Gerald Mohr photo

The caption to the photo lists Gerald Mohr as Philip Marlowe, yet under the Gerald Mohr wiki article it describes the same photo as being from Undercover Girl, a movie which has nothing to do with Phillip Marlowe.

No knock against Gerald Mohr, or Bogart, but Marlowe was probably a bit more handsome than either. Picture should be changed, and when I become technically proficient enough, I'll do so, if no one else does first. Guernseykid 20:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BBC

Since figure in illustration is looking to the right, the image is placed on left because of a basic layout and design principle. I've previously raised this point after people move left-side images to the right but never get a response. Pepso 20:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

Pepso states above that it is a precept of layout/graphics to have the person in the photo facing the text. Perhaps whoever changed it would discuss it here.

I went ahead and changed it back to the left hand side. Admittedly, there is something more traditional-seeming in having the text on the left, but frankly I haven't studied it over the years, either. I think it's fine the way it is unless the image can be reversed, and I'm not suggesting it should be. Guernseykid 04:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nonsense

It's not that I'm taking on the role of enforcer here, but I couldn't find a record of deleting "Poodle Springs" and putting in "Pencil something or other". How do these things happen w/o their going into the "history" page? Guernseykid 03:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
