[edit] John Carpenter

Wonderful work on the article. Thank you. --Fuhghettaboutit 22:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. It's my pleasure! ````

With regard to where to respond--there is no set policy or even recommendation. Personally I believe that discussions should be able to be followed in one place, so once I say something on someone's talk page I always monitor there for a while, but others, probably correctly, believe that since leaving a comment on another's talk page gives them the "you have new messages" alert, it's always better to respond there; I split the baby by posting to both. If you have an technical editing problems as a newcomer (or for anything else), please feel free to drop me a line.--Fuhghettaboutit

I will, thanks! Sullenspice 22:43, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Atkins (actor)

Thanks for info about vandalism. If you check User_talk:195.93.21.74, you'll see it's an AOL address, i.e. it's used by loads of different people. This makes it difficult to deal with vandalism, unless it's something still ongoing. Please be careful as a mistaken edit or factual error etc is not necessarily vandalism and shouldn't be marked as such, if it was contributed in good faith, rather than deliberate sabotage. Likewise, editorial disagreements aren't vandalism. You can place warnings yourself on talk pages by copying and pasting a template. See Template:TestTemplates for the "test" templates, normally placed in sequence (on vandal's talk page), starting with no. 1 usually. Get back to me if you need to .

I've left a note on the talk page. However, please calm your side of the talk down and don't respond personally, or you just weaken your position. Also edit differences shouldn't be marked as vandalism, nor accusations made as such, unless you know for a fact this is the case. You have to WP:AGF in the first instance. If unverified statements are made, then they can be removed, but don't get into an edit war. If you can't resolve things amicably, then go to a request for comment. If abusive remarks continue, you might want to check out WP:PAIN. I hope this helps. Tyrenius 22:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Assault on Precinct 13

Don't thank me, thank the fine folks at www.impawards.com; seriously, though, I thank you for the kind words, but when I saw the "new message," I was afraid it was someone who objected. As these film articles lengthen, I hope the video covers can be restored. I feel strongly, though, that if it is only one image, it should be the original poster. Thanks for noticing.

[edit] John Wayne Article

Thanks for the tip on the John Wayne troll. I might look into that. Levid37 05:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charlotte Szlovak

You should probably add something to the Charlotte Szlovak page you created explaining why she's notable enough to have a page of her own. All I can see so far is that she directed a documentary in 2003 which has only 16 votes on IMDB and no awards. I doubt that meets notability requirements. Mark Grant 15:03, 31 July 2006 (UTC)


As I indicated on your talk page, her IMDb page is woefully inadequate. She has been writing and directing films since the 1970s. Also, since when have awards become the primary indicator of notability?

Sullenspice 19:38, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Awards aren't the 'primary indicator', but they're one potential criteria for inclusion: Wikipedia:Notability (people). As I said, at the time you posted that, all that it included was one documentary made three years ago which only sixteen people on IMDB had bothered to vote on: had that documentary at least won an award or two, it would have provided more reason to believe she was a notable director. To be honest, I'm still not sure the information on the page now shows her as a notable director, but I'll let others make that decision. Mark Grant 19:49, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Wayne Troll...

Yeah, that guy is a trip huh. He's been doin that junk on the John Wayne article for about 3 months now. Everytime I (or someone else) removes his unsourced hatred he accuses them of being pedophiles or what not. I've tried to get him banned indefinitely, but apparently since he's using an AOL proxy, he gets a free pass to spout off that hate nonsense. Batman2005 15:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Yup, he's gotten the John Wayne page locked a few times from his trolling. A couple of us have special permission from the admins to revert that page as often as needed so his useless edits aren't included. Batman2005 16:33, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Randomly random

The fact that you don't specify a gender on your userpage made me laugh entirely too hard ;-) Also, great job on Assault on Precinct 13! Hopefully this will brighten your otherwise anxiety-filled day.  :-)> -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 17:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Magnus Scheving talk page edit

Ha, that's hilarious... I had no idea he was an admin, I just thought he was some idiot! Kat, Queen of Typos 03:11, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eric Red

I've replied at talk:Eric Red. I'm afraid I don't agree entirely with your position. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:55, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

let's talk about this at talk:Eric Red, and try to find a solution that makes everyone happy (or at least equally unhappy). ·:· Will Beback ·:· 00:36, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree that the anon is acting inappropriately. I'll request protection. Note that the LA Weekly says that Red was suing his lawyer for malpractice, so it's possible he won the suit. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 18:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talk Page Vandal

I reverted some vandalism on your talk page. It's possibly related to this. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 17:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
