  • ... that film producer Konstantin Kalser, who won an Oscar for his 1956 short film Crashing the Water Barrier, later admitted the film was an advertisement for an oil company? Source: Staff writer (5 January 1966). "Film Executive Master, Say Soft Sell Experts". The Lima News. Lima, Ohio. United Press International. p. 28 – via New York Times.

  • Hook source is offline, so I will AGF (and a lot of the article's general content, but the existing ones seem to at least verify the man's existence and the most important points). Otherwise: article new and long enough, Earwig says it's good, QPQ done. Good to go then. Juxlos (talk) 15:01, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The reference for Crashing the Water Barrier being an advertisement appears to be wrong. There is no story on page 28 in the 1966-01-05 New York Times that refers to Kalser, nor can I find a reference to Kalser or the film in all of 1966. (If it's supposed to be page 28 in the Lima News, the via field should not be used.) Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:02, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging Vaticidalprophet for visibility. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:02, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's the Lima News. Wasn't sure which field to use for a newswire service. Feel free to tweak the fields accordingly. Vaticidalprophet 20:04, 7 December 2021 (UTC) ping The ed17 in case Vaticidalprophet 20:09, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the newswire is United Press International, which you've already included in the citation, and the New York Times isn't involved? Unless I'm missing something. :-) I'll make the change now, but feel free to fix any errors I make. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 21:10, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, thank you! I was under the impression it was published by the NYT at some point, but if you can't find it you can't find it. I don't use wire-based newspaper cites too often, so it's a bit of a learning curve. Vaticidalprophet 21:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
All's well that ends well! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 02:32, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
