Pat Hingle
FYI, you added wikilinks to some of the dates in Pat Hingle, and another editor quickly removed them. That used to be the way the Manual of Style recommended we do it; this was changed within the last year and the practice is now deprecated, and there are even 'bots at work removing the links. "nnnn in film" links still exist, but ordinary year and month-date links are no longer used. My understanding is that it was causing a link overload on the system and link clutter on pages, so another method is being considered for automatic date formatting based on user preference settings, possibly using templates in curly braces instead. In the mean time, no date links. &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 20:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
