Charles Wood (singer and actor)

edit

This is a great new article. I removed some of the information, however, that was not about Wood. It would better fit, for instance, in the Kiss Me, Kate article. Since our articles contain hotlinks, we do not need to repeat so much information. Also, articles need in-line citations. Any information from the book you cite simply needs in-line citations to the page numbers, like this: <ref>Bloom and Vlastnik, p. 170</ref> See WP:CITE for more information about in-line cites. Feel free to ask me if you need help. See if you can add more sources - a good article will rely on multiple sources. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:30, 17 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Number of performances

edit

In articles about shows, we note (or we should) how many performances and previews the show ran. In the articles about actors, directors, etc., we do not usually not that information unless it is of unusual importance to the person's career. More typically, you could say something like: "Michael Crawford created the role of the Phantom in the long-running musical Phantom of the Opera." Best regards, -- Ssilvers (talk) 01:30, 17 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Elisabeth/Elizabeth Welch

edit

Many thanks for your correction of my misspelling in the Cole Porter article. At least I didn't spell her surname "Welsh". Reading one's own proofs is hopeless, and a sharp pair of new eyes like yours is invaluable! Tim riley (talk) 19:53, 24 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Later: Ssilvers has pointed out that you mustn't alter the title of images or the link will go phut. A very good point. However, what the reader sees is very much to the point. Regards. Tim riley (talk) 20:14, 24 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lee Wilkof, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Matlock (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).
