Year of death[edit]

There seems to be an error or vandalism concerning death. Which year of death is correct, 1972, as per the article intro, or 1974, as per the category? -- Longhair 13:34, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And the date of birth has similar errors I've just noticed. -- Longhair 13:36, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-cartoon work[edit]

I'm not certain where to put this but Stalling's work turns up in a feature or two. It's especially obvious in "The Horn Blows At Midnight"- the official composer is Franz Waxman but when the action becomes especially cartoonish (Jack Benny swinging fronm a flagpole over a street" a Stalling rendition of "Man on the Flying Trapeze" is playing.

Adapted material section[edit]

The material included in the "Adapted Material" subsection, while interesting and very generally correct, is far too broad and non-specific. While Stalling did most likely use each of these pieces in the ways listed here, who's to say that these are the only ways he used the materials? Also, this is not even close to an exhaustive list of adaptations, so why these particular listings? I suggest either the deletion of this entire subsection, or citations of shorts in which this material was used in the suggested ways. --Dr.Schumann72 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr.schumann72 (talk • contribs) 18:10, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The section's since been renamed to Borrowed material, but all of the problems noted above still remain. The section is devoid of even a single citation and appears to be a very clear case of WP:OR, so I've tagged it accordingly. Even ignoring those issues, I don't see how what's presented there actually belongs in this article. If anyone feels they can improve on the section by providing citations from reliable sources, they're welcome to do so. I am in agreement with Dr.schumann72 that the entire section is a strong candidate for deletion. – FeRD_NYC (talk) 05:05, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Granny's theme-Scott, or Mozart?[edit]

In the "Composing Style" section, we have the following statement:

"Raymond Scott's "In an 18th Century Drawing Room" is usually associated with Granny in the Sylvester and Tweety shorts..."

but there is no citation to support this. I don't think Granny's theme is Scott's "In an 18th Century Drawing Room", but rather, Scott's piece is derived from or inspired by Mozart's Sonata K. 545, just as Granny's theme is. Does anyone know of any sources to confirm either way?

Requested move 8 March 2018[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved as requested per the discussion below. Dekimasuよ! 03:18, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Carl Stalling → Carl W. Stalling – In the Merrie Melodies' cartoons that he composed the music for, he is credited on the title cards as Carl W. Stalling, the same goes for other cartoons that he has composed music for. So, it would be a benefits to move the page to that name. Thanks.

PS: Also, the requested name is also more common, then thus it's WP:COMMONNAME. Do the Danse Macabre! (Talk) 12:53, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. In the same manner that Cecil B. DeMille or Edward G. Robinson would not be indicated as "Cecil DeMille" or "Edward Robinson", the main title header of this article should also reflect the predominant form of subject's billing. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 18:32, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
