Talk:Sextette

message: The complete lack of neutrality in this article is absolutely appalling.  I've started to work on it a little, but am not familiar enough with the film...some help?  --CWSensation 18:45, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd argue that the same is true for the Mae West page. It's probable that the same person/groups of people wrote both articles. Unfortunately I'm not well-versed on either topic, so I wouldn't be much help either. Metathesiophobia (talk) 15:21, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And you'd argue correctly. Have tried to bring a bit of balance to the "Critical..." section and removed the bias template. SoCoColl (talk) 01:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

message: So was she 83 during filming or 85? The article claims both. - 71.169.145.223 23:36, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Her biographical page states that she was 85 and this would be true given her year of birth (but maybe she was 84 when it was filmed?)--Tuzapicabit (talk) 04:11, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: How old was she?

message: A personal comment was made 02:42, 27 November 2011‎ by IP 24.158.80.28 I moved it here from the article text:
*I worked on Sextette with Mae West and had a scene opposite her. Yes. She did have an earpiece, but it was mostly unnecessary. In fact, the director, who seemed not to realize the charm her presence exuded merely by being on the set, was in a soundproof booth shouting at her while she was on the set. Ms. West was spectacular in her composure and refrain. As the director yelled and screamed, she looked around at the cast and gave the most wonderful smile, as if to say, "Who cares, I'm Mae West and I'm on a film set." I will never forget her aura from the moment she stepped onto the set. She brought something very intangible and beautiful with her, in spite of her age and somewhat weakened condition. My line with her was as a marathon runner. After she finished talking to a sprinter, she stood by me and smiled, "A marathon runner - I like a man who can go the distance." Who would believe an eighty year old could still pull off what she had done more than fifty years earlier. Any fault with her performance lies more with the director than Mae West.

message: I believe this image is relevant to this article, but since I know the person who took the photo, I probably shouldn't add it myself (?). --SergeWoodzing (talk) 07:57, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be interesting to have an opinion or two from a previously uninvolved editor. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:38, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, all opinions are welcome whether the editor previously edited the article or not. That said this article may not attract many new users as it is a pretty low profile article. Dom from Paris (talk) 10:02, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

text: To be honest I don't really remember I may have been refering to the 2009 discussion above or maybe I was refering to a deletion discussion that has been courtesy blanked at the request of a participant. SergeWoodzing has expressed a desire not to interact with me over this subject as he was distressed by the deletion discussion of an article concerning a person that he has declared knowing personally, maybe the photographer in question. This photo was amongst a number of photos added and articles that were created and edited by a certain number of editors with a declared COI to the subject of the deleted article and his various activites notably a cabaret in Sweeden. Myself and other editors went through the very large number of articles and photos to remove potentially promotional material and create deletion discussions for non notable subjects. A certain number of photos were left in place when they were of encyclopedic interest. This particular photo had originally been used to illustrate the Alice Cooper article but was removed once and the COI request to add it again was contested here. It seems to be more appropriate here than there even though the quality is relatively poor. The screenshot actually in place is a fair use of non-free images and as such the resolution must not be too high as per WP:IMAGERES and the size was automatically reduced to comply with this requirement. Despite the fact that I personally uploaded the still from the film I really do objectivly believe that it adds to the article and shouldn't be removed but it really doesn't bother me if you want to remove it. I am less convinced about the other photo but not rigourously opposed to it. Dom from Paris (talk) 13:38, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I didn't know the COI went beyond simply being acquainted with the photographer, but my opinion remains the same. I think the image is just fine for this article. Sro23 (talk) 22:31, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: My COI, in this case, is just that "simply being acquainted with the photographer" and nothing else. "distressed by the deletion discussion" does not reveal why, i.e. how that discussion was conducted, to which several of us, including administrators, objected. "a certain number of editors with a declared COI" = me and only me, no conspiracy, no cabal. All of that irrelevant here, yes, but once again, my character is questioned and needs defense, and WP:AGF is still out the window as far as my WP work is concerned. Has been going on for 6 months now. Sad. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 10:18, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: From the uploader of the file in question's last edit (directed to you): "You, if anyone, are now to represent the interests of image contributor Southerly Clubs according to the wishes of that organization's Board of Directors." Seriously, WTF. Seems pretty COI-like to me. Sro23 (talk) 12:53, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
