Talk:László Kovács (cinematographer)

message: Hello, My name is Nadia, the daughter of Laszlo Kovacs. Lately there has been some edits to my father's page that are PURE fiction We intently researched all of the citations about this "Joseph Miko" guy, and every article that is sited does not exist (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_Kov%C3%A1cs_(cinematographer)&oldid=269631740) is the edit that I keep trying to take down, it is stated in the early life section. It's all lies and my family and myself are very upset. I keep watching he page and changing it whenever it gets changed incorrectly. How can I put a stop to this? Anyone that reads a film history book on my father can clearly see that this information is incorrect. Thank you! -Nadia (talk) 02:44, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: In the meantime, I've warned the IP editor who added the Miko material to the article not to re-add it without a supporting citation from a reliable source. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 05:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Like Ed Fitzgerald, I have found no evidence, references or sources for this "controversy" about Josef Miko. Unless some reliable independent source are found for these allegations, they should definitely be removed. I see the IP has apparently registered as User:Skierjoe and attempted to replace the unsourced material. Further disruption could result in an WP:AIV and/or page protection.  — CactusWriter | needles 21:00, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Skierjoe - Regardless of what you say your personal knowledge is this information cannot be included in a Wikipedia article if it is not backed up by a published reliable source.  If you do not have a citation by which anyone can verify the accuracy of your claims you may not add them to the article.  Please, do not add the information to the article again with a proper citation. If you are unsure about Wikipedia's policies in this matter, please see WP:Reliable sources and WP:Verifiability.  Thanks. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 02:39, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

text: Skierjoe, references for the information in the Laszlo Kovacs article as currently written are present -- enumerated at the bottom of the page -- and they are reliable sources cited from books, magazine, professional journals and newspapers. There is nothing there which is controversial. On the other hand, the defamatory information you wish to inject is wholly unsourced. You seem to be the only source for this, and Wikipedia only uses independent and reliable published sources as references. Not hearsay. Please read the links that Ed Fitzgerald has noted. Searches on Google return no reliable sources to back up your statements. In fact, bios about Joseph Miko (such as this one) only corroborate the article as currently written.  — CactusWriter | needles 23:03, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Help with fradulent info on Laszlo Kovacs' wiki page! 

message: I've added a "citation needed" tag to the note on Breathless. Although it is true that Kovács was unknown as a cinematographer at the time of Breathless's release, he had, along with Vilmos Zsigmond, smuggled out of Hungary a great deal of footage of the 1956 Revolution in that country. Much of that footage had been shown on European and US news outlets. I have always heard that Godard included his name out of admiration for the "filming" he had done, which seems at least in part believable as Godard was a politically active filmmaker, the Hungarian Revolution was a hotly debated topic in late 1950s France, and Breathless is a film that makes obvious its love of cinema of all types. 
I cannot provide a reference, but if none can be provided for the claim that the name in Breathless is a coincidence, I think it should be deleted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vadaszaaron (talk • contribs) 19:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
