Welcome![edit]
Hi Mwvandersteen! I saw nobody ever welcomed you, even though you have been around since 2006 and have made quite some edits. I noticed you when I saw this edit to the article Fitna (film). I would like to say that edits like that are very valuable to Wikipedia, as they help keeping the articles neutral. Much thanks, and keep editing! Your help is appreciated!

It seems to me that in articles like this one, it's very important to read very carefully. I don't think the person who wrote that line tried to accuse the government of anything - sometimes people misinterpret or mis-translate things they read. Some muslims do (Here's an interesting article: www.guardian.co.uk/religion/Story/0,2763,631357,00.html). And Geert Wilders probably as well. Thank you for the warm welcome. 20:33, 17 March 2008
April 2010[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in List of Case Closed episodes (season 1), makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Manga Chapters to anime episodes are not allowed an considered Original Research.

List of Disney animated shorts[edit]
Regarding this change, I'm curious if you have a source for this specific 1921 date. I note that Disneyshorts.org notes that the first shorts were from 1922. If you have a good source for this info you should probably also edit Laugh-O-Gram Studio to include this info. Thanks. --Mepolypse (talk) 23:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Mepolypse, thanks for the quick reaction. It's important to realise that there are two series of Laugh-O-Grams: seven fairy-tales + Tommy Tucker's Tooth, all produced in 1922 after Walt had started his own Laugh-O-Gram Studio, and several one minute shorts, produced in 1920-1921. A sample reel of four of these, first shown in 1921, still exists and can be seen on Youtube under the title 'various Newman Laugh-O-Grams'. I didn't have to change anything in the article Laugh-O-Gram Studio: all the films are mentioned under Filmography and all release years are already correct. You can find several sources for the March 20 date when you search through Google for: disney march 20 1921. Also, one of the earliest comments for the Youtube video mentions the same date. If you prefer a book, you can go to Google Books, search for The Animated Man : a Life of Walt Disney by Michael Barrier and read page 29. Mwvandersteen (talk) 22:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying. The actual title seems to be Newman Laugh-O-Grams, as that is what's written on the title card. I'll go ahead and change the "series" info in List of Disney animated shorts to Newman Laugh-O-Grams to clarify. We should also expand Laugh-O-Grams#Filmography with this date info, with for example that last book as a reference. --Mepolypse (talk) 22:41, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- I've added a hyphen to the word Clean-up in Kansas City's Clean-up and corrected the title of the third film as well. By the way, can you read the small writing under Kansas City Girls Are Rolling Their Own Now? I'm pretty sure it says (As seen on ..... Lane) but I can't figure out the fourth word.

- Looks good. I slightly tweaked the capitalization (per WP:CAPS) and use of apostrophe (per WP:PUNC). I think the small print says "(As Seen on Petticoat Lane)", probably referring to Petticoat Lane Market. I guess it's unclear which part of the text on these title cards should be considered the title. Including the entire text on each title card would yield rather unwieldly titles, so it's possibly best to only include the first part as we do now. I think we should expand Laugh-O-Gram Studio#Filmography, to begin with a paragraph about the films themselves (include info about the different segments of Newman Laugh-O-Grams), before going on to the existing paragraphs about how they were discovered and the DVD releases. --Mepolypse (talk) 14:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
