John Krasinski as Jerry Olshove in "Detroit"?
editHow do you know this? "Jerry Olshove" was my grandfather so I am very interested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.76.184.149 (talk) 18:12, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
There is always a chance that this could just be a groundless rumor but, sources say that is who he is playing. You say he is your grandfather, perhaps the source of this piece of filmmaking has approached you and your family about the portrayal of your grandfather - perhaps the actor himself. TheMovieGuy (talk) 19:40, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
No one has approached us - I only know about this from your uncited edit here on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.76.184.149 (talk) 19:50, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
Discussion on MonsterVerse talk page
editHey, I brought the Ken Watanabe casting issue on the MonsterVerse talk page. Your two cents would be greatly appreciated. Armegon (talk) 01:57, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
Permission update.
editHey, thanks for the update with release information. I've been trying to keep track of roughly 100 or so films that may or may not be released this year. Obviously, you should cite information like that when you update. But I didn't mind citing it for you. After all, you did a mobile edit, and I'm sure that must be a bitch to format on a phone. (I won't even bother attempting!) Thanks again though. Now I can scratch that off my upcoming 2017 film list. Can't wait until all these release dates are finally decided, ugh. They take forever.--Cinemaniac86Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire 02:33, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Godzilla KOTM discussion
editAn editor moved the draft into mainspace and turned Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019 film) into a redirect. I have undone this and started a discussion at Talk:MonsterVerse#Article_updating_of_Godzilla:_KOTM. Alaney2k (talk) 04:47, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

editPlease do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to List of Warner Bros. films, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

- I can't help but notice you made the same disruptive edit as a blocked editor. You wouldn't happen to be a sock puppet, would you? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:23, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- What are you even talking about buddy? You make no sense. What does that mean, a sock puppet? No, I'm not a sock puppet? Also that link you provided that you called a disruptive edit, wasn't from me. I did it today because "The Flash" was REMOVED FROM THE RELEASE SCEDULE several months ago, so yes it is very constructive considering that the information present is false. TheMovieGuy
- You made the same edit as someone who was blocked for disruption. What is your source that it has been removed from the release schedule? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:27, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- No, I did not make the same edit as someone who was blocked for disruption. Whoever made that edit was trying to do exactly what I am trying to do and that is provide updated and relevant information and to unfalsify false info. My source was added as an explanation when I undid your reversion. Just check those logs.TheMovieGuy
- Yes, you made the same edit as someone who was blocked for disruption – I blocked that person myself. You still haven't provided any proof that this film has been "removed from the release schedule". We have a source that says this film is under production. You are claiming that it is not. You have not provided any proof for your claim, yet a trade magazine says it is still on the release schedule. Unless you can prove it, stop blanking sourced content. This source from June 2017 says the film is still under production. So, please, stop being disruptive. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:25, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Prove that that person you blocked is me. It would have the same IP address, wouldn't it? It is not me and you should stop making accusations you cannot back up. Here is my reference for removing The Flash. This source. Take a look and lemme know what you think buddy. I won't revert the page unless you find the source appropriate. Lemme know friend.

@NinjaRobotPirate: FYI, I filed Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/DisneyFanatic24 a little while ago, and User:Bbb23 found that User:TheMovieGuy is unrelated to User:DisneyFanatic24. 172.58.40.167 (talk) 19:53, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- THANK YOU. TheMovieGuy
- Interesting CU result. Anyway, a self-published blogger on Forbes.com only speculates that the film was delayed – it says nothing about the film being canceled. Variety Insight, a database maintained by the trade magazine Variety, says the release date hasn't changed from March 2018, and they get their data directly from the studios. Deadline.com, in the above link, also still has it slotted for a March 2018 release. As far as I can tell, reliable sources agree on a March 2018 release date and that it's still under production. If the only source you have is a blogger who doubts it will make its release date, I don't see any reason to take it off the list. By the way, Forbes.com publishes pretty much anyone on their blogger network, and there's no editorial oversight. Their bloggers are usually not journalists, though some of them are. Films should not be removed just because a self-published blogger speculated that a film may not meet its release date – not when we've got multiple reliable sources that say the release date has not changed. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:21, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I won't touch it. also, next time, it'd suit you well to follow your own instincts and not make an accusations without any reliable backup. I bid adu, NinjaRobotPirate! TheMovieGuy

Non-free image use
editHi TheMovieGuy. The licensing of each image you see on Wikipedia is determined by it copyright status and not every image file you see on Wikipedia is licensed the same. Some files are licensed as public domain or licensed under a free licensed suitable for Wikipedia and these are often collectively referred to as "free images". Other files are licensed as non-free content because of their copyright status and these file are commonly referred to as "non-free images". Non-free image use is highly restricted and each use of such an an image must satisfy Wikipedia's non-free image use policy. One of these restrictions is WP:NFCC#9, which says that non-free content can only be used in the article namespace. For this reason and as explained in WP:DRAFTS#Preparing drafts, non-free content cannot be used in Draft:The Happytime Murders. Perhaps you did not notice the edit sum I left the previous time I removed the images; therefore, I'm posting this here to provide more explanation. Please do not re-add these files or add any other non-free files to this draft because doing so is clearly in violation of relevant Wikipedia policy, and continuing to do so will eventually lead to an administrator being asked to intervene. Once the draft has been approved and moved to the article namespace, it may be possible to re-add the images as long as their respective uses comply with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask as WP:MCQ or WT:NFCC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 23:53, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
- OK. That is fair.

editPlease delete edit containing the name you added in Detroit movie on July 16 as it could be consider libel. The lawyer for the named person already contacted the film producers regarding libel and defamation prior to your addition. If you are working for the filmmaker, then it is additionally a conflict of interest for you to add the person's name after the fact. Telltheteuth (talk) 04:34, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Jupitus Smart 04:52, 30 July 2017 (UTC)I'm not sure about your edits to the 2017 Sundance Film Festival
editOn the Sundance website and press releases, they made a point of clarifying that there were only 17 premieres. Are you sure you have the films correct that you added? DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 19:59, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
- Yes sir. It's been awhile since I made that edit, do you think you can link me to it?
- It looks like it was a series of the most recent revisions to the page, from June onward. I just wanted to check, as most of those films weren't discussed by Sundance, which was talking about only 17 premieres. DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 03:55, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
Flatliners (2017 film)
editHi,
I restored the plot section, as I think it's sufficient. Your opinion? The IP deleting before, posts such claims also in other articles (the reason, I looked after it). AVS (talk) 16:39, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
- What are you even talking about? TheMovieGuy
Happyland Murders
editHi. My problem with the section is that it really doesn't add anything to tell us anything about how the production occured, and the paragraph is almost entirely about the revelation about what the plot is. This not only strikes me as unencyclopedic but also will be redundant fairly quickly, once the movie comes out. I think it'd be appropriate, to tell, how Henson came up with the idea but just a plot info dump seems excessive. --Deathawk (talk) 03:56, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Good point Deathawk - TheMovieGuy

edit"also on board" is not a confirmation. This was discussed before, we need something more concrete. Please revert your edit. Rusted AutoParts 19:48, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- "also on board" IS a confirmation Rusted AutoParts. This could be all we get unless a press release is issued. Until then, I think this is evidence enough that these performers have signed on my internet editor friend.TheMovieGuy
- No it isn't confirmation. Please remove all four from the cast section, as you've now linked in Variety for Scott which says he's only in talks. We need to be 100% accurate. "On board" is not a measure of accuracy. So please revert. Rusted AutoParts 20:00, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- "On board" IS a measure of accuracy when it comes to casting. And, like I said, this could be all we get unless a press release is issued. This is sufficient enough confirmation. Take it to the talk page if you have an issue with it friend. Btw, completely off topic but I've gotta ask, what are your thoughts on this whole Weinstein scandal? It seems like it is the ONLY thing Hollywood can discuss now. TheMovieGuy
- Firstly, since Deadline and Variety were the first to make the announcements they were in negotiations for roles, we cannot then take them saying something like "on board" to mean it's an official thing considering they themselves were the ones reporting it. It's too vague a term to use as confirmation. So it's only correct to leave them as bein in negotiations until a press kit like you said is available. Secondly since Weinstein was a big player in Hollywood it makes sense there'd be a massive impact in Hollywood. Rusted AutoParts 20:56, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
- Something that you said there worked for me, only because I don't want to argue this matter with a friend anymore..TheMovieGuy

Happy Time Murders again
editYou recently reverted a bunch of edits to The Happy Time Murders seemingly alarmed at the ammount of content missing. The content is still there, I just changed it, from Proselines, to Prose. T was actually very careful with it, and the only things I outright deleted for the most part was repetitive info. The section may look smaller, but it actually provides the same info although much easier to read. It's easier for a reader to grasp for instance that the film went through multiple studios. I know that you put a lot of work into the page, and that work is mostly still intact, it just is more readable.---Deathawk (talk) 20:38, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
- I hear you and thusly, I have, in my opinion, crafted a satisfactory cure to the bloated production tab. TheMovieGuy
- Hey I'm doing some brief touch up work on the article. Mostly just basic copy editing stuff. I'm really going to try to not to mess to much with the structure. Most of it is basic stuff like not repeating the year after each month and that sort of thing. --Deathawk (talk) 05:22, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
I would like to get your opinion on proposed film manual of style changes
editHi, me and a couple other editors are currently drafting up production section guidelines for the Film Manual of style, and I thought you may be interested in commenting on it. You can find the discussion Here --Deathawk (talk) 00:49, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for taking this on. I just saw the 2,000 word "novel" that someone added as a plot summary(!) earlier today and was thinking through which 1400 words to cut. Thanks again. Jmg38 (talk) 00:18, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you! Yeah, it was huge, and still is sort of. Mysteries are tricky plot summaries to write short and sweet. I suggest you look at my revised version and take a stab at it if youd like Jmg38. - TheMovieGuy

edit You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. — Film Fan 11:43, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Just a note
editYou have zero authority to block people, and you're treading on thin ice with edit summaries like this. If you are reverted, make your case on the talk page. Don't get into a pointless edit war that gets you blocked. Primefac (talk) 19:26, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- I know i don't and so do they, but when im pissed off i say it anyway. I just dont appreiciate this guy, coming on my talk page and threating ME with a block when the user does not do their own research to back up their claims that i am disrupting or whatever. Good case in point in on Annapurna Pictures. TheMovieGuy
- I hear ya. There have been a few times where I've been reverted when I know I'm right, and it gets my goat to take it to the talk page and discuss the matter for a few days while the "wrong" version sits on the article in the meantime, but that's about the only way Wikipedia keeps from imploding on itself. Primefac (talk) 19:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- You are absolutely right, sir. My apologies for my comments in editing. Frustrations be damned, it is still wrong to write such things, i know. What frustrates me more, is that instead of simply reverting my edits, he/she threatens to block me? I consider that to be a harsh measure of action considering all the good work ive done here - and considering the fact that i ended up being correct in my edits. So thats just why i said what i said, but it is wrong, i know. Thank you sir. TheMovieGuy

Civility
editI'd advise you to check out WP:CIVILITY before you continuing making edits like this and this. It also doesn't seem wise to threaten an administrator with a block for following guideline and policy, particularly when you aren't even an admin yourself. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:27, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- I know it is not wise, i am a bit crazy when im angry. The user him or herself knows it and we’ve mostly gotten along well. I just dont understand why he/she is threatening me without doing the research as i have. So i expressed to him such things. I dont take kindly to threats of blocks when my edits can be proven to be fact most of the time. Sometimes i forget to put refs but you could just as easily back it up yourself if you wanted to try to verify it. Sometimes i dont considers refs necessary when the info can easily be verified by a simple google search. Like i told the gentlemen above, he knows and i know i have no authority but its my way of expressing my angst with him instead of using curse words. Good day, sir. TheMovieGuy

editDespite of being approached by NinjaRobotPirate, Primefac, Chrissymad about what you are doing wrong with your edits, your subsequent edits shows no indication that you understand what other editors are trying to tell you. Wikipedia:Verifiability is not optional. Persistent addition of unsourced claims is subject to indefinite block. If you are unwilling the follow this policy, you may want to consider alternative outlets as you have been suggested. This is a collaborative project, so if you are going to resort to gross incivility whenever other editors are telling you what you are doing wrong, this may not be the place for you.

Unblock
editTheMovieGuy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I understand I need to cite sources and I disagree with Alex’s reasoning behind my blocking. I think i have come to an understanding with Ninja and the others i was onyl in agreement with from the get-go. TheMovieGuy (talk) 20:25, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Accept reason:
Unblocking as the user agrees to adhere to sourcing policies. Please make sure to take the two points I have raised into your consideration, and happy editing. Alex Shih (talk) 20:42, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- I can understand getting heated and being "in the moment", and I think the last few posts you've made have shown that you recognize that. I have seen some concerns expressed about a lack of referencing in your edits, and possibly the reason for your mini-edit war. If unblocked, I would like to see you abide by our sourcing guidelines and to make sure any controversial change (e.g. "you get reverted for unsourced material") is either discussed on the talk page or supported by reliable sources. Does that seem reasonable? Primefac (talk) 20:32, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) I will unblock this account myself if you can address the following two points. 1) Having received legitimate warnings is not a reason to resort to personal attacks 2) Having
done a lot of good here
is not a reason to add poorly sourced content, with the rationale of other users should just look up the claims in Google search ([1]). Thank you. Alex Shih (talk) 20:38, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Unblock Part 2
editYes sir, very reasonable. I promise that i will hereforth abide by Wikipedia’s sourcing guidelines and I will make sure that any change i consider to be controversial is either discussed on the talk page or supported by reliable sources. TheMovieGuy TheMovieGuy (talk) 20:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
- Unblocked. Alex Shih (talk) 20:43, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Unblock Part 3
editI am in understandment that legitimate warnings do not provoke personal attacks. To have received a warning, thinking about it now, is actually a generosity on NinjaRobotPirate’s part. I guess i couldve just been blocked with no warning at all.
I also admit that, despite all the good of done for Wikipedia, this is not forgive me for adding poorly sourced content, with the rationale that other users should pick me up when im slacking up. That is NOT responsible editing, it is lazy editing. I promise no longer to partske in lazy editing and to source everything i add MYSELF instead of expecting others to do it for me. TheMovieGuy (talk) 20:48, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Thank you so much for this generosity. I will NOT take it for granted. TheMovieGuy (talk) 20:51, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
Unblock Part 4
editStill says i have been blocked from editing,a nd that is why i will thank you on my own talk page instead of your own. Do i have to wait 24 hours, for the unblock to be effectively in placed? Even so, i want to thank AlexShih for unblocking me as well as Primefac for supporting my unblocking. Thank you gentlemen so much, i wont take your generosity for granted!

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ready Player One (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Say Anything (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

editWelcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Ready Player One (film), but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say.

Hi TheMovieGuy how does one go about to having a wikipedia page approved for an actor, I have a client in the 15:17 to Paris and we need his Wiki page to be linked on the original page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ppr2018 (talk • contribs) 00:30, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
- You see, youve linked a draft. The page must be published into the main space to be linked to his name. You’ll need to have plenty of sources and then oyu can submit your draft for the actor, and in a short while, it will either be approved or declined based on the quality of the page. If it is approved, then the page is in the mainspace and can be linked to the actor’s name. TheMovieGuy

Role
editThere is no point to saying what the name of the character was, outside of the film article itself. It does not mean anything until a reader goes to that film article, at which point they can learn the role name. There are many simple filmography list that only need the film name and the year. Not everything has to be tabled. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 02:18, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
- Not everything has to be labeled, but its how most filmographies are labeled because it looks better.TheMovieGuy

I noticed you moved Late Night (film) out of draft. Per notability guidelines on films in production (WP:NFF) unless the making of the film itself is notable than an article is not yet called for. If you wish to discuss further or have questions please ping me here or leave a comment at my talk page. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:06, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, according to guidelines, being in production fulfills the requirements. The film has plenty of references and is now in production and thusly it is fit for mainspace. TheMovieGuy
Why did you remove my edit of Columbus (2017 film)
editCould you explain why you removed my edit of Columbus (2017 film)? Thanks CWBoast (talk) 16:09, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- I'm not TheMovieGuy (just came here to see something), but looking at your edit, it seems a little... off for the plot summary. (Granted, one of TMG's later edits strikes me as odd, too, so that might just be me today and not have anything to do with what they thought.) I hesitate to call it cruft (since it's one sentence, the architecture appears to fit heavily into the plot, and you sourced it (though the source doesn't appear to mention the buildings by name, except perhaps the library?)), but at best I think it might have fit better rephrased and put in the Production section were it to be included. Again, I'm not this editor, so that's just a guess at what's going on, but I figured I'd add how I interpreted the edit in case it might be helpful. - Purplewowies (talk) 16:27, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- CWBoast i felt it didnt need to be included in the plot tag. However, as the user above suggested, i think placing it in the production tab might be a better decision. Arhetecture is an important aspect of the film. Also, Purplewowies , since you were visting my page, is there anything you’d like to bring up to me, i’d be glad to listen! Thank you! TheMovieGuy
- Thank you, both. I'm happy with where the sentence is now. CWBoast (talk) 04:50, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

editYou may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. STOP USING ROWSPANS IN FILMOGRAPHY TABLES! You very well know that this practice is frowned upon yet it's painfully obvious that you deliberately ignore that regardless and quite frankly have no good reason to do so. Please desist. Snuggums (talk / edits) 14:48, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- Nowhere in the guidelines is it explicitly stated that rowspans in filmographies may not be used. It is not disruptive editing. It is clean, clear editing. TheMovieGuy
- NinjaRobotPirate, Somethingwickedly, Vmars22, Rusted AutoParts, NathanielTheBold, Captain Assassin! what do you all think about this? Is it stated explicitly in the wikipedia guidelines that users cnanot use rowspans for filmographies? If so, why? If not, then why is it apparently, as far as Snuggums puts it “frowned upon”? Also, it is used fairly often and it is commonpalce as you all should know considering that we all edit actor/actress articles all the time. I favor rowspans with regards to filmographies because, as i said above to Snuggums, it gives it a cleaner and clearer look. Less sloppy, in this user’s opinion. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you! TheMovieGuy
- It's been long-standing practice to use the table format that WP:FILMOGRAPHY. Even if not in explicit words, it's at least very strongly implied that the format shown there is the correct usage. Don't pretend like you don't know that. Using rowspans in filmography sections also actually gives the opposite of "a cleaner and clearer look" by interfering with the ability to sort via year of release and also potentially roles, titles, and miscellaneous notes without making a mess. This means that no filmography articles or sections should use them. Snuggums (talk / edits) 16:20, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
- I am not understanding your argument. How does it possibly interfere “with the ability to sort via year of release and also potentially roles, titles, and miscellaneous notes without making a mess“? I have never had a problem such as that, nor have i known a user to. Also, “very strongly implied” is an interpretation. If it isn't explicitly stated that one cannot use rowspans, then one could reasonably interpret that it is allowed regardless of “implications”. An implication is a suggestion not a rule and one is not forced to follow a suggestion or hint in any particular direction. At least, this is what I gather.TheMovieGuy
- If I were to insert rowspans for years as well as roles and tried to sort items by either field, it could throw things out of order when I try to sort back. The lack of rowspans provides better accessibility by eliminating that unnecessary risk which isn't worth taking. Simple as that. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:14, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

You’ve been warned about this before and yet you added rowspans to Saoirse Ronan’s filmography. Why? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 05:18, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Krimuk2.0, I have read through the guidelines, and have found that nowhere within the guidelines does it say that rowspan cannot be used, and, thusly, I am not acting out-of-bounds with my use of them. As for why I like rowspans, I believe that they help keep filmographies tidy and make them look neater and more clear. I hope this answers your question. TheMovieGuy
- We must try and make Wikipedia accessible for all reader. Please read the excellent essay at User:RexxS/Accessibility, where it says, "When you're tempted to use tables with rowspans, please consider what it sounds like to our visually impaired readers". I hope you'll keep this in mind. Cheers! Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:30, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:08, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Release dates
editI’ve been seeing you filing movies under release years despite them not presently having an established release date. Though a Release year for in this case Antlers (film) could very well be 2019, it’s yet to have been announced as such, and could easily be set for a 2020 release. So for future reference if the release date isn’t established when adding credits to actors or directors wiki page filmographies could you list it as TBA? Thank you. Rusted AutoParts 18:45, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
- I personally see nothing wrong with listing it in the presumed year of release unless proven wrong - which doesn’t happen to often, - however, since you asked, I’ll go along with your process with regards to it. Let’s give it a go. TheMovieGuy
- I feel it's just better to err on the side of caution. That way confusion isn't caused. And I'm not sure if the italicization of the word you is pointed or not, but I'm only asking, not commanding. Rusted AutoParts 18:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Millicent Simmonds
editAre you still an active editor on this page? If so, is it worthwhile to add an "also known as"? When younger, she went by Millie Warren.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:
- Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)

About Draft:Luca (2021 film)
editHi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:Luca (2021 film) a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Luca (upcoming 2021 film). This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Starzoner (talk) 19:01, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use File:James Harrison Blood Donor.jpeg
editThanks for uploading File:James Harrison Blood Donor.jpeg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 14:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

The Whale
editRegarding The Whale (upcoming film), I see that you removed an inline citation from the "Plot" section as seen here. I've restored it. Because the film is not yet out, the film itself cannot be used as a primary source to verify the plot. It's also possible that the plot (or synopsis, really) could be reworded further when the film starts to get marketed. In any case, the citation is for now appropriate to verify what the film is about. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me)

WP:NFF concerns
editPlease be cautious about moving drafts on upcoming films to mainspace. Per WP:NFF, "Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun." Just because the projected filming start date has not passed does not guarantee that filming has actually begun. Also, just because a project is in the filming phase does not mean it should automatically have a devoted mainspace article. The filming date is minimum standard.

Your edits to Draft:Montero (album)
editHi, please don't move draft articles to the mainspace without seeking consensus in the future, like you did with Draft:Montero (album). Usually when an article is in draftspace and it's already been rejected for a move into mainspace, the article needs to be reviewed before a move to mainspace. --LivelyRatification (talk) 04:15, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

editYour recent editing history at Jenna Ortega shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

- Hey Mike, that was information gathered from critic reviews, the film is out now - worth a watch if you're into crime dramas! my apologizes for the confusion! TheMovieGuy (talk) 22:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

editPlease do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Draft:Superman: Legacy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Please explain your removals of reliably sourced content, including descriptive quotes, and if you have any concerns with them, please discuss on the talk page before removing them again. Thank you.

Plagiarism and copyright issue with plot summary
editHello TheMovieGuy, could you explain why your July 2022 plot summary of Leave the World Behind (novel) is identical to the October 2020 plot summary of the novel at bibliofile.com? Are you aware of WP:COPYVIO? Notify Kane5187. You should also, immediately, identify if any more of your plot summaries are copied; if you do not do so and they are found, I imagine consequences would be even more dire. This is a serious matter and I look forward to you addressing this promptly. starship.paint (RUN) 02:32, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hi TheMovieGuy. When you have a minute, would you please respond to these questions? Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously for legal reasons, so these sorts of concerns do need to be addressed. If this is just a one-off incident of copying, it's not too big a deal as long as you commit to not doing it again in the future. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 09:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Honestly have no recollection of this edit. This is news to me. I don't copy and have no intention of copying anything or violating anything. If that happened, it was by mistake and I have no intention of making it again. Any full summaries I've done ( those listed on my profile) are original summaries by me.

- No worries—thanks for the response. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:21, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

editHello, I'm BlueboyLINY. I noticed that you recently removed content from Karan Soni without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tropico (upcoming film)
editHello TheMovieGuy,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Tropico (upcoming film) for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.
If you don't want Tropico (upcoming film) to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
