July 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you like this place and decide to stay and edit constructively. Please read WP:OVERLINK. Ask me on my talk page if you have any questions or would like more information. Thank you.--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 21:11, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is in response: I have no idea how to type on here but I hope I get this right. My whole discussion with this person who kept reverting my changes (although it was mostly one-sided since he did not care at all) was that how does having it linked twice hurt anything? Sure, in a paragraph or anything along those lines, it would look ridiculous to post the same word or phrase as a link over and over again. But this is a table; big difference in my mind. Also the linking page says "tables, in which each row should be able to stand on its own." is an exception to the rule and I believe each row should stand on it's own. Someone should be able to see Star Trek on the table and immediately be able to see and click on a link to the studio that produced the film. Am I wrong or unreasonable in thinking so? --A confused, but helpful guy--

If you click here you will see that it says "Do not link here". But you are right, in most cases, "tables, in which each row should be able to stand on its own.". But because it says "Don't link here. the rule doesn't apply. But thank you for your help, it is much appreciated. I hope you decide to stay and edit Wikipedia with us. Thank you.--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 21:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you responding but the thing is that place where you had me click and it says "Do not link" was not always there. When I first came across the page and saw there were no links, I went and gave them links. There was nothing at the time in the text indicating that this should not be linked. It was only after some person kept reverting my edits that they put that in there. At least to the extent of my knowledge. --Helpful guy--

NEW RESPONSE:

Sorry to have to request your help once again, but someone keeps deleting what I believe to be important information on the page "2009 in film". Below the table of box office earnings, I put:

In total, twenty-eight films released in 2009 have grossed more than $100 million, reaching blockbuster status. Four films have grossed more than $400 million, reaching "international blockbuster" status.

This is on every other page of film related Wikipedia, like 2008 in film, 2007 in film, etc.. One day I came to the page to see it was gone and made the effort to get the code to put it back on. Every other day though someone keeps deleting it and putting their own information about something which is kind of irrelevant at this point, but I don't bother trying to fix that because it's not that important. Deleting the important I keep trying to put back above is something rude and I hope you can fix this. It's on every other film page and should be there too. Please help out, I feel like I can't use Wikipedia like it was intended to be used.

Thank you, Itri12

Hi Itri! There is a discussion about this information and why it has been removed on the talk page. We would appreciate you weighing in on your opinion there instead of reverting edits with no explanation. Thanks! BOVINEBOY2008 22:29, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
