LA Movie Buff (talk) 02:28, 8 March 2009 (UTC) Comments from Wildhartlivie about citations from newspaperARCHIVE.comHi. I noted you added some references to this article and I'm not able to check them because membership is required at the newspaperARCHIVE.com site. While it would be better that sources be checkable, could you please find the titles of the articles which you're citing? That is important to fill out the references. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) Hi, thanks for the comment. I have added the newspaper article titles. Below is the format I chose. Is it OK?
If you have a suggestion for a better format, please give me an example and I will do my best to comply. Many thanks. LA Movie Buff (talk) 04:31, 14 March 2009 (UTC) Continuation of advice from WildhartlivieThere's not a preferred way, but there are recommended ways to format references. I'll leave a template for you at the end of this. The main recommendation is that an editor use the style already established in the article, but there are too many that used mixed styles. For the example you left:
This is how I format it:
That's based on a reference (showing all the wiki-markup) like:
There is also cite web template referencing, but it is a bit more complex. Basically, just include the facts, the extra words like "article in" aren't necessary. Format for a reference listWhich is the preferable format for Reference lists?
From WildhartlivieRegarding your question on references, I think most editors are now using {{reflist}}. There's nothing wrong with the old html markup style, but you'll find that most newer articles use the template style. All of these templates will produce a page to check where it is used, and that is certainly helpful (just like the findagrave has been). If you have any questions, let me know. Also, if you like, I can tell you how to set your user preferences so that you have a tool for leaving warnings on editor talk pages regarding vandalism, etc. And now, here's the ref template: Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. References are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material, and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's advisable to also include a reference to say from where it came. If you need any assistance, let me know. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC) Reverting vandalism advice, March 14, 2009Somebody just vandalized Patrick Swayze's site. LA Movie Buff (talk) 23:50, 14 March 2009 (UTC) Thanks for spotting that! I'll check into it right now. If it does change again, please don't revert it. Beware WP:3RR, we don't want to start an WP:EDITWAR! I'll let you know the result of my investigation. Thanks again! -- Chzz ► 00:00, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks again! -- Chzz ► 00:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC) You're quite welcome. I love Wikipedia and I want to protect its sterling reputation, especially for young people. Did I handle that the way you prefer? If they just vandalize once, should I just revert it and report it, and not pay attention to any further vandalisms by the same contributor to the same site? And let you take if from there? I revert many, many vandalisms, some minor, some major. I trust Wiki Administrators to handle them in the most appropriate way. Many thanks.LA Movie Buff (talk) 00:12, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Find a Grave Template Format Thank You from WildhartlivieMeanwhile, I would just love to thank you for this!! At present, the old {{Find A Grave}} template needs to be changed over so that we can get rid of it. The {{findagrave}} template is used on the majority of biographies, while the old one is currently down to being used on only slightly less that 1400 articles. I've been working on this project lately and I have to admit, when I saw someone had reformatted the Find a Grave link, I inwardly groaned then smiled when I checked. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC) Vandalism noticesSomebody is repeatedly vandalizing Danny Bonaduce. I have reverted it each time. I believe it is the same person, variously using Bradp521, Ucho123 and/or 71.56.247.221. Thanks.LA Movie Buff (talk) 20:01, 15 March 2009 (UTC) Please don't revert it again, whilst I investigate. I'll respond here ASAP. Thanks, OK. :) LA Movie Buff (talk) 20:29, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, -- Chzz ► 20:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC) The reason for the confusion was probably this edit. I suspect Bradp521 was using an 'auto-fix' tool, and the vandalism did actually have a <ref> tag without a closing </ref> - the user probably fixed that without reading/realising it was vandalised. Hope that clears things up. -- Chzz ► 20:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC) For your future reference, in similar cases;
I hope this helps; I won't be continuing to monitor your talk page, so if you do have any further questions, please ask me on my own talk page. Many thanks for helping the fight against vandals! -- Chzz ► 20:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC) Making sure the main dates, birth dates, etc. are no longer linkedYour fixing those links as you go along is great, the simpler the template, the better. Another thing you might check on when you're doing that is whether the main dates, birth dates, etc. are no longer linked. I admit I get fastidious when I work on the templates and do whatever I can to brush up the style. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:37, 15 March 2009 (UTC) Wildhartlivie, can you show me a sample, please?Wildhartlivie, can you show me a sample of one of these types of corrections you have already done, please? Of making sure the main dates, birth dates, etc. are no longer linked? A sample edit from another page so I can see before and after? I am not quite 100% clear on what you are trying to tell me. If I see an example, I should get it. That's how I started doing the Find a Grave template corrections. Thanks. LA Movie Buff (talk) 22:25, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Got it now. Thanks. LA Movie Buff (talk) 01:18, 16 March 2009 (UTC) IMDB template conversionJGKlein, I noticed you going around converting IMDb templates from an older version to a newer, more concise one. While this is appreciated, you need to refrain from using the concise template on people with suffixes on their article names, such as John Phillips (musician). The new template just uses the page name for the link title, so using the it makes their name show up like this: instead of like this: as it should. Please take notice of the article's name before converting it to the new template. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 02:36, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Date delinkingPer this injunction, all editors are asked not to engage in systematic efforts to link or delink dates, pending the resolution of the associated ArbCom case. I suspect you were unaware of this, but I wanted to bring it to your attention as you seem to be delinking many dates. Dragons flight (talk) 17:10, 1 April 2009 (UTC) SongThanks for the message, but I have no time for musical theatre stuff. Any time I spend on musicals now is strictly to save existing articles from disaster. I'm in the middle of working on an FA candidate and just finished an exhausting month with Noel Coward. I'm going to get fired from my job. Seriously!! The song has an interesting history, and I'm sure you could write an article on it if you wish. You can find quite a bit about it on Google. But, of course, there are a lot of famous songs from musicals that could have their own articles, and this song is only really known at all because Frank Sinatra sang it. You can listen to several people singing it on YouTube. I think Liza Minelli puts it over pretty well, although she sings it rather differently from the way it is sung in Cinderella. Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC) ResponseOK, I might write the article. You jogged my memory when you said Frank Sinatra. I think he may have been in the second MGM movie musical from which the song was cut. Pardon my ignorance, but what does FA stand for? Fine Arts? I hope you don't get fired from your job. The economy is in a shambles. Do you know for sure that you are going to be fired, or are you just worried that you might? Either way, I wish you the best of luck. Thanks, LA Movie Buff (talk) 01:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC) Response # 2I have just found out what the second MGM musical was from which the song was cut. It was "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" (1949) with Frank Sinatra and Betty Garrett. You can read about it at this link: [1]. That outtakes still exists - I have seen it. - LA Movie Buff (talk) 01:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject Films
Thanks. I love contributing to Wikipedia about movies. I live in Los Angeles, where Academy Award night parties are the equivalent of Superbowl parties in the rest of the country. LA Movie Buff (talk) 15:35, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
I had not seen any of the films nominated. Times are tough! I am on unemployment, so I have to wait until films come out on DVD or cable TV. I am productively filling my downtime by contributing to Wikipedia, and it's keeping me entertained. About the latest Academy Awards, I had some predictions that were accurate. I knew that Heath Ledger was going to win for Best Supporting Actor, Sean Penn for Best Actor, and Slumdog Millionaire for Best Picture. There was so much media hype about them, those was a no-brainer. LA Movie Buff (talk) 15:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I would caution against doing this too much because we try to avoid treating Wikipedia as a link farm. Individual reviews in "External links" sections can get indiscriminate, which is why it is preferable to link off-wiki to Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, where readers can access multiple reviews without us needing to cherry-pick. If a review is essential enough to mention in the "External links" section, it should be incorporated into the article body. :) —Erik (talk • contrib) 17:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC) Can we put a "disable" on Patrick Swayze for new and unregistered users? Like on Farrah Fawcett?
Can we put a "disable" on Patrick Swayze for new and unregistered users? Like the one that was just put on Farrah Fawcett? People are vandalizing his article by saying he has died. See this latest example: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Patrick_Swayze&diff=289971975&oldid=289745487 I think this would be a great idea to avoid spreading false rumors. Thanks!

LA Movie Buff (talk) 22:43, 14 May 2009 (UTC) Patrick Swayze - reference for his father dying of alcoholismI'm not sure Netglimpse is a reliable source either, since it has a prominently-displayed "Edit" button at the top of the page and doesn't cite its own sources. It would seem no more reliable than IMDB] with respect to personal details. Is this really the best sourcing we can find for a Biography? Rodhullandemu 19:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Farrah Fawcett editsYou've made a number of changes to the citations in Farrah Fawcett, but I do not think they are improving the references. Rather, they are providing generic links to external web sites. For things like People (magazine), it is customary to wikilink to the page, but to link directly to www.people.com does not add to the article. I'd like to go back to the way the article was before these changes, and the way most articles (especially high-profile ones) are. Can you explain your changes in more detail? Thanks!

In the Elizabeth Taylor article, footnote fields are running together. Am I doing something wrong?Hello, In revising Elizabeth Taylor's article, I am using a template for a footnote from a reference book, but for some reason the fields of the footnote are running together. Take a look at Footnote # 1 in this section, which starts with "Parish ...". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Taylor#Superstardom_.281955-1970.29 Notice that "The Hollywood Beauties" is run together with "New Rochelle", etc. Am I doing something wrong with the template?

Auto archivingHi, I've set up this page for auto-archiving, as discussed. Normally, I prefer to explain how to do stuff, but in the case of archive set-up, it's easier to just do it for you. The voodoo to make it work is here; the bot should come along within about a day and kick things off. Note the archive box at the top which, currently, will say "no archives yet (create)" - don't create anything, just let the bot do its thing. It's set to 180 days (180d), you might want to change that. Note that a) it won't archive very small threads or things with no sigs in (ie no date) - you can cut those yourself and paste 'em into the archive page if you want. So - that's about it; no action required, just let the bot do its thing, and - if I've done it correctly - all should be well. If it goes wrong, of course, give me a shout. Cheers!

Look at these two recent vandalisms: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barbara_Walters&diff=prev&oldid=318452194 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barbara_Walters&diff=next&oldid=318832388 I am reading Barbara Walters' autobiography Audition: A Memoir, and I greatly admire her for being one of the first women to break into the previously all-male field of TV news reporting. Her Wikipedia article is being vandalized by young, immature people who think she is an object of ridicule and have no concept of how she has opened doors for other women. I think Barbara Walters is great, and she deserves better. Thanks! JGKlein (talk) 20:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

How do I rename a photo in Wikimedia Commons so my family name is not associated with it?{{help me}} Hello, I just uploaded to Wikimedia Commons a photo of the Aloha Tower in Honolulu. I want this picture to be public domain and to be used freely in Wikipedia. However, after I uploaded it, I realized the title of the file has the name of someone in my family associated with it, and I want to rename it simply "Aloha Tower, Honolulu, Hawaii". How do I either rename the photo, or remove it so I can make another copy of the photo and upload that generic version?

Hollywood Walk of FameRe: Woolley -- you may have something there - I can't find any evidence in the references I have immediately at hand that he was ever on television! I'll do some more digging, and if it holds up, it's definitely an error worth mentioning in the article, so thanks for the suggestion. (Actually, Woolley was really best known for his Broadway acting, but they didn't add the live performance category until 1984.) Re: photos -- Do you have a good shot of the "Four Ladies" gazebo, one that clearly demonstrates the Marilyn Monroe weathervane on top? I realize the only way to really show off the Marilyn sculpture would be from a position about 20 feet above pavement level, and it's hard to find a ladder out on La Brea Avenue, but if you have a good one, it would be great to replace the pathetic one now in the article. Also, do you happen to have a shot of the Parkyakarkus star? It's such an absurd name, and I'd love to be able to add a photo of that star to the article, but couldn't find one in the public domain. Thanks for your note!DoctorJoeE (talk) 16:13, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Discussion inviteI have notice that you used a lot of references about Jack Cassidy from less credible sources. David Cassidy's book is full of half truths and lies and so is the Marty and Shirley book. Jack was not bisexual. That was a rumor during his time working with Cole Porter and Cole was in a wheelchair so I doubt if much went one. Shirley Jones states in articles that her and Jack wanted to reconcile before Jack died. I wish you would just quote more credible sources for Jack.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. WikiEditCrunch (talk) 18:34, 14 November 2015 (UTC) HiNo, I haven't used the Hotmail account in ages. Don't even remember the password.

In the list of what's usually not linked, it says "The names of major geographic features, locations, languages, nationalities, and religions." I am requesting that you don't do this linking any longer and that you revert ones you have done. I suspect other editors will be reverting the links at any rate per the guideline. Stevie is the man!

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Thank youThank you so much for helping out on the genital pain article. I discovered a while ago that clinicians check out these kinds of articles when they are having difficulty finding the cause of some symptoms. I read that in some media report about proj medicine. So adding another cause may just help someone out now or in the future. Rare causes are always welcome.

Jytdog (talk) 18:06, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi I just came across this cross namespace redirect and i wondered what the logic behind its creation is? A visitor looking for an article on this subject will come across your draft article which is ...a draft and not ready to be moved to the mainspace. Would it not be better to create it once the article is ready?Domdeparis (talk) 16:06, 19 July 2017 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification for October 8Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.

I noticed that you added a photo to the article Rickie Sorensen. Sorensen was born in 1946 and would have been 15 years old in 1961 (when this cast photo was taken). The boy in the photo looks to be about ten years old, to my eyes. Are you sure that it is Rickie Sorensen? Thanks. Sir Rhosis (talk) 19:29, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
Proposal to change names of pages for two actors with very similar names
How do I request that the following two Wikipedia articles of very similar names and professions be renamed to avoid confusion? There is a German actor named Paul Hartmann (actor) and an American actor named Paul Hartman. This will cause never-ending confusion unless Paul Hartmann (actor) is renamed "Paul Hartmann (German actor) and Paul Hartman changed to "Paul Hartman (American actor)". Thanks!

I need help with making a sub-category in Wikimedia Commons
I need help with making a sub-category in Wikimedia Commons. I have put a note on my Wikimedia Commons page, but no one has responded yet. Basically, I can't figure out how to make a sub-category for the title of a movie under a director's name. Could someone please get back to me? Here's a link to my Wikimedia commons page: [3] JGKlein 18:01, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
Fair use criteriaPlease note that I've removed the Petticoat Junction image that you added, obviously in good faith, to Gunilla Hutton. Images of living persons cannot be claimed under fair use policy as they nearly always fail non-free content criteria number 1, specifically "No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." As long as it is possible that there could be a free image of the subject available for use, or there could be one available in the future, then fair use cannot be claimed for the copyrighted image in this article.

Helping complete a filmography pageHi, Entertainment Buff, I come to you asking for you're aid in helping to finish the formation of a current page, Earl Holliman filmography. I made it myself in honor of the actor, who is also my personal friend, and I am trying to complete it using the table format for his self appearances and awards/nominations but despite what I try I can't seem to hit the nail on the head (plus, being at personal warfare with a nasty cold doesn't help my either). You seem to be keen on this type of style appearance and if you can by any chance help me to update the last 2 sections of his filmography page and have it all said and done, I would be so grateful and appreciative! Plus, someday in the hopefully near future I'd like to show this off to Earl and make his day down the road. Hope you can lend a hand, finish the page appearance, and thank you for taking the time to read/consider this on my behalf. Thank you again.Black BIC Ballpoint (talk) 14:46, 7 February 2018 (UTC) |
