User talk:Tj. de Vries

'Wikipedia, I hate you!! You removed a very nice photograph from my article, on which I have worked VERY hard. You fools! If you remove any more pictures, I will remove the whole article. My name is Tjitte de Vries I don't know what the nonsense is that you do not know my user name.

Welcome!'

Thanks for your contribution of Arthur Melbourne-Cooper. He seems to be a notable character. However, you will need to add some references or external links; unreferenced articles may eventually be deleted. Also, notice that I moved the page to a new title under WP:NAME conventions. Thanks again, Danski14 17:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I do not know how to react (technically; the techniques and methods of Wikipedia are completely new to me) to your kind reaction. I had an article ready in several formats (Word, WP6, WP9, htm, txt. Dos, and 5 others) but uploading was impossible. Funny, though. Therefore I am now forced to type it all over again.

This article on Arthur Melbourne-Cooper is one of the first results of 30 years of study and research in England and France. His main contribution is the stop-frame animation, the close-up and the cutting of scenes with parallel actions. The first is disputed, but why? Cooper himself donated his Matches Appeal (1899) to the BFI. The close-up is wrongly credited by Georges Sadoul to G.A.Smith, and Sadoul had never seen the film. I was able to study the negative of Smith's version which is completely different. I will in short give my evidence.

In the next couple of years, the Dutch Filmmuseum in co-operatopn with the Amsterdam University Press will publish in 4 volumes our findings on Cooper, who is - according to our thesis - one of the founders of the principles of film grammar. The first volume "They thought it was a marvel" about Cooper's puppet films, will be published this year.

Sources and references: my wife and I dug up too much to be mentioned here. We built up an archive of some 20 meters, which all in the end will go to the Dutch Filmmuseum (they signed already an acceptance). The films we discovered ourselves of Cooper have been restored to safety negatives by the Dutch Filmmuseum. The most important sources will be given at the end. It seems like a long list, but please, it is enough to shortcut much dispute (for which I have no time.(I am waiting for an operation; I have to prepare manuscripts for the publisher). I have no time to go into lengthy discussions. I fear the possibility that my article will be rampaged by "we-know-it-all-much-better".

I am now wrestling by the following questions - how to deal with this user talk business? How to answeer you? - how to make a box with text in it - how to put my (copyright-free) illustrations in it.
