Greed

Hi. I'm trying to get Greed (film) promoted to FA again if you are interested in taking another look at it.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 01:56, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi again. I think that the FA review is winding down so I was just making one last attempt to see if you would renew your support of the articles promotion. Thank you for your previous support either way.--Deoliveirafan (talk) 20:37, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

Metro Goldwyn Mayer / Columbia Pictures

Lord of the Flies is distributed by Metro Goldwyn Mayer. [1][2][3][4]

Yes, @24.67.32.131: Lord of the Flies is currently distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In the late 90's, through acquisition, the film became part of extensive MGM home video library. In any list of films by studio (such as MGM) we include only movies produced or theatrically distributed by a particular studio (in this case it's a Columbia release).

Wikipedia email re Newspapers.com signup

Hello, El Matador. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

Hi El Matador, I just tried sending you an email message regarding signup for Newspapers.com. It contains a link to a short form you need to fill out, and a link to register at Newspapers.com. However, I got a "delivery failed" message: " SMTP error from remote mail server ..." Would you mind checking to see that the email address you have specified in your English Wikipedia Preferences is valid? Thanks! HazelAB (talk) 14:53, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, @HazelAB:, I've sent you an email. El Matador (talk) 13:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

I tried again. Please let me know if you didn't receive it. Thanks. HazelAB (talk) 13:42, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi again, @HazelAB: fortunately, I've received the message sent from your email address. I've successfully completed the registration and filled out the Google form. The failure arises apparenty from my email account setup. I will try to fix this later. Thank you very much for your patience. All the best, El Matador (talk) 14:18, 9 March 2015 (UTC).

Good, I'm glad you received it! Newspapers.com still has to activate your account before you have full access. That should be done later this week. Cheers, HazelAB (talk) 14:32, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

A preview of the POTD is displayed below and can be edited at Template:POTD/2022-09-25. If you have any concerns, please place a message at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day. Thank you!

James Stewart (1908–1997) was an American actor and military pilot. Known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona, Stewart's film career spanned eighty films from 1935 to 1991. With the strong morality he portrayed both on and off screen, he epitomized the "American ideal" in the mid–20th century. This publicity photograph of Stewart was taken for the 1948 film Call Northside 777.
