Argentina films[edit]

Are you kidding! Your article Veronico Cruz is great too! By all means help with starting articles from Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/List of films without article/List of missing Argentine Films. I have only got as far as adding films A-B to the lists and also C-D to the 2000s and the 1940s. I am also adapting to format more like List of Canadian films:2000s -I will include a column for notability and genre too. I am only just beginning in my conquest!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 09:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Go, go, ESB. Luigibob 09:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Well done for starting Hector Oliviera. He was on my hot list for starting. As I am checking each film for notability I am as far as N now (once it is done I can seriously BEEF! the lists and make them full and complete. See User:Ernst Stavro Blofeld/Blofeld's Secret Note Pad for my hot list of key directors and one or two actors that seem to appear on nearly every film. Hugo del Carrill I know has an article on spanish wikipedia -its ridiculous we don't have an article for him yet. Excellent sites to get portraits are from cinenacional and a brilliant site for images of almost nearly all Argentine films is buenos aires--black and white of the classical era Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:23, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey it seems we both share the same interets I see you edited The Good the bad the Ugly. I added the whole section on the characters and started the actor articles and uploaded the cemetry picture giving it a revamp. Looking good eh? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 12:48, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Bolivia once again was on my top list! However if you are uploading screenshots can you state the rationale as in SEE HERE for example (you can copy and paste it into each image you upload saves time) and any other info you regard as appropriate. Its just I have uploaded many images in the past without stating the full rationale and they were picked up on by image wikilawyers!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:47, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks pal yes I am glad you noticed about Cronica - I started it yesterday as I said every article I have in mind we simultaneously start! The articles were very similar, but yours had a bit more info on the story and other etc to I moved mine to yours! Check the categories though if you feel unsure. Its very good though because it shows we both have a very good understanding of Argentine cinema. I have now added the film list of titles on List of Argentine films:1980s just needs filling! I'll complete the lists asap. Keep up the great work. If you require an info box for awards see my box on El Faro for film awarded articles Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:59, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Feel free though to start any article you like but you can check the category first to see for doubles!! All the best I'm off to bed now feeling severley bloated had a MASSIVE pasta, prawns and veg for dinner with a spicy muschroom-tomato source -repeating on me!! My eyes a re stinging me! See ya , in LA isn't it? Goodnight! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 23:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Some pointers[edit]

E.g on Nazareno. - always index the surname followed by a, then the first name next to the categories. Category:Argentine television actors exists. If you can see the person or film at www.cinenacional.com the official Argentine site which I beleive has a photo of him include the link. In the talk pages if you could place the biography template connects to WikiProject Biography (I am a member). Also not really important now is that the filmography would be in year order not in reverse e.g John Wayne - I am also often guilty of this as it saves time reordering -but if the filmo is short then it can be done quickly. Starters looking fine though.

Keep up the good work and p.s. I'm still feeling bloated from last night! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Also a highly useful site for images can be found at:

Particularly for older film cool black and white images it has archives of nearly every Argentine film and some colour of newer films. Occasionally it has the rare original posters too see List of Argentine films:1930s AyudirErnst Stavro Blofeld 10:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes very good. THat cinenacional link is useful. With categories say for instance the name Olga Zubarry. If you didn't index it in the category it would be indexed under O for Olga when the norm is for surname under Z for Zubarry. This is the answer! Cool stuff. Hey that's an irish phrase top'o the mornin' to ya laddy! I'm from wales -still a celt though! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 12:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Also there are a number of figures in Argentine cinema who are from Uruguay and Chile. The Argentine categories should be kept for these (because they have worked in CInema of Argentina) but don't forget to replicate to add the home country ones also e.g for Caetano-Uruguayan film producers etc. Caetano is very much Uruguyan- moved to Argentine when he was 16 I beleive so should go in both cats. Un oso rojo sounds good -as this develops each article is becoming linked with actor sna ddirector which rid of red links on other pages. I have appealed to WikiProject Argentina for help on ridding of the red links but they seem completely disinterested Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:20, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Check out my user page - how Blofeld is that -ironically Satriani looks like Blofeld! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey I just checked Arizona Sur and who is the first actor on the list now linked -Nazareno! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Tu trabajo en el articulo Cronica es excelente ahora. Quiero añadir todos de los articulos de Argentina para el cine. Despues empezaró el cine de Austria en el alphabetico A! Entonces Australia. Pero necesito tiempo!! Idealmente, quisiera comprar tiempe libre pero no es posible!

Sí hablo espańol. Puedo traducir algunos articulos de espańol. Como es mi español? Soy aprendiendo (gradualmente) cuatro idiomas -Aleman, francais, espanol y italiano! Hasta luego amigo de el criminal y tyrrannico Blofeld.

Saludos en California del sur. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:08, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S He tenedo muchos problemas con el abogado de wikipedia : Usuario:Chowbok. Quieres suprimir todos de los imagenes de wikipedia! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:12, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Argentina films part Duex[edit]

Excelente mi amigo: Hector starred in Alma mía - remember that I have started most films beginning with A so far!

Yesterday I was browsing the new pages and found a three line uncategorized unwikified stub and I felt like developing a huge new article! See The Temptress I just felt like writing something. What do you think?

Hoy es un dia esplendido en Gales y muy caliente para Febrero--no quiero trabajar en Wikipedia hoy.

Veo los cambios de tus imagenes porque el Wiki:abogado. La madre de este abogado es un culo de una vacia!!! es mas correcto! Adios y hasta luego--tu amigo Blofeld. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Several things about Alejo García Pintos though. Always check cinenacional for the birth dates I have added, please index of the person by surname e.g Pintos, Alejo and the actor stub cat is more specific - it should be SouthAm-actor-stub. See ya Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:13, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Also I remember that you know a bit about the Dollars films The Good the Bad and the Ugly? Know any more about Luciano Vincenzoni - I can't beleive he hasn't been started yet. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
As one of my heroes of British TV Del Boy would say "Lovely Jubbly" in relation to Kamachatka!! Nice going. You really feel good when you see the actors in the film are no longer red linked and you visit older pages you start and gradually see actors added! I stubbed Enrique Carreras perhaps the most prolific (Peruvian) Argentine director and producer of all time. Remember though to add the rationale when you upload the images and I wouldn't really advice a gallery of copywrighted film images as they are a target from our abogados!! -maybe disperse them into the article or something? By the way I think vacia or vaciar means to empty and vaca means cow? Either way I was trying to describe a cow's backside!! Ha!! I look forward to hearing from you. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

More about Wiki editing[edit]

Regarding this also remember to create the spanish redirects and if you could label the spanish language title next to the bold wordding at the very beginning -you don't what me starting the same films again!! THanksErnst Stavro Blofeld 19:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Just seen the red bear as you found the poster. See the List of Argentine films now it is developing into years. Needs a great deal of work though. I have just started a few other key actors too . Wondering why your're not responding to meErnst Stavro Blofeld 15:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Your American film article is superb! Remember though that even US films are categorized as Category:American films. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:11, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I know you are trying to tidy Cinema of Argentina page but please leave the templates which are on every cinema page in the world on wikipedia. Thanks Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Remember how the Cinema of Argentina page looks now. 6 months time I hope that it becomes so detailed that it branches out into articles of periods because the page will be over length!! e.g Cinema of Argentina in the 1950s. Over 100 years of cinema of a biggish film producer -there are a thousands of things to cover from cinematography to actual cinemas in Argentina, to editors and score mussicans working in the industry to filming locations, companies, international collaborations and festivals where Argentine film is reagrded. Discussing the styles of cinema in each decade and discussing films and actors and directors within them -wow! DO you realise just how detailed that article could be? I feel once most of the films and actors are started the info will there for something monstrous!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 23:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
I've established Wikipedia:WikiProject Argentina/Cinema of Argentina -the centre for the Argentine film industry! on wikipedia to organize the work. Please add missing people or films that require attention that you know of to the page. THis way we'll get a good idea of what is missing and major film characters that need work-pages that are very poor that need a lot of work. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 12:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
No probs mate this way you can highlight the films you regard as important on the list of major missing films or whatever and I know what your aims are too. Note though that I don't intend to start every film every filmed in Argentina!! - I filtered out many of the four minute indepenedent doucmentaries or whatever removing many hundreds from the list I notcied Argenitna since 2000 has a fetish for short films. Why?Anyway I removed the majority of those keeoing the ones though that won awards but the missing list is still enormous!! One of my key aims on wikipedia is not only to provide info but to remove the notion of a world centred around the US and England - remove Anglo-Centric tendiencies. This means looking at the world from a different perspective anywhere on the planet and filling in an extensive knoweldge of cultures trying to establish it from a different viewpoint -e.g certain films will mean more people maybe in Argentina than other places but that shouldn't prevent wikipedia providing knowledge of it!! All the best Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC).
I have now created a section at the top of the page for Major Missing films -. Award winning films should go in this section as these should really have priority. Gracias y saludos! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:18, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Three members now to our WIki Argentine Cinema. I have stubbed Hermanas please fill it out when you can thanks. Histirias minimas has been started too! I have also stubbed many of thos emajor direcotrs I told you about Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:20, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Look 8 or so weeks ago we had only about nine films for Argentina and only about 15 actors -trsut me Argentina was so poorly covered this is why I took an interest. My aims are to stub the missing articles and then gradually expand them into fuller articles -this takes time. Most of the stubs are fine as a start already but given time they should become fuller more decent articles, Now if you want to concnetrate on only a few thats up to you but I only start "stubs" if I beleive in time they will become fuller quality articles. I beleive a well set up stub with an info box providing , info and a film poster with a brief synopsis is far more useful than it not existing at all -I live in the hope that others users may expand them. I guess its kind of like an argument between quality and quantity. Well I am hoping that eventually Argentina as in any other country will have high quality full length film articles in abundance covering both eventually. But you understand its gonna take a lot of time for this to work!! But any work done whether in stubbing new articles or expanding exisiting ones can only improve things!!

Hey sad about Anna Nicole Smith isn't it or is it? Was she liked in the US? Can't beleive it all winter its been very warming today the whole of the UK is covered in a blanket of snow!!!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes I kind of had an inkling she was something of a clown act in America. Her whole life was the perfect frame for gags and ridicule in the press with her playboy antics, followed by the billionaire geriatric, followed by her show and her weight ballooning. I have to admit she looked pretty amazing in the early nineties and very fit and attractive in Naked Gun 33 1/3 but when I saw pcitures of her over 200 pounds I was amazed at the change!! Only 39 as well.

I have been working on Abbas Kiarostami today its gradually improving -visually it looks very good now. Needs a lot of work though on sentecning and more info. Have a read. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

El Custodio del criminal Ernst Stavro Blofeld. Remember though that if the birth date is missing then you can use the Category:Date of birth missing and Category:Place of birth missing. I saw Unlawful Entry (film) last night starring Ray Liotta and Kurt Russell. I expected a full length article but it didn;t exist -I had to stub it earlier!! Just started The Day the Fish Came Out Greek-UK film of 1967 Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

As you said I'm all over the entire planet with films and actors. STarted Estonian picture Agent Sinikael, Finnish films such as Paha maa and working on that Iranian film director. I think I'll start an ALbanian film next followed by a amjor missing Japanese films before continuing with the Argentine list of films!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking. Do you not think it best to keep the spanish titles for the articles and then just state the english in the article? For exmaple people familiar with the titles e.g El Custodio might look through the category and not find it when it is there in english? under The Minder? Hmm. What do you think? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 19:19, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes it is debatable but I happen to agree with you that if the title is long it should be in english. If short and sweet it could remain in Spanish espeically if it doesn't translate very easily. In the article of course it deosn't matter as the english and spanish is stated either way-its the categories I am thinking about -for people familiar with Argentine films and the original titles Ernst Stavro Blofeld 19:35, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Nygaard I think concentrates on indexing with categories on wikipedia that is his sole function. I don;t have a problem with him sorting the categories out but he shouldn't be removing any foreign letters from peoples names or titles. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:20, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I did mention the indexing thing before. If you just use the default sort without foreign lettering it will categorize it properly. Trust me on this. If you index the categories using foreign lettering letters with accents e.g á will come after z and not be classed as a. If you look in the category then the full accent title of the name will be there but categorized in alphabetical order -it is just a categroy code you need to use. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't have aproblem with Nygaard sorting out indexing as long as it doesn't affect articles and peoples hard work but it is his tone i often find difficult losing sight of what is really important -the information in an article rather than a minor fault with a category. Never give up but I guarentee if you listen about the indexing the problem will go away Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Foreign spellings are quite legitimately removed from many articles and their article names. This is in accordance with many Wikipedia:Requested moves decisions, with Wikipedia:Naming conventions and several of its subpages, etc. Our article is at Romania, for example. Not at România. Our article is at Ho Chi Minh, not at Hồ Chí Minh. Our article is at Arpad Elo, not at Árpád Élő. And many, many more like them. Gene Nygaard 16:36, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

See Nygaard's talk page. Can you understand what he is going on about? He is missing the whole point of wikipediaErnst Stavro Blofeld 17:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

Collaboration of the week[edit]

I have started a new praising scheme for our Argentine cinema project - articles which have received significant work or show excellent collaboration between members during the week. This weeks award goes to Kamchatka well done. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:18, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I have just stubbed Julio Porter a major figure. I see your actor starred in Animalada -wow thats a weird looking film about a guy and his sheep!! Black comedy I think Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd be grateful if you could list some actors that you regard as "missing" on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Argentina/Cinema of Argentina -this way other project members can keep track of what is new and what articles need starting. Cheers Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. To start with I would discuss it in the Cinema of Argentina page but when this page is written properly and more fully it will need to be split then -at present it needs developing though. Once the key films and actors are started from the List of Argentine films from each decade I think I will then be able to achieve this. See ya! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

I think e.g El Abrazo partido should be categorized under A - I realise there are many in the category under El or La I will sort these when I have time Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Delia, Jorge is correct for categorzing!!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

As Argentina has hundreds of notable actors I have proposed a new stub category for Argentine actors - Argentina-bio-stub and actor stub has millions of entries so a Argentina-actor-stub needs creating -please add your support on Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/2007/February. Hopefully the category would encourage people to write the new stubs into articles THanks. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thats good as Valentina Bassi also starred in El Boquete I started yesterday. Cool! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I have started Todas las azafatas van al cielo which I thought might be a good film to start as it links many of the actors of the "New Age cinema".Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

However when you have time could you please translate from http://www.labutaca.net/films/8/todaslasazafatasvanalcielo1.htm to expand the article. Cheers. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Good. What you didn't know what Azafata is? I knew that! Air hostess! Yes maybe we ought to propose it in front of a council either at wikiproject film or in general to see what peoples opinions are on whether it should be in the original spanish title or in english. If people browse through the categories and click on the film the english is written next to the title anyway. However what if you are searching for an Argentine film in the index and can't remember the full name in spanish and can't find it if it is in english and don't know what it is? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

25 Watts is another one. I'll list them in the Wiki Cinema page Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Good work on the cinematographers!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Well your great work at removing the red links has a knock on effect in connecting with other articles which in turn removes red links on others. That makes me at my happiest when I see films and actors that I have started in the past now developing and red links being removed on them either in their filmographies or their cast sections!! Everything is already starting to connect very nicely. No amazingly as yet the stub people haven't created a film-editor-stub. I'll have to propose one asap!! Feel free to add the editors but leave the stub cat blank for now. All the best!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:30, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

See what I mean!! DId you have any idea that your Argentine film editor worked on The Lake House (film) starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock!! Small world!! I didn't know Agresti directed that film! I have propsed that new stub cat anyway -your film bio is fine for now. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

New Argentina-actor-stub[edit]

Just to let you know I succeeded with my proposal please use Template:Argentina-actor-stub on all Argentine stub actors from now on and gradually add this to exisiting articles rather than argentine-bio-stub and actor stub. Cheers Ernst Stavro Blofeld 14:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll add some pics to your new one now. I have been going film mad today -I have started tons of films!! Conversaciones con mamá may need expansion later. I am in the mood!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 21:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm off to bed now but I have started Una Noche con Sabrina Love -another key film linking actors. Please give it the "Luigi Bob blessing". Cheers! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:46, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Cheers. I have started director Juan José Jusid and fresh faced!! actress Silvina Bosco -when you start the cinema figures can you please use the celebrity info box -I saw what you did to Hector Alterio and really liked the box -looks much better -when I have time I'll add a box to many of the actors and directors. I only hope the wiki-abogados don't delete those images!! See yaErnst Stavro Blofeld 19:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey I'm into my biographies today. I have started Fernando Siro but check out Ada Falcon. Very interesting life indeed! p.s. looks like the stub cat screen-writer-stub and film-editor-stub will get the go ahead Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

More about Argentina New Wave Cinema[edit]

What was a good edit? Hey its not that I am not capable of producing high class-articles - The Temptress! but beleive me i will eventually its just I feel it important to set the articles up first and style later. If I do the setting up and you can gradually improve them this is great!. I noticed you doing the studios -good work . WHatever the case we now have 307 articles and counting on films!! Soon enough the stubs can be written into styled articles. I beleive between the two of us we are doing a terrific job! If you could can you please start Lumiton Studios -this was a mahor Argentine company and it is red-linked on the Cinema of Argentina main article. Check it out on imdb or cine Cheers Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:10, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I have also found a new way to link our film articles to the Argentine list. e.g

Buenos Aires la vida was a List of Argentine films:1936|1936 [[ ]] Argentina|Argentine film. How does this sound? This way it links to the year for Argentina Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Our goals seem so different?? I was thinking they are very similar!!! I disagree - we are both are trying to produce an encyclopedia of Argentine cinema -I thought if anything our goals are the practically the same to connect everything and eventually produce some very good articles!!! The only way we differ though, I think is that I want to cover the entire history of Argentine cinema including the earliest films but you are concnetrating more on the new wave of the late 1990s and 2000s and producing high qulaity articles even to begin with. Either way I am beginning to see some great links between articles beginning to appear and I know eventually people will be amazed at the work. Well done!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:41, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I have started Emilio Kauderer -you may want to clean it up a little or improve it -I beleive he is a signifiacant composer in Argentina. Cheers. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Luigi Bob. Just to note that you don't need to add argentina-bio-stub and argentina-actor-stub to actor articles -actor will do - if you see the argentina-bio-stub page you'll see argentina-actor-stub is breaking it down as a sub category. Good work on El Fondo del Mar! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 13:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Kiarostami: FAC[edit]

Hi how are you?

I would like to invite you to read the Abbas Kiarostami which is now a featured article candidate. Please take the time to review it and leave your opinion at the Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Abbas Kiarostami page. Thanks. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow amazing work on film today!!!!! Super work. Keep it up. Longsnout started Tiempo de Valientes - it has won awards so you may want to give it a LuigiBobbing to!!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 17:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Am I the only one who thinks that the guy Adrian Navarro from Ay Juancito looks like Borat? !! Thanks for improving them. 25 watts just has to be started now I think I'll start it now ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 18:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I have started 25 watts. I'll leave the award for you to do. For awards there is a table like in El Faro which is good for displaying film awards. Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 19:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

OK I see you have done some Italian films of the 1950s. I must admit I am a little disappointed you don't feel the need to cover more than a handful of films and you don't really think much of my work. And my work needn't be bad if those articles are written into good articles which I hope they will. You seem to think an article should be A-class immediately -but stub writing takes time to write into good articles and if I can set up the bulk of the cinema over the decadeas and then develop them I feel this is useful -I see you disagree. A stub I beleive is better than nothing. And you know I am quite capbale of writing decent articles so give me some credit Hey. It'll take time. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 20:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

For now I am going to redirect the titles towards the lists until articles can be written better -keeps control of the amount of stubs too. Then the remaining articles that can be written into full articles can be written and not stubbed. THankyou for your help anyway -I'vre seen some very good work I hope you keep it up whereever you want to edit. I hope I haven't done anything to change your opinion of anything - maybe you have got fed up with me I don't know judging by the "more from Blofeld" paragrpahing of your talk page! Whatver the case thanks for your work it is very much appreciated. All the best ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 21:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Cinema templates[edit]

Just to let you know the templates for Italian and Spanish cinema have been created. Please use them on any articles or add them to any current articles you are working on thanks I hope you like them:

Hey I certainly am all over the encyclopedia and world today I edited Lhasa!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I have justed added the image to Libertad Lamarque. I must say I am very surprised you don't consider anything before 1995 from Argentine notable I might agree with you from 1955-1994 but what about 1935 -1950 ? This was seen as the classic "golden age" of Argentine cinema and there are many films worthy of an article. Libertad Lamarque and Hugo del Carril in Latin American cinema were major actors and should of course get coverage as with many of their films and other actors. Internationally I totally agree with you that post 1995 more of the films are globally notable as they have been released across Europe but that doesn't mean early eras are pointless ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


Thankyou for you response. Yes feel free to add to the content of the Argentine template I reckon we should create the Category:Argentine film awards and the box can redirect to this to include Clarin etc. Also I'd like to see an icon in the box for Studios maybe also created the category Argentine film studios or something as well as in the cinema of Argentina category so the template can direct to this. I have already created the Brazilian template a while back but I need to standardize it. Yes I have just added a few images to the Potala and Kundun Scorses 1997 film also related to Tibet. Also see Bahram Bayzai which I unstubbed yesterday - this time in Iran!!! As for the Argentine films the films from 1955 to 1995 don't seem all that much but I'd like to see some 1930s/1940s Argentine films for myself and write them into good articles! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Although please try to keep it on one line I don't want to bloat the box too much -remember it is also located in the main Argentina srticle too! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Brazilian cinema[edit]

I have to wait to get the Brazil film image but if you could rid of the red links first and then use it that would be great. Brazil was going to be my nexy port of call after Argetina ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 19:33, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

As you can see the tmeplate has been made. I have started Mauro Alice and Walter Carvalho to fill in the red links on the template but I beelive they are both very notable figures in Brazilian cinema = Walter Carvalho has won an incredibel 30 awards!!!! You may want to add his awards or something or whatever ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Bellisimo mio amico!!!! I see you have moved to Europe! My Finnish firend User:Prolog started Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key A great day for Italian film! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 15:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

You really are a super guy. Or should that be Super Luigi in relation to Super Mario (Luigi being his brother)!!!!! Hey plumber dude! THanks for the award amigo. It does bother me that wiki abogados y policias interfere with peoples work. The question is does it really matter? I always beleive a name of something looks better in capitals -also if you look at the titles of the spanish films on the posters you'll see that more often than not they are capitalized. I do believe that the name of the article should be the original and I do prefer capitalized regardless of what language it is all names of things should be capitalized. Where do I vote> ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 16:39, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Wow some great work on Argentine films in the last couple of days looks like the award was well deserved! Note I started Dolores Fonzi before but it needs copy editing, . Bravo! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

One thing though I wonder why you often delete my uploaded images? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

!!SERIOUS ATTENTION!! needed on Víctor Laplace !! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 13:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know that film-editor-stub and screen-writer-stub now exist I closed the request after a succcessful consensus. PLease use and correct these on the Argentine film editors and screenwriters and any others. Today most of the cinem templates have been completed -I have been all over the world -just created a Georgian film score composer from Russian cinema!! The most diffuclt was Indian cinema template

Cheers amigo Saludos ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 17:38, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Note also it is film-director-stub - director-stub is for theatre . Regards ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 19:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

1990s begining of the new wave[edit]

Its great that you are covering some 1990s Argentine films I was going to ask you to do that. I have reached the early 1980s now with the redirects and will get to the mid 1990s soon enough-then the lists need filling and articles (which can be articles) will be branched out. I have to admit Argentine cinema 1955-1993 is quite poor!! Too many dirty comedies!!

But the very start of the new wave iis very important you may find this useful

August-November 2007 Messages[edit]

PLease return to wikipedia where have you been for over three months it feels like a year. Please return!!!!! I miss you!!! Unfortunatley I haven't done much with Argentine films. I've been working on the List of American films and List of British films--the biggest of all check them out. I almost feel ready to continue with Argentine and Brazilian films ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you?" Contribs 14:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Luigi its great to have you back!!! How are you amigo? If you are editing American films I have created templates for the decades. E.g if the film is from 1956 add the 1950s template at the footer which is
As you can see I started the List of American films from scratch. See American films of 1934 etc. I hope very much you can still work on Latin film particularly Brazil and Mexican film is in need of development ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 12:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool! Hey I've found a way to shut up the bot -that wasn't why I left before though although it frickin annoys me too!!. See Template:Blofeld. My rationales are in there. CLick on film poster or screenshot or bio rationale and just copy and template the huge rationale pleates I made. I also began developing Brazilian films of the 1920s. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 23:26, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Cinema templates are up for deletion[edit]

Unbelievably a nasty user has put all of the cinema templates up for deletion including the Argentina template which will affect some 500+ articles. I believe they serve a great purpose for establishing a better understanding and connection between articles. But in total haste he has gone ahead and proposed the lot. If my hard work is deleted I swear I am leaving Wikipedia for good. I am willing to limit the use of the American template but not the others.

Please leave your view at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 March 13 Thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 12:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject Actors and Filmakers[edit]

Hey see my proposals at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals and the main WP Film talk page. Know anybody who is interested? Actor and all film people articles need a body on wikipedia to upkeep them -it would be a part of Biography and Film ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 14:48, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

More international films[edit]

Hola amigo: Its been ages. When you have time please add the ratings to Casino Royale (2006 film) thanks ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 10:53, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I've just seen. Sorry. I tried many times to improve Casino Royale and I kept getting my edits immediately reverted. I added the Special effects section on the page which unbelievably I think they like but not a word of thanks but it is all in the wrong order. I also added the awards section which as yet has not been deleted. I too often get sick of users who rather than see the big picture--our massive improvements to Wikipedia pick up on the smallest of things. Even now after I have helped improve the article I still get the impression that it is only a matter of time before an abogado goes in and take sit all out. Unfortunately this is the down side to Wikipedia. Too many stubborn users!! I too will be reducing my input on Wikipedia but please don't leave. There are many users who are very aware of your great work . But thats life I guess you got to take the good with the bad. but looking at a neutral view - your contributions to the project have been highly valuable. Look how many crappy stubs now have great articles!!! Hopefully I can allow SPECTRE to grow and dominate all the abogados y policias!!! Saludos!! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 12:12, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
What concerns me is that I have put a lot of work into the Bond films and related articles and I am worried that certain users who are also guarding the casino Royale page will delete everything on all the others. I have come across a few other bond film which are being ruined by such policing taking out all images even free images which help give the picture. Ah well. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 12:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I know it can get you down. Check this out for double standards. On the Casino Royale article. I wasn't permitted to have an image of one of the key villains Mr. White on the page. Even though he is the key to the plot and is discussed well in the article he is considered by this user as "not worthy of an image, doesn't deserve one (even though he is a big enough character to have his own wikipedia article). He says "Only images which are the key to the plot and article should be included". So then I question why there is an image of the gun barrel in the plot section which is probably the most useless image you could find for the film - when it doesn't convey any info and is not even mentioned in the article!!! Strangely enough I didn't get a reply but he came up with a whole list of contradictory what wikipedia is or is not!. Its weird isn't it!!! Anyway I just choose to try to shut it out and foucs on all the positive comments and awards I have been given including for the Bond films!!

I noticed you have done some great work on US films inlcuding the Dove nice going!!! and always feel free to continue to work on the Latin films. Actually it would be great if you could add some major Brazilian films. This is next on my list to tackle. Good to hear from you again amigo. And continue with your superb work ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 12:48, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Casino Royale FAC[edit]

To let you know that Casino Royale (2006 film) has undergone improvement in the last week and I have now nominated it for Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. I was eventually allowed to edit it and the response has been excellent! I would very much appreciate you taking the time to review the article and state your opinion. Thank you. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" "S.P.E.C.T.R.E" 09:31, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

From Bloefeld[edit]

Yeah great! I began developing the French films of the 1920s although I'm trying to take over the world at once. They are so many missing great films, please add your name to the list as its only me at present for French cinema--crazy isn't it, nobody else has joined !! It would be also a good idea to add some of the most notable films you can think of and add them to the project page--a to-do list. I've been busy starting the article Deforestation in Brazil. I did have a chance to improve Thunderball (film) yesterday. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

When I get around to filling the French film lists I'm going to split by year and link all the years in the French film template like Template:CinemaofHongKong. This way eventually each french film article should link to the entire history of french cinema ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah did you see the capture of Kim Jong Il a world snooker pro in the 1970s! ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 21:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
