Talk:Jack Pickford

message: I commented out the list of films he appeared in.  Could someone familiar with the actor just trim it down to "notable" films?  We don't need the whole list--it adds little value to the article for the space it oocupies.  His sister, for example, appeared in over 200 films, but we don't even include any of hers in her article.  His complete filmography appears on the IMDb anyway, for those really interested in all his appearences.  —Frecklefoot 15:59, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
The real problem is that many of Jack Pickford's films are considered lost, and of the remainder few of his starring vehicles are really "notable". He can be seen to good advantage in The Goose Girl, Exit Smiling & Brown of Harvard- the last probably his best extant performance. He is also in The Bat, but plays a supporting role & is not very distinctive.

replies: text: I'm not sure what important details you think are missing. There were a couple reference format errors that caused part of the article to be hidden. Those have been fixed and the article seems fairly comprehensive, based on what materials are available. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Oops my bad listed the wrong company.  Monument Films that was.  Elaina Archer was the curator of the Mary Pickford Library, has done documentaries on Louise Brooks, Clara Bow, and censorship (Why Be Good?)  Wildhartlivie has a serious god complex and unless someone can give me a good reason this documentary can not be listed I will keep adding it back.--75.51.184.244 (talk) 08:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment on content, not the contributors please. I'll venture a guess and say the content was reverted because a). There was no edit summary saying why the mention of this documentary is important and b). There's no need to mention the documentary, link it in the article AND link it in the external links section. That's overkill and looks like someone is attempting to promote the documentary. In the future, it might benefit you to actually ask the editor who removed the content and come to some sort of agreement instead of saying someone has a God complex and stating that you intent to edit war to get your way.

replies: text: Gingerymaggiedaneone, please keep your comments to the article and desist in slamming me wherever you go on here. I'm no more impressed by your bad faith comments here than I was when you tried to wheedle me into fixing your citations you were adding to Rudolph Valentino. I thought you were finished with Wikipedia. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:14, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

message: You say his image was of the 'all-American boy'. Any reference for this? He was actually Canadian, and some Americans don't like the difference to be glossed-over. There was a heck of a rumpus the first time Raymond Massey played Lincoln on-stage. Valetude (talk) 12:39, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
