This is my explanation for the creation of a new page.

“In the name of the law” is a feature film about a San Francisco policeman. On many sites, including the original Wikipedia article on the movie, Honus Wagner was mentioned as have a prominent role in the film. This is not true.

I thought this required a two-prong correction.

First, I corrected the page “In the Name of the Law (1922 Film)” removing references to Honus Wagner. I thought it wasn’t appropriate to explain the Honus Wagner mix-up on the actual movie page.

Second, I thought I should create a second page to explain how Honus Wagner connection occurred. I requested the creation of a new page – “In the Name of the Law (1922 film Honus Wagner).”

This is my rationale for requesting the creation of a new page titled – In the Name of the Law (1922 film Honus Wagner). I think an explanation for the Honus Wagner mix-up should be published somewhere. Note - I am not requesting this page should replace the existing page "In the Name of the Law (1922 film)"

If you have a better solution to clarify this mix-up – please advise.

Thanks

Micheal,

I am unsure how to reach out, so forgive me if I broke any rules, or left this in the wrong place. Through ancestry.com and a photo album left to me by my grandfather, who was a projectionist for Paramount for 40 years, I discovered that my great uncle's photos album have been digitized by the State of California but never annotated, so the photos are largely undiscovered. Leslie E Cuffe began working for Famous Players Lasky in 1920, and went on to be the camera techician for Cecil B DeMille ( with location photos of the Ten Commandments) and Clarence Badger and others. I am not a film buff, but know what I have stumbled upon is of great interest to others. His photos include the projectors from the 1918 film lab at Toronto Tech, pre-production location photos from Old Ironsides, the location filming of The Golden Princess, and wonderful set photos from The Ten Commandments, etc, etc. From director Clarence Badger he purchased his ranch in Lone Pine, which was the site of the Ganga Din.

All I want to do is share, but I have no idea how to do it. And, you sounded like a nice guy :)

Thank you, Karen InmemoryofCuffe (talk) 16:08, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm having a really hard time understanding why you devote *so* much of the article to the Honus Wagner issue. Is this some huge bone of contention over the course of a century or something?

It appears to be completely out of place and disproportionate, and a distraction from actually covering the film itself and its significance and impact.

If we're missing something and somehow Wagner's role or lack thereof is vital to an understanding of the film, please post a message at the top of this page explaining it so we can understand. Do not post it as a section heading, just post it as regular text and sign it, at the top of this Draft page.

@Onel5969: Thanks for your corrections. I have one question. I would like to differentiate between the actual actor's name and the character they play. You suggest I should not bold their name. In order to achieve my goal should I use <em> instead? Thanks Mtjannetta (talk) 17:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. First, I hope you don't mind, but I formatted your question to me. This makes it easier to follow threads on talk pages. Second, if you're asking how to differentiate Jane Thomas (the actress) from Mary Donovan (the character), that's what the "as" denotes. Anyone reading that knows that X as Y in a cast list means that X is the actor and Y is the character. Hope that helps. In general, if you have a question about formatting, or how to do something, you can go to the project which covers the subject, in this case it would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Film. If you go to their assessment page, you can find the a link to their list of FA quality articles (you can click on the "159" in the statistics section and it will show you a list). These are the highest quality articles. However, since they are more in-depth, they usually have casting sections, rather than simple cast lists. In this instance, it's more helpful to look at the "B" classed articles. I clicked on one at random, After Earth, and you can see how they formatted it. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:07, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: Thanks for the tips. I have joined the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film. Since the use of excessive bolding is frown upon, what do you think about this solution instead?

I've done a little bit of work on films myself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Keep up the good work.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:52, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Emory Johnson

Hello. In reference to your creation of Category:Emory Johnson, we don't categorise films by who was involved with them, per WP:PERFCAT so I'll be requesting it's deletion. Also when you create a new category, you should always add categories to it in turn, to connect it to the category hierarchy so that humans and maintenance bots can find it. It also means having a browse of existing categories to see how they fit in. In general we don't have eponymous categories for people unless there are a significant number of articles, templates etc involving them, there's a reasonably high bar for them to be created which most people don't satisfy.

Common Riding

Hi there,

I've noticed you've done a lot of spelling edits to the common riding article. However as this is a particularly "Scots" and Britsh English article. It includes a lot of scots spelling and grammar. e.g. Rideout not Ride out or Reiver not Raider. And the use of Neighbouring not Neighboring. I'm not sure on the whole ou vs o or z vs s rules on wikipedia. But in many instances the corrections don't seem to fit. What is your thoughts on reverting parts of it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lady-shirakawa (talk • contribs) 14:45, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lady-shirakawa

"The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language."

Sorry for the delay. My apologies for using a US English dictionary on your article. I should have noticed what was happening. The beauty of Wikipedia is - you don't need my permission to "reverting parts of it." You can certainly undo most, if not all, of my corrections. Maybe you could place a comment (Making text invisible ) at the top of your article e.g. This article uses the British English dictionary. Mtjannetta (talk) 23:33, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Knute Erickson

I've started a short stubby page on Knute Erickson and broadly taken on board your edits at The Non-Stop Flight - including your mention of his birth name. However, I'd be grateful for a bit of background information - as all published sources that I've seen give his birth name as Erickson, what led you to come up with the name Knut Timar? I'm not doubting your research, just curious. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guy,

More than happy to send you a zip file of my research for that casting summary including why I dismissed the Utah birth claim as a 1-off.

You could send me your email or make other arrangements to receive the ZIP.

Thanks

Michael Jannetta (talk) 23:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. There's an "email this user" link on the sidebar of my user page - I'd better not include my address here. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BTW in my opinion - I think the evidence is pretty firm that Knute was born in Sweden. As I stated previously, I thought the Utah birth article was a one-off. Also, a Utah birth would imply he lied on the federal passport application and a SSN form. Also, several US census records claim his native tongue was swedish and that he was a naturalized citizen.

Just my opinion - your article. Michael Jannetta (talk) 00:02, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maie B. Havey

Hello, I tried to write you a private message but I am a newly created user and the website won't let me send messages. On March 21, 2021, you made a revision in the article of silent film screenwriter Maie B. Havey by adding her date of death as June 1, 1971. I wanted to ask you about the origin of this specific information and if you have access to the source of this data. Thanks. EmptyPocketWaltz (talk) 10:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed the records from my research on the Wiki article "The Devil's Bondwoman." In 2021, as I was working on the screenplay section of the article, when I added a link to Maie Havey. I also noticed that the wiki page of Maie Havey was missing her death date. I filled in death date in Havey wiki page on March 21, 2021. I was confident the Jun 1971 timeframe was correct and probably added the 1st day of the month in order to make the (Death date and age) formula work.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 23:07, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Michael, I would ask you again not to directly edit Jordan Schmidt or any related articles. I do not believe you have been up front about your own conflict of interest here. You initially said you had merely corresponded with the subject's father here and then later in response to questions, added you have been friends with his father for many years here but suggested this was not a conflict. I now note however that you have disclosed your surname, which is the same as his mother's, and you have uploaded a personal photo of hers on her behalf [1]

The kind of peacock and promotional content you have added to the article (including quotes from his wife about how much she loves him!) and to the awards article ("Every reference to Schmidt in the award credits showcases his tireless work ethic, ingenuity, and the high regard his peers and collaborators hold him. These awards showcase his impact and skill in the field, cementing his standing as a crucial figure in crafting and delivering award-winning music") is so blatantly non-neutral that it is genuinely difficult to believe it comes from an experienced wikipedia editor. It clearly shows that your conflict of interest means you do not have the ability to write about this subject neutrally, and therefore should only be using the talk pages to propose changes, not editing directly. Thank you Melcous (talk) 23:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You win!!! I give up!! I will swear on a stack of Bibles and give you my solemn promise that I will never touch Jordan Schmidt's page again. Jordan's father is more than happy never to go on Wikipedia again–same stack of Bibles. I have been writing bios as part of my old work duties before I retired, several websites I used to manage, and on Wikipedia. I have collected close to a gig worth of data on Jordan, including podcasts, mag articles, PDFs and the like. I like to research my subjects thoroughly, no matter who they are. I wrote his bio in good faith with no ulterior motives. In no way ever did I think my words would be construed as promotional, flowery yes–I am guilt of that. My style is what it is. I like to think I'm very thorough in my writings. You win–I'm returning to writing about silent movies and dead people. I would apologize for my grievous sins, but deep in my heart, I believe my writing is honest and true to my style. I did nothing intentionally wrong.

I also noticed you unlinked Jordan's "List of awards and nominations received by Jordan Schmidt" page because "This is a list of awards and nominations; the repetition of certifications (which are already included prominently in the main article) here is puffery. You must take me for an idiot! That “awards and nominations” page is totally different from RIAA awards located on the main page. I did that because other country stars separated their discographers and ACM awards pages. I also thought those ACM charts cluttered that main page but were still important highlight. Being nominated and winning an ACM or billboard award is quite an achievement. Sorry, there I go again.

I also noticed you deleted Jordan's audio engineering listing in his lead and info box–something he's been doing since her was 15–which, when I wrote how he started out at a young age to show in interest in that skill set, you deleted that reference. (Sourced with a podcast}. Recently, I had asked Mark if he could provide a picture of Jordan at his audio console to put on his awards page. Obviously, he will no long need to do this. Many of Jordan's song show him as a programmer, which is closely connected to audio engineering. I chose to combine that with an audio engineer listing. I could have posted a magazine photo of Jordan at his console, but the pic had a Copywrite.

I also noticed you renamed a multi-platinum song recorded by Morgan Wallen that was written by Jordan - Country A$$ Shit to Country Ass Shit. The song is listed in the RIAA as County A$$ Shit. Since I can no longer correct Jordan’s Wiki page without permission, could you please change it back?

I bow to the chief COI inquisitor – enjoy your barnstar! You did a great job with the detective work! I am taking time off to lower my blood pressure. This excursion into the land of living people has been a slice. Have a good life.

God bless

I'm sorry you are so worked up by having this come out into the open. This is exactly why editing about friends and family members is a bad idea. Not wanting to belabour this, but just some clarifications in response:

I did not "unlink" the list of awards; I simply removed the notes to certifications on that page because they are not awards, and they are already included in the main article and did not need to repeated multiple times again

Nor did I rename a song, I simply removed the piping so that the link is to title of the wikipedia article for that song (which I now see is actually a redirect to the article about the album anyway)

And finally, yes I removed "audio engineer" because that is not sourced within the article as an occupation for which he is notable - his work as mixing engineer, producer and songwriter are what is detailed in the article and thus appropriate as listed occupations.

Proposed deletion of Jordan Schmidt discography

Hello, Mtjannetta

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Mach61, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Jordan Schmidt discography, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

Edit the page
Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
