Hi OscarLake! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Hi OscarLake,
I have added some new stuff for you at my adoption page. Sorry, it has been a few days!

Hi Oscar,
Some of your articles look interesting. When you make a new article which is long enough, 1500 bytes, you can submit it for DYK on the main page. If you are interested, please respond on my talk page, or give me a talkback and reply here.
Best wishes, Matty.007 18:52, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
I am not sure if you watch my talk page... So here is notification for you Matty.007 21:14, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
New assignment, not been done for a few days. Any Qs, I am in holiday until 19 August. Matty.007 16:45, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi OscarLake, I was just wondering if given that it has been a while since you last edited the adoption page if you still wanted adoption? Thanks, Matty.007 17:12, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Hey, Matt. I've started editing more frequently now. Today, I created two new articles. When's the next assignment coming? OscarLake (talk) 23:25, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove.
Hi OscarLake. Looks like my hunch was correct in that the sources for Don Lusk do not qualify as reliable sources, especially for a BLP (see the RSN thread). Can you find anything else to possibly save the article? Canadian Paul 19:48, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
I saw that you changed your age on your userpage... Happy Birthday? Best, Matty.007 10:19, 28 December 2013 (UTC)
Actually, my birthday was already on October 13, but I forgot to update it then. But thanks. :)OscarLake (talk) 10:22, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

OscarLake, you were a great adoptee and I wish you all the best wherever you edit. Best, Matty.007 17:09, 3 February 2014 (UTC) |
Your edit has been reverted. Gabor's year of birth is widely held to be 1917. If, however, you have solid evidence to the contrary, please provide same as a valid reflink. Thanks. Quis separabit? 14:13, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
I have no idea what criteria you use for your "Oldest Hollywood actors" list, but it seems to be missing Viola Stimpson. I have no idea if she's notable or not, but I thought that I would point it out. Canadian Paul 00:52, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi Oscar, can you please provide a reliable source for this edit? Otherwise it has to be reverted. The same applies to Héctor Vilches. Thanks and regards --RonaldH (talk) 15:16, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
And some of the other ones-something I was also wondering if you can ever do it is something like "list of longest since there film debut" I don't mean just living but those who died too (IE there first film was in 1912 and they died in 2010). (As well as other people who were in films if possible, and longest living after they won a Oscar)
Well one Munchkin remains meanwhile. Wgolf (talk) 04:44, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Welcome-you know one problem with the longest career thing is that quite a few are non consistent, like Anita Page, she had a long break making it look a lot longer. As opposed to Mickey Rooney (and Ernest Borgnine who I thought for sure be listed, but nope was not). Wgolf (talk) 15:46, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Whatever you feel of the relative merits of WP:BLPPRIMARY, it is a policy and is crystal clear about the use of census information for living people. I know that you are aware that BLP violations are taken very seriously at Wikipedia, so please respect the community's policy on this issue. If you have a reliable that discusses her birth year as being 1913 or her centenary, then by all means add it, but primary sources (and IMDB, for that matter) are unacceptable for biographies of living people. Canadian Paul 00:22, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
I've responded to your question at Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#Question about Possibly living people. – Philosopher Let us reason together. 18:18, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
I'm sure you've seen the mess being created at List of centenarians (actors, filmmakers and entertainers). I suspect that some of these (Germaine Auger, Tatzumbia Dupea, and Gustave Field) are hoaxes of the ilk of Loni Nest and Louise Henry (actress) that are being given legitimacy by mixing them in with genuine centenarians such as Mabel Richardson and Horacio Coppola. I know you were working with this issue off-Wikipedia, so I thought I'd bring this to your attention in case you wanted to pass it on. Canadian Paul 02:34, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
Nikkimaria (talk) 14:59, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi OscarLake, you added the death dates to the articles of Carlos Romero and Héctor Vilches Can you specify the sources for both dates? Kind regards, --NiTen (talk) 12:59, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
Like people who are editors, even set decorators, ect. I do know that these people are alive: Elmo Williams-editor, age 101,John B. Mansbridge-art director, age 97, Peter Berkos-Sound editor, age 92. But yeah it be a interesting list. (Which today a interesting case happened with this guy Hal Gausman, he was long featured as dead but I found some evidence that he was alive and born in 34 but then the German wiki says he died and was born in 1917, I have it on the talk page)
Oh and here is a guy I'm pretty sure is at least 90-John Poyner.
I have been moving quite a few in and out of the possibly living the past few days also.
Wgolf (talk) 00:48, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! I found quite a few that are 90 or that are close or might be. (One guy who was nominated for the first Star Trek movie in art direction has no age listed-but his picture on another site makes me think he is at least 80. While there is one guy who worked on Patton that is in his 90s!)

I need help with the Tracy Stratford article. Is there a WikiProject for the Twilight Zone that could help us? Paul Austin (talk) 10:07, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey Oscar. I added some more information about Shep Houghton at the Simple English. Do you think he is notable enough. I did some research and I found he is indeed notable (my opinion). I added more sources. Can you review it to see if I can create the article here? Thanks. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 02:01, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

You appear to have added someone's real name to the edit summary, which I've Oversighted. This is a violation of WP:OUTING - violations of this policy often end in a block, so I hope this won't happen again. Doug Weller (talk) 18:14, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello OscarLake,
I noticed that you created the article Barbara Perry and that you gave his birthdate to be June 22, 1923. But on the U.S.Census 1930 made in April 1930 she is 8 years old. And on an immigration document from Febuary 1941 they write that Barbara Perry from Norfolk, Virginia, is 19 years old and is born June 22, 1921. I believe that, like many others actresses from this era, she skipped some years to when entering Hollywood and that she is really born in 1921. Here is the document from 1941 that says she was born June 22, 1921 (you click on the document photo to view and on the "+" to enlarge to see better) -> https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24L8-5YS What did you think, my friend?

Hi there OL, from Portugal,
first of all, please accept my sincere apologies for the hysterical summary, 100% uncalled for. Now, for the technicality: you can ask at WP:FOOTY to see if i'm lying, but i can assure you (have been an editor for 11 1/2 years now) that if a player never appears in X/Y/Z league he will not get the league category, only the club one.

Hi there, all well?
Seeing what i saw in (for instance) Jonathan Viera, the following: please do not add the "Footballers from the Canary Islands" category to articles, it is considered (in this case) a sub-category for "Footballers from Las Palmas".
Happy editing! RevampedEditor (talk) 17:33, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
I see where you are coming from, totally. But it's the guidelines of the site that determine it. You can ask any football-linked admin for confirmation (i.e. :@GiantSnowman:). If i'm not seeing it correctly, then i apologise to anyone concerned.

Hi Oscar,
There is a user who formerly participated over at the 110 Club who would like to contact you but doesn't know how. Do you have an e-mail address that could be used to contact you and, if so, would it be OK (as in, not a violation of your privacy) for you to post it over here?
Also, as a side note, one of the users whom you talked with on the 110 Club talked about how they fantasized inflicting violence on the woman whom they impregnated and their resulting child if their bilateral epididymectomy plus radical scrotal vasectomy will ever fail after three successful/negative semen analyses and the woman involved will subsequently change her mind about both abortion and adoption as well as about never hunting them down for child support. The reason that they fantasize about inflicting violence on this hypothetical woman is pretty obvious–she's a swindler, after all! But the reason for inflicting violence on their hypothetical child, in their view, is to prevent their child from developing a superiority complex over children who are conceived through artificial insemination. After all, like many children conceived through artificial insemination (such as the twins conceived in the Ferguson v. McKiernan case), their hypothetical child would only ever be wanted by a single parent and yet, unlike children conceived through artificial insemination (such as, again, the twins conceived in the Ferguson v. McKiernan case), this hypothetical child would be entitled to financial support from both of their biological parents as a result of courts helping this child's swindler mother extract a huge cumulative amount of support of child support from this child's father for 18+ years. I fail to see how exactly this is not going to result in this hypothetical child developing a HUGE superiority complex over children who are conceived through artificial insemination, a superiority complex which unfortunately the former 110 Club user whom you have previously talked to believes can only be reduced by having this hypothetical child's father physically beat this child (with a belt, with a cane, with their hands and fists, et cetera) on a regular basis.
Do you have a better solution to this hypothetical situation, Oscar? After all, educating such a hypothetical child would be completely pointless and ineffective because the law and judges would always be on their side and on the side of their hypothetical swindler mother (who this former 110 Club user also believes deserves a good and thorough physical beating on a regular basis, if not even more than that). I'm asking this question is good faith, BTW. Is there actually any better solution to this problem/issue? 172.56.185.176 (talk) 03:09, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
