Rainbow Bridge (film)

Adam, we have very strict rules regarding content and sources. Take a look at the links in the section "Policies and Guidelines" in the welcome menu above this comment. If you have questions about how you can add your material to Rainbow Bridge (film), please contact me. Unless you have a reliable secondary source for this information, like a notable newspaper, magazine, or book, we can't use it. Please confirm if your name appears in the credits of the film or not. IMDB does not seem to list it. Please correct me if I am wrong. —Viriditas | Talk 04:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Viriditas; I have a letter from Barry de Prendergast (the producer) verifying that I was an actor and had lines in the production of Rainbow Bridge and I have notified IMDb to ensure that I am listed in the credits.

I am an accredited musician/composer in the business with three films released just this year using my material and many albums to my credit. I am just seeking to add to your wealth of information on topics and correct any areas where credit was due and has been omitted.

Yours truly, --AdamStrange 08:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I am Tiddly-Tom and I noticed you put the {{helpme}} on your user page. This allerts lots of users that you require assistance. It appears that you want the attention of only one user, Viriditas. Can I suggest that you copy your reply to him onto his talk page as this will alert him that you have left a message. If there is anything else I can help you with, feel free to contact me. Tiddly-Tom 08:43, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tiddly, can you help me help Adam? AdamStrange (talk · contribs), (aka 66.81.21.9 (talk · contribs) and 66.81.20.33 (talk · contribs)) insists on adding unverifiable information to Rainbow Bridge (film). I've attempted to explain this above, but I haven't gotten through to him. I was going to add an entry to Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard before I saw your message. Please also review my most recent revert. We simply do not have any verifiable, secondary sources regarding the information that Adam keeps adding to the article. I've asked him if it appears in the official credits of the film and he has either ignored or misunderstood my question. —Viriditas | Talk 08:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Viriditas and AdamStrange. First, I would like to remind you both of the three revert rule the prohibits three reverts/re additions of material to an article by a user in the space of 24 hours. For more detailed description of what it is, follow the link here. Adam, as Viriditas is trying to tell you, all information in articles must be vertifiable. This means that they must cite reliable sources. Such as newspapers. There is also here an issue of conflict of intrest as you are adding information about your self into an article. Please read what I have written, and read the polices before you continue to add in the information. If you continue, you may well be blocked for violating the three revert rule. Thank you, I have to go out now but I may be able to answer questions if you are quick ;). Tiddly-Tom 09:10, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, thanks for your e-mail. Please take a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources to see how these sources differ from the ones you are offering. Thanks. —Viriditas | Talk 14:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adam, thanks again for your polite e-mail. I hope we can get this sorted out. —Viriditas | Talk 01:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
