Please help me with Neron (DC Comics). I want to change Reference 38 to Reference 8b.Malcolmlucascollins

Hi Malcolm. Almost all of the references currently used in Neron (DC Comics) are offline/unlinked. I think you should start a new section on Talk:Neron (DC Comics) describing why you want to change the reference. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page, although you are guaranteed quicker feedback at the Wikipedia:Teahouse.

Additions to two Gamera film articles

edit

I noticed that Gamera 2: Attack of Legion and Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris don't have their Japanese titles translated into English like the other Gamera films do. If this could be done, that would be nice. Also, I don't think that the word "kaiju" needs to be italicized in all of the Gamera film articles, but that's just me, I guess. If action could be taken on this, thanks!Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 22:16, 27 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Adding to Blood of Dracula and The Return of Dracula

edit

I'd like to suggest that someone should add pictures of the theatrical release posters of both Blood of Dracula and The Return of Dracula to their respective Wikipedia articles. It would, IMO, help out those two articles a lot.Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 03:43, 1 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Trying to edit the Gamera articles and the List of Daiei Films article

edit

I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but every time that I try to add new and accurate information into the various articles about Gamera and Daiei Films, someone keeps taking it out! For example, I found out long ago that Daimajin and Gamera vs. Barugon (in that order) were released as a double feature in Japan. But shortly after I put this in, the next thing I know, it's gone-and the same thing happens whenever I add anything to these articles and the List of Daiei Films article. Can someone please tell me what in the world is going on here? This is the only time that this has happened consistently. Am I hurting someone's feelings here? If so, I'm very sorry. Honest I am. But the info that I'm adding is true and valid!Malcolmlucascollins (talk) 23:14, 1 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Malcolmlucascollins. If you want to add content to wikipedia, make sure you have a reliable source as we do not post original research. Current content you have been adding/changing there has not been what is reflected in the sourced content. Take it up on the talk pages of the specific articles if you have issues.

Fixing List of Batman comics

edit

There are a few things that need to be done to this article. First, four books need to be put in: Batman/Teenage Mutant Turtles Adventures (in Collected Crossover Editions) and Batman: Black and White Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 3 (in Other), all in Miscellaneous collections. Second, I added the original edition of Bruce Wayne - Murderer? using information from the Bruce Wayne: Fugitive Wikipedia article. This article says that the ISBN is invalid, yet I know that copied it from the previous article. Can someone please fix this and tell me what I did wrong?

Please preview, consolidate, and summarize

edit

Hello, and thanks for your contributions. Below are a few editing suggestions to make it easier for you and others to collaborate on the encyclopedia. Please preview, consolidate, and summarize your edits:

  • Try to consolidate your edits, at least at the section level, to avoid cluttering the page's edit history; this makes it easier for your fellow editors to understand your intentions, and makes it easier for those monitoring activity on the article.
    • The show preview button (beside the "publish changes" button) is helpful for this; use it to view your changes incrementally before finally saving the page once you're satisfied with your edits.
  • Please remember to explain each edit with an edit summary (box above the "publish changes" button).

Thanks in advance for considering these suggestions. Eric talk 13:03, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello again, Malcolm. Thanks for your edits to the northern flicker article. Once again, it would be helpful to the rest of us if you would follow the above suggestions. Eric talk 12:23, 22 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Malcolm, is there anything in the above suggestions that you have trouble understanding? I would be glad to help you if you are struggling with the concepts there. Eric talk 20:29, 4 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
Malcolm, I see that you continue to make many separate little edits per session instead of grouping them, and that you are not providing edit summaries. Please don't be bashful about asking the community for help if there is something in the concept that eludes you. Eric talk 14:50, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Northern flicker edits

edit

Hello Malcolm-

  • Please note that Wikipedia policy calls for providing sources for information such as that you added regarding flickers on Guadalupe Island. Guidance here: WP:CITE.
  • I noticed that you restored the links I removed from two common words in the above article. I undid that. You can find relevant guidance here: MOS:OVERLINK.
  • The manual of style also advises against beginning a sentence with a numeral: Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Numbers_as_figures_or_words. I restored the 10 in the Taxonomy section to ten. I also changed the 12 in the preceding sentence to twelve just for consistency.

Finally, as a general rule, it is better to discuss issues with other editors rather than simply reverting changes to maintain your preferred version. Eric talk 12:27, 11 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Daiei

edit

Hi Malcolmlucascollins. I'd have to go through a few of the Galbraith books. The Toho one would not likely have it as its predominantly focused on films Toho either produced or distributed. As it was distributing some of Toei's films as the 90s crept in (namely Gamera films, etc.), they were included. In his book the Japanese filmography, the film is sadly not included (it jumps from Rainbow Kids, Rainbow Bridge and even Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer which was a Japanese and American co-production. As for re-naming the article, I believe at one point it was under the impression that the company was called "Daiei Film" (as the wiki article is listed as Daiei Film). So I guess the actual article title should be "List of Daiei Film productions" as "List of Daieie Film films" sounds a little more strange. What do you think? Andrzejbanas (talk) 02:40, 10 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi again. Just as a heads up as you seem to be interested in the Daiei films, I can try to look up some films, but per WP:BURDEN, if you want material added to these lists or content added with sources to the article, it's up to you to find them. I would suggest we work together. As for the official titles, if you could confirm whether or not they are official titles or translated titles in Ragone's book, that would help a lot.

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Underworld Unleashed; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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 and 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. Binksternet (talk) 23:15, 13 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your edits to Rottweiler. However, I have undone some of them because of unnecessary changing of link syntax (along with link breakage for the link about carts), as well as violation of the Manual of Style about abbreviations (we don't use periods/full stops in abbreviations) and spelling out numbers. In particular, we never use "U.K.". Also keep in mind the above message by Eric; your failure to heed it is disruptive and may land you with a block. Graham87 04:58, 23 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Underworld Unleashed while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Please stop freely switching between your registered username and the IP range Special:Contributions/2600:1700:7E31:5710:0:0:0:0/64. Take a look at the WP:MULTIPLE guideline for an explanation.
