I am getting no help from the page editors on this topic other than copied stock replies. Just that in your opinion, it is wrong. This is a page that has outdated information on there and needs updating. 90.152.1.254 (talk) 14:55, 2 June 2019 (UTC) (talk page watcher) You have been reverted by two experienced editors now, one of whom added "take it to the talk page" to their edit summary. And that's what you need to do when you are reverted - start a discussion on the article talk page (I see you have belatedly started that) and seek a consensus. Do not reinstate your edits until you have that consensus, do not engage in an edit war. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:02, 2 June 2019 (UTC) But it seems that neither editor took the time to check the resource and what it offered the industry. Why is that? 90.152.1.254 (talk) 15:12, 2 June 2019 (UTC) Stop whining, start listening, and seek consensus on the talk page. That is all! Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:22, 2 June 2019 (UTC) Wow! Professional to the last! I am on the talk page smart guy - I have asked a question and received no answer. 90.152.1.254 (talk) 15:30, 2 June 2019 (UTC) That was only about an hour ago, so just wait until you get one! People are volunteers here and have their own lives to live, and they're not here to answer your demands immediately. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:37, 2 June 2019 (UTC) If you take the time and pull your head out, you will see that on that talk page I asked a question and got a reply back that didn't even attempt to answer my question. Don't try and come across all keyboard warrior just because you are an editor. You are here to help so perhaps try that? We spend our time trying to make pages better so you are not the only one volunteering their time. 90.152.1.254 (talk) 15:39, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi Bonadea,

Thanks for your message. Understood. Though I do have independent proof, I will cease to edit the page until the evident dispute can be resolved by another means. My intent was not to create an edit war, and the log of edit comments has value.

Explain yourself on the Tarantino film page

Are you to trying to censor the plot of the film under a copyright violation? We can summarize plots. It doesn't violate a copyright.73.95.138.232 (talk) 18:54, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean - presumably you refer to this edit where I removed a blatant copyright violation and restored the full (uncensored) plot summary. --bonadea contributions talk 18:57, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

There is an obnoxious template on the page that is seemingly asking an admin to remove the plot that is there. Having compared the plot summary that is there now, it doesn't appear to be plagiarized from "Esquire". I was asking why the template you placed on the page? Am I wrong to assume that it is asking an admin to remove the uncensored plot?73.95.138.232 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:00, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Oh, I see. No, that template alerts administrators to the fact that a copyright violation existed in the article's history. Copyvios can have legal ramifications, so those revisions will have to be deleted from the history. The plot description as currently written won't be deleted. --bonadea contributions talk 19:03, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Ah, gotcha now. Sorry for the misunderstanding. That page has been hit by a lot of Sony PR trolls. Guess I have PTSD.lol73.95.138.232 (talk) 19:05, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

No worries! Yes, I know - it's been a bit annoying. The template will hopefully disappear quite soon, as soon as an admin deals with the copyvios. --bonadea contributions talk 19:06, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Personal letter to you

Dear Bonadea:

I am very sorry I have frustrated and irritated you. I deeply am. I am a nice fellow and, by nature, am not pushy or demanding. Nor am I thick-headed. I regret I have come across this way.

The fact is, I have been operating under fear. I have been very afraid of what has been happening to this page. I have held much pride in the page for years and have drawn strength in my writing from the presence of "Wikipedia" page about me.

When a month or so ago I myself uploaded photos and caused a conflict of interest, I broke into panic of what was happening, and this irrational state has continued and caused my frantic messages ever since. I blindly ran past your replies and overlooked the fact you are volunteers - and did not appreciate and respect what that means.

I now see how my replies have come across unwisely and rashly. In particular, by saying "my page," I actually intended to shortcut the longer phrase of "the Wikipedia page about me" - again, a rushed use of language under the wind of desperation and fear of time passing.

I am 56 and feel 76. I don't have children or a spouse or a significant other. My work has made me a recluse--or rather I have let that happen. For the last two years, I have suffered from near-paralysis due to a spinal cord injury. None of this is an excuse for my behavior, but perhaps it offers a little explanation. I do not feel well. I have not felt well for some time while staring into the face of my own mortality and knowing that my best work lies years ahead, years I may not have.

I cannot express enough how much fear has worked against me in our interactions and has worked against you in helping me. I have alienated you when all my life I have been told I am a sweet, unassuming, dear man.

Being afraid is a terrible feeling, and I have let it force my hand in poor judgment.

Please forgive me and allow me the chance to listen and act carefully from now on.

Sincerely,

LankyKeller (talk) 22:46, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

You're a 'Featured Host'

You may have seen this announcement that all the 'Featured Hosts' - whose names and pictures randomly cycle round in the Teahouse Header - have just been updated.

As you are currently one of the 29 most active editors at WP:TH, your name and an image has now replaced that of an inactive host. But because you haven't yet added yourself to the full list of active hosts, I have simply used the default image of a cup of green tea. It would be great if you would now do two things:

• Check or change the 'featured host' image allocated to you. Edit it at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Host/Featured/19, or undo my changes if you don't wish to be 'featured'.
• Create a 'host profile' for yourself, and choose a relevant picture - click the 'Experienced editor?' button in the TH Header to formally sign up to create a separate entry on the full list of all 89 current hosts which new editors can view.

Many thanks, Nick Moyes (talk) 09:53, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Wow, I feel honoured! I'm afraid this coincides with me feeling rather disenchanted with Wikipedia (for several reasons), but Teahouse hosting is still something important to do and I'm happy to stay on the list of hosts until such time as I decide that I'll withdraw from circulation entirely. Thanks, Nick! --bonadea contributions talk 10:28, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
