 * Hello, I would appreciate you teaching me what kind of policies and guidelines out there that you cited to reverse my good-faith edit at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Simon_Kassianides&diff=1047325505&oldid=1046325504&diffmode=source? Wouldn't my edit add context to the role, when the fictional role doesn't have its own page? Simon is a great actor. I have seen him on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Nikita, etc. But this isn't about him. It's more about the role. The role was first mentioned in Casino Royale (2006 film), but it finally has a face to it until Quantum of Solace. However, the Quantum page doesn't even list him to clarify this role in this entire Bond/Vesper Lynd story arc. This doesn't seem right. Thanks. Supermann (talk) 13:27, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Your edit was inappropriate and disruptive. Dollyplay (talk) 23:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I know people like to dig up archived discussions in years beyond, so to set the record straight here, User:Dollyplay, User:Triosdeity and User:Sleptlapps are all sock puppets of User:Nyxaros2. The extent this person is willing to hurt Wikipedia is astounding. And I am not Gravedancing. Supermann (talk) 17:35, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Vesper Lynd. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Dollyplay (talk) 14:55, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.


 * You are so condescending. On Vesper Lynd, I don't see the other "played by" being deleted by you, incl. baccarat expert Evelyn Tremble (Peter Sellers). There are other trivial stuff on there that I appreciate and don't mind. But shouldn't you be fair? Thanks. Supermann (talk) 15:36, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

 * If you can find a substantial reliably sourced review other than a local newspaper for Empire of Dust, the articles will be kept. I tried for an hour or so this morning, and couldn't find one. There is only one effective way to stop deletion: find additional sources; AfD will almost always keep in situations like this  if good  sources can be found. . Argument doesn't work nearly as well.   DGG ( talk ) 01:34, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd essentially concur with DGG here. At the moment your're disruptive, heading for a block, and the way you are contributing to discussions are hindering rather than helping..  I read a few people around who would likely!vote keep Hogan given identification of three or possibly two quality RS sources.  Obviously is Kingdom of Dust became a cult classic it would be helpful to Hogan, it practice from non-RS reviews it possibly seems a possibly plausible concept seemingly poorly executed which bombed and I don't see it being notable on WikiPedia.  But ANI to a block will likely happen if you don't change behavior.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:40, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I deeply appreciate your offer here and on the DRV relist. I know it probably can't overcome the three endorses there, but I am grateful for your lone voice. If TheBirdsShedTears could really refrain from their endless innuendo and accusation of COI, I will behave myself and would have shut up already. I have never petitioned to delete anyone else's article and that's just not how I have rolled. DGG has helped me grow over the last four years. And if everybody is like you with such a collaborative mindset, I would have had no beef with anyone. Again, I am sorry if I offended anyone. Have a good day. Thank you so much.

 * 's call the Dublin!Live paid association and linkage to the AfD is possible, plausible or even probable. One needs to think like a streetwise Templebar Dub barman. If I'm not mistake Leeson Street, as well as at least previously having a reputation as a Red-light district, is also if I am not mistaken the home of Hogan's agency, and it it possible they (or someone) were monitoring his Wiki page and triggered them set up an interview with Dublin!Live/Hogan.  It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a press release or similar issued relating to an entity at AfD.  Speaking from experience if one spends a lot of time researching a subject there is a risk of developing a COI and there is a risk of doing something off-wiki which might mean a COI has developed .... (eg contacting the press), and if that is the case a COI would have developed and would need to be declared. But please stay calm, don't accuse anyone of anything.  The easiest way to drove cattle or get them to go into a supermarket is simply to walk them in gently and not to excite them.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:16, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * To add another example of how friendly I always am, I added a COI on the Janet Yang page as seen here, as I was learning how to do BLP on others and I wanted to be fair and uphold the standards. But I have never hunted down the page creator Sophyu667 like TheBirdsShedTears has been treating me for one single time. I also did not propose deletion to the Janet Yang page, as I found the knowledge about this person helpful, even if outdated. Is she as notable as Stephen Hogan? Hard to tell if I apply all the stringent requirement that a lot of the enforcers have been saying. Hopefully she is. And I really don't mind her page's existence. That's who I am. More knowledge is better than no knowledge. Please don't delete Sophyu667's work even though it seems it's their only work. Thanks. Supermann (talk) 19:46, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Happy Saturday. I can't find a review, but here is the British Board of Film Classification page Hostage | BBFC. If producing, directing, distributing movies are easy, all of us will be in Hollywood right now, making millions. The movie is now widely available for streaming. https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Enemy-Lines-Elyes-Gabel/dp/B099P52Z6H Previously, it doesn't seem to be available in the United States. Thanks and have a great weekend. Supermann (talk) 14:46, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. The thread is Supermann. Thank you. Djm-leighpark (talk) 15:17, 14 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding Take the High Road to Stephen Hogan's filmography. If you refer to List of Take the High Road characters, he was listed on there as even having a "debut appearance" without any citation way before I got interested. TCM Movies if not Turner Classic Movies even claimed he was a child actor on the soap opera per Stephen Hogan - Turner Classic Movies (tcm.com), "He made his acting debut as a child in the Scottish soap opera 'Take The High Road,' but didn't return to the screen for fifteen years." Obviously, someone else may say TCM is not a reliable source and all that, but user generated, etc. I defer to your best judgment and experience. Many thanks again.

60 Minutes With
I am really confused how you ended up with this diff. What you wrote is very much not what the article said. The comparison to Buried occurred in this quote directly preceding the one in that article: "The low budget constraints are visible here within the one set, but much like (the bigger budget) 'Buried' which was predominantly filmed in a far smaller set, the limitations do not hinder the progression of the narrative." Could you explain this for me, please? &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 16:07, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

While I understand that the language barrier is understandable, I still see some problems with a few of your other edits to the article on Kingdom of Dust. For example, you wrote here that you fixed spelling errors despite not actually doing that, and your edit summary here claimed you were going to remove text when instead you were adding some. You might find you have a less difficult time contributing to Chinese Wikipedia which is written in your native language. They recently lost several editors from the mainland for various reasons, and I am sure they would welcome your contributions adding American films there. I mean look how many English-language movies are missing from there! I'll be sure to check out Buried though on an unrelated note. { &#8211; MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 17:58, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi MJL. English is not my native language, so maybe I was lost in translation when two native speakers said I caused confusion. But in my view, the two paragraphs are next to each other, i didn't mean to imply anything on acting alone, even though Buried did have some acting awards nominated/winning for Ryan Reynolds. My larger goal is to pit Buried against Kingdom of Dust. And because Djm-leighpark mentioned this interview, I got to watch Buried last night for free on my otherwise annually subscribed Amazon Prime Video. Please help improve it if you can. Buried is a decent film. If the reviewer pit it against Kingdom, I think we could mention it, though I may not have a Manual of Style essay/guideline that I could pull up to back up my view. Many thanks also for your earlier support. Supermann (talk) 16:49, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
 * I am now significantly more confused than before. Just because some guy on his podcast compared the two films doesn't mean we need to do the same.
 * Ok on not comparing Buried to Kingdom here. It's 2 against 1. I defer to your judgment and long experience. The first example you gave here, if not fixed, would create an error in the reference section, if not mistaken. The spelling errors didn't necessarily mean errors on word spelling. The second example here is removal of puffery as said in the summary, if any, to remove the accusation of COI and a flattering portrait of Stephen Hogan's acting performance.
 * No. I won't contribute to Chinese Wikipedia for now, only because 500 Million + Chinese netizens can't contribute to it.
 * Maybe you might change your mind after actually watching Buried. I wouldn't keep my hopes up. I promise. Supermann (talk) 18:10, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
