[edit] Sequence of events

I'm trying (with some difficulty) to sort out the chronology from 1886 to 1892. Adler's own memoir is (probably deliberately) very confused on this period, because he is trying to play down the fact that he took up with Jennya Kaiser while still married to Sonya, and kept seeing her after marrying Dinah. As a result, he has made a deliberate hash of the sequence of events. Lulla Rosenfeld's commentaries are only slightly more helpful, because chronology is never her strong suit. I don't think I have it sorted out correctly yet, but I'm working on it. -- Jmabel | Talk 22:25, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

I think it's now correct, but if someone else with expertise wants to look at it, that would be much appreciated. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:37, Feb 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jewish actor?

What is a Jewish actor? There is an interesting discussion going on at the talk page of WP:MOSBIO about this subject. It seems that this can be better phrased.--Tom 15:40, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Well, in this case, it is an actor whose material, audience, and (as an intellectual) interests were quite uniformly Jewish, in the way that someone else's might be French. He had significant phases of his career in Imperial Russia, London, and New York, so he's not tied to any particular country, but he's at least as profoundly a Jewish actor as (for example) Voltaire is a French writer, despite the latter having lived significant periods in London, Berlin, and Geneva. - Jmabel | Talk 19:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Re-Review and In-line citations

Members of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles are in the process of doing a re-review of current Good Article listings to ensure compliance with the standards of the Good Article Criteria. (Discussion of the changes and re-review can be found here). A significant change to the GA criteria is the mandatory use of some sort of in-line citation (In accordance to WP:CITE) to be used in order for an article to pass the verification and reference criteria. Currently this article does not include in-line citations. It is recommended that the article's editors take a look at the inclusion of in-line citations as well as how the article stacks up against the rest of the Good Article criteria. GA reviewers will give you at least a week's time from the date of this notice to work on the in-line citations before doing a full re-review and deciding if the article still merits being considered a Good Article or would need to be de-listed. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us on the Good Article project talk page or you may contact me personally. On behalf of the Good Articles Project, I want to thank you for all the time and effort that you have put into working on this article and improving the overall quality of the Wikipedia project.

[edit] Ukraine / Russia

I realize that Odessa is now in Ukraine, but I'm pretty certain that it was never considered part of Ukraine during the years of Imperial Russia, so I think this edit is probably not the way to go. I have no problem with the article stating that Odessa is now in Ukraine, but to state that he was born in Ukraine is like stating that Immanuel Kant was born in Russia. - Jmabel | Talk 03:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm not fussed - I'll revert.--Newport 22:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adler's Shylock

For some time, the following phrase has been in the article with relation to Adler's Shylock: "this performance has come to be understood as a breakthrough of naturalism in American theater." I wrote it; I think it's true; I'm sure there must be something out there somewhere to cite for it; but I can't find it, so I'm removing the statement until such citation can be found. - Jmabel | Talk 01:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
