Talk:The Perils of Pauline

message: I've come across suggestions that the 1914 version of this title never actually featured scenes where Pearl White was tied to a railroad or sent heading for a buzzsaw. At first I was skeptical because I've often seen this movie cited as the origin of those particular plot devices. But after a bit of initial research into sources that describe the episodes it seems such scenes are conspicuous by their absence. 
I've come across various references to "Pauline's trestle" on the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad as the site of a scene with Pearl White, but on further investigation it seems that references which describe her being tied to the track could be due to people leaping to conclusions. References which mention her tied to the track tend to be vague and none are specific about which episode it was supposedly in. On the other hand I've come across several descriptions of a scene with Pauline running along the top of a moving train as it crosses the trestle (see for example ). I find these latter descriptions more convincing as they are more specific and detailed.
Apart from the fact that there was a train scene (albeit without Pauline tied to the track), there are a number of other reasons why confusion might have arisen. At least one of the later remakes of Perils of Pauline had a scene with Pauline tied to the track as well as a scene with a buzssaw. I also think Pearl White may have done such a scene in one of her other films (It seems that if you're looking for the original model for things like The Perils of Penelope Pitstop then The Exploits of Elaine is a closer match than Perils of Pauline). Also, there were a number of other serials around that time that had damsel in distress scenes on railroads (The Hazards of Helen is among the candidates)
I guess it's possible there was something in one of the reels that has been lost (ie. something in the original 20-chapter release that isn't in the surviving 9-chapter version). Can anyone provide more conclusive evidence?

thread_title:  Removal of "needs infobox" tag 

message: I've changed the importance rating from low to high. The basis is as follows:
* This is a well known title that we could expect a significant number of general users of Wikipedia to look up.
* Within the general topic of film/movies this title has become symbolic of the cliffhanger melodramas of the silent era (and indeed of the concept of the cliffhanger serial more generally)
Before making the change I looked at Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Release_Version_Criteria#Importance_of_topic and I've tried to assess in line with that.

thread_title:  The Sphere 

message: In my research when expanding the article on Merhige's feature film debut Begotten, I have uncovered a significant amount of sources and information for Shadow of the Vampire. Frankly, I am over being surprised by how underdeveloped certain articles are but, in spite of myself, I still can't believe that this article is not expanded to at least C class given the amount of information and sources there are on this film. Anyways, the entire article requires SIGNIFICANT expansion which I shall detail below the tasks that need to be accomplished:
* Themes- Information on the film's various themes found in the film.
* Production (Development, Casting, Filming)- MAJOR expansion of the film's production section, with sub-sections detailing the film's development, casting, and filming added and expanded upon.
* Soundtrack- TRack listing and other information detailing the film's soundtrack.
* Theatrical/Home media releases- Since this section is missing from the article, some major addition and expansion is needed to detail the film's various theatrical (film festivals, and regular theatrical release), and home media releases will need to be added to the article.
* Reception (Critical response, and awards/nominations)- As the article stands, both the reception and "awards" section should be merged into the reception section as sub-sections detailing the film's critical response, and awards/nominations.
* Legacy- Adding and expanding upon the film's legacy and the influence (if any) it has had upon other works/artists.
There is a lot of work needed to be done with this article, and unfortunately I am unable to do it since I am currently SWAMPED with other projects. Hopefully someone comes along and gives this article the attention it needs to make GA as it could EASILY garner that status due to the amount of available information on it.--Paleface Jack (talk) 18:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
