Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2014 in British television, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Pennies from Heaven and Van der Valk (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I was unaware that I couldn't use her official Twitter account as a source. Even though it's pretty obvious the Tweet confirms the album title and that she plans to release it this year, I do understand what you mean. She didn't directly state it, she was very cryptic in how she addressed that, which probably didn't help, but I'm sure by tomorrow every website will be reporting on it. Anyways... Thanks for bringing that to my attention! Sorry about that! ---Tsu'tey♫ (talk) 23:56, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

You seem to have a lot of history in editing Wikipedia pages and I do not. Indeed it is true that I have only ever edited Suzannah Lipscomb to add latest facts. This was fine until the argument with the user RedPenOfDoom about her marriage which the subject felt was irrelevant to a page put up by her employer about her professional activities. I am related to the subject so am not independent, but also I am not biased and aim to add only facts. The subject has only said she doesn't want a Wiki page because of the controversy, obviously otherwise she would want one and that is why in the talk about deleting it I said that you should be asked to clean it up. I am therefore writing to you on here to request your input to keeping the page without it constantly being changed. Why for instance I have wondered was reference to her degrees that I replaced last week again removed. Previously links to NCH or her own website have been sufficient proof. Also why should the two most notable awards have been removed. This must be evidence of attack and I wonder how Wiki deal with such things other than removing the page?Thank you.MdeBohun (talk) 08:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

I have now been told that 'there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which I may be involved. Thank you.82.18.156.67 (talk) 19:43, 19 May 2014 (UTC).' I have also looked through all the edits to this page over the past few days and see that there is more than one disruptive contributor, e.g. somebody changed the TV programme about Henry and Anne to Henry and Mabel, the subject's place of birth to Monmouthshire (from Surrey). There are also questions about the subject's nationality, how is that to be proven? I wonder if you can tell me when a decision is likely to be made about whether or not the page is to be kept, and under these circumstances if it is kept how to request that it be locked to avoid such disruption and e.g. notable achievements being removed when with a small effort suitable references could be found, rather than deleting the information. Indeed, you have agreed that her employer is a suitable source, while another removes everything sourced thus, or from her own personal website which has been proof enough in the past. Thank you.MdeBohun (talk) 22:09, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

While working on something else recently, I came upon some broadcasting magazines that tell us how Jo's television show got the axe. It was a CBS decision, apparently based on their notion that her timeslot could be filled by another program which would bring the network more money. Jo's sponsor, the Gold Seal Company, was basically told that CBS would not be airing the show and that they should pick another one on the network to sponsor. The controversy made it to the US House antitrust subcommittee United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform, Commercial and Antitrust Law.
The president of the network at that time, Frank Stanton, basically filled the role of the "enforcer" of whatever Paley thought. The network could hardly use the McCarthyism of the time to say she had ties with Communism, given her work at Voice of America and the many, many appearances at various military camps. (Stanton, BTW, is the one who "brainstormed" with Arthur Godfrey for a way to fire Julius LaRosa when Godfrey was angry with his show of independence.) ;)
Let me add some links to the magazines here so you can see how it was:
The sponsor's complaint went to that particular US House subcommittee because radio and television stations in the US are supposed to be using their frequencies for the good of the public and not only as a means to generate profit for the network, etc. Those who operate on a frequency are not "owners" of it, but "renters", so to speak. If it's proven that they are not operating in the public's best interest, the FCC is able to take their license to operate from them and assign it to someone else, if things had gone that badly. It does appear that CBS had an idea that they'd make more money by having some other program in the time slot, so neither Jo nor her sponsor's money seemed to be of major concern. Can't say I blame her for not getting involved in a regular television show done in the US after this. Would like your thoughts about getting this into her article and the article on the program.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could advise me. An anonymous ip, 82.35.64.69 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) keeps adding unsourced random pieces of information to articles about years in British television, often without fully explaining their significance. An example might be "Gray O'Brien is to leave Coronation Street later this year", which doesn't fully explain who he is or why we need to know he's leaving the series. I've been taking the time to track down sources for this stuff and discovered sometimes that it's inaccurate so have been making corrections, but it's been going on for a while now, and is getting a bit monotonous. I've asked very nicely on several occasions if they could provide sources for the entries as they're obviously finding it from somewhere, but never get a response other than to see the appearance of another random entry later the same day or the next day. I've resorted to issuing user warnings for unsourced editing after several attempts to communicate with this user, and deleting the material. Am I doing the right thing? I don't want to get into a slow edit war with them. Thanks. This is Paul (talk) 17:21, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

A few minutes ago, I read your post in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio about the American Radio History site. I have been using The ARH site, and I posted a comment under yours.
As I did that, I had a thought, and I'm interested in your reaction. What would you think of creating a list of useful online resources related to radio and posting it as part of the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Radio page? I have found several that I use regularly as I do research for Wikipedia articles related to old-time radio. I will be glad to post those for other people to use as needed. Perhaps others would add resources that have helped them. I'm still relatively new to Wikipedia, so I wanted your feedback before proceeding. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:45, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Know you've written quite a few articles on them. Was just thinking about one that's more than 40 years old, but gets your mind working, even though it will never be solved, it seems. See if you can look inside thie book at Amazon if you sign in Blood and Money by Thomas Thompson. This is the story of the death of Houston socialite Joan Robinson Hill, who was a noted horsewoman. Her father, Ash Robinson, made his money in Texas oil. She was her parents' only child (adopted) and wanted for nothing.
After at least 2 hasty marriages that ended in divorce, Joan Robinson fell in love with an up-and-coming plastic surgeon in the area named John Hill. Hill was an accomplished musician. The two had nothing in common-Hill wasn't interested in horses and Joan wasn't serious about music. Joan's father bought them a large mansion in the River Oaks section of Houston, where Hill turned a section of the house into a music room that was fit for professional performances and recording. Though the couple had a son, marital problems set in and Hill became interested in other women. They separated for a while with Hill deciding to reconcile with Joan after a time.
Not long after the reconciliation, Joan became suddenly ill. Her husband treated her at home but instead of improving, she quickly became worse. When Hill was finally willing to admit her to a hospital, she was taken to a relatively small one on the outskirts of Houston, instead of to any number of well-respected hospitals in the city. Shortly after her admission, Joan died. According to law, an autopsy was mandatory, since she had been an inpatient for a short length of time. Through one mistake or another, the funeral home was not notified of the need for an autopsy until after her body was embalmed.
Hill inherited the home from his wife, and not long after her wake and burial, he married the woman he had been seeing while he was still married to Joan. The marriage lasted only a short time, as the second wife claimed he confessed to her that he had killed Joan and said he tried to kill her too. She testified to this at Hill's murder trial, which didn't end in a conviction. He then married for the third time, to a woman who shared his interest in music. During this time, Joan's father, Ash Robinson, became convinced that his former son-in-law killed Joan. Robinson managed to stir up enough legal commotion for a re-trial to be held for Hill.
Before the re-trial began, Hill and his wife went out of town. Shortly before they returned home, an armed intruder forced his way into the house, holding Hlll's mother and his son hostage. The armed man claimed he was there for robbery and would wait for the doctor and his wife to come home. When the couple arrived and entered the house, the armed man killed Hill when he came in the door. The talk was that Ash Robinson had bought a hit on his former son-in-law to get even for his killing Joan. Robinson was eventually put on trial for the killing of Hill.
The second wife (now deceased also) wrote a book called Prescription Murder which was her account of what had happened. This book and the Thompson one were used for the script of the 1981 made for television movie Murder in Texas. Had a copy of the Thompson book some time ago and you couldn't put it down. Searching on Joan Robinson Hill locates various stories about her as a horsewoman, her death, the trial and so forth. We hope (talk) 23:39, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
Quite a bit of what's here is very much like Blood and Money. It may have been used in the book with permission from Thomas Thompson. Note that this book calls Joan's mother Olive--her name was Rhea Olive Robinson. We hope (talk) 21:58, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Noodling the keyboard at Google News Archive found that The Palm Beach Post serialized the book in 1977. Most of the sections are here--problem is that there's no first section (no paper in the archive for the date).
Not bad, eh? :) We hope (talk) 00:43, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
This copy of The San Francisco Chronicle is the only news story I've been able to find that positively identifies the person as the "right" Ann Kurth. I can get the basic details from FamilySearch's Texas Death Index, but that doesn't include the information that the Ann Kurth listed there is the one we want details about. Can we use this transcript? We hope (talk) 03:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Never read Kurth's book, but the television movie, Murder in Texas was heavily based on it. Would believe that Kurth's thought was that Hill had plenty he wanted to escape and that a claim he was dead would put a stop to the publicity, and so on. Kurth (and later Ash Robinson) claimed that Hill was responsible for his brother's death. He died circa 1963 of an overdose of barbituates, which, from what I've read, was his "solution" to his unhappy life. IMHO, John Hill would have had to be a serial killer to have started murdering like that. His brother is said to have been gay and this, supposedly, was the motive for John Hill's "killing" him--to keep this news from the public. We hope (talk) 13:43, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Got my e-mail but had an issue with getting the confirmation e-mail from newspapers.com. I think you use outlook.com for your wiki mail as I do. The mail from newspapers.com wasn't put in the junk folder--it just never arrived in my mailbox, period. I went into my outlook account and added the domain newspapers.com as a trusted sender--got the e-mail without a hitch after that and got the registration completed. (In case you have the same type of trouble.) We hope (talk) 00:30, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
I was trying to hold off somewhat re: material sourced from the book because there are 3 versions of it--the hardbound, a paperback printed not long after the hardbound one and a reprint of the paperback by a different publishing company in 2001. Didn't know which one you were getting, but thought it might make for the need to change page numbers on what we've already done.
I started some notes in my sandbox, so feel free to have a look or use them. Have done some clipping at newspapers.com for old material from Edcouch for John Hill, and so on--not sure I can list it for you at one link. The my clippings link appears to just apply to me viewing what I've done. Also have some on Chatsworth Farm, the horse farm Ash bought for Joan, and some old horse show news stories re: Joan. Don't worry, we'll get there! :) We hope (talk) 20:41, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

Hope you don't think I bailed out on Joan Robinson Hill. Since I have to view the book at Amazon and there's a limit re: how much one can see, I want to be able to verify what I remember of the book with cites. We need to do something with John Hill and his background as well as a bit of background on her parents. I have quite a few clippings at Newspapers.com for Hill's early and college years.
Also ran into another (surprise) source for British television. Was looking something up at Lantern and found that Motion Picture Daily carried stories on television in both the US and UK circa 1940s-1950s (at least). Something like Billboard's early US television sections, am guessing. You search Lantern here. There's also quite a bit there on British films, if you want or need that too.

I think the Thompson block quote is great! :) We hope (talk) 21:32, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
Take a look at this. It's a summary of testimony in Lilla Paulus' appeal in 1981. A lot of citable stuff here. ;) No word yet on the music room photo. We hope (talk) 14:33, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Bad news--the quote is too long and the photo won't work. :(( We hope (talk) 19:16, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
Here's what I came up with to replace the direct quote--see what you think: We hope (talk) 19:44, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
It became a ballroom-sized room with a double-height ceiling full of Renaissance-type frescoes and where Baccarat crystal chandeliers were hung. The carved marble fireplace was taken from an old Louisiana plantation home. Hill chose parquet flooring and a gold and white color scheme for the entire room. The pianos were placed at one end, and at the other, were French provincial sofas cushioned by an oriental carpet. The gold and white silk wall panels concealed shelves for records, music-related books and Hill's musical instruments which could only be opened by secret touch. Hill had 108 speakers installed in the room which were connected with four miles worth of wiring. He spent more than $20,000 on just the sound system for the music room. Hill also added a hidden movie screen as his collection of comedy films was also hidden behind one of the silk wall panels.
Added the part about the movie screen because Diane Settegast testified that he was watching Laurel & Hardy films the evening before Joan's funeral. It was suggested that he was trying to entertain Robert and a playmate with the films, We hope (talk) 20:16, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
No idea when this came out but know that Paul and Jo both worked on this and we don't have anything on it. We hope (talk) 21:23, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
There are at least 6 of these volumes and Paul and Jo appear to be on them all--can't find volume 1 so far.

This is where Jo's quoted as saying the show was taken off the air because Mercer "sounded too black".
An old friend--we know his writing from what he'd written about Jo and Paul. Looks like quite a bit of qoutes re: Mercer from Jo.
This is from February of this year, has what appears to be quite a bit about Paul (which may have come from right here for all we know). It's only available in e-book form and has a $180.00 price tag We hope (talk) 23:22, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Have just sent e-mail to the realtor asking for the PD release of the music room photo. Wanted to get that done this week because everything will be at a standstill September 1--Labor Day in the US. We hope (talk) 18:46, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Paul, do you see anything in the book about this? "The district Attorneys office, learning about the autopsy snafu, sent the county medical examiner to the funeral with orders to stop it if needed. Dr Jachimczyk didnt see the need. Joan was buried early afternoon on the 21st. Dr. Jachimczyk learned the urine and blood samples were still available at the hospital. Dr. Morse provided several tissue samples, but not much else."
How about this from the Amazon online copy of the book? "Page 37 … riding costume in exactly the same shade as Belinda—a lustrous pe… Page 55 …appearance, Joan dressed a final time in the gray riding costume t…" Joan had a riding habit made in the exact shade as Beloved Belinda which she wore at shows.

Another one-read that while Hill was willing to take the sodium pentothal exam, he was not willing to take a polygraph. Ann Kurth claimed that he had self-medicated with something prior to the test that would counter the effects of the sodium pentothal. We hope (talk) 04:03, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
You're right--this is part 1 ! :) We hope (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
Snippet view-monopoly hearings "tember 1955, Jo Stafford should go off the air, Gold Seal no longer should sponsor that show." Millions of our consumers who bought our products in response to Jo Stafford's nice program were somewhat lost for an expression or a possibility ..."

At present, I'm chasing a bunch of old comic strip files. Ran into some that were in great shape and were before 1923, so I started uploading them to Commons yesterday. When I came to check out something last night, I found that there were a great many that are actually public domain--before 1923--were uploaded years ago and were sitting here with non-free licenses. Some were reduced so much, they were impossible to read. Couldn't have read the dating if I hadn't found larger copies of them elsewhere. So am now trying to see what may be able to be re-licensed as PD. We hope (talk) 19:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I have nominated the article for a possible feature at the TFA section. Take a look at the nom. Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/Murder of Joanna Yeates Thanks.--BabbaQ (talk) 00:00, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
