Talk:Lee Majors

message: According to Biography.com, Majors didn't find out he had been adopted by relatives until his teenage years, when he found a bundle of newspaper clippings related to his parents' deaths. I also recall reading somewhere that he kept that a secret because he was afraid that his aunt and uncle wouldn't love him the same if they knew that he had discovered the truth. Is this a rumor, and therefore not included? Or is it being omitted for some other reason?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.235.228 (talk) 05:03, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Facts About His Adoption Missing

message: *Though the complete biography of Majors which was recently posted was much appreciated, it needed a great deal of copyediting, some of which I have just done.  It still needs a good polish and more than a few tweaks.  I'll work on it some more at another time if no one else steps up to the bat.  Sir Rhosis 19:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Terrible article

message: The article states that Majors was BORN Harvey Lee Yeary, Jr.  Fine, no problem.  Except, his father is listed as Carl Yeary.  Yes, Major's parents both died soon after his birth, and he was adopted by his uncle Harvey Lee Yeary, Sr.
Is it not more likely that Harvey Lee Yeary, Jr. is Majors' ADOPTED name.  You don't normally add a Jr. to the name of someone you are naming after your brother.  So what is on his original 1939 fresh-from-the-maternity war birth certificate?
A guess on my part.  He was named for his uncle Harvey.  When he was adopted by Uncle Harvey, people informally began calling him "Junior" or "Harvey, Junior" to differentiate the two.  So, perhaps, the "Jr" is not technically part of his true name. Sir Rhosis 07:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I *think* (but am still looking for reliable sources) that you are right that he was probably named after his uncle Harvey, and people called him "Jr." (either before he was adopted, when he was simply around his uncle, to differentiate, or after he was adopted). http://www.netglimse.com/celebs/pages/lee_majors/index.shtml says his birth name was Harvey Lee Yeary II, not Jr., which would make sense if he was named after an uncle.

message: I removed a long section which tried (I think) to detail Richard Anderson's invovlement in the 6 Mil revivial films.  It went nowhere, said little about Majors except that he refused to ride a bike for blind kids in England... or something like that.  Sir Rhosis 19:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Men From Shilo 

message: It's a shame that this article has been tagged as needing references for a long time and no references have ever been added. I stumbled upon this article in the course of looking into some other things and noticed this. Additionally, as has already been stated, the article could use some attention in many areas. I will do what I can to help out. I think we have to be really careful about the lack of references. Esp. in the "Health" section. Hananekosan (talk) 16:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I find it shocking that there's not a single mention of his spousal abuse toward Farrah Fawcett in this article. It'd be a bit like having an article on Bobby Brown or Ike Turner without mentioning their abusive behavior. Anyone care to fix this? 68.50.224.118 (talk) 07:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No mention on Farrah Fawcett's page either. Therefore I'm not sure it's an issue... However you can feel free to make an addition as you see fit. Ckruschke (talk) 20:28, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just thought I would mention that such an addition would require extremely reliable sources and cites.  Sir Rhosis (talk) 02:22, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

text: Must say that I am leery about Talk Pages being used to advance uncited criminal allegations of any type.  Will probably bring this to the attention of an Admin.  Sir Rhosis (talk) 19:08, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
