 * Hi, we will address the "promotional" aspect - however, Oscar-qualification for a newsworthy short film is significant as it has to win certain festivals to receive qualification. Also, this title was in movie theaters in Los Angeles and New York. By that virtue, the title is notable like any other film that reaches consumers. Mandolin63 (talk) 23:42, 1 November 2022 (UTC)


 * When you say we will address the "promotional" aspect, who is "we"? As for the Oscar qualification, that is not in itself a notability criterion; these are the criteria that should be met in order to show that the film is notable as Wikipedia defines "notability". "Reaching consumers" is also not a notability criterion. However, I agree that the Academy Awards qualification is a relevant fact about the film – my point was simply that it was (and still is) repeated too many times, contributing to the promotional tone. --bonadea contributions talk 12:57, 11 November 2022 (UTC)

Paid editing disclosures required
Hello Mandolin63. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Mandolin63. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. -- Ponyo bons mots 23:26, 2 November 2022 (UTC)


 * I am not being paid to edit this piece. Mandolin63 (talk) 23:29, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You clearly have a conflict of interest, and if you continue edit warring to restore promotional material to articles, you will be blocked.-- Ponyo bons mots 23:31, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the hostility. I am adding additional citations and cleaning up the promotional aspects. Mandolin63 (talk) 23:32, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd like to revise the promotional tone but keep what was there post edit. He had a movie in theaters, The atomic Dream, that while promotional in tone and needs to change, should absolutely be there - those citations are from heavily trafficked sites, like deadline.com and indiewire.com.
