~~Panos75~~ Someone should clean up the infobox. It's a real mess.

@Pete Best Beatles:, there is a problem with the last source, which reads "artin, Betty (May 22, 1970). "Cloris Leachman Signs Pact". Los Angeles Times. p. g18.". I suspect Betty's surname is "Martin", perhaps you have some insight, and can fix this problem?

You have done an excellent job of expanding this article. Well Done!! Respect and best wishes to you, Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 08:05, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Tribe of Tiger:I might point out I didn't cite that reference, it's been there since the article was created in July of 2005, but I'm happy to oblige! The last name is "Martin," and I went to correct it, but on the edit page of the reference section all that shows is {{reflist|33cm} (I only put one bracket because listing the code verbatim screwed up my response). Maybe you could return the favor and give me a little orthographic advice? In this article, in the second paragraph of the lead, should "The Shanghai Paper Case" receive quotation marks or be italicized? In the second paragraph of the Production section, should "Office" really be lower-case?

Thanks for the positive feedback, it means a lot. Except for some chastisement, I've been flying solo over here (I did receive a smiley face once, when I sent a nice message to an editor). -- Pete Best Beatles (talk) 18:42, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pete Best Beatles:, yes, I could see by looking at the history, that you didn't add this very old ref, and I Know that this wasn't your error. But, I viewed you as a subject expert, who would be able to verify the name. So, this is another way in which you have improved the article, by verifying/supplying corrections. Kudos and thanks!

- - I have repaired the error (Martin instead of "artin"). This was an in-line reference, WP:ILC so you can't fix it in the References section, you have to open the "Remake" section, and correct it, where it appears after the sentence "In 1970 Small announced he intended to turn the film into a TV series but it did not materialize." Your confusion is a very common one, I had the same problem when I started editing, as have 1000K of others!
  - I had noticed the text: The Shanghai Paper Case. It needs "something", but honestly, I don't know if it should be italicized, or put in quotes. I had actually looked it up here on WP and Google, but it seems to be an imaginary/literary source within the "T-Men" world. Perhaps, as it seems to be imaginary, quotes would be best, as it's not really a publication? At this point, I would go with quotes...
  - Re: "Office". This appears to be a nickname reference to Production Code Office, so I would capitalize. Or, you could use the full name of Production Code Office, no need to wikilink, as it was already done, previously, in the article. Generally, the convention is to Wikilink the first occurrence, but not the following occurrences, if that makes sense.

In my experience, flying solo, (unless you ask at the Teahouse), and getting chastised, here and there, is par for the course. But, see WP:BITE. Being unkind and unhelpful to newcomers, is the surest way to lose good-quality prospective editors. This is an astonishingly huge website (to me, at least), and even our Administrators will admit that they don't know everything...too much for one human mind to encompass! I am happy to help you, if possible! Very best wishes, and thanks for the good work! Tribe of Tiger ^{Let's Purrfect!} 20:43, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding "flying solo" and the Teahouse, I meant more moral support than technical support. -- Pete Best Beatles (talk) 00:32, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Pete Best Beatles, My comment above was intended to refer to moral support (not technical). If we do something wrong/poorly, hopefully people will notice, for the sake of our encyclopedia. Everyone is expected to do things correctly. Pretty much like real life (RL). That's why the Thanks button is so important, IMO. A positive affirmation. WP is just too huge for each edit, no matter how well done and helpful, for someone else to notice. Perhaps we are like bees, each doing their part, to contribute to a greater whole!
