thread_title: Date of birth

message: It might be worth noting that Lillian Russell has a theatre named after her in her hometown of Clinton, Iowa. It's a summerstock theatre that operates for three months out of the year. More information can be found at . 144.62.240.2 06:24, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clinton Area Showboat Theatre 

message: I assessed this article as "start" class.  Does anyone think it is B-class yet?  My sense is that there is much more to say about this important performer.  Best regards,  -- Ssilvers 17:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's rated C-class now.  It needs considerably more referencing to move up to B-class.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 06:50, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Assessment

message: I am concerned about this edit from April 2009.  Although the edit summary did not say so, that edit removed the birth name from the lead.  Per WP:Mosbio, it's standard practice to put stuff like that in the lead.  More generally, synonyms belong in the lead.  Any objection if I put it back?Anythingyouwant (talk) 16:57, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No objection.  I just added it back in the lead.  Feel free to modify.  -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:41, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.Anythingyouwant (talk) 22:01, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I made a small change, based on the way similar articles seem to format it. Feel free to change/discuss as necessary. Joefromrandb (talk) 13:47, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Birth name

message: I don't think there was such a thing. The information comes from eznet.net. What is that? Who publishes it and what are its sources? (Also, it currently gives the year for Russell's appearance at Tony Pastor's as 1880.) The Casino Theatre opened on Broadway at 39th Street in 1882. "Casino" should be deleted from the first reference to "Pastor's Casino Theatre" and the phrase, "Returning to Pastor's Casino Theatre in 1883…" should read, "At the Casino Theatre in 1883…".

replies: text: OK, done.  Thanks!  The website apparently confused/conflated the two theaters. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Great! On the assumption that you prefer the British spelling "theatre", I changed a few stray "theater"'s (and made a couple of copy edits). Vzeebjtf (talk) 17:53, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I noted that Ms. Russell was referenced in a Sergeant Preston of the Yukon episode, and that Marilyn Monroe posed as her for Life, both of which Ssilvers (talk) removed, writing: "These are not all 'popular culture' references". Must disagree: for someone who is researching Ms. Russell's life, these ARE important, or, at the very least, note-worthy, so I've inserted them into Legacy section w/sources. Please do not remove. Thank you 47.152.245.51 (talk) 22:03, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: You misunderstood my comment.  In any event, you cannot cite IMDB, which is a fan-written website.  I have no objection to the Sergeant Preston of the Yukon reference, so long as you can cite a WP:RS. -- Ssilvers (talk) 22:15, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Ssilvers, IMDb staff screens entries before it goes live; "fan-contributed", yes, but NOT "fan-written". Irony you should object to IMDB as a source as IMDb DOES NOT accept Wiki as a source for biographical info as Wiki is "user-dynamic". 47.152.245.51 (talk) 03:02, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia articles generally do not cite IMDB as an in-line citation.  Here is the advice that is generally followed in higher quality articles in Wikipedia: WP:CITEIMDB. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:37, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Popular culture

message: I have heard, pretty much all of my life, of "Lillian Russell" furniture.  Was this a line manufactured by a famous company, or a specific piece such as a dresser?  Does anyone have any references to this?  2600:1004:B119:CBF8:EDFD:1AC8:2DCF:709C (talk) 02:04, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
