Play: I think plays should have something like 'Subjects'

2008-05-15T19:15:15.0007Z

The type "Written Work" has a property "Subjects", so I'd suggest that "Written Work" be added as an Included Type of "Play". I'm surprised it isn't already.

Plays should probably be co-typed as written works to get the subject property. Actually, I had originally intended to refactor them into written work when we refactored the publishing domain, but I seem to have omitted it.

An example is "Alma" which is based on a famous Austrian woman Alma Mahler-Werfel and would could have as a subjects:

Biography, Alma Mahler-Werfel, Sanitorium ?

Into a Film and a Broadway musical play.

Theater Character: Add Fictional Character as an included type

That would seem to make sense, yes. Consider it done.

Shouldn't Fictional Character be an included type of Theater Character?

Alan Jay Lerner: Still marked for deletion?

I don't think this topic should be deleted, unless someone can post a valid reason for it.

Merge, don't delete.

Picasso at the Lapin Agile: De-typed as film

2008-03-07T20:02:27.0012Z

There was film data attached to this, which I removed. First, this isn't the topic if there were a film. Second, there appears to be no film on record for this work -- not at IMDB or any other source.

William Shakespeare: Shakespeare is not a Location, Film Character, or TV Character!

2007-11-12T20:31:05.0012Z

Hi, I've removed the Location type from this topic and I see that Gordon has done the same with various fictional character types that were added to Shakespeare. At the risk of sounding silly, may I just say that people are never Locations. Real people, alive or deceased, should not be typed Film Character, TV Character or any other fictional character types.

The correct way to model a "Shakespeare" character in a film or TV show is to create a Fictional Character with the same name, link it to the fictional work that applies, then indicate the name of the real person based on whom the character was designed in the "Based on" property of Fictional Character. The real Bard himself (along with other people who exist or existed), on the other hand, should be typed Person Or Being in Fiction instead.

By Jeeves: Merge...

This topic's article, which lacks Wikipedia attribution, seems nonetheless to be copied from the same Wiki source as the "By Jeeves" play. Please merge if both have value.

My Fair Lady: Ignore my split flag

2007-09-07T04:35:31.0005Z

I inadvertently marked this for split because it was marked as a Film. Only after I marked it for a split, did I find that there is an existing My Fair Lady Film, so I just detyped this one, leaving it as a play.

Hello, Dolly!: Splits

This should be split into three topics -- play, film, theater production.

You can flag topics like this (i.e., one topic containing data for two or more different persons or things) by clicking the little arrow or triangle to the right of the topic's title and selecting "split into multiple topics". I did it already for Mr. O'Keefe.

Laurence O'Keefe the rock musician (member of Jazz Butcher, Levitation and Dark Star) and Laurence O'Keefe the musical composer (Bat Boy: The Musical, La Cava, and Legally Blonde: The Musical) are two different people.
