Cinemascore
The Hunger Games (film) doesn't include Cinemascore. Do you think we should add it? I added it to The Hunger Games (film series) earlier but I'm not sure how best to fit it around the existing commentary in the Hunger Games article. If you think it is a good idea give it a shot, I'll back you up. -- 109.78.242.41 (talk) 23:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's not worth bothering with. Thanks anyway. -- 109.78.242.41 (talk) 00:21, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Spring training
Hi - I saw your updates to MLB 2020 team pages; the term spring training should not be capitalized. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I copied that info from 2020 Tampa Bay Rays season, which was originally capitalized. Songwaters (talk) 22:50, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Regardless of source, it's not correct to capitalize the term. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:52, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * All fixed. Songwaters (talk) 23:14, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * That's great. Thank you. Dmoore5556 (talk) 23:15, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jenny Durkan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page KUOW ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Jenny_Durkan check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Jenny_Durkan?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Thank you
Thank you for your gracious comments at the talk page for Ian Fleming. Your apology is warmly accepted, and is reciprocated if you thought I was comparing you to the American ex-president. I referred merely to the latter's unconventional attitude to facts. You are plainly sensitive to facts, as well as courteous to your fellow editors, and we can amicably agree to differ about whether an info-box would be helpful to the reader for this particular article. Permit me to add that I am strongly pro IBs where they can adequately summarise the article. Best wishes,  Tim riley  talk   19:46, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I also accept your reciprocal apology. I've gone ahead and asked Jojhutton on his talk page to stop assuming bad faith and be civil (though I've clearly failed). Songwaters (talk) 19:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Splendid. I'm glad we are on friendly terms. Best,  Tim riley  talk   20:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

 * You said that well ;) - I said somewhere today that what we tried to reform in 2013 is happening right now, and you are part of it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

You should add an email to your Wikipedia account. I want to ask you something. ~ HAL  333  15:57, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Percentages
Thank you for providing a needed update to The Exorcist. But do keep this in mind. Daniel Case (talk) 04:12, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * When referring to Rotten Tomatoes scores, the universal norm on film articles is to use the percent sign, as this is what Rotten Tomatoes uses and is outlined in the Manual of Style for film articles. Also, the MOS you cite merely says that use of the word percent in non-scientific articles is common, not that it should be used. For the sake of consistency across our film articles, I would like to reinstate the percent sign on The Exorcist. Songwaters (talk) 21:00, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * That link only gives an example using the percent sign; it does not explicitly say that it should be used for RT reviews. But instead of arguing about this further, perhaps we should open a discussion. Because I'm probably not going to be the only editor to make this change.
