Request to add link to my article[edit]

Hi, I've been working on editing the Gothic double article for the past few months. It is still classified as a stub so I'm looking to divert some more traffic to the article in order for its classification to go up. I have a section on how the motif is used in Black Swan, and was wondering if I could please add a sentence or two in this article mentioning the use of the motif, and with a hyperlink to my own article? Please let me know. Thank you so much! Snowdrop Fairy (talk) 07:42, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All mention of Perfect Blue removed?[edit]

Why is this? ScienceApe (talk) 21:25, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thanks for the lead. So, it looks like it was removed at this exact point:

(cur | prev) 23:54, 2 May 2012‎ Bbb23 (talk | contribs)‎ . . (48,861 bytes) (-292)‎ . . (→‎Conception: removed Perfect Blue sentence (poorly sourced and mostly trivial - it is, it isn't)) (undo)

And of course, this very same talk page has no conversation about removing it at this same point in time. (Ironically, this "poorly sourced" source is from a movie site I read all the time.) Anyway, as I've said above in the other "Why is Perfect Blue missing?" section, it's irrelevant whether or not he copied the movie. What IS relevant, is that numerous people have reported that similarities exist. Which is exactly what this page should do also. 147.21.64.22 (talk) 00:48, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Black swan theory[edit]

I arrived at this article while looking for Black swan theory. Should we add a link up top to direct readers like me? Rklawton (talk) 21:44, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How did you find and upload the poster without copyright issues?[edit]

I'm a newer editor looking to create a Wikipedia page for a film and I was wondering where you found the poster and how it was uploaded without copyright issues. Please explain. Factfanatic1 (talk) 22:02, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Factfanatic1: Posters for most films, excepting old ones (pre-1920s) or those which were not renewed, will be copyrighted. So for Wikipedia, they would have to uploaded here locally instead of Commons, and under a claim of fair use. This involves using templates for a non-free use rationale (we have one for film posters) and a licensing tag. This might sound complicated, but you'd just fill in information and we have plenty of existing examples you could look at. You can find posters using Google Images; this specific one came from IMDB. For more help, you could always reach out to the Teahouse, which is especially newbie-friendly. Happy editing. Opencooper (talk) 00:40, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
