Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, Flyingw, I'm Grammarxxx. I noticed you were new, or at least that nobody has officially welcomed you yet, so let me be the first to say hello, give you some tips, and share a few useful links.

Here are some links you might find helpful:

• User tutorial
• Help desk
• Policy on maintaining a neutral point of view
• Policy for content when editing articles and creating new ones
• Notability guidelines for people
• Tips for settling disputes
• Guidelines for properly writing and formatting articles

I know they're a little boring (okay... a lot boring) but they may come in handy someday.

I give every newcomer two tips for adding content: cite references whenever possible, and try to set aside any personal points of view. Aside from that, just be patient and receptive, ask questions whenever you need to, and have a good time. If you want to experiment with coding or see how articles will look before you post them, you can use your own private sandbox at User:Flyingw/sandbox for any tests you want to do. (The link will turn blue after you start the page.)

Now that you have your own user name, you can sign your comments on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~). This will automatically stamp your user name, the time, and the date. That will help other users reply to your posts. You may also want to fill out your user page to tell others a bit about yourself.

I hope this information is useful to you, and I'm looking forward to seeing your contributions. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me for help. Good luck, and happy editing! Grammarxxx (talk) 022:15, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Frank Hopkins age

Hello! I recently found a sentence in the Frank Hopkins article I was concerned about, because it sounded too much like an editor's opinion:

[...] his 1905 photo, reprinted on this page, is clearly not that of a 20-year-old, indicating that the 1885 birthdate is highly unlikely

I found that you added that sentence in August 2011 here:[1].

Do you remember the edit? Did you use some source for it, or did you look at the photograph and thought "This doesn't add up, he doesn't look 20"? I think answering on the article Talk page would be best.— Marvin ^talk 10:54, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

==

Someone, with apparent little knowledge of the film/TV industry, has incorrectly stated that this is a “'minor screewrite [sic], author of only a few episodes of a few series. This writer, Worley Thorne, has written or re-written over a hundred television hours, has been script consultant for TV movies, TV series and TV pilots, and has written a half-dozen feature film screenplays which have been placed under option by seasoned film producers. This writer has written 25 produced hourlong scripts for 17 series, plus a half-dozen others written on contract to producers, but unproduced due to series' cancellations. None of these numbers can fairly and honestly be said by anyone to be a "few," and certainly not with the cut-throat competition in Hollywood for just one writing sale. Furthermore, this writer has re-written or edited ALL of the scripts on three TV series, as Executive Script Consultant, bringing his writing to well over one hundred TV screenplays. The Executive Script Consultant (now usually titled Supervising Producer) hires and guides other professional writers in developing their scripts. With tens of millions of dollars at stake, studios do not hire "minor" writers to perform these jobs. I have edited the copy herein, believing that that is what the instructions required, to stop deletion of this article. It was a bit unclear to me; I hope I have done so correctly. If Wikipedia is to be an encyclopedia and not a list of the Top Ten, I believe this article ought to be part of it.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the proposed deletion/dated notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Vandalism warning (June 2016)

Please desist from editing disruptively, as you did at George Raft or you may be blocked from editing. Quis separabit? 00:31, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

I am never disruptive. I am not a vandal. I am a scholar. The birthdate you have for George Raft, though supported by documents, is inaccurate if we may judge by Raft's own admission, just months before he died, to Mike Douglas on Douglas' TV program. This excerpt appears on YouTube and I supplied the link and access date. Census reports were notoriously inaccurate, due to a number of factors, in Raft's youth, and I believe the stronger evidence of Raft's age is his own video-recorded statement. Why would Raft lie and make himself older at his advanced age? However, I did not delete your view of Raft's age. I gave a fair and balanced appraisal of the evidence. If Wikipedia is to remain a true Wiki, I suggest that you not toss about charges of vandalism so freely. Let's not confuse scholarly disagreement with heavy-handed schoolboy claims of "I'm right - you're wrong!"
