Misplaced Pages

Welcome to my Talk page. Please note the following- I may not respond to any un-civil comments left here; in fact, I may summarily delete them. If you don't trust yourself to speak civilly, please feel free to chill out for a bit, and come back here when you feel you can speak to me civilly. You may wish to consider whether a discussion would be more productive at a specific article's Talk page, where other editors will more easily be able to view the conversation and offer feedback. Before starting a thread to discuss any removals of unsourced material from articles, please review WP:V and WP:BURDEN. I will expect any discussions to take those policies into consideration. Also, please note that I have already been the subject of an ANI discussion regarding my removal of uncited material; I will expect any discussions of such here to go beyond what was raised during that discussion. Please be aware that just because something is handled a certain way elsewhere on Misplaced Pages does not mean it is okay for it to be repeated; it is possible the matter was handled improperly at the location being used as a precedent. For more information, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Thank you for your consideration and civility!

The Bourne Identity

Hi, I just wanted to say that I re-added the note on The Bourne Identity with proper citation. Apologies for the oversight. TheAlderaanian (talk) 13:40, July 9, 2024 (UTC)

No problem! You might want to look at the article text as well (I'm about to step away from my PC for a bit, but if you'd rather I take a look, reply here); I think it mentions the same info you added, but it's worded differently and potentially inconsistently to what you added. Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doniago (talk • contribs) 13:51, July 9, 2024 (UTC)

The Mask Of Zorro

Just want to express a sincere thanks in helping me to defend "The Mask Of Zorro" from IP Hoppers. Keep in mind, this particular person opens up a new place to make an attempt to revert to the same old edit.

Evidence: "The Deep But Unrequited Love" part I dislike, that shows it's the same guy.

Either way, thanks for keeping an eye on it. Maxcardun (talk) 21:24, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome! If at any point you feel it's become particualrly bad again, you're welcome to reach out to the admin who previously assisted us at the Talk page, ideally by WP:PINGing them there. DonIago (talk) 04:17, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Don't Dream It's Over

Hello. I apologize that I didn't properly cite my addition to the page for Don't Dream It's Over saying that it was used in The Perks of Being a Wallflower and Adventureland. As you can tell, I'm new to editing Misplaced Pages. My resources for my contribution were having seen the films themselves (which I can't cite). Do you have any suggestions on what resources I could cite regarding soundtracks? Thanks Mason Marsh (talk) 02:43, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

It's less a matter of that than that you need a source that discusses the use of the songs in their respective films, as discussed at WP:IPCV. Whille it's okay to mention in the articles for the films that the songs are used as part of the soundtrack, that doesn't inherently make their usage important to the song itself. I'm sorry if I'm being a little terse here, I'm a bit time-limited right now, but happy to discuss this further if the linked information doesn't sufficiently address any concerns you might have! DonIago (talk) 02:53, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help. Mason Marsh (talk) 03:06, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

Reverted edit on Monopoly

Hi there. You reverted my recent grammar correction edit on Monopoly (game), but I believe you have made a mistake. Here is the sentence in question, where I wanted to change "created" to "create": "In 1941, the British Secret Intelligence Service had John Waddington Ltd., the licensed manufacturer of the game in the United Kingdom, created a special edition for World War II prisoners of war held by the Nazis."

The error may be easier to see without the clause describing the manufacturer: "In 1941, the British Secret Intelligence Service had John Waddington Ltd. created a special edition for World War II prisoners of war held by the Nazis."

They had someone create the game for them.

If the wording still seems confusing with my correction, perhaps "had...create" could be replaced with "hired...to create" or "asked...to create."

Let me know what you think.

Best, FrogUnderALilyPad (talk) 02:43, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Nevermind, I now see that someone else has undone your reversion. Take care. FrogUnderALilyPad (talk) 02:51, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Copy edit error

Actually you made the error here, but great job for fixing it, and also getting those discussions going. There is a bit of a concern with the LLM style responses. TiggerJay (talk) 05:52, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

What really jumped out at me was the whole idea that an editor with an account less than a week old and with fewer than 100 edits would be closing discussions in the first place. I'm all for boldness, but there's boldness and then there's overreaching. DonIago (talk) 07:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Well yeah, that is the much larger concern... overreaching with borderline recklessness -- again just from being such a new contributor. My first though was a sock, but there isn't much support for that, so its not likely. They also could have been a long time IP contributor. But regardless of the reason, certainly something worth review. TiggerJay (talk) 21:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

They appear to have indicated on their Talk page that they have previously edited as an IP, though that could mean anything from 'I made a couple of edits as an IP' to 'I frequently edited as an IP'. I think it might benefit them to disclose the IP address, especially if they intend to continue dealing with arguably 'big ticket' items such as non-SNOW closures, but I don't think there's any requirement that they do so. But if they can't or won't establish that they have significant experience with WP, I don't think they can blame anyone for remaining dubious of them if/when they do engage in closures and such. Obviously, if they contine to frequently edit as an IP, especially in relation to their edits as a non-IP editor, that's a different kettle of fish. DonIago (talk) 01:47, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Oh, and there was just an ANI discussion about them. I'm going to kind of hope I don't have future interactions with them for the time-being. DonIago (talk) 01:59, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Oh yes, it just keeps getting better... in the sarcastic sense of the term. Looks like CNC has offered an olive branch in the terms of mentorship, which I really hope is productive. TiggerJay (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Hope for the best; plan for the worst. DonIago (talk) 19:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Ark of the Covenant

I saw your rollback of a recent edit made by a new editor to Ark of the Covenant, asking them to seek consensus on the talk page first. Since they are a new account with only one edit it's fairly unlikely they understand how to engage in the consensus process, but did you personally have a specific objection to the edit? Normally I would consider edits like that to have an assumed silent consensus under WP:BRD unless someone reverts with an objection. I know I personally saw that edit, weighed the pros and cons, and decided to let it stand. I'm happy to start a thread on the talk page and give my thoughts on the merits of the change if you like, but if you don't have a specific objection yourself shouldn't their WP:Bold edit and the silent assent of myself and other watchers be considered consensus? -- LWG 02:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

If you look at the edit history for the article, you can see that in the past other IP editors (but no logged in editors) have also removed "purported"; when I've reverted that removal, I've never been challenged, so it can just as easily be argued that the silent asset of watchers is that "purported" does belong in the article. You're welcome to start a discussion on the Talk page if you feel otherwise. Personally I also think it's reasonable to have "purported" in the lead, but I'm not a subject matter expert.
