Doc, actress Nutan (Nutan Behl) was married to Col. Rajnish Behl. However, their son appears in Wikipedia as Mohnish Bahl. I have a feeling you can solve this mystery. No hurry, after vacations perhaps... Enjoy it, we will be here when you're back. Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 00:00, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
Mohnish Bahl seems the most common spelling. Perhaps he changed the spelling slightly for professional reasons. Can you find any source which disproves he is their son?♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:17, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the Barnstar, Dr B! I do recall doing some work on Czech actors and films a while back. The Czech Film Database was very handy for actor bios, etc. If you have a list of directors and/or actors who have many gaps on EN wiki in their filmographies, drop me a note, and I'll be happy to turn that sea of red to blue. Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 11:58, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
I'll try to improve the article about Miroslav Cikán, Blofeld. Try Loves of a Blonde, Intimate Lighting or A Report on the Party and the Guests if you like Golden Sixties/Czech New Wave. Personally I think that Marketa Lazarová is the best Czech film ever made, but I have to agree with you that The Shop on Main Street is a masterpiece. I remember Jozef Kroner rather as a comedy actor from the beautiful series Slovácko sa nesúdí, but he was really fantastic also in this tragedy. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 12:09, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Hello DB. I see you are working on SK's ACO film today. I am wondering it you might be interested in taking a look at this Talk:A Clockwork Orange (film)#Public perception of genre .28proposed_re-write.29. The genesis of this is a bit long and involved. Some of the info about it can be seen in the threads above - including one at the top of the talk page. IMO the info would be of benefit to the article and I think that a skilled editor like you could improve its usefulness. OTOH you might not agree with the sections premiss or you might not be interested in working on it. I also know that it might be a hassle to come in on the middle of this so no worries if you would rather not deal with it. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 16:34, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
@MarnetteD: Oh pretty much the whole thing will need a rewrite. I'd thought the same thing, concision is always better. Don't worry, Clockwork is one of my targets with the books through the grant to get to GA status. For now I'm just compiling info in my sandbox and adding some quotes and stuff to films, and I can decide what to do with it at a later date. I've reached Barry Lyndon now in the first book I have, rather than me actually starting work on Clockwork. For the main Kubrick article I'm planning on something really clean and concise rather than detailed and sub articles in detail.♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:07, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

You're most welcome Peter I. Vardy, it makes a very good GA. There's many in your back log I believe which would pass GA with some minor updating work. Given that we only have a pathetic 374 good articles on architectural pieces in general worldwide, each one counts!♦ Dr. Blofeld 17:03, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
HI Dr. B! Its been over a week since I last heard from you and Im hoping that you decide to come back so we can work with you on any remaining issues the article might have to gain your support. Unlocking your support is all this article needs to achieve featured status now. In the time since we last heard from you, we have been hard at work on the issues that you pointed out and I think many of the issues you had may now be resolved. I have replaced and/or doubled up many HistoryLink citations with a book source and have improved the sourcing in the history section as well other parts of the article. Casliber has done a thorough copyedit and worked with me to get rid of the last of the flab in the prose, taking out introductory and other sentences that dont tell you anything in particular. The Sports section seems done. It doesnt have that ugly table in there and even includes a Googlebook citation, which you introduced me to. The Parks and rec section has been slashed and is comprehensive, yet compact; covering the parks, trails, as well as summer and winter recreation. We have worked so hard on this and we are so close. Lets do this! :)G755648 (talk) 02:23, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

There's a huge number of villages of the same name in Burma like that, so in circumstances coordinates will be needed. It's difficult to know which village is in which district let alone township. Yup, a massive dabbing operation is needed to sort out Burma but long term I believe it'll need to be done eventually.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:04, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Although I was kind of skeptical in the beginning, I think I agree more and more with your idea of restoring the article to its July 2013 version, given the mess they've done in the article. For example: : wrongly named reference (so when one clicks on a, b, or c one is brought always to the 1st mention of the reference, and not to the others); figures mentioned in the sentence not present in the reference; no effort to use proper citation models with { {cite web } }. Unfortunately this is not an isolated case. I can't count the number of grammar mistakes and poor diction either. A typical example of this: . Sections have also been thrown here and there rather haphazardly (for example the "religion" and "tourism" sections, which have been created and moved around several times; another funny example: the article now has a... "Poverty and the homeless" section, lol! I'm waiting for a "Wealth and the rich people" section next). There were some flaws in the July 2013 version, which I wasn't shy to mention on the talk page at the time, but now the article is frankly much more of a mess, and also less professional (unreferenced figures, US-style double spacing, and so on). I've asked User:Future Perfect at Sunrise about some circumscribed RfCs dealing with specific points, but perhaps a more general one is needed. Not sure yet. Der Statistiker (talk) 00:23, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Well, that is a surprise. Admittedly I stopped looking at the article and talk page a while back as I couldn't believe how much of a hash had been made of it. I'd suggest restoring User:Dr. Blofeld/Paris 2 at least, which combines some of the condensing improvements and decent housing and demo additions (although which need sourcing and copyediting improvements) with the relative technical soundness of the July 2013 version. I'm not too keen on the "Human resources" and "Infrastructure" section clustering though and would rather return to original section headers at least. Ultimately multiple editors overediting the same article tends to often make things worse as in this case. The article needs to be relatively stable at least.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:37, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
As if the article wasn't long enough already, it's getting longer and longer: . And again with no effort to properly format the references as you can see. Der Statistiker (talk) 11:22, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
I don't know why he's working on the main article when the sandbox version is going to replace it soon enough. I think it's OK to make it comprehensive first but I do think that during the condensing it's best to split such content into separate articles and file down to cover it generally. A few sentences might be OK, a whole section might be a .bit much♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:31, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear Blofeld, Thank you very much for your efforts to improve the Paris article. I've been consolidating some sections and shortening the history section, and bringing in some of the new material and citations which had been added in recent months. I'll stop for now. Please let me know if you see errors or problems with citations and I'll get them fixed. SiefkinDR (talk) 14:36, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
I've restored to the bibliography some sources that were deleted during the reversion, and updated more citations to the sfn format. As you've probably seen, I've also restored the 18th and 19th century sections of the history, which had a lot of new information and new citations, put them together, and put those citations in the sfn format. I propose next to do the same with the 20th and 21st centuries, to bring in the more recent text and citations and merge them. I'm a little baffled about how you want the cite web citations to be done, I see different formats out there. Can you give me an example of the format that should be used?

Yes, Albo is ok now, thanks, but will wait to nom it in case others at WMNWRITE want to work on it in the next 3 or so days. Lionel Hamilton and Kettering Savoy are ok, too, and I struck the original nom, and added the ALT. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:42, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
Doc, the breakdown for automatic PD is done according to the year the item was done. Anything before 1923 is automatic PD; anything after that requires some proof that it's in the public domain. With the posters, lobby cards and photos that have no copyright marks, they are PD if they were done before 1978. If something was copyrighted, checking to see if the copyright was renewed is what's done. If it wasn't renewed, then it's in the public domain. The magazines at Lantern are PD because their copyrights weren't renewed. Let me check on the film to see if it was renewed or not. We hope (talk) 14:18, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks We hope, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure if anything had changed on later silent films. Seems silly that we can't use a bunch of images from 1926.. BTW can you find an image of Don Terry?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:24, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
Just got started so here's the first one:
How sly :-)!♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:45, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

We strike out here, Doc, because the characters are copyrighted. Look at the Hanna-Barbera photo at Commons File:Bill Hanna Joseph Barbera 1965.jpg and click the link that says "front" to see what the photo originally looked like. I had to remove all the characters. :( There's one for File:Grace Stafford 1958.jpg, the voice of Woody Woodpecker--click the "front" link to see where Woody once was.

OK-I have a couple of postcards of the interior, but nothing for the outside of the building. Will be uploading the interiors later. We hope (talk) 23:35, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
There are two exterior photos at Commons now as well as some interior ones. :) From what I see (but want to re-check it come AM as my eyes are almost ready to fall out), the film wasn't renewed. I can try searching stills in the morning. We hope (talk) 06:13, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
On 26 November 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Benguela Province, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Benguela Province witnessed an influx of many IDPs during the Angolan Civil War? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Benguela Province. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

I try to upload as many lobby cards and posters as I can, even if we don't have an article on the film as yet. Think there are more Border Romance cards out there if you want and we can operate our own "still" for pics. :) Thought he may have been in the card but didn't get a chance to check it. This was before there was an article on Don Terry and I thought it would be nice to have a shot of Armida in her first film. The Duke may have been a "wooden cowboy" in the beginning, but he loosened up later--check this out. File:John Wayne Laugh In 1972.jpg . :) We hope (talk) 15:23, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Nice one We hope!♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:50, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Cheers, you might want to tweak the caption to 1929 instead of 1920 though!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:25, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Niice, how do you convert back to black and white and make it took like a still BTW?♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:44, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
Too bad they were out of business by the time Red got there--I think he would have had a great time at the place! We hope (talk) 20:27, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
@We hope: for sure! Looks like there are 3 other stars in front of the building. I'm trying to find out whose they are. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:59, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

I can have a look and upload anything that turns up PD. We hope (talk) 16:00, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
I didn´t really plan to, but just happened to expand Hadatha (which you started...once upon a time) to meet the DYK-criteria. Feel free to nominate it if you like. I´m still going to expand it a bit more (Dauphin, Thomson). I was just trying to clean up the mess on the Haditha (disambiguation)-places. As you can see from Talk:Hadatha, there have been some serious mess-ups here. Cheers, Huldra (talk) 23:18, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
Huldra, do you have a historical map showing the location? I'd guess it's somewhere near today's Sharona if 12.5 km southwest. Something around 32 43 51 35 28 58 might be a fair guess to start with?♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:43, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
User:Huldra OK, I lined it up with Sharona and the bend in the river to the east and I'd say you'd at least be close with 32 41 17 N 35 28 56 E if you want to add those.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:40, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
My pleasure! Happy to help. Yes, surprised how many redlinks this guy has. Looking at the cast of most of his films, seems I started articles on the majority of the actors several years ago too! Lugnuts Dick Laurent is dead 13:20, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
