Faster, Pussycat! Year! Year!

Hi, Prophecy-- Yes, I agree we definitely don't want any more columns in the filmography listings. Actually, as far as commercial links, my References serve that purpose, though Boobpedia isn't getting any benefit from this, I guess. Also, I doubt many BP-users would even be able to use those site-- Most Japanese retailers don't ship overseas. Thanks for catching the template goof-- I sometimes work too fast, at night, sleepy, and drinking, and am not as careful as I should be :-) I do go back and review my work constantly, so I'd have probably caught the mistakes eventually. About the Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill! year, though, I suspect 1966 is the correct date from the print source. I know IMdB and Wiki say 1965, but this would mean that Motorpsycho and Faster Pussycat were released the same month-- highly suspicious, as I know that Motorspsycho was sort of a rehearsal for Faster Pussycat... Some pretty reliable websites like THIS say 1966. I'll hold off on changing it back though until I'm home tonight and can check the print source. I say, if the print source says '66, that's what we're using for our source, and that's the year we should use... (Wouldn't it be nice if we are more accurate than Wiki on this? That's what they get for driving away editors who really have an interest in content instead of Wiki-politics ;-) Dekkappai 15:22, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

Hey, wait-- I think I have access to contemporary Variety reviews and the AFI Catalogue-- I'll check them later and let them decide the year. Cheers! Dekkappai 15:26, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

Strange... I think I had August 1966, right? But here's what I find:

• MOTOR PSYCHO

  Hollywood Reporter v.186 n.45 , 13 August 1965, p.3

• FASTER, PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL!

  Hollywood Reporter v.189 n.20 , 08 February 1966

  Variety 09 February 1966

Which would indicate Motorpsycho was released in Aug '66, and Pussycat in Feb '66... And Faster Pussycat says released in '65, copyright '66... I'll try to dig up the original sources and check what they say. Dekkappai 15:39, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

Ah HA! Faster Pussycat was given an L.A. showing on Aug 6, 1965, and then released nationally on Feb 1, 1966. (I assume, but have no evidence, that the L.A. showing was a pre-release viewing, and that more post-production was done before the '66 release... Dekkappai 15:51, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

Swiss

While I was looking at the biobox of a few people. I noticed "Swiss" is a red link. But when I look at the Swiss category page. Their names are on the category. Sort of odd don't you think? I remember you were redirecting nationalites awhile ago. Maybe that was it? Apara 20:23, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

Tango II (bra)

Sure-- I read it last night. I'll see if I can touch it up quickly. Cheers! Dekkappai 09:25, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

OK, done-- feel free to alter anything if I've inadvertently changed the meaning. :-) Dekkappai 09:32, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

By the way-- there were no real errors in what you wrote, I just made minor style adjustments, but the article as you wrote it was perfectly fine... "Distribution" does imply a distributor / company, I think... Maybe just "Models who wear... ?" Dekkappai 13:05, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

I'll think it over today and let you know if I come up with any possibilities... Oh-- I double-checked the print source I'm using on the Meyer films, and they agreed with the AFI & original years. Looks like we're right and IMDb/Wiki is wrong :-) Dekkappai 13:33, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

Oh, one more thing-- about the question of whether to include non-busty and/or male actors in the "starring" field of the film infobox: How about this: We only put the featured busty actresses in the infobox "Starring" field, but then we have a separate "Cast" listing within the film article which lists everyone-- actors & actresses, with their role names, if known. I'll try to get started on this with the Meyer films tonight. Dekkappai 14:18, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

No ideas on the bra list yet... I came across this little bit that may help with the Japanese bras, if it doesn't tell what you already knew: http://www.gijo.org/main/faq#faq3, and http://www.gijo.org/main/faq#faq4 Dekkappai 00:00, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

Problems with Uschi's filmography

Hi, Prophecy. I was just trying to work on Uschi Digard's filmography, and came across a couple problems. I've got the best version I was able to put together saved at User:Dekkappai\Uschi.

1. First and foremost-- is a filmography this large, all templated, an abuse of Templates, and will it cause server problems? And if it is, what do we do with large filmographies?
2. If I include the film Up! in the filmography, it messes up anything that comes below it-- all the film templates display as text "template" all squished into one box. If I put the film at the top of the list though, it works OK...
3. This filmography has several "protect" links to commercial affiliates. I put these all under the "notes", and they worked fine in Preview mode, but BP won't let me save it, saying I'm trying to alter or remove Protected text. The only way I was able to save it in my workspace was to totally remove the links... Dekkappai 02:40, 8 August 2008 (EDT)
