This is my talk page. I'm not really sure what that is :)

Hello SKS

This is where people leave messages for you and often discuss with you things that you want to edit or edits that you've made - edits meaning any additions or subtractions to articles that you've made or want to make - as with Tanya Tucker in Jeremiah Johnson.

As it happens - IMDB is regarded as a creditable source on Wiki and you can use it. However - her appearance (and Qualen's daughter would be one of the children in the corn crib)is so minor a feature in the film that there's no place to add it there - a two second uncredited non-speaking appearance can't be "cast," and it's not at all a significant part of any other feature. You could start a trivia section, add this as a fact, and link the reference by clicking on the globe in the menu bar above (fourth from left above) and pasting in the IMDB address to her article. Wikipedia will create the reference and a footnote. Welcome to the often crazy Wiki fun. Regards Sensei48 (talk) 06:17, 21 March 2009 (UTC) ps: posting this on your Talk page as well.

TT in JJ

Well, thank you for clearing that up for me :) I hope I am doing this right, by responding to your message on your talk page?

Yes, that is exactly what Talk pages are for. However, for me to get your attention in return, I have to post to your Talk page so that you will get a message that I've left a message. However, I'm going to "watch" your Talk page here - that means that I'm going to click the tab above that says "watch." That means that if you reply to me here, I will be notified when I click on "my watchlist" above right. That's the first thing that most experienced Wikipedians do when they log on, to see what's been happening to articles that they have worked on or are interested in - and to conduct discussions like this on one User's Talk page instead of tw.

As for Jeremiah Johnson - first, thank you for helping me figure out it out. Second, I recall trivia sections being frowned upon? To the point where articles that still have them, are being edited to integrate the information elsewhere in the article? If I am wrong, then I would definitely like to try adding it.. but only if you wouldn't mind looking at the article when I am done to make sure I don't royally screw something up!

Trivia sections ARE frowned upon and I wish that they would go away - but most popular articles have them anyway.

I was thinking about this later last night, and my vote is that you add it - not as trivia - to the article on Tanya Tucker because it's really related to her and not to Jeremiah Johnson. Let me give you an example - two pieces of trivia related to JJ. First, when the film was shown on network TV in 1976, it was the single highest rated and most widely watched film to that point in the history of U.S. television (reflecting Robert Redford's enormous popularity at the time more than anything related to the movie itself). Second, the coat that Redford wears in the first quarter of the film reappears as a costume on a bounty hunter four years later in another Warner Brothers film, Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Now the TV broadcast might qualify as trivia about JJ, but since it does not significantly alter a reader's understanding of the film and it's hard to source, I've left it out of the article. The bit about the coat might qualify in the same way here (and is left out for the same reasons) - but it would not qualify IMHO in the article on The Outlaw Josey Wales, since the character who wears it has no significance in that movie at all.

That's what I think about the Tucker fact. Knowing that she is in JJ for less than two seconds does not alter one's conception of this film. But adding it to the Tanya Tucker article corrects a mistake made there. Regards, Sensei48 (talk) 20:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
