Talk:Entertaining Mr Sloane

message: I came to this article hoping to find out what this play is ABOUT, as it is currently playing off Broadway starring Alec Baldwin. This article seems stubby. Pacian 21:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The page seems to be for the play.... would it make more sense to create a separate, linked one for the film? I'll put an infobox here int he meantime as it's next on my list to do, but would appreciate opinions on this ^^ thankyouplease :)  High Heels on Wet Pavement 22:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Entertaining-mr-sloane-poster-1970.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: Emerson7, you are adding incorrect material to this article and removing information that ought to be in it. Either justify with sources your claim that the play is a farce and indicate why the information you are removing ought not to be there or else stop this disruptive editing. DionysosProteus (talk)
: no, not disruptive....corrective--removing non-standard formatting. as for the delightfully ironic genre, i submit the following:''
;Farce
* wikipedia: ...a comedy written for the stage or film which aims to entertain the audience by means of unlikely, extravagant, and improbable situations....
* tfd: A light dramatic work in which highly improbable plot situations, exaggerated characters, and often slapstick elements are used for humorous effect.
* wiktionary: A style of humor marked by broad improbabilities with little regard to regularity or method; compare sarcasm

replies: text: I agree, this is not a farce except in the most stretched definition of the term.  207.237.198.152 (talk) 00:04, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Emerson7, again you have added in factual inaccuracies and removed relevant information. There is nothing in the infobox guidelines to justify the removal and your additions have no supporting evidence. I've reported you to the 3RR violators page. Please cease your disruptive editing and go consult a book on the play to clear up your misunderstandings. There are plenty of suggestions in the sources section.

thread_title:  Disruptive editing 

message: The image of a film poster has no place in an article about a play, so I'm removing it. I trust this will not lead to another edit war. LiteraryMaven (talk) 14:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I kept all the information re: productions of the play but put it in prose form, which I believe is preferable, rather than listing them. LiteraryMaven (talk) 15:09, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Productions

message: I significantly rewrote the plot section, as many key points were missing namely Kemp's blindness, most of act 2, hints of Ed's sexual orientation (e.g. women being 'crude') et al. It has been transposed into a more linear fashion separating each respective act. Slippycup (talk) 19:22, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
