Sleep Walk
Hi Doniago, sorry about mucking up your edit — honest mistake.

Happy New Year to you.

Paul Magnussen (talk) 21:58, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * No worries! Thanks and Season's Greetings to you as well Paul! Glad we got this sorted out uneventfully! DonIago (talk) 21:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

V for Vendetta
Please look at my change (and the edit comment) more carefully.

As it stood (and again stands after your edit), the paragraph ends in mid-sentence, with a comma:


 * In the essay "Behind the Painted Smile",[11]

The rest of the sentence had been deleted in this edit by User:Czar. That's almost certainly an accident; surely an experienced editor didn't intend to leave a contentless sentence fragment in the article.

The original version was a complete sentence:


 * In the essay "Behind the Painted Smile",[11] Moore revealed that the idea was rejected as DC Thomson balked at the idea of a "transsexual terrorist". And it's already referenced: that [11] is "Moore, Alan (1983). "Behind the Painted Smile". Warrior (17)" (which does say exactly what the article is claiming). So, I just restored the missing rest of the paragraph as it was before Czar's edit. --157.131.170.189 (talk) 03:20, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * If you're saying that the information you're adding is backed up by the source that comes before the information you added, then you should move the citation to properly reflect that. How would a casual reader understand that the citation applies to both parts otherwise?
 * If the citation does not back up the information that you're adding, then you should add a citation that will back up what you're adding. Hopefully this is clear enough. DonIago (talk) 03:37, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Fixed! (not watching, please  as needed)   czar  04:19, 2 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I understand reverting the first time, if you didn't pay attention to what you were reverting to, and didn't read the edit summary. But the second time? You can't honestly think a contentless half-sentence that ends a paragraph with a comma, and a reference that isn't attached to any facts, is better than the previous version of that section, can you? And you can't honestly think I was trying to add unsourced new information, rather than restore old information, after reading my comment above or the edit summaries, can you? I'm trying to AGF here, but I'm somewhat at a loss as to how to do so.


 * Fortunately, Czar—who presumably knew what he was intending to do when he accidentally truncated the sentence in the first place—came back and fixed it, so it's probably a moot point. --157.131.170.189 (talk) 04:39, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Update to scripts by AlexTheWhovian/Alex 21
Hello! This is a generic message created and copied to all editors using scripts that I have created. As I have recently changed my username from "User:AlexTheWhovian" to "User:Alex 21", any scripts that I have created that are listed at your common.js page may, at the moment, no longer be working. To fix this, simply update all occurrences of "User:AlexTheWhovian" to "User:Alex 21"; see here for an example. All the best! -- / Alex /21  11:03, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Death becomes her

 * In other words, there's no explicit evidence that the film is set in that year? If not, we shouldn't explicitly state it. Same goes for the other years, really. We should only use evidence provided directly by the film. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 18:32, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Misty Mountains underworld
Dear Doniago, many thanks for keeping an astute eye on the article 'Misty Mountains'. The information that primordial habitats lay under the Misty Mountains comes from The Hobbit ch. V (p.67 in my edition) in the case of Goblin-town ("There are strange things living in the pools and lakes in the hearts of mountains ... Some of [the] caves, too, go back in their beginnings to ages before the goblins ... the original owners are still there..."). In the case of Moria, the information comes from LotR, The Two Towers book 3 ch. V (p. 105 in my edition): "Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things... They are older than [Sauron]." Please let me know if these references are satisfactory (I will of course provide them in full format), or if I can improve the section in any other way. Regards Jungleboy63 (talk) 09:05, 29 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Jungleboy, thanks for getting in touch. I think providing the specific places in the books where the information is coming from should suffice. Thanks! DonIago (talk) 14:11, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Timrollpickering
Good afternoon, Doniago. I'm Kurihaya, a Japanese speaker and a sysop on jawp. Months ago, you reverted my edit. No offence to you thought, would you please show me what 'Timrollpickering' means? I'm not good at jargons and slangs.--Kurihaya (talk) 03:11, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Timrollpickering is the editor who edited prior to you, so when I reverted the edit summary mentioned that I was reverting to Tim's version of the article. Hope this helps! DonIago (talk) 04:21, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I mixed up the username with some kind of adjectives/adverbs for 'trivial'. Do you like 'The Chronicles of Narnia'? I was deeply impressed by that abbreviation in Japanese edition in my childhood. Regards.--Kurihaya (talk) 06:25, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I liked Prince Caspian the most, in terms of the films. I think I was too old for the books by the time I got to them, and the Christian allegory isn't comfortable for me. DonIago (talk) 06:32, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

Treehouse of Horror XXIII
My addition was not OR. The AV Club review that was already cited on the page states it "starts out in the style of Paranormal Activity (nighttime spookiness seen through surveillance cameras)". The research is no more original than the claim "Bart and Homer's Excellent Adventure" is a nod to Back to the Future, which is also supported by the existing AV Club reference. -- 136.181.195.25 (talk) 21:33, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I've now read the review and it does not refer to a "parody" of PA, it just says it uses a similar style, so I do feel your edit was overreaching. You are welcome to discuss at the article's Talk page. The wording could just as easily refer to a "homage" as a "parody". DonIago (talk) 21:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
