Richmond Green Secondary School Principal[edit]

Hello ThriftyCat,

I am writing this to inform you that your rollback is unnecessary. I have cited the source and am a student at the school. Here is a link to the school's official website in which state that the principal is Daraius Bharucha. [1]

Kind regards, A student of RGSS 99.209.131.234 (talk) 18:28, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for the error. I've restored your version. Thanks for correcting me. Thriftycat ^{Talk • Contribs} 18:31, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've also gone ahead and updated the superintendent's name. Thriftycat ^{Talk • Contribs} 18:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rye College[edit]

Hello ThriftyCat,

@82.38.214.252 and @Rambling Rambler have been edit warring in the Rye College article. Yesterday you made a rollback of edits by @82.38.214.252 because of unexplained content removal but I think you made a mistake.

While the IP user did remove some content from the 'gender identity controversy' section, prior to that they restored it after the removal of the whole section by Rambler. Your rollback reverted all the edits by the IP user, though, so now this section isn't there at all.

I restored the section while removing a part that was clearly biased, and started a section on the talk page to build consensus as there's an edit war. Amberkitten (talk) 17:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Amberkitten - Yes, that's fine. Sorry about that--it may have been a misclick or I may have been confused by the IP making multiple edits. I don't really have an opinion on the content dispute itself. Thriftycat ^{Talk • Contribs} 17:33, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. The edit history is confusing indeed, I had to take a couple minutes to wrap my head around it. Amberkitten (talk) 17:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the Conrad A. Nervig Image[edit]

Thank you so much for posting that Public Domain image of Conrad in the Wikipedia page. That one picture helped me research more about this editor. As an aspiring film editor, it's amazing how so little detail there is these articles. Mr. Conrad A. Nervig was the first Oscar winning editor, and his military involvement wasn't even mentioned before today's edits by myself. Plus, that picture had a great article about his two wives.

You're welcome Yoshiman6464! The Wikipedia Library is just magical :) ⟲ Three Sixty! ^Talk? _Work. 20:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And nice job destubbing the article; great to see it gradually expanding throughout the day! ⟲ Three Sixty! ^Talk? _Work. 20:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Three Sixty: BIIIIG Update. I reached out to some Wikipedia editors to see if they want to help collaborate with me. Here is a message that I sent one of them:

I found an insanely useful resource that could help both of us. It's called the ACE Second Decade Anniversary Book. It has many biographies and deaths of various film editors that have never been posted on the internet before. Disclaimer, some of the death dates may be inaccurate. For example, they listed Alma Macrorie's death date as September 12, 1969 instead of June 28, 1970. But from my research, the rest of the death dates are accurate.

Here's some changes that I've made using that book as a source:

Conrad A. Nervig - I used multiple sources to highlight his time in the military before he began work as film editor.
American Cinema Editors Award for Best Edited Feature Film - They gave out TWO awards in 1969!
George Boemler - I completed his birth and death date using a combination of Ancestry.com (which I didn't cite) and the ACE book (which I did cite).
George Tomasini - Added more context to his death date using a partially available film journal and the ACE book in hand.

Let me know if you want to collaborate with me, and we can knock these editors out of the park. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 01:33, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yoshiman6464, you're definitely the subject-matter specialist here, but I'd love to help out where I can! How are you accessing the book? ⟲ Three Sixty! ^Talk? _Work. 11:05, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Three Sixty: I found a copy of it on eBay. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 11:17, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the "Thanks"[edit]

A really neat thing about the ACE Second Decade Anniversary Book is that it lacked a copyright date anywhere in the book. I have the actual physical copy. Because of this, I now have a trove of editors images that would benefit MANY of the earlier editors on the site. You should check my most recent contributions on Wikipedia Commons - Which you can see here! Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 15:16, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
