Schönbrunn sculptures

[edit]

Hi, on de:Diskussion:Schlosspark Schönbrunn Steinfiguren/Neufassung I propose a new layout for that gallery-like "not-very-much-of-an-article" article. If it seems a good solution (to me it does, of course;) it would be easy to translate it, but I would rather host the English version on Commons: It will, very probably, never be more than a gallery with some (little) comment. Please leave a note on your opinion on Talk:Sculptures in the Schönbrunn Garden. WeHaWoe (talk) 08:34, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Good catch. I feel bad because this article is on my watchlist and I missed this. Even though he is my favorite director, comparing him to one of the originators of suspense is going too far. JuJube (talk) 10:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent Kubrick Edit

[edit]

Glad you had a source to back up your removal of the material on Anthony Burgess in the lede of the article on Stanley Kubrick. However, Anthony Burgess' own foreword to the published edition of his late 1980s stage adaptation of Clockwork Orange definitely expresses some dissatisfaction with the Kubrick film and would therefore have to trump whatever the Kubrick encyclopedia has to say.

I have restored the original lede but with the modification that Burgess' dissatisfaction grew over time (unlike Stephen King's feelings about The Shining), and clarified that AB's reworking was for stage.

I realize you have been on Wikipedia for a long time, so forgive me for offering advice- I don't mean to sound condescending. Since this is all discussed later in the body of (very long) article, my general advice would be that if you see something questionable in the lede section of an article, see how it's presented and what sources are cited in the subsequent body of the article before fixing the lede. Ideally, everything in the opening lede of the article should be discussed more fully in the body of the article, and in this case that is so. Burgess' own writing on the subject are indeed cited later in the article on Kubrick in this section Stanley_Kubrick#Alternative_adaptations. Cheers, --WickerGuy (talk) 21:16, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clearing that up. I must have missed the discussion in the body. I still believe that the choice of words "unhappy" (in the lede) and "annoyed" (in the section) are a bit harsh considering the fact that Burgess did press interviews after the release of Clockwork and was inspired by Kubrick to write "Napoleon Symphony" (which he apparently also dedicated to Kubrick). --Wutschwlllm (talk) 11:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
