[edit] Succession box

This didn't make much sense. I can't find Carlton KaDell. Anyway, ther's no orderly succession. Johnny Weissmuller played Tarzan from 1932 to 1948; during that period, several other actors played Tarzan as well.--Runcorn 19:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

The succession is accepted by fans to be from Weissmuller's first film in '32, making him the sixth Tarzan. Crabbe made one in '33, he's the seventh. Brix made one in '35, he's the eighth. Morris is the ninth, having made one in '38. Forget that Weissmuller made several to their solo efforts. Count from his first. Kadell was a radio Tarzan; these are live action actors. I see no reason for your removal of the succession box. So what if it made no sense to you. I plan on reinserting it, unless we have a higher ruling. Sir Rhosis 22:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

My point is that there is no sense in which one actor succeded another; there were several overlapping actors. This is not the sort of circumstances in which a succession box is appropriate. It would be more sensible to refer to a list of actors who have played Tarzan, where the dates could be displayed. Obviously, you are at liberty to restore it, if you really want to. What higher ruling did you have in mind?--Runcorn 17:25, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

• I am fairly new to this, so I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that Wikipedia had a founding/ruling body for such things as "Petty disagreements between Sir Rhosis and Runcorn." I did not institute the succession boxes, but when I went through editing and contributing bios to the various actors who have played Tarzan, I discovered that everyone of them, save Bennett, had a succession box (some had boxes linking to the various radio actors, which I changed to the next "live-action" film and TV actor). It just struck me as odd that he was left out of the succession by whomever started adding them. And no, it is not such a big deal that I will add it back. I spoke too much in the "WTF is Runcorn doing removing a succession box?" moment. Best. Sir Rhosis 22:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I have no wish whatsoever to make a fuss. Yes, there are various mediation processes, but this is not something I feel strongly about so am happy to back down. Restore the box or not, as you see fit. Happy editing, and please call on me in future if you are ever in a situation where there is a confontation.--Runcorn 19:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
