Poll Suggestion: Busby Berkeley — Musical Choreographer

Busby Berkeley (1895 – 1976) was an American film director and groundbreaking musical choreographer.

Berkeley devised elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns.

Berkeley's works used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances.

Which is your favorite Busby Berkeley movie?

...put what you took directly from Wikipedia and put it into quotation marks I don't understand like this??? "Busby Berkeley (1895 – 1976) was an American film director and groundbreaking musical choreographer." "Berkeley devised elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns." "Berkeley's works used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances. "(Source: Wikipedia)

Hi Mario, Ideally, you could do something like this: According to Wikipedia, Berkeley "devised elaborate musical production numbers that often involved complex geometric patterns" and his "works used large numbers of showgirls and props as fantasy elements in kaleidoscopic on-screen performances." The most important thing, however, is that Wikipedia is cited as the source and you've done that. : ) (Oh and "Busby Berkeley (1895 – 1976) was an American film director and groundbreaking musical choreographer" doesn't really need quotes or a citation because it's just basic information that many people could write in the same way.)

ok, it's ok then. I like to break paragraphs into single lines/"thought crumbs". I think it is easier to read in small screens.
