Hello
I'm glad you appreciated my expansion of Doctor Zhivago. Thanks for taking the time to write! LiteraryMaven (talk • contrib) 14:46, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Friends
"WHE wants all your money", lol that's exactly what I was thinking. Also, thanks for fixing my mistake. I just assumed it was another anon. trying to mess up the synopsis.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   11:33, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well the funny thing is that people are still buying the DVDs, even though as you pointed out they're mostly the same thing with different packaging. I guess you'll have to wait another couple years for the widescreen remaster, at least until they've milked the extended editions for everything they've got. Oh, and if they're taking so long to release the DVDs over there (in the UK?), imagine how long it will take until Australia sees them...  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   12:11, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, they were quickly released after electricity was introduced here last year.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   06:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

The Deal
Yes the main cast is spoke of but there are several important historical characters not listed so it is good to show the cast and leave the casting as well to tell how they came to be cast. If you actually read the casting section you will see that they only mention 3 actors who are in the movie. I happen to own this film on DVD and it says on the case runtime of 84 minutes.
 * Yes I am in America which might explain te difference in region and time. So I won't argue that if you feel it should remain at 76 minutes. But the cast is important for people who want to know what historical figures were involved in the agreement between Brown and Blair and were present at these important political changes in the UK.
 * What is your deal. I even tried to make it a seperate category to please you which I don't even have to do. So the actors names are briefly mentioned as being in the film it still does not say who the historical characters are that they portrayed. You got a problem man take a chill pill and quit acting like you own the page. It is relevant info that people who are into the history would like to know without having to investigate to find out.

Wallander: Series 2
Thanks for letting me know about the third director. As you say, he Andy Wilson seems to play in a different division when compared to the other directors. I saw Marple: They Do It with Mirrors on TV here in the US, barely 10 days ago. Not bad for being Ms. Marple. Have you heard anything about any actors for the new series? I read that US actor Danny Glover was filming in nearby Malmö during June, and this (together with the Swedish Wallander films) resulted in a shortage in film and production crew for the BBC series. Swedish director Tomas Alfredson, who has had an international success with his "Let The Right one in" will make another adoption of John Le Carre’s cold war novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, based on a scrip by Peter Morgan. If you hear stumble upon any news about this film, can send me a link as I am thinking about starting a Wikepedia page for this film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by VsanoJ (talk • contribs) 13:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the info about Tom McCall. Speaking of Tinker Tailor..., I read something very interesting on a Swedish newspaper site how Daniel Alfredson wanted to do a big English language project, but REALLY did not like the offers various Hollywood studios offered him. Then Working Title offended him this project. If you have seen Let The Right One In you know Alfredsson has a very interesting visual style. His lesser known Swedish films all have striking cinematography. Alfredsson is supposed to adopt another book by Johan Ajvide Lindqvist (novelist behind Let the Right One In), so I guess Tinker Tailor... comes after that film.VsanoJ (talk) 14:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that Yello Bird and BBC will host a Q & A session for selected journalists at the end of next month. So there should be plenty of new info then.VsanoJ (talk) 18:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

I look forward reading your article about the books.VsanoJ (talk) 19:16, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I just made a bunch of uppdates. Two about scenes that was shot this week. (If you go to the source link of the Expressen story you see a quite funny picture of Kenneth Branagh streching before the scene). There were also some interesting numbers about Ystad, tourism and the BBC series. If you think any edites are needed, pleaseBold text feel free to do so. I personally think I could not get the part about the old car repair shop to "flow". I read between the lines and from what I could get I think they were trying to say that Mankell had "used" this location in the book and with it now being empty (and owned by an artist couple trying to figure out what the heck to do with this empty building) the film team thought it was logical to film there. VsanoJ (talk) 19:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry for not answering until now, I have been on vaccation. I think writing Wikipedia pages for all Mankell's Wallander films could be an almost herculean task. Maybe an option would be to beef up the page on Swedish Wallander films and/or spit it into a SVT page and a TV4/Yellowbird page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by VsanoJ (talk • contribs) 14:19, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Having the films that were released theatrically sounds like a good idea!! I think it could be hard to find source and referense texts for the other Mankell's Wallander films. From what I can read on the web, it seems they did quite well in the UK for a program on BBC 4, is that so?

One interesting thing about the SVT Wallander films. Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård who is becomming quite poppular here in the US thanks to cult HBO show True Blood portrays the young Kurt Wallander in the Pyramid. VsanoJ (talk) 17:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Another actor in Series 2. I cannot remember a Jamal in the book, do you? http://unitedagents.co.uk/film/arsher-ali/

VsanoJ (talk) 18:57, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if he would be a replacement for Blomman (or Blomanski, I think his real name was, the policeman of Polish decent). The way I saw it was that Mankell icluded "Blomman" to have an officer who had a different background then the other officers. Maybe they changed to an officer of south-asian origin to make this more obvious? It is an interestig choice, as south-asians isn't a typical immigration group in Sweden. I am geeting VERY curious now!! VsanoJ (talk) 21:06, 16 September 2009 (UTC)


 * May I ask if you speak Swedish or if you are using a translation program? Just qurious. VsanoJ (talk) 16:36, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Google Translate works VERY well over all, I have to say. However, and I say this while being a bit reluctant, I think there is an improvement that can be made in regars to Daniel Ahlqvist comments. I really do not want to step on your toes. I read it as he is saying that future Wallaner films from BBC can be based on new story synopses in the same manner as the Swedish Yellow Bird films. (I also think he is being vauge on purpose though.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by VsanoJ (talk • contribs) 23:28, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I just added some stuff about the directors and photographers. Please feel free to take it of or re-write it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by VsanoJ (talk • contribs) 19:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the radio link. Very, very interesting. If you come across other stuff like that, please pass them on to me. A lot of interesting stuff. Glad to hear that a third series is a posibility. Since Mankell seems to be very interested in TV right now, I do not doubt that he would be more then willing to write a new story synopsis or maybe even a brand new screen play. (But that is just me guessing)Being Swedish and living abroad, it is quite interesting to hear non-Swedes take on the people in our country. VsanoJ (talk) 15:58, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

As you probably have seen, I added some stuff today and last week about some Swedish actors who has featured in both BBC's Wallander and the two different Swedish langiage series. I personally think this is quite neat/interesting/funny, but how interesting is this to the rest of the world? I have not seen the Wallander series 2 so I do not know how big roles they have, I am assuming rather small ones though. Fredrik Gunnarsson has an important role in the Mankell's Wallander series of films so that he is featured in Sweies 2 is very interesting. Well known Swedish actor and former theatre director Roland Hedlund stared as Gustaf Torstensson in Yhe Man Who Similed that was broadcast in the UK yesterday. He lives in northern Sweden so I am really qurious to see how much he was featured. Most Swedish actors used in the BBC films has been unknown local Skane actors. This is what Hedlund looks like: http://norran.se/noje/article96245.ece How much was he and Fredrik Gunnarson on screen? VsanoJ (talk) 15:33, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

That does not sound good. How are the ratings? I wonder if the short pre-production stage affected the quality? I know Yellow Bird were set on ONLY focusing on the Swedish language films this summer. Richard Cottan must have written the scripts a whole lot faster this time around. I wonder if he was still writing The Fifth Woman while they were filming The Faceless Killers? VsanoJ (talk) 16:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I e-mailed Daniel Ahlqvist with Yellow Bird about the Guardian claim of a series three, and as you said, no recomission...but he hopes there will be a third series. VsanoJ (talk) 20:34, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

One of the main guys at Yellow Bird did a quick interview on lokal radio about future series (he corrected himself and used the plural form of the word). Did I source it OK? The web page has a small text and a link to the interview, and this sound link has much better info. VsanoJ (talk) 19:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Re: Superbowl
Thanks! How did you know I was working on it? :P Anyway, User:ThinkBlue and I decided not to include the Diet Coke information because it isn't really related to this particular episode. I think it would fit better in the article for season two (if that ever gets created).  The left orium  16:31, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I started on Friends (season 1) but I never got around to finishing it. I'll put it on my (very long) to-do list... ;)  The left orium  16:43, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Flickr
Are you looking for a particular person/image? I send out multiple requests a week and have a pretty good success rate, so if you would like an image, let me know and I can try and get one for you. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 23:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I sent requests for the first three images listed. The other image is by the same author that I sent a request for a separate image a few days ago, so I'll wait to see if he allows permission for that image first. I'll keep you posted if I get permission for any of them. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 02:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I have uploaded the images and added them to their respective articles. Feel free to adjust them as you see fit. If you have any other requests, let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 00:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say it's best to wait, sometimes (though rarely) additional clarification is needed. OTRS make take a few weeks as well since they're backlogged, especially with all of the requests I put in (I know I'm a hated contributor...). However, I finally signed up as a volunteer so hopefully I can help tackle the backlog and speed up the process. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 01:35, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Aussie question
Ooh, that's going to be a tough one, but it really depends on which show you are trying to find ratings for. To find some of the latest ratings, this year and last, you could use. It's a blog, but it's still reliable for ratings. If you didn't already know, Australia uses the OzTAM ratings system, but really I don't know how to access archives from the site. Sorry I couldn't be much more help.  Corn.u. co.pia  •  Disc.u s.sion   07:10, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The publication "Crikey" also publishes them on a daily basis. If you like, I can ask a colleague who works in the industry - it may well be we can get a figure from a private source which becomes a search term for public sources which we can then cite. What show was it? Orderinchaos 16:15, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can get. I think but am not sure that at that time the Nielsen ratings were the main ones in Australia. Orderinchaos 03:27, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Awards box discussion
Hi. There is currently a discussion here regarding the use of navbox awards templates for Razzie Awards that partly includes the "Worst Picture" template related to WP:FILM. Your comments are very welcome. (P.S. Please note I am not canvassing. There seems to be a lot of regular contributors currently absent from Wikipedia and all comments are needed.) Thanks.

Filmography table colors
Hi, what don't you fancy about the colors on the Filmography tables (here?   I was told the colors look find, as long as  it's not too dark and hard to read.   Would you like to suggest some  more colors?  Thanks -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 18:12, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I didn't take offense. I thought "skittlepedia" was actually funny. lol Well I have did quite a few tables with that same color format (however, I will go back and change them all to the correct format soon -- I should have checked in on that page for policy).  I have a question that's not covered here -- should Film/Television be put within the same code (like Tobin Bell, or like Sarah Chalke has it?  Or does it matter?  Thanks.  -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 00:59, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. One more thing, shouldn't all film/TV dates not be linked (2009)?  Someone told me while paroling pages, to look out for that -- and I agree, it does look tacky.  -- Mike Allen talk · contribs 16:56, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Liberals and Liberal Democrats
Re this edit, the book is about history and so it contains the histories of both the Liberal Party (from 1688) and the Liberal Democrats. Because the Liberal Party existed for longer and had a more prominent position, its entry is considerably longer than that of the Liberal Democrats.

Youtube links
Thanks for rewording that external link to the Doctor Who Youtube videos (on the Krotons page). I really hate adding those, you wouldn't beleive how many times I write out those lines then delete them. Why they're so awkward for me to word is beyond me.

Re: John Barrowman
Hi. I noticed you removed a link to British American in the lead section of John Barrowman. The problem is, somebody will add the link again, so this isn't a solution. If the term isn't appropriate here, could you think of another one? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 05:14, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Wallander move
This is a bit rich: I opened a discussion on this, and your response was to barge ahead and make changes.

Then, when they were reverted by someone, you undo them saying discussion/consensus is unnecessary, and tell the other guy to lay off edit warring.

I opened the discussion because I do think consensus is necessary; but I’ve put things back because things should be done decently, and in order. Also, I’m not particularly impressed with your reasoning; I've replied there. Swanny18 (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Bradley0110, please await some form of consensus before splitting the articles again, since our readers aren't exactly helped by article contents going back and forth between different article names once or twice every day. I have no strong opinions on which choice you land in, but edit warring is not constructive. As to this edit summary, a split is obviously controversial if it is contested, and an opened or on-going discussion is a clear indication that things may need to be discussed. Thank you.

Pilot (Cold Feet)
I don't think it's me that's confused, Bradley0110. I'm not the only one who thinks that Pilot (Cold Feet) or Pilot (The Grimleys) makes about as much sense as Film (Starsky & Hutch). To my way of thinking the type should be reserved for the disambiguation of articles that a reasonable person might genuinely expect to find if they were to look up Pilot. Pilot (band), for instance. The fact that there's a list of television pilots named "Pilot" strongly suggests that not all televsion pilots are named "Pilot".

You'll have to explain the snark reference. Grant (talk) 14:08, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
