Hello, I'm Arxiloxos. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Robert Kardashian, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Arxiloxos (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Non-encyclopedic edits to Eleanor section
Hello!

I realize your enthusiasm - and concern - for ensuring that Ms. Halicki's ownership of the Eleanor name and image is made clear to the world, as it should. The 2004 suit was a disastrous and disgusting miscarriage of justice, and I feel very strongly that the 2008 ruling in her favor should be made clear, as a proper summary of the suits are not easily found through a Google search; hence the widespread misunderstandings that exist today.

This also explains the importance of making sure the Wikipedia page is accurate. However, these edits must also be written in a manner worthy of an encyclopedia and not get bogged down in overemphasis. I've tried - along with other Wikipedia editors - to maintain the Eleanor page in this manner, ensuring that the article is fair, balanced, and clarifies any of the discrepancies and misinformation that surrounds these films.I'd appreciate it if you'd work with me and the rest of the editors in maintaining this quality of detail and overall decorum on the Eleanor page and on Wikipedia in general.

Many of us, myself in particular, share the same zest for Mustangs, car chases, and cinematography as the late Mr. Halicki himself. Personally, I would like to make sure that his pioneering work is properly recognized as a professionally-made independent film, as too many people use his tragic water tower accident and the secretive details about Eleanor's preparation as excuses to belittle his attitude towards on-set stunt preparation and safety. Fact is, his stunts were conducted with the same amount of professionalism as any Hollywood film of the time - but Gone in 60 Seconds, by virtue of being the pioneering independent film, received more attention and unjust criticism for doing what would otherwise be norm for the big studios.

It's this professionalism which will help to continue molding the perception of Gone in 60 Seconds in a positive light. Even 40 years later, the film seems to be shrouded in a sort of mysterious murk of lots of lore and not enough information.

I had a choice to make an accurate replica of one of the six '71 Mach 1s from Diamonds are Forever or take a beat-up '72 Mach 1 and tear it apart - just like Toby - to make a perfect replica of Eleanor, right down to the aftermarket hood pins on the flat hood (not to mention the Los Angeles City Ford license plate frames - soon as I find the exact period variants used in the film).

Why? I value Toby's hard work far more than another studio film. That, and I want to see the original film get some proper recognition for once - even if it means building up one of my own cars as Eleanor, driving it around, and telling completely baffled onlookers at car shows to "...watch the Halicki film if you really want to see a car chase."

Please - let's work together to keep Mr. Halicki's legacy alive in a positive, professional light.

Thank you!

Hello Cubak888 I am so glad that you a fan. I am not sure if I am doing this right. If I am not please tell me how to contact you.

Please note: I work with Ms Halicki the changes that you made are inaccurate change. I know first hand of the Licensing deals with HPC/Disney for the remake and other Licensing like Classic Recreation (terminated) Greenlight TOYS (Original and Remake Eleanor die cast coming out this year 2014).

And I was involved in all the court lawsuits. I know Shelby lawsuits and the settlement that Halicki owns the Eleanor copyright image and Trademark name, Unique / Sanderson lawsuits and Monfort (Roneale - Eleanor spelled backwords) Lawsuits. Ms Halicki owns all the Eleanor Rights copyright image and Trademark name.

So when I make changes on Eleanor Mustang I am making them accurate - The mecum Action sold an Eleanor Mustang - we don't know its a true Movie Eleanor just beacuse some says so it not always true. Just like Lawsuit with Shelby/Sanderson it wasn't Chip Foose that made and or design Eleanor per the Cinema Vehicle deposition. I understand some people said Foose designed Eleanor in some magazine stated he was but in court papers it wasn't so. He owns nothing of eleanor

So I hope Clear this up for you and I will fix the page again... I like you help. thanks Eleanor60


 * Thank you for the reply. Ideally, given the encyclopedic nature of Wikipedia, the information about the lawsuit should be, of course, revised to reflect accurate events. However, simplicity is preferable; the exact details and events relating to the case should be noted with reference tags to a website with more information. It is, after all, an encyclopedia; a quick reference where pertinent - though succinct - information to a subject should be found under one heading. Referencing the toy companies and the smallest details about the lawsuit almost obligates one to write an entire page on the case (which may not be a bad idea - you may want to try creating a new Wikipedia page for it.


 * That said, given your background with the case, have you given consideration to developing - in conjunction with Ms. Halicki - an additional page on the Gone in 60 Seconds website; a summary of the case to set the record straight - not only for the purposes of reference, but for concerned fans and enthusiasts who want the true story?


 * That site could be used as reference to any of the references on Wikipedia, thereby allowing for the short summary on Wikipedia and a single irrefutable source for the case information. I would not suggest reaffirming that Ms. Halicki won the lawsuit any more than necessary - overstatement of the truth may bring about the usual doubters. The Ninth Circuit had the sense to settle that for all time and nobody can question that.


 * As for the reference to Foose's design of the car, I'll remove it. It brings up an interesting question though - who was subcontracted for the design? Does any site get the reference correct? My strongest knowledge is of the original film and the two original Eleanors (FYI - the wrecked car that Denise still has holds a very interesting secret), but not the '67. If the original film seems to be shrouded in misinformation, anything relating to the remake is doubly so.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cudak888 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 4 August 2014 (UTC) You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for disruptive editing and revealing non-public personal information about another user.

I was wrong for disruptive editing and revealing non-public personal information about another user. I am sorry. I will never do that again.

I admit I did go on Goggle and typed in the username and read their public information and I did ask the user if that was them. I didn't know public information was blocked on Wikipedia or asking user who they are. I will never do it again.

I admit that I been doing disruptive editing. I will never do it again. I am new, but I know I can contribute accurate information that helps all users of Wikipedia.

For example if I was unblocked, I could clear up the inaccurate information on the "Eleanor Mustang page" or "Gone in 60 Seconds 1974 and or remake 2000", or "H.B. Halicki page" I learned per the Wikipedia guild lines to use a "accurate reference" - example I would use this 2013 Interview/article that Denice Halicki (widow, owner of the Eleanor rights and Producer of the Gone in 60 seconds movie) did with the Editor of Mustang Monthly Magazine

I want to make true productive contributions. I hope you allow me to show Wikipedia that I will follow all the rules and Guild line. Thank you. Eleanor60 (talk) 07:20, 4 August 2014 (UTC)Eleanor60 (talk) 02:22, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

 * I am not in favour of an unblock. Eleanor60, you repeatedly state that you're new. However, you have actually been active since October 2012, nearly two years. In your time here you have not demonstrated that you have learned anything about how to contribute effectively to the encyclopedia by adding well-sourced encyclopedic information. Your edits have been exclusively related to a car, the Eleanor, used in a couple of movies. you admit that you have a conflict of interest; according to your conflict of interest guidelines, you should not be editing on the topic of Eleanor at all. Recent edits include, , and . None of your edits remain in the encyclopedia; in fact your presence here has generated extra work for other editors who have taken the time clean up after you. -- Diannaa (talk) 14:41, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
