[edit] CAT Formatting

If an article has {{DEFAULTSORT:Brosnan, Pierce}} do you need to put the article name in the category tag: [[Category:James Bond actors|Brosnan, Pierce]]???? - IP4240207xx 18:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comic Book characters in film

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've redirected the article you created, Comic Book characters in film, to a similar list, List of films based on comics. I think the two are of similar scope, and perhaps the one you created is a little too broad and ill-defined for Wikipedia. There has been some discussion of the issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics, a WikiProject devoted to comics, and maybe you'd like to stop by or even join in. If you have any questions, you can ask here or at my talk page. Happy editing. Steve block Talk 14:12, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

How do you not get tired of this? Doczilla 05:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Again, this just amazes me. Doczilla (talk) 20:27, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] November 2007

Remember to Provide An Edit Summary Hello and thank you for your contributions. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Gwen Stacy‎. This helps everyone to understand what is changed. It may be a good idea to set your user preferences (under Editing) to "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary". Thank you.

[edit] Films of the 21st century

A tag has been placed on Category:Films of the 21st century, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Alientraveller (talk) 17:54, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Stop fighting it. You've contested its deletion, good for you. Now wait for someone else to voice their view on that dead duck category. Alientraveller (talk) 18:07, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Actor templates

Hi, I wanted to let you know that actor templates are not used in film articles. Contrary to director templates, there are potentially multiple actor templates for a single film article. (Imagine an ensemble film!) Not to mention that not all roles are starring roles, and it's not always easy to determine if someone had a "prominent" role. Will it be alright if I remove {{Bale}} from the appropriate articles? As long as his filmography is presented appropriately on the actor's article, that should be good enough. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 19:31, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Creepy Crawler, EJBanks, LedgerJoker, and your other gazillion usernames

Why do you keep doing this? You put so much time and energy into this. Why do you keep creating the same kind of soap opera, reality show, superhero movie, etc. categories while making the same mistakes on each that have always gotten nearly all of your edits deleted and have gotten you repeatedly banned from editing on Wikipedia?

[edit] Batman Reboot category

Stop adding that category to actors' articles. It will simply get removed for violating the WP:OC policy against categorizing performers by performance.

Stop adding that category to characters' article. It will simply get removed for going against clearly established precedent that we do not categorize such characters for every separate medium, program, series in which the character has appeared. Doczilla (talk) 20:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:People who have played Survivor more then once
