Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. In reading the article that you contributed, it does not appear to have a neutral-point-of-view as required by Misplaced Pages policy. Can you please revisit the article and make appropriate changes? Also, it would be best if you could cite sources for the information presented in the article. Thanks!

Well, since the 11 May I've "neutralised" the article somewhat, but I don't think it's worth going too far at getting rid of opinions in this area, so I've added some references to back up the views too. I have yet to find an article that argues that sound is unimportant and so it will be difficult to find a "balanced" counter-argument at present.

Dicdef

I was referring to "dicdef" as lingo for dictionary definition. These are always deleted, unless they are expanded to give more information about how it relates to other things, so that it becomes an encyclopedic article. Regards,ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 06:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I still don't see what's so wroing with a dictionary definition as a stub whilst people get time to fill in the information. We can't just put it all in there in a single day but if you delete the stub then there will be no informaton whatsoever. Doesn't Misplaced Pages have the concept of article evolution?

Filmmaking

I noticed you knew a lot about filmmaking. I had started the "filmmaking paper trail" and saw that you had filled some in, even if unknowingly. Just wanted to say thanks and see if you wanted to fill in any more. Kushboy 00:55, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Regional differences

Thanks for your edits to the filmmaking articles! I gather you're probably a working professional in the industry. However, as one myself, I'd like to remind you that not all places (or even types) of filmmaking have the same procedures, and there are often several common variants in usage. Please keep this in mind in the future when possible and add alternate variants rather than deleting ones unfamiliar to you. Thanks again and look forward to your future work! Also, you may want to consider adding the more "how-to"-type articles to instead of placing them on the Misplaced Pages, where they are at risk of being deleted and/or transwikied (see WP:NOT).

Also, I've cleaned up, merged, or redirected a lot of your recent edits. Please take care to check that a topic isn't already covered on the site, and try not to split an article into separate pages for sub-sections unless the article has gotten rather large. As an example, there's no need to create a page each for the sticks and board for the clapperboard - the existing article is more than fine to contain all text regarding the matter at the moment. Thanks again! Girolamo Savonarola 01:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

The Movie Making Manual

I just found this over at Wikibooks. I think you'd like to take a look and contribute. Movie Making Manual Kushboy 04:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Roll number

the following page failed AFD. It will be posted here in case you want to expand it: Each roll of film is uniquely numbered during film production. This roll number is often written on the clapperboard slate. --Mostly Rainy 02:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
