| Well, since the 11 May I've "neutralised" the article somewhat, but I don't think it's worth going too far at getting rid of opinions in this area, so I've added some references to back up the views too. I have yet to find an article that argues that sound is unimportant and so it will be difficult to find a "balanced" counter-argument at present. | |||

| I still don't see what's so wroing with a dictionary definition as a stub whilst people get time to fill in the information.

However, as one myself, I'd like to remind you that not all places (or even types) of filmmaking have the same procedures, and there are often several common variants in usage. Please keep this in mind in the future when possible and add alternate variants rather than deleting ones unfamiliar to you. Thanks again and look forward to your future work!

| :Also, I've cleaned up, merged, or redirected a lot of your recent edits. Please take care to check that a topic isn't already covered on the site, and try not to split an article into separate pages for sub-sections unless the article has gotten rather large. As an example, there's no need to create a page each for the sticks and board for the clapperboard - the existing article is more than fine to contain all text regarding the matter at the moment.

| == Style notes == | |||
| Hi. I have a few style tips which may hopefully help with your editing. First, it would be nice if you use an ], so that other people understand what you changed and why. Second, it is good if you use the preview button (and save only when you are ready to save) so that there are not so many history versions. Lastly, it is good to not overlink. Links like ] and ] are not helpful, since they lead to disambiguation pages. You should rather visit those pages and select the actual meaning you want. Actually, those words don't need links, Misplaced Pages does not have articles on dictionary definitions (meaning of words), since Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary.

| #This is an encyclopedia. It's not the right place for you to insert your opinions on what type of facing is good for what type of music. Players have widely differing opinions about this sort of thing - and also, what you're writing is ''your opinion'', not a reference-worthy fact. You need to be able to substantiate anything you add. | |||
| #If you have dozens of edits to make to the article, that's fine, but '''please make them all at once''' rather than making dozens of separate saves.

| ::Given that you prefer to make some changes, then adjust them, multiple times before you are finished, there is a tool in Misplaced Pages that I think will be very helpful to you.

Try it out and see. It displays only the section you were editing, shown with your changes - but just below is the edit box so you can alter them before saving. | |||

Harv refs checking tool
my apologies for failing to spot that you were working on the article at that moment. All is fine now.
just fyi, if you install the tool, you will see multiple "errors" for Jaffé and similar names. Reason is a bug in the tool's recognition of diacritics. The referencing itself works fine. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Although I'm from England, my Polish background always makes me want to include the diacritics in words. When I was a software engineer and database designer then I would use Unicode as much as possible. It's standard nowadays but Britain and the USA behave as though diacritics are unimportant or optional. They're not. They are different letter of the alphabet. What's the tool you mentioned? Egrabczewski (talk) 12:36, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- It is described at Category:Harv and Sfn template errors#Displaying error messages: the one I use is User:Trappist the monk/HarvErrors.js.
- Another tool that is well worth having is WP:UCB. This one checks conventional 'ref tag' citations too, for inconsistencies and errors. So I try to remember to use it whenever I do a significant edit. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:05, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
