== ITN recognition for ] ==
==AFI==
Hi, MarnetteD. You know I am loathe to raise objections to edits by such good, responsible, longtime colleagues as yourself. I would not have done so in this case unless it seemed very serious. At ], I removed what I believe was an obviously good-faith edit that either wasn't supported by talk-page discussion or — and this may equally be true — there was indeed a consensus but the link to the discussion was incorrect. Based on the link on the page, I went to ] and did not see anything about including AFI top-ten films. Is it possible I was reading the wrong archived discussion, and that consensus to include them was reached? If so, I'll be first in line to restore it. If the link did go to the correct discussion, I'm not sure I see how any consensus was reached. Please advise. And I thank you for your understanding.

:Hello {{u|Tenebrae}} I think we are coming to different conclusions about the same discussion. That discussion is only about films that are "nominted" to be on an AFI list. The main point of it was to cut down on the ] inclusion of the films that were nominated to be on a given AFI list. The main reason being that they look at hundreds of films when compiling their "award lists." In the end even Dr.saze (whose edits brought about the thread) agreed so that so there was a ] on that and that is why I made the edit to MOSFILM. The discussion was not about "top ten" lists, at least in part because the AFI lists are usually more than ten films. Based on that discussion I have restored the section that was agreed upon. If you want to start a new discussion about your concerns please feel free to do so. I know there is some misunderstanding going on here and that means I may well have caused you some offense. My apologies as that is not my intention. ]&#124;] 17:30, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

::Hi again {{u|Tenebrae}}. I have had a chance to take a longer look at what is going on with the article you linked to. First, I am sorry that you are having to deal with those unwarrented personal attacks. That sort of ] stuff is always a pain. Next, the items are about top ten lists rather than just AFI recognition. I am pretty sure (with the possibility that the dusty memory banks may be faulty) that there was a different discussion about top ten lists at some point last year but I am not sure when. Just to restate the discussion you have linked to - and the edit I made to MOSFILM - deal strictly with the AFI items in any accolade section. Based on this I would recommend that you start a new thread at the film project - surely some of the members will remember the discussion about top ten lists and be able to link to it. Barring that a new discussion should nail down just what the consensus is regarding top ten lists and how many or few should be included in a given article. ]&#124;] 17:43, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

I adjusted the link in the item — it now goes to the archived discussion, where it had just been going to the main FILM MOS talk page — and clarified that it's about prose mentions. I've already gone back and re-added that mention to the ''Carol'' accolades page. I'll see if there are any others where I've removed AFI top-ten mentions and I'll reinsert there as well. --] (]) 19:46, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

:::::I am sorry that we are on trains that are on different tracks - I am not even sure they are going to the same station {{u|Tenebrae}} :-) AFI lists aren't often restricted to "top ten" items - see ] for example. Now there may be AFI "top ten" lists but I am not familiar with them or their use WikiP articles. Again the focus of that conversation is removing films "nominated" for an AFI list and they were to be removed whether in list or prose form. is one example of a proper removal. The reason is the AFI members would "nominate" a huge number of films for each list and then pare it down. That is as opposed to the Golden Globes, SAG or Academy Awards which nominate five films (except for AA Best Film which can now be up to ten.) Again I am sorry for the confusion.

:RE: "prose". Again, I'm not sure I read the FILM MOS the same way, since it's talking about top-ten lists in the context of prose. And the AFI list doesn't really fit in an awards list, since it's not a competitive award per see — it's not "Best Director" or "Best Actor" — and yet unknowledgeable editors will list it as "Top Ten" when the AFI doesn't even use that term. In the interest of collegiality and compromise, and because we legitimately have different readings of the discussion, may I ask you to restore the word "prose." --] (]) 20:35, 9 January 2017 (UTC)

::Ah. Because I was talking about top-10 lists in my first post. (It's a recent issue because the AFI "Movies of the Year" came out, and that created list-bloat.) Since the MOS passage about the AFI immediately follows the passage about top-10 lists, you can see I made that connection.

::::When you get a chance, I'm hoping you'll reconsider and re-add the word "prose" to the AFI section under WP:FILMMOS accolades, since while you and I realize that the added AFI paragraph doesn't negate everything that went before it, some other editors do not and, as I feared, it is causing back-and-forth editing and list bloat.

::{{u|Tenebrae}} I am afraid that I can't agree to this at the moment. There are active threads about this at MOSFILM and at the Wikiproject film talk page. IMO to make any change would be inappropriate. At the very least it would be seen as ] the system. I am sorry that you have not had replies at the MOSFILM threads - you may want to turn them into official RFC's to move things along.

:::I appreciate your taking the time. I guess I'm communicating badly. I'm saying that the MOS says top-10 lists are in prose. The AFI addition says AFI lists are allowed. But the AFI addition doesn't negate what came before it, which is that such lists are in prose.

::: I guess you disagree, and I must admit I'm curious as to how you came to disagree, since the AFI addition doesn't negate everything in the previous paragraph. --] (]) 18:40, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

::::First {{u|Tenebrae}} please do not assume that I am agreeing or disagreeing with anything. The AFI lists that my post is about are those that are listed in this template {{tl|AFI 100 Years... series}} and those should not be turned into prose mentions in articles. For whatever reason you continue to ignore what I have stated in my posts above. Time and again you keep trying to make my post to the accolades section about yearly top ten list in spite of the fact that it isn't. I will mention one last time you are free to file RFCs and DRs to deal with your situation. I am beyond frustrated with this so please do not post about this again on my talk page.

Hey.

MarnetteD, I never intended on listing ''every single recording'' of the song (which would take quite a few "Books", far beyond this website's listing capacity). I'm only including a sampling of the most notable (or at least popular artists) versions of the song, as mostly all of the other Christmas songs featured on this website have at least "notable" (if not complete) versions of songs recorded by various artists. ] (]) 19:42, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
:Thanks for your post. First you need to understand that "notable" is in the eye of the beholder and that is ] and ]. Next, you are not the only person who will edit that list - the next person will want to add their "notable" favorites and, as it grows, that is where ] comes into play. So you understand I am not completely against mentioning some recordings but be aware that you need ] sources claiming that a version is somehow more "notable" than others - for example the mention of Bing Crosby's recording in the lede. As this is just one editors thoughts on the situation I can recommend that you start a thread on the talk page for the article.

==For the record==
I had gone to bed before the ANI thread was opened. I had also washed my hands of the situation so the block hasn't prevented anything. Two more items lead me to believe that the block is punitive - 1) it takes two to edit war but only one editor has been blocked 2) my edit summary - out of line though it was - was done and dusted. Yes I lost my cool, as thousands of other editors have. This is not something that happens regularly for me but I accept responsibility for my actions and can wait for the block to expire.

Now, as to the thread that I removed there is a large box at the top of that talk page that states '''This page is for discussion of the Reference Desks only. Please don't post comments here that don't relate to the Reference Desks. Other material may be moved.''' I was following that policy the OP and the editor who kept restoring the thread were not. On top of that the OP had already asked a ]y question about physical violence ]. It had been closed but the discussion had continued. They had also taken it here ]. There were several explanations given as to what was inappropriate about their question. So when they opened a new thread with a slight variation (in the wrong place) about the same thing I removed it. Its restoration caused me to blow my top but I can't act like that didn't happen and I do appreciate that was a human mistake on my part. I accept responsibility for what it has lead to. 17:08, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

== Doctor Who ==
Hello! Forgive me if I'm posting this note incorrectly; it's all a bit new to me. I wasn't aware that Misplaced Pages had its own strict definition of "reboot." To be honest, that definition seems a little restrictive... I see its position, but surely some allowance should be made for modern reinvention of years-old media? In this case, as much continuity discarded as was kept. It's not a precise continuation or reboot, but it seems to fit the spirit of the word. In light of the "ignore all rules" guideline, this seems like a way the entry could be made clearer.

Can I assume you're also removing my edit to the paragaraph in the History of Doctor Who? I'm unsure why. It was factual information, not bias, opinion, or critique, and it was pertinent to both the topic and the paragraph.

EDIT: Ahh, I've discovered the history page. I've no idea how to edit it, though, so I'll reply here. I'm confused... The paragraph I edited was already about a division in fans' perceptions, that was why I chose it to add to. As for style changes, speaking as a Doctor Who historian for more years than I like to think of, certainly original Doctor Who underwent numerous stylistic changes, but there were certain constants. Despite the lack of an official show bible, those elements were consciously passed from producer to producer. To acknowledge the significant, oft-discussed, and well-established tonal shift between the two series isn't stating an opinion. It's factual, and a deliberate new direction on the part of the modern production teams. It's been acknowledged by a number of writers and producers from both eras.

ADDED:
Ah, getting the hang of this now.

I put the edit back, but not to be difficult. I'm honestly not trying to start an argument... partly I wanted to explain why I feel it's pertinent now that I understand how the page's history works.

Anyway! So... what I'm trying to say is that which side of the division an individual fan may be on would be a matter of opinion, but the existence of the division and its subject aren't. It's objectively true that the new focus I described was introduced as part of the producers' vision of what a modern series should be. That's an important fact in the life of the program... No criticism or statement of position either way was intended on my part.
] (]) 05:24, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
:In my experience, people who use the term "reboot" for a TV series have no idea of its origin, nor of its proper meaning. If they did, they would't use it in the way that they do. For its original and true meaning, see ].
:So. Did somebody go up to ''Doctor Who'', turn it off and turn it on again? Did this cause it to start running as designed? I really don't think that it did. --] &#x1f339; (]) 12:47, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

WikiP is an encyclopedia not a ]. ]&#124;] 14:25, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Redrose64 - I'm a little taken aback by the patronising tone. I'm not sure what I did to deserve that. I can't speak to your experience, but I'm well aware of the word's origin. As for Doctor Who... I'd say that's a pretty apt metaphor, yes. Apart from the bit where it begins operating correctly again, of course, but bearing in mind that the vast majority of cinematic reboots end up being seen as less satisfying imitations of the originals, I'd then have to argue that the word "reboot" when applied to filmed media has never been as literal as you're taking it. Unless you can let me know of any reboots you'd say actually have been effective in the way you describe...?

But like I said, I'm not that committed to the word reboot. Niether of you have really addressed the edit to which I dedicated most of my explanation. I explained at great length that what I posted is not opinion but objective fact, exactly like the preceding sentence in that paragraph. Can I assume, then, that we're all fine with that?

If you're saying you only removed it because of my failure to provide sources, then I have to ask where the citation is for the rest of that paragraph. I see a great deal of material on Misplaced Pages, and in that article in particular, that doesn't link to citations. I even see that a number of sentences have been marked "citation needed" but allowed to remain on the page.


== RFC Notice ==
Forgive me, but I'm starting to get the impression that my edit was removed not because of Misplaced Pages's rules but because you either don't believe it to be fact or simply don't like it. I aplogize if I'm mistaken. If a citation is all that's required I'll happily provide one.

  • 16+ years of getting paid nothing but beans is quite impressive, not many will stay for that long :) May your retirement be stress-free and full of relaxation. Thank you for all you've done here. I've learned a lot from you. Sro23 (talk) 00:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Beans? You've been getting beans Sro23 :-) Were they coffee or pinto - heehee. Thanks for the compliment and for all you work here as well. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 21:52, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Oh, no! You have been one of my role models, MarnetteD. Sending you thank yous for everything I learned from your wisdom. Enjoy your retirement, may it be filled with beauty! Netherzone (talk) 02:29, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Netherzone. I had several nice editors who taught me how things worked in my time here so I am glad to have passed some of them on to you. I really appreciate your kind message. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 17:35, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

I've just seen this. I am sad to see you leave. Thank you for our wikiship, for a lack of a better word, and I wish you the best of luck with your life (: Callmemirela 🍁 15:35, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you so much Callmemirela. For the moment I still pop in once or twice a week and am delighted to see your message. Wikiship is a great word for the kind and good people like yourself that I've met over the years. Whether on wiki or in my dreams I am so fortunate to have shared time with you. Best wishes to you on wikiP and, even more so, in real life!! MarnetteD|Talk 17:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
You have a "retired" notice on this page, yet still continue to make edits. Does it mean you changed your mind and just forgot to take that down? If not and you plan on leaving, then farewell and I'll definitely miss you. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 04:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for your note SNUGGUMS. Turns out I do drop in every couple days so I've updated my message. It is going to come to an end at some point though. Best regards!! MarnetteD|Talk 04:24, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
My pleasure, and I'm sure you'll make the most of your time here while it lasts. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 19:17, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

  • Thank you for at least keeping it blue ;) - best wishes for what you'll do elsewhere, - what you did here was precious! I'll miss conversations like that, full of music. They made me name you an honourable member of QAI, in the company of RexxS, Yoninah and others we now have to miss. - You archived my flowers of resilience with the daily stories, but please keep reading! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:58, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
