Unsourced Anthony Rapp article addition
Just in terms of removing the unsourced line in the Anthony Rapp article... fair enough, I was just being lazy and should have referenced it properly. I'll find the reference for it and put it back in at some point. All good Doniago! Deathlibrarian (talk) 07:38, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Deathlibrarian:Thanks for the heads-up! Just as an FYI, new Talk threads should generally be placed at the bottom of the page. Cheers! DonIago (talk) 17:43, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Stephen Fry edit
Hello, You removed my edit to Stephen Fry's Personal Life. I believed that he would want his husband at the top of this section, not that he is on civil terms with Prince Charles as has been known for years. So, having checked lots of online sites to see if they were still married - no reports to the contrary - I merely stated that he married his husband Elliott Spencer, and the date on which they were wed.
This information is stated as an intention lower down on Stephen's page, under Sexuality, and then as a fact.
Yet no heterosexual person's marriage is ignored under Personal Life, but listed under Sexuality.
So I felt it should be listed where every other famous person's marriage is noted - under Personal Life.
Isn't the removal of this edit therefore (I hope unintentionally) homophobic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skylark84 (talk • contribs) 16:27, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
- If the information is stated and cited lower down, then I question whether it needs to be reiterated. If you feel it does, you're welcome to reinsert the information with the appropriate reference.
- BTW, given that I am myself homosexual, suggesting that my edit was homophobic is rather humorous. DonIago (talk) 17:04, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Brewster
- From Associated Press AP December 16, 2016 : NEW YORK (AP) — When the pop singer Laura Branigan died, The Associated Press, relying on information from her management company, reported in an obituary on Aug. 28, 2004, that she was 47 and had been born on July 3, 1957. Branigan was born July 3, 1952, and grew up in Armonk, N.Y. Testimonials from childhood friends all indicate she was born in 1952. She is also best described as having grown up in Armonk, not Brewster, as the AP's original obituary said." AP's correction of Laura Branigan's obituary. Born 1952. No Brewster! Is AP lying in their correction? When did Branigan's lived in Brewster? You know the address? This article from 1954 shows Branigan family living in Armonk. Branigans in 1954. Living in Armonk Doniago..I hope you are willing to discuss Laura's timeline and biography with me. So don't run away like a coward. Take the discussion and show me your knowledge about Laura Branigan. I am really looking forward to discuss this with you. I am ready. Are you? After this is over and you have done your homework, you will understand that you must undo your stupid mistake. Ok, lets go, I am waiting for your answer. Btw, one more thing. I have in my Laura collection her ssn-application from 1970, which she needed when she began at the drama school in New York 1970. It says born July 3, 1952. Would you like to see it? Not yet, maybe later. Remember, don't be a coward. Answer and I will answer you. OK? --Born53 swe (talk) 23:41, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
- Any interest I might have had in discussing the matter dissipated when you failed to assume good faith, referring to my "stupid mistake". Thanks for that. You're welcome to provide a reliable source, which it seems you may have, and update the information accordingly. And a very happy holidays to you too. DonIago (talk) 23:57, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

- I found the same wiki in the new wiki where I am a master editor. I have deleted Laura from Brewster in my wiki, so how wikipedia acts is not my business. So it is OK when you undo my corrections. The main thing is our wiki is correct, reliable and trustful. You see, our intention is to replace Laura's wrong wikis with our new, corrected and much more reliable than wikipedia. And so far it looks good. So, sadly you will miss all my proofs. But I think you can be proud over that you have been in contact with the best Laura researcher that the world has right now. You see, Laura's lousy fansites are miles, light years behind me. The best and the only one --Born53 swe (talk) 19:25, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

Kasper Mützenmacher's Cursed Hat
Hi, Doniago. I'm new to the Wikipedia editing process, so forgive me if I'm not as savvy with the rules. You recently removed a neutral, one sentence description of my above-titled novel from the Greek Mythology in Popular Culture page, under the "In Literature" subsection. The edit stated, without embellishment or puffery, that in the novel a family of Jewish hat makers must use Hermes' "wishing hat" to teleport out of Germany to escape Kristallnacht. You indicated that this edit violates the rule against self-promotion. That rule, however, only prohibits self-interested edits when they do not maintain a neutral point of view and contain overly abundant links, neither of which were true of my edit. Please reconsider your removal of this edit or provide a more persuasive justification. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kfentonmiller (talk • contribs) 15:55, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- I do think it's promotional to post a link to a book that you wrote, even if it is neutrally-described, though it might be worth raising that question at the article's Talk page, where other editors could chime in as well. However, I would also recommend that you review WP:IPCV. In short, when adding an "in popular culture" list-type item, the consensus is that you should provide a reliable source that discusses the item as a way of establishing that it not just exists but is considered significant in some manner. My shorthand for this has been that we need to establish not just that a tree fell in the woods, but that someone heard it fall. Hope this helps! DonIago (talk) 16:38, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Hi again. This is very helpful. I'll wait until my book gets reviewed by or reported in a reliable, third-party source, and then try this again. Best, Keith — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kfentonmiller (talk • contribs) 18:29, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
- You're welcome! Thank you for feeling you could come to me with your concerns, and for expressing them civilly and clearly. Best of luck getting coverage for your book, and I hope you're having a very happy holidays! DonIago (talk) 20:33, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
Hairspray (2007 film)
The original purpose of my edit was to wikilink the songs in all the Hairspray musical articles to the articles on those songs where they exist. (I made similar edits to the stage musical, its cast recording, and the live TV version.) I express no opinion as to how decades should be written; I simply followed the title of the song article to avoid a redlink. If the song article's title needs to be changed to fit the MoS, I have no objection; I already had to change one song article's disambig from "(song from Hairspray)" to "(Hairspray song)" for much the same reason. --RBBrittain (talk) 01:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Do you think it's worth raising as a concern? I did a Google check and it seems the apostrophe falls in what I'd consider the wrong place in a large number of cases. DonIago (talk) 06:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

ghost ship reverted
Hi Donialo. firstly i am a security guard who lives in Auckland, New Zealand. I was stationed at he South Gate overviewing where ocean liners berthed at Queens Wharf next to the Number 10 customs building. I have made photos from the same ocean liners and apparantly many millions of other people visiting our country have photos to verify. considering that Karl Urban lives in Auckland makestravel for him a lot easier. Ports of Auckland, or more specifically Auckland City would have had to give permission in writing if any movies were to photograph the place. The building hasnt changed that much. Why they were left out of the credits is anitger mystery. Maybe Tourism NZ didnt want to be associated with an indie low budget remake. Shot themselves in the foot there. remember it was a low budget film that radically changed the script. So putting on an exotic island is highly unlikely. Chances are good that the farshot of the oceanliner was likely done from a ferry overlooking Waitamate Harbour. 2001/2 was the time of LOTR. Touridm NZ was really working hard to sell NZ internationally. This opened up a whole new reality to get ppl to flock to NZ in droves. Ghost Ship likely got taken out if the loop. Its pretenscious to think otherwise with a blockbuster vs low budget. Anyway, they had Australia. Testimony of a local with a voice. You cant beat that. Rvrevo (talk) 22:01, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Perhaps it can't be beaten, but Wikipedia requires that all material be published in reliable sources. Sorry for the delay, I was out of town for several days. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 20:29, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
