message: As part of this project, I randomly checked a few footnotes from this article.  Results were as follows:
#Footnote 4. "For the next two years Bana worked as a stand-up comedian, performing primarily in inner-city pubs, supporting himself by clearing tables at the Castle Hotel."
#*Iffy. From site: "Bana started his career doing stand-up spots at inner-city pubs, clearing tables in between."
#**Related fact, but doesn't mention the Castle Hotel or the duration of time.
#Footnote 17. "...but Bana's performance was received with positive reviews, such as one review from the New York Daily News claiming that although the character Bruce Banner is "dull", Bana plays the role "with great conviction"."
#*Iffy.  From site: "The best that can be said for newcomer Bana is that he plays a dull character with great conviction."
#**I wouldn't necessarily call that a "positivie review".
#Footnote 21(a). "Munich caused controversy and heated debates upon its release from both Israeli and Palestinian political leaders, who argued that the film did not take a political stance and humanized the members of Black September."
#*Problem. From site: "As it transpires, this long, tense thriller has managed to equally enrage members of the Israeli and Arab lobbies in the United States."
#**Nothing here about what arguments the two sides made.
#Footnote 25. "At the age of fourteen, Bana wanted to leave school to focus full-time on becoming a motor mechanic, but was convinced by his father to complete school, telling him that he should not make his hobby a job."
#*Checks out. From site: "No actually, I wanted to be a motor mechanic. I wanted to leave school at fourteen and go work on my car, and my dad said, "Don't do that, son." No actually my dad says, [Croatian/Australian accent] "Son, don't do that. Ahh, you should stay at school until your high school is finished, and when you finish, don’t make your hobby your job.""
#Footnote 32. "The film was created to raise awareness about an incurable facial cancer which threatens the survival of the species."
#*Problem.  From site: "Tasmania's devil, the largest marsupial carnivore left on earth, needs such enthusiastic friends. The alarming spread of an incurable facial cancer threatens the survival of the species, with more than a third of the island's devils wiped out in the past 10 years."
#**Nowhere in this article is it stated that the movie is about, or intended to raise awareness of, the cancer issue.
A number of problems here, mostly of the site-is-related-but-doesn't-directly-support-the-statement variety.  Someone needs to go through and clean this up (not only fixing these problems but also going through the footnotes I didn't check). --RobthTalk 21:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have gone through the references and have made some changes. The magazine references were all pretty much checked out, but the websites did have some problems. I have addressed these problems by re-working setences or by removing certain statements all together. -- Underneath-it-All 23:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation spot check

message: Does anyone have some kind of first-hand, reputable source that he is Catholic? I think he was married in a Catholic ceremony, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he himself is. Mad Jack 08:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I do believe he is Christian, but cannot confirm if he is Catholic or not. Good call on removing the cat. -- Underneath-it-All 14:06, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

text: There are also Orthodox and Muslim Croatians as far as I'm aware. Also, just because he is of one ethnicity, in Australia does not neccessarily mean he is of their dominant or even minority religions. Unless there is a reputable source around stating what religion he is, eg. in an interview, wikipedia shouldn't proclaim him to be something.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:16, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Catholic?

message: When I view the article, the infobox looks very small and it is hard to read. I was wondering if it was just my browser or if others see it that way too. If so how can we fix it? -- Underneath-it-All 14:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind...I think I have fixed it. -- Underneath-it-All 18:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I found that citation #22 does not work. I tried to renew it, but the website doesn't seem to carry the review anymore, so you'll probably have to delete that sentence.-Dark Kubrick 04:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to look for an alternative source, but have yet to find one. Following WPCITE, I have listed when the link went inactive and will keep it in the article because a print source does exist and the article may turn up on the internet archives in the near future. -- Underneath-it-All 14:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: No mention of his comedy CD 'Out of Bounds'?  I believe it was released in '94, the title track had a music video. Anyone have the tracklisting and cover art they can add? Metalion SOS 00:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should probably have its own article. -- Underneath-it-All 00:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a track listing and cover art etc here. The cover features Eric Bana's arse. It is an hour-long comedy CD about Australian Rules Football. Judging by the sample I have just heard it is a real laugh riot. -Ashley Pomeroy 22:11, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This page has clearly been vandalized.  I reversed some of the false information, but someone else should really take a look at it. 24.235.190.192 (talk) 00:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Since this is one of Bana's most recent films, it seemed odd to me that it isn't in the 2005-present section of the article. Not sure what others think.--Senor Freebie (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I definitly think it should be there, especialy in filmography table.--Beegees (talk) 02:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems unlikely that he "In school, he mimicked his teachers as a means to get out of trouble". To mimic a teacher would be a good way to get into trouble.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:27, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Mimicked his teachers as a means to get out of trouble"? 

message: "his family had suffered from racist taunts" - Races are: caucasian, asian, african, etc. There is no race like for "Eastern-European immigrants", so I don't really get how he could have got racist taunts. The usage of the word 'racist' is  only correct in this sentence, if he was constantly called a 'caucasian', but it's hard to imagine. Black kids encircled him and called him 'ugly white guy' or what? To call someone 'immigrant' or 'Eastern-European' is a bad thing, but definitely not racism, which is about races and not regions. 178.48.177.1 (talk) 07:40, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
