RE: James Garner

Howdy stranger! I haven't seen you around these parts before.

I had a lot about Maverick in the James Garner article, but if you look at the "history" you'll find that some ornery sheriff, User:Wasted Time R, came along and moved it out, saying that it belonged in the Maverick article, not the James Garner one.

Here is what I had:

….Maverick, starring in the role of Brett Maverick (1957-1960), co-starring with Jack Kelly as his brother Bart Maverick (1957-1962), and later on Roger Moore, as younger brother Beauregarde ("Beau") Maverick (1960-1961; for one season-1961, Robert Colbert played another brother, Brent Maverick).

So, don’t be surprised if some guy black-hats your new info off to another ranch.

Hope to see you gathering strays!

Edit summary

When you make a change, I would please ask that you put something in the Wikipedia:Edit summary box. This REALLY helps us keep track of the herd. It really helps when looking at the History of a page.

KACL

in the KACL (Frasier) article, from what source did you learn that KACL carried NBC news broadcasts? I don't remember ever hearing such branding in any episode. Very curious. Thanks in advance...

-Dan 10:22, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was in one early episode. Frasier took a break for news and the station went to NBC Radio News. It was from an early season, recently shown on Lifetime. I am sorry I don't have the specific episode.

The Tucson Toros and the Tucson Sidewinders

Although you make a good point regarding the technical forebear of the Sidewinders, it's not that simple. There was essentially a "swap" in ownership, as I recall, and considerable continuity between the Toros and the Sidewinders in venues, management, staff, etc. All of the Sidewinders' online, press and fan materials (e.g. programs) trace their history through the establishment of the Toros, not to the Firebirds. Please research your edit further, or I will look it up and try to clarify myself later tonight. Thanks. -- Karen | Talk | contribs 16:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the Tucson Toros article, in which I explain the Toros/Firebirds/Sidewinders sequence in depth. The last version of the Toros to play at Hi Corbett was technically the former Firebirds moved to Tucson, stemming from a behind the scenes change in ownership. The team name in Tucson was always the Toros, most of its staff was the Toros staff, and the same personnel management personel remained through the transition to Sidewinders. Furthermore, the Sidewinders list only the Toros in their team history, never the Firebirds. To say that the Firebirds were the team at Hi Corbett and that the Toros moved to Fresno is misleading. Please stop changing articles based on a highly simplified view of a complex series of events. Thanks. ---- Karen | Talk | contribs 16:15, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Indecency of "Miracle on 34th St." ?

Hi, I noticed you reverted my reversion of the addition of Miracle on 34th St to List of films condemned by the Legion of Decency‎. I reverted that addition because it looked like a facetious edit. On further inspection, I noticed that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops' Office for Film and Broadcasting Movie Reviews -- the successor to the Legion's index -- classified Miracle on 34th St (1947) with the "A-II" rating, several steps removed from the "O" rating which is the successor to the Legions' "condemned" classification. Do you have any reference to the contrary? Thanks, -- Shunpiker (talk) 18:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On further inspection, Black Narcissus which was certainly condemned by the Legion, was revised to A-II in the USCCB movie reviews. So the lack of an "O" rating is not particularly indicative. But The Catholic Crusade Against the Movies, 1940-1975 (indexed on Google books) notes that Miracle on 34th St. was classified as "objectionable in part for all" (p. 64), which is to say a "B" rating (p. 60). The list is only for films that received the "C" rating. -- Shunpiker (talk) 18:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't notice the reference you added! That also specifies a "B" rating. Thanks! -- Shunpiker (talk) 22:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Train in Superman

The passenger train Clark raced in the movie "Superman" is liveried "Kansas Star", not Kansas Pacific. Do you have any citation that the "Kansas Star" train is a reference to the "Kansas Pacific Railway" specifically instead of just a reference to Kansas?

Speedy deletion nomination of Graham Bowley

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Graham Bowley requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.nytimes.com/by/graham-bowley. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
