Mae Day
[edit]Thanks for the detailed proof that Mae West was born in 1893! As a West fan, I'm tired of both the insistence she was born in 1892 and the idiotic gossip she was born several years before that!! One of these days somebody is going to claim she was 60 when she made her first film. (206.124.207.102 18 Feb 2006)
More Joan Crawford
[edit]Thank you for tidying up some of the areas in the Joan Crawford page that I missed. It all looks great. I wonder how long before someone changes it. regards Rossrs 11:04, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
Joan Crawford's age
[edit]Is she 100? Hi Fred,
I'm interested in the murky issue of Joan Crawford's date of birth, and notice that you've recently changed it to 1906. On what basis do you make that change? I'm just interested to know if you might have found something useful in that regard.
It's an odd situation and various sources have different dates.
- The book Joan Crawford: The Last Word by Fred Lawrence Guiles ISBN 1857932684 gives 1905 based on his "research" though he doesn't define what his "research" was.
- Joan Crawford at IMDb gives 1904.
- Genealogy Mag article assumes birth date to be 1905 based on young Lucille LeSueur being aged 5 in a 1910 census.
- Same article as above quotes Charles Kidd, in Debrett Goes to Hollywood, saying Lucille was probably born in 1904.
- Standard Times online quotes author Karen Swenson, who is researching for a Joan Crawford biography, as saying she believes Crawford was born in 1904 based on the timing of Crawford's birth in relation to other events which can be somewhat more easily verified. (Also states San Angelo as a more likely place of birth than San Antonio).
- Carl Johnes who knew Crawford and wrote about her after her death says that San Antonio did not keep birth records until 1908 - Crawford chose 1908 as her official year of birth simply because it was the earliest birth she could claim based on the fact that birth records did not exist. He says he date of birth could be anywhere between 1904 and 1908 depending on who you believe.
I find it all interesting and a bit of a mystery - not a solveable one probably - and now 1906 is thrown into the mix, so I'm just curious. I'll put this in the Joan Crawford talk page also in case anyone else can shed some light.
Perhaps the article should not attempt to provide a definitive birth date, but perhaps say c. 190- (whatever shows to be the most substantiated date) with perhaps a sentence or two about the doubt about the date. What do you think?

Promoted to glory
[edit]Using this phrase for death is a clear breach of Wikipedia's neutrality policy so I have removed it. The articles should be written in neutral language for everyone, not specially phrased to suit the preferences of a particular group. If you feel it is essential to mention this concept in each article I suppose it would be acceptable to write "X died at the age of XX. (within the Salvation Army the death of a Salvationist is known as being Promoted to Glory. ). 82.35.34.11 22:14, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

On 'my browser the Riverboat article edit that I "reverted" (to your consternation, actually these were resized smaller) shows all images neatly to the right in a vertical stack. It sounds like this is not the case with your browser, as you indicate the images are bunched at the top. I use Safari on the Mac and have no problem with a number of other browsers. If this is not working correctly for you this might indicate a Wiki problem. Answer here, I will watch, or post this and your answer to my page. Best wishes, Leonard G. 04:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Could you provide me with a 4:1 reduced jpeg of a screen shot of the layout you see? Also, the browser and OS. You may e-mail this as an attachment to my e-mail address which I will send to you via the user contact e-mail (WP does not allow attachments). I will send you what I see. This sounds like a serious problem. To get the page use the article history or to select edit of 06:53, 16 May 2005 or use the link [1].

Article Licensing
[edit]Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
Spelling out IMDb/IBDB
[edit]Hi -- regarding the external links in Jayne Mansfield ("IMDb" vs. "Internet Movie Database"/"IBDB" vs. "Internet Broadway Database"), I think it's more helpful to users if they can immediately tell from a link where it leads. If a user doesn't know what "IMDb" or "IBDB" mean, they are unlikely to follow the links just to find out. Tregoweth 22:04, Aug 19, 2004 (UTC)
Section headings
[edit]I note that you have been changing headings in various places to capitalize each word, as in "Section Heading". This is contrary to [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style {headings)]]. I haven't taken the time to search out every place where you have made such changes, but it would be nice if you would not do this, so that we can maintain a reasonably consistent style. --Michael Snow 20:03, 21 May 2004 (UTC)

Welcome
[edit]Hello "FredR" and welcome to Wikipedia. A few tips for you:
- Peruse Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers and associated pages.
- You can experiment in the Wikipedia:Sandbox.
- Sign talk page entries with ~~~~, which is automatically converted to a name and date.
- Ask questions on Wikipedia:Village pump.
- Happy wiki'ing, -- Infrogmation 04:49, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Page moves
[edit]When you want to move a page, please follow the guidelines at WP:MOVE. "Cut and paste" moves leave the editing history behind. Also, it's important to check for double redirects after a page move. Anyway, you're doing great otherwise, thanks for contributing. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 19:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Request for References
[edit]I noticed that you just added a lot of information to the Jaclyn Reding article and was wondering where you got it. The information that you added really needs to be cited, especially because the information has been removed before. e.g. the name "Jaclyn Adamowicz" has been removed due to lack of references. So if you could add some links, the book that you got it from, or an interview you got it from that would be great, thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 16:36, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter if you can attest to it or not, but it needs to be referenced in the article. Romancewiki is not a reliable source and when googling "Jacyln Adamowicz" only 4 unique results turn up; one of which is romance wiki, two spanish sites where the information has been taken from wikipedia and one is another foreign language site of which I am not familiar. Which is why I am concerned about where the information has come from. Wikipedia:Citing sources is a good place to start when citing sources, templates can be found here Wikipedia:Citation templates. Information on what is verifiable and what is a reliable source can be found at each link. I would also recommend that you take a look at the policy on no original research, this is one of the reasons why citation is so important so if you can please add your citations to the article it would be appreciated. Thank you. --ImmortalGoddezz 19:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Where footnotes go
[edit]If you're working on an existing article that consistently uses the convention that footnotes go immediately after punctuation with no intervening spaces — such as Hugh E. Rodham did before your changes — please do not change the convention, and please do not change some of the footnotes to go before the punctuation, or to have added intervening spaces. It just degrades the appearance and consistency of the article, to no useful end. Thanks. Wasted Time R (talk) 03:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Jaclyn Reding
[edit]I noticed that you reinstated information on the author, Jaclyn Reding that had been removed. I have reverted your edit because none of the information can be verified by a reliable source, and seems to be original research. As the original research policy states 'Facts must be backed by citations to reliable sources that contain these facts' Ancestry.com is of dubious reliability and your use of USsearch is original research. Added to those two things I cannot find any reliable source that says that Jacyln Reding has gone by the name Jaclyn Adamowicz. The ancestry of Reding needs to be published in a reliable secondary source before the information is added back to the article. I hope this makes sense and helps you with future editing. --ImmortalGoddezz 20:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Edit summaries
[edit]Hi FredR, I have noted that your contributions recently to the Anna May Wong article have introduced new elements which have been beneficial. The one comment that I would like to make is that major changes should appear on the talk page, either before, during or after the revision (most useful is before, of course) and that any edit should be accompanied by an edit summary, regardless of how brief. I have copywrited "tweak" as my very quick note, but I can lease it to you for a nominal fee. Jest kiddin' as I know you are an experienced writer and editor, but edit comments and talk discussion are essential for other editors to see the direction you are going.

Cut and paste move
[edit]Please don't move articles by copying and pasting them to a new location, as you did with Down and out (disambiguation). Cut and paste moves are problematic because they split the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Please only use the "Move" tab to move a page, and if a page exists at the desired target location, follow the instructions at WP:RM to file a move request. --Muchness (talk) 18:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Ranchos of California
[edit]FredR, I see that you have figured out that the 2 lists of Mexican Era Ranchos on the Ranchos of California page are obsolete (and should be deleted) and are replaced by List of Ranchos of California (the list of Spanish Era Ranchos should probably stay). On Lists of Mexican Era Ranchos, I have had complaints that it loads too slowly - because it is so big. To keep the size down, I am trying to keep detailed information out of the list (and instead put it in the individual rancho articles). I took out a lot of place names in the'location' column, just leaving a 'representative' city rather than being comprehensive (also added a Coord). Thanks for the fixes.(PS Sorry about being on the bottom of your talk page - just following the recent concensus)Emargie (talk) 20:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Lifetime
[edit]I noticed when editing you recently added the template {{Lifetime}} to an article, replacing DEFAULTSORT or categories in the process. While the template {{Lifetime}} is a useful short-cut when setting up biographies it is not generally considered wise to replace existing categories or DEFAULTSORT for a number of reasons. The chief amongst them are that the template hides information from editors and automatic processes or requires additional knowledge to understand. This is only a minor point, many thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia, please keep it up!

Playmates of 1973
[edit]Hi. I was just wondering if you could tell me why you made this edit. Thanks, Dismas|(talk) 17:13, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- Her name is in bold because she was Playmate of the Year. If you go through the other years, you'll see that the rest of them are that way as well. Do you think that maybe that should somehow be pointed out more clearly in the template? Dismas|(talk) 06:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit] Hello FredR! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. 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 this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 738 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Lee Moran and Russell Bassett
[edit]Hello. I reverted your reverts to both Lee Moran and Russell Bassett because, again, you added various content that is no longer used. We no longer add image.svg files to articles as they are deprecated. If an image is needed, it is documented on the talk page using the Wikiproject biography template. We also no longer link dates (including years) per WP:MOSDATE. Further, the usage of U.S. instead of USA is acceptable per WP:MOSABBR, as is the usage of city/state templates as they prevent overlinking (see discussion regarding that here. Thank you.

List of fictional characters ... pending deletion
[edit]Hello,
You may be interested in the discussion regarding deleting a list article regarding fictional Carpenters. You have in the past created a List of surname Howell. I created a list of real and fictional Carpenter because other editors/admins told me to do so from the Carpenter surname page. Now others want to delete it. I was happy with the way it was and would be happy to merge the fictional Carpenters with the list of surname Carpenters. Any input, pro or con would be welcome.

Non-free rationale for File:J.FrankDalton.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:J.FrankDalton.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

We do not use USA in infoboxes - it's either U.S. or US - per MOS:ACRO.

notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page 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. Jmertel23 (talk) 16:28, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
