Here's a Call Someone Who Cares

New GG edits

Hi F&H, an editor has made an interesting change in the number of nominations for A wards G received. Perhaps you've seen them. I recommended that s/he cite the change (sounds legit) at the beginning otherwise someone will likely change it back since nobody knows about this, including all the authors I've read. Can you go to my talk p. and help this person with the sourcing?

Meanwhile, I miss you! Hope you've been having a fine weekend. --Classicfilmbuff (talk) 21:20, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

I've been sort of following the changes and discussion; I'll try to play catch-up and stop by tomorrow to see how I might be able to help. Fat&Happy (talk) 03:32, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Wow. I can't believe the extent of your research on this problem/issue. I'll be disappointed if the editor doesn't respond. I hope it's not to complex and time-consuming for him/her to take the time and do it right. I know i dont have the time. Back again, Your pal, Classicfilmbuff (talk) 18:30, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Well, as has happened before, my somewhat verbose writing style makes it look like there was more work behind it than there actually was.

The one part of my comments I was hoping you could help out with is the secondary sources, since you seem to have – or at least have easy access to – the major bios. What do Paris, Vieira, Swenson, et al. say about her and the Oscars? As implied at the end of my comments, I sort of favor fudging the issue if the bios don't make a definitive statement on counts. Like, for the lead or an intro: "Garbo received Academy Award Best Actress nominations for her work in four films...", then for 1930 "she was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her work in both Romance and Anna Christie". Etc., etc., etc. (mixing sources – I saw the Rex Harrison non-musical version on TCM over the weekend). Fat&Happy (talk) 18:56, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Removing "lobbyist" inclusions

You brazenly removed all of my edits to pages of politicians whose current employment is now in lobbying. My source is the Center for Responsive Politics: http://www.opensecrets.org/revolving/top.php?display=Z. What they're currently doing is by definition notable and is also in line with the pages of several others - Evan Bayh, Blanche Lincoln, and Tom Daschle, to name a few. I will be reinserting my edits.
