[edit] Edit Counter

I am not very handy with computer stuff so when I found this simple edit counter on another users page I wanted to add it to mine to make it easier to find my count. http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/editcount.php MarnetteD | Talk 16:10, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Thanks for leaving the note about Brideshead. It's a tough task renaming and sometimes recategorising all the mis-named articles so if you'd like to join in then go ahead! Bradley0110 (talk) 07:45, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there's a firm policy or even a guideline with regards to TV films. Personally, I think TV films should go at "(film)" unless there's a theatrical film of the same name (case in point: Sweet Revenge (2001 TV film)). DVD films are at "(film)" rather than "(DVD film)" so why have "(TV film)"? Maybe we should start a discussion on the matter at WP:FILM. Bradley0110 (talk) 11:08, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Good point. I'd rather not open a can of worms with both projects! I'll just carry on with correcting the serial articles for the time being, before moving on to the miniseries articles (they all ought to be at "TV miniseries"; many are just at "miniseries" or "mini-series" or "TV mini-series").

[edit] Dracula

Hello. I noticed that you reverted my corrections. According to the MoS WikiProject Film page, the desired order is: lead section, plot, production (subcategories: cast), distribution, reception (subcategories: box office performance, critical reception and awards, etc), influences (sometimes legacy), see also, and external links.

Currently, the order is incorrect. There's a lead section followed by a bullet point cast list (which is frowned upon), then two plot sections (also undesirable) and a series of other sections that don't conform with the project style guidelines. Personally, I would like to work with you (and others) to improve this article at some point. Regards, J Readings (talk) 11:41, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

Sorry about deleting your "a." When I was typing my message I happened to notice it and thought it was a typo. Sincere apologies! Moisejp (talk) 12:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your words of support about The Stanley article. It's nice to know people are enjoying it. It's funny, I think at least a couple of other contributors became aware of the article because of the ongoing vandalism, so from that point of view the vandalism was a good thing. Well, I'm going to keep on working away at it. If you have a chance to respond to any more of the questions I have thrown out on the talk page, that'd be great. It's always good to get feedback and to know what others think about some of the choices I make, because I am not always sure myself! Thanks again! Moisejp (talk) 02:14, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Audrey Hepburn

Lets ask for protection on Audrey Hepburn. I am getting sick and tired of this article being vandalized. Why? What a beautiful lady she was, giving the last 1/3 of her short life to charity, go vandalize Dick Chaney or something. Thanks. ~ WikiDon (talk) 07:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I put it in. But I am not hopeful. Later. ~ WikiDon (talk) 11:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
YEAH!!!!!! The gods are with us this day. Maybe we should buy some Nike's? Were do drive from TX or CO? Stop by for pie. Stay vigilant. ~ WikiDon (talk) 18:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] yep

Yep, vandals often go unnoticed. I once backed up a page with about a year or so of vandalism and improper restores, Number (game). Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 20:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

No offense taken, in fact, I often run across the same issue. Yes, VeggieTales receives the same vandalism all the time, it seems. Today I saw the same telltale edit (always a different IP) and decided to start issuing single issue warnings about vandalism from multiple IPs. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see an edit that changes the first airing date to something with the word "predisent" (which is a terrible misspelling of "president"). They also have a tendency to use the DVD date instead of the TV date, which I'm not even convinced is accurate. Bob the Wikipedian (talk) 22:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Shootist

So you didn't like might part about Wayne making them write Dollor into the script of The Shootist? Guess I like animals as much as people? ~ WikiDon (talk) 22:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, maybe it was not clearly written. But, Wayne first rode the horse at the very end of True Grit, but fell so in love with the equine that he wouldn't let anyone else ride him, and by the time The Shootist came along, it was a condition for him doing the film, that 'Dollor got written into the script'. It was in the contract. And he did, when J.B. Books stables the horse with Moses Brown (Scatman Crothers; who I think is great in this, "That means I'm the best haggler!") and when he gives the horse to Gillom Rogers (Ron Howard). This was not in the book, but were changes from the book to the script on Wayne's insistence. So, it could be written more clearly. ~ WikiDon (talk) 22:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vincent Price

Michael Jackson's Thriller music video was actually released in theaters on December 2, 1983 in order to be considered for an Oscar. Therefore, Vincent Price's voice contribution to this work is, actually, technically part of his theatrical cinematography, regardless of whether or not his name is mentioned in the text description of his works in his Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.29.160.17 (talk) 07:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Date formats

Looking at this edit, could you please explain why you changed a date format from International Dating (d-m-y) to American Dating (m-d-y)?. --Pete (talk) 04:01, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Sellers

You reversed my edit classing it as vandalism. There is a general consensus on Wikipedia to describe people from the UK as English, Scottish, Welsh, N. Irish as opposed to just British (if the information is available) as it is far more informative. Check the entry for any top name actor you can think of. It is indisputable that Peter Sellers is English - wouldn't you agree? If you look at the history of this particular article, he was correctly described as English for well over a year (28 October 2005 - 16 Aug 2007) with no problem until a single use account change it to British, then the user who is now reverting me reverted attempts by other users to change it back.

[edit] Re:A question regarding Allegro non troppo

Wow, uh, I really don't know, sorry. I had assumed that there were just many different sections to The Firebird, so Fantasia must have a different one, I never checked that out. I would have to do more research myself to answer this, and I'm too busy to at least tonight, but that's very interesting. Anyway, Allegro non troppo is indeed my favorite film, and I'm glad you like it too. Nice to meet you. -KingPenguin (talk) 00:31, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Minor edits

Please learn what a minor edit is. Most of your edits are marked so, and almost none of them qualify. -- AvatarMN (talk) 01:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
