Fine, I'll abide by it but in my opinion, I still think that some details are needed so as to complete the plot. Olivier Baghdadi (talk • contribs) 06:16, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

DYK Review for Third Murderer
Hi Ribbet32. I've reviewed your DYK nomination and have only two minor concerns that should be easy to address. Once those are addressed, I intended to approve the hook. Lepricavark (talk) 23:47, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Palme d'Or Flags
Hello I see you reverted my edit of switching the flag for The Best Intentions from Sweden to Denmark. Is it true that the flags are aimed for director's nationalities and not the film's country of origin? Because I edited the page for the recent Palme d'Or winner The Square, saying it was the first film since 1951 for Sweden to win, and then someone reverted my edit claiming The Best Intentions counts in between them. - Theironminer (talk) 17:16, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello Theironminer, I'm the one who also reverted The Square edit. The problem was one of precise wording- the edit to The Square claimed it was the first Swedish film to win the Palme d'Or, which I knew to be false- The Best Intentions was Swedish, even Pelle the Conqueror was a Swedish co-production. The film's country isn't necessarily the same as the direector's- a whole host of factors are counted. However, if you look at the top of the tables on the main Palme d'Or article, they focus on the nationality of the directors rather than the films. Not something I necessarily agree with, that's just the way it was before I ever edited that article, and I guess that's what other editors thought was best. Ribbet32 (talk) 17:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

Replying to your message about tagging.
Hey, I didn't perceive it quite that way. I just assumed it was more of a general "this article has some content, but could use beefing up". Someone tagged one of my previous new articles, Small Town Crime or Permission (film) with it. I figured it was something that was attached to all stubs in order to urge expansion. But I felt like A Woman, a Part was my best new film article yet. As you said, it contained the most references with just about everything accounted for. (Quick aside: thanks for the compliment, too. I felt accomplished after writing that one.) The only thing it's really missing is a plot section (which I don't want to write myself without having seen the film, as to avoid spoiling it for myself). So thanks for the heads up! I'll remove that as it's quite unnecessary now that you mention it. I'll leave it on Letters from Baghdad. I dunno why, but I feel quite exhausted and/or apathetic about adding further references to that. So yes, laziness/fatigue from creating new movie articles in regards to that one page. But I appreciate the tip nonetheless, and won't add it to future articles unless I feel like I'm under-sourced (see: Letters from Baghdad) and need assistance in expanding it.--Cinemaniac86Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire 08:49, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Your edits at Kagemusha
Those were nice edits you made at Kagemusha. Recently, another editor requested that a sortable list of directed films be put in at Kajirō Yamamoto and I was wondering if you could glance at that section for possible enhancement. JohnWickTwo (talk) 12:59, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your kind words JohnWickTwo. I would tend to agree a table would help that article in the very least in aesthetics. Sortable can give the reader more convenience in finding a title as well. Ribbet32 (talk) 18:42, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Day of Wrath
Hello Rib, just noticed your reversion of my edits for the film Day of Wrath and the classification as drive by tagging. I wanted to let you know that my additions were not drive by tagging as the article is incomplete and those sections (and missing information) still need to be expanded and added respectively. The Reception section is way too short and only briefly states that the film received mixed reviews on its initial release and later acclaim. The reception section, although relatively well written, doesn't address the issues the film had during its production. Other issues that are mentioned in the talk page still need to be addressed in the article as well as the fact that the article still needs work done to it. Hopefully I've clarified the reason why such additions were added to the article and the reason that they should remain in the article and this doesn't sound like me rambling like a madman.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Not every article needs a tag; this is more substantial than many articles. Every article is a work in progress; not every one needs an incomplete tag. You have a history of tag bombing articles, but I seriously doubt you have ever seen this film or have any interest in it. Ribbet32 (talk) 17:46, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the help with regards to "My Cousin Rachel" and such, but there are better ways to address users who have made mistakes then the way you did with me. Please be aware of that. Your message on my talk page insulted my intelligence by pointing out grammar errors and then insulted my personality by calling me whinny. I don't apprieciate that at all. Repect all users. Anyway, thank you for addressing me and helping me out by providing that template. I hope we can be friends. TheMovieGuy.

Thanks
Thanks for weighing in on ANI about that OTRS issue. I gotta say, I love your comment, "Perhaps the fucking tone in that fucking quote isn't fucking sunshine and fucking lollipops, but there's no fucking personal attack." Spot-on.

I maintain a list of notable quotes on my user page and if I didn't think it might reflect poorly on you without the context of the ANI discussion, that would be at the top of the list. Toddst1 (talk) 13:32, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Gerald Ford assassination attempt in Sacramento and Tawana Brawley rape allegations
Hi Ribbet32, I'm MagicatthemovieS. You might remember me - you passed my nomination of "A Rape on Campus" as a good article. Since we work well together, I was wondering if you might like to check out two articles which I recently nominated to reach good article status - Gerald Ford assassination attempt in Sacramento and Tawana Brawley rape allegations. Let me know if you are interested in either article or both of them.

Thanks, ~ MagicatthemovieS
 * Hi, of course I remember you; right now I have my hands full with another review, sorry. Maybe I'll take a look at Gerald Ford and see if I can give it a copyedit, but that's about all I can do for right now. Ribbet32 (talk) 16:52, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks ; let me know if you're able to review either article when you're less busy.

ANI
I closed the ANI you started as it was going nowhere, I understand some of your concerns about Oogles, but it it verges on a personal attack to say that using "legal action" for a section header is a sign of incompetence, also try to avoid any comments that could be construed as claiming other editors have mental problems. Tornado chaser (talk) 16:54, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Sorry ...
... for getting a little tense on the 11B-X-1371 GA review. I just had never seen anyone in a GA review insist on a particular category ordering scheme, especially the one that's less used (I think there used to be something that said editors should defer to the original editor's category ordering if there was one ... leave it alpha if they put it that way, and if not, not). My general rule with things is that the one with entries that the subject has most in common with should go first (with the exception of birth and death years in biographies, which sort of carries over to year of creation in the case of artworks (as it did here). Daniel Case (talk) 19:49, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I wasn't insisting, it wasn't conditional to passing the review, but, as I noted in the GAC, we were both getting needlessly argumentative. My bad as much as yours, and certainly no hard feelings! In fact, when I saw Daniel Case posted a "Sorry" message on my talk, I said, "What does Daniel Case have to apologize for?" Ribbet32 (talk) 21:27, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

 * I nominated Pocahontas to be peer-reviewed; as you were interested in my (failed) GA nomination of it, might you be interested in peer-reviewing it? - MagicatthemovieS

Possibility of providing your input on a Peer Review for Regine Velasquez's entry
Hi Ribbet32,

I'm writing to ask whether you would consider having a look at the article. I'm aware that you've been involved with a few PRs before. I've given it a major rewrite and complete overhaul. I began working on the article late October when it looked like this and somehow ended up rewriting the whole thing and aiming for potentially FA. This isn't a process I've been through before, but I have been reading the reviews here in preparation, and am familiar with FAC demands. I would very much appreciate a fresh set of eyes and happily address any concerns you may have.

Thanks! Pseud 14 (talk) 04:26, 3 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi,, I've really only done two PRs, and never on a living person. I'm unfamiliar with this individual, but made a minor edit . I'd suggest checking for WP:LQ and WP:RS. I know it's a pain to wait for a reviewer on PR, but I'm not sure what else to suggest. Ribbet32 (talk) 06:29, 3 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi,, Appreciate your quick review! I'll have to be extra patient to wait for potential reviewers for now Pseud 14 (talk) 07:05, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Just wanted to pop in to say great work on your articles on Canadian cinema and classics of World cinema. I've been following your articles and am very impressed with your dedication and write-ups. :) Thanks for being a great editor on Wikipedia! Andrzejbanas (talk) 17:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks Andrzejbanas, the recognition means something to me. The last GAC got a little heated, the fact that the nominator closed by firing some bewildering personal shots at me and made some (in my estimation) unwarranted accusations of OR and bias kind of diminished the sense of achievement for me. But Wikipedians, including myself, all have their strong opinions and eccentricities. Ribbet32 (talk) 21:39, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Argh. That has happened to me before as well. Predominantly in my old work on the old White Zombie film article. That was a strange one. Feel free to ping or grab me if you have questions or need a third head in to take a look at things. Andrzejbanas (talk) 20:25, 12 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Bit late to the party, but I hadn't clicked on the article for Persona in some time, only to see it's been overhauled some what! Excellent work on this - one of my fave films of all time. I'll make a note to have a proper read at some point this week. Belated thanks for your hard work on the article.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 19:41, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Personal attacks
What exactly have I done to piss you off so much? You seem extremely angry and have bit me on several occasions. What's the reason? In ictu oculi (talk) 22:46, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm willing to bury the hatchet and have avoided bumping heads with you for months. However, I'm completely opposed to turning English Wikipedia into American Wikipedia (per WP:BIAS). Also, not all disagreements constitute a personal attack. Ribbet32 (talk) 00:03, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
 * "That's some pretty ignorant and extreme systemic bias." because someone who speaks Italian and watches Italian films dared to say that a major English language film would probably make a better case for the general reader in English speaking countries? It's an opinion. We're all volunteers here. The other volunteers are allowed to have different views on things without "pretty ignorant and extreme systemic bias". Anyway, whatever.

 * Hi Cognissonance, I'd first suggest checking with Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations to ask if such an arrangement would be kosher or would raise apprehension of bias/favouritism/whatever. Ribbet32 (talk) 22:58, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I've done the same with many experienced editors (for reviews of Remember Me (video game), Watch Dogs 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, and others). If you read those reviews, there is no bias to be found. Cognissonance (talk) 23:18, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

FYI, I have listed one more comment under source review. Do have a look and rectify it. The last four comments in the "Section-wise" portion are still unresolved. BTW, for the ISBN, copy the existing ISBN of the books and paste it in this URL. It'll give you the ISBN-13 number. Copy-paste that number instead. Do this for each book (except the ones where ISBN-13 numbers are already present). BTW, from your Google Books, I noticed you are from Canada. Parlez vous Francais? — Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 15:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

The ISBN part still remains unresolved. I've conveterd to ISBN-13 for the first four to show you how. Please do fix the remaining as per my comment above. Thanks. — Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 04:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Again, you did make a fair point about not being a required fix. Also, I do sincerely apologise if I've troubled you with this. Its just that if not me, then someone else might someday ask about it. I was merely trying to help you with the GAN process, and I might have got myself quite carried away while reviewing the article. I hope this doesn't put a dent in our collaborations and relationship as fellow Wikipedian editors and friends .

 * Hi User:Ssven2, no need for you to apologize. We're both excited about the subject, which is a good thing; I just had to squeeze it in with a hectic work day (that's why I left the GAC review for several hours half way through). I'm sorry if I've caused you to feel a dent. I fear the problem is me and that I'm a lousy collaborator and a poor fit for Wikipedia.

 * Don't give yourself so much credit, Ribbet32. Even I am to blame, and I'm glad/happy you accepted my apology. Here's to a good day and weekend in advance. On a lighter note, you can give me a tit-for-tat by posting comments at my FAC.  —  Ssven2  Looking at you, kid 07:12, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
