[edit] G'day!
G'day there, AlbertSM, and welcome to Wikipedia! Good authors are always welcome on the project, and I hope you like the place and decide to stick around!
We've got a few pages you might find helpful, such as:
It's all best summed up here: write from a neutral point of view, play nice with others, and don't let the rules get you down.
If you have any questions or need any help, my talkpage is always open for business, or you can see Wikipedia:Newcomers help page. Here's a tip to start you off: if you type four tildes (~~~~) at the end of any messages you leave on talkpages (like this one) Wikipedia will automatically insert your name and the current date and time after your message. Cool, eh? Happy editing! fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 02:25, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Geronimo
There is a lot of vandalism on the Geronimo page. It has been done a couple of times after your edit. Can you please check this and revert it, if they are indeed vandalism. I am not quite aware of the topic. Thanks --kkailas 05:57, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Leo the Lion (MGM)
Hi there - please stop adding incorrect information to the Leo the Lion article please. It is considered vandalism. Please test using the sandbox. Thanks - LBM 00:51, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- I have added the change to the article as per your comment on my talk page. However - I am pretty sure Raintree County used the current lion. It can't have used Tanner, but more likely the fourth lion (the current lion is the fifth lion in use). Please see the images on the Leo the Lion page for details. - LBM 01:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Please use edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Neil916 00:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Margo Jones Award
This article has been speedily deleted as it provided no context as to the notability of the award. (aeropagitica) (talk) 21:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Maltese Falcon
Thank you for your recent edits to the articles on the 1931 and 1941 film version of The Maltese Falcon. Your wording, in both cases, was much more accurate and encyclopedic than the previous versions. Thanks for your help in improving these articles. Keep up the good work. ---Charles 19:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Nutcracker
Hi--I noticed you added quite a bit of information to The Nutcracker article, so I figure you would be the most logical person to ask a question to. I have a classical music CD collection on my computer, and I'm very anal about the titling of each track. So, I was wondering how the play is broken down in terms of scenes? The article itself says that there are about 15, but I'm not sure where the Apotheosis fits into the mix, and how I should organize scene 14, which is the Prince and the Sugar Plum Fairy, and consists of multiple sections. Also, even though it is the beginning of the second act, is it still refered to as scene 10, and not Act 2 scene 1? Is it even intended to be divided into scenes at all? Thanks for your help, AdamBiswanger1 18:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks alot, and that does help. The track listings on my CD are fairly arbitrary, but I think I'll be able to organize them properly now. Thanks again, AdamBiswanger1 20:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
Excellent work trying to restore text to The Nutcracker. I just reverted all text. I will restore any additional information you added yourself to the page. You may reply to my talk page if you want. -- A. Wang (talk/contrb.) 22:49, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] RKO closing logo
Hi. In your recent contribution to the "RKO Pictures" article covering the matter of logos, you stated in reference to the Walt Disney productions released by RKO that "none of these films show the closing logo at the end." In contrast, this detailed online survey of RKO logos states, concerning the closing thunderbolt logo, "A 'Distributed by RKO Pictures' variant in color on a blue background appeared on some pre-1953 Walt Disney films which RKO distributed. Usually plastered [now] with a Buena Vista Distribution Co. logo, but occasionally appears on a few cartoon shorts on the Disney Treasures DVD collection." Similarly, this serious online source states, "For the Disney films, the end credit shield logo was incorporated into the overall design of the main title [as you've described] and down in the credits there would be one reading: 'Distributed by RKO Radio Pictures.'" Do you happen to have an authoritative source for your assertion?
You similarly stated that the RKO closing logo (and opening logo, for that matter) originally appeared on "none of the films" the studio released made by Samuel Goldwyn or many of the other independent producers whose work the studio released (the Orson Welles films, of course, were RKO-Mercury coproductions). Could you explain how you are certain of this? Any citations, online or published, would be helpful. Thanks much. Best, Dan—DCGeist 21:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi. It's still not clear how you can be sure that Joan of Arc was originally distributed without any RKO logo at all. That would be unusual, of course, and none of the standard histories mention this. I did a Google Book Search and read detailed coverage of its production (partly financed by RKO) and distribution in a few different scholarly books, and none report this unusual case of the missing logos. We need some sort of authoritative citation if it's going to stay. Best, Dan—DCGeist 03:10, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
In 2004, "Joan of Arc" was released in a fully restored 145-minute DVD which I have. The RKO logo is nowhere to be found. The film simply starts with the credit "Sierra Pictures Presents", shown against a blue background that contains a sword and two ornament-like devices on either side of it. Almost all of the opening credits appear against this background.
At the end, after Joan utters her last words, there is a closeup of the crucifix that she is looking at (shot from her point of view, not the viewer's), and it is enveloped in smoke and flames. This dissolves into a painting of a sky with heavenly light beaming down, and over this we see the credit "The End", at the picture fades out. No other closing credits, not even "A Sierra Picture".

[edit] Charles Laughton
Thank you very much for your very knowledgeable additions to the Charles Laughton page on the subject of recordings. It is a pity indeed that most of his fine recordings, like "The Storyteller", remain unreleased in CD format. I have a pending issue myself, as I want to elaborate a list of recordings and a brief record of his radio work for the Catalan language versionGloria Porta 14:58, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
You're welcome. AlbertSM
[edit] Don Quixote
Thank you for for your contributions to the plot summary for Don Quixote. This article is currently undergoing a major revamp (see the talk page) and your additions are a salutary addition. The plot summary will eventually need to be quite detailed, providing an overview of the main episodes from both Books 1 & 2. Any additional fleshing out of the book would be, needless to say, welcome in this regard especially considering the vast amount of work that needs to be done across the article as a whole.

[edit] Emperor Jones
Hello :)
I've been working on the play "the emperor jones" by O'Neill, and so have addedd some contributions to the article. I've noticed your contributions and they're are very informative and interesting.
(It is a testament to how well wikipedia works, because that article was just a couple of lines just a couple of months ago. :))
I was wondering whether you could point to any additional sources of information on the play or the various adaptations? I could only find some stuff on eoneill, and I'd be happy if you could tell me about any other places with more material. :)
No, sorry. I only know the play from seeing the Paul Robeson movie and hearing comments about it on TV. However, it is quite possible that you might easily be able to find a paperback copy of it and be able to compare the play with the film. I think the film may be on DVD now. AlbertSM
thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 90.153.128.12 (talk) 23:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Preview
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In the future, it is recommended that you use the preview button before you save; this helps you find any errors you have made, and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history. Thanks again. --Geniac 16:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
