Question
I'm just curious as to how for every film you swap category there appears an edit entry in each of the two categories. Must be something evident, but I am puzzled. Thanks. Hoverfish Talk 22:13, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh I see now that it just appears on my watchlist and not in the edit history of the category. I didn't know this worked so. Funny after all these years in films... :) Hoverfish Talk 22:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You've never been on Wikipedia too long to pick up new tricks. :) DonIago (talk) 13:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

12 Monkeys
It's been pretty quiet on the talk page and I never weighed in on the second RfC. Has this unpleasantness ended? --- The Old Jacobite The '45 14:08, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, BrightR got topic-banned from discussing sourcing of plot sections (see their Talk page for more info), and as they were the only one pushing for inclusion, I think the situation has essentially imploded. There was never any actual RfC or such there, so I don't think there's anything that requires additional review. I suppose it's possible some other editor could come along and try to resurrect it, but I don't think it's likely. DonIago (talk) 14:18, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Thanks! --- The Old Jacobite The '45 02:22, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, that ANI thread was the wrong thing to read before going to bed last night. I'm actually glad I didn't take part, 'cause it was acrimonious enough.  Thanks for the things you said, I couldn't have stated the issues better. --- The Old Jacobite The '45 02:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ironically, for me the ANI thread was pretty much on autopilot. I didn't open it, and BrightR did a better job of digging their own hole than I possibly could have by saying basically anything. There were times where I really thought they might end up indeffed, which was a pretty far cry from when another editor and I were expressing concern that even if we opened an ANI thread nothing would come of it. DonIago (talk) 04:43, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
 * They had clearly tangled with a lot of experienced editors and admins in the past, and it boomeranged. Nearly every response made the situation worse. --- The Old Jacobite The '45 12:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep. To put it bluntly, they didn't know when to shut up. I'm all for editors expressing their opinions if they have a strong belief that they're correct, but editors also have to know when it's time to let something go and move on to other matters. DonIago (talk) 13:00, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

On a related note, the discussion at Fantastic Mr. Fox (film) also closed. That one had an RfC on the Talk page, though the editor who started that discussion inexplicably went inactive as well, perhaps because they didn't like the direction the conversation was going in. DonIago (talk) 15:20, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the update. I had a feeling it would go that way.  That RfC was even more trivial and silly than the one for 12 Monkeys.  At some point, this becomes an abuse of the RfC process.  Again, sometimes it's best just to stop and walk away. ---<b style="font-family: Georgia;"> The Old Jacobite </b><i style="font-family: Courier New;">The '45</i> 15:22, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I don't think there's any processes for speedy-closing an RfC...almost certainly not by an involved editor at least, unless they choose to withdraw it before substantive discussion occurs. DonIago (talk) 15:26, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Still a newbie, thanks for the help VeritasVox (talk) 14:39, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Reverting edits on Arcology
Arcologies are in the game. Instead of continually reverting my edits, would it not be better to update the source to something considered reputable? <span style="text-shadow:#404 0.2em 0.2em 0.8em;font-family:Franklin Gothic Book, Calibri">—Entropy (talk) 17:23, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
 * If I knew of a source that discussed the game's use of them as a significant example (required per WP:IPCV), I'd be happy to do so. DonIago (talk) 17:30, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Why Were You Rude to Me?
Excuse me, yeah excuse me, i made a "CORRECT" edit to Family Guy, Megatron is her name, CUTAWAY OR NOT. and also if you disagree with an edit in future, just revert it and keep your mouth shut. "Was the comment Clear" Ryan Jay (talk) 19:37, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:AGF and WP:NPA would seem to be worthwhile reading here. If you see a note, I would recommend starting a Talk page discussion rather than simply ignoring it, as there's a fair chance it's there for a good reason. And I asked whether the note was unclear precisely because you did the one thing the note said not to do. If you were having trouble understanding it, I would welcome suggestions for how it might be improved.
 * Have you considered the irony of asking me why I was rude to you only to yell at and insult me?
 * If you respond to this in a similarly uncivil manner I will give you a warning for personal attacks. There's my assuming you were simply unaware that they are not tolerated here. DonIago (talk) 19:47, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok sure, i didn't mean to come off as rude, i just overreact sometimes. I just wanted to see if i could make a worthwhile change on List of Family Guy Characters that's all.Ryan Jay (talk) 15:16, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
 * To be sure the article could use a lot of clean-up, but the general consensus has been that we shouldn't add things based on one-off gags because they're not "facts" of the show at that point. If Meg is called "Megatron" at some point in a future episode, for instance, this may be worth revisiting. DonIago (talk) 15:33, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Rusty Ryan
You restored a cleanup template to the article Rusty Ryan (which has been marked for cleanup since May 2009), which does not have a reason= field. Can you add a reason to the template? RJFJR (talk) 15:38, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, sure, I'll take a look at it. Thanks for letting me know! DonIago (talk) 15:41, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Mommie Dearest
Why are you trying to protect this page? Do you doubt it won these Razzies? It is linked at the bottom of the page!Sudiani (talk) 20:21, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * A navbox is not a reliable source, assuming that's what you're referring to? I'd suggest going to one of the Razzie Awards articles and just grabbing a relevant citation from them. Shouldn't take more than five minutes. As for allegations that I'm trying to protect the page, I'm not sure what you're referring to. You simply haven't provided a reliable source yet. Please let me know if you need further assistance! DonIago (talk) 20:24, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

List of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School alumni
Please WP:Don't template the regulars. Abductive (reasoning) 02:15, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Please don't add unsourced information to a list article where it's clear that entries are intended to have citations provided. DonIago (talk) 02:22, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You can always look at the person's article first. In fact, wouldn't it be more constructive to look the "what links here" for your high school and see if there are more unlisted alums? Abductive  (reasoning) 04:12, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Maybe I should just let you manage my Talk page for me, since you seem to be doing a great job of anticipating my responses to people. :p Thanks! DonIago (talk) 15:16, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

The Swimmer (1968 film)
Please review WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss it on the article talk page, not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring. During the discussion, the article remains in the status quo ante. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:54, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Wow, way to essentially template a regular, especially when you could just have easily have started the conversation yourself. DonIago (talk) 04:56, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * You made the edit, you justify it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:39, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

AN/I
A discussion has been opened on AN/I which concerns you. You will find it here. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:39, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

ANI
As you've probably read the ANI thread about you, Beyond My Ken did not appreciate the wording that you used and how you went about expressing your concerns on this discussion. Just... keep in mind that others read these concerns. The manner in which you word your statements and address other editors should be taken with respect, thought, and with the issue at-hand in mind. Please understand that statements that imply or make accusations will either need supporting evidence or they'll be seen poorly by others and draw your abilities to make logical, neutral, and relevant messages and discussions into question and under scrutiny. Just keep this in mind moving forward. Thanks, cheers, and have a great Friday night :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   07:34, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reaching out to me. I understand your point and appreciate your concerns. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 12:12, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Your issue with my Zombie edits?
User:Doniago, is your issue with my edits that I did not provide a source for the fact that there have been no documented cases of The Last of Us-type infected human zombies? Or do you have a problem with the information? Because I find it fitting to amend the information I provided (in which a science writer praises the game for its plausibility) with the fact that, however plausible, there are still no documented cases of this. So many morons people believe a zombie apocalypse could happen any time, I figure it's reasonable to note the plausibility of a fictional zombie while still noting that plausibility is not proof or premonition. I'm going to look into providing a source and reviving the information because, as explained here, and as I'll happily explain on Zombie talk page, I think it's worthwhile information. But I'm not quite sure what you meant by "negative statement" in your edit summary. PcPrincipal (talk) 23:01, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
 * In principal my concern is that you didn't provide a source for your statement. The statement itself I find unnecessary as well though, akin to saying "to date there have been no reported instances of aliens living on mars". I wouldn't necessarily revert such a statement if a reliable source had made it, but I would ask...what's the point? If aliens were found on Mars it would be reported, and if there were documented cases of human zombies, similarly, we would report it, I would think. Hope this helps! DonIago (talk) 02:29, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Die Hard
The reason I reverted that part in Die Hard because it would confuse readers of the way it was written into thinking that McClane fired that machine gun in Powell's car, which he didn't. I just thought someone should better clarify that part. BattleshipMan (talk) 16:42, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Looks okay the way it is now, with no mention of the gun. Dropping the body is good enough to convey the point. DonIago (talk) 16:43, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I do agree. It's just another editor added that and I reverted it before. That's the reason I bought this up to you when you reverted my previous edit. BattleshipMan (talk) 17:09, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
