Talk:Elissa Landi

film of the same name
Paragraph about Cecil B. DeMille's 1932 "film of the same name" doesn't mention the title. It was "The Sign of the Cross". First paragraph refers to Landi's "alleged aristocratic bearing". "Alleged" is a bit harsh, no? Or do the commissars of culture rule here too? 47.232.145.208 (talk) 20:59, 5 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's Wikipedia after all. 2A02:AA1:1026:D748:C0CC:22C5:1F07:18A (talk) 21:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

First name
I have changed "Elisabeth" to "Elizabeth" in the infobox and text. The cited source has "Elizabeth". We need to keep that spelling until someone can provide a better source for the other spelling. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:37, 20 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Greetings, Mr. Blick. It seems that my followup edit has been reverted, accompanied by a very puzzling edit summary indeed—i.e. "I fail to see how that affects file names." Am I missing something? Did either your edit/explanation or my followup concern "file names"? (Or, more to the point, this particular file's name?) Not that I'm aware of. Anyway, I was poised to simply to copy the article as I'd left it and paste it in a new edit—rather than literally "undo" the revert—accompanied by a painstakingly constructed, full-to-bursting edit summary of my own (making particular note of the fact that you had, in effect, thanked me for replacing your now-restored version), when it occurred to me that you, as the "restored' editor, might be better positioned to perform such an edit—whether via literal or de facto "undo" (and accompanied by whatever degree of explanation you deem necessary)—w/o risk of inciting any semblance of edit war. Just a thought. Either way, let me know and I'll proceed accordingly. DavidESpeed (talk) 18:38, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for alerting me to that edit, @DavidESpeed. I have reverted that change with an edit summary referring to this talk page.
 * Like you, I don't understand the edit summary's mention of file names. My previous edit concerned the spelling of the subject's first name, which another editor had changed, putting "Fixed typo" in the related edit summary. The point of my edit was that the one source then cited for her birth name has "Elizabeth", indicating that it was not a typo. Your edit, in turn, provided a number of sources for "Elisabeth", and I appreciate your finding so much support for that spelling.
 * Editor might want to comment here on the reference to file names and why your edit was reverted. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:47, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

The edit summary "Birth name as per plethora of sources" does not explain why you removed the dates from the file name. Doing so prevents it from displaying, and a chunk of file name is not a birth name anyway. The dates are also not either spelling of her name, and so adding references re: spelling still would not explain removing them.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 01:31, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep,, I just noticed that, myself, as I revisited that edit. Completely accidental; don't know how I managed to do that. I was just returning to acknowledge that brain cramp on my part and to explain to Eddie Blick that this was the file to which you were referring, rather than the article itself. I'm very sorry for the confusion.  DavidESpeed (talk) 02:29, 22 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Ok. Glad to have that cleared up.  -  Sumanuil  .  (talk to me) 02:35, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
