All right, all right, I belive you. :) And with a second look, you were adding good content, no problem. :)DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 12:26, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

All right, I am sorry if I reverted and warned you mistakenly. Perhaps you were right, on the other hand. Pardon me, but I think it was a case like that I looked at your edit quickly and it looked like vandalism, althought it wasn't. Sorry for the mess.

 * Heh, no problem. :) And still once my apologies. DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (Contact) 12:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

The Libertine
Hi. I know you worked hard on the plot section of The Libertine (2004 film), but it was way too long. I cut it down considerably, then it was flagged by someone else as still too long, so it's been edited more. This may make you unhappy when you see it; I didn't want you to go to the page and be surprised or distressed, so I'm letting you know here. I, too, love this film, so I sympathise with your desire to have so much detail on the page, but it just had to be shorter. My notes from the history are expanded on the talk page. --TEHodson 07:37, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * After I edited The Libertine's plot down, I left a message on the talk page of the editor who had flagged it as too long. This is what he answered me (this has been cut and pasted from my talk page, where you are welcome to view it yourself--you can also go to Yworo's talk page to see what I wrote there): "To answer your question, here's the WikiProject Films plot guidelines, which gives 400 to 700 words as the suggested length. They are supposed to be summaries that don't go too deep into detail. IIRC, when I tagged it it was still around 1100 words. It's now 798 words, not so long that I'd tag it. Your work trimming plot summaries is appreciated. Yworo (talk) 09:40, 15 October 2010 (UTC)"


 * If you have left it where it was when this message was left, it'll be fine, but if you go back and lengthen it again, it will get tagged again, and someone else will shorten it again. Personally, I find it best and easiest to do things the "Wiki" way, as if I don't, things just get reverted or argued with and it's a huge pain in the ass that goes on forever. There are web sites dedicated (elswhere) to discussing The Libertine for pages (see the bottom of Wiki's page for links), and if that's what you want to do, maybe doing it there would be more satisfying. I'm a filmmaker and I appreciate your arguments, but this is an encyclopedia, not a film-discussion forum, so there have to be rules otherwise everyone who loves a film would go on for pages about it, without necessarily satisfying the (usually limited) requirements of a person who just wants to check it out briefly. Each one of us loves different bits and, for example, in your 1400 word version of the "plot summary" you didn't once mention Rochester's relationship with his wife. Someone else might want to discuss that in detail, without all the witty quotes you want in there, and it would get ridiculously long as everyone added in there favorite bits. It would take longer to read about the film than to watch it. The idea here is to create a brief snapshot of the movie (album, whatever) for the passing reader's information. This is not the place to discuss the film's subtleties. I hope you can live with it as it is. There is an on-going effort to tighten up all the film plot summaries, by the way, to expect to see this a great deal. Please sign your comments on talk pages, by the way. Thanks. --TEHodson 22:52, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I also wanted to say that I appreciate your not wanting to get into a fight. Such amicability is why I came to your talk page to let you know what had happened (an increasingly rare courtesy on these pages, where we're mostly left to discover that someone has undone all our hard work). I'm not in any way telling you not to lengthen it again, only reminding you that it's likely to be futile. Take care. --TEHodson 23:09, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:47, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
