DR - Miskin seeking Dispute Resolution regarding 300 dispute. Citations - Offline sources, citeweb templates and bears. Oh,my. Subpages - Disc. on creating subpages as work area (guide) (assembly). Googoosh - Comment on new infobox stuff. Highlander controversy - Finding an English language equiv cite for a plagiarism story, more on citeweb referencing and reflist tag. Category location - dealing with all those wacky categories that find themselves attached to articles. The postman swore in Hungarian, so it must be part of 'category: hungarian films'. Sheesh. Nancy Reagan Lead - Disc. whether artlcle lead requires expansion (I think so). xxxxx stuff - Some stuff that I cannot really relate here without the Powers That Be scampering in and putting 'x's on the relevent text. In truth, it's a boring little dispute that I have no involvement or interest in. Re: "Liar" - Why do I keep assuming the worst form this guy? He's nice enough and smart enough; we just keep ending up on opposite sides of disputes. Kind of a bummer... Re: Images - Activist admins axing article attributes sans asking (lol) Re: - Only Nixon could go to China, and only I could work with Mardavich to find a workable solution. Nan's POB - Disc. re: citing better sources as to NR's place of birth Nancy Reagan - Disc. re: Nan's relative importanc ein multiple projects,a nd my misunderstanding of a category/wikiproject protocol (ie, live and learn). Okay - Apology gone sideways, as the admin didn't really seem to care one way or the other Ronald Reagan third Opinion - a content dispute that was apparently resolved over the weekend with no input from me (I was playing frisbee with the dog and the gf). Spider-Man 3 - Disc. about content edits in SM3, again resolved while I was away in the Real World. Braveheart Edits Sure if you feel that some of the information should be covered in a production section feel free to start one and put it there. The issue is of course is that this is a movie that quite literally had a cast of thousands - and that the extras were not just "extras" eg (out of work actors) but part-time soldiers who were coached by teams of stunt-men and then came up with their own routines. Killing each other convincingly for a whole 30-40 second take can be quite hard to maintain. I happen to know, I worked for 8+ weeks on Braveheart. I dont believe actors could have done it --Sf 22:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC) Well then, you can see how it might be inappropriate to cite yourself as a source, or give yourself credit in the Cast section. You will also have to excuse me if I do not take your claim of having worked on the Braveheart film on its face. Ever since the Essjay nonsense, it has become extraordinarily difficult for a person to retain their perfect anonymity while being able to make extraordinary claims, like you made (claiming to have actually worked on the movie). If this is in fact the case, bravo; the movie was wonderfully entertaining. If it is not, then you might wish to explore the extraordinary penalties placed upon those who falsely claim expertise. That said, we don't really mention extras - even large groups of professional soldiers - in the Cast section. I've been knocking out the Production section in my guide area (but as work has been kicking my arse something fierce lately, I've not had time to take it from guide to assembly), you are welcome to contribute. I've got references already set up; I just have to assemble them. I certainly meant to include the Irish Army reserves there, speciically as Spielberg also used them for Saving Private Ryan. If you have pictures made whilst on the set, you might want to consider addign them in on the Discussion page, and since you yourself took them, there's no worry of copyright infringement. As well, if you can speak as to your position in the staff, you can address and clarify such matters (of course, you will need to cite them, as primary sources of information are always less "verifiable" than secondary ones). And welcome to the article! Cheers! Arcayne (cast a spell) 23:11, 7 May 2007 (UTC) I ache to smash you out of existence! To drive your cursed face from my memories forever! LOL, yeah, fur speedos are kind of creepy. I think though that seeing Gerard Butler, or even Pitt as He-Man will cast too many Leonidas and Achilles(sp) shadows. They need a no-name. No-names a generally best for these franchise parts.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:13, 8 May 2007 (UTC) You have been blocked I have blocked both you and Viriditas for 24 hours for edit warring on Children of Men. Heimstern Läufer 21:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC) I would submit that i have not edit-warred. I am the one submitted a 3RR violation because the violater had reverted/undone previous edits, reinstating uncited statements. My edits were well-cited, and I did ask for mediation, which the other user refused. I did look for ways to resolve the matter (even allowing an impartial editor to weigh in), and the other editor repeatedly refused to even consider it As well, my edits maintained the article in its current state, which is the supposed purpose of blocking (as opposed to punishing editors). I don't feel that I have earned this block, and would ask to have it removed. Arcayne (cast a spell) 21:26, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
