| : Hi again. I think that your proposal is quite reasonable and well thought out and I thank you for the time that you took in coming up with it. If all of those items can be met then there is little problem with the additions though I am not sure how encyclopedic the entire idea becomes when it is only one critics view of the film that are being expressed, but I am happy to leave it at that. I am a bit worried about this editor in general because a perusal of their edit history shows a great deal of personal opinion about the subjects where they are editing. All of this is great stuff at a blog but a little dicey here. I made some of the same kind of mistakes when I first started editing here (though I wasn't into name calling the way this editor is) so I will keep my fingers crossed that they learn from this situation and become a valuable contibuter. Thanks again for your time and take care. ] | ] 20:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::Just a few things that have come to mind in the last day or so, and be aware that I don't want any of them to change the work that you are doing with Zosar, I just throw them out as food for thought. I think that it should be noted that citing just one film critic/historian is a dodgy thing in an encyclopedia that is trying to maintain NPOV. In the case of criticism there is no better example than Kubrick. Most of his films received harsh reviews, by some, at the time of their release while later assessments found them to be cinematic masterpieces (this is a general statement and does not apply to all reviewers). When it comes to film historians reading various items into the film (ie philosophy, style, deeper meanings, reflections on the human condition etc etc) it is always important to keep in mind that this is just one persons view. Others will have entirely different interpretations. In my case their were certain things that I read into Kubrick films when I was in my twenties that, when I look back on them today, I realize had as much to say about me at that age as they had to say about Stanley's films. I think that the dilemma with only having Ciment's and, thus, Zosar's interpretations of the film on wikipedia's page is that it might (not will as I am not at all prescient in anything) tend to make a reader feel that this is the only way to interpret what they will see/have seen when they watch this film. This is one of the main reasons that I feel that Zosar would be much happier writing at a Kubrick blog or forum page. I hope that your work in trying to get this editor to make their edits more encyclopedic is appreciated as I can think of certain editors/admins here at wikiP who would continue to take all of it out. I also thank you from stopping me from being that kind of editor. Keep up the good work and cheers. :~) ] | ] 20:03, 16 July 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hello again Jeandré. It looks as though Zosar has little or no intention of supplying the requested info. Should we at least slap a "original research" tag on the section the he has added if we aren't going to remove it? Another film that is on my watchlist is ]. Today a whole raft of edits that are full of original research and POV have been added by ]. My inclination is to remove the Analysis section and tone down the POV but rather than start an edit war I thought that I would ask that if you have the time and the inclination to take a look at them and see if you can apply some of the same reasoning with this editor that you did with Zosar would you please do so. If you are too busy I will understand but if you can give some time to this it will be much appreciated. ] | ] 19:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Re . | |||
| :Hi Jeandré du Toit. I changed the code in the Ubuntu template because when I first accessed the page, the text in the Userbox said "Template:User OS Ubuntu no logo uses ubuntu" - Now that struck me as being a little bit wierd, in that the <nowiki>{{Basepagename}}</nowiki> attribute was causing it to display its own pagename as a user of Ubuntu as it included the template! All I did was took out the <nowiki>{{Basepagename}}</nowiki> attribute and left it as "This user" which makes sense, and matches what most of the other Userboxes and templates look like. I suppose it was just an attempt to standardise it a bit and stop it from looking strange. Regards, ] 13:03, 9 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Re | |||
| :Hi there. I see you have changed the 'website' for the Apollo Theatre back to www.apollo-theatre.co.uk and I thought I should talk to you before changing it again. I do not think that it is right that apollo-theatre.co.uk should be in the info box as it is a url owned by a secondary ticket agent and whilst it does contain an amount of information for the theatre it is not 'official' and it's primary purpose is to sell tickets (& why promote that agent above above any of the others??). It does seem that the only reason it is in there is because it has a url which is like the theatres name. I do think that an info box should if possible point to an 'official' page - i.e. one owned and maintained by the venue itself and therefore my suggestion would be that it should point to http://www.nimaxtheatres.com/apollotheatre.asp which has as much, if not more, information as the ticket agent site and is also the theatre's 'official' web page. What do you think? I do agree by the way that pointing at the main Nimax home page was not ideal. Kind regards, • ] • 17:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC) | |||

These results, as can be seen on page, give the legal status of the city. That's what the {{GR|2}} tag is for: a way to tell the user how to find the information. Because the introductions to articles such as Vandalia are based directly upon official governmental records, the only way that a properly worded intro can be wrong is if the governmental source is wrong. This is the way that it is for the thousands of incorporated places throughout the United States.
