Talk:Paxton Whitehead/Archive 1

A Flea in Her Ear has a bug in the ointment.
None of the sources cited for the play "A Flea in Her Ear" mention Whitehead at all, much less in any writer/editor capacity. I had wanted to edit the intro so as to mention his stage writer/director credits, but... The performing arts are not my strong suit, so I will leave this in more capable fingers. 50.64.119.38 (talk) 07:04, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Almost there
Very deep list on what he's done. Impressive. But:

1. In the text it says he played opposite Richard Chamberlain on stage in My Fair Lady. That is true. I saw it in Boston, in whatever year (early 1990s?). (Indeed, Whitehead&mdash;you should add that he played Pickering&mdash;was excellent. As for Chamberlain, my God, he was so superb, I swear, he was better than Rex Harrison in a couple of the singing numbers.) But you omit it in the lists of his works below. Add it.

2. Section Works is superb, except for the first list. It's an abstract listing without a subheading telling us what category you are listing. That is followed by lists properly identified by subheading which do tell you. Consistentize. The abstract list and Stage productions list are the same thing&mdash;plays. What's the distinction? Am I missing something here? If not, nix the ill-formatted abstract list and interfile it in the Stage productions list. OK, so each entry in the abstract list has fantastic detail on each play, and list Stage productions doesn't. Interfile them anyway. People will fill in the details in the un-detailed entries as time goes on.

b) The first, the abstract, list was written by a robot. Every entry starts with the verb "Plays." And it adds the gratuitous word play to every play title&mdash;"She Stoops to Conquer play". It's not even English.  We know you're naming plays.  Don't iterate a word in every entry.  Subheading Stage productions, to which you will move them, gives us that information.  Delete both words in each entry thruout.

That said, rock on.
