It is time for me to step back from editing. It has been an extraordinary 16+ years. My thanks to everyone who has helped, shown kindness and shared so much during my time here.

Firstly, this portrayal is REAL. It is also not a minority belief. It is truly IN POPULAR MEDIA, in this case, Pewdiepie. This is not a complaint here, but “otbility” does not come up on any dictionaries. Clear that up for me? I would therefore like to reinstate the section back as this would clear the vandalism and is notable enough. I will also add the related references back. If you accept, I will return the page.

== Why I am labeling the “Americans of African descent” categories. ==

Why would Johnny Depp who is only of 3/2048ths “African” descent, so distant it’s virtually incalculable, in the same category of actual African-Americans who would be labeled as such? Therefore, wouldn’t “Americans of African descent” be for people with only a generally distant African ancestry or one known African ancestor from probably over 200 years ago while African-Americans are in the “African-American...” categories? That’s my logic behind it. The top of that page does say “Note: 'African Americans' are citizens of the United States of Black African ethnicity or ethnic descent — they are listed at Category:African-American people.” ] (]) 01:13, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
:Your statement is ] and ] {{u|Trillfendi}}. Why 200 years? Why not 100 or 300? How in the world is anyone going to determine when a persons ancestors were or were not in Africa?

I'm a big fan of Criterion and frequently note their releases in film article Release sections, and borrow from their essays for Themes and Production sections. But please keep in mind they are a business. If essays are linked in the reference sections there is no reason they need to be redundantly listed in External links. That comes across as overkill, or ] and ]. The fact that the opinions are "scholarly" doesn't detract from that. If the essays aren't referenced, they could be put in EL sections for future editors to use for sources. If they already are, I think it's best you give it a rest. ] (]) 04:29, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
:Hello {{u|Ribbet32}}. Not every reader is going to click on every reference so they will be unaware of a given essay if it is only in that section. They will at least have a chance to know that it exists if it is in the ELs. Our film articles are replete with ELs that are also in the ref section (Rotten Tomatoes springs to mind) and there is no guideline at ] restricting links to only one of those two sections. It also does not violate UNDUE as there are 955 CC releases at the moment and we have 100s of 1000s of film articles. I am not advertising their website anymore than the ELs advertise IMDb or TCM both of which link to sales items. Please note that I have taken part in previous discussions about the CC website over the years. Although there has not been one in quite some time the last consensus was that linking to the essays is fine while linking to the sales page is not. You will note that I am replacing any links to the sales page with one to an essay. Please also note that their website went through a major overhaul within the last couple years and many of our current links are dead so I am also replacing those with working ones. If you feel a new consensus is needed (since ]) I feel sure other editors would add their input at the Filmproject. Best regards and thanks for all of your editing here at the 'pedia. ]&#124;] 05:04, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
::I should add that I understand where you are coming from {{u|Ribbet32}}. Many years ago I removed ELs that were also in the ref section and was told by more than one editor that there was no reason to not have them in both. ]&#124;] 05:23, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
:::I hope you are saving up for their Bergman box set that is coming out next month R. It looks magnificent. When they came out with their set of Kurosawa films in honor of his 100th I picked it up and have enjoyed viewing them more than once. It's only drawback is that there are no extras with the films. The Bergman set is going to include several juicy looking documentaries etc. You can save some money if you wait for the Barnes and Noble 50% off sale or one of the CC's flash 50% off sales.

== Shelly Manne "Notes/References" vs. "References/Bibliography" ==

Hi MarnetteD. I don't know where you got the idea that those Shelly Manne section headers have to be "References" and "Bibliography". All the MOS sections on those I've read say it can be either, "usually" "notes or references", etc. What MOS rule are you pointing to? I don't think "Bibliography" is appropriate here because it suggests a comprehensive list of works. --] (]) 04:33, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
:Hello {{u|Alan W}} That articles layout is not like any other that I have seen. It threw me (and still does a bit) but that is my problem and not the articles. Thee notes are detailed and explanatory. It is just that in my working with reFill and reflinks I am so used to inline citations. Please remove the tag if you haven't already. Again congrats on taking such good care of the article. ]&#124;] 04:39, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
::OK, done. And now I see where you were coming from. About "References" vs. "Bibliography", etc., it is really mostly a matter of personal preference. According to ]: 'Title: Editors may use any section title that they choose. The most frequent choice is "References"; other articles use "Notes", "Footnotes", or "Works cited" (in diminishing order of popularity) for this material.' We've probably worked in very different areas. There are plenty of articles that do it the way I did it. And as I said, I think in this case there is a good reason for my choice. Oh, and thanks for the good words about the care I've taken. I put a lot of work into that article, so I get a little touchy when changes are made without a good reason. But now I understand.

I now notice that you've also undone all of my changes to the articles on six of Beethoven's symphonies. As with my changes to the article on Judith Weir these took a lot of work. Could you please explain your objections to my changes and your rationale for undoing them?
Many thanks. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:53, 19 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hi! Just read you reply to my query about my changes to the Judith Weir article. I'm assuming the same applies for these articles as well so I'll follow your advice with them too. Thanks again for your help. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:58, 19 October 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Thanks for being so helpful while I was trying to sort out the reference at ]. Editing on mobile is still 90s-era difficult <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 07:41, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:It is still messed up {{u|CJinoz}}. Alexis Lubeck cannot be the 2019 winner since it is still 2018. In fact the whole list is a year off. Now if she is the 2018 Miss Michigan Teen winner who will be competing in the 2019 Miss Teen Pageant then the article should make that clear in the lede. ]&#124;] 07:46, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::No, the article is fine. As with all the Miss USA & Teen USA pageants, the titleholder is crowned end of 2018 (or early 2019) with the 2019 title and competes at Miss USA/Teen USA 2019. It was pretty obvious that I had put the wrong date in the reference (I was struggling to edit on mobile as my cursor kept disappearing), would it have been so hard to simply fix the date in the reference? Being a collaborative project and all that. <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 07:49, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Your answer is very ] {{u|CJinoz}} so no the the article is not fine. How the hell is an reader with no knowledge of these pageants supposed to figure out how someone is the 2019 winner when it isn't 2019? As to your editing problems the "show preview" button exists to avoid mistakes like the ones you made. Also your edit summaries made no attempt to explain what was going on so I'm not sure how anyone would be able to collaborate. Other editors cannot read your mind. ]&#124;] 07:57, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::::I’ll try to edit the article then, you know, be proactive and try to fix the problem. You’re the first person to bring it up in the decade + the 102 articles have been in existence. I was trying to use edit summaries but kept hitting edit conflicts. Usually I’d try to avoid editing from my phone but I was trying to undo the unintended harm you had done. <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 08:01, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::I did not do any "harm" to the article unintended or otherwise. Again since you dated your ref 2019 I was fixing the problem. BTW the article that you used as a reference does not state that she is the 2019 Miss Michigan Teen winner. Just because I am the first person to mention it does not mean that I am the first reader to be confused by the layout. ]&#124;] 08:07, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::::”Fixing it” it reverting to a line of TBAs that should never have been in the article in the first place. Yeah sure. Oh and from what I see I did use edit summaries, although they could have been more useful I guess. <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 08:16, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Perhaps you did not read what I wrote above - I did not say you didn't use edit summaries I said they did not explain what was going on. As to the TBA's they were so they seemed to be okay for for the last five weeks. Since you seem to want to keep on digging I'll ask that you not post here again about this. I will say thanks for your editing here at the 'pedia and have a pleasant weekend in spite of this kerfuffle. ]&#124;] 08:30, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:I hope you don't mind me replying one final time - I promise I'm not attempting to dig any more and instead hoping we can work together to sort this out. I should have just left your initial reversion in place til I was home and could edit properly rather than doing things by half measures. Now that I'm actually back on my laptop I've fixed up the reference and I've attempted to make the 2018/2019 thing less fuzzy . Do you think this helps? If you think it needs to be more explicit I'll have to have a think about how to best word it. <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 13:08, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::I think that is very well done {{u|CJinoz}}. It really helps me (and I hope other readers) understand how things are handled with the pageant. Thanks for your work on this and cheers. ]&#124;] 13:27, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::Thanks, I'm glad I was able to at least do something right tonight! Have a great day & apologies again for how I handled that <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 13:29, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::::My apologies as well {{u|CJinoz}}. I did make a small change while you were typing here. My usual edit summary is "recent ever so soon isn't" but, as I mentioned, if you prefer the old wording you should restore it. ]&#124;] 13:34, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:::::Oh, I noticed that and was going to fix it, I should have just removed that part but I got distracted trying to find a source for there now being nine placements. Unfortunately their state website hasn't been updated and I didn't want to venture into OR, although by the same token I should definitely have removed the outdated info. Thanks! <small>'''... </nowiki> ''in'' &nbsp;]]</span>]</span>'''</small> 13:53, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
::::::Sounds good {{u|CJinoz}}. BTW I have been an admirer of NZ for decades - long before Peter Jackson :-) I saw '']'' in 1982 and turned many of my friends on to it. It is still a fave so when '']'' showed up on my cable last summer I was a little leery but I wound up liking it as well. I think Matt did a nice job of updating his fathers film. Now you may not like either of these but I decided to mention them in case any of my talk page watchers might be interested. Get some rest! ]&#124;] 14:02, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

The time has come

Kind words from nice people
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

It is time for me to step back from editing. It has been an extraordinary 16+ years. My thanks to everyone who has helped, shown kindness and shared so much during my time here. To you (as well as to those who will be happy to see me leave) I wish you well as you continue on with the Misplaced Pages experiment. I will probably pop back in from time to time but any posts made here will not get answered in a timely fashion. I also know that things may change down the road. Cheers to one and all and happy editing whenever possible :-) MarnetteD|Talk 21:17, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

In the immortal words of DA "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" mmmm fish :-P MarnetteD|Talk 21:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Starkiryu64, Floq, Bishonen, Martinevans123, Doug Weller, Doniago, DanCherek, David J Johnson, El_C and Johnuniq for your kind messages. It has been a privilege editing alongside each of you over the years. I'm finally getting a chance to see my stack of films released by the Criterion Collection and Kino Lorber :-) I am a sucker for their half price sales so my library had gotten kinda large. Best wishes to each of you! MarnetteD|Talk 23:38, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
You too, MarnetteD. You are the reason why my days are a little bit better. Have a jolly good retirment. Starkiryu64 (talk) 00:47, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

  • 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)
