Cate Blanchett

Hey – can you please give me a reason why you're reverting my edits to the Cate Blanchett filmography without leaving a reason in your edit summaries? I'm just changing the format to reflect other actor articles that I work on. 4TheWynne 14:08, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

You mean one edit. I'd reverted a similar edit you'd made before with an edit summary (which I believe included removing the theatre credits heading). Honestly, I forgot to leave one now, sorry. Why are you removing the headings? There's no need for structure uniformity across all articles. It's perfectly fine (Film, TV). Lapadite (talk) 14:14, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I just believe that it would be easier if an edit to a filmography would appear under the one heading (Filmography) rather than one of several headings (Film/Television/Video games, etc.). And I implied more than one edit because I was confused with part of the edit summary that you gave in my first edit. But anyway, thanks for letting me know. 4TheWynne 14:20, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

I get that, but I actually find it more convenient to also have an edit link beside the table headings. Ultimately - probably when the article size is greater (which should be sometime this year, if I find time to continue expanding it) - the section will only comprise the link to a main filmography or "screen and stage" article, so the headings thing is rather futile.

Happy Easter!

Thanks Wilhelmina Will! Happy Easter to you too. That chocolate bunny is tempting. Lapadite (talk) 01:16, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Petty attempt

I don't find it relevant to bring up my other contributions in another discussion acting as if my "misguided edits" speak for all my editing. The three edits you speak of are very petty on your part and don't serve as anything except you reaching for something to grab on to. I already admitted at the review that it was my mistake to not bring it to the talk page. At the talk page, I wasn't aware that the track listing didn't need to be referenced but that's what civilized editors do, they discuss things and then the come to a compromise which is exactly what Laser and I did. And yes, those links are not appropriate for her external links.

• Cate Blanchett photographs and bibliography at virtual-history.com. - Not necessary nor do I find it reliable.
• Blanchett, Catherine (Cate) Elise in The Encyclopedia of Women and Leadership in Twentieth-Century Australia. - Also not necessary
• Cate Blanchett: A Life in Pictures, BAFTA webcast - webcasts, videos and interviews are usually removed from external links
• The People one can stay, but there is a template for it
• Sydney Theatre Company - That is the official website for the Sydney Theatre, needs to be on their article not hers.

I find that any editor who goes through my edits to find "dirt" on my editing, is only doing so to make me look as if I don't know what I'm talking about when I do. Misplaced Pages is an ongoing learning experience, one that I have no problem with. You could learn to do the same. LADY LOTUS • TALK 19:41, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

The 3 recent ones liked (which by the way weren't fished; it's on watch list, and I saw the first two yesterday) are relevant there, in that particular discussion, given the context; you'd made multiple edits already based on faulty interpretation of guidelines or not having read over them at all. You are making disruptive edits at those articles now, and are refusing to consider guidelines contradicting your claims; I correctly reverted them on that basis and the content in the discussion at the project. The pettiness is on your part. I already pointed out at that album page what needs and does not need sourcing. The problem is not yet knowing particular guidelines, it's being stubborn about it and your pov despite they being pointed out to you. Precisely, "civilized editors" read over the discussions and consider the content posted, especially when they concern guidelines contradicting your claims. Please keep article-related or guideline-related discussion on their respective pages. I already commented on that on the wikiproject, respond there or bring it up at the article's page. Lapadite (talk) 19:56, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

You really need to ease off the guideline talk when you don't abide by the guideline of consensus. When the consensus isn't what you like, trust me I've been there, you just have to bite the bullet and go with it. This is one those situations for you. If all other editors are telling you they disagree with you and going for something different, then that is what is going to happen. LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:04, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Not all editors, the editor that reverted with you. You need to understand, as has been said by myself and other editors at the Wikiproject, Wikiprojects don't make their own guidelines or reinterpret them per the local editors' pov. Local consensus don't dictate anything when the view being pushed is not supported by community-wide consensus, i.e. guidelines. Need I link for a third time to you: WP:PROJPAGE, WP:CONLIMITED. Again, please take it to the article or Wikiproject discussion, not my talk. Lapadite (talk)
