Filmographies

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for tabling the filmography on Claude Rains. It is one of the articles we have listed for tabling and/or adding a filmography at the talk page for WP:ACTOR. I did have a couple questions on the style you used. I wondered why you don't use the rowspan= function to combine film years, which groups the films by year and makes it a bit more easy to see year trends. This is part of the WP:ACTOR style recommendation. I looked a little elsewhere and noticed you don't use that. I didn't see that you'd requested a peer review for Bette Davis filmography and is certainly something I'd recommend had I seen it. It is part of the project recommendations. I also wondered why you numbered the films. That's something I don't see used elsewhere. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:Wildhartlivie. I'm not sure if I respond here or in your own Usertalk page. For this time around I placed a response in your Usertalk under the section entitled "Claude Rains". This message, then, is just a cover in case it should have gone here. — Jimknut (talk) 00:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your nice response. It's odd that I've never run across you before, since you take an interest in film actors, but there are a lot of us out there. Yes, there actually is a preferred style for filmographies, and that can be found at WP:ACTOR#Filmography. You are certainly welcome to join the project and we'd welcome you. There are not a lot of "vocal" members, but there are a few you can always go to for questions, besides myself. Rossrs and Pinkadelica both work with me and you should get basically the same answer from any of us, with some minor variations. You're certainly welcome to join our little group of Wikipedians. Rossrs actually created the Michael Caine filmography, it may have been one of his earlier efforts, although I'm not positive of that. I went ahead and put in the rowspan= in the Claude Rains filmography last night, I was bold, although I didn't do that to Bette Davis filmography, and I do think that should be done, as I said, it gives a better grouping. I think it is fine to put in television and stage credits in what we call a filmography, it really is a section/area to cover the body of work, and those credits do cover that. I prefer to put awards in the notes section of the filmography and I think most of us do that, using the lists from IMDB. The Anna Neagle article is very nice. If you are looking for things to work on, there is a list at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers#Filmography tables that all need either tabling or even a filmography list added. We work on it as it goes on. I started that with just Academy Award winners, it seemed a good place to start.
It's nice to talk with you and please feel free to contact me anytime! Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's great. I would make one or two comments. Don't abbreviate awards in the notes column. While most people would probably guess what it is, it's best to spell it out. The columns will adjust themselves for spacing. I'm not a huge fan of extensive listings of co-stars and I'm iffy on the directors, but I wouldn't tell you not to do it. If you do, and it seems the spacing may be an issue, you can always use the <br> to break the list of co-stars into two fairly equal lines. The main reason I'm iffy on the two columns is because that will be covered quite well in the article for the film and usually, people will click over to it to learn more if they want to know.

I'd certainly break Gary Cooper out into a separate page. It would nicely fit three tables (films, short films and TV appearances). I think Ronald Colman can be contained on one page. Whenever you do get them done, if you'd remove them from the listings on the talk page for WP:ACTOR, no one will be concerned with getting to them. Thanks so much. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I notice that two filmographies started by me, are mentioned here. Bette Davis filmography and Michael Caine filmography. Wildhartlivie is right - they are both early efforts (and they could both stand some improvement). The Davis one came first, although it's been added to considerably since. I notice you've been working on it, and that's great. It's long overdue. I would not number them now, as I did with Michael Caine's. I remember copying the format from another one, I forget which. The Ronald Colman filmography is a very good piece of work. You've done a fine job with it. Rossrs (talk) 16:12, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. I also find the co-stars to be interesting, and I included them in both the Davis and Caine filmographies, although I have not included them in most of the filmographies I've started. I think the general feeling is to keep the filmography simple. The difficulty is in establishing context. For example, early in the career the person we're dealing with may show up as number 10 on the billing and their contribution may be minor, mid career they may be top billed, and at the end of their career they may be included as a featured player or in a cameo role. On the other hand, even less context is given with the basic filmography, so overall, I would agree with your opinion. I'm fortunate to be some distance from the bushfires. I can't comprehend over 200 people being killed, entire families in several cases, and towns being destroyed to the last building. It's been a terrible week in Australia. Rossrs (talk) 02:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald Colman filmography

[edit]

It looks quite nice. Just a few quick notes. I'm not quite sure what to do with citations on filmographies. When a specific fact comes from a source, I try to put it in the proper place, but I realize that probably isn't possible when a wide variety of facts in a table comes from one source. Perhaps the films designated as "Lost" might be linked to the sources, whatever those were? On the awards that were actually won, it isn't necessary to designate those as won, that should be apparent since they aren't noted as only a nomination. When I look at a page like this, I look at it in terms of quality (assessment level quality) and in this case, I'm wondering if the introduction has sources that can be added. It's a nice looking page! Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As usual, your work is lovely to look at, well constructed and detailed. Great job. To answer your question - the reason is because this isn't the IMDb and it wouldn't provide the reader that information if we send them to another website to see a filmography listing. Plus, the IMDb link is already on the page, if a reader wants to look there. A couple comments. Regarding this: "Also, the IMDb lists Cooper in a small role in Red Hair (1928). This seems highly unlikely as well, as he was an established star by that time." That would be considered unsupported speculation. You give a source for the sentence preceeding that. It isn't impossible that Cooper may have filled a small role as a favor for someone, or perhaps just for fun, so a source to support that it wouldn't happen would be necessary. I put in the full proper links to the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama and New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor where they are needed. With a lot of awards, there are separate pages for individual awards and should be used when possible. I'd say this is even true if our page for the award doesn't presently have all the nominees, because it is possible/likely that someone will come along and fill that in at some point. And a "just so you know": when there are more than 12 references, use the double column mark-up of {{reflist|2}}. But all in all, this is a wonderful page, great job!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 19:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That works, although I'd replace "Unfortunately" with either "However" or "Although". "Unfortunately" is considered an opinion word that imparts a judgment. It is unfortunate, but MOS:OPED doesn't like it. :) Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am SO sorry! I had a migraine the other night when youc left the note for this, and completely spaced answering you. The filmography looks great. I'd take a break too, if I'd just done that.

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Millandlost.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria.

It looks quite nice. My only comment would be that the projects are trying to move away from using the green background yes templates, mostly because of their issues to color-blind individuals. I'm not clear on what you'd use in its place unless it would be checkY {{check mark}}. I don't think the Woody Allen filmography would survive a featured list review now. It's not well-referenced enough. Yours is much better referenced.

Okay, my comments regarding the recentism of the featured articles - or really to extend it, to most articles in general. I think this is a factor of the interests and ages of those who take the time to make them. Someone won't generally be included to work that hard on an article/list in which they have little interest. I know I'd run screaming into the night if I were to be expected to something similar to the Doris Day discography. It's also harder to do, the sources aren't as readily available online, and going to the library would be too much like work. Of course, that's just my opinion, but I bet a survey of the creators would hold that true. Good work! Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:24, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The directions are spelled out at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates. I think that since it has both the green and the word Yes, that should be OK - see WP:ACCESS. If you like the summary numbers but not in the lead, what about as an introductory sentence or two in the section where the tables are? Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clint Eastwood filmography

I've responded to your suggestions at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Clint Eastwood filmography/archive1. I was wondering if you could take another look. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it. Happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 17:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware, since I went to my talk page first. Thanks for the heads up! I'm glad, and although I initially thought that the list would have passed earlier, the article has improved because of the suggestions by the reviewers. If you haven't already, I'd recommend asking those who have already left comments to take another look at the list (some of these reviewers look at a lot of lists and may not watchlist it). For the last film it says in the notes section "Dedicated to our friend and collaborator, Gene Kelly". Perhaps a note before this could say that the director/actors/whoever included this in the film. Otherwise it just seems like the editors here thought the film was dedicated to him. Best wishes with the nomination! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are a few dablinks and redirects which should be fixed before the nomination is closed. If you could address these in the next 24 hours, that'd be great as I'll be able to close it in time for User:GimmeBot's run. If not, let me know and I'll try to address them myself.

John Wayne filmography

[edit]

I looked at John Wayne filmography (1926–1940), John Wayne filmography (1941–1960), and John Wayne filmography (1961–1976). I also looked at every featured list that is a filmography. None of the other filmographies are anywhere as near as long as a combined single John Wayne filmography would be (185 films as actor plus more as producer). I think I would ask for comments about combining the three current lists into one at WikiProject films and perhaps on the FLC talk page.

It may be there are technical reasons to avoid a list with 184 films in it. I know List of Pennsylvania state parks has 120 parks and is fairly slow to load (and we had to stop using the {{convert}} template in the list as it broke from being used too many times). If there are no technical reasons not to, I think I would prefer a sinlge list. If the three current lists are merged, then redirects would take care of most of the linking issues.

Now for my comments on the individual lists, starting with things common to all three.

  • The lead needs to be expanded for all three (currently a single sentence in each). I would wait to work on the leads until you decided (based on feedback) on whether or not to have one list or three. Since there are no more John Wayne films being made, I think it would be fine to include the number of films covered in the lead of each list (184 if one list). See WP:LEAD
  • There need to be references for anything in the lead / overview which is not in the lists themselves.
  • The refs for the lists themselves could be made clearer (assume there are general refs in most cases).
  • The overviews tend to have a lot of short (one or two sentence) paragraphs which should be either combined with others or perhaps expanded, all to improve the flow of the article.
  • Watch non-neutral language, so in the first list there is Fortunately, Wayne kept on friendly terms with John Ford and, as a result, gave Wayne a career boost with Stagecoach (1939). - mnay would see the use of "Fortunately" as not following WP:NPOV
  • Similarly extraordinary claims need refs and would probably read better as attribuited statements, so in the second list For instance, he followed one of his finest films, The Quiet Man, with one of his weakest, Big Jim McLain. By contrast, after making one of the worst films that he (or anyone else for that matter) made, The Conqueror, he made one of the greatest films that he (or anyone else for that matter) made, The Searchers. needs refs and the language needs to be toned down or perhaps used as direct quotations.
  • Seems odd that there are no images in any of the lists.
  • I would try and standardize the descriptive blurbs about the films some - for example (you do not have to follow this model) it might make sense to mention the genre, then costars, then format, then other comments. As it is these tend to be a bit jumbled.
  • Is there any idea of the films he worked on as just a prop boy or are they all listed here?
  • In general I would look at what you learned from the Gene Kelly FL and apply it here too.

A few specfic points I noticed: 1) In the first list, Bardelys the Magnificent is listed as a lost film, but the article says a print was found in France and it is now available. The link there is odd too - film is linked, but I would have linked lost film 2) In the second list, there is a separate list of films where he served as producer only. Most of the other FL filmographies where someone has multiple roles (actor / director / producer , etc.) list all the films together. This might be something else to ask about. If you do combine, then there would probably need to be columns for actor / producer and any other roles he had. 3) In the third list, there is inconsistent use of red links for films without articles - they should all either be red links (probably my preference) or all just bold with no link. As it is a few are red, the rest are just unliked.

I hope this helps, let me know if yoiu have questions or I am unclear. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:33, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I responded at the filmography FL review, but wanted to explain my comment about ALT text a bit more. When I first started adding the text, it was recommended to me that the descriptions be very general, always keeping in mind that this is primarily for the visually impaired person. I'll use the alt text I added for File:Scarlett Johansson in Kuwait 01b.jpg: "The face of a smiling woman with blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail, wearing bright red lipstick, small gold hoop earrings, a heavy gold link chain around her neck, and a pink scoop necked shirt." Or perhaps alt text written by my friend Rossrs for Image:SharonTatepregnant.jpg: "A candid snapshot of Tate, taken at her home on the morning of her murder. She is shown in profile, from the knees up, and is wearing only a bikini, clearly showing her advanced pregnancy." These are just suggestions and examples. If it were me, I'd explain the tramp outfit - too-tight coat, poor fitting, small bowler hat, etc. As I said, just suggestions. Good luck on the rest of the FL review!

Mary Pickford filmography

[edit]

Sorry to have taken so long to look at this again, but it looks great to me - here are the only things I noticed.

  • In Biograph (1912–1913), the next to last film (The New York Hat) is labeled her final film for Biograph, but another was released afterwards. Should this be noted somehow? I assume it is a case of last to be released vs last film made?
  • This reads oddly The earliest features she made for Zukor were released in the United States through a State rights basis, whereas regional organizations in each state handled the distribution of each film.[20] Either "through a State rights agreement" or "on a State rights basis" soudns better, and using "where" instead of "whereas" seems better too.
  • Since there are not going to be any more Pickford films made, would it make sense to give exact numbers for the various tables? So instead of the ubiquitous "Except where noted all of these films survive.", how about something like "Pickford made 13 films for Artcraft, of which one is lost, one sruvives partially, and the remaining 11 are complete."
  • How about this instead In 1945 she and her third husband, Charles "Buddy" Rogers, co-founded Comet Productions to produce "B" pictures for United Artists.[24]

Gunsmoke list

[edit]

Hi. Thanks for asking me. One of the first things I see that could potentially be problematic are the citations to Amazon.com. Did anyone mention that the links are to a commercial sales site? I'd be concerned that those links would hamper passing. Besides the amazon site, is there references for how many episodes were made per season or the other content preceeding each season? On the very last listing of DVD releases, Gunsmoke TV-movie DVD releases, the date of release format is different than the other sections. It needs a reference for the Neilsen ratings section and the shows on opposite it or if cite #19 is for that table, it needs to be in that table to make it clearer. Otherwise, I think it looks quite good. It's a nice addition to the encyclopedia. Hope that helps. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, that's sort of odd that the Amazon cites would be okay, since we generally frown upon that in regular film and actor articles. *shrug* If it's okay with him. Could you perhaps stick in a citation at the sections to where the content about number of episodes, cast members and producers came from? I hope this passes. Good luck. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:25, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand using the Amazon for the DVD releases, but I was wondering if this book, which you used as a reference in the page, wouldn't have the individual episodes information. It looks from its synopsis that it would. And thanks for the cites you put in. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good deal. I just don't want the FLC to be fouled by questions easily fixed. Good luck! Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer

[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:03, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Green and yes

[edit]

Hi Jimknut, hope you're well, it was good to hear from you, in spite of the difficult circumstances. My only real advice here is what you'd be offered in any such edit war situation. Unfortunately, just because FLC determined that a green background with a Yes was acceptable (or even preferable to a plain background) it doesn't overrule the community. Personally I'd ask for a consensus on the talkpage of said filmography, or even at the relevant wikiproject. Of course, it may not the way of the status quo, but at least it's a gauge of the community's feelings on the matter, rather than simply reverting one another. I would encourage Jack Merridew to participate in such a discussion as well, and of course, the classic WP:BRD can be invoked to assist you in this. I know these are things that you're no doubt aware of, but it's not so much an FL issue, more of a consensus thing. Hope that helps and happy to assist you with anything else, related to this or otherwise. All the best. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:52, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm either way on the coloring regarding the yes boxes, but my mine preference was just having the divided up roles instead of having to create several tables to split up by actor, director, producer, and music. I've reverted the bold formatting for the years in film and television because I haven't seen any discussion regarding that, but if one is pointed out to me, I'll change it back. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talkcontrib) 05:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jimknut, and thanks for reviewing the above FLC. When you get the chance, can you revisit it to ensure your concerns have been resolved and if possible, declare whether you support, oppose or are neutral toward the list's promotion to FL status?

Thelma Todd vs IMDB

[edit]

Hi Jimknut. Thanks for popping by my talkpage. As for your question, well I agree that in the past IMDB has been considered an un-reliable source. I think that there's a good chance that this would be brought up and used against a list which uses it as a reference. Of course, this is just my opinion, and consensus rules, and if you have good reason to suspect the references within IMDB you use are reliable (i.e. aren't those which can be contributed by Joe Public) then there wouldn't be a problem, otherwise I think you'd have difficulty...

As a regular at FLC, I'd like to draw your attention to ongoing discussion here about changes to the format of tables which will affect all existing FLs and all current and future FLCs.

Jim, would you please give your opinion in the FLC of the above article? Much appreciated, — Legolas (talk2me) 08:22, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Jim. I have two questions though. About the table width, since I'm using {{awards table}} it automatically chooses the breadth. Should I use manual table declarations? The next questions is an extension of this one. Because of using the template, the table heading gives it as "Nominated work". — Legolas (talk2me) 09:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, I did some more tweaking. What do you think of it now? — Legolas (talk2me) 11:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jim, you had asked me to notify you if the FLC had received a spot check and review check, well User:Giants2008, one of the delegates of the FLC did this. Would you care to visit now? — Legolas (talk2me) 05:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Jim, I will be happy to look over the article in the weekend. Is that fine? Lol, you love Madhuri Dixit's pics? She's my favorite actress though.

Hepburn FAC

[edit]

I have responded to your comment on the Kate Hepburn FAC page. I really hope you can withdraw your concern. --Lobo512 (talk) 16:51, 28 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jimknut. I'm hoping you can repond to the comment I left you. Does your oppose still stand? It could get in the way of this FAC attempt, which would be rather unfair and nonsensical because the Higham book really is one of the best Hepburn bios (one of the only ones that isn't a sensationalist "tell all"). Among Hepburn fans, it is considered one of the best. I can imagine that's hard to get your head around when you have such a bad opinion of him due to the Flynn book, but truly it's the case. It's not an amazing book, it's fairly simple, but it definitely doesn't do anything wrong. I'd appreciate if you can get back to me about this, thanks. --Lobo512 (talk) 12:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Jim. If you could make sure to include a comment on the FAC page, so it's clear to delagates that you withdraw the oppose, that would be great. --Lobo (talk) 17:05, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Templates at FAC

[edit]

In a word, don't use them. All FAC review pages get transcluded into a monthly archive once closed, and if we used templates like that in them, those archive pages will hit the various transclusion limits. The preferred practice is to utilize the talk page for the FAC review. Since I was expecting to support the article, I didn't make my minor review comments on the FAC page proper; instead I posted them on Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/Sinking of the RMS Titanic/archive1, and linked to them from Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Sinking of the RMS Titanic/archive1. If you want to "cap" your comments, please move them to the talk page and leave behind a link on the review page itself. Using that collapsible template will cause troubles later though, so I removed it. Imzadi 1979  00:49, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Main Page appearance

[edit]

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the Charlie Chaplin filmography know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on April 16, 2012. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/April 16, 2012. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors The Rambling Man (talk · contribs), Dabomb87 (talk · contribs) or Giants2008 (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :D Thanks! Tbhotch.

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Crystalhair.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Your edit here. Your edit summary says Corrected year of birth to 1915. This is the year of birth Patricia Morison has stated as correct. This date has also been validated by 1920 and 1930 census records. This appears to be original research. Although you may be entirely correct we must cite reliable published sources. Timothy Dalton and Bernard Lee have the same problem: original research confirms Dalton's year of birth and Lee's place of birth but we must cite alternate y-o-b and p-o-b stats. - Fantr (talk) 19:16, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
