[edit] Fritz Lang
I'm sorry to bother you so long after the event, but I was wondering why your 16:07, 14 Nov 2004 edit of the Fritz Lang article removed the words "(an ambitious two-part adaptation of the Ring of the Nibelung saga (better known from Wagner's opera)"? Of course, it was a clumsy phrase and could have been worded better, but I wondered what made you decide to delete it rather than replace it? I hope this doesn't sound nosey, I was just curious. --Chips Critic 00:21, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I have only recently noticed your message. Hence the tardiness of this reply.
- You seem a little confused - as indeed was I on first reading your message! Take a look at the alterations made to the article on 30 October 2004 by somebody calling himself Jallan, and you will see what I actually cut.
- Your statement regarding Die Nibelungen is of course correct.

Well, I don't think it was my statement actually (certainly, I never made any reference to Wagner when I worked on the article months ago, as I didn't think it was necessary). Checking again I realise that phrase wasn't cut on your 16:07 edit, but was cut in your 16:20 edit on the same day. As you don't recall cutting this, I'm assuming it was some kind of accident or technical error, but if you make a comparison of your 16:07 edit with your 16:20 immediately after it, the alteration is there. I'm sorry to bother you about this, but I thought I should correct my earlier comment. --Chips Critic 21:24, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I repeat, take a look at the alterations made to the article on 30 October 2004 by somebody calling himself Jallan, and you will see what I actually cut.

I already did, and have again, but the lines relating to Wagner were also deleted under your name. Check the histories, comparing your 16:07 edit with that of 16:20. Those words were removed under your name, whether you yourself made the edit or not. --Chips Critic 22:04, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I thought my first reply was clear enough. Let me explain once more, this time in greater detail.
- At 12:22 on 12 September 2002 Modemac greatly expanded the Lang article. Among his additions was a reference to "an ambitious two-part adaptation of the Ring of the Nieblung [sic] saga (better known from Wagner's opera) [recte operatic cycle]". Subsequently somebody else corrected the spelling "Nieblung". Then, at 21:43 on 11 August 2004, you added the film's title and year of release. The passage now read: "Die Nibelungen (1924), an ambitious two-part adaptation of the Ring of the Nibelung saga (better known from Wagner's opera)". (I see, by the way, that what I referred to as "[y]our statement regarding Die Nibelungen" was in fact Modemac's, but this is a minor point.) At 20:30 on 30 October 2004 Jallan changed this to: "Die Nibelungen (1924), (an ambitious two-part adaptation of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung operatic cycle)". When I came to add my pennyworth to the article on 14 November 2004 I consulted some books I have on Lang. They confirmed my suspicion that the Wagner reference was wrong. So I cut it - at 16:20. The passage had now shrunk to: "Die Nibelungen (1924)". I was puzzled by your first posting because in tinkering with the article I had, for reasons I am sure you can appreciate, always confined my attention to the most recent version; there were after all about 50 earlier ones! It was not as you assumed because I couldn't remember cutting a reference to Wagner (I could), nor because you had the time of my edit wrong!
- To quote my first reply: "Take a look at the alterations made to the article on 30 October 2004 by somebody calling himself Jallan, and you will see what I actually cut". I still think that should have been sufficient.
- I hope this discussion is now at an end. I really do have more important things to do.
