Talk:Oliver Hardy filmography

source

The source i use is the filmography on laurelandhardyforum.com the members are experts and very knowledgeable. As far as i know you dont need cites for fimography pages, however i assume you wanted verification these films starred ollie, so i looked, the freeloader is an alternate name for the pest, so that can be deleted.

Thanks for this. But isn't that just a user forum where people submit content - IE it's exactly the same as IMDB and WP? How is that info verified? And if you don't need to cite a source on a filmography, what's from stopping someone adding dozens of films, weather they are geniune or not? Lugnuts 12:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And further to this, that site lists The Globe starring both Hardy and Charlie Chaplin, but this film doesn't exist on IMDB, or against either actor. What are the odds of that?! Lugnuts 12:41, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well its a judgement call because cites are hard to find, he starred in Globe Hotel according to the L&H forum, filmspot and this article in its current form, but not IMDb. IMDb contains errors too as i'm sure you are aware. I think its best to leave the cite request until someone can say definitively whether he starred in it or not.

It's bright and early with another name. You were removing films i knew he starred in without it being clear that you were removing duplication.Operating 17:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So how do you know for 100% that he's in the film? Do you have a copy of the film? Lugnuts 10:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
