IMAX GT at Puente Hills Mall
Hey, I'm not a Wiki person but I frequent that location and can vouch it's been upgraded to GT aka Dual-Laser on a 1.9:0 canvas. 47.147.230.147 (talk) 18:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I guess I'll have to take your word for it! Don't be surprised if someone else reverts this though, unless you can find a source. Barry Wom (talk) 18:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I don't think reporting at WP:EWN was the problem, and I don't think requesting semi protection would have been an improvement. Deciding that not engaging the other user was part of the answer is concerning. (No edit warrior thinks they are wrong.) And there are other steps to take when the other user is unresponsive to your concerns. What is the single most important thing you should have done?&#45;- Deepfriedokra (talk) 09:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Note from blocking admin: This request has removed whatever doubt was left on my part that a block of this length from just the article was correct. Daniel Case (talk) 07:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Just a partial block. So, 6,000,000 other articles to choose from. Sweet and meet t hat you did so. &#45;-  Deepfriedokra (talk) 07:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I should have thought that was obvious. Be very careful when making multiple reverts that I do not make more than three reverts in 24 hours. By my calculations I broke this rule by 62 minutes on one occastion and 16 minutes on another. Barry Wom (talk) 11:06, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You can still be blocked for edit warring even if you don't go over 3RR. Making reverts just outside of 3RR is considered gaming the system, and often results in a block. PhilKnight (talk) 14:46, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm aware of that. "Gaming" implies intentionality though and that wouldn't have been the case. Barry Wom (talk) 10:25, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Transformers: The Last Knight
I'd appreciate if you'd take a look at Transformers: The Last Knight. I notice in your previous edits on that article you have also tried to cut back the bloat and make sure the WP:LEAD section summarizes succinctly.

I have attempted to reduce the paragraph long premise summary in the lead section down to just one sentence.(diff) I'd appreciate a second opinion, but I really don't think very much detail is needed in the lead. -- 109.255.172.169 (talk) 21:53, 17 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I can't comment on your trimmed down plot summary as I haven't seen the film, but I've further trimmed the lede to remove some of the overlong cast list. Barry Wom (talk) 10:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look. Personally I feel it is redundant to write "In the film," (where else would we be talking about) and I fear that having the premise in a separate paragraph will only encourage the type of person who will bloat it back up again (not that they need much encouragement), but I will check back again in a few months and see how it goes. Not having seen the film is better actually, the single line of premise in the lead section should more or less make sense with little or no prior knowledge (you know like in an encyclopedia). The lead section shouldn't be inflicting trivia like "the order of the Wittwicans" on normal readers. The film itself is spectacularly bad, it is a bad film and a spectacular noisy mess full of Bayhem.. If you've seen film 2, 3, or 4, you should be able to guess what film 5 TLK is like, and it is more absurd than that even. -- 109.255.172.169 (talk) 14:01, 18 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, I've made the amendment.
 * I've only seen the first installment and that was more than sufficient for a lifetime. Barry Wom (talk) 14:25, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ...
 * I watched the first one and foolishly thought the second film might get better, but instead all the bad bits got worse. I waited years before eventually watching the rest of the series. Bumblebee is actually quite good, albeit basically a E.T. knock-off. Which is a long way of saying you're right and not missing much. -- 109.255.172.169 (talk) 15:57, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey now, the third one is a maximalist masterpiece. ...I'll get back to editing. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 05:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Barry Wom! Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 15:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
 * We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
 * Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
 * Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
 * If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.

Please review it as a edit.
Ok look I know I was objectively wrong beforehand trying to force sources onto the article that couldn't be used but trust me this time there's nothing wrong with anything on the edit. Please do not take it off. 2603:6000:B800:EB4:E4D1:7F1F:141F:1EB3 (talk) 14:38, 14 March 2024 (UTC)


 * At the very least, I have to admire your persistence. Barry Wom (talk) 14:48, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Please do not block me,
This is the Wikipedia page, I always edit this one. It should be used to fix stuff, not to disrupt edit., by the way it’s a holiday. Exteahans71 (talk) 17:34, 31 March 2024 (UTC)


 * You will not be blocked if you refrain from inserting unsourced or badly sourced material into articles. You have already been warned multiple times about this. Barry Wom (talk) 17:43, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Help needed
There is an abusive user constantly edit-warring on The Pandemic Special by inserting piped links to redirects. I’ve already got a complaint filed but I also need to stop my edit warring. Can you please review the edits and assist as needed? Thanks. - SanAnMan (talk) 12:23, 25 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Done. Normally I'd report them for edit warring but I suspect in this case you might also get sanctioned. Let me know if I can be of further help. Barry Wom (talk) 12:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If so it will be for fighting in what I believe is right. - SanAnMan (talk) 15:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

April 2024
Your recent editing history at South Park shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
