User talk:What is a username?

"Simone Swanson"

What that was in Richard Bright's article is, I'm sure, typical Wikipedia vandalism - someone casually inserts their own name and no one notices. :) Sorry. By the way, Richard Bright was listed under "Italian-Americans" for some reason (maybe because of his role in the Godfather), but that's not correct, is it?

No, my father neither Italian nor Sicilian, but he sure enjoyed playing them. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. His father, Ernest, was from Brooklyn, whose parents were English. Ernest married Matilda Scott of the famous Scott Clan (from Scotland, but who saw that coming?). He was also part Irish, but I do not know from which side. He was indeed not Italian American, but inherited the dark celtic traits (dark brown hair, tanned skin). He was, however, often cast as Italian gangsters!

Cheers, Jack

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. So I was indeed correct in removing the category just now. Cheers, Mad Jack 06:21, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, good work with the removing. Jeremy Bright 06:25, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Jeremy...I was the one that made the change of your grandmothers name. I got it from the 1930 US Census and it was spelled that way...I apologize. Marriage certificates are more accurate. I am a huge admirer of your father and also have a memorial page that you might want to check. Its the link on the bottom of his article. Dont get upset if any info is inaccurate because I get it from hundreds of sources. You can contact me on the memorial page by leaving a message. It would be awesome if you can help.

Al,

No worries at all. Good name, too, by the way. As I say, the internet has no intonation - I wasn't mad, sorry if it came across like that, I've just been cleaning up the article a little and posted in order to deter a third alteration.

My hat's off to you if you looked up the census! On all my documentation its registered as Matilda, and in her signature its Matilda. Perhaps the census worker took it down incorrectly - she had a thick Scottish brogue, and could well have pronounced it "Mathilde". Jeremy Bright 22:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
