Ken is the one who keeps removing the content - and I left the content off for many MONTHS while waiting for opinions from others on this issue. Finally after many MONTHS I noted that no one had voted for its removal other than Ken. One person (Ken's friend) had voted for its retention, after being
683:
Unfortunately, that's not accurate. US copyright law in 1969 was for 95 years, so the screenplay's copyright doesn't expire until 2064. You're thinking of the 28 years of copyright for works created between 1923 and 1963, if not renewed for an additional 28 years (and those extensions were virtually

I see nothing wrong with inclusion of a reference to a movie's usage of this landmark, and it provides something else that is lacking from the few Ken contributions I viewed - context. In any case, given that content should be removed with great deference, it should not be up to one man what sort of

I reposted the material without the footnote, for now. Ken is simply puerile and wants anything that he has written on
Knowledge to remain unchanged and that is not the way Knowledge works. BTW the copyright rules for material from 1969 was for a 28 year original term, with a generally automatic

I am a regular volunteer at the Third

In the 1969 Academy Award winning movie "Midnight Cowboy," Dustin
Hoffman's character Ratso Rizzo tells Joe Buck (Jon Voigt) that he can reach him at the "Sherry-Netherlands Hotel" after setting up a con job in which Joe is burned and Ratso, who is squatting in a condemned building and could never

488:
I agree with the above editor who, granted is a friend of mine, but has valid points. The primary point being - that anything relevant remains in
Knowledge, and this content is certainly relevant. I want to emphasize again that the default on Knowledge as to relevant content is that it remains
374:
I am an outsider asked to discuss this matter. I am not the editor trying to insert this content. First of all, my understanding of wikipedia is that by default content should remain unless irrelevant. This content is clearly relevant. Furthermore, it adds something that is lacking from this and
760:
the standard in
Knowledge is that it is the obligation of the editor seeking to introduce material to obtain consensus for doing so. I see no consensus for inclusion here. At best there is 3-1 support, and actually more like 2-2, but the arguments made by the opponents about it being a remote,
839:
BTW: it is common to reference movies' connections to physical landmarks: EXAMPLE: in the
Knowledge article on the Montbleu (formerly's Caesar's Tahoe) hotel casino, it is mentioned that "MontBleu and the Horizon appeared as the Nomad Hotel in the 2007 film Smokin' Aces."
590:, impoverished con man Ratso Rizzo claims to live at this hotel" with the ref, might be suitable since it offers no judgement. However, I notice that the movie article doesn't mention the line, whose dramatic purpose is to reveal the character's petty pretentiousness.
301:
Since at least one editor has difficulty with the statement that the hotel was developed by
Charles Pierre, and the statement is unsourced, Ive removed it from the article. It shouldn't be re-added unless there's a citation from a reliable source to back it up.
585:
I am much more in agreement with my long-time friend and collaborator, that being mentioned in the movie makes at most a faint connection to the hotel. Such a connection certainly doesn't rate a whole paragraph here. Compromise language like "In the film

So two people on here believe my post should remain as is, one says it should go, and one believes it should remain but be reduced in length. Overwhelmingly in favor then of retention.

This "Ken" article is noted as a STUB which means it is lacking in all respects and screams out for more content. And now that more has been submitted, Ken is trying to delete it.

Ken is obviously a valued Knowledge member with many contributions. His time would be best spent writing fresh material rather than worrying about deleting others' content.
