I agree, I would not have thought that was her name either, i.e. Jessica Tandy was born as Jessie Alice Tandy. However, the name Jessica was already there so I assumed it was correct and used it. Feel free to change it back to Jessie, but make sure you do so in a consistent way. Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com ( talk) 23:05, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
All good questions. The image used for Jessie Matthews is not a good example. I uploaded it, but upon reflection it's not within our aims to use images without attributing the copyright holder, although there are numerous images used in the same manner, which seem to have acceptance. I think the best thing would be to use an image where the copyright holder is known, and support the use of the image with a fair use rationale. If you find something you think would be suitable, I would be happy to help you. I would also like to apologise to you for the tone of the comments at the WP:ACTOR page. To be truthful, it was a sketch of Simon Baker that I found particularly unsuitable, and it just happened that I saw your Sonnie Hale image on the same day I saw the Simon Baker image. My main objection to the use of sketches is that they often don't represent the person equally to everyone who looks at it. For example, I thought the Simon Baker image looked nothing like Simon Baker and was therefore not useful. Another editor commented on what a good likeness it was. Some of the comments, including mine, were very unfriendly and tactless, and I wasn't thoughtful enough to consider how the person who created the image/s would feel to read such a discussion. I'm very sorry about that. Rossrs ( talk) 13:23, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your edits to Oh, Kay!. I thought that the information that you added was very helpful. I kept most of it and streamlined it a bit to retain the most important info. You certainly did explain the reason that the song was moved, and your excellent explanation gave me enough information to conclude that the detail about why the song was moved is not really needed in the article. I also alerted another Wikipedian, User:MarianWilde, who has done a lot of work on this article, to look over what you and I did to see if she agrees with me. If she thinks that the detail should, in fact, be included, she will put it back in. But if you feel that I was wrong to delete the detail, simply write on the article's Talk page to explain why you think most encyclopedia readers would need to know this, and then we can all discuss what is best for the article. One of the most difficult things to get perfect in editing this encyclopedia is the relative weight to give facts in order to achieve the right balance. All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 16:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
