Jane Fonda

The reason I removed the image is that, while Wikipedia does encourage use of images, it doesn't tend to support the use of screenshots/film images of the actor on the biography page. They are generally used on the pages for the film itself. The only time that a screenshot/film image would be appropriate would be if it is used to illustrate some particular point that the image uniquely reflects or better clarifies. Offhand, the example that comes to mind might be in an article about Robert De Niro, if the section discussed his willingness to gain weight for his role in ''Raging Bull'', but only if it covered something pertinent in the image. You don't often see a film image in the articles that carry a featured ↗ or good article ↗ status, and Fonda's is a good article ↗. Hopefully, that answers your question. Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:48, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
::Occasionally, some of them will, but there should be some critical commentary going along with it. In Bette Davis, Vivien Leigh, Judy Garland and Sharon Tate, each are featured articles that have extensive film details, which discusses specifics of the films in the text. I'm not completely convinced that Diane Keaton's does have that depth of commentary. For Jane Fonda's, there is only one sentence covering ''Barbarella''. But thanks for responding. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:::It would be quite appropriate for ''Barbarella ↗''. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
I don't mean to intrude- but I added several of the images you've mentioned, and most of them are free of copyright which completely changes their suitability. All of the images in Judy Garland ↗ are free images from theatrical trailers that are not subject to copyright. Most of the images in Bette Davis ↗ and Vivien Leigh ↗ are the same - not subject to copyright and carefully chosen for that reason. At least a couple of the images at Sharon Tate ↗ are free and the ones that are not free are accompanied by discussion of the specific role/film. I can't comment on Diane Keaton ↗ as I have not added those images. As Jane Fonda is a more recent performer it would be difficult to find film images that have fallen into public domain whereas the films of Davis, Leigh and Garland predate the copyrighting of film trailers which was only widely introduced in 1963. If you click on any of the images in any of these articles you'll see which ones are free and which ones are not. Hope this helps. Rossrs (talk) 14:57, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

:Hi Aquila. Thanks for the message. Generally all trailers prior to 1963 were released without a copyright notice. Before 1977 ''some'' trailers were released without a copyright notice. If the ''Barbarella'' trailer was released without a copyright notice it would be OK to use. All trailers released after 1977 are assumed to be subject to copyright. I'm sorry, when I commented previously I was assuming that the image was from the film, rather than the trailer, which was wrong of me to assume. Rossrs (talk) 15:14, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Re:List of female Nobel laureates

Those images were all missing some vital information. For example, :File:ARB-Alva-Myrdal.jpg ↗ and :File:Irène Joliot-Curie.jpg ↗ have no author, while others have improper licensing. -- <span style="color:#FF8C00;">Scorpion</span><sup style="color:black;">0422</sup> ↗ 21:38, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yes, because the page is a FL ↗, every image needs to be properly licensed. See this ↗ for more information.

Hi. For some reason your restoration of the "Flight 11" section in Hijackers in the September 11 attacks ↗ appeared to me to be its removal. Sorry about that.

Breakout role/breakout character

Hello, Aquila89. I do not get the following statement by you on the Megan Fox ↗ article: "breakout role is not related to breakout character." ↗

I ask, "How so?" Breakout character and breakout role are synonymous with each other. They are used interchangeably all the time, and mean the same thing in every context. This is why I reverted you on this matter. I mean, how is the word "role" different than "character" in this case? Flyer22 (talk) 01:18, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Mila and Ashton

"They've been seen together, but neither made an official statement about it, so I don't think we should include this. Wikipedia is not a gossip magazine. Also, it's only have been a few months, it's not notable enough yet to be included in her biography."

:I'm (and others) are NOT turning Wiki into a gossip magazine, contrary to your silly assertion by mere mentioning in a short sentence a serious relationship that has been reported by many, many reputable media sources (ex, The Huffington Post), whether the two people acknowledge it publicly or not! So, if they *never* say anything 'officially' (from their publicists?), Wiki can't say a damn word about it??? Since when is Wiki dependent on what someone else says (or doesn't say) about anything? This makes absolutely no sense! After what arbitrary length of time does it take for Wiki to mention an ongoing relationship since it has now been 5 months? Is it: 6 months? 9 months? 1 year? 1 1/2 years? 2 years? WHEN? This also makes no sense, and is entirely and completely arbitrary for any admin. to say, which I presume you are an admin. Isn't there *some* guideline by now on time length in Wiki's vast arsenal of rules and regulations regarding serious relationships if they aren't mentioned by the couple themselves? [Is their privacy (not accurate in Mila-Ashton's case now) on 'going public' more important than Wiki reporting the fact?] If not, maybe there should be one? Just asking on that last idea. Please reply to these important concerns, because I'm sure with other couple-relationships after a decent period of time (3-4 months perhaps), <b>with reports also of these two now living together</b>, this problem in reporting it on Wiki is going to occur over and over again. And that crazy idea you mentioned with, "The lead section usually doesn't need citations" <b>leaves Wiki wide open for anyone to say anything with no documentation needed merely by placing it in the first paragraph</b>! How inconsistent is that with the general rule Wiki pounds into every editor's head that each fact or idea posted needs a reference? In Mila's case, there are already ref.'s on her birth name and birthdate in the first line, so your point on no ref.'s needed (in the opening para.) is already broken and totally inoperable, not to mention inconsistent and arbitrary. Wiki is a mess of inconsistencies and arbitrary rulings (i.e., deletions of properly sourced facts) by whomever wrote these rules/ideas! Thanks. --Katydidit (talk) 21:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

::Regarding your edit saying "as far as we know, they're not partners, just dating", my question is: how would you describe the difference between dating someone and being their partner? Also, ''Huffington Post'' is most definitely '''''NOT''''' at all a reliable source, {{ping|Katydidit}}- they are known to frequently fabricate information, particularly regarding politics (they have a liberal bias).

WP:CITEVAR ↗

Hello. As I've seen you changing reference formats on several occasions, I presume you are unaware of WP:CITEVAR ↗, which basically says you should not change the established format of references in an article. Cheers, <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 19:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
:As it says, "it is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor". This is the same for things like WP:ENGVAR ↗ or WP:DATEVAR ↗, where if there are inconsistencies, you go back to first decent length version of the article (i.e. anything more than a couple of sentences) and look at the reference/English type/date format. <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 20:26, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
::Yes, really the original format should be followed if you want to make an article consistent. Cheers, <span style="color: orange;">Number</span> <span style="color: green;">5</span><span style="color: blue;">7</span> ↗ 01:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Zemmour's declaration of candidacy

Thanks for your contribution to Eric Zemmour ↗, in particular, your improvements to the ''Le Figaro'' citation. Unfortunately, I had to remove the YouTube video, though, because it is a WP:PRIMARY ↗ source, and Wikipedia prefers WP:SECONDARY ↗ sources when available. In this case, secondary news sources about Zemmour's declaration of candidacy are plentiful. Since there was already a highly reliable source in the article (the Figaro citation) nothing else is needed there. If you can find a copy of the video captioned in English, you could try adding it to the "External links" section; but as primary material entirely in a foreign language, it's unsuitable for use as a citation in the article. Thanks again for your contribution, and happy editing! Mathglot (talk) 19:40, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi Aquila89! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at :Trumpism ↗ that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections ↗ or reverting obvious vandalism ↗. Any edit that changes the ''meaning'' of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit ↗ for more information. Thank you.  – S. Rich (talk) 21:02, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Not-broken links

I see that in this edit ↗, you replaced a wikilink to a redirect page with a piped link directly to the page that was redirected to. I understand that instinct, but Wikipedia standard is that we actually prefer that simple link to a redirect page. You can see this preference discussed at WP:NOTBROKEN ↗. As such, I request that you undo that edit. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 00:27, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
