[edit] Wikipedia's LGBT Community
 Hi, FranzJacobs! You may not know that Wikipedia has both an LGBT Notice Board and an LGBT Studies WikiProject. If you haven't yet done so, take a look at both of them. They sorely need attention and participation! Some things on the "To-Do List" that merit particular attention include:
Please feel free to participate in any or all of these activities! And if you feel like it, add yourself to either the Noticeboard Members or the WikiProject Participants - or both! |

[edit] Dickson Experimental Sound Film
Hi, Franz. That's a great observation about the film's music. My only hesitation in incorporating it in the article as evidence suggesting Dickson intended a joke (completely plausible), is that I've been unable to find a single authoritative published source confirming that the tune is "Song of the Cabin Boy"; if you have one--or even an unimpeachable online source (rather than one referencing someone else and/or with clear errors, which is all I've found), let's run with it. (Note: the credits listing following the brief Murch note on the restoration says the music is the Barcarolle from the Planquette operetta [which those same credits mistitle]. Is "Song of the Cabin Boy" the operetta's one and only barcarolle?) Best, Dan—DCGeist 05:13, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Addendum: Just by the way, in most cases, if you, as a serious and careful Wikipedia editor (which is clear from your contributions), were able to attest that you had listened to the music in the film, compared it directly to "Song of the Cabin Boy," and identified them as unquestionably the same music, that would be good enough for me. Some people call that "original research"; it isn't (see Wikipedia:No_original_research#What is excluded?), it's just good fact-checking. However, we do have this substantial online source claiming the music is from Mascagni. I certainly doubt the claim, but I think we need to come up with a source that's clearly stronger in order to make any statements about the music's meaning.

- Brilliant. Thanks very much, Franz. Best, D —DCGeist 23:09, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
