Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 20:30, 8 June 2008

Hey, welcome to the Films WikiProject! We're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of films and film characters. If you haven't already, please add {{User WikiProject Films}} to your user page.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Most of our important discussions about the project itself and its related articles take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.

• The project has a monthly newsletter. The newsletter for September has been published. October's issue is currently in production; it will be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There is a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Want to jump right into editing? The style guidelines show things you should include.
• Want to assist in some current backlogs within the project? Visit the Film Tasks template to see how you can help.
• Want to know how good our articles are? Our assessment department has rated the quality of every film article in Misplaced Pages. Check it out!
• Want to collaborate on articles? The Cinema Collaboration of the Week picks an article every week to work on together.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Helpful templates

Just cut an paste them when you need them from this page, I keep them on my user page. The dates are always formatted correctly, just remember to increment the date, as often as possible, as I sometimes forget to do.

Referencing

Thanks. Yes, I wrote it to provide a simple intro for new users, as referencing is essential and the existing pages something of a maze. You can post it on user or article talk pages as {{refstart}} or link to WP:REFB. You might like to watchlist the template and essay talk page to help keep an eye on it. Ty 00:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

The fight against crime

I found a new toy in the Wikifight against vandals.

What do you think??? Oh, maybe you have already seen it...IP4240207xx (talk) 08:54, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I want to see some Doris Day, some flowers, puppies, articles like that popping up on your list, or I'll get worried...IP4240207xx (talk)

I removed the lists, don't need them sitting around cluttering up the talkbox, Peter Frampton. Here was what I was thinking, create a new account, say Wildhartlivietoo and then put all the pages from the vandal you are tracking on the watch list for that account? So, what's her name and all her socks top 15 pages. Then you could just sign in and check the history? IP4240207xx (talk)

Yes, if you run that list on me, half of those articles/edits are reversion of HC+SPs. Just imagine if there wasn't any vandalism? IP4240207xx (talk) 09:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hmmm....

Sorta, yeah. It's like there's no war to fight anymore. It's almost boring now. By the way, I have a question for you, I'll shoot you an email. Pinkadelica 05:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

True, but who else is going to do such detailed research involving kinescopes and interlibrary loans? Pinkadelica 05:55, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing my user page. Don't you just love vandals and their unique sense of originality? Pinkadelica 11:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

The Mickey Mouse Club

I am having trouble with an editor removing information of mine that is sourced and cited very well. They are telling me that an "uninterested" editor needs to publish the information, which makes no sense to me as an "uninterested" editor would have no reason to do so. Zachary Jaydon was a cast member on The Mickey Mouse Club, and I have cited numerous Official, Reliable, Non-Secondary Disney Publications that provide this information clearly. The editor keeps removing the information without taking the time to check the sources, which can be done if a small amount of effort is put into it. I believe that this goes against Wiki policy as well as a major lack of the assumption of good faith. Removing unsourced information is one thing, but when an editor takes the time to make an article more informative and accurate, it's very discouraging. Please help!
