White Christmas
Turner Classic Movies is perhaps the best source for information on older movies, so I'm not understanding yout objection -- especially since, if you have any feeling for choreography at all --- Fosse's contribution appears obvious. Unless have some specific objection to this  sourced  information, please do not delete it again. Your continuing to do so could get you blocked from editing in the future.

Regarding your edit summary here, if you indeed wrote the article on TCM, then why was that line originally included in the webpage if you found it to be unverifiable? VernoWhitney (talk) 16:40, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Greetings -- the bottom line is that TCM removed the mention of Fosse from its article because the information was found to be unverifiable per TCM's standards. (Mistakes happen.) The link to TCM that is listed as a source for the wikipedia entry does not currently mention Fosse. Therefore, it really can't be used as a source. If you have another source, for instance imdb, by all means leave in the line about Fosse, but please do not link to TCM as the source. I am a new wiki user/editor so perhaps I erred by not being clear enough when removing the info; if you felt offended I am sorry. I simply do not want to be the source for information I consider to be rumor. Punctual8 (talk) 05:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I understand that you don't want to perpetuate possibly untrue information--neither do we, certainly. I guess what I'm trying to ask is where did the rumor/unverifiable information come from in the first place? VernoWhitney (talk) 00:15, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't recall, but another researcher doing some more in-depth research on Fosse recently was not able to verify his involvement in this film, so TCM removed the reference. Again, if someone else wants to research it and finds a source, they should go right ahead and use it. The fact that TCM removed it from its own article should be reason enough not to use TCM as a source, and I am puzzled as to why there is such resistance to this. Why is this a problem? What do you say, Beyond My Ken? Punctual8 (talk) 04:15, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Why don't I comment it out until I can look into it a bit more. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:33, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * At this point I've checked two biographies of Fosse with no mention of White Christmas, but there's a third bio I'd like to check as well. Unfortunately I don't have immediate access to it, so I'll need a bit of time.  If I can't confirm it in the third bio, I'll remove it entirely - but at this moment, no one reading the article can see it. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
