Could you kindly close Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/87th Academy Awards/archive1 and update the 87th Academy Awards's article page and its talk page? I appreciate your help.

- Yeah, I will inform you when I nominate it. Gaga's awards list is already in a pretty good shape. Make sure that every line for introducing awards have reliable sources, and is accurate.

Meaning to. To be honest I don't like to wait for the completion of a film series which take years so most of the time I wait for the whole series to end and watch them all together. The crappy Fifty Shades of Grey is an exception. -- Frankie talk 20:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)

List of accolades received by No Country for Old Men help
editHello again,
Thank you once again for your assistance to bring List of accolades received by The Artist (film) to featured list status. I honestly am grateful for the help especially since I have college classes (but thankful the workload is not hard so far).
With that being said, I understand you are at hard work with other lists such Brad Pitt and Lady Gaga related topics. However, if or when you do have the time, could you please create an infobox summarizing the awards and nominations received by No Country for Old Men at its respective accolades list page and a column listing all the dates for the awards. I honestly do not want to be a bother to your work, but Vivvt are working tirelessly to try to save the list from demotion, and we would appreciate the help. If you are unable to do so, that's absolutely fine. Anyways, please give it some thought and thanks for your contributions, once again.

Friendly note
editI think as best practice, it's generally frowned upon to notify individual editors on their user talk pages to come and comment at a particular WP:FAC.
That is, unless you are specifically notifying them with a neutrally worded message because they had already previously organically come to participate in a level of discussion about that article -- like as the prior GA Reviewer, or at Peer Review.
It is okay, however, to post neutrally worded notices to the talk pages of relevant WikiProjects with a link to the FAC.
Good luck to you,
— Cirt (talk) 20:54, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- I second that! Also, it's better not to expect "favors" by following the QPQ system. I know, your response was made in good faith, but still be more neutral. —Vensatry (ping) 05:07, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- I respectfully disagree. I think when someone comments in your FAC/FLC, you should try to return the "favor" by reviewing their nominations even if they do not ask. Nominations fail most of the time due to lack of activity. -- Frankie talk 07:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC)
- There is absolutely nothing wrong with the QPQ system as such. I was rather suggesting you to keep the requests as neutral as possible. —Vensatry (ping) 08:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Brad Pitt
editWhy did you remove the entire 'Producer' table from the Brad Pitt filmography article? What a silly thing to do, he is a prominent Hollywood producer. You did not seek consensus for this on the article talk page prior to doing so, as you should have. Put the table back immediately and seek consensus before making anymore major changes. - theWOLFchild 10:47, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Well I am sorry if it hurt you. You can do it yourself and also remove that featured star (which indicates that it is one of the best lists) as I didn't gain consensus for making it featured too. -- Frankie talk 10:50, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- "Hurt"...? So you're resorting to childish insults? Grow up. Show me where it was awarded featured status based on the removal of that table. (Featured status doers not mean "perfect", by the way. Articles are always in need of improvement. Case in point... ) And why should I have to do all the work of un-doing your edits? - theWOLFchild 11:11, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- I don't need to "grow up" and I am not going to revert the current version just because you find it "silly". FYI Pitt has starred in most of the films which he has produced so it will be pretty weird to repeat the same films again and again. I am not in the mood of posting some mean words to my fellow editors. You can do whatever you want but don't expect me to restore that version. -- Frankie talk 11:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- You wouldn't be reverting the current version "because I find it silly", you should be reverting because you had no business making major changes without seeking consensus first. Maybe you're new here and didn't realize that, but now you know. You are not the sole arbiter any articles content. You need to realize that this project is a collaborative effort. So, with that said, if you refuse to restore the previous content, I will take that as your tacit admission that you don't give a rat's ass about the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia and you are leaving it to others to clean up your mess. Oh, and as for your comment; " I am not in the mood of posting some mean words to my fellow editors."... maybe you should re-read your first reply here. A completely unnecessary and juvenile insult. The kind of thing an angry teen would say, instead of a mature adult. My suggestion that you 'grow up' was in regards to that. - theWOLFchild 22:37, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

I have already replied that in the talk page of his filmography. And please discuss all these on talk page of filmography not here. Also you're talking about WP guidelines and policies but I don't seem to see that anywhere that supports your statement. It's probably not a good idea to call someone's hard work a "mess". It's a featured list and no one objected it during its FLC. If you feel it is not the right format, I think you should leave it on FLC delegates to decide. -- Frankie talk 07:09, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
re Thanks
editThanks for commenting on my FAC. As you suggested, I consulted a few native English speakers to copy-edit the article. Unfortunately none of them were kind enough to respond. -- Frankie talk 10:54, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear that! I suggest you also try posting neutrally worded notices to talk pages of relevant WikiProjects, and post a request at WP:GOCE, and ask some of your friends who are Category:User en-5 or Category:User en-N but might not be actual Wikipedia editors themselves but just friends in-real-life, to read over the article. Good luck, — Cirt (talk) 10:59, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Frank, I suggest you try and ask User:Corinne to do the job. — Ssven2 Speak 2 me 07:17, 17 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

It's been a month now and nothing is really happening with this list. Vensatry and Dharmadhyaksha also hasn't responded and I was also inactive for a while. It was discussed by them at its FLC about creating a separate table for "Producer" and another one called "Others" (which will include his role as a narrator also). Can you please do that? because i'm not very good with rowspan and other these kind of things. Something like this or this list will do.

Have you checked the winners of 61st Filmfare Awards? It was disappointing like always. I thought Masaan will be the big winner in Crtitics category but, that was entirely given to Piku and Kangana for TWMR. Really? Kagngana? By what means it was a critics performance. It was a mainstream performance and should have stick to the main Best Actress category. On the other hand, Richa Chadha, Kalki and Irrfan were completely ignored. They were not even nominated in main categories. And, they didnt win Critics awards either, which makes not nominating them in main categories a dumb and senseless choice.Krish | Talk 08:58, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- It should have been Akshay Kumar and Irrfan Khan instead of SRK and Ranbir Kapoor for Best Actor category. And it should have been Richa or Kalki winning (or at least nominated in the Best Actress category) the Critics Award. Films like Talvar, Masaan or Dum Laga Ke Haisha should have been the winners of critics awards. Ugh, this year's award was totally unfair. -- Frankie talk 11:21, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- This year was unfair? They are never fair. Remember The Lunchbox and Lootera were not nominated in main categories, and duds like Chennai Express was nominated for Best Film. Nimrat Kaur was not even nominated in Best Actress category, despite giving the best performance by a Female actor that year, along with Sonakhi in Lootera. I still cannot believe Masaan was shut out from the critics category, a crime that wont be forgiven. And, Dum Laga Ke Haisha won in a totally undeserving category- Cinematography? How about Lyrics, Story or whatever? And, Bombay Velvet won for Special Effects, despite no vfx.Krish | Talk 13:18, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- And the worst part is that it is considered the Indian equivalent of the Oscars, when it actually is the Indian version of Kids Choice Awards or something. The only award that deserves this title is National Film Awards. -- Frankie talk 13:49, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, absolutely. It's even worse than Kids Choice Awards. At least there, the winners are selected by actual votes. But, here in the so-called "Oscars of India" are selected by Sirname (Bachchan, Kapoor, Khan, Roashan and so on). If you look, then Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan over takes Merly Streep in terms of "Best Actor nomination" because SRK has over 22 Best Actor nomination alone, and BIG B has over 30 nomination for Best Actor alone. The most of their nominations are for average performances. And, not to forget, they even won eight Best Actor awards and that too for average performances, specially SRK. If the biggest actors are present in Bollywood, then why still they haven't gained the focus of any Hollywood directors? God saves acting then.Krish | Talk 14:27, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Your edit/revert on Salman Khan filmography
editHello. Your revert added unsourced material to the article (see Talk:Salman Khan filmography), thereby violating WP:Burden and WP:Reliable sources. I don't template the regulars, but consider this a Level-2 warning for adding unsourced material (i.e. {{uw-unsourced2}}). Thomas.W talk 19:12, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
January 2016
editYour recent editing history at Salman Khan filmography shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This warning is required by "the system", which is why you get it. The edit-warring has to stop. Thomas.W talk 19:14, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

- It's no Argo. But its a worthy attempt, a well made thriller. First half is breathless, second half falls flat, overall It's a very good film. A perfect film for Republic Day celebrations. Akshay Kumar is Outstanding and Nimrat Kaur is fantastic. Akshay should be nominated for this film and I think he should win the Best Actor next year, though SRK chances are high for Raees, and Fan. But Come on since Leo is getting his due, Indian awards should give Kumar's his.Krish | Talk 05:45, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

editThanks for helping me to change this even thought we had a rough time. My ':)' was for you for helping me but you took it personally and some other editors got involved! Jeez! Wiki guys needs a chill pill. 86.190.207.115 (talk) 19:39, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- @86.190.207.115: I didn't take anything personally. It's just that I have seen IPs in form of trolls and vandals but instead I should have helped you. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like contributing to the encyclopedia. -- Frankie talk 19:47, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- If you say my dear. That's great. Happy wiking 😊 86.190.207.115 (talk) 19:59, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
