Talk:Wallace Beery

message: Sorry for the unexplained rollback reversion--I hit the wrong button and couldn't stop it.  But the edits which I reverted were changes to useful and properly styled material, none of which needed changing.  Certainly eliminating the references to the Beerys' brother William was non-helpful.  Jean Harlow doesn't need to be referred to by her full name every time she's mentioned in the same paragraph.  And edits which merely switch one word for a synonym for no particular advantage are unnecessary. Monkeyzpop (talk) 07:48, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I seem to rememeber that a certain style of men's shirt, one with a full column of buttons but no collar, was called a "Wallace Beery shirt."  Last time I heard that reference, however, was in the 1960s. WHPratt (talk) 12:46, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The text in the article mentions unspecified "U. S. Census records" as evidence of birth parentage. The Census is not a birth record, and cannot be used as evidence of biological or adoptive parentage. Birth or adoption records would provide evidence, but census records don't provide any evidence at all, of actual parentage.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.250.135 (talk) 17:05, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: True.  However, census records are highly suggestive of parentage in some cases and can be useful in the absence of more definitive records.  As census records indicate that Noah and Wallace Beery's parents were married to each other prior to the birth of either child and were still married to each other following the birth of the younger child, it is highly indicative that the two sons are of the same parentage.  Even actual birth records are merely records of what the recording agencies are told.  I daresay quite a few official birth records have the names of fathers who had little to do with the conception of that child.  Barring something more concrete, census records are the only citable data available that suggest with any substance other than hearsay what the state of Noah and Wallace Beery's parentage was.  I agree, however, that the actual records should be cited.Monkeyzpop (talk) 03:16, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Beery's Sea Bass

message: There seems to be confusion among various sources as to the birth location of both Wallace Beery and his brother Noah. A source I've found to be highly reliable on multiple articles (Dictionary of Missouri Biography, Lawrence O. Christensen, University of Missouri Press, 1999) says they were born not in Kansas City, but in rural Clay County, Missouri on the family farm not far from Smithville, Mo.  Since Clay Co. is now heavily populated and part of the K.C. Metro perhaps thats the reason for the ambiguity. Unless proof positive to the contrary is presented I feel we should leave it as Clay County, as I've recently changed to. Sector001 (talk) 08:52, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I corrected the spelling of Ann (which is without an "e" in newspaper articles at the time) and added more info from a news article where Beery stated he didn't go through formal adoption proceedings. Clockster (talk) 09:51, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: THANKS Clockster! Good work diggigng up more info on the child. When I did some revisions last year I really struck out finding much info about her. Maybe someday she'll resurface (born in the 30s it's possible she's still alive) and will give an interview or something with info about her time with Beery, what bcame of her in later years, etc. One can hope anyway. Have a great Wiki kinda day! Sector001 (talk) 14:59, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
