non-free image

Hi! I saw that you used a non-free image on User:Lemuellio/Pohádky Ťisíce a Jedné Noci. Unfortunately, you can not use non-free media outside of mainspace (see WP:NFCC), which includes that you can not use it on a userspace draft. I have therefore removed the file. After you have moved the page to mainspace, you can re-insert the file. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:33, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Jung

Lemuellio regarding your edits of the Tom Jung article today - Perhaps we can collaborate a bit going forward on this article - I put quite a bit of effort into sourcing all of the information in the article as well as working with other web sites and the Academy Library to document Tom's career. I am the primary creator of the article. The format and chronology of the article were specifically set up to focus on Tom's biography, his notable poster art and then the progression and documentation of his art. The chronological edit I will undo for now - If you feel strongly about the edit perhaps we can discuss.Jobrjobr (talk) 03:52, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jobrjobr - sorry you didn't like my rearrangement of your text; I certainly didn't mean to make anyone feel I was stepping on their toes. My edits were simply intended to make the page more readable by consolidating most of the existing text into an easily followable linear narrative. For example, when reading the article for the first time, it was a little disorienting to have information on the 1977 Star Wars art scattered across three different sections, rather than collected next to the image in question. It's my hunch that most Wikipedia users appreciate a linear arrangement, since it keeps information chronologically ordered, but I'm happy to hear your thoughts.--Lemuellio (talk) 04:04, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Lemuellio if it were just rearrangement of text I would have no qualms. As I work through your edits it seems some were more than rearrangement. Let me try and finish going through your edits before we discuss further.Jobrjobr (talk) 05:15, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! - Georges Méliès

I sent you an automated thank you earlier in the day (and have absolutely no idea what it did - nothing seems to have appeared here or on your user page), but wanted to personally express my appreciation for your recent edits to Georges Méliès related articles. I had done quite a bit of work on his filmography page several months ago, but by the time I had finished, it was still far from being in good shape. While it certainly isn't within sight of completion yet, your contributions have done a lot to help. I left a few questions for you on the the Talk Page and hope that you are able to continue improving it. :) --Jpcase (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry, I received a notification immediately -- and greatly appreciated it! I'll keep working on the page when I have spare moments, using the two Flicker Alley collections as well as other published sources, and I'll try to answer your talk page questions to satisfaction. Glad to be of help!--Lemuellio (talk) 23:27, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject Film Award
I, Jpcase (talk), hereby award Lemuellio the WikiProject Film Award for his/her valued contributions to WikiProject Film. For completing, organizing, and referencing Georges Méliès filmography, an article of great importance to the history of film.
Awarded 15:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

I had been waiting to give this to you until we finished Georges Méliès filmography, but really, I feel that you earned it within your first few days of editing that article. I've left some final notes on your work over at the talk page and if you ever get the chance to discuss them with me, I would certainly appreciate it. However, I also understand if you are no longer able to devote any more of your time to this project. What you've already done is remarkable and amounts to much more than I ever expected you to give. So I just wanted to say thank you again for making an invaluable contribution to the coverage of film on Wikipedia. It's been a pleasure working with you. --Jpcase (talk) 15:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so very much, Jpcase! It's nice to know my contributions are appreciated.
As you've probably guessed from how long it's taken me to reply about this, the time I have available for Wikipedia is much more limited and varying now than it used to be. That said, I haven't forgotten about the Méliès pages, and will continue to work slowly away at them if/when I get the chance. I've just started answering some of your notes on the talk page, and will get to the rest of them eventually. Thanks again!--Lemuellio (talk) 19:50, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just letting you know that I've left a new post at Talk:Georges Méliès filmography. Sorry for not replying to you sooner. My time for Wikipedia is getting to be quite limited as well right now.

The Oregon Desert DYK

  • Regarding DYK on The Oregon Desert, this was my first article on a specific book so wasn’t quite sure how to approach DYK hook. Have provided 3 alternative hooks. First, shortens hook text and specifically cites OPB as sources. Second, cited OPB, but only takes out the word "successfully". Third, is less interesting, but very neutral. I included link to on-line copy of book to make checking third hook easy as possible. Thanks for review/comments...hopefully this will make DYK acceptable.--Orygun (talk) 23:07, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Lemuellio - I wanted to add a personal note here by thanking you for your work on this article. It's an interesting topic for sure. Unfortunately, the article didn't meet the GA criteria "Broad in its coverage" so I failed it. But I want to encourage you to renominate the article if you choose to expand it. Best, --Rosiestep (talk) 15:17, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's quite all right. I nominated it some days ago in a moment of weakness, simply because I really liked the way it looked; after more reasoned consideration, I realized that it was by no means detailed enough for a GA, but by then the nomination had already been submitted and I couldn't figure out how to rescind it. Thanks very much for looking it over, and for the very helpful advice on how to make it better!--Lemuellio (talk) 15:35, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • My pleasure Lemuellio. If there's anything you want me to take a look at in the future, or to work on together, just drop me a note as I really want to make more time for GA level articles. --Rosiestep (talk) 15:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You've done a great job expanding it. It really reads like the work of a professional film scholar. To think that it was a former GA article before you expanded it too! Out of curiosity does your interest extend beyond Melies to the general silent film period of French film and even into the 30s and 40s? It's just as a major film buff I'm into quite a lot of the more obscure films of the 20s, 30s and 40s and have been trying to find a lot of them on the Internet and looking in bargain bins and that. I created film lists like List of French films of 1910 etc which really need expansion. They're a great place to document film history by year.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:50, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Blofeld: Thanks for the kind words! In film history, most of my knowledge centers on a few filmmakers like Méliès and Karel Zeman (often called the "Czech Méliès"!), but I have a wide interest in the field as a whole, and I'm glad to see there are editors working on the subject. Keep up the good work, and thanks for your help with A Trip to the Moon!--Lemuellio (talk) 15:03, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
On the merger proposal of the perma stubs, you may as well go ahead and start the merger. So long as the original creator of the article is aware of it to avoid potential conflicts. If anybody complains I'll step in. Just make sure that the articles you merge really can't be expanded. I believe you've identified a couple which shouldn't be though. Feel free to contact me in future to look at your articles.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:08, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! In each case, the original creator either seems to be aware or has not edited WP for some time, so I think all is well. I haven't found any way to expand the permastubs, but the Actuality films by Georges Méliès page has space for additional information in any case. It's a pleasure working with you.--Lemuellio (talk) 23:41, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mrs. Howard Paul DYK

Hi. Either of those ALTs are fine with me. Or something about her walking out of the cast of H.M.S. Pinafore after her part was cut down. I left a suggestion at the DYK, but please go ahead with whichever one you like best. You might also want to use her photo. -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:34, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssilvers: Looks good to me. I'm new to the DYK process, so I'd like to let you and Jack make the final decision. An excellent new article!--Lemuellio (talk) 17:38, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We'd rather go with the one mentioning H.M.S. Pinafore if that's OK with you. If you like the other ones more, then either is OK. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:38, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Ssilvers: Fine by me. When I read it, it struck me that you could remove the mention of Lady Sanzagure entirely and still have a good, intriguing hook ("... that Mrs Howard Paul walked out of the cast of H.M.S. Pinafore when her part was reduced?"), but if you'd rather keep it the way it is, that's fine.
Pardon my confusion over the DYK process; is anything more required of me at this time, or is it now up to another editor to add the hook to preps?--Lemuellio (talk) 20:09, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As a certified technophobe, I don't know anything about the procedure, except that you need to add the little checkmark. Can you try to find out who can add it to the preps? Maybe you can yourself? -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:18, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've just looked it up; I've been discouraged against adding it myself (and you and Jack aren't allowed to either, apparently), but the page assures me that another editor will finish the process soon. I look forward to seeing it on the Main Page.--Lemuellio (talk) 21:24, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Georges Méliès

Hello Lemuellio. Thank you for inviting me to join the discussion about Georges Méliès. Two years ago I put a lot of effort into extending an article about G. A. Henty's classic English novel Bonnie Prince Charlie: A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden and then the whole article was deleted because the novel was reconsidered as not notable. The title of this novel still appears in Henty's bibliography. Based on this experience I suggest to create a filmography of Georges Méliès and to launch it as an article in its own right. Against the background of Méliès having produced a plethora of films I also wonder whether some of his short works could be categorised as part of a project and to write about that.NordhornerII (talk)I am not a number! I am a Nordhorner. 08:57, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@NordhornerII: You're welcome, and thanks for your thoughts!
The filmography article is here: Georges Méliès filmography.
As for grouping some of his shortest films together into longer articles, I agree that's a very viable and useful way of doing things. Several Méliès articles do just that: Actuality films by Georges Méliès, A Lightning Sketch, Comedian Paulus Singing, Paris Exposition, 1900 (film series), and The Dreyfus Affair (film series). If you notice other intuitive groupings that could be used, please do suggest them!
Sorry to hear about your deleted article; it's always frustrating to put work into something and have it removed like that. And thanks again for your suggestions!--Lemuellio (talk) 15:11, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Lemellio, I feel I have to apologise for my oversight. As my grammar probably gave away, I was in a hurry (and I had issues with the keyboard I was using). Well, I am convinced that all film of Georges Méliès are notable, even if they are very short. If trivial pop songs can get their own article, each and every film of Méliès deserves at least that. It has been said that some films of Méliès were also kind of trivial because they show only "la vie quotidienne" but I guess exactly that was actually trail-blazing. Many early silent movies depict only physical action because their was just no sound. When Méliès showed people sitting together having a meal and chatting he proved that silent movies could be entertaining even if the audience would get only a fraction of what the depicted people were saying. This certainly helped to make early adaptions of literature possible. All his films, even the merely experimental ones, were instructive for later filmmakers who could e.g. get an idea on where to place the camera for filming scenes of real life. (And thus scenes, perhaps not interesting enogh for a whole film, would later serve to complete a narrative.) NordhornerII (talk)I am not a number! I am a Nordhorner. 20:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Nordhorner. Coming at this from a film historian's point of view (and full of admiration for all the template and table work that has been put in BTW) I think any film surviving from Méliès is worthy of note especially given how few did make it so far. Therefore a redlink is proper and should any of us get data it can be added. We still dream of a trunk being found in some attic...

Query about Dreyfus Affair title

What great work you've done with the Méliès films! I teach a large unit in my film class on early origins and this adds a lot of information. I've a question --and perhaps a suggestion -- in terms of the title for the article on Méliès series on the Dreyfus Affair. The title currently is "The Dreyfus Affair (film series)". There are, however, two other silent film series on The Dreyfus Affair. Would it make sense to alter the title to "The Dreyfus Affair (1899 film series)"? This would make it easier to distinguish as articles get added on the other two series and would make it clearer in the index of articles on films on the Dreyfus Affair. While the films were made in different years, they were all released in 1899, so this seems a reasonable choice. I don't know how to make such a chance -- and clearly you've lots of experience with such things. (Apologies too if this is posted in the wrong place -- I wasn't sure if it belonged here directly to you or on the talk page of the article.) Cygnature (talk) 17:55, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cygnature: Hello! Thanks for the kind words. I'd read about Pathé's Dreyfus series, but I didn't know there was a third series with the same title. Who produced it?
In general (with some inevitable exceptions), Wikipedia tries to make article titles just precise enough to keep them distinguishable from other currently existing articles. (See WP:TITLE and WP:NCF for more info.) Under those guidelines, "The Dreyfus Affair (film series)" seems to be the most suitable title for the article, since it's the only currently existing Wikipedia article about a film series called The Dreyfus Affair.
By the same token, if articles are created for one or both of the other series of the same name, then we should definitely change the title of the Méliès article as you suggest. I hope that makes sense—please do let me know if you have any questions! --Lemuellio (talk) 18:23, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Lemuellio:It turns out there may actually be two more series, one by American Biograph with only 2 episodes and one in 8 parts, including some actual footage from the trial, by the Société Française de Mutoscope et Biographe (which is in the holdings of the Filmmuseum in Amsterdam). I'll do some research on these to see if there is enough information to make an article. Typically I mostly do "gnome" edits, so I'll have to see if I have time to figure out how to start an article. The Pathé one is definitely called in English The Dreyfus Affair, so at that point adding dates into the titles would make sense. Thanks for such a warm response. Cygnature (talk) 16:51, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Cygnature: Sounds good! Best of luck, and let me know if you need any help. --Lemuellio (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge

Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Thanks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:47, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kôr

(I hope you don't mind too much. I need a little help. This is a copy/paste from the appropriate discussion page, She: A History of Adventure. The page doesn't get much traffic.)


In the #Synopsis, paragraph 3, 1st sentence, "the lost city of Kôr". Kôr redirects to Tolkein's fictional ancient ruin Tirion. Tolkein had borrowed the name in early editions of one of his more obscure titles, and then, it seems, he thought better of it and renamed his town Tirion (maybe he only intended Kôr as a placeholder). My point being, Kôr would more usefully be redirected to this article. Tolkein is arguably more popular today, but Hagger was earlier by several decades, and a best seller of his era. She the novel was certainly well known to Tolkein; this was no coincidence.

I am not good with redirects and disambig. I seem to create them by accident, but in trying intentionally, I do more harm than good. If some kind editor could correct this case of well-intended misdirection, I would be grateful.

Jules Verne

Hi, I was reading the article on Jules Verne and the intro on Verne's work i.e.: "His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions, where he has often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed" didn't seem right, considering his status nowadays.

I took a look at the source [1] and read further down, which stated "But during the mid to late 1980s, partly due to this renaissance of French interest in Verne during the previous two decades, his literary reputation suddenly began to improve in Great Britain and America as several university scholars completed their Ph.D.s on his Voyages extraordinaires: Andrew Martin at Cambridge in 1982, William Butcher at Queen Mary College in 1985, and myself at Columbia University also in 1985. These doctoral dissertations on Verne were subsequently published as books100 and constituted the first serious English-language scholarship on Verne in several decades, paving the way for more advanced study of this French author in the United States and England. "

I took a look at the diffs and saw you added that section back in April of 2013 [2]. I've gone ahead and fixed it, but I just wanted to give you a heads up to be more cautious when interpreting sources. David O. Johnson (talk) 05:58, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hallo, Thank you for creating Not Guilty (1908 film). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Not Guilty ), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find your article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 22:40, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
