The Stanley Theatre

Actually, I live just down the street from it (well, about a dozen blocks). The dear old Stanley -- I think the first film I ever went to there was "The Exorcist" in its first run, which rather dates me; it used to run "blockbuster" films. These days, it's used for stage productions of fairly large-scale musicals and the like; if they have to drop a helicopter (Miss Saigon) or a chandelier (Phantom), the Stanley is where they seem to do it. I haven't been there in quite a while. Is there something I can help you with, in respect to it? I'm actually going to a Vancouver meet-up on Monday night so if I can't give you what you require, someone will probably be just as happy to help as I would be.

Cool! Helpful to hear the Exorcist indeed played there (it's in the article)! So it's been used in film shoots? I can look for sources on that. Anything you might pick up could point myself and the other editors working on it to citations. Anything about the current management and the theatre's current place in the community would also be interesting to hear. Cheers! Gwen Gale (talk) 05:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure about film shoots -- although nearly everything in Vancouver has been used in one film shoot or another. The references I made were to musical plays of which I was aware. I'll see if I can find you an expert at the meet-up on Monday (my own tastes are for film over live theatre). Accounting4Taste:talk 15:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Mine as well (film over live theatre) but I have a thing for old showbiz buildings, something about my overlapping interests. The reason I got into this article was that someone posted to ANI about an IP deleting all the financial information about the place, which made me want to look closer. Let me know if you hear anything helpful and thanks again! Gwen Gale (talk) 16:17, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Gwen, I hear you could use some help on this article. Mkdw^talk 04:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey! Yes, thanks for leaving this note. If you can point us to any sources about the theatre's current management, their goals/plans, current fund raising and finances, current state of the facility (always an interesting topic) and so on, it would help bring the article up to date in a big way. Cheers! Gwen Gale (talk) 15:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

And you know about Carlisle and Franklin Ohio how?

I'm more familiar with the region than you. How about you stop stalking me? I'd appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Harvey1976 (talk • contribs) 19:28, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Your fifth edit was vandalism and your edit summaries are unhelpful, hence I worry about any unsourced edit you might make. By the way, your assertion of familiarty with the region is original research and not an acceptable source. Gwen Gale (talk) 19:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Just like your vandalism revert on Family Feud, correct? Get bent lady. And I at least have proof on my edit, which is better than your vandalism. Consider yourself reported.

I'm already bent, thanks :) Gwen Gale (talk) 19:37, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I was going to have a discussion with this user and soon learned that he's been identified as a sockpuppet of a blocked user, User:Hdayejr, so I doubt you'll have further involvement. If you have any encounters with similarly impolite users, feel free to let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 16:28, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

WHAT??

Why did you change it —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caneinthehouse (talk • contribs) 00:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Cuz. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Informal mediation for Yorkshirian et al

Hi Gwen. Thank you for offering to help informally mediate the situation with User:Yorkshirian, User:Jza84, User:MRSC and User:Harkey Lodger. We would definitely appreciate some more outside assistance, whether administrative or just with mediation. The situation has grown beyond what I'm able to handle myself.

I think the best way to help at the moment would be if you could review Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Yorkshirian and add any comments there. As of right now, Yorkshirian has posted a response there and has agreed to tone down his interactions with other editors, on the condition that they also treat him more civilly. I think that's a reasonable request on his part, and it's a good first step toward getting all this hashed out. I also think that the articles in question need a third opinion or request for comment to address the content dispute.

Thanks again, and thanks for taking a look at the ANI report. I was getting really tired of seeing stuff go unanswered there - this is far from the first time I've had that happen with incidents I've been involved in. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:44, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Let's see if he can tone things way down now. Could you give me a list of key articles you'd like me to look at? Gwen Gale (talk) 16:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, it appears that the disputes have mainly occurred on the following pages and/or talks:

• Selby
• Yorkshire
• Manchester
• Beverley
• Market Weighton
• Saddleworth White Rose Society

The dispute has continued into WQA, RFC/U, and several user talk pages. Hope this helps. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 16:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

All are now on my watchlist. I'll keep an eye on them and offer input whenever I think it might help. Cheers. Gwen Gale (talk) 22:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Help

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible to lock my user page from edits. The reason I ask is that someone placed a banner on my page which an admin later removed, yet the user continues to replace the banner. I have asked him to leave me alone. Libro0 (talk) 23:21, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Since the thread about you at ANI is still ongoing, you might want to think about asking about this there. Gwen Gale (talk) 23:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Why have you removed my questions?

Dear Gwen Gale, as I explained to NawlinWiki on his talk page, I restored those questions because they are perfectly legitimate. They are not offensive or rude, homework questions, legal or medial, or starting debates. Please give a rational for the removal of those questions or restore them. Thank you.
