Hello, I'm Tacyarg. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Godfrey Reggio, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 22:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi Ireqatsi! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Godfrey Reggio that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Hello!

I represent Godfrey Reggio. WE are currently updating his Wikipedia pages but the last section that I added - REGGIO’S THEORY OF CINEMATIC POETRY which is essential in understanding his films have been removed twice now. I worked carefully and I think I met all the guidelines necessary. Can you please tell me what is the issue so I can fix it?

Thank you Ireqatsi (talk) 23:35, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

I have reverted all of your edits. They are promotional and unsourced. If you edit the article again, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:27, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

hi!

as I said I am Godfrey Reggio's assistant.

I am very sorry if something came across that way.

But may I ask can I put back the image Godfrey wants himself to be up?

How about the fact that he received the Lifetime Achievements Award?

And now there is no mention of his newest film- Once Within a Time that had its World premier in Santa Fe International Film Festival.

Also the fact that Harvard Film Archive has received a huge portion of his work and to be continued? that is part of Godfreys heritage.

They all are important things. And he deserves for them to be up.

Hello again.

Thank you for your response. I understand your decision.

But, if I may, can I make an appeal and ask for some basic info to be returned to his page. I understand your regulations but I think some hard facts should be included on his page that are neutral.

・ a current photo of him (Photographer Peter Weiss did submit a release and it was already accepted)

・the fact that he has a new film released - Once Within a Time

・lifetime achievements award

・his legacy work being preserved by Harvard University

here is the proposed changes in text:

(obviously I need to add citations and links)

Today, Reggio is widely known throughout the world for his wordless filmography, especially the pre-eminent trilogy of Koyaanisqatsi: “Life Out of Balance”; Powaqqatsi: “Life in Transformation”; and Naqoyqatsi: “Life as War”. These three films portray an apocalyptic vision of the collision between urban life and the global environment. They reveal a humanist philosophy about our planet, the encroachment of technology on nature, ancient cultures, and the splendor that disappears as a result. They chronicle the impact of the modernizing world on our physical and psychological environment. His short film feature titled Evidence was a penetrating display of the effect of television on the minds of children,  and his moving documentary Anima Mundi, funded in support of the World Wildlife Fund, revealed how much we share the planet with other creatures, a montage of intimate images of over seventy animal species that celebrates the magnificence and variety of the world's fauna. His film Visitors, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, provided a unique glimpse of how space aliens might perceive human beings, consisting for the most part of extended slow-motion closeups of people's faces, looking directly into the camera. Reggio’s latest film, Once Within A Time, was produced by Steven Soderbergh & Alexander Rodnyansky and had its world premiere at The Santa Fe International Film Festival in October 2022.

Reggio received the Santa Fe International Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award on Oct. 22, 2022.  

The bulk of Reggio's cinematic records, manuscripts, papers, photographs, film rolls, over forty years, have been acquired by Harvard University's Houghton Library, the university's primary repository for rare books, manuscripts and the important Harvard Film Archive. It is one of the world's largest and most significant university-based motion picture collections housing over 36,000 motion picture titles from around the world and from almost every period in film history.

Thank you for your time to look this over and your consideration.

Best,

Payment for editing

Hello Ireqatsi - you have previously stated that you represent Reggio, are his assistant, and edit on his behalf. Please answer this question: Does he pay you for representing him? Thank you Chubbles (talk) 03:08, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
