Wikipedia does not include films in filmographies that have not begun filming, per WP:CRYSTAL. Please do not add them, as you have done several times. They will be only be removed, and it adds to the work load for the rest of us. Thank you. Cresix (talk) 14:50, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please stop adding the film until it begins filming

    Please refrain from making edits like this this. May I ask what your reasoning is for doing so? Removing sourced content is not really acceptable on Wikipedia, so unless you have a valid reason (which you should have stated in your edit summary), please do not make an edit like that again. Thank you. Yves (talk) 22:04, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Re: The release date in Ireland in nit as important as the worldwide one. No ne wants to know about that, they want the official worldwide release. Please stop editing unless you have something convicing Thecoolguy4ever (talk) 22:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)thecoolguy4everReply

The release date is sourced and "important", something which is not up to you to decide. How do you know now one wants to know about that? I think it's pretty important to the almost five million people in the Republic of Ireland, who would want to know. For albums on Wikipedia, we use the earliest release date, and for this album, this is the Republic of Ireland. Yves (talk) 22:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Please stop. What you are doing is vandalism, and you may be blocked. Thank you. Yves (talk) 22:30, 15 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

RE: Please, stop. Ireland isn't the only country in the world. If you are going to write the release date in your country, then I should write the release date in mine too, then everybody would write every release date for all the editions in all countries. It's not reasonable, and aside from that, didn't anyone ever tell you that you don't write the release date for any country and that you only write the worldwide release date? (By the way if you think that the Irish release date matters to the five million people in Ireland, believe me it matters much more for the eighty million in Egypt.) Please stop what you are doing, it's considered as vandalisim and you may be blocked from editting. Thecoolguy4ever (talk) 14:49, 16 October 2010 (UTC)thecoolguy4everReply

Please stop. This is why a release history section is added (for example, The Fame Monster was released November 18, 2009 first in Italy and Japan, and that is the date that is used, and Animal was released January 1, 2010 in Denmark and Italy first, and that is the date to be used. Unless you want to be blocked, please do not remove the sourced addition again. Thank you. Yves (talk) 17:54, 16 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
Sorry to butt in here, but Yves is absolutely correct. The earliest release date is always the one that is used. See The Fame Monster as Yves indicated for an example of a chart that will be employed on the page when later releases in other countries are made. Also see I Am…Sasha Fierce for another example. Please respect the guidelines here and stop the disruptive editing, you are already in violation of 3RR from what I can see as you've made three reverted edits for the same thing.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Breaking Dawn cast members in Rio de Janeiro.jpg

Re: The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide

edit

I'm more than happy to help with wording and such, but I haven't read The Guide and so I won't be much help in adding new information. Also just so you know, there is already a section in the Twilight (series) article that mentions controversy (here). Andrea (talk) 02:55, 2 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Re: Twilight (novel)

edit

"In-universe" is writing about fictional events/characters as if they are real, which is how most of your additions were written. There is some good, real-world stuff in there that you got from the Guide, like how Edward's personality is influenced by Meyer's. But most of it was just an extension of the plot summary, and sometimes actually an extension of the series' plot summary. The plot summary should be concise, which means only the key plot points should be mentioned. That doesn't include things like Alice's background, or how Emmett was changed into a vampire, and so forth. They don't affect the plot much, if at all, and that kind of information doesn't add anything that will help a reader understand the novel. Twilight is very strongly centred on Bella and Edward's relationship, as opposed to Harry Potter which creates a much larger world and has more characters who play important roles. Even the Twilight (series) page only has character descriptions for the 3 main characters. More detailed character descriptions are more suitable on the List of Twilight characters page (that's why we have it), though that article has its own set of problems—particularly that it has been tagged as in-universe for quite some time now. Personally, I don't think the Twilight (novel) page needs a "Characters" section at all, since the most important info that you'd need to know about the characters is covered in the plot summary. Edward and Bella both have their own articles for more detailed information. That being said, I'm not entirely against having a few main characters listed there, which is why I didn't remove the section completely (I also left James, since he is the main antagonist). I think the present descriptions should be shortened though—less of the fictional details and more real-world information. Andrea (talk) 05:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think adding "Themes" sections is a great idea. It's not always the easiest to find good, notable sources that discuss them though. That's why the section in the Twilight (series) article is so short, despite it being about all 4 books. I do like what you added to the Breaking Dawn page though. Do you have similar info for the other books? Andrea (talk) 16:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Re: Bella Swan: character background

edit

You're right, there is already a "Concept and creation" section—but that does not mean there should also be a "Character background" section. All you are doing is extending the plot (you should read the first item listed here). Just because the info is verified from other sources does not mean it's not primary information. There is nothing "real-world" about it, which is what would make it not in-universe. A quote from Meyer explaining the plot details does not make it real-world, since she is not explaining why she decided to write the character that way. Andrea (talk) 17:02, 4 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well no, because that would be explaining how one fictional character "influenced" another fictional character. Andrea (talk) 03:05, 5 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
