[edit] Why I made this template

  • The following is copied from a sandbox where I kept the text of this template before I created it. —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 14:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I first encountered 24.15.217.4 (talk · contribs) (and their propensity for adding filmographies) a few months ago during a mini-revert war on Stepin Fetchit (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) … I'm going to caution them again and do some cleanups for a while. —68.239.79.82 (talk · contribs) 09:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hmmm...

I have a bit of a problem with restricting it to just films with existing articles. When I create a new film section (e.g. Sig Ruman), I start with those, but also comb through IMDb and add films that have been seen by a significant no. of people and/or are highly rated. Then, when time allows, I create stubs. In the meantime, at least the reader is made aware of noteworthy entries and dates. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:03, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's every editor's individual choice, of course ... I happen to be a deletionist, so I tend to favor the restrictive view, and feel that the supplied links to IMDb, TCM, and other data bases are sufficient. :-) ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.110.142 (talk) 10:51, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
