:If you need a reminder about policy here, then please refresh yourself on the following:
:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ownership_of_articles
:This page in a nutshell: If you create or edit an article, know that others will edit it, and within reason you should not prevent them from doing so.
:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NPOVD#What_is_NPOV.3F
:This page in a nutshell: Neutral Point Of View. An NPOV (neutral, unbiased) article is an article that has been written without showing a stand on the issue at hand (i.e. admitting you are Troma fan whose interest is promoting Troma is not unbiased). This is especially important for the encyclopedia's treatment of controversial issues, in which very often there is an abundance of differing views and criticisms on the subject. In a neutral representation, the differing points of view are presented as such, not as facts.
:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:V
:This page in a nutshell: Articles should only contain material that has been published by reliable sources. Editors adding or restoring material that has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, or any quotations, must provide a reliable published source, or the material may be subject to removal. Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for fact-checking or with no editorial oversight. Articles about such sources should not repeat any contentious claims the source has made about third parties, unless those claims have also been published by reliable sources. Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources.Self-published sources should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer; see WP:BLP.
:: (i.e. Lloyd Kaufman's autobiography, his books, his blogs, and the Troma website ARE NOT veriable sources since they are biased and unsourced. And clearly Wiki policy does NOT allow this AT ALL.
:As the other editor pointed out on your talk page, your agenda presents a conflict of interest. You should NOT be editing these pages in your manner in the first place:
"This is Skibz777's own personal...page...thingy. Or something. On WikiPedia, I like to call myself The Troma Guy. I am currently creating pages for EVERY SINGLE FILM made and distributed by Troma Entertainment, as well as elaborate on the pages for the films already on WikiPedia. This is all done not only because I'm a total loser with a lot of time on his hands, but as a pledge of allegiance to the greatest film studio the world has ever known."

:This page in a nutshell: Avoid making controversial edits to articles where your close connection to the subject may cause a conflict between your agenda and Wikipedia's goal of producing a neutral encyclopedia. Please contact us if you are concerned about the content of such an article.
:Your close connection:"I pledge of allegiance to the greatest film studio the world has ever known, Troma."..."I'm the Troma guy."
:You are in no place to objectively weigh disputes about Troma edits since  you "pledge allegiance" to them. You're clearly biased in Troma's favor. That violates the spirit of Wiki.
Hey, that's great! Uh...I'm not entirely sure what it has to do with the many factual errors on Mr. Kaufman's page, but still: Good for you! Skibz777 20:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: MY RESPONSE/OBJECTION

message: Both Squeeze Play and Nuke 'Em High are addressed in Kaufman's book All I Need To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger.  In it, he states that without a doubt, Squeeze Play was Troma's first real financial success, and that the revenue generated from the film enabled the company to move into the Troma Building.
Kaufman also writes several pages on the video success of Nuke 'Em High, and says that for a while, it was Troma's best-selling video title.
Hope that clears up any confusion.
