[edit] On the above articles...

I do not doubt that the films are real. What I am saying is that I see no evidence that they are notable, and so deserving of an encyclopedia article. Do you think you could provide some reliable sources to attribute each to? On another note, the articles make rather liberal use of italics and bulletpoints- there's nothing wrong with standard prose! J Milburn 02:28, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

As long as you cite the information to reliable sources, there shouldn't be any problem. I will take a look over the articles you have created if you wish- just drop me a line on my talk page with the links to them. Also, you can date and sign your posts on talk paes automatically by typing ~~~~ after your post. To see what that looks like, see mine- J Milburn 12:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, as I said, I do not doubt that the films are real. I just have a concern that they may be non notable. Do you have any reliable sources about the films? Wikipedia is not about anything and everything- for instance, there is no article on me, or my friends' band, or the film that another friend has recently made at school and is telling me about right now. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and must be based upon secondary sources, and without reliable secondary sources, writing an article on a subject is impossible. J Milburn 16:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I don't mind helping you- I would rather the articles were improved than deleted, and, even if they do end up deleted, at least you will be a little wiser for the next articles you write. Basically, Wikipedia is not about everything. It is about notable things- not every band ever can have an article, not every person ever can have an article, not every book ever written can have an article. I am concerned that the films that you are writing about are not notable- that they have never been written about in any reliable sources. Now, if you could provide some reliable sources- perhaps reviews on websites, perhaps articles in magazines, something like that, then there would be no problem. Take a read of this to see why we only want notable topics, see here for our guideline on notability and see here for an explanation of what reliable sources are. If you have some sources already, show them to me, and I will judge them for how reliable they are. J Milburn 17:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, those are great sources. A couple of sources like that for each movie, and there should be no problem, and I will happily remove my deletion tags from the articles. Thanks for sticking with this- it's nice to see some committment and willingness to work with Wikipedia's system. So many newcomers just don't want to know. J Milburn 18:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
I will remove the tags when multiple reliable sources have been cited in the articles. You will need at least two on each article. Thanks. J Milburn 21:03, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
There is one good source on each of the Terror Toons article, but none on the other. Fan sites, first party publishings (so, written by people linked to the film) and message boards are all counted as unreliable, as are blogs. Sorry if this seems overly awkward, and thanks for sticking with this. I will remove the deletion tags when there are multiple reliable sources on each. J Milburn 21:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
In theory, you should be getting your information to write the articles from reliable sources in the first place. If reliable sources are not added, then the articles will get deleted. J Milburn 22:00, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
In Terror Toons 2, one of the links isn't anything to do with the film. Terror Toons still only has one reliable source, and the same is true of Phantasm V. J Milburn 22:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
No, I'm not mad. Don't worry about it. There are still a few days until those articles are deleted. The source on the actor was reliable, it was just of no use because it didn't mention the film. The other source you mentioned confirms the existance, but we want secondary sources, and that was a primary one. J Milburn 23:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, they are looking better now. Phantasm V could do with more sources, but I am sure you can do that later. Cheers! J Milburn 07:39, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Looks better. I certainly have no issue with the articles any more, and I am happy for them to stay, and I would imagine almost everyone else would be. Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. J Milburn 20:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits to Phantasm V

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Correctonator! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule proboards\d{1,3}\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

[edit] Body counts

Please know that body counts are not encyclopedic, and should not be added to articles. They are strictly plot events, some very minor, with no real world context to them.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jason Voorhees

I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish by changing the headers, but please do not do that again. Fictional characters do not get biographies. If you wish to write a biography on Jason, please feel free to write one on the Wikia page, which is linked at the bottom of the article.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 00:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Future films

I've removed the template from the article because I noticed that it's been used before, and it can only be used once. However, according to the notability guidelines for films, projects that are not yet in production do not deserve stand-alone articles. This is because any number of factors could interfere with the process that leads up to actual production -- scripting issues, casting issues, and budget issues. While IMDb is generally not to be trusted, the page for this project says that financing is being sought for the film. A film article can only exist if the film is in production -- that's when the likelihood of it being released is at its highest because of all the resources now invested in it. Some future projects that haven't entered production have homes at articles of broader topics, such as Spider-Man 4, Jurassic Park IV, Fahrenheit 451 (2008 film), Logan's Run (2010 film), etc. I suggest you do the same for Phantasm V. Let me know if you have any questions about how to go about doing this. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 03:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trancers III

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Trancers III, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105632/plotsummary. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:34, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
