Film notability and sourcing
Hi! I wanted to drop you a note about film notability and sourcing. I noted that you had requested that an article be restored at REFUND, however I couldn't find any sourcing to show that the film exists or passes WP:NFILM. I took a look at some of the other articles you'd edited and I wanted to kind of give you an overview of sourcing and notability for films (and articles in general).
Basically, films can only pass NFILM if they have coverage in independent and reliable sources. What counts as a reliable source is fairly narrow when it comes to Wikipedia, honestly. IMDb is not considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia because anyone can add and edit a listing on there and at most, it's considered to be a routine database listing. E-commerce sites like Amazon are also not considered to be reliable but are especially something to avoid placing on an article because e-commerce sites are seen as inherently promotional since their primary goal is to sell you something. Any other goal is pretty much secondary to that main goal. Reviews can count towards notability, but only specific types of reviews. Ratings on IMDb and audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes does not count towards notability since anyone can create an account on that site and leave a rating, so the only time that something like that should be mentioned in an article at all would be in cases like Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. (He tried to get his fans to upvote the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, only for it to backfire hilariously.)
So what can be used? Reviews in major newspapers can be used, as can some reviews in select film websites. Since you focus on horror, the main websites that tend to be usable are Rue Morgue, Fangoria (their rep has gone down, but they're still generally seen as a RS), Ain't It Cool News (same situation here), HorrorNews.net, Dread Central, JoBlo.com's Arrow in the Head, and Bloody Disgusting. There are some other sites that fall along the RS scale, but these are the biggies. Sad thing is, most of the horror websites out there are seen as self-published sources since the majority of them don't have any sort of overview of their editorial process and don't get frequently used as a source in very reliable sources. The longevity of the site doesn't really make it more reliable on here, unfortunately. (On a side note, have you ever checked out Culture Crypt? It's not seen as a RS on here, much to my sorrow, but I love checking out their reviews since they're honest and fair.)
Now what this means is that if the sourcing isn't out there, the film fails NFILM and shouldn't be on Wikipedia. A film article typically needs about 3-4 sources to really pass notability guidelines and two of those should be reviews. The only time you can get by with less (like two sources) is when those sources claim that the film has achieved something so major that it'd pass on that guideline alone, otherwise it'd be seen to fail notability guidelines. Also, if you have a lot of sources but the only things that you have so far are short announcements that the movie is going to release, that's most likely not going to be enough to pass notability guidelines unless the sources are over a broad period of time and are fairly in-depth.
I hope that none of this discourages you - I just wanted to give you a bit of an overview as to why I didn't restore the article for you. My fear is that it fails notability guidelines and would eventually get deleted anyway. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 21:51, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
Your contributed article, Neil hansen
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Neil hansen. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Heil Hansen. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Heil Hansen. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Majavah (t/c) 06:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Bill Wooton moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Bill Wooton, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

2021 New York City mayoral election
In regard to this edit, you wrote, "Every Wikipedia election article I've ever seen included a blank results table before the election occurred. There's no reason not to include this now." Have you seen 2017 New York City mayoral election? As seen in this edit, the blank results table wasn't added until the day before the primary. In 2013, the results tables weren't added until after the primary had actually taken place. By contrast, the primary is now more than 4 months away. The reasons not to include the tables now is that (a) they take up a good deal of space without providing any additional information and (b) some of the candidates listed may not even wind up qualifying for the ballot. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:39, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
- Take a look at a few of the pages in this category. I guarantee you that if you look in the revision histories, you'll see blank results tables in most if not all of them, some even added several months in advance of the actual elections. There is clear precedent for doing this. That being said, I really don't care that much and don't feel like getting into a whole debate over this. So if you *really* feel the need to remove the tables for whatever reason, then go ahead.

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks! AllegedlyHuman (talk) 21:31, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
For non-presidential US elections, the established consensus is that we do not have the right to make a judgement of who is and isn't a major candidate, as this raises big neutrality issues. As the election progresses, more of the frivolous candidates will drop out or be disqualified until the primary leaves candidate one on top. Curbon7 (talk) 01:56, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

2021 Seattle mayoral election
Candidates have been removed by you from the infobox for the 2021 Seattle Mayoral Election and you have stated the reason that "Only candidates who average 5% or more in polls can be included in the infobox" on July 13 and " this is the policy" on July 15. There is no policy in Wikipedia or the democratic process that only candidates with approval ratings by polls may show up in info boxes, other media, just as there is not a policy that candidates must have a certain approval rating to be on ballots. Your edits based on bias and effect a deliberate attempt to interfere with people choices by limiting their access to information. You are using Wikipedia in an unethical manner. -- laura musikanski.

Vandalism has a very specific definition here, and removing terrible, low quality images you screengrabbed off youtube doesn't meet that definition.

- Drmies, there's been a pretty wide debate over adding images to all election articles. BottleOfChocolateMilk has taken it upon himself to upload a slew of generally low-quality images and add them in galleries to every election article under the sun, when there's no consensus to do so and the benefit is negligible at best. I think it would be best if these sections were generally removed, or at least if BottleOfChocolateMilk would stop adding them without input from the applicable WikiProject. Many of these images are of horrendously poor quality. Toa Nidhiki05 19:42, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- That's what I thought I saw. Bottle, you have to stop this. If anyone reverts you, that is their good right: you are editing against consensus. Please don't go any further--discuss the matter. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 19:45, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Per WP:OTHERCONTENT, you can't remove something on the basis of "well other pages don't do this," so I don't think the argument that you need consensus holds very much weight. And Drmies, I started a discussion on the North Carolina page and nobody cared. If every decision on Wikipedia required a drawn-out discussion, there would never be any changes on Wikipedia. I seriously don't know what you expect me to do here. If it's their "good right" to revert me is it not my "good right" to do the exact same thing? Toa Nidhiki05, you are the only person objecting to these. None of the thousands of other editors who look at these pages every day seem to object. It really seems like you have a personal bias against these galleries and are using this consensus thing as an excuse; whenever you remove one of these your edit summary is always "There is no need for a photo gallery," not "There is no consensus for this." Once again, there is literally nothing for me to do. One random person can just come along and say "this is wrong" and if I try to undo it then suddenly I'm being "disruptive." And if I try to start a discussion then nobody even replies to it, probably because nobody editing these pages has any strong opinions on the galleries besides Toa Nidhiki05. Is that not a tacit consensus in and of itself? I mean that's the closest we're going to get to a consensus on this because like I said, when I tried to make a discussion, nobody responded. Again, if we were operating under your rules then there would never be any changes made to Wikipedia. One person could just come along and say "um no, I have taken it upon myself to decide this is bad, if you want to do this you need to start a discussion. And if nobody replies to that discussion or even remotely cares then sorry bud, there's nothing you can do. And don't you dare undo my undo because that's disruptive." Bottom line: we don't need consensus for this, we can't possibly get consensus because we three seem to be the only people who care about the galleries, and we kind of have consensus already, because these galleries have existed for months and nobody has removed them besides Toa Nidhiki05. I really don't feel like getting into another argument over pictures on the screen, so if you really feel as though one or two rows of pictures destroys the entire quality of these pages, then go ahead and remove them. I just hope that you'll apply the same logic to everyone else and remove every section on those pages that didn't get explicit consensus beforehand. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 20:06, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry, but this paragraph is way too long. I see your first argument, and consensus always holds weight. I see your conclusion and it says you won't fight over it, so that's good. Yes, I try to apply the same logic everywhere, but "remove every section that didn't get explicit consensus beforehand, sorry, but that's BS, and that is not what we are saying at all. You changed things, you get reverted, you change em back, you get reverted again--don't be surprised if that raises eyebrows. I saw Talk:2022 United States Senate election in North Carolina, and Toa Nidhiki told you to discuss that on the WikiProject page, which is much more visible than one little local page, but you didn't. And what you are doing here, this yelling, that is not OK, ever. If Toa Nidhiki wants to revert all of those changes, they have my blessing. Oh, I saw "random editor"--they're not random, not at all.

Endorsements edit
Thank you for valuing the sourcing of endorsements on the Nebraska Congressional Districts elections for 2022 page. Because I was limited in space, I wanted to give you further context about my Undo.
I found you eliminated multiple sources in the same edit. This makes it really hard to go through and check the validity of each source, as well as to find secondary sourcing when needed. This is a pretty important issue for an encyclopedia: did you research to find other sourcing before making this edit? If you did, then thank you, and try to make those edits individually (ie. delete all the endorsements for Source A and state why Source A is unsatisfactory and post that edit. Then, delete all the endorsements for Source B and state why Source B is unsatisfactory and post that edit. Etc.). If you didn't, please try to in the future.
Secondly, there were edits made to phrasing and grammar mixed in, at least (there were so many edits, I did not try to find other confounding edits). This is especially unhelpful because somebody would need to undo your phrasing in addition to the rest of your edits if they disagreed and sometimes (I am not accusing you of this) bad actors can "sneak in" nefarious edits amongst other edits which look like good faith changes.

Re: your revert
Hello.
You did this revert with the following edit summary: "That doesn't really make sense, their articles were titled that way partially to distinguish them from other people with the same name. Why would you use a middle initial for only some people on a page?".
There are several errors in this rationale.
First, if someone is generally known as Anthony Brown, and there is a need for disambiguation (which there is in this case), you don't throw in a middle initial unless that is how he is known. You add a disambiguator – i.e. to Anthony Brown (politician). If there is a need to further disambiguate (which there is), it should be Anthony Brown (Maryland politician).
See WP:COMMONNAME, section Parenthetical disambiguation ("Adding a disambiguating term in parentheses after the ambiguous name is Wikipedia's standard disambiguation technique when none of the other solutions lead to an optimal article title."), and WP:Middle names, section Middle names and initials ("Adding given names, or their abbreviations, merely for disambiguation purposes (if that format of the name is not commonly used to refer to the person) is not advised.").
Second, one should not use middle initials (or conceal them by piping) for different persons for consistency reasons throughout an article. The consistency Wikpedia uses is the WP:COMMONNAME consistency: people are referred to by their common name in Wikipedia. If one person is known as John H. Doe and another person is known Charlie Johnson, that's not a problem.
It appears to me that several of the articles on people named (and linked) in the above article need to be moved.
Cheers.

Ways to improve 2023 Tucson mayoral election
Hello, BottleOfChocolateMilk,
Thank you for creating 2023 Tucson mayoral election.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Hi - whether a previous election is notable or not has no bearing on the assessment of notability of an upcoming election. At this point (October 2022, more than a year from the election) there appear insufficient sources to indicate that the 2023 Tucson mayoral election is notable. There are not sufficient reliable sources in the article to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:EVENTCRIT. (There is no consensus on the reliability of Ballotpedia and that piece does not satisfy SIGCOV) WP:CRYSTAL indicates that articles about almost certain future events are allowed, but that does not mean they are excluded from the requirements to satisfy the GNG. Please add sufficient reliable sourcing to satisfy the GNG before removing the tag. Regards,
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Goldsztajn}}
. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~

Gray bar in infoboxes
72.132.8.90, stop removing the gray bar from the infoboxes. There are plenty of pages for nonpartisan elections on Wikipedia that use the gray bar (because GRAY IS LITERALLY THE COLOR FOR NONPARTISAN CANDIDATES AND DOES NOT CORRESPOND TO A POLITICAL PARTY), because it greatly helps the formatting. As I pointed out, having no color bar breaks the District 3 infobox as there is no visual separation between the first and second rows. There is no party listed for anyone anywhere on the page, nobody will assume that the color gray represents one unnamed party everyone is a member of. There is no "confusion" and you can't keep undoing this because "it's confusing because I say so" BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 07:39, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- there no need for nonpartisan color just add the candidates photos is its confusing 74.62.14.52 (talk) 19:04, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- its just best to have the top two like la city has and not worry about colors there really is no point to have color because some people tend to change colors into a political party link as a good faith edit and confused the color with a party 2603:8001:2902:64F4:3582:F61F:F13F:2F39 (talk) 03:01, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Nobody does that. Only you. Literally every other nonpatisan election has the grey boxes. You just seem like you want to have something just because you say so. reppoptalk 21:46, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Colwidth
In regard to this edit, you are correct that the colwidth parameter of Template:Endorsements box does not require the use of "em". However, it is not the case that "adding the "em" breaks it and makes it so there are no columns". Looking at 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries#Endorsements right now, I see that Ron DeSantis has "colwidth=60em" and his endorsements are in 2 columns. Donald Trump has "colwidth=60" and his endorsements are (at least for me) shown in 7 columns. If you have a different size monitor, your experience may vary. If you are seeing something very different from what I am seeing as to DeSantis's and Trump's endorsements, let me know. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 08:09, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Metropolitan90 I see five columns on Trump's, not seven. When the "em" is removed I only see one column. Also, on DeSantis's box I only see one column. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 09:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

Hey! Saw the note on the reversion edit from me adding (back; which I didn't even realize that I was the second person to put in a candidate photo table lol), so I thought I'd leave a message on your board to discuss it! While I disagree with the idea that not having half the photos makes it "ugly", admittedly, it does make it look a little incomplete. However, other folks (myself included) are trying to get usable photos for all the candidates soon; for example, I got a photo of Freddie O'Connell tonight. Not to mention, keeping the spots open for others to upload photos leads to other people uploading photos they have of the candidates.

Edit war warning: 2024 Republican Party presidential primaries
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Prcc27 (talk) 21:30, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
