This is my explanation for the creation of a new page.

“In the name of the law” is a feature film about a San Francisco policeman. On many sites, including the original Wikipedia article on the movie, Honus Wagner was mentioned as have a prominent role in the film. This is not true.

I thought this required a two-prong correction.

1. First, I corrected the page “In the Name of the Law (1922 Film)” removing references to Honus Wagner. I thought it wasn’t appropriate to explain the Honus Wagner mix-up on the actual movie page.

1. Second, I thought I should create a second page to explain how Honus Wagner connection occurred. I requested the creation of a new page – “In the Name of the Law (1922 film Honus Wagner).”

This is my rationale for requesting the creation of a new page titled – In the Name of the Law (1922 film Honus Wagner). I think an explanation for the Honus Wagner mix-up should be published somewhere. Note - I am not requesting this page should replace the existing page "In the Name of the Law (1922 film)"

If you have a better solution to clarify this mix-up – please advise.

Thanks

Micheal,

I am unsure how to reach out, so forgive me if I broke any rules, or left this in the wrong place. Through ancestry.com and a photo album left to me by my grandfather, who was a projectionist for Paramount for 40 years, I discovered that my great uncle's photos album have been digitized by the State of California but never annotated, so the photos are largely undiscovered. Leslie E Cuffe began working for Famous Players Lasky in 1920, and went on to be the camera techician for Cecil B DeMille ( with location photos of the Ten Commandments) and Clarence Badger and others. I am not a film buff, but know what I have stumbled upon is of great interest to others. His photos include the projectors from the 1918 film lab at Toronto Tech, pre-production location photos from Old Ironsides, the location filming of The Golden Princess, and wonderful set photos from The Ten Commandments, etc, etc. From director Clarence Badger he purchased his ranch in Lone Pine, which was the site of the Ganga Din.

All I want to do is share, but I have no idea how to do it. And, you sounded like a nice guy :)

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm having a really hard time understanding why you devote *so* much of the article to the Honus Wagner issue. Is this some huge bone of contention over the course of a century or something?

It appears to be completely out of place and disproportionate, and a distraction from actually covering the film itself and its significance and impact.

If we're missing something and somehow Wagner's role or lack thereof is vital to an understanding of the film, please post a message at the top of this page explaining it so we can understand. Do not post it as a section heading, just post it as regular text and sign it, at the top of this Draft page.

@Onel5969: Thanks for your corrections. I have one question. I would like to differentiate between the actual actor's name and the character they play. You suggest I should not bold their name. In order to achieve my goal should I use <em> instead? Thanks Mtjannetta (talk) 17:34, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. First, I hope you don't mind, but I formatted your question to me. This makes it easier to follow threads on talk pages. Second, if you're asking how to differentiate Jane Thomas (the actress) from Mary Donovan (the character), that's what the "as" denotes. Anyone reading that knows that X as Y in a cast list means that X is the actor and Y is the character. Hope that helps. In general, if you have a question about formatting, or how to do something, you can go to the project which covers the subject, in this case it would be Wikipedia:WikiProject Film. If you go to their assessment page, you can find the a link to their list of FA quality articles (you can click on the "159" in the statistics section and it will show you a list). These are the highest quality articles. However, since they are more in-depth, they usually have casting sections, rather than simple cast lists. In this instance, it's more helpful to look at the "B" classed articles. I clicked on one at random, After Earth, and you can see how they formatted it. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:07, 8 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Onel5969: Thanks for the tips. I have joined the Wikipedia:WikiProject Film. Since the use of excessive bolding is frown upon, what do you think about this solution instead?

I've done a little bit of work on films myself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Keep up the good work.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:52, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created,

Hello. In reference to your creation of

I've noticed you've done a lot of spelling edits to the common riding article. However as this is a particularly "Scots" and Britsh English article. It includes a lot of scots spelling and grammar. e.g. Rideout not Ride out or Reiver not Raider. And the use of Neighbouring not Neighboring. I'm not sure on the whole ou vs o or z vs s rules on wikipedia. But in many instances the corrections don't seem to fit. What is your thoughts on reverting parts of it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lady-shirakawa (talk • contribs) 14:45, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lady-shirakawa

"The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language."

Sorry for the delay. My apologies for using a US English dictionary on your article. I should have noticed what was happening. The beauty of Wikipedia is - you don't need my permission to "reverting parts of it." You can certainly undo most, if not all, of my corrections. Maybe you could place a comment (Making text invisible ) at the top of your article e.g. This article uses the British English dictionary. Mtjannetta (talk) 23:33, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Knute Erickson

I've started a short stubby page on Knute Erickson and broadly taken on board your edits at The Non-Stop Flight - including your mention of his birth name. However, I'd be grateful for a bit of background information - as all published sources that I've seen give his birth name as Erickson, what led you to come up with the name Knut Timar? I'm not doubting your research, just curious. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:18, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Guy,

More than happy to send you a zip file of my research for that casting summary including why I dismissed the Utah birth claim as a 1-off.

You could send me your email or make other arrangements to receive the ZIP.

Thanks

Michael Jannetta (talk) 23:15, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. There's an "email this user" link on the sidebar of my user page - I'd better not include my address here. Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:00, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

BTW in my opinion - I think the evidence is pretty firm that Knute was born in Sweden. As I stated previously, I thought the Utah birth article was a one-off. Also, a Utah birth would imply he lied on the federal passport application and a SSN form. Also, several US census records claim his native tongue was swedish and that he was a naturalized citizen.

Just my opinion - your article. Michael Jannetta (talk) 00:02, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I tried to write you a private message but I am a newly created user and the website won't let me send messages. On March 21, 2021, you made a revision in the article of silent film screenwriter Maie B. Havey by adding her date of death as June 1, 1971.
