, redirecting, etc. The original article had in its discussion page a template for film w/ "Stub" status. Without knowing that it is only for the assesment team to do this, I added "Start" status in the film's discussion page. I think that the article may actually be of "B" status now. If I am addressing the right person, can you please make a reassesment, or let me know to whom I should make the request? Hoverfish 18:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome Back :)

Welcome back. I hope everything is going better now. I'm glad that you saw that V for Vendetta is now Today featured article for Guy Fawkes day. Congrats :) I don't know if you noticed but some people have been removing The letter V and the number 5. I have been trying to give more external sources. But as some have pointed out it was a part of the article when it became featured. I was hoping that you could help since I will not have much time today.

Hi P-Chan! I am trying to get Serial Experiments Lain through FAC at the moment, and as I saw the work you did of V for Vandetta, I was wondering if you could give me a hand on that.

Thanks in advance, --SidiLemine 13:16, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks P-Chan. I will close the FAC now as I just received some fresh material to include, and had good input from Monocrat on how to arrange it better. Just the time to find out how.... And I'll probably re-submit it in two weeks or so.--SidiLemine 15:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Etheridge

Well, the way I saw it, we should put in the people who are top billed (in either opening or closing credits). Etheridge does have only two scenes where he speaks, but he is billed in the first part of the closing credits. Earlier, I had Heyer on there, pretty much because he is played by an actor who is pretty big in England.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. - JustPhil 20:32, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Could you possibly upload some images of Etheridge, Lilliman, Parliament exploding, etc. from the DVD? I tried uploaded some by screen-capturing from videos on YouTube, but I think there can be better ones. For some reason, it won't work on my computer's DVD player.

One more thing, it is cited from a website that Dascombe (I'm not sure if there is an "e" or not) is the propaganda guy. It is clearly stated in the film, just watch the first cabinet scene.- JustPhil 17:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
True, but Eddie Marsan is in the top billing in the end credits. And, could you please upload DVD images from the other characters and Parliament exploding?- JustPhil 12:10, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] V for Vendetta

Let's have the communication on FARC if it still opens. — Indon (reply) — 20:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

That sourcing is certainly sufficient. Good work tracking things down for this!
I must make one simple point regarding original research (I'm not saying you were guilty of the following on this article, but it was problem with it). If the main social or cultural subject (the film, in this case) has A, and some other subject also has A, which predates it and closely resembles it, it is actually OR to mention the last unless another reliable source has already linked the two. For instance, even if it's as obvious as the nose on your face that "V for..." borrowed from a well-known subject like the Count of Monte Cristo, you can't say so here unless Rogert Ebert or somebody else has said it elsewhere. This is broadly what it means to be a tertiary source.
I know you already grasp this, given your work eliminating OR on this page. I just wanted to repeat it because it's a problem on our pop culture articles and it never hurts to remind people! Cheers, Marskell 20:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] V for Victory

I'm sure when I was looking at this initially I saw an interview with Alan Moore in which he was talking about the origin, and mentioned the connection to V for Victory. I thought maybe it was in the back of the book, but it doesn't mention it there. I'll have a hunt around. Yomanganitalk 11:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Either I imagined it or I can't find it. That link you sent me looks good though: Moore states that the original idea came from Skinn in his essay in the back of the book (p271 ISBN 1-85286-291-2), so a statement from him as to its origins should be fine. I'll have a look in on the FARC later. Cheers, Yomanganitalk 12:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I should have been clearer about the request for references for the differences between the novel and film. The statements that I think require references are opinions about the motives and feelings of the characters (which are now either cited or have been removed), not differences in the story, locations, or actions. Finding citations for the very obvious physical differences is pointless (worse even than the demand for film specific references that I've been arguing against). Sorry, if there was any confusion about that - I'm happy with that section now. Yomanganitalk 01:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

The Stephen Rea section is OK now. For the Count of Monte Cristo reference you could add something that makes it clear for people who haven't seen the film (since that's at least part of the audience for the article). Maybe just what you added on my talk page in the form of a reference, like: <ref>V and Evey watch the film together and discuss why it is his favorite film. At the end of the film Evey refers to V as Edmund Dantes.</ref> Well done for sticking with it through FARC though and congratulations on saving it. Yomanganitalk 09:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I must say I'm a bit skeptical about this category. I feel that it might be a matter of philosophy and personal opinion if a film fits this category.
