Talk:Danny Glover

message: FLASH: There's a #TwitterMurder rumor up tonight about Glover; the usual suspects should keep a closer than usual watch on the page, and be ready to semi-protect if necessary.  --Baylink (talk) 02:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: "Father"? Don't know if that is meant to be there, but it doesn't look like it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.146.137 (talk) 07:27, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Filmography 

message: It keeps popping up that Glover is a communist... I can find no reference for that, and I suspect people are just angry because of his association with Hugo Chavez. Please cite a source or stop it... WP is not your soapbox. --Grahamtalk/mail/e 17:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the claim is made because he has (small c) communist beliefs.  He apparently  is not a member of any (large c) Communist organizations.  It would be fair to say that Glover shares charistically communistbelief s, but some communist leaning quotes should be included. Angloguy 18:46, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't belong unless you are going to add "communist" to a million other bibliographical articles here starting with Moses and Jesus and including Thomas Jefferson and Hamilton based on some quotes one might interpret as "characteristically communist." 71.252.36.13 (talk) 13:24, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  communist 

message: OK, I can't find a single non-right-wing source of any criticism for Glover's appearance with Chavez. (Sure, FOX News dinged him, but they pretty much criticize everyone left of center.) If you want to make your "across the spectrum" claim, provide a citation. --Grahamtalk/mail/e 18:11, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on your perspective. For some people, anyone to the right of Mao is "right-wing." Check up on the raid on Caracas' only Jewish primary school by Chavez' SWAT team. The kids were held hostage for hours. Now the Jews are leaving Venuzuela in droves. But then, they're just little Zionists, right? Scott Adler 04:28, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What in the name of fuck does that have to with the question at hand?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.210.129.142 (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: First of all, your insistence that certain media sources are not fit to use in Wikipedia because they are "right wing" is biased. Your POV standards are not to be found in the rules for Wikipedia. Second, a simple Google search will pull up DOZENS of stories about Glover's relationship with Chavez. There are even pictures of the two men hugging, and all of Hollywood is aware of the $18 million Chavez has offered up to make Glover's film about the 1791 uprising in Haiti. Unless Time.com is "right wing," perhaps you could begin there?  http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1624992,00.html  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.226.142 (talk) 21:42, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  criticism for appearing with Chavez 

message: A user:Grazon recent removed Category:American anti Iraq War activists, citing that hes against all wars. furthermore he was been removing LOTS of people from there categories.Qrc2006 03:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of category/Dispute

message: There is a line in this wiki that states: 
"His role in this capacity and resulting interaction with Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez have drawn criticism for Glover from the conservative media."
Then it goes on to quote a Fox News Channel story. Firstly, Chavez' and Glover's relationship has drawn criticism from all media and secondly, Fox News Channel is not a conservative news channel, contrary to what some say.
Folks, please leave the editorials out when you edit a wiki.

thread_title: "Conservative media"?

message: Is there any attribution to Glover's membership or leadership in the "Black Students Union" of San Francisco State? It's a very, very serious charge and should be either attributed or removed. Scott Adler 23:17, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just found it here . I will put it (or a better reference) in the article soon. Garion96 (talk) 23:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The infobox says that he is still married though filed for divorce while the article says he is divorced.  neither has a citation.  If someone knows or can do a bit of searching this should be fixed.  -- Jieagles (talk) 19:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I've add a paragraph and a reference.  It seems appropriate.  He did say it.  It certainly seems like he would believe it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angloguy (talk • contribs) 00:19, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added "Sightings" 

message: Will soon move the article to the new title "Danny Glover (actor)".  this will reduce confusion with the footballer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Angloguy (talk • contribs) 13:19, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Change title to add  "(actor) 

message: This should be included in the brief description, but perhaps there is a better description than left leaning.  Angloguy (talk) 16:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed the sentence in the intro that said He is very active in and strongly supports what are usually described as left leaning political causes.  to say He is very active in and strongly supports various humanitarian and political causes. Gobonobo T C 19:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Described as left leaning 

message: Danny Glover couldn't possibly have played a grandfather in Song of the South, a 1946 film, because he was born in 1946. I'm removing it from the list. 97.115.132.174 (talk) 03:09, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect film role 

message: I seem to recall Danny Glover playing a role in a weird show (1 episode only) where he played a husband/father who somehow got to a parallel universe where everything was the same except the english language was all scrambled (for example, "cat" meant "Tuesday" or "bed" meant "hair"). The final scene had him reading a book to his kid and they were "learning" english together.
Anyone remember any of this or is this my own hallucination? I dont recall the name of the show and i didnt find anything like this here or on imdb.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.125.126.229 (talk) 14:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In this section, the references don't support the assertions of the article.  "However, the movie was not made and the money has not been returned, and the Venezuelan media has called for Glover to explain what he did with the money" - the "Venezuelan media" refers to Maduradas, which credits La Patilla.  Neither is a reliable source, (see here: Maduradas home page, translated to English and  the (unattributed) La Patilla story is about President Madura NOT asking Danny Glover to return the funds he was allegedly given. ((translated to English)   This doesn't constitute "the Venezuelan media."  The only other references to Glover receiving and/not returning the funds is from an unattributed AP story in the Daily NewsLatino.  I couldn't find the article on the AP site, anywhere; even if I had it would defy logic.  If Danny Glover had taken $18 million from the Venuzuelan government to produce a film that was never made and did not return the money it would be a huge story, and the only sources for it would not be those previously mentioned.JSFarman (talk) 18:46, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
