Non American users are being strongly reminded to adhere to the IMFDB page standards

Sorry, we have been stressing to members that (a) they should upload their screencaps, posters and other info BEFORE they make the page. (b) New members are held up to greater scrutiny due to recent abuses by many new and anonymous members. There has been a rash of really BAD pages with almost no info, usually from new members. My apologies, but apparently you got caught up in the wave of deletions of bad pages created by new users. Now if the page was made by a recognized veteran member, whom we know would finish the page, then we would have probably let it go for at least a month before someone said something. Also Stalker is a Russian film. IMFDB is starting to clamp down on foreign films that have weak pages, because WE can't finish them (unless we go out of our war to order a region free DVD from overseas which we won't do). Be sure to make it conform to IMFDB standards as we have had some Russian users make crappy pages. It makes us wary of pages created by users where English is not their strong suit. So if you want to make a new page, don't just make a bare page and walk away. Even having the movie poster, a plot synopsis and some screenshots, would have kept that page from being deleted. The rules of IMFDB are getting more strict (unfortunately due to a bunch of bad page making by a small but energetic percentage of users). Also have screencaps ready. User should be committed enough to learn how to screencap their projects, if they don't know how or have problems, there are MANY users who are happy to help if help is requested. Hope this helps.

BTW, your page had already been tagged for deletion by other users. See the "NoEffort" template to see what I mean. Pages tagged with the DELETE category will be deleted. Only YOU can keep this from happening by showing marked effort in working on a new page. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 22:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
