I noticed that you've been pretty active on silent film articles (including creation / development of some of the J. Gordon Edwards stuff that's long lingered on my to-do list). I finally pushed a J. Gordon Edwards filmography live, and by and large I'm extremely happy with the work I've done there, but I have lingering concerns over the Edwards scenerist credit for The Queen of Sheba. I've explained the situation more thoroughly at the article talk page. I'd value your input on the issue (along with anything else you'd like to point out about the filmography in general). It'd be nice to get stuff settled here, before I start moving down the list of the remaining Edwards films and then pushing for my ultimate goal of GA icons for the entire body of his work.

Hello! Thank you for all the work you've done, in adding articles about silent films to Wikipedia. However, when adding new articles, could you please include a relevant stub tag, and/or the {{WikiProject Film}} banner on the talk page? This will help the article be included in the appropriate categories and task forces. Also, please consider joining the Silent films task force, where you can collaborate with others interested in improving silent films, and find out about updates. We'd love to have you!

I clicked a link while I was at your Amazon link and see there are quite a few offers to sell copies as very reasonable prices. The best bet looks like the "Like New" for $4.99 & shipping. Until McFarland made the generous offer to donate books, I'd looked at prices for the Perry Como biography, which is out of print. Some people with copies were asking $50 and up for them on eBay and the like-Wow! :-) We hope (talk) 18:17, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your removal of the advert for Down Home (1920) from the James O. Barrows article as a mis-identification in the advert: I rechecked the source for the image, page 10 of the Jan. 8, 1921 Duluth Herald, and it lists James O. Barrows in the image caption. Although I disagree with the edit, since I cannot verify the accuracy of the identification as Barrows, I will not challenge your good faith edit. Thanks for your work, Deanlaw (talk) 20:26, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll get going on these ASAP. Can tell you now that the Scarlet Seas choice #1 is a large enough scan for me to see that there are no copyright marks, so that's easily PD. The PD or not question from 1923 on is whether you can find a full copy (borders not trimmed as this is usually where any copyright marks are found) to determine that they didn't copyright the poster or card.

We have posters and lobby cards for many films which have had their copyrights renewed, but when the posters or lobby cards were originally printed, they were not copyright marked, so they're in the public domain. The next step for me with a small or trimmed card or poster is to see if copyrights for the film and its materials were renewed. If that's the case, it can be licensed as copyright not renewed. Will also try to see if some larger copies of some of these can be found; even if they're not in such good shape, if they're large enough and have the borders, they can tell us if it's PD or not.  :) We hope (talk) 20:32, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My only rules are: if we can find 'em and in the case of those from 1923 onward, if they're large enough so I can read the fine print at the bottom (this is where the copyright information, if any, would normally be). Will get started on your list ASAP. ;) We hope (talk) 21:55, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have a couple more yet to do and would like to explain why I did some substituting. When the images were small, I tried finding larger ones, to see if any were not copyright marked. While I was looking, other posters and lobby cards for the films turned up which were large enough for me to tell they had no copyright marks. So we needed to go with the ones clearly not marked as copyrighted. I'll probably have some "extras" (lobby cards) for some of these in the near future. We hope (talk) 02:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much for your kind words! I think we're now caught up on all the posters. I used the French poster for The Barrier because it might be a bit confusing to people to see a book cover there for a film. Tried locating a US poster for that and The Next Corner, but no luck as yet. Did get a lobby card for The Hottentot, though :) Can't believe that summer's coming to an end soon-a friend told me her daughter goes back to school on the 11th of this month, so it must be.

What I got was an ad for the film from an old copy of Motion Picture Daily. ;) If you spend a little time here at Lantern, you'll see a lot of old film magazines and and the like. Many of the copies of older magazines have come from the Library of Congress. The publishers had to deposit a copy when filing for original copyright protection.

Your recent editing history at Kate Mulgrew shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Let me get to the end of this page so I know where I stopped. The person uploaded a lot of posters, many of them from Republic.

I'm not going to be working here because of the infobox issues, but will upload PD posters at Commons and will post links here. We hope (talk) 11:20, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand how you must feel after losing all of that! It's like losing a friend, and in a sense it is, because you worked with the material for a long time.

What I'm not doing any more is editing articles. Fine with me to edit files and so on. If I do, decide not to have an infobox and take the article to GA or FA, then there's the chance that the hue and cry over not having one starts. It inflames tempers on both side of the issue and wastes a tremendous amount of time as well as the arguments go on and on; some are even regularly "recycled" on many articles. I'm tired of having my time wasted in this way, so if I don't expand it, send it for GA or FA, I've won the personal battle of not wasting time. WP may be the poorer for it, but until there are some hard and fast rules about bothering editors about the infoboxes which aren't required, that's it for me re: editing articles.

Many of those saying they want boxes are also pushing (some profusely) for text content creation/expansion, but one can't do both at the same time. The time spent talking boxes is time that can't be put into creation/expansion. If you do both-talk boxes at one article and create/expand another, the box issue may start all over-at the newer article, and the conundrum continues.

I can upload Betty in Search of a Thrill here at WP with a PD-1923-abroad license; PD in the US but perhaps not other places. Those with watermarks can be uploaded here and sent to Graphics for work, then moved after work is done. The Lillie Langtry one is easy. CardCow keeps an archive of sold and unsold cards on their website.

Am also trying to reorganize the images I have archived and start uploading more of them. There are hundreds-enough to make any older film buff happier than happy! :) Here's 3 I recently uploaded: We hope (talk) 14:23, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• File:Valiant lobby card.jpg
• File:The Terror lobby card.jpg
• File:Flaming Flappers poster.jpg

I think the Elvis article really needs to be split with some of it being spun off into separate articles; know I had to cover a lot of ground with Skelton because he was a performer for 70 years before retiring. (Went into the business as a young boy.) When we worked on the Waldorf-Astoria hotel article, there was so much material. It wound up with 2 separate articles-the original hotel from beginning to 1933 and the present hotel from 1933 onward. There's enough material on many of the key figures like George Boldt and Oscar Tschirky that we could easily expand their articles. John Warne Gates was one we did expand and take to GA.

I have some State Street Sadie cards "on hold" and will get them uploaded for you. Are you most interested in the "lost" films? Took a look through a poster sales site the other day and found a lot of material you just can't find elsewhere, particularly on the "lost" films. Many cards for A Harp In Hock, among others. The one bad thing about their archive is it can only be searched by title; searching otherwise means page by page and they have over 20,000 listings. I'll post my uploads here on your page and you can see if anything might have been something on your list. File:Man Who Laughs poster.jpg This just went to Commons-hang in there! :-) We hope (talk) 18:42, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

OK-this one worked out. File:State Street Sadie lobby card.jpg The lobby title card, unfortunately, didn't because it's been trimmed. The copy on the border (most often on bottom border) is what we need to have to see if it's PD. I tried the next step, which was to see if the film had been renewed, and it was. I see that so many times with the lost films-they knew it was lost but renewed it anyhow. See if there's anything you were looking for here, as I uploaded quite a bit today.

When you look at the posters, they say something re: 5 reels of action. Rickard knew how to make money.

I think we tend to forget how it was for those back in that time. If you didn't go to the event itself, there was only one way to really see it even though it was after the fact and that was via film. They had no pay per view or even closed circuit at a local theater. I found a letter from the Chicago Federation of Labor asking that the ticket price of $1 per person to view the film be lowered because they thought it was too expensive for quite a few people.

The Dempsey one is by Otis. After you look at enough of these, you get to know which ones were contracted by which companies. MGM almost always dealt with Tooker Litho in NY for posters. Some dealt with Otis, some dealt with Butts of NY and some with Morgan. There was also a Miner Co. in NY who printed film posters.

Not a lot of signed lobby cards but First National dealt with Ullman in NY for most of theirs. Others like Paramount had cards done by Wyanoak, NY. Some 1920s MGM cards were done by Lubin, NY and American Multi Color of NY. Later on, those printing the cards didn't have their names on them. We hope (talk) 17:48, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country’s done for.

New Page Patrol?

Hi Koplimek,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a

Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 21:12, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of suicides

Hi. Thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to List of suicides. However, the edit had to be reverted, because as I'm sure you know by now, Wikipedia cannot accept

uncited material

, and this indeed includes list-format articles, especially List of suicides, for which we had a discussion on this point years ago. If you want to restore your addition, please do so only with the proper citation accompanying.

Also, one other thing: If you can, please observe the format in which each entry is written. They're not written in full sentences, and therefore, don't end in a period. Rather, the general description of the who the person is, followed by the method. The reason is usually not given, especially when it's depression, since that's probably the reason for most of the suicides. It's also redundant to say "self-inflicted", since well....you know. :-) Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:03, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the two entries before and after yours, as examples:

• Nick Santino (2012), American soap opera actor, overdosed on pills^[1]
• Carl Sargeant (2017), Welsh politician and former member of the Welsh Government, hanging^[2]

The Eternal Mother

Hi Koplimek, I noticed your changes to

WP:HATNOTERULES. Including the '(disambiguation)' indicates that the link to the disambiguation page is intentional and doesn't need to be replaced with a more specific target. Personally, I prefer to simply write out the full name, 'The Eternal Mother (disambiguation)', but if the article already has the shortened version, I usually maintain that to respect the previous editor's work. The result is the same for the reader. Leschnei (talk) 12:56, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply

Merry Merry

		Happy Christmas!
		Hello Koplimek, Early in A Child's Christmas in Wales the young Dylan and his friend Jim Prothero witness smoke pouring from Jim's home. After the conflagration has been extinguished Dylan writes that Nobody could have had a noisier Christmas Eve. And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim's Aunt, Miss. Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snowballs, and she said, "Would you like anything to read?" My thanks to you for your efforts to keep the 'pedia readable in case the firemen chose one of our articles :-) Best wishes to you and yours and happy editing in 2019.

templates for IMDB and IBDB links

Hi! You may already be aware of this, but the appearance and stability of your recently created articles like

reliable source, and often has factual errors (wrong dates, misidentified family members, etc.). More reliable sources such as books or newspapers should be used instead. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 01:16, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply

]

Hi AnimalParty, I appreciate your concern. But templating doesn't always work when the urls change or even when the urls don't change, that's why I'm always upgrading and correcting other peoples' mistakes particlarly the coding for IMDb and IBDB. Both seem to go from unsecure-http to secure-https, it's an ongoing manual job keeping wiki updated and relavent and protecting links from 404error. That's another reason for placing info/urls in External links so important material gets archived by Wayback and that seems to work really well, not always but well enough. I wish I had done that in early years at Wiki ie 2008-12. Some great material has been lost. But ordinary in-line b/w citations bypass all of that but even with that you have no way of knowing if a source link is still active or defunct without actually typing it in to search. Thanks AMBest.Koplimek (talk) 01:39, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(Let's keep this conversation on one page for convenience) I see, although I don't know if I agree. While archiving links is certainly good for stability (even if the source is unreliable), the purpose of Wikipedia isn't in and of itself to generate archived links, and you can always archive URLs directly and instantly by typing them into sites like https://archive.org/web/ or http://archive.ph/ or http://archive.st/. And while I don't have a lot experience with the inner-working of templates, the logic should go that changes/corrections/ to all links governed by templates can be managed centrally, to prevent 404 errors like you say, and reduce the need for ongoing manual jobs (

WP:LINKROT explicitly recommends not using bare URLs). And I don't see why going from unsecured to secure https would be a problem, it should be an improvement. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:09, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply

to respond to earlier post about findagrave, while some(not all contributors) don't encourage findagrave as a citation, it is not forbidden. Some findagrave entries are better than others especially on long lost players, actors, their cemeteries etc. In other words it's a place to start not to use singular without other backup sources. Templates; there have been a few people who were excellent contributors who retired from Wikipedia over the issue of templates. When I created the Alexander Carr article, there was a pink box placed on a previous draft article using the name Alexander Carr preventing an upload of any article with that name, which is why I augmented my upload to Alexander Carr (actor) to bypass the pink draft block. It has since been normalized to Alexander Carr by I think FloridaAmy. I don't archive or harvest links on Wikipedia that are not relavent, I and many other contributors use the same sources repeatedly because they adequately verify information; there's no rule against that. For instance IMDb is used in External links on almost every movie and personality in the business dead or alive(it is sometimes citated as well). This issue with IMDb came up several years ago because a few people complained it wasn't perfect. Some of the issues are petty as Wikipedia has many arbitrary rules(ie rules that are not consistent). The LINKROT WP page also actually says 'do not delete a page because the URL to the source does not work any longer'. Keep in mind WP LINKROT is a page that can be edited by anyone so it might say one thing today and another tomorrow. The https/http is a problem because it's not consistent, it's not Wikipedia's fault, some sites will work with either and like I said others won't. HATNOTES: Citation Hatnotes/Headnotes are a real chore as many contributors and or bots put these up without being made to dig up the sources. They litter many a article even when articles may be adequately source. You're kind of new, stick around, turn a few white pages into articles, gain that experience of making a page of information viable. Koplimek (talk) 03:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Wild Olive poster

I am looking to use this poster for the lost film The Wild Olive now a public domain film. How do you to submit to Commons to take the watermark out. The Wild Olive poster link any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Koplimek (talk) 18:29, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not at all aware of a method to remove an embedded watermark, especially if you do not have the original altered graphic (I assume that by carefully using only watermarked images is how they were able to get a good price for the original poster at auction, if it is truly a one-of-a-kind poster). Only advise (which you already know): suggest asking for assistance at the Silent Films Task Force page, or perhaps at one of the graphics task forces (which I have not researched) for assistance, if it can be done using the website image than it is more likely they might know how / have the graphics programming tools to do it. I know GettyImages uses watermarks, and are able to charge what seem to me to be high prices for use of their original out of copyright images. Good luck, and best wishes on this endeavor!

What reliable sources are in Tariq Nasheed backing your edits

I see nothing in the article or anywhere else. And we don’t gibe dates of birth for BLPs without multiple reliable sources. Note that I need an answer. You don’t seem to respond here, not a good look for someone with your experience. Doug Weller talk 19:37, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

aveleyman.com

It doesn't appear you respond to comments here, but in case you wanted an explanation for reverting you: I don't believe aveleyman.com is appropriate as an external link in general, and certainly not in a BLP article. See Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_334#Reliability_of_Aveleyman.com and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#aveleyman.com_spam --Hipal (talk) 00:17, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
