Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:
 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! Trut-h-urts man (T • C) 05:05, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Your recent edits
I see that you've been editing film-related articles recently. Here are some points that may help you:


 * Use an edit summary to explain your edits. Many good-faith edits are indistinguishable from vandalism without an edit summary.
 * Read the manual of style for film and become acquainted with the simplified manual of style. They contain useful information on how we write film-related articles.
 * Before making changes to the infobox, read through infobox film and become familiar with the guidelines for its use. For example, we do not list the entire cast in the infobox; instead, we limit inclusion to the billing block on the film's poster.
 * Cite your sources. Make sure that you quote a reliable source that has an editorial board and history of fact-checking.  Do not cite the IMDB, as it is not reliable.  Self-published blogs are also not suitable.  Try to stick to sites listed at WikiProject Film's list of resources, such as Variety.  Do not add your own opinion or analysis.
 * If you see something that's obviously wrong, fix it. However, you should explain your edit in the edit summary, and possibly leave a message on the talk page if you think the change may be contentious.

Where to get help: the tea house, a welcoming place for new editors; the help desk, a forum for questions on how to edit Wikipedia; WikiProject Film, a central discussion for film-related articles; or, if you would like more personalized help, you can leave a message on my talk page. My specialties are horror films, art-house films, and cult films, and I can help you with those topics. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
