Moviefan Contribs edit

I deleted the edits by User MovieFan because most of them were inaccurate in light of the latest research. For example: Peg Entwsitle was never in "bit parts" or a "handful of films." Extensive research for her biography, which included weeks of reviewing original RKO office memos, contracts, and payroll records concerning Entwistle, support her having a role in just one film.

Moreover, the claim regarding Entwistle's Los Angeles play "The Mad Hopes" in the newspaper item sourced by MovieFan is completely spurious. Contrary to this source, the play, a pre-Broadway tryout, was a rousing success in San Diego and Los Angeles during its several-weeks' run. My research discovered many reviews and theatrical periodicals containg nothing but praise for the play and players. The MovieFan source contained, "but nothing came of it," in regard to a context insinuating that Peg hadn't got the part. In fact, the premiere of this play at the Belasco was a Red Carpet event on the scale of a Hollywood film premiere!

The contribs by MovieFan with regard the divorce of Entwistle and Robert Keith are only partly accurate, taken from news accounts whereas the official and complete court testimony by Peg Entwistle--which I have in my posession--does not entirely reflect MovieFan's edit. The "hair pulling" account is in fact reflected in the official court document, but does this information actually improve the Wiki?

There is more I can discuss, however, I wish to make it clear that I do not want to discourage MovieFan, or anyone else, from contributing to Peg Entwistle's Wiki. God knows the wars that have been waged in the past regarding it! But I simply found it easier to Undo the MovieFan contribs in their entirety in the hopes that MovieFan, or anyone else, would discuss the content.

Honestly, while I'm very pleased that Peg Entwistle has so many fans, I think her Wiki should be left as is. Using the old sources, such as tabloids and newspapers is a tricky affair with many red herrings. It's best, I believe, to leave the Entwistle page alone.

I'll ignore the offensive tone of the message for which I blocked you and look at two points within it. First, you say that File:Pegentwistle.jpg should be removed, because it's your work. No, that's something you should have thought of before you contributed it to WM Commons. Secondly, you seem to say that because an article was hugely better after you worked on it than it had been before, the article should not be changed later by somebody else. No, you misunderstand how WP works (and how it is clearly described as working). Changes are judged on their merits. -- Hoary (talk) 14:52, 20 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
