Talk:Patrice O'Neal

message: I moved the page because his last name was mispelled.  It was spelled as "O'Neal" but it should've been spelled "Oneal".  He stated this on a recent episode of Opie and Anthony (today is 01/09/2006).  If you visit his website, it is also spelled Oneal. -Weters 21:20, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: On his website, you can read it in big letters as O'Neal. Added to the x times of O'Neal in the bio on his site, you can trust it is written with an apostrohe.--Mideal (talk) 13:13, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi,
yesterday I deleted an external link from this article's page. It was a link to the page http://tilzy.tv/ . Specifically the tilzy-page on this article's topic. I came to the idea of deleting those links as such a link was also added to Ze Frank's wikipedia page, and I expected that there wouldn't be much new information on such an external site, as Ze Frank's show ended more than half a year ago.
I got a mail now by one of the founders of tilzy.tv. He explained to me relatively convincingly that he didn't post the link, and that he thinks of his site as adding extra information.
Whether or not we re-add this link should probably be based on Wikipedia:External_links. 
I am actually not sure whether tilzy.tv is a
 Sites that contain neutral and accurate material that cannot be integrated into the Wikipedia article due to copyright issues, amount of detail (such as professional athlete statistics, movie or television credits, interview transcripts, or online textbooks) or other reasons.
Does someone else know this site?
My main concern was, that there should be several sites that aggregate links to vlogs. Even several sites that aggregate links and add write a small review about them. So I wasn't sure whether tilzy.tv is in someway special or provided better information.
Could maybe someone post his/her opinion on that, so we can decided whether or not to include the links to tilzy.tv.
Thanks, -- JanCK (talk) 09:57, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to a review site 

message: Guys, this article is in dire shape. Basic pieces of information conflict (e.g., it says in one place that Oneal was born in New York, and in another place that he was born in Boston), almost none of it is sourced, there are unverifiable claims and some of the info seems to have been fabricated out of whole cloth (Oneal neither got a degree from Northeastern nor played football there). Unless someone is monitoring this page and wants to clean it up, I'm gonna do a heavy edit. Babajobu (talk) 23:07, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Yikes 

message: I removed the two conflicting statements about his place of birth. I can't find a reliable secondary source that settles where he was from. Better to have neither place in the article than both. If anyone knows of a source for this, please edit the article accordingly or refer me to it. Babajobu (talk) 03:17, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthplace? 

message: I removed the following unsourced material, which is likely false:
A high school football player, he was recruited to play for the Northeastern University football team, but quit football to study theatre arts and pursue stand-up comedy. He graduated from Northeastern with a Bachelor's. Babajobu (talk) 03:26, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I think he did an extensive interview on Marc Maron's podcast, WTF.   Would that be a valid source of information, or would everything need to be posted as quotes?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.87.201.168 (talk) 12:44, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh,no. Marc Maron is not a source,and if he did give a interview it would have to be quoted.--99.177.248.92 (talk) 20:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced and dubious statements 

message: Okay, I'm moving ahead with the deletions again, removing all unsourced, conflicting, dubious, and promotional-sounding material. People will be googling him today, and the article as is doesn't reflect well on Wikipedia. Babajobu (talk) 15:09, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subject of article is in the news 

message: Previous page title was incorrect, he's only occasionally credited as Oneal, and this is not how he spells his own name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babajobu (talk • contribs) 01:29, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is incorrect. His legal name is Oneal. In the last two years he changed it to O'Neal on his website, but if you look at his old site or The Patrice Oneal show, it's written Oneal. He's discussed this on-air as well. I would recommend moving it back.Frogacuda (talk) 01:43, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmmm...the wikipedia article is one of the few sources online that spell it Oneal. But okay, I'll take your word for it and change it back. Babajobu (talk) 01:48, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, he changed over a few years ago. Here's his old site: http://web.archive.org/web/20070115021310/http://www.patriceoneal.com/about.htm. This also settles the place of birth thing. There are other ways to verify his name that are probably best not used as wiki sources, especially at the moment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frogacuda (talk • contribs) 02:08, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Moved article to Patrice O'Neal 

message: Conflicting info here. Says at top died yesterday, in body says died a week after stroke in October Cookiehead (talk) 18:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Article is changing rapidly today.  Most of the sources that list a specific date say "Monday night", ie: 11/28.  I don't see anything about a 'week after the stroke' at all currently. DP76764 (Talk) 18:48, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: patriceoneal.com states "this morning at 7:00am" which conflicts with "monday night" at least. 98.229.223.5 (talk) 21:33, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed it does.  I'm sure this will sort itself out given enough time though.  That's a pretty good source though. DP76764 (Talk) 22:21, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Official website and other official source updated. Nov 29 at 7:00 AM is correct. Let's stabilize this. Frogacuda (talk) 15:18, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Death date

message: Patrice has talked a lot about his relationship with Vondecarlo Brown, and how he gave her a ring and allowed her to claim him as a husband, but I'm fairly certain they were not married in any official capacity. Is there a good way to reconcile this, and if they were not legally married how should she be referred to in the article?Frogacuda (talk) 20:58, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
