Thanks for looking into the changes made to this page. You would not believe the strife that has been on the Amazon.com entry for this film. I guess it is a lightening rod for those with rather extreme views. Bill Pollard (talk) 22:10, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
I wonder what would happen to Merv if someone added the British Empire Wikiproject banner to the United States article? I bet he would spontaneously combust! Betty Logan (talk) 18:36, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm just annoyed it went on so long, there should be an easier way to add someone to the noticeboard without having to write out a big chunk of text and hunt down all the evidence. At least we get a week break, short of him sock puppeting. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 03:08, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Added my piece. Betty, there is one of those? Can we find one that says he has been defeated by the British empire? I should note that that comment is just banter and not intended to be taken seriously. MisterShiney✉18:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Please take care not to engage in edit warring. Neither version is a "bad" version, so it's not necessary to be so forceful about it, especially if we're discussing the possibility of AfD. Erik (talk | contribs) 16:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Aye. Wasnt going to. Just think this is an issue that unless there is a clear policy on it then we should just leave it blank. MisterShiney✉16:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
May I have your opinion?
User VasOling on The Dark Knight Rises article insists on saying it received "a warm critical response" in the lede. And that it received positive reviews from "most" critics. I believe this is against practice on most film articles, as "most" is arguably incorrect. Eng Misplaced Pages has its systemic bias; most contributors are people from Western civilization educated enough to speak English, and so are English sources used. We don't know what critics outside this group say. I want to wrap this up as soon as possible. I'm starting a talk page discussion as we speak, but he has a history of edit warring, so I'm not sure if he's going to listen. I've reverted him once already. Anthonydraco (talk) 03:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Not a problem: I wasn't fishing for support, but for an honest opinion, which is exactly what you've given. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 15:59, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps you should have read the talk page or reviewed MOS:FILM before reverting an edit without any comment. Your edit is unconstructive and a violation of established policy. 99.192.51.30 (talk) 22:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
As is your edit warring behaviour. I strongly suggest and recommend that you get yourself an account and provide more detailed summaries rather than being generic and saying something is "Not debatable" which says that you aren't willing to discuss with other editors who are asking you to follow WP:BRD. It take's less than 5 minutes to start a topic on the talk page and leave a message and explaining in more depth your reason for a change.
I reverted your change because you had already expressed no interest in talking to other editors on the said talk page and I was in support as per BRD, discussing the removal first.
Not that it is any of your business though, I was on my phone at the time and pressed the wrong button that sent the change before I could write an edit summary.
So, you are a Smallville fan, yet don't know that the show is now continued in a comic book series written by one of the show's writers? Then you missed great stuff of what is happening to Clark, Lex, Chloe, Oliver, Tess, etc. Not to mention, Batman finally appears to the series.--NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:26, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Not quite sure how to take that. So I will take it how I hope it was intended. I had heard that something was going on with the comics, but not entirely convinced that it deserves a place on the TV series article other than a brief mention of its relevance. I feel it should have a page of its own. MisterShiney✉22:52, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
"Occasionally, the question is raised about the copyright status of press releases. While press releases are by nature intended to be reproduced widely, there is no inherent permission to alter them or create derivative works based on them, or to use them for commercial purposes. Accordingly, press releases are handled like other copyrighted content. In the absence of explicit disclaimer or permission, these may not be freely reproduced."
I believe Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste will cover that with "Always write the articles in your own words and cite the sources of the article." which is on my first thing to do list tomorrow as soon as I have some sleep. You will find that a lot of up and coming Movies have official summaries in to provide substance for the article. It is up to the editors to rewrite/word them etc. As in the case of Superman (film), Warm Bodies (film), After Earth and The Wolverine (film) Where I see them, I rewrite them in own words so they cannot be accused of copy vio. It's standard practice for any summary for TV Series/Films. It's just in this instance I have added it first as it is a fairly new article. Please continue this conversation on the Article Talk Page so other editors can contribute. I shall take the liberty of transferring your comments there. MisterShiney✉23:06, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm not going to block you myself per WP:INVOLVED, but you if you continue to restore copyrighted material without providing evidence that it is either not covered by our policy, I will file a report at WP:AIV. WP:BRD does not take precedence over WP:COPYRIGHT policy. OhNoitsJamie23:22, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for rewriting the summary (I only saw that after I posted the prior warning). Having been around for many years, I can say with certainty that copyright policy is taken quite seriously here. OhNoitsJamie23:24, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
You're welcome. I know. I also take it seriously and go around new movie articles to rewrite them. It was always my intention to rewrite it, I just didnt really have the time this evening (stupid job!), so I put it there to change it either in the morning, or for another editor to change over night. Anyways, see you around. MisterShiney✉23:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
A very kind gesture, and much appreciated. I'm glad we could disagree on a bit of text phrasing and still work with mutual respect — that's what it's all about. And for the record, I agree with you that the closing admin might have been too narrow in his thinking. What I'm basically seeing is two editors who were insistent about rigidity to a guideline that, in this case, flies in the face of reason. And the fact that those of us who feel differently are taking it in good stride and in perspective makes me, nonetheless, continue to feel proud to be part of this community, a community that, I think, has been maturing over the last couple of years in particular. It is good to be working with you, and I look forward to collaborating again in the future! --Tenebrae (talk) 14:46, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
What they said -- Thanks for the barnstar! It sometimes seems like I'm developing a habit of sticking my head into disputes involving individual letters. Evanh200823:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for that. Have a cookie! --Rusted AutoParts (talk) 10 January 2013 (UTC)
If you felt the need to bring up the loss of Rand's ability to use the one power should you not also have added the power he had gained? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.248.201.45 (talk) 23:45, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Not my decision to make. Other editors have deemed it not necessary. If you feel it is needed, then please start a discussion on the Article Talk Page so a consensus re this material and be made. Many thanks for stopping by. MisterShiney✉00:44, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the Barnstar, I have to be honest and say that it came as a welcome surprise since I had been feeling a little down on account of the fact that it seems like its been forever since someone awarded me one :) As to the discussion, I am sorry to see that the proposed move of Star Trek into Darkness descended into darkness, but as the Narada demonstrated in the reboot there is always a light at the end of the black hole ;) Take care, and although it's a little late, Happy New YEar all the same. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Many thanks for stepping in this morning and patiently explaining policies, ethos and background—it's very much appreciated! SchroCat (talk) 11:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
(S)He appears to have rebooted the modem and has walked away from the prior anonymous IP of 202.81.242.188 and into a new one, new one, 202.81.242.51. I only caught it because the anon is following my edits rather closely. I'll let you know if the user becomes problematic again. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:56, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm 99.9% sure you intended to put your !vote in the subsequent section, so I moved it for you. Feel free to move it back if I'm wrong. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie18:01, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, since most of your edits are undos, I have not granted you AWB yet. Instead I have given you the rollback access. This is for things like vandalism or section blanking. Read WP:Rollback too see where to use it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:27, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
For AWB I like to see over 400 edits that are improving spelling grammar, categories, references, that sort of activity. You will prbably get there eventually so apply again when you have clocked up more "constructive" edits, rather than ones that just return the article to how it was before. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:59, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited White House Down, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jason Clarke (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
If I see you violating policy I will post the appropriate messages on your talk page. It is only fair to give you sufficient warning. If you are disputing these warnings then I strongly urge you to make a report on the relevant admin board. MisterShiney✉23:43, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Revolution - Steam Power
Thanks for the heads-up re: the tv series Revolution. I had already decided from episode one that I won't be watching it but out of curioisty I wondered why they had no steam power.
My understanding is that the earliest of cars didn't require electricity either (having hand cranks for the engine).
This improbable lack of use lead me to give up on that series after one episode... given that the US has high education standards there would be enough people around to know how to operate these.
Perhaps, but given all the militia wars and all the problems about farming and as Aaron said in the first episode, we had lost all the skills to survive. It does get better and worth a watch. In it's defence, it is Science Fiction, emphasis on Fiction. It's not meant to be realistic. MisterShiney✉21:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I had the same problem with The Walking Dead - if I accept a premise of a world full of zombies I didn't understand why the deputy would walk about with a single six-shot revolve (he had a shot-gun, but he kept that in the car's boot/trunk).
In a nation of high gun-ownership I would have expected he'd have several guns on him at the same time. Even the camp outside Atlanta, they had a single man with a shotgun on only one of the caravans/trailers who wouldn’t have been able to see the whole perimeter… and other people in the camp didn’t have guns.
But with ‘’Revolution’’, if I accept the premise of a world without electrical power it made no sense that an 'expert at death' as the ex-Marine uncle was would be an expert with swords... although he's had 15 years to learn and practice, he would stand-out.
I also found the confrontation in the village at the beginning illogical where people with farm implements would have pressed against the militia - and one just knew that the father was going to die - of course his son would completely ignore him and not put the weapon down even though the father was in the direct line of fire. The rebellious teen seems to have carried on into this post modern world. Even the daughter was stereotypical in that regards... selfish and strong-willed.
I found the writing poor. The only thing I liked was the doctor with the poison whiskey bottle - a very clever idea, and unexpected to me the viewer.
I am glad you enjoy it. Perhaps it's going to go into further seasons???
I put up with two seasons of ‘’Lost’’ and, ‘’Lost Girl’’ before abandoning them. I still like ‘’Fringe’’.
Fringe is awesome! One of the best Sci-Fi series for a long time. Im halfway through season 3 at the moment. Yes there were several stereotypes in the opening episode, but sometimes you just need to look past it all lol. Its one of those lazy sunday afternoon shows. Like Fast Food, you know it's not good for you, but you eat/watch it anyways and you feel guilty because on some level you liked it. Make sense? MisterShiney✉22:54, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I like Fringe very much myself. The last season not so much, but everything up to then. Thanks for the kind words, by the way. As I recall, you and I have disagreed respectfully and collegially and worked together for the betterment of Misplaced Pages regardless. This other discussion is so dismaying. Ah, well. --Tenebrae (talk) 01:02, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
