[edit] Doug Jones

Thanks for expanding the details - you are clearly a big fan. Can I assume you are using his biography with permission as it is nearly a straight lift from his homepage. (Emperor 02:39, 10 July 2006 (UTC))

Yes, I'm a big fan, and I am also Doug's Webmaster for his official site, which I both own and run - all of the information from the site is copyrighted to me, so there are no worries about the information being available on Wikipedia. Thanks for showing a concern though, but as an archivist I'm pretty keen on correct copyrighting procedure. My only worry is that I'm inputting info correctly on Wikipedia as I'm a wee bit of a beginner as yet!!! --Hellmistress 18:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the clarifcations. Don't worry too much about getting everything 100% right as (as well as being impossible) there are other editors who will come along and tweak things - most things you'll pick up over time. I've mentioned this on Doug's entry but its work drawing to your attention here - what you will have to do is clarify the licensing of the image of Doug that you used as someone will eventually pop along proposing to remove it unless its 100% clear. In cases like this I find the following tags are handy: promotional and withpermission (wrap them in double curly brackets) and if there isn't one a link to the source of the image is required if it is online. Should avoid any future hassle. Keep up the good work. (Emperor 14:52, 15 July 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Neutrality and POV concerns

Hi, I'm one of the editors that watch Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Recently, you converted a valid citation about Doug Jones being in the film to a citation from the Doug Jones Experience, the official site that your user page says you maintain. I'd like to inform you about #3 in links normally to be avoided, which states one of the things to avoid being linked: "A website that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be linked to. This is because of neutrality and point-of-view concerns; neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia, and a difficult one. If it is relevant and informative, mention it on the talk page and let other — neutral — Wikipedia editors decide whether to add the link." I just wanted to inform you about that. --Erik 01:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Okay Erik, that's fine - I'm a beginner at this, so I'm happy to be kept right! But I also wanted to correct information that is erroneous on the page. Fox has not decided who will provide the voice of Silver Surfer at this point, and will probably not do so until the film goes into post. So, how is that changed? Because it IS an error, and the reference is an error too. I maintain Doug's page and his official website and I can't abide inaccuracies, so is there any way that can be sorted? Advice would be much appreciated. Hellmistress 06:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pale Man

Just saw your info about the Pale Man on the Pan's Labyrinth talk page. I've had a quick google but can't work out where you got the info from: did you write it yourself? Would be a really interesting addition to the main article, I think. Do you think that the pile of shoes in the Pale Man's lair is a direct reference to the Holocaust? How do you think this connects, if at all, with the Goya influence? --Jim (Talk)

Hi Jim, I wrote the information myself, with info from DDT themselves and an excellent article on the design of Pale Man and The Fauno from issue #63 of Makeup Artist Magazine, pp. 45-49. I hope to have images of the design from DDT fairly soon to put up on Doug Jones' site, but if you think the information is relevant then it can go on the main page - unfortunately, I'm not terribly talented with the workings of Wikipedia, and usually make a mess of it!

Knowing Guillermo, I have no doubt that the shoes are a reference to the Holocaust (ref. Auschwitz Museum) but whether that ties in with the Goya reference, I have no idea. You could leave a message for Guillermo on the DelToroFilms.com message board if you like, and ask him. Hellmistress 11:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
