message: I know I saw Alan Young in Finian's Rainbow when I was young.  Surely he was in other plays but I see no mention of live performances.  I'm sorry, I'm new to this Wikipedia editing thing, but here's a newspaper story about the play:  http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SS19640806.2.87

thread_title:  Plays? 

message: I wanted to ask this question first before I start changing and editing this article. Was he really married three times, because I've been doing research on google, I keep on typing in "Alan Young spouse" and it keeps saying he was married to his second wife "Virginia McCurdy" from 1948 until her death in 2011, I can't find no other evidence or source that he's been married three times, and a "Mary Chipman" source too. I even found an old photo of him and his wife Verginia in 1998 with Larry Jones at the VH1 Tech Emmy Awards in 1998. So I still kinda think he didn't divorce her in 1995, because this photo I found of them in 1998, it kinda proves he didn't and never divorced her in 1995. FrozenFan2 (talk) 02:19, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The article mentions in passing that he's been voicing Scrooge McDuck since 1975, but then, like many other sources, only mentions 1983's Mickey's Christmas Carol as the earliest time. Since beside his role on Mr. Ed he's probably best known as the voice of Scrooge, I think the article should mention in what exact work he voiced him back in 1975. --2003:71:4E6A:C982:49DB:A8DE:C120:7EBE (talk) 04:51, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Support split - List of works takes up close to one half of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled List of works by Alan Young. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:10, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? Since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, I don't see any reason to remove relevant information. Why not split the larger list and leave a list of selected works here? -- Irn (talk) 17:55, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is also not an indiscriminate collection of information. As Textorus said above there's no reason for readers to have to jump to another article, just so people can see he played a guest role in a random episode. This isn't IMDB. — Wyliepedia 21:44, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: What makes this indiscriminate? Just because there's a lot of it? How do you know readers aren't looking for the guest role he played in a random episode? Why should we exclude this information - information which is relevant to the subject of the article? I don't see how "This isn't IMDB" is a valid argument. -- Irn (talk) 19:58, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed split of "List of works by Alan Young" 

message: Some time ago, his infobox included a third wife - Mary Chipman. According to the edits, Alan Young and Virginia McCurdy had divorced in 1995, and he was briefly married to Chipman from 1996 until 1997). I thought that this was pure vandalism until I came across this imdb forum discussion - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0949241/board/thread/204038691 (jump to the comments made by pdbrat). These may easily be discarded as unreliable because they are forum comments. However, if this man/woman really is a friend of a relative of Alan Young's, then it's a different story.
Does anyone have any information on his divorce from Virginia McCurdy and his brief marriage to Mary Chipman? Radiohist (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: There are some obits coming out from more reliable sources that seem to confirm this. I included the AMNY one, but I'm not sure how reliable it is because the author is supposedly Reuters, but this information is not found in the Reuters article. However, at the very least, the Washington Post names Chipman as an ex-wife and mentions the he and McCurdy divorced. -- Irn (talk) 00:23, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
