These lobby posters I think are a tad better representative of their articles, a good deal of them lost films. I would like to see more of the silent articles with colorful lobby cards or if possible posters. The original silent patrons were drawn in by the flashy posters that promised. Newspaper adverts (even the smeared smudgy ones) are fine when on viable art can be had.
The first two are short films "Play Safe" (1927) and "A Canine Sherlock Holmes" (1912), I usually try to stay away from shorts but these two wer irresistibly cute. The two Lila Lee films had great newspaper adds with not too much smear so I included them.

On 14 September 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sue Bailey Thurman, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1958 Sue Bailey Thurman used a cookbook to publish a "palatable history" of professional black women? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Sue Bailey Thurman. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Is there a way it can be fixed? There are lots more photos on Commons so you might find one you like better, but I tried to make sure each of the clubhouses were covered since the styles are so varied and it is about the architect.

I'm trying to figure out why you put a nobots template up. Cyberbot didn't do anything wrong with the article in question. I removed it and let Cyberbot run on it again, to repair citation formatting. As a note, archives need to use the archiveurl parameter, while retaining the original url in the url field. Cyberbot has done this for you, and the links will still link through to the archive. This is to keep consistent with established usage of cite templates.— cyberpower Chat:Limited Access 16:54, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

A few minutes ago, I posted a new article, Joan Edwards (radio singer). I wonder if you could tell me what to do to resolve a small problem.
Wikipedia already had an article about Joan C. Edwards. The top of that page notes the existence of a redirect so that if one types "Joan Edwards" in the search box, he or she automatically reaches the Joan C. Edwards page.
Is there a way to delete the redirect page and instead have a disambiguation page so that if someone types "Joan Edwards" in the search box, links to both pages would appear? I put a note at the top of the JCE page with a link to the new article, but a disambiguation page would be good, too. Eddie Blick ( talk) 15:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Awhile back we exchanged messages about Jo Stafford's performances on Johnny Mercer's Music Shop. Therefore, seeing an episode of that show listed among a group of OTR programs to be rebroadcast on August 6 caught my attention.
It's part of a program with the umbrella title Those Were the Days. The station is in Illinois, but it has an Internet feed at www.wdcb.org. The hours are 1-5 p.m. (I assume that's Central Time, with the Illinois location.) If they follow the order listed, the Music Shop will be the third of nine OTR programs.
The episode is probably one that you have heard before, but I wanted to let you know, in case you might want to listen. No specific date is given for the episode -- just "1940s." Eddie Blick ( talk) 02:53, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi We Hope, I had a question about the publication of at least two images I created myself, but did not release them under free use. Instead I restricted the images to be used as information purposes only and that no profit or advertisement should be made. Is this possible under wp:fair use, or would I have to remove them under these circumstances. You can reply here only, I'll check back. Thanks-- Taeyebar 02:23, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
User:SchroCat, User:Gerda Arendt, User:Smeat75 Going on record on my talk page to say that I have always believed to include or exclude an infobox is up to the main editors of an article. I don't believe someone should be going around removing them-and I have yet to see a patrol removing infoboxes from articles. Infoboxes have been removed when articles have undergone major changes and those removals were by the main editor(s) of the respective article; there's no group of editors traveling WP in search of infoboxes to remove from articles. However, I HAVE seen people either adding infoboxes without checking to see what the consensus is or pro-infobox arguments suddenly break out at articles; some of the articles have had the infobox question applied multiple times.
What I am saying is that both sides of the philosophy could and should be using their time at WP in a better manner. There are close to two million stubs in this encyclopedia. Many consist of a sentence, perhaps two of real information about the subject and many times, an infobox. Someone looking for more information does not come to WP to see the infoboxes and come away impressed with all of the infoboxes they've seen here. Expanding these articles with reliable information, and yes, creating new articles with reliable information is the way to serve "the reader"-give them what they want-real information-not infoboxes.

Hi, I just created this article. I wonder if you could help me with a historical question. I found a few newspaper articles that mentioned an Alice Dixon marrying Herndon Daniels, a "sportsman" who was arrested for tax evasion, in 1939; he was associated with the Little Belmont Bar in Atlantic City (see here). The Atlantic City Free Public Library page says that Hernan Daniels married Grace after World War II and they were the owners of the bar since the mid-1930s. Could it be that Hernan was released from jail and remarried after WWII, or that the first couple has nothing to do with the second? Thanks for any light you can shed on this question.

As I was adding categories to the Hollace Shaw article, I wondered about something. Why are there no music-related categories for individuals in old-time radio? "American radio ..." categories include actors, actresses, directors, executives, etc. but no singers, orchestra leaders, musicians or anything like that. Perhaps I'm missing something.

I have posted a new article, Joyce Jordan, M.D., and I'm curious about why the image in the infobox is so small. Before I found the group photo, I had an image of Elspeth Eric in the box, and it was much smaller than the same image appears in the infobox in the Elspeth Eric article. Do you know why the image in the Jordan box is smaller? Do you know how I can make it larger? Eddie Blick ( talk) 13:45, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestion about adding the "250px" coding. I didn't know that could be done in an infobox. I used it, and the image looks much better.
The page that you provided the link to is the one from which I got the picture to upload to Wikimedia Commons. That's one reason I was surprised that the reproduction in the Joyce Jordan, M.D. infobox was so small. I knew that the original image was large when I uploaded it to WC.

These lobby posters I think are a tad better representative of their articles, a good deal of them lost films. I would like to see more of the silent articles with colorful lobby cards or if possible posters. The original silent patrons were drawn in by the flashy posters that promised. Newspaper adverts (even the smeared smudgy ones) are fine when on viable art can be had.
The first two are short films "Play Safe" (1927) and "A Canine Sherlock Holmes" (1912), I usually try to stay away from shorts but these two wer irresistibly cute. The two Lila Lee films had great newspaper adds with not too much smear so I included them.

I'm trying to figure out why you put a nobots template up. Cyberbot didn't do anything wrong with the article in question. I removed it and let Cyberbot run on it again, to repair citation formatting. As a note, archives need to use the archiveurl parameter, while retaining the original url in the url field. Cyberbot has done this for you, and the links will still link through to the archive.

A few minutes ago, I posted a new article, Joan Edwards (radio singer). I wonder if you could tell me what to do to resolve a small problem.
Wikipedia already had an article about Joan C. Edwards. The top of that page notes the existence of a redirect so that if one types "Joan Edwards" in the search box, he or she automatically reaches the Joan C. Edwards page.
Is there a way to delete the redirect page and instead have a disambiguation page so that if someone types "Joan Edwards" in the search box, links to both pages would appear? I put a note at the top of the JCE page with a link to the new article, but a disambiguation page would be good, too. Eddie Blick ( talk) 15:54, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Awhile back we exchanged messages about Jo Stafford's performances on Johnny Mercer's Music Shop. Therefore, seeing an episode of that show listed among a group of OTR programs to be rebroadcast on August 6 caught my attention.
It's part of a program with the umbrella title Those Were the Days. The station is in Illinois, but it has an Internet feed at www.wdcb.org. The hours are 1-5 p.m. (I assume that's Central Time, with the Illinois location.) If they follow the order listed, the Music Shop will be the third of nine OTR programs.
The episode is probably one that you have heard before, but I wanted to let you know, in case you might want to listen. No specific date is given for the episode -- just "1940s." Eddie Blick ( talk) 02:53, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi We Hope, I had a question about the publication of at least two images I created myself, but did not release them under free use.

Is this possible under wp:fair use, or would I have to remove them under these circumstances. You can reply here only, I'll check back. Thanks-- Taeyebar 02:23, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
User:SchroCat, User:Gerda Arendt, User:Smeat75 Going on record on my talk page to say that I have always believed to include or exclude an infobox is up to the main editors of an article. I don't believe someone should be going around removing them-and I have yet to see a patrol removing infoboxes from articles. Infoboxes have been removed when articles have undergone major changes and those removals were by the main editor(s) of the respective article; there's no group of editors traveling WP in search of infoboxes to remove from articles. However, I HAVE seen people either adding infoboxes without checking to see what the consensus is or pro-infobox arguments suddenly break out at articles; some of the articles have had the infobox question applied multiple times.
What I am saying is that both sides of the philosophy could and should be using their time at WP in a better manner. There are close to two million stubs in this encyclopedia. Many consist of a sentence, perhaps two of real information about the subject and many times, an infobox. Someone looking for more information does not come to WP to see the infoboxes and come away impressed with all of the infoboxes they've seen here. Expanding these articles with reliable information, and yes, creating new articles with reliable information is the way to serve "the reader"-give them what they want-real information-not infoboxes.

Do either of you know how to make a map from Open Street Map? We could do with a map of Atlantic City like the New York City one. I used to be able to do it on another site but I've never been able to do it on OSM.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:40, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, you're invited to join this. A loosely coordinated project, but one which I think is really needed to tie Sinatra-related material together, as he created his own world in a way. I think it's something which has long been needed, so hope you're interested and sign up!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:55, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

I am sure it is no, but I'm asking anyway. This] is the only photo I have found of Johns. Obviously would have to be fair use, but is there a way to get rid of the watermarks? SusunW ( talk) 15:45, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your response in the copyrights discussion earlier today!
I found an image in the January 1941 issue of Radio and Television Mirror that I can use in a Wikipedia article that I am about to publish. I feared that I had done something wrong, because at the end of the process of submitting the file to Wikimedia, an error message appeared. However, when I thought I would have to try the upload again, I found that the file was already in place on Wikimedia. You can see its page here. If you notice anything that I should have done differently, please tell me. Eddie Blick ( talk) 19:13, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I just created this article. I wonder if you could help me with a historical question. I found a few newspaper articles that mentioned an Alice Dixon marrying Herndon Daniels, a "sportsman" who was arrested for tax evasion, in 1939; he was associated with the Little Belmont Bar in Atlantic City (see here). The Atlantic City Free Public Library page says that Hernan Daniels married Grace after World War II and they were the owners of the bar since the mid-1930s. Could it be that Hernan was released from jail and remarried after WWII, or that the first couple has nothing to do with the second? Thanks for any light you can shed on this question.

My gosh, sorry to hear you're disenchanted. Your work, from my pov, whether they are the lobby cards/posters, the valedictorian articles you wrote about Wales, is much appreciated. If you go away for a deserved sabbatical and then decide to lead on with your endeavors, good luck to you always. Thanks much.

As I was adding categories to the Hollace Shaw article, I wondered about something. Why are there no music-related categories for individuals in old-time radio? "American radio ..." categories include actors, actresses, directors, executives, etc. but no singers, orchestra leaders, musicians or anything like that. Perhaps I'm missing something. I just wanted to know your thoughts on the topic. Eddie Blick ( talk) 02:24, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

This is just a reminder that Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge kicks off today, with the first subject being Bristol. Please remember to post entries under your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject England/The West Country Challenge/Bristol. You are receiving this message because you are listed as a participant in the challenge.
Happy editing! -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:46, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
The first leg is Bristol. Names are to be added at the bottom of the Bristol page and articles listed. Please also make sure that you add entries you improve/start to the main list on the main page. There will be £10 to win each day for the most points accumulated and then the winner of the county crowed after three days. The overall winner will be decided from the points accumulated from each county round. If you're not interested in winning anything and want to contribute anything you want from the West Country this is fine too though. Best of luck!♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:55, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi WeHope, can you take a look into these various lobby arts for silent films template use; some lost, some still extant.
Well that's about all the ones I have that are somewhat interesting. As always any help is appreciated. Thanks.!

I have posted a new article, Joyce Jordan, M.D., and I'm curious about why the image in the infobox is so small. Before I found the group photo, I had an image of Elspeth Eric in the box, and it was much smaller than the same image appears in the infobox in the Elspeth Eric article. Do you know why the image in the Jordan box is smaller? Do you know how I can make it larger? Eddie Blick ( talk) 13:45, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for the suggestion about adding the "250px" coding. I didn't know that could be done in an infobox. I used it, and the image looks much better.
The page that you provided the link to is the one from which I got the picture to upload to Wikimedia Commons. That's one reason I was surprised that the reproduction in the Joyce Jordan, M.D. infobox was so small. I knew that the original image was large when I uploaded it to WC.
I appreciate your help, as always. Eddie Blick ( talk) 14:15, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
