Talk:Brendan Ford

message: It occurred to me that there might be newspaper reviews verifying Ford's performances. I've listed those where he plays the lead in repertory theatre. 
Someone named 'Brendan Ford' played a small part in a locally written and produced play in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in 1990. Possibly this is Ford at the beginning of his career, but more likely is another person altogether. If Mr. Ford should read this, he is welcome to verify the information or to remove this entire paragraph.

Talk:Brigitte Kahn

message: I'm putting this here, since the editor who wrote it has been indefinitely blocked.
I tried searching for sources backing this up, but found essentially nothing.
In fact, the only thing I found was perhaps the complete opposite of what's being claimed on the page. As far as I can see, the only real notability Kahn has is from her appearance as only [one out of] three women characters (not named Leia) in Star Wars. 
Remember, Star Wars is so unfathomably huge, that even a very small one-line role (such as Kahn's) can bring far greater notability than many complete tv shows.
Editing to reflect this now. Feel free to further improve, especially information on her other work. CapnZapp (talk) 09:49, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I don't need to tell you this, but just to be safe: there are plenty of sources out there who use the exact same language as this page (did). Be sure to not use a source that only leads back to Wikipedia. In fact, googling "Brigitte Kahn" makes for a good example of how an editor back in the 2000s could essentially create truths simply by writing it on Wikipedia - now a decade later, that "information" has been disseminated to many corners of the internet, some even semi-reputable.

message: Really, this article is one-liners about eye colors, and a lengthy description of some "Peter Frost" theory. It does not match the topic at all, focusing on a single theory at a single point in history. Which seems to focus on... hair color???
Is this theory something that is accepted by the scientific community at large? I keep feeling like I'm reading some blatant sexism/racism here: "Blondes are more beautiful!". Wrapped into a scientific theory, sure, but still feeling a little close to suggesting that aryans are somehow better.
BTW: I'm blond, so I guess I should be flattered. Still, this smells of bollocks.
BTW2: Searching for the theory to read it returns blatant racism in early hits.
It seems like this article contains little except a a summary of a controversial theory. I vote for deleting it.

message: I just tagged the page as needing cleanup due to a lack of citations. There are some other issues that I feel also need addressing, but citations are the most significant.
User:Shinamom has been the article's chief editor for two months - since May it seems. As they are a student editor enrolled in an education program, I understand that adhering strictly to a set of rules is not the best way to learn how to edit. I left a message on their talk page two weeks ago in the hope that they would respond positively and work to fix the issues I highlighted - but received no response.
I want to be cautious about undoing the changes that have been made to the article, since they added content in good faith that appears to be factual (even if it is not verified). Compared to the article as it was before they edited it at all, it is now much longer. However, in its old state it contained many more citations (it seems some have been removed for no good reason?), and the quality of grammar in the newer content is not up to standard. Unless someone wishes to take up the task of fixing the article (whether it is Shinamom or not), I will likely revert it to its previous state in a couple of weeks.Sparkledriver (talk) 16:29, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's okay to revert now.

message: The entire "Early Life" section is mostly about his father.
The "Military Service" section lacks references, and implies that Romero was lying about his military service. "Like one of the charming, witty, fast-talking characters he would later play on television, he was not above giving a slight spin to the truth, saying he had enlisted after "December 1941", and served in France, Belgium, and Germany, letting the unwary assume from the order of countries that he was with the liberation forces, rather than the army of occupation." ... "The ultimate source for these unlikely statements is unknown." This is not encyclopedic, I think.
"... he had no competitive skating background and lacked the technical virtuosity demanded of such." Aside from the awkwardness of this sentence, I don't understand why his "competitive skating" background is important. Apparently he was a good enough ice dancer to be in the Ice Follies. If he started at 16, then that was in 1943. There is no coherent chronology in the article.
"This was also his first billing without the generational suffix of "Junior", which he abandoned going forward." Please! "This time and thereafter he was not billed as "Jr." "Going forward" is a detestable buzz-phrase that is used in mealy-mouthed political speeches, not encyclopedias.
