[edit] GTA IV violence
I am attempting to build consensus about the "Pre-launch violence" section in the Grand Theft Auto IV article. Please feel free to contribute to the discussion -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 10:15, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Valkyrie
I avoided some of the less reliable sources that ragged on Valkyrie. WSJ seemed to avoid this (with no mention of Scientology, either), so I thought it was OK to use. I have to admit that part of my fascination with this article is the strange response this film has drawn. Most of the upcoming film articles I follow tend to have some interesting element about it, like I'm following Blindness 'cause I've enjoyed Meirelles' past work, City of God and The Constant Gardener. Anyway, there isn't too much going on about Valkyrie for now, thankfully... I hope the stuff we've put together will withstand the inevitable barrage of editors during publicity for the film and its own release. By the way, glad to see you're making the changes to the cite news templates, too... I really do wish I learned this a while ago. I think I was put off by it before 'cause it seemed so overly specific (Reed Business Information for Variety? Wow, I sure know where I get my information from now.) I don't want to rush into mass-updating, though... probably just for the articles that I think could achieve Good Article or Featured Article status. Hope all is well with you, though! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 20:09, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Indiana Jones
Heh, don't know what happened there, although I was still half-asleep. Anyway, Hurt's role was confirmed not to be Abner now. Alientraveller (talk) 11:48, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, after I see the movie I'll really be pushing myself to improve Indy articles, including the character himself. It'll be tougher than Jack Sparrow, as he's a much older character. Alientraveller (talk) 11:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Request for help on Adam Shankman article
Hello, I'm contacting you about Shankman's upcoming film Bedtime Stories, mostly because last October you were the one who removed the dead link after the initial version of the page was deleted. Well, the movie is in post-production and the page is back, so I'm looking for someone who can put the link back. I left a note on the Adam Shankman talk page last week, but so far haven't had any response. And why don't I just do it myself? The film's distributor is a client of my employer, so I probably shouldn't per WP:COI. Any questions? Feel free to get me at my talk page. NMS Bill (talk) 20:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I see it now. Thanks much, and especially for the quick turnaround. NMS Bill (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] <Image:Ashanti.jpg>
Copyedit form my talk page: "Hi, if you look at the bottom of the page for this image, you'll see that it is not currently used on any article page in the English Wikipedia. This means that under fair-use it's fair game for bots, and for admins to remove it, no matter how good the rationale for its use may be (the main stipulation is to actually use it in an article). To ensure it's kept, you need to go to the root cause of the notice: its removal from the Muppets' Wiard of Oz page. You should either be bold and reinsert it, or take it up at Talk:The Muppets' Wizard of Oz with the editor who removed the image. Hope this helps, Steve T • C 13:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)"

- Hi Steve, thanks for the note. I have traced back its deletion to these comments on the associated talk page: "I agree with the recommendations above. After making a lot of changes, it's always a good idea to check sources again to ensure that they still support the text. I would also like to add that I don't believe Image:Ashanti.jpg meets fair use criteria and should therefore be removed. Somno (talk) 02:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)"
"The image and the identified sources problems — plus the unidentified source issues — may raise a difficulty with the article's GA status. Jim Dunning | talk 03:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)"
"I have removed the image. I'd prefer to wait for the primary editor's response to the suggestions above before taking it to Good Article Review - might be unnecessary. On another note, I question the addition of the "Future developments" section - I don't think it has anything to do with this movie. Somno (talk) 03:55, 12 May 2008 (UTC)"
The statement that "I don't believe it meets fair use criteria" is all that I have to go by. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 13:11, 12 May 2008 (UTC).
- Indeed, which is why you should probably take it up with the editor in question, or for a wider audience, on the article's talk page. He/she may be willing to outline exactly what was thought wrong with the image. If the editor is unavailable, or reluctant to discuss it with you, I've found Jim Dunning (who appeared to agree with the image's removal) to be swift to respond clearly to questions.

[edit] Please watch your language
Please do not call me a fool - I find that insulting and will report it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.151.245 (talk) 13:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
→ With respect Steve, I did not ask you to apologise - I asked you to stop using insulting language. Happy editing and see you next... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.151.245 (talk) 12:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Bridgend
As previously suggested at Talk:Bridgend_suicide_incidents, I have proposed merging Bridgend suicide incidents into Bridgend#Spate of youth suicides. I noticed you were unsure about the need for a separate article, so would encourage you to comment. You can read the proposal at Talk:Bridgend#Merger_proposal.
