Unrelated drafts
This talk page had contained drafts for articles about several other films. These were removed in this edit on the ground that they were not relatd to helping improve the article Aguila (film). Such drafts should be posted, if at all, in their own pages, probably iun the Draft: or User: namespace at first, where they can be reveiweed and improved before being moved to the main article space. See WP:AFC for details. Please do not include such unrelated content on this talk page in future. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 00:07, 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry for that. Won't happen again. I had to place it here because I didn't know where else to place those drafts. I thought it would be ok considering this page is a FPJ movie and those drafts were likewise FPJ movies After they were deleted, I created the pages and have added references to the same. Was planning on creating them at a later date because I wanted to find more references and also because I'm currently busy reviewing for a board exam. Rest assured, drafts that are unrelated to the main article would be the least of your problems with me going forward. Real sorry for the mess. Warmest regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gardo Versace (talk • contribs) 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * , (please try to remember to sign your talk page posts by typing four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your message) I was the one who deleted those drafts. Don't worry, they can be retrieved from the page's history when you are ready to take them to their own draft pages. This page is for discussing how to improve the attached article, nothing else, not even a general discussion about the subject of the article is allowed if it's not connected in some way to an effort to improve it. You are obviously a good faith contributor making very helpful contributions to the encyclopedia, so there isn't much here to apologise for; mistakes are what we learn from. DESiegel deserves my thanks for adding this note, which I should have added so you wouldn't be caught off-guard to see your hard work apparently gone. BTW, the least of your problems with me means the exact opposite of what you intended; it actually reads as a threat that you are going to cause so much problems going forward that this issue wouldn't even be worth mentioning by the time you are done. Cheers!  Usedtobecool  TALK ✨ 12:44, 15 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for understanding why I did what I did and for recognizing the work I put into these drafts. Will take note of the four tildes and will keep it close to the vest. Also, my apologies again if it sounded like a threat, my intention though was to say that me doing it agin would not be a problem anymore going forward as I will be more circumspect with my editing. I've certainly learned from my mistake here and I thank you for pointing that one out and giving me a chance to learn. Warmest regards
