Pen-name?

In the bibliography many of the books are by Arthur Baker or other names. Did Langley use pen-names? If os the article should say otherwise tis a tad confusing. Smokey TheCat 09:44, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. They are the publisher's names. Sorry, to be so dim. Smokey TheCat 09:45, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

If Noel Langley was born in South Africa in 1911 he would have been a British citizen and carried a British passport. His successful film career was mainly based on British films. Why then does Wiki describe him as American?.

He may have become an American citizen but must he really be described so matter of fact as American?...Oh Dear....Oh Dear.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.113.13 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This has since been made more clear. --GentlemanGhost (converse) 04:48, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Playing Farmhands and Dorothy’s companions…

The article says: “Changes he introduced to the story are the inclusion of the actors playing the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion characters as farmworkers in the sepia tone Kansas sequences…” - but this is what happened in the 1925 silent version; Larry Semon, Oliver Hardy and Curtis McHenry played the farmhands and the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion respectively, so the idea wasn’t original to Langley’s script.
