Cinemascore

The Hunger Games (film) doesn't include Cinemascore. Do you think we should add it? I added it to The Hunger Games (film series) earlier but I'm not sure how best to fit it around the existing commentary in the Hunger Games article. If you think it is a good idea give it a shot, I'll back you up. -- 109.78.242.41 (talk) 23:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Maybe it's not worth bothering with. Thanks anyway. -- 109.78.242.41 (talk) 00:21, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Spring training

Hi - I saw your updates to MLB 2020 team pages; the term spring training should not be capitalized. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:06, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

@Dmoore5556: I copied that info from 2020 Tampa Bay Rays season, which was originally capitalized. Songwaters (talk) 22:50, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Regardless of source, it's not correct to capitalize the term. Dmoore5556 (talk) 22:52, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

@Dmoore5556: All fixed. Songwaters (talk) 23:14, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

February 2021 - editing history surround infoboxes.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Thank you

Thank you for your gracious comments at the talk page for Ian Fleming. Your apology is warmly accepted, and is reciprocated if you thought I was comparing you to the American ex-president. I referred merely to the latter's unconventional attitude to facts. You are plainly sensitive to facts, as well as courteous to your fellow editors, and we can amicably agree to differ about whether an info-box would be helpful to the reader for this particular article. Permit me to add that I am strongly pro IBs where they can adequately summarise the article. Best wishes, Tim riley talk 19:46, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tim riley: I also accept your reciprocal apology. I've gone ahead and asked Jojhutton on his talk page to stop assuming bad faith and be civil (though I've clearly failed). Songwaters (talk) 19:59, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Splendid. I'm glad we are on friendly terms. Best, Tim riley talk 20:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for quality articles such as 2001 Major League Baseball contraction plan, for updating baseball seasons, films and List of George Floyd protests in the United States, for "The infobox is not unnecessary clutter that discourages people from editing or reading the article" and implementing consensus, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2547 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

You said that well ;) - I said somewhere today that what we tried to reform in 2013 is happening right now, and you are part of it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

DYK for 22 vs. Earth

On 30 May 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 22 vs. Earth, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 22 vs. Earth), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Percentages

Thank you for providing a needed update to The Exorcist. But do keep this in mind. Daniel Case (talk) 04:12, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

@Daniel Case: When referring to Rotten Tomatoes scores, the universal norm on film articles is to use the percent sign, as this is what Rotten Tomatoes uses and is outlined in the Manual of Style for film articles. Also, the MOS you cite merely says that use of the word percent in non-scientific articles is common, not that it should be used. For the sake of consistency across our film articles, I would like to reinstate the percent sign on The Exorcist. Songwaters (talk) 21:00, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

That link only gives an example using the percent sign; it does not explicitly say that it should be used for RT reviews.

But instead of arguing about this further, perhaps we should open a discussion. Because I'm probably not going to be the only editor to make this change. Daniel Case (talk) 21:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
