Re: Academy Award for Best Picture
Hi. We keep reverting one another's edits on the Best Picture / Academy Award articles. The Broadway Melody of 1936 is not a sequel to any other film, as far as I know. Do you have different information? Please let me know. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 04:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC))

Re: Talk:List of actors who have appeared in multiple Best Picture Academy Award winners#Adding actors
Hello. Thanks for your thorough and prompt reply to my question about Best Picture Academy Award nominees that were sequels. (See User talk:Joseph A. Spadaro#Academy Award for Best Picture.) I will read your response thoroughly before I reply back to you on that issue. Thanks again. Coincidentally, however -- another question just surfaced for me. And, I was surprised to see the coincidence that I should direct this, my second question, to you -- of all Wikipedians. I noticed that you had made quite a few changes to the following article: List of actors who have appeared in multiple Best Picture Academy Award winners. When I saw all of those new edits, especially the ones with red Wiki links, it reminded me of this comment that was made at the Talk Page for that article: Talk:List of actors who have appeared in multiple Best Picture Academy Award winners#Adding actors. That comment, essentially, asked editors to not add actors with red links (no Wiki articles) to that article's page. I remember thinking ... wow, all these new edits are certainly going to upset whoever made that Talk Page comment or suggestion. Then, lo and behold, I found that both parties were one and the same -- namely, you! That really surprised me. So, I was just curious. What prompted you to add all those new edits to the article, in light of your Talk Page concern? Or, conversely, why did that Talk Page issue concern you, in light of the fact that you subsequently added all those recent edits? I was just curious. Certainly, the two items are a contradiction in terms. Others might also be perplexed to see this. Perhaps you might want to add an updated comment to the Talk Page posting? Or perhaps just delete the original Talk Page post altogether? Either way, as it now stands, there are two contradictory messages out there -- both, ironically, from you. I was just curious about this, and would appreciate your feedback. I am assuming that you no longer support your own original post, and had a "change of heart" -- but I hate to assume things. So, please let me know if, indeed, you did have a change of heart on this issue. If so, I am curious why? I don't much substantively care one way or the other -- like I said, the situation perplexed and amused me -- and intrigued my curiosity as to how it all came about. That's all. Please fill me in on your thoughts. Thanks. With regard to this article (List of actors who have appeared in multiple Best Picture Academy Award winners), I don't really care much one way or the other -- to be honest. But, I would think it should be an article about big-name actors who have appeared in multiple Best Pictures ... as opposed to minor / extra's / "nobodies" who simply happened to chance upon minor ("extra") roles in multiple Best Pictures. In other words, it's vaguely interesting to know that a famous / well-known actor like Russell Crowe acted in 2 Best Pictures. The implication being that his great acting contributed to its Best Picture status -- in fact, multiple times. But, what's the relevance when some "no name" actor (some minor, insignificant extra) happened to chance into multiple minor / extra roles? I am just curious. Aren't all those red-link actors essentially minor extras ... insignificant "nobodies", as it were? Isn't that scenario exactly what your original Talk Page comment was attempting to address? Please let me know. Thanks. Also, I will reply to our discussion thread on Best Picture sequels in the few days or so, when I have more time to adequately do so. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro 05:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC))
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Academy Award for Best Picture has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. [Belinrahs | 'sup? | what'd I do?] 00:22, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
The recent edit you made to Academy Award for Best Picture constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. [Belinrahs | 'sup? | what'd I do?] 00:47, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I reverted that because the change is quite dramatic -- to the point it would need new citations to be kept. Thank you! [Belinrahs |
I noticed you apologised for the remark itself, but I thought I should notify you that this is completely incorrect. If by 'police' you mean people issuing warnings or doing anti-vandal work, there are a significant number more that are not administrators that are doing such things than there are administrators doing it. Telling people what they can and can not do when their edits are supported by policy makes no sense (maybe the warning wasn't, but he has every right to issue one).

Hello. I had not visited the above-named article in quite some time ... but I just recently did so. I noticed that you did quite a bit of work on this article ... in particular adding the new section about non-actors. Great job! Just wanted to acknowledge your contributions. Many thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:06, 19 January 2009 (UTC))
This is to ask for your input on Balalaika, MGM 1939. Though I'm a good editor/copy writer and have been working on it since August (09), this is my first major research project of any description, anywhere. User talk:Nehrams2020 has been kind enough to help me, and I'm hoping you will look the article over; I would really appreciate your comments and suggestions, especially additional free sources of information/photos, to round it off nicely. Thank you, Shir-El too 16:00, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Amigo, I noticed you've been adding extra actor names to the table of winners and nominees in Academy Award for Best Picture. Are you sure nonstarring actors are supposed to be included? —Coder Dan (talk) 07:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

To – User talk:TheLastAmigo. Hello. I see that you do a lot of editing at the following page: List of actors who have appeared in multiple Best Picture Academy Award winners. And, by looking at your annual "update postings", it seems to me that you like to keep this page current and "up to date". Now, when I look at the Chart on the following Talk Page (Talk:List of actors who have appeared in multiple Best Picture Academy Award winners#Adding actors, I noticed that several of the actors listed now have blue links (to newly-created articles), as opposed to red links (for no article existing on the actor). Specifically, the four actors are: Herbert Evans, James Millican, Suzanne Ridgeway, and Frank Wilcox. I was wondering ... is there any reason that you have not incorporated these blue-linked actors into the main article page? Or have you already done so? I was not sure as to the status of all this. And, I did not want to go in and make any incorrect edits. But, I assumed that there was a reason as to why you either: (A) purposely did not include them into the main article; or (B) purposely left them as blue-links in the Talk Page chart. But, I am confused as to the situation. Can you please give me your insights into this, so that one of us can make the appropriate / updated changes that may be necessary. Please let me know. Please reply at my Talk Page. Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:17, 19 February 2011 (UTC))
Could you please explain why you reverted this edit without explanation? The article (The Hobbit (2012 film)), and the talkpage (Talk:The Hobbit (film project)) are at different titles, which needs to be resolved. Skomorokh 01:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited List of fantasy films of the 2010s, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Luke Evans.

The file File:Mass Effect Paragon Lost Original Videogame Score cover.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Mass Effect: Paragon Lost#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated files))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated files))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
