thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Montyhall.jpg

message: The article says that "Hall himself gave an explanation .. in an interview .. in 1991".  He also provided an explanation in 1975 which can be found in American Statistician 29(3): 134 (August 1975), in response to American Statistician 29(1): 67 (February 1975).

thread_title: Another person called Monty Hall

message: The real issue is what the MHP is. The answer given by MvS is incorrect for the problem as she stated it, and it is incorrect for the problem as Monty Hall interpreted it.
Now, Extended problem description does ask a question with particulars not given by MvS that cause the answer to be that given by MvS, but Monty Hall challenged MvS and demonstrated the fact that she was making unstated assumptions.

thread_title:  The elephant in the room 

message: I just wanted to note that their is a claim here that Monty Hall is a singer, yet their is no reference to any singing engagements or musical credits. While any such information might be lackluster, some expansion of detail should be included to support the claim. -- 71.234.219.9 (talk) 09:45, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Singer? 

message: Monty Hall's wife Marilyn Plottel is neither his "distant cousin" nor any other blood relative. The connection supposedly arises from the fact that Monty's mother Rose is first cousin to Norman Shnier, and Norman Shnier is second cousin to Marily Plottel. Trouble is, Norman is related to Rose thru his father and to Marilyn thru his mother. So there is no blood relationship at all between Monty and Marilyn. 2601:18E:C501:5FE2:7ACA:39FF:FEB2:EFCB (talk) 00:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Didn't marry a relative 

message: In the main article, there is a claim that Hall was denied admission to medical school due to secret quotas promoting Mormon students. The citation used [7] is a Canadian Press article written soon after Hall's death, and posted on the CBC website. The CBC article makes no mention of Mormon students. It actually says, "At the time, there was a secret quota system in place designed to severely restrict access to medical school for Jewish students. It ended shortly after Hall gave up on his dream". There ought to be a double citation here, or further information explaining the connection to Mormon students. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/monty-hall-dead-1.4315396  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.203.36 (talk) 15:54, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Hall's wife Marilyn Plottel was not his "distant cousin"…the reference you give is her obit and it says nothing about cousins. According to Hall, he was introduced to her by a "mutual cousin" Norman Shnier, who told him he had “another cousin on the other side of family, not related to you…" Here's the reference:   https://heavy.com/entertainment/2017/09/marilyn-hall-monty-wife-cause-of-death-cousin-dead-bio-lets-make-a-deal-host/  108.20.114.62 (talk) 19:55, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
