message: The true story of Ms. Sutton has been taken with some license--the textile industry is not: "..the only American industry not union..", nor would it be: "..last to be unionized.." When I heard these words in the movie, I thought it just fiction, not based on fact.
Fact is; the Electronics industry will be and is the last to be union, if ever. Work is constantly shipped overseas, to a now  "throwaway " industry.   Spectra-Physics, in Tucson, simply laid off all its production personnel and had it done overseas  when they protested. Only  the few highly specialized Government  and Government-contract electronics jobs may remain all-American.
American textiles must be processed domestically into thread or they will become unaffordable. Possibly, cloth can be made cheaply overseas of American thread. Electronics can be all made, engineered, tested, overseas.

thread_title: Where "sergeant york" searches go

message: I question whether Middle Tennessee State University has the ACTUAL rifle used by York in WWI. That rifle was undoubtly turned in when he was discharged from the Army. Allthough issued a Model 1917, York was adament that on the day in question he was using an '03 Springfield as he preferred the front sight on that model as being easier with which to obtain a sight picture.  This was confirmed by his sons in an interview with the American Rifleman, a monthly publication of the National Rifle Association. The article appeared in 2010 or 2011.  The article stated that some soldiers "traded" their 1917's for '03's by going up to a bunch of 'stacked rifles' while the soldiers who had stacked them were in the mess tent or otherwise occupied and "trading" rifles.   It is not known if this was the means by which York could have obtained his '03, but it is one explaination.  He may have simply actually traded whth another soldier who wanted a 1917. 70.246.233.111 (talk) 00:09, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Serpico

message: The plot line says: "Chief Sidney Green fears Serpico may have been shot by a cop."
In the first scene, the chief is clearly upset and concerned about Serpico's safety right after the shooting when he assigns a 24-hour guard and based on his demeanor.  There would be good reason for the chief to be concerned a cop shot him--based on the rest of the film.  But he never says anything directly to indicate exactly who or why Serpico was shot or why he would need a guard.  Watching it, and knowing that Serpico was a whisteblower before I started the movie, I believed that was probably the chief's concern.
But the film is clever in use of "show don't tell", and we don't know precisely what the chief is thinking or fearing, or why he assigned the guard.  This ambiguity is part of what draws the viewer in to find out why the chief feels there needs to be a 24-hour guard.
So although I think many viewers would tend to believe this was likely the chief's fear, the sentence above is too direct, and does not do justice to the screenplay.  Unfortunately, I can't think of a simple way to describe the beauty in which the director gives us strong clues about what the chief is fearing.
I will try and come back to this and see if I can think of something.
In the meantime, I put in a comment in the plot to point here with my desire to improve the sentence to say it more subtly as the screenplay does.  --David Tornheim (talk) 10:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Great Pyramid of Giza: alternative theories

message: what a joke. What a pointless empty and invalid process. It had already been decided before hand. This was never a discussion or a debate on the merits and problems.
NPOV had nothing to do with this in the end, nor the supply of evidence, which was added as promised during the building stage of the page. Further additions were abandoned; it became very clear there was never going to be a turn around, simply because the people involved were never going to bother to look at the new evidence for the defence after they had stated their views. 
In truth, this is no surprise. But it is a shame that those who enjoy their power to delete maybe too much couldn't exercise the wisdom to see how to best progress and ensure neutrality. Instead, we now have a biased encyclopaedia with only one side of the debate, one version of the opinions (stated as though they were fact) regarding the dating etc.

Talk:The Bells of St. Mary's

message: The article says the film is set in New York City.  The city in which St. Mary's is located is not stated in the film.  Going My Way is apparently set in New York (references to the Metropolitan Opera and Jenny Linden's home on Long Island).  O'Malley says upon his arrival at St. Mary's that he had a long train trip in a "day coach."  This would suggest that St. Mary's is located in some other city (assuming O'Malley was coming from his prior Going My Way assignment of the previous year).

thread_title: Screenplay?

message: In the very first paragraph, I would like to draw attention to the description of Father O'Malley (Bing Crosby) and Sister Superior (Ingrid Bergman) as having a "good-natured" rivalry. I don't believe this captures the depth of their conflict which is critical to understanding the film's ending - and the resolution it represents. Their personalities are quite different and their conflicts are far from good-natured. Yes, the film reveals a lighter side to their conflicts (as we see when Sister Superior teaches the bullied boy, Eddie, to fight or when Father O'Malley catches her coaching him from what she thinks is a hidden vantage point). But I would argue that the heart of the film is very much concerned with the real conflict between these two different people and the transformation they both undergo by the film's end. There is a gain of respect and appreciation upon which the whole film turns. It is because their conflicts are not superficial or especially 'good-natured' that this has a dramatic impact. One leaves the film feeling that these two characters have changed each other’s lives.
My suggestion would be to improve this entry by saying something to the effect of: 
″Written by Dudley Nichols and based on a story by Leo McCarey, the film is about a priest and a nun who, despite profoundly different perspectives, try to save their school from being shut down and, in the process, gain a deep respect for each other and a humbling lesson in what it means to truly see another person’s viewpoint.″
[I don't feel this wording is sacred; I am just trying to communicate all the elements that are represented in this relationship and why the current text is insufficient . No disrespect intended towards the author(s) of the article, which is well done.]

I can't check reference #4 (The Times is paywalled) which is why I haven't gone ahead and changed this, but surely the first quoted sentence should say: "For the village of the story he settled on Mirabeau (65 km to the north), while César's house is located in Vaugines, where the church from the film can also be found.[4]"?

message: In two films, Terror by Night and Voice of Terror, the device is used of having the identity of Watson's school chum become an important part of the story. Is it possible for a person to mistake a former close acquaintance or even a former mate? Aging changes people's appearance, voice, and behavior, but a fundamental identity is usually recognized.  Sommersby and The Return of Martin Guerre try to make this credible.
