Hi Lekogm. Welcome to wikipedia. I noticed your edit to the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes and I just wanted to let you know that the {{WikiProject Stagecraft}} tag should only be placed on the talk pages of articles. It's an internal reference, and shouldn't be in the article space. No big deal - just thought I would catch you before you went through the work of placing it on too many pages! Let me know if can be of any help, and again - welcome! --Bookandcoffee 01:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Seeing as how your name is what it is, would you happen to have a picture of a Leko or other lighting instruments? KeepOnTruckin 00:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Lekogm! Thank you for your kind note of encouragement! As you can probably see, I am new to Wikipedia and still trying to figure out what I'm doing. I'll try to keep your suggestion about including edit summaries in mind. When I get a chance I'll definitely check out the stage craft project. I'm working on a show right now and am very busy, but that sounds like it would definitely be right up my alley! KindSould 05:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Lekogm. Thanks for the message and I'm glad to be here. Hope to make some contributions to the stagecraft project. Humhead 19:53, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stagecraft tag/assessment/catagories

I was looking over the syntax of both the stagecraft tag and the filmmaking tag, which I think should be the go-to for setting ours up right. YOu were saying that you couldn't get the categories to be the same as the ones in the banner. First thing I noticed was that a alot of the noinclude/includeonly seemed to not have the slash at the end of the section which signifies the end of whatever thing it was. Being as how I am not amazingly good with templates, I went to the help section. See Wikipedia:Template FAQ. Then see m:Template:Help. That second one gets really complex, but it explains everything. So, *with self-proclaimed expert tone* I think that our problem is somthing involving the template syntax, or possibly involving substitution. I don't fully understand subst'd yet, but i'll continue to work on it. KeepOnTruckin 02:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

As long as it's fixed. KeepOnTruckin 19:12, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
You did a good job on maiking it all work out. I'll get right on the ball assessing articles. KeepOnTruckin 22:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Various Images you have uploaded

I was looking over some of your pictures, and I have a few questions. First, on the fixed pinrail image, I can't see what or where it is. I see the drop rollers and I see a ladder and some electrics. Now, since I don't have drop rollers or flyspace in my theater, i am not sure what it is in the picture. Next, on the radio mics photo. What a good idea with storing it in the shoe rack thing. We have always kept ours in flight cases and handed them out, requireing the A2 to be backstage to keep handing them around as we only have 10. Now I noticed that there is more than 15 mics there, We try to avoid using more than 7 at a time to avoid interference and feedback. Do you have those problems if you were to use them all at once? Now, I suppose if we bought better quality it would be better. And as a whole for the all the photos, you should add them to articles so that there is more pictures and they don't run a risk of being deleted. KeepOnTruckin 19:16, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I see. In my county the fire marshal has to come approve all drop rollers and we have to get some certified company to come install them and its a real pain. I have this show coming up right befroe thanksgiving where we have 3 full length drops and two tab drops...as I said no drop rollers so we have to bust out the trusty genie lift during intermission. The interference...well obviously we don't fade them up so high as to cause that, but audience memebers were saying they couldn't hear the people.I think we could have got on fine with the actors talking louder but it was a musical and the director had to have his mics. The thing was, mics that werent off but were faded down were transmitting sound, and we were hearing sound out of other mics. We chalked that up to having too many mics at once, which is what i was talking about. Ill put links to the images. KeepOnTruckin 22:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kudos to You!

Wow! The Stagecraft Project Page looks great! I can see you've been very busy. I'm really impressed with the job you've done trying to organize this project. We are all very lucky to have a leader like you at the helm!

I created a Wardrobe Supervisor article, please take a look. I know that all my facts are acurate, but I'm having trouble finding "online" references which are exclusive to live performance. Everything seems to be film oriented. Damn Internet!

Thanks for all your hard work. You're doing a heck of a job rallying the troups!KindSould 06:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:STAGE Terminology

I'd be glad to help with that page. "Terminology" is much better than jargon. I'm not sure about how to deal with sourcing though. Most of the terminology I know, I know because I've learned working in the industry. Not sure how this fits in with the No Original Research rules. Morydd 14:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
