Hello, Classicfilms, thank you for your attention to the article I initiated on Michael Burns. He was one of my favorite actors when I was a child, and I always wanted to know "whatever became of ... him", so I thought I would enter the information that I had. Thank you for refining and editing it to a good high standard. Cordially, David Boisclair drboisclair 19:14, 29 October 2005 (UTC)
You're welcome! -- Classicfilms
If a person has a hyphenated name, there is no space before or after the hyphen. Also, if you do need to move a page, either use the "move" button, or post it at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Never cut and paste from one title to another. Doing so ruins the edit history. If you have any questions, be sure to ask. — FREAK OF NURxTURE ( TALK) 23:13, Dec. 21, 2005
Thanks for letting me know. I will do so in the future. - Classicfilms
In your recent edit of The Secret of Isis you placed the stub tag after the categories. My understanding of Wikistyle is that the stub tag goes before the categories, but after all other text. I've seen a few people doing this of late and I'm curious if the style has been changed. Cheers. 23skidoo 05:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing this out. I had noticed a number of pages where the stub followed which automatically allowed a space between the stub and the final sentence of the article (a few stubs I had placed as well had been moved) so I assumed there had been a change in the style. Feel free to move it back. - ClassicFilms
I have added an article for deletion tag to Midnight Special. It seems to be nonnotable. If you have comments, feel free to represent the article as its creator on the articles for deletion page. Leppy 02:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
I had to remove the production information you added because it contained redundant information. The distributor, director, etc is already listed in the infobox and the introductory paragraph. All those secondary production companies are not significant enough to require noting. If you wish to add something, that deals with production, that you believe is significant then add it to the infobox to the right of the page; that is where it belongs. Thanks. Bignole 23:14, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough - thanks for letting me know. -- Classicfilms
I've nominated Girl Power in popular culture, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Girl Power in popular culture satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Girl Power in popular culture and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Girl Power in popular culture during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you.

Hi there! I noticed you've added a few MHC alumnae to the new "Alumnae of women's colleges" category, so before you put any more work in, would you mind reading my comment at Talk:List of Mount Holyoke College people? Thanks! Beginning 05:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Beginning, Sure, I would be happy to. Thanks for writing. -- Classicfilms

Hi, I'm writing a paper on Wikipedia's entry of Mount Holyoke College and since you've done most of the editing of its entries, I would really appreciate it if you could please note here whether you're in any way affiliated with the college. Thank you in advance. 1:39, 5 May 2006
Yes, I graduated from Mount Holyoke. -- Classicfilms 5 May 2006
Great! Thank you for letting me know. 11:57, 5 May 2006
Good work on cleaning up some of the 5 college art museum sites -- it looks like the combined database for the art collections is at the Five College Museums/Historic Deerfield web site instead of Museums10, and I've updated the Mead Art Museum, Mt. Holyoke Art Museum, Historic Deerfield, Five College Museums/Historic Deerfield, Art Galleries, and Museums10 pages to reflect its location. I think that database has been getting shuffled around, but its one of the best around. Smawnmahlau
Hi Smawnmahlau- Great!! I really liked what you did with Five College Museums/Historic Deerfield. And thanks for the feedback - Classicfilms 12 May, 2006.
Howdy! Thanks for your attention to the bookstore articles. Please use {{retail-stub}} for the stub articles, though, because {{book-stub}} is used for books themselves, and sometimes book terminology. As long as the article has a "Bookstores" category of some sort it will get found. Thanks again - Her Pegship 15:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi Her Pegship,
Thanks for the feedback! What you are saying makes sense - independent bookstores are retail, but they provide a number of other services related to the community and to literature (sometimes in a way which is similar to Salon (gathering)s), which is why I was trying to be more specific.
I wonder if a stub could be created which is called independent bookstore stub - or something else which is a bit more specific to the nature of independent bookstores? I'm thinking in terms of stubs such as the publish-stub for articles about companies that work with books.
That way, there isn't the confusion that you raise with "book" and the stub is a little more specific than the wider category of "retail." -- Classicfilms 15 May 2006.
You reverted my edit, asking that I quote directly from the source. It is, unfortunately, poorly worded for quotation inclusion directly into the article. I'm going to reintroduce without the loaded word that you specifically referenced. It is used in the source however, "In fact, Mount Holyoke gained a reputation as a 'rib factory.'" I hope that this is an acceptable solution. GRBerry 03:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi GRBerry, I like the revision - I made a few minor tweaks as well. Interesting bit of information - thanks for the contribution. - Classicfilms 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello Classicfilms. Thanks for creating a Miss Hall's article. I also noticed that you made several edits. I'm just curious about your affiliation with the school. Thanks!
Jennifer1989 16:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Jennifer1989,
You're welcome! Glad to help...I am not affiliated with Miss Hall's School. I created the article when I was working on the biography of Jean Erdman who graduated from Miss Hall's in 1934. I also work on articles related to women's colleges and schools so Miss Hall's falls into the category. I hope you will develop and add to the article ! - Classicfilms 16:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Classicfilms. Glad to see that a supporter of women's education. In looking at the history of edits for the Miss Hall's article, I notice that you edited a considerable amount of information out of the article citing NPOV. I believe the deleted text does give information about the school- what I believe to be the purpose of Wikipedia. For example, information about the leadership program, school affiliations, and the school motto were deleted. These are simply factual information about the organization. I would like to develop the article as you suggested so I plan to restore some edits. Just wanted to know how to do so, keeping NPOV in mind.
Jennifer1989 20:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Classicfilms, Thanks for your recent edit to Podokesaurus. However, I did revert your edit. You added the specific name to the top of the article. According to the decision on Wikipedia's WikiProject:Tree of Life, articles are only supposed to go down to the genus level. The article should mention species within the genus, but the article itself should be about the genus. Your recent change, moving the full name to the top of the article, made the article about the species, which is why it was reverted. If you have further questions, feel free to send me a message. Happy editing, -- Firsfron of Ronchester 19:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Firsfron of Ronchester, Sure, that's fine - thanks for the explanation! It will help with my editing in the future. -- Classicfilms 20:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your understanding. Take care, :) -- Firsfron of Ronchester 08:38, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
This Now Playing interview is what BBC refers to. Should we cite this instead? There's also some useful information about Wonder Woman that Whedon discussed in the interview. -- Erik 22:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Erik,
I see, that makes more sense. Yes, please change the citation to Now Playing as it's the better article. Thanks for all of your great work! - Classicfilms 22:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
In Public Ivies, you quoted a list from an appendix to Hidden Ivies. As quoted, the list does not included Rutgers, a surprising omission given that they had included it in their book on "public ivies." Would you mind double-checking and seeing whether they really left out Rutgers in their list in "Hidden Ivies?" Dpbsmith (talk) 12:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Gracias por mejorar el artículo de Casapueblo que increiblemente no estaba en wikipedia. Yo que no soy uruguayo, creo que este lugar es uno de los más mágicos en el mundo!. Próximamente subiré algunas fotos tomadas por mí, pero por favor avisale al WikiProject de Uruguay que no olviden pegarse una pasada y mejorarlo aun más.
Tambien me di cuenta que no existe artículo sobre Paez Vilaró, para que lo incluyan el la lista "por hacer". En cuanto pueda subiré más fotos de Casapueblo y de Uruguay. Gusto conocerlo .... Alex Pascaweb 09:48, 02 Noviembre 2006

I noticed that you're removing people from Category:Alumnae of women's universities and colleges. I don't see any discussion related to the large scale removal of people from this category. May I inquire as to why you're removing so many people from that category? -- ElKevbo 16:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to the Mount Holyoke College pages. Sources will be needed for the commencement speaker information and it would be great if you could create biographies for the athletes. The rules and style guides listed above should help in both of these areas. Regards, - Classicfilms 01:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
+++Hey Classicfilms - Here's some information for you to verify your critiques of my updates to Mt. Holyoke people's page regarding athletes.
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/comm/csj/960802/gold.html
I am an alum by the way and I graduated in 1976 so I do in fact know who my commencement speaker was. So my update to that page is first hand knowledge. It wasn't exactly the digital age back then though. Mhclucifer 02:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)mhclucifer
I'm pretty new at editing Wikipedia. I think I'm going about this the right way, but please let me know if I should be posting this kind of question somewhere else.
In the Overview: General facts section of Mount Holyoke College, you replaced the word "Students" with "MoHo's" followed by a parenthetical explanation of the term. To me as a reader, "students" seems like a clearer term for this part of the article, making it easier to absorb the basic facts like the number of students. The slang term, though interesting, isn't a central fact so it's a bit distracting; it might fit better in the section on student life. Also, have you come across a published source for "MoHo" or its relation to "PoMo"? This would be worth citing.
Thanks! Bdenneen 17:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I've been away for a bit. But I still am frustrated by your ideas about data and integrity. So I am going to continue to talk to you about this.
First, the so called "Olympic databases" that you refer to probably are very lacking in data integrity. By that I mean they have never been officially audited or validated. And I believe your sources only include winners for the older Olympics and not the full participants from each country's teams. And data integrity is something I have a long professional experience with.
Second, I don't know why you don't think first hand accounts are invalid. I assume you have heard of oral histories. And even newspapers (onlinen or otherwise) have to get their information from somewhere. And the news media is less than stellar in its handling of facts. I mean reporters make stuff up (lots of high profile recent cases). And having been in a demonstration in the 70s that Time magazine printed a report about, I can assure that either the editors or the reporters botched their facts royally. Because the printed report bore no semblance to the reality of that day. So which is right? And the other problematic thing with data sources can be shown by attendance numbers at rallies/demonstations. The cops, press, and organizers invariably have 3 different numbers for these events.
And if I find an online reference to something and can provide it to you even if it doesn't agree with your online sources of data, then which is right? Mhclucifer 19:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)mhclucifer
Some of the things that you've editted from my entries are simple Google searches to verify. For someone with such a penchant for material removal, you might try Google first.
I am going to question you on why you do what you do. And especially on the the removal of this entry I had on this
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/comm/csj/980213/hidden.html
I will label that removal as blatant homomphobic behavior, because I cannot think of any other reason for your removal of that material. Mhclucifer 01:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)mhclucifer

I have added a "{{
prod}}" template to the article
Audrey A. McNiff, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Dear Classicfilms: I'm Kevin McCaffrey in the Comms office at Mount Holyoke. Jesse Lytle, from the President's Office, and I have just made some additions to Joanne Creighton's entry.

Hello Classicfilms,
Wow! It appears you've done hundreds of edits on articles, many in a single article (e.g. Mount Holyoke College) that are just minutes apart. I am wondering if it wouldn't be more conducive to Preview the article after making each change, then Save only after you are finished making the several edits, as so the History is not cluttered with so many entries...
...but, then again, I'm a newbie to this myself, (and you've been doing it since 2005), so what do I know :-)
Regardless, your contributions are appreciated.

Hey! I am editing the article on Shelley Jackson and noticed in the edit history that (a while ago) you added a "see also" list to the article. I tried to integrate some of the people on the list into the main article, but could actually only find a clear connection to Jackson in two cases (Coover and Landow taught her at Brown.) Do you know how the other people (who seem to be electronic literature authors or critics) connect to Jackson? If so, is there any way you'd be able to write a bit of text that incorporates them into the main article? Thanks, Hobbesy3 16:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

To Classicfilms, in recognition of contributions to Barber-Scotia College. The school has been on my radar screen for a long time, essentially because I felt sorry for both the school and the article, but I know almost nothing about the school and didn't have any information to add to the article. It has been gratifying to see you build the formerly pathetic article into an interesting and informative piece, completely with sources. (Would that the school can be similarly blessed in restoring its finances and its academic respectability.) Orlady ( talk) 00:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC) |

Tambien me di cuenta que no existe artículo sobre Paez Vilaró, para que lo incluyan el la lista "por hacer". En cuanto pueda subiré más fotos de Casapueblo y de Uruguay. Gusto conocerlo .... Alex Pascaweb 09:48, 02 Noviembre 2006

In light of your reversion, I added some questions to the Public Universities talk page. Cka3n 00:41, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
I noticed that you're removing people from Category:Alumnae of women's universities and colleges. I don't see any discussion related to the large scale removal of people from this category. May I inquire as to why you're removing so many people from that category? -- ElKevbo 16:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your contributions to the Mount Holyoke College pages. Sources will be needed for the commencement speaker information and it would be great if you could create biographies for the athletes. The rules and style guides listed above should help in both of these areas. Regards, - Classicfilms 01:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
+++Hey Classicfilms - Here's some information for you to verify your critiques of my updates to Mt. Holyoke people's page regarding athletes.

I am an alum by the way and I graduated in 1976 so I do in fact know who my commencement speaker was. So my update to that page is first hand knowledge. It wasn't exactly the digital age back then though. Mhclucifer 02:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)mhclucifer
I'm pretty new at editing Wikipedia. I think I'm going about this the right way, but please let me know if I should be posting this kind of question somewhere else.
In the Overview: General facts section of Mount Holyoke College, you replaced the word "Students" with "MoHo's" followed by a parenthetical explanation of the term. To me as a reader, "students" seems like a clearer term for this part of the article, making it easier to absorb the basic facts like the number of students. The slang term, though interesting, isn't a central fact so it's a bit distracting; it might fit better in the section on student life. Also, have you come across a published source for "MoHo" or its relation to "PoMo"? This would be worth citing.
Thanks! Bdenneen 17:41, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I've been away for a bit. But I still am frustrated by your ideas about data and integrity. So I am going to continue to talk to you about this.
First, the so called "Olympic databases" that you refer to probably are very lacking in data integrity. By that I mean they have never been officially audited or validated. And I believe your sources only include winners for the older Olympics and not the full participants from each country's teams. And data integrity is something I have a long professional experience with.
Second, I don't know why you don't think first hand accounts are invalid. I assume you have heard of oral histories. And even newspapers (onlinen or otherwise) have to get their information from somewhere. And the news media is less than stellar in its handling of facts. I mean reporters make stuff up (lots of high profile recent cases). And having been in a demonstration in the 70s that Time magazine printed a report about, I can assure that either the editors or the reporters botched their facts royally. Because the printed report bore no semblance to the reality of that day. So which is right? And the other problematic thing with data sources can be shown by attendance numbers at rallies/demonstations. The cops, press, and organizers invariably have 3 different numbers for these events.
And if I find an online reference to something and can provide it to you even if it doesn't agree with your online sources of data, then which is right? Mhclucifer 19:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)mhclucifer
Some of the things that you've editted from my entries are simple Google searches to verify. For someone with such a penchant for material removal, you might try Google first.
I am going to question you on why you do what you do. And especially on the the removal of this entry I had on this
http://www.mtholyoke.edu/offices/comm/csj/980213/hidden.html
I will label that removal as blatant homomphobic behavior, because I cannot think of any other reason for your removal of that material. Mhclucifer 01:36, 8 May 2007 (UTC)mhclucifer

I have added a "{{
prod}}" template to the article
Audrey A. McNiff, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the
speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to
Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Dear Classicfilms: I'm Kevin McCaffrey in the Comms office at Mount Holyoke. Jesse Lytle, from the President's Office, and I have just made some additions to Joanne Creighton's entry. We noted how much you've done and we want to thank you and express our appreciation for your efforts--past, present, and future. Please feel free to contact either of us at MHC if we may be of service to you. best, Kevin A. McCaffrey 16:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Classicfilms, thx, just getting my feet wet, don't think I have a user page! best Kevin A. McCaffrey 21:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Dear Classicfilms, thx for pointing me to this page. I'll spend some time on the guidelines. Finding my initial forays into this new terrain to be very interesting! appreciate your help and will likely be firing questions your way 138.110.7.136 14:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Classicfilms, you are right, it was me, still a bit of a bull in the china shop! best, Kevin A. McCaffrey 16:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hello Classicfilms,
Wow! It appears you've done hundreds of edits on articles, many in a single article (e.g. Mount Holyoke College) that are just minutes apart. I am wondering if it wouldn't be more conducive to Preview the article after making each change, then Save only after you are finished making the several edits, as so the History is not cluttered with so many entries...
...but, then again, I'm a newbie to this myself, (and you've been doing it since 2005), so what do I know :-)
Regardless, your contributions are appreciated.

Hey! I am editing the article on Shelley Jackson and noticed in the edit history that (a while ago) you added a "see also" list to the article. I tried to integrate some of the people on the list into the main article, but could actually only find a clear connection to Jackson in two cases (Coover and Landow taught her at Brown.) Do you know how the other people (who seem to be electronic literature authors or critics) connect to Jackson? If so, is there any way you'd be able to write a bit of text that incorporates them into the main article? Thanks, Hobbesy3 16:43, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

To Classicfilms, in recognition of contributions to Barber-Scotia College. The school has been on my radar screen for a long time, essentially because I felt sorry for both the school and the article, but I know almost nothing about the school and didn't have any information to add to the article. It has been gratifying to see you build the formerly pathetic article into an interesting and informative piece, completely with sources. (Would that the school can be similarly blessed in restoring its finances and its academic respectability.) Orlady ( talk) 00:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC) |
