Welcome to PaulJones's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply.

The Belle of Mayfair

Thanks for the links. I created a bunch of new stubs and expanded a bunch of old British musicals today and have to stop now. Any chance you could put something up for Edna May? She seems to be a really big actress of the time. Regards, --Ssilvers 18:48, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, will do. However, it can not be today as I have to finish for tonight. I will do something in the next day or two. Thanks for all your work on the late Victorian and Edwardian British musical! PaulJones 18:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
curiosity got the better of me. PaulJones 19:36, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Well, I thought I was working on WP:G&S, but one think led to another, and I've put up stubs or expanded several dozen British musicals, plus done articles on composers, writers, and performers. Help! I'm addicted to Wikipedia. --Ssilvers 22:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Expanded articles

I did a major expansion on Malcolm Sargent and Seymour Hicks. If you have time, see what you think. I'm sure they could use more wikifiying, correction of all my errors ;-) etc. Best regards, --Ssilvers 20:36, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give them a look. They certainly look comprehensive... PaulJones 21:17, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

THanks! Also Ellaline Terriss, Hicks' wife -- new entry. -- Ssilvers 23:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A southern maid

Adrian Ross had nothing to do with the musical "A Southern Maid" from 1920 at Daly's (5 years after George Edwardes death, so Edwardes had nothing to do with it either.) It was first produced earlier in 1917 at Princes Theatre.

What confused the writer of the Ross article at the Boisestate site, I think was that there was a 1933 film of the same name that had a costume designer named Adrian Ross. See [1] and [2]. Best regards, --Ssilvers 04:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I concede regarding the 1917 date. I am not so sure about stating that Adrian Ross had nothing to do with it though. See [[3]] and [[4]]. It may be that the Ross contribution was added in the 1920 production. PaulJones 09:33, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I just spent a considerable amount of time looking around, and I am becoming more convinced that Ross did provide some lyrics. For some reason, the film credits him as a costume designer, but I am guessing that is a mistake. See my newest changes to the entry. -- Ssilvers 14:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that we are slowly getting there! The Internet Movie Database gives Norman Hartnell as costume designer in the film version. There is certainly an interesting mix of people involved in that film. PaulJones 18:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Russell, Evett

I added info to Scott Russell and standardised the format with the other DOC biographies. Evett was also an ex-D'Oyly Carter. If you look at the stub, I added a link. Do you want to take a crack at expanding him? Best regards, --Ssilvers 15:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link. Yes, I will do. I was planning to anyway at some point. Regards, PaulJones 17:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

W. S. Gilbert FA candidate

Hey, Paul: The W. S. Gilbert article has received a lot of work in the past month (and we responded to two peer reviews), and it has been nominated as a Featured Article. If you can get to it, please review it and then weigh in on the nomination at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. S. Gilbert, or else let us know if you have any further comments or suggestions about the article. Regards, -- Ssilvers 02:05, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I left some comments on your talk page. Hopefully they are helpful. PaulJones 21:42, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of fixing the problems when I was going to Sam's page to talk to him about another subject. The Kendals (not Kendalls) were Tom Robertson's sister and her husband, but my reference source of choice indicated that another person was actually responsible for managing the theatre, so I just deleted the phrase. Adam Cuerden ^talk 22:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for these excellent comments. The Kendals starred in all these Fairy comedies, but I agree that it was not necessary to name them here. If you're satisfied with the article now, please go ahead and weigh in here -- Ssilvers 02:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am and I have. A great article. Well done to all involved. PaulJones 08:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Malcolm Sargent

Sargent's article has been considerably expanded. Please take another look when you have time. Can you add an image to it? I'm afraid that both Tim and I don't know how to do that. --Best regards, Ssilvers 17:56, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I don't know how to add images either. However, I see that someone has already done so. Has it really been so long since I last logged on to Wikipedia? PaulJones 18:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tim knows how to do certain things, and I knew how to do other things, and between us, we fixed up the article. It's pretty nifty now, wouldn't you say? Thanks for your excellent edits. -- Ssilvers 19:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly is comprehensive! PaulJones 20:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wenzel

Is this his ballet? [5]
Is this the same guy: Born in Napoli on the 23th Jenuary 1847, died in Asnières (Parigi) on the 21 August 1923? Operas: Le Chevalier Mignon, 1884 in Parigi; and L'Élève du Conservatoire, in Parigi in 1894? [6]

Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk)

- That I have not been able to confirm. There can't be too many composers called Leopold de Wenzel working in that period, but when I came across those references I was not able to link the productions to the composer at the Empire, so I did not include in the information. PaulJones (talk) 18:40, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you kindly add the references that you did find to the article? Right now it is entirely unreferenced. Thanks! Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Baron Golosh

What language is Baron Golosh in, if you know? I've been cleaning up Category:Operettas by giving all the entries subcategories of their own, by language. Baron Galosh is the only one left, because I can't tell what language it's in. Softlavender (talk) 07:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Never mind, Ssilvers told me the language and someone else has added the correct category. Softlavender (talk) 04:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Slavin

Hello, I am Martin Slavins grandaughter. I joined wiki to write an article about him when I realized that someone already had. I just wanted to thank you for starting it and if u don't mind my asking, ask you why you started it? And how you found some of the info? It was all stuff I already had but its always useful to try and find as many sources of info as I can. Thanks. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chachabrown (talk • contribs) 04:31, 24 November 2013 (UTC) Sorry I just realized I forgot to sign it.
