William Horsley linkage wrong

edit

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Horsley links to the wrong William Horsley.

Any idea if there is any way to check if the correct page was ever made? Kid Bugs (talk) 23:21, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for catching that. I've changed the link to William Horsley (filmmaker), which is currently un-created. There is a biography of his brother, David Horsley, which mostly concerns their shared business. Perhaps a paragraph on William could be added there, if we have any information on him, and the link could be redirected there.   Will Beback  talk  23:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

First film studio in Los Angeles?

edit

I was under the impression that Nestor was the first film studio in Hollywood and in Los Angeles. Someone has written that it is not. I am not arguing with that premise; information on this topic on the internet is all over the place. I just want to know: If not Nestor, what film studio was first in LA?
