Greetings, Mr. Blick. First of all, a very belated Happy New Year. Second, I was delighted to see you’ve started work on Skippy Hollywood Theater. Though I’m far from an OTR maven, I had gained at least a glancing familiarity with some of the anthology series in the course of researching the pre-mystery-writing career of my late mother, Jane Speed. The most frequently produced of her radio scripts, “Farewell to Birdie McKeever” (originally "McKeesler") was, I would venture, most successfully realized by Mitchel and Co., feat. the pre-femme fatale Gloria Grahame—really charming in what, esp. in hindsight, seems utterly atypical casting—& Dan O’Herlihy, among others.
Long story short, I’m assuming that the recent Newspapers.com issue is what’s delayed further work on that project. For my part, I have my own NPC sub, as well as access to Proquest. I’d be happy to help in any way you deem appropriate; for example, I’m sure I can dig up citations for every episode title—as well at least one featured player (as well as at least the occasional writer)—for each of the CBS episodes. [BTW, for your wiki-linking info, I already created a wiki for Del Castillo—i. e. Del Castillo (organist).] DavidESpeed ( talk) 04:27, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
@ David, I'm sure you noticed that I listed the episodes alphabetically, rather than by dates, for the syndicated version of the show. I thought that might be better because in syndication a given episode might have been broadcast on diffent dates by different stations. Do you think it would be better to include each episode's date as found in the source (and use chronological order) anyway? Eddie Blick ( talk) 02:58, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
@ David, Thanks for your recent improvements. I appreciate the additions that you have made to the article (especially with regard to tables of episodes). I think that it is ready to move to article space. Do you agree, or do you have other changes in mind that would merit keeping it as a userpage? Eddie Blick ( talk) 20:45, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi. What do you think about using this source for Shawn Batten's birth date? https://www.geocities.ws/TelevisionCity/Studio/1210/library/shawn-interview.html. It says Steve Lukather is 14 years her senior. Since he is born in 1957 that would make her born in 1971. Or does that count as original research? DrKilleMoff ( talk) 23:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
But there is no specific age mentioned in the article. It just says that Lukather is 14 years her senior. DrKilleMoff ( talk) 11:53, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
What do you think about using this source for Heidi Lenhart's date of birth?
https://nedhardy.com/2023/10/26/heidi-lenhart/#more-16491
I added it in the article but it was reverted without any reason. I can't see anything wrong the the source. Can you? DrKilleMoff ( talk) 21:59, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
He/she just said that it wasn't reliable without any further motivation. I posted it at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard along with soap hub that he/she also removed as source for Heather Tom's birth date. There I did managed to find a Chicago Tribune source as well though. I haven't gotten any answers though. DrKilleMoff ( talk) 15:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
I'm trying at the page you mentioned too. Hope it's ok if I mention you there that you don't see anything wrong with it either. DrKilleMoff ( talk) 15:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

I saw that you edited Alma Macrorie's Wikipedia page. You have done an amazing job! I found an insanely useful resource that could help both of us. It's called the ACE Second Decade Anniversary Book. It has many biographies and deaths of various film editors that have never been posted on the internet before. Disclaimer, some of the death dates may be inaccurate. For example, they listed Alma Macrorie's death date as September 12, 1969 instead of June 28, 1970. But from my research, the rest of the death dates are accurate.
Here's some changes that I've made using that book as a source:
Let me know if you want to collaborate with me, and we can knock these editors out of the park. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 23:28, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
