Edits to film editor articles

I noticed that you've made a number of good edits to film editor articles on my watchlist lately. I did have one question: you're favoring the date format "25 December 2009" over the format "December 25, 2009", which leads to inconsistent formatting within the article in a couple of cases. Is there something I missed in the Manual of Style that favors one over the other? Cheers, Easchiff (talk) 13:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Philip Cross! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 7 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 730 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Hitchcock

I notice you've removed a lot of superlatives from the Alfred Hitchcock article. Any reason for this? I don't think they're questionable. What's your line of thinking? --bodnotbod (talk) 23:20, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Editors are advised to avoid peacock terms. Philip Cross (talk) 23:23, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. Thanks for your reply. --bodnotbod (talk) 12:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just a quick follow-up; if this is something you find yourself doing again, it would be really handy to link to (or at least mention) the policy in your edit summary. --bodnotbod (talk) 12:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Harriet Andersson image

An image from an article that you edited, Harriet Andersson, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. - DonCalo (talk) 13:13, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revert at Tatchell

That was an inappropriate edit summary as you clearly did not revert me, you added a ref, totally different, and well done for doing that but please do take more care with edit summaries. Thanks, SqueakBox talk contribs 16:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Lenny Henry Show

Phillip, Trexx and Flipside 'predominantly Black cast.' Philip, The Lenny Henry Show was not a situtation or narrative comedy. It was an comedy entertainment or 'sketch show.' The difference is crucial. Sitcoms tell stories and emphasise charcaterisation and are officially separate from comedy entertainment/sketch as Genre by all major national and internaitonal broadcasters. To confirm this, visit BBC Commissioning at bb.co.uk/commissioning. Willhanrahan talk contribs 11:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The series in 1987 and 1988 was based around the Delbert Wilkins character and took the form of a sit com. Philip Cross (talk) 11:31, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

Re: "The March 2010 page indicates both nationality/residence for several article subjects." I don't see any references to residence as opposed to nationality. I would be interested to know who you mean. It is stated at the top of the page (Deaths in 2010) that the format is "Name, age, country of citizenship and reason for notability" etc. It says nothing about place of residence. Regards, WWGB (talk) 14:16, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a possible compromise, I have added a reference to University of Bradford to her entry [1]. WWGB (talk) 14:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Foot

It's not the scale of the defeat that's in dispute, it's the reason for it. You didn't read my edit summary did you?
