Why you have redirected my page that was a stub with many problems? Please follow the ITN next time, or the Misplaced Pages News Portal. Thanks! - EugεnS¡m¡on(14) ® 10:21, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Passion (2012 film)‎

I understand the desire not to have three stub tags on the same article, but I believe an exception should be made in the case of Passion (2012 film)‎. The article is definitely a stub, and clearly classified as an erotic thriller, yet the first two stub tags only reference the two countries that produced it. Per WP:STUB, "if an article overlaps several stub categories, more than one template may be used" and "a limit of three or, if really necessary, four stub templates is advised". Therefore, it is perfectly acceptable to place a third stub tag on the article, in order to classify it as an erotic thriller film stub. Fortdj33 (talk) 19:34, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Boston Marathon explosion

Hello, Lugnuts. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Boston Marathon explosion, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Sosthenes12 (talk) 19:34, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi!

I am not entirely sure what you mean by your message. If you are wondering why I proposed your article for deletion, the reason was that yours was one of about 10 articles created about the same topic within just a couple hours. The other articles were more informative than yours at the time so I decided to nominate it for deletion. Looking back, I should have just turned it into a redirect. Sorry for any misunderstanding this caused.

Proposed deletion of Boston Marathon bombings

The article Boston Marathon bombings has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Bal (film)

Have you seen this Turkish film? It's an absolute masterpiece on par with any of Kiarostami's work. The review on imdb sums it up well that the use of imagery to deliver a message with little dialogue works incredibly well. It is a beautifully shot film in rural Turkey, a true art film which deserved to have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film in my opinion.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 11:48, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Did you know

Can you tell me if this sportsman dig got any medals or not, I don´t get it from this , and if he did what was that? Since you created the article, you should be able to help. Hafspajen (talk) 13:50, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

NY times ref/Wallace films

Hi: I took that out as it seemed redundant, given that all the info this source offered was also provided by filmportal...but if you feel more comfortable with it. :-)

Also, I generally see no real point in having inline citations in the lead, when all it is supposed to do is summarize the rest of the article. Often, having footnotes in the lead seems to be a sign that somebody just plugged content into the lead without bothering to put it where it really belongs and verifying whether it contradicts other material in the article. ;-) Drow69 (talk) 14:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Laurence Castner

Uh, we are talking about the same Lawrence Varsi Castner of Castner's Cutthroats fame, correct? Using the presumed notability of a subject to mass-create articles lacking context or useful content just happens to be one of my big complaints about Misplaced Pages. I could easily do the same, but I would rather take the time and do it right. As it stands, articles of this sort lends credence to the notion that Misplaced Pages is more a compendium of possibly notable topics than a proper encyclopedia. RadioKAOS  – Talk to me, Billy 00:38, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Since I had access to a copy, I looked up Tewkesbury's Who's Who in Alaska and Alaska Business Index, published in 1947. From the entry:

CASTNER, Lawrence Varsi, cold storage operator. Born San Francisco, Calif., May 1, 1902, son of Maj. Gen. Joseph C. and Ada A. (White) Castner.

The rest of the entry mentions his graduating from West Point, his exploits in WWII and later business career. Curiously, it says nothing about the 1924 Olympics, which I would presume to be notable enough to mention in even a Who's Who-type capsule biography. I also found a book published in 1984 on Joseph Compton Castner's exploits in Alaska in 1898, which contains a one-page biography at the beginning. Also curiously, this biography omits mention of his son. This despite the fact that it was written, edited and published under the supervision of professional, scholarly historians in Alaska, who certainly knew full well of the significance that Lawrence Castner has to Alaska.

Carl Brisson

I undid your edit to Carl Brisson because there is no such category. Were you planning on creating this category? (Makes sense, there are a lot of other sub-category nationalities.) If you do, just revert my edit. All the best, 78.26 (I'm no IP, talk to me!) 14:57, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Citizen Kane

This film is pretty overrated isn't it? Its pretty good but doesn't even come close to the best films I've seen. The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit is an excellent film by comparison.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:31, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Bal is very minimalist and would be too plain for some people but I think that works to the films advantage. The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit I thought was an outstanding film with a terrific performance by Jennifer Jones in particular. Citizen Kane yeah I don't get the hype. It has some brilliant, charming moments but I think its very overrated overall. From the early 40s era I prefer Casablanca or the Maltese Falcon.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 12:44, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk Page Stalker Alert! Ha! I am scum! Gobi Desert perhaps and if you haven't seen this Danish one yet, well, don't read the WP entry and spoil it for yourself, it couldn't be more "different". Hillbillyholiday 12:51, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Most of the critics disagree with me but the Crowther review agrees with me in that I thought it was a touching film. I agree with it being a bit too long though, the scenes involving the eloping daughter were too long but overall I thought it was very good and certainly well above being "mediocre" as one critic put it.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:01, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

I saw the Twilight Saga Eclipse a week or two ago and no kidding it was one the most appalling pieces of tosh I've ever seen! I saw My Sister Eileen (1955 film) the other day and that film irritates the hell out of me too, saved only by Janet Leigh's tight top...♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 13:07, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Templates

Hi there. I'm just here to ask that you not remove {{aviation lists}} from aircraft type articles, as it is long-standing consensus that aircraft type articles contain that navbox at the bottom of the article. If that's inappropriate it needs to be discussed to establish a new consensus, instead of having the template randomly removed here and there. Thanks. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:23, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Blue is the Warmest Colour

Lol that's a cool message sent out to those who leave messages, wonder how it's done...

I was wondering, do you know if there is a way to make browsers aware that the comic book does have a Misplaced Pages article in French? It seems notable for finding information about the background of it. I'll just theft a source from there regarding the date I s'pose. Ranze (talk) 18:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Christoph Schaub

Hello Lugnuts,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Christoph Schaub for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Bruno Russell (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Christoph Schaub

Hi, I'm Bruno Russell. Lugnuts, thanks for creating Christoph Schaub!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. To not be deleted, more reliable sources required.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Bruno Russell (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Two things

Hey Lugnuts, I came here to let you know that I've deleted a redirect you created, Death of Nelson Mandela. An anon had recently changed it to an article stating that he had died. I found no evidence of this, and I thought that it was a bit problematic from a BLP standpoint to have a "Death of" redirect for a person who is still alive, so I deleted it rather than restoring the redirect.

Also, I just noticed your talk page edit notice. I get the reference (great movie, and unbelievable performance by Ermey), but I'm worried that most users won't get the reference and will be pretty put off by it. I'm hoping you will consider changing it, but I'll leave that to you. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:37, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
