Orphaned references in Howard Ashman

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Howard Ashman's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "time":

  • From YouTube: Cloud, John (December 16, 2006). "The Gurus of YouTube". Time Magazine. Retrieved November 29, 2008.
  • From Roger Miller: "The Unhokey Okie". Time. May 5, 1965.
  • From Aladdin (1992 Disney film): Richard Corliss; Patrick E. Cole; Martha Smilgis (1992-11-09). "Aladdin's Magic". Time. Retrieved 2007-03-16. Chuck Jones' verdict is judicious: Aladdin is "the funniest feature ever made." It's a movie for adults – if they can keep up with its careering pace – and, yes, you can take the kids. It juggles a '90s impudence with the old Disney swank and heart.
  • From William Finn: Henry, William A."The Quirky William Finn"Time Magazine, May 11, 1992

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 00:50, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]


The citation of the Jeffrey Katzenberg claims under Tribute

[edit]

The citation of the Jeffrey Katzenberg claims under Tribute, I found it on documentary Disney : Howard Ashman Tribute. And at 2':19 Jeffrey Katzenberg was recorded to remark similar things on a Youtube channel of this docu. But I don't know how to do the citation on wiki. Hope someone can help.

Undid unwarranted marriage reference

[edit]

I took the liberty to undo the unwarranted addition of a marriage reference: I can see no point to it. I wonder what the anonymous editor meant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teknico (talkcontribs) 08:24, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Songs

[edit]

Various IPs have continued to add songs from "Zeus and Roxanne" to the list of "Best Known Works". The item has been reverted, with a request for WP:RS. I note that Ashman died in March 1991 and the Zeus and Roxanne film was released in 1997. Appears to be a case of WP:EDITWAR . Flami72 (talk) 13:55, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Flami72: I think it WP:SNEAKY vandalism by various IP socks of one editor deliberately adding info well-known to be false, as you have basically proven. Checking edits shows doing same to other composer articles adding bogus credits. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:27, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be dubious of any edits by this IPv6 and by 47.20.120.70 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is currently blocked for same and share geo location. Geraldo Perez (talk) 18:38, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Burkina Faso

[edit]

The article is categorized Category:American expatriates in Burkina Faso, but I can find no such mention in the article. I am not challenging the inclusion, but it might be interesting for some information on the point to be added beyond just a category mention. - Gilgamesh (talk) 09:27, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Change the partner info box

[edit]

Can i change the Bill Lauch (1984–1991) to Bill Lauch (1984–death) because it makes it seem like Bill is dead when he actually isn't dead Chefs-kiss (talk) 10:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

added personal life information

[edit]

Added extensive information Howard Ashman's personal life, mostly focused on the information regarding his partners. Much of it is sourced from the documentary Howard (film) Chefs-kiss (talk) 14:30, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography

[edit]

Why does the "Filmography" section of the article list things that were strictly stage productions?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pagalloway (talkcontribs) 01:23, 5 July 2021(UTC)

@Pagalloway: I'm not sure since there is no rational in the talk page. I am not sure about the procedure since technically he adapted only 4? I will look into it. It is a good point. Also please sign your contributions to the talk pages. thank you! Chefs-kiss (talk) 21:39, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Upstate New York?

[edit]

The Personal Life section currently says that Howard and Stuart moved to "upstate New York" after completing the grad program at Indiana University (which would have been around 1974), but I think that's incorrect -- everything I've seen indicates that they moved directly to New York City. Could that maybe be a conflation with Howard's later plans to move to upstate New York with Bill (in the late 1980s)? Mattymatt (talk) 02:01, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right. His job at Grosset & Dunlap Publishers seems to place him in NYC. I haven't seen anything about him being in upstate NY during that time. Jak86 (talk)(contribs) 03:35, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
