[edit] WP Screenwriters

Hey, thanks for joining Wikiproject Screenwriters. You made some good contributions to the Bruno Heller article. I changed the collaboration to David Mamet. This project will probably have a slow start but I hope it's a good focal point for Screenwriting-related stuff.-BiancaOfHell 22:52, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Skip Bayless

I have looked at the the small revert war you have, and I think you are correct. I an not as familiar with Bayless as I am with Mariotti (I am a White Sox fan). I have added it to my watchlist and will monitor it and take action if this continues. --rogerd 04:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children of Men edits

Hey, thanks for contributing to Children of Men/Talk. I know it's pretty contentious there, and I am sorry for my part in that. The other editor in question has some real WP:OWN issues, but I won't go into that. The laughter in dispute begins as the screen fades to black, during the re-titling of "CHILDREN OF MEN," and throughout the credits. It ends right before the very end of the film, where the words "Shantih shantih shantih" appear for a bit. Then everything stops. It is not part of the soundtrack (neither listed on the avilable CDs nor in the credits). Personally, I think that Cuaron is telling us everything ends up okay, but that's my opinion, and I don't dare offer it in the Discusion Page, as you have seen how trollish some of the comments can get. The other editor in question suggests that it doesn't belong anywhere, that it is a blip on the radar (otherwise, he would have entered it in by now). That no reviewer out and out gives it away it is - as I mentioned in the postings - sort of like not revealing who Keyser Soze is (from The Usual Suspects). I don't want Viriditas to call you a meat puppet (which he has done to bully into withdrawal the other contributors who agree that it belongs), so make up your own mind about it. I posted my thanks and reasoning here, to avoid his endlessly uncivil behavior. The cat is just not a happy camper. I just think the movie is deceptively less if we simply omit mentioning something important tht happens at the end. Cheers. :) Arcayne 10:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I remember reading about that in at least three or four reviews, wherein Cuaron said that he used the novel as a launching point. If you didn't see it, you should be able to add it, since the net is rife with sources. If you need help finding them, I am pretty sure I can find one from the set of links I have. Let me know I thought I should mention that i don't need to be right here ('course, it would be nifty to have someone say it); I do, however, really think the other editor in this matter is a tool, and have been holding my tongue while he bullies a lot of new users and contributors around. I guess I got tired of it. My Irish temper is a wily critter sometimes... lolArcayne 11:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Thought I would point out that the script he is citing is the one released by the studio, and its full of events and dialogue that didn't happen in the movie (and movie stuff that isn't in the script).Arcayne 11:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

LOL! Antelope! Thanks for the good laugh. Now, I am back to work as Mister Sun comes up shortly. I hate working the Batphones during overnight rotation. You should feel free to come over an edit Braveheart sometime. Guaranteed a lot more fun, as no one is trying to own the article (except for some boozy Texan, but then, they feel they own everything)Arcayne 11:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Children of Men Lead

Is there a citation that states that he Human Project is "humanity's best hope?" I thought the Third Opinion lent by admin A Man In Black pretty much nioxed this. Arcayne 13:35, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

		The Original Barnstar
		For improving the smizmar out of the Futurama article with exactly the kind of real-world information that articles on TV series generally lack, I award you The Original Barnstar. ~Switch t c g 09:00, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chinaman (disambiguation)

Hi; you just did the same edit, for the same reason, I did an evening or two ago, which has been struggled with since; the version there was put in by Xiner as part of the compromising that's been going on; but yes, it's not quite outdated, and it's not quite entirely derogatory, especially not historically; both are POV positions as well as out-of-context on a disambiguation page. I've wondered, too, to sub-bullet the other entries whose meanings are derived from this meaning, as opposed to Chinaman (chinaware dealer) and Chinaman (ship type) (or "vessel type"), which differ in context. The china dealer and china ship meaning - at one time they were bascially the same thing/mercantile business - is by far the older, though of course not the primary meaning; but because it's a shorter listing maybe, also, it should come first; but there'd probably be objections to that as the ethnic context is by far the more common meaning, and the other is largely unknown in North America except by readers of British history/period literature and the marine trade etc. Anyway, I approve of your change; we'll see if it holds; I give it an hour.....Skookum1 01:36, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] infobox, Tom Kenny

(diff) (hist) . . Tom Kenny‎; 05:43 . . (-262) . . Chickenmonkey (Talk | contribs) (replaced infobox)

Please indicate your reasoning in reverting the design of the infobox. As far as i can tell, the new one was, in my opinion, much better looking and appropriate. Please have a look at other wiki biographies and examine how a good infobox, can improve the general quality of an article. Lucastheory 04:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
