	Hi, Ring Cinema. I got the move reverted on the grounds that it was not uncontroversial, so it is back to status quo for the time being.

	==Eva and The White Ribbon==

	I think on reflecion that Eva and the schoolmaster are a critical element of the movie's meaning. They are completely "normal" people who fall in love in an innocent way with apparently normal backgrounds and solid ethics. While there are other potentially sympathetic characters, everyone else ranges from dysfunctional to evil. Eva's family is important to a story full of sexual and psychological abuse by parents. Her father genuinely cares about her and the entire scenario I believe is meant to reflect what is good about people - why we do not all live in the insane village (or to raise the question of wheter we do).

	Also I believe the order of events is important but a thoroughly character-based summary is appropriate. What is omitted or never solved all has meaning - not that we should interpret this for the reader, but the movie is obviosly not accidental. It is quite meticulous. Two more pennies worth of opinion on it... ] (]) 03:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

	Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, it is true that Eva and her family can be viewed as a foil to the villagers. I might differ with you about that, though. One way to take her father is as a token of the same patriarchy or authoritarian impulse that distorts the values elsewhere. This turns on how reasonable one views his exercise of parental discretion. And then we are presented with the question of the value of romantic love. We are habituated to the elevation of personal romantic attachments above all, but this, too, is a value that deserves examination. I'm not sure if Haneke is trying to present that as a problem or not. I think that part of the power of the film is in the paradox that, although it is obvious that society is replete with problems of incipient hostility, violence, objectification, denial, etc, there is finally nothing unusual about this village. It is typical and typically perverse. Is Eva and her family an exception or the rule? I'm not sure, although it is easy to see the schoolmaster's willingness to help others as reflective of the fellow feeling that I personally find is the essence of morality. --] (]) 04:43, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

	== No Country ==

	Hi,

	I think that where the main characters live is not an unnecessary detail. If not well put or introduced in the plot or elsewhere in the article, I might suggest to place it at what appears to you as a ''pertinent position'', but not basically reverse/omit the fact. Thx--] (]) 18:06, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

	:Right, well, my thinking is that it is incidental because nothing in the story depends on it. We establish the setting, but in a different way from naming a place that is obscure anyway. Maybe you are right, though. Admittedly, this is a problem area. I am thinking about it. --] (]) 18:19, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

	::Check footnote 6. That covers it well enough? --] (]) 18:41, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
	:::I haven't noticed it was already mentionned with the footnote, to be honnest. Thus seems ok eventhough it can be clearly notified in the text too. Considering some additionnal precisions, when you make a pause on the film at the scene of the phone bill (when Chighur enters the trailer), you can see that the days in which the action takes place are between the June 3rd/4th to June 6th since the last call registered on the bill is passed on June 3rd probably a friday, since the bill arrived in the mail box on monday morning, probably the 6th. You may mention day period too, up to you. Cheers.--] (]) 23:44, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

	* Heavily pregnant Connie answers the phone to a female who says, "Tell Carlo, I can't see him tonight>"
	* She tells him that his dinner is ready. He says that he doesn't want it.
	* Fearsome row ensues ... Connie smashes crockery ... he gives her a dreadful beating.
	* Carlo leaves. Connie telephones. Sonny, wild with temper, races off alone ...

	* Must be a set up: Ambush waiting at the toll booth.

	== The Godfather Effect ==

	I'm a little uncomfortable with so much emphasis given to one book and one aspect. Many people have said a lot of insightful things about this film, and the conclusion that ethnicities in America rediscovered themselves in the aftermath of this film seems to require some empirical support. Coppola saw the film as a general indictment of American culture (as it implies) and that is more easily supported. Since America has always had strong ethnic identification among its polity, it is somewhat more difficult to make the case that, say, Irish-Americans took The Godfather to heart and realized they felt a bit of the shamrock. When did they not? So, do we strike the right balance? I am undecided. --] (]) 14:25, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

	Hi Ring Cinema, I reverted your edit on ] because if we add the time span (1976-83) the article contradicts itself (the main part of the story is set in 1974-75).

I've found 7 things calling it all the countries. Thanks for calling me a bully when I'm standing up for written citations and you are still soapboxing about Italian based Korean productions or something. ] (]) 02:09, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	::::::::::::Sorry, A, they are errors. Some people can read "The film is Austrian" and understand the film is Austrian. Then there's you. But I want to thank you again for making it obvious how out in right field you are with this. If your position requires you to call The White Ribbon a French film... well, I mentioned this to a friend the other day who works in film, and he laughed pretty hard. --] (]) 02:23, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

	Northern Lights, let me remind you that I asked you twice how I should deal with editors like Lugnuts and A who are putting incorrect information in Misplaced Pages. And this is your response? Trying to pretend you can threaten me? Issuing threats like you're someone I should respect? No, you're not judging me. I am judging you. So far, you appear to be an unfortunate martinet who has been given too much authority. But of course you won't agree with that because martinets deny it to themselves. Don't let it bother you! Anyway, your unfortunate errors will soon be forgotten. In the meantime, if you want to do something useful, answer my questions. What procedure do you recommend when other editors (i.e. Lugnuts and Andzjbanas) edit without consensus, accuse others of edit warring when they are edit warring themselves, and pretend there is no evidence in front of them when it has been pointed out repeatedly? Is there a procedure for that situation? I know you love the chance to issue empty threats, but I'm actually more focused on improving the encyclopedia. Any suggestions? --] (]) 07:03, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	:Yes, actually. I suggest you act like you're interested in ''collaboration'' instead of talking about how it's ]. If you're the only one who feels the need to fight for something, you should perhaps think about ''why'' you might be the only person feeling that need. And finally, I'm not issuing empty threats; ] is a policy, as is ]. ] (]) 07:13, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	::I violated no policy, including civility. The distinction between my actions and Andrzejbanas's are exactly zero, except that according to the policy on consensus, they should have waited for the discussion before making changes. So, thanks to your mistake, that policy stands violated. And still you have no suggestion to deal with the problem of the editors who can't command a consensus but want to make changes anyway. Three times I've asked. What would you like to do to correct that? --] (]) 07:23, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	:::If you seriously can't see the problem with your comment to Andrzej, I really can't help you. ] (]) 16:33, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	::::Without being rude it does seem like The Blade of the Northern Lights may be suffering from some ] issues. If what Ring Cinema said qualifies as a block-worthy personal attack there would be a great many editors blocked. How hard is to understand why Ring Cinema finds bizarre the push to label films by countries which no reasonable person would attribute them to. It's at least an honest dispute. I think he may be completely right. This is probably baiting, POV pushing, etc. by the editors desiring to tag a movie with every conceivable country of origin. Speculating why there is such a push would not be assuming good faith, but it is very strange. Saying someone is "pretty far in out in right field" and that some friend of Ring Cinema's laughed at the notion this should be labeled a French film is not a personal attack, it is a direct comment on the content and behaviors. Editors do this routinely and complaints about it are always ignored - as long as the perpetrators have the right administrators backing them I guess. ] (]) 18:35, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

	:::::::I appreciate the kind words. There's quite a contrast between the nitpicking about me and the serial violations of policy and guidelines that I was responding to originally. No doubt he should have treated Lugnuts and Andzj the same as me, since there is not a dime's worth of difference between us. I think Northern Lights objected to my comment because it makes it hard to continue the fiction that he backed the right horse. In other words, he took it personally. But at the same time I appreciate his sentiments, as they are not of themselves wrongheaded. I am focused on improving the reference, so let's try to do that. Thanks again. --] (]) 19:29, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	Amatulic, if you don't want to be helpful, why are you commenting here? Did you want to be reminded me of the time you blocked me when I was involved with editors who claimed a consensus when they were in the minority? Far from your most perceptive moment (to give you the benefit of the doubt). Or are you more interested in reliving the time you blocked me for only 2 reverts for some reason? Maybe you were proud of that ridiculous action, but it made it clear that you're a bit off in some way. Now here you are again, saying nothing useful and making a show of your hostility toward me. Okay, you are hostile and everyone can see it. I think you should know that I have a very low opinion of your competence and if you stick your nose in I am happy to go over your obvious mistakes every time. Does it interest you? We can discuss your serial failings or you can go away until you can make a positive contribution to Misplaced Pages. --] (]) 19:57, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
	:I have no hostility toward you. In fact I recall supporting you in a past discussion elsewhere once, and even protested to the blocking admin when your talk page access got revoked. Anyway, my comments to you have always been civil, yet for some reason you feel the need to hurl insults every chance you get. But if it makes you feel good, by all means, have at it. I don't really care. Someone else might care about your repeated violations of ] and revoke your talk page access yet again. If you have a problem with any admin, fulminating about it on your talk page won't get anywhere. As I stated earlier, ] is the place to air your grievances. ~] <small>(])</small> 22:59, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

happy birthday transcript

Patty Hill's 1935 deposition Deposition De Bene Esse 7-8 in Hill v. Harris, No. E 78-350, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Examination of Miss Patty S. Hill by Mr. Malcolm B. Stark).

A. . . . while only the words “Good Morning to All” were put in the book we used it for “Good-bye to you”, “Happy Journey to You”, “Happy Christmas to You” and “Happy New Year to You”, Happy Vacation to You” and so forth and so on. Q. Did you also use the words “Happy Birthday to You”. A. We certainly did with every birthday celebration in the school. Q. Did you write the words for this particular tune of “Good Morning To All,” Miss Hill? A. I did. Q. Had you at that time also written many other verses in conjunction with the words which appear in the edition of “Song Stories for the Kindergarten”, published in 1893. A. Yes, we were writing them practically every day.150

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Sleuth/Deathtrap Dispute Resolution Noticeboard discussion

August 2015

You have been blocked from editing for a period of one month for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. ] ♠ 00:18, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Another idiot admin who doesn't know the policy of Misplaced Pages. Good job, Swarm, you stupidly blocked me for returning the page to the last consensus. That's what we're supposed to do in the case of a content dispute. Yes, I know, that is so hard to learn! Another moron example of how admins are the sickness of Misplaced Pages. --Ring Cinema (talk) 02:52, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Ring Cinema (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Swarm very stupidly failed to follow policy. While that is a very common problem with admins, this is an obvious case. Good editors like me don't have time to waste with morons like Swarm. I expect an apology and a prompt reversal.

Decline reason:

Due to personal attacks, your block has been extended indefinitely. Max Semenik (talk) 04:07, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Due to your stupidity, you are banned from having an opinion. LOL. Let's be clear, pea brain: I create value on Misplaced Pages and I've done that for years. Moron admins like you are afraid of your shadows because you are told the truth. Okay, so you all are the disease of Misplaced Pages. You are ruining WP because of your incompetence. All right, now you know. Now lift my block and stop proving you're over your head with a thimble of power. I expect you to correct your stupid error by the end of the day. --Ring Cinema (talk) 12:28, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

--Ring Cinema (talk) 03:55, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

(block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • abuse filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If you have already appealed to the Unblock Ticket Request System and been declined you may appeal to the Arbitration Committee's Ban Appeals Subcommittee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
