A barnstar for you!

	The Special Barnstar
	For your excellent work on Tenebrae (film)! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:37, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Dr. B! What I thought was just going to be a quick clean-up job has turned into something more, but I'm actually quite enjoying it and looking forward to adding much more. It's kind of re-kindled my enthusiasm for editing, so I should be the one thanking you. :-) (I should probably get around to watching the film proper at some point too ...) Steve ^T • C 19:44, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Really looking like a featured article now and turning on the style! So glad you've rekindled your interest. Perhaps you'd be interested in taking Ben-Hur (1959 film) to FAC later in the year with me or getting something like Citizen Kane or Sunset Boulevard to FA!♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:24, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again for the kudos. As for the other work ... I used to joke that the film articles I took to FAC were merely preparation for turning our Citizen Kane film article into, well, the Citizen Kane of film articles. Alas, that never materialised; real life commitments interfered and I lost the bug. A few years ago, Erik almost had me convinced to help bring The Birth of a Nation up to FA status ready for its 100th anniversary this year, but though I managed a couple of weeks in the library and IIRC got a lot of good info, I just didn't have the time to properly commit. I think if I said yes to Kane and Ben Hur I'd only end up disappointing you. All this is a lead up to my saying that although I've enjoyed far more than I expected this return from retirement, the lull in my schedule is just that. Whatever help I can give I'll continue to, but it would be foolish and unfair of me to make any promises. Steve ^T • C 21:34, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

Gah, I remember that. :) Glad to see you around again! Erik II (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 22:21, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks indeed for your superb work on this very fine article. I'm glad you revised my boldreckless edits, as I myself was rather unsure about their aptitude—I have yet to hear the commentaries by Messrs. Jones, Newman and Rostock, having only seen the movie once, though not that long ago. I prepare to make contributions to other giallo articles, like Profondo Rosso and Suspiria, the latter of which would be great to have as an FA before Mr. Guadagnino's remake. Cheers from Norway, Gertanis (talk) 21:54, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi Gertanis. No problem, and don't worry; most of my edits are not reverting yours. I think the vast majority of your contributions have improved the article; even where I've reworded them slightly, it's only because your edits have made clear that the original wording needed improvement. As a heads-up, I might end up reverting one major change—where the Analysis section was moved to after the Production section. This is in part because the way in which the sections were originally written means that some of the ideas introduced are not mentioned with the correct context in the Production section. With Analysis beforehand, that context allows the Production section to be leaner and not duplicate information that would otherwise have to come later. All the best, Steve ^T • C 22:11, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi again there. Just a thought, do you think Dr. Kermode's 1999 introduction on Film Four warrants mention in the article? And what about Glenn Kenny's commentary on RogerEbert.com? Gertanis (talk) 20:15, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Gertanis. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you (I'm semi-retired). I don't really think there's enough useful information in the the RogerEbert.com article, but I think there are several things in the Kermode introduction that may warrant inclusion. The problem with that of course, is that the video is almost certainly in violation of copyright, so we're not permitted to link to it, per linking guidelines. As pointing people towards the YouTube link is the only way of meeting verifiability, I don't think we can include it. However, I plan on watching the documentary Dario Argento: An Eye for Horror (which features Kermode, among others) to see how much there might be on Tenebrae (Kermode's two-page foreword in Dario Argento: The Man, the Myths & the Magic unfortunately doesn't even mention the film, though that book has a few details not yet in our article). Steve ^T • C 12:34, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

You see, I'm desperately trying to pull you out of retirement. :) I have access to audio commentaries for both Deep Red and Suspiria, so might be able to do something with those articles. Do you have access to Heller-Nicholas' monograph on Suspiria? Gertanis (talk) 15:43, 27 August 2017 (UTC)

Hallo. Truth be told, I'm not really an Argento fan. I only rewrote/expanded Tenebrae (film) because it was in danger at Featured Article Review. Of Argento's films, I've only ever seen this and Suspiria, which—some striking visuals and the score aside—I found slightly underwhelming (at least, I much preferred Tenebrae). However, we have a pretty good library nearby, which last time I checked had a good collection in its film study section. I can at least look there for the Heller-Nicholas book and let you have any relevant info. Steve ^T • C 08:30, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

Stonehenge

I have hundreds of pictures from Stonehenge that I have spent many hours adjusting to find hidden symbols that cant be seen with the naked eye. I have so many that I needed professional help from both view points, so I am working with 2 professors. 1 that supports this is a special place and 1 that supports it is not. They both are now in complete full agreement that this is a place of special interest. I can use my pictures to reveal shapes number symbols that my professors used to locate special places on the planet. One of these places directed them to a big triangle that looks like a msonic symbol, in the middle of a marsh in Dracut Massachusetts, in a State Park. What are the ods that my revealed images led them to this place, and many many other special areas of interest across the planet. I wanted to use your site to leak out this news slowly. But I tested the site out with just 1 picture of 1 minor thing and I now know the results and know with what I am dealing with. So your disgraced website, which is actually harmful to the growth and education and progress of humanity, is of no use to me. I hope you ban me, because I dont want to get intoxicated one night and suddenly get a idea to go to your site. Web sites like this and the people that run them need to be controlled and contained or removed. You are actually hurting humanity with the false edited knowledge you provide that people swear by because they saw it on your site. Your site is now deemed a threat to our very own existence and a threat to the progression of humanity and education of humanity and you will be stopped. One way or the other. Please, ban me, I want nothing more to do with a useless site as this. A profound waste of time. Just a warning, if I was in the shoes of whoever edits these wiki sites, they should be very worried. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keeper0523 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
