Talk:Arnold Schwarzenegger/Archive 3

message: He was born in the small town of Thal, Austria and not in Graz as the headline of the article says. It does already exist an article about Thal so it is not necessary to show the wrong birth place. Please correct this.

message: Arnold recently met with many hispanic leaders in the city of Los Angeles, he publicly stated that hispanics "need to turn of their spanish T.V." in order to learn english much faster and succeed in the United States. Spanish broadcasting organization Univision made a public statement showing their dissagreement with the governors statements. Many already predict that this run of events will eventually lead to a media frenzy in part of the spanish networks in search of hurting Arnolds political career much like in the case of Don Imus

Most notably TheArnoldFans.com (which i believe is in part endorsed by Schwarzenegger) and GlobalArnold.com. I personally do not believe that any website that holds up to the Google adsense guidelines or has far more content than adverts should be removed on the grounds as being a 'spam link'. 80.193.166.70 23:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

text: That Wiki article also says under what should be linked, 'Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as reviews and interviews'. I believe a site such as TheArnoldFans.com falls directly under this. Despite having a couple of ads per page, it is by no means a site 'that primarily exist to sell products or services', and its 'objectionable amounts of advertising' as far as I know has only been questioned by you personally.(80.193.166.70 23:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I suspect that the writers of the site's material are in fact genuinely interested in the products they seem to promoting, but it does seems there is a 'sales' agenda which I now appreciate violates the 'external link' rules.

message: Just as his bodybuilding career was beginning to take off, Schwarzenegger posed for a "physique" magazine in Great Britain in 1965-66 that was popular with gay men.  Although Schwarzenegger is not gay, he apparently was willing to show off his already massive muscular build for perhaps a small fee and to gain wider recognition.  The magazine where his photo appears is Male Classics, issue #36 (late 1965 or early 1966).

thread_title: Pornography

message: Hello ladies and gents. Took a bit of an interest in this article. I know its listed as a good article, but it needs a lot of work. I have actually added intresting info which adds and develops the article already - fully cited stuff. I aim to continue that, where relevant - so I will actively help. 
Take this section for example, it has not one citation, for a biograhpy of such a high-profile subject, this is all weasel words, right? I say that in good faith, it does seem to be a big problem. "His dad was a Nazi" - no citation??!! Maybe he was. But you know. Anyhow.
Following his arrival as a Hollywood superstar, he made a number of successful films: Commando (1985), Raw Deal (1986), The Running Man (1987), and Red Heat (1988). In Predator (1987), another successful film, Schwarzenegger led a cast which included future Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura (Ventura also appears in Running Man as well as in the film Batman & Robin which Schwarzenegger also starred in) and future Kentucky Gubernatorial Candidate Sonny Landham. Twins, (1988) a comedy with Danny DeVito, was a change of pace. Total Recall (1990), at that time the most expensive film ever, netted Schwarzenegger $10 million and 15% of the gross, and was, although violent, a widely praised, thought-provoking science-fiction script (based on the Phillip K. Dick short story We Can Remember It for You Wholesale) behind his usual violent action. Kindergarten Cop (1990) was another comedy. 
Raw Deal? A successful film? $16.2M (USA). Moderate flop, even in 1986. Red Heat? $35M (USA) Thats around 60-70 now? The Running Man? $38.1M (USA)? Its just someones opinion. Cobra made $49m for stallone in 86 - anyone ever seen it? He didnt really have a true $200m "blockbuster" until Twins in 88. Considering the guy and what hes done (controversially or not) - who gives a toss that Jesse Ventura was in Batman and Robin? And the running man? Who said Total Recall was "thought-provoking", i've read mixed reviews for that film in respected media etc, althought I would agree it was generally well-received at the time. Good strong citations are needed in line with policy. Of course i'll help, as I am doing. Lots of good stuff if you dig a bit. Whataboutbob 18:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The information taken from the official cite is either "basic facts" - or quotes taken from Arnold which have relevance to the section in question and have been checked for biasism etc. Most of the basic facts are taken from a section called "timeline", which does exactly that: it details basic facts and events through his life. Basic facts and a few very interesting quotes. If you take a small amount of time to look you will see this.

:His latest film appearances included a cameo (3 second) appearance in The Rundown (aka 'Welcome to the Jungle') with The Rock and the 2004 remake of Around the World in 80 Days, notable for featuring him on-screen with action star Jackie Chan for the first time. 
Schwarzenegger's acting career was put on hiatus after he won the 2003 California recall election on October 7, 2003.  His last appearance in a movie was in 2004's Around The World in 80 Days, which was actually filmed in 2003, before the recall election. I maintain that because of this fact, Schwarzenegger is no longer active as an actor.
Therefore, I am going to go ahead and undo the reversion of my revision by Yankees76. Please state any objections to my course of action below. Thank you!  Citizen Dick 11:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please provide a verifiable source that says he is no longer considered an actor - otherwise posting 2003 is original research. Is there a source that shows he is no longer a member of the Screen Actors Guild? A quote from Arnold saying he is finished with acting? His website makes no mention of him giving up acting. Because he's not filmed a movie since 2003 does not mean he's retired as an actor.  As per WP:BLP I'm reverting back until a source is posted. --Yankees76 15:49, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Being on hiatus" does not mean that Schwarzenegger has given up or quit acting. There are plenty of inactive actors who are still members of the Screen Actors Guild. It simply means that for the time being (while he is busy being the Governor of California), he is no longer active as an actor. That's all I was trying to illustrate with my edit. The actor infobox says "years active", and since he hasn't been active as an actor since 2003, I feel that the box should reflect this. If and when Schwarzenegger becomes active as an actor again, the infobox can be updated. Example: If Schwarzenegger returns to acting after his current term as Governor expires, the info box would read "Years active: 1970-2003, 2011-  ". What is wrong with that? I will not bother reverting your reversion of my revision of your reversion, as I do not wish to engage in an edit war with you, or be accused of being uncivil. Have a nice day!

replies: text: Those television shows which you cite are considered "reality shows", and most of the people who appear on them are not actors, but contestants. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a cameo appearance as himself in The Kid & I, so that cannot really be considered acting. Since you seem to be the self-appointed guardian of this article and you obviously object to any constructive edits to it, I'll let you have your way. I have no interest in conflict with someone who I believe is an unreasonable editor, and I do not wish to be antagonized or goaded into incivility. Citizen Dick 18:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Please assume good faith when editing Wikipedia. It's not my intention to be the "guardian" of any article. I'm simply asking you to provide reliable sources for your assertions, which is certainly not an unfair request. Since this is a biography of a living person it's important that the information is correct. This discussion is not about "letting" one editor or another have their way - it's about following Wikipedia rules and guidelines to create an accurate article. Saying that Arnold Schwarzenegger is no longer an actor because you don't consider his movie cameos/voiceover work or apperances on reality TV shows since 2003 as "acting", does not adequately satisfy Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and is therefore considered your own original research. Because it can be easily verified that Schwarzenegger has "acted in a dramatic production" and "worked in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity" (and has done so since he's become Governor) he is considered an actor. Since there is no Wikipedia consensus as to how long or even if a "hiatus" removes the designation of actor or not, to state he ceased being an actor in 2003 without this information being published by a reliable source, cannot be considered a constructive edit. --Yankees76 19:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok then, I will assume good faith and take your word for it that my edit to this article was not constructive. However, I have one question for you... If the criteria for being an "actor" is simply someone who has made a cameo appearance as himself in a movie and/or "worked in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity", then can't anyone who has appeared in said work can be considered an actor? Didn't former New York City mayor and current presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani appear as himself in a number of movies and make appearances on a number of radio and television shows? Can he now be considered an actor? By the way, I do appreciate your civil tone in  this discussion, and I was in no way implying that you are an "unreasonable editor". I was simply making a generalization, as I have had past conflicts with editors who have acted as though a wikipedia article which they have contributed to was their own personal property. I wanted to make it clear that I did not want to engage in an edit war or incivility with any editor, and I will not be goaded into doing so. Citizen Dick 10:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem. I don't think I've contributed enough to this article to make it my own though, however I have noticed that his article is a problem article when it comes to unsubstantiated material being posted in it (his height, his father's past, steroids, health scandals etc.) as well as random vandalism, so I've tried to keep an eye on it and remove anything that is obviously wrong or could be contentious. With regards to Guliani, that would be something that the community would have to come to a consensus on. I think Schwarzenegger is more comparable to Jesse Ventura with regards to a political figure being considered an actor or not, as both are known to be actors and that information is easily verifiable should a reader check for material that supports the content in question; whereas 'Guliani' and 'actor' is not easily linked when searching to verify such a claim. My personal opinion is that Guliani's acting resume is not notable enough to consider him an actor (his own Wikipedia entry makes no mention of any roles), and I don't beleive he would be a member of the SAG either. With regards to Schwarzenegger though, I beleive he is rumored to be doing voice work on the upcoming animated film Crood Awakening though I'm looking for a reliable source that confirms the cast. --Yankees76 13:00, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Political positions?

message: I don't know what the protocol is for Personal Life sections in Biographies of living people, but this section seems to divulge unnecessary levels of detail where family is concerned... Descriptions of the full names and schools of all children, in addition to a family mass schedule, seem to be an excessive level of information. 
This appears to be not only an issue of privacy, but also potentially an issue of safety, given that the mentioned children are those of a highly public politician AND international celebrity. In other articles about living celebrities, a simple list of the first names and birth years of children seems to suffice. perhaps that should be adopted here. 
This issue is also reflected at the page for Maria Shriver.

Mention it near the top of the article, or in a WP:TRIVIA section. Jidanni (talk) 20:16, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
