Greetings! No problem. There was some discussion at CfD a while back that "television documentaries" covered too much ground and wasn't well-defined. So it was decided to rescope into the two categories mentioned on that page. AFAIK, {{cl|Documentary television series}} is for series like '']'' or '']'' that go for a whole year. (Sometimes when I come across an article about an episode of a documentary tv series, I fudge and put it in this category.) {{cl|Documentary television films}} would be for documentaries of any length which are ''not'' part of an ongoing season-length series of shows, which is why you get something as short as 30 minutes in this category.

Redirecting you. I was just trying to politely say that your initial report did not constitute vandalism, and that I saw edit warring on both sides. Unfortunately, administrators generally do not settle content disputes, but instead address policy issues and violations. So, hypothetically, even if the anon was correct that Branagh is not "British", but s/he still violated 3RR, admins would not take into consideration that the anon was right, just that the anon violated 3RR. Also, this is my first day being an admin, so I apologize for that as well. I just came across a ] report that didn't belong on that page (and had been removed by another admin ) and that is how I ended up messaging you. As for removing talk page comments, ] states that a user can remove comments from their own talk page (but archiving is preferred). I looked at the anon's talk page and the last message was from 2 months ago, and I couldn't find a single vandalism warning. I'm planning on leaving the anon a message. I hope this clears things up, and sorry for the confusion. In the future, in case you didn't know, 3RR is reported at ].-]&nbsp;</sup>]] 01:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Marnette D,

I see you keep changing my contribution on "Eyes Wide Shut". Now, I have better things to do in my life than loosing my time in a struggle with you, but it is clear that you have not seen the movie and that you don't know how to write in English. The editing you did on the piece is not only grammatically hideous, but it falsifies the facts, and this is insufferable. Now, what I have written sticks closely to the facts, there is no personal research, it's just a matter of having just a bit of insight (eyes wide open) in order to see some pretty obvious relations which compose a certain pattern. I challenge you or anyone else to find in what I have written elements which can be considered of an excluisively subjective nature. I see things that are in the movie-text not in my mind. Should you go on with your personal acts of vandalism I shall duly report it.

Best regards

Z.{{unsigned|Zosar|2007-07-15t08:00:32z}}

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)

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)
