More on Steve Jobs[edit]
Hi Erik, I left the following note on a DAB admin page and mentioned you - I tried to use wikimarkup to alert you, but for some reason it didn't work. What is the short cut for alerting another editor? Here is the URL for the moment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:BD2412#Steve_Jobs_DAB_question Thanks -Classicfilms (talk) 17:03, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hello! You can use the {{ul}} template and write it like this:
{{ul|Erik}}. Will check in to see what the editor says unless I am pinged. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:06, 12 October 2015 (UTC)- Excellent. Will keep you posted. -Classicfilms (talk) 23:01, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Erik - I won't revert your edits on the Steve Jobs film article - but the film is a work of fiction that uses some real events and Sorkin himself has gone on the record to say so. I'm not certain how the Wikipedia can sort that out but somehow it should be apparent in the article. Here is one interview with Sorkin:

- I'm posting this on your talk page rather than the article page because I didn't want to turn it into a full fledged debate -- just more of an fyi. All the best, -Classicfilms (talk) 18:11, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
- Classicfilms, I started a discussion on the article's talk page. I completely understand where you're coming from. I read this earlier this week, for example. But as I mentioned at the discussion, the label is predominant. It does not mean the label cannot be challenged, but it needs more of an explanation in response to that. Biographical movies, as the sources say, are rarely historically accurate, so the nature of each film's fidelity to history, and what artistic license was taken, can be discussed in full context. I think it would be misleading not to say biopic in the opening sentence, but it can be followed up later in the lead section if the debate is prominent enough (and appears to be).

- Sure Erik - I will reply on the article talk page and will move the URL there. -Classicfilms (talk) 18:19, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

You're welcome![edit]
- Main article: Dump months
Yes, I put a lot of time and research into that. I hope eventually to get it to FA and I appreciate Cirt's review very much and will be making changes this coming week. Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
Range 15[edit]
Erik, I would appreciate any feedback for shaping the article. I have been trying to get it as close as possible to the film articles but I have had some challenges, mostly in figuring out the coding and having the time to do the updates. - Kris — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfhound98 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
- Great! We can discuss at Talk:Range 15. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:37, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
Marilyn Monroe[edit]
Hi, any chance you could give this a review at Wikipedia:Peer review/Marilyn Monroe/archive1? A core article if ever there was one which really needs a good review.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:15, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
Star Wars writing credits[edit]
Lucas is credited with "based on: characters created by" for Force Awakens. They never put that on poster billing, but it is one of those things that is just a given (like Jurassic World or Indiana Jones 4). TropicAces (talk) 03:08, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
- TropicAces, then it can be verified with ease? Forgive me, I'm not going to follow the film article anymore! Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 11:32, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

- Erik I'll try and find an article or two that mentions it, sure! TropicAces (talk) 12:30, 20 October 2015 (UTC)tropicAces
