Error corrected. Thank you very much! :) --Barnblan (talk) 07:34, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Left-wing politics," eh?

From the article: "Reiniger and Koch decided to emigrate (both were involved in left-wing politics)." Hmmm. "Left-wing"? How so? Was Reiniger a Communist? A Marxist? A socialist? Please tell, someone. 108.7.39.114 (talk) 12:10, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed for when she died

Reiniger's death is flagged as citation needed. Is http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1468-0483.2010.01515.x/abstract sufficient? —Salton Finneger (talk) 20:07, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I've got a citation for the location and year, but not the exact day. Is that ok?

Irrelevant

why is it relevant to mention she made a movie which precedes Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs? Those movie have nothing to with each other. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justesting 1 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not irrelevant. Disney's 1937 film is described as "the earliest Disney animated feature film". Reiniger's 1926 The Adventures of Prince Achmed is described as "the oldest surviving animated feature film", preceding Disney's by more than 10 years. Given that in the general population Disney is most assiciated with feature animations, it's helpful to provide this context, which I have restored. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 03:52, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Education - Women Filmmakers' Course - New Sources

Hi all, I'm a student involved in the Wikipedia Education program to improve this page. Listed here find my research sources and annotations for them.

Cavalier, Steven. The world history of animation // Animation. Berkeley : University of California Press, 2011.

A general historical source I have access to via our library. I'm mostly looking to use this for context, but also hoping it can lead me to some other sources on Reiniger as well.

Furniss, Maureen. (2009). Animation Art and Industry. Bloomington, IN : John Libbey Publishing.

A collection of academia. Chapter 2 is entitled "Some Critical Perspectives on Lotte Reiniger." I'm wondering if this isn't too academia/opinion/secondary source, but hopefully the citations of the chapter will lead me to something primary or more factual.

Kaes, Anton. (2016). The promise of cinema : German film theory, 1907-1933. Oakland, California : University of California Press.

Like the Furniss, this source appears a bit more critically oriented, but it covers so many German filmmakers that it may offer insights into Reiniger's process.

Reiniger, Lotte. Shadow puppets, shadow theatres, and shadow films. Boston : Plays, inc., 1975

At first glance, this appears to be a film stills book, but from the citations in the next source, it appears to contain production documentation as well.

Schönfeld, Christiane. (2006). Practicing modernity : female creativity in the Weimar Republic. Würzburg : Königshausen & Neumann.

An essay collection. Chapter 10 , titled "Lotte Reiniger and the Art of Animation," is partially biographical and also details the makings of Prince Achmed. The citation trail is rich with this piece, and may prove informative in and of itself.

Strobel, Christel & Hans. Lotte Reininger: Materialien zu ihren Marchen und Musikfilmen. Atlas Film + AV, 1988

This is an actual biography I found by following the citation trail in the Schönfeld. However, as of this writing I have yet to find an English translation. I plan to continue this hunt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hlqu16 (talk • contribs) 03:32, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Using {{Cite book}} for sources

@Hlqu16: For placing your citations, I would suggest using the {{Cite book}} template via a couple of tools.

Use www.worldcat.org to look up book titles, or use the advanced search. Examine the output of this:
- http://www.worldcat.org/title/shadow-puppets-shadow-theatres-and-shadow-films/oclc/473132700

It provides the ISBN 9780823801985 & the OCLC 473132700 in the Details section.

Use https://tools.wmflabs.org/citer/ by populating it with the ISBN:
- https://tools.wmflabs.org/citer/citer.fcgi?input_type=url-doi-isbn&user_input=9780823801985 produces

<ref name="Reiniger 1975 p. ">{{cite book | last=Reiniger | first=Lotte | title=Shadow puppets, shadow theatres, and shadow films | publisher=Plays, Inc | publication-place=Boston | year=1975 | isbn=978-0-8238-0198-5 | page=}}</ref>

I prefer to edit the template code to remove hyphens from the ISBN, some spaces, & unnecessary blank information, & to add the OCLC # (I think the OCLC # is most important!) so the code then looks like this:

<ref name="Reiniger 1975">{{cite book |last=Reiniger |first=Lotte |title=Shadow puppets, shadow theatres, and shadow films |publisher=Plays, Inc |publication-place=Boston |year=1975 |isbn=9780823801985 |oclc=473132700}}</ref>

Also, please remember to sign your talk posts with rour tildes: ~~~~
