Talk:Steve Harvey

message: Where did Steve go to High School?
Steve Harvey went to a school that embraced obtaining the 2nd place trophy for its competitions. This comes from a history rooted deeply in a misunderstanding that "1st Runner-Up" was more impressive that "1st Place" because there are more words on the trophy.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.226.73.151 (talk) 04:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

message: I've noticed a minor edit war going on between 2 editors over this section. I would like to add my two cents to the conversation, and encourage the editors to discuss the matter on the talk page, rather than engage in serial reversions.
For what it's worth, I agree with Absolon that Wikipedia policy, specifically WP:NPOV requires that the facts be reported without bias. I believe that the text of this section, as originally written, adhere to the policy. Absolon changed the header of the section from "Religious Intolerance" to "Atheism controversies." I accept that edit and do not contest the fact that the new header is more in line with policy.
However, Grumpy Atheist is also correct. The text shows that Mr Harvey is an unapologetic bigot and shows an unashamed ignorance of very basic science, of which he is clearly uninterested and scornful. He commits the fallacy of argument from ignorance, (ie. "I don't understand it, so it can't be true") and remains blissfully unaware of it. This man deserves to be mocked and ridiculed.
That being said, it must be left to the reader to come to that conclusion. Wikipedia should only report the facts, not the interpretation of those facts. So, dear editors, I would advise restraint from further editing of this section, unless further citations can be provided. Windyjarhead (talk) 18:27, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember seeing that interview on CNN, and his saying something to the effect off 'we come from monkeys, but monkeys are still around?'. The article doesn't mention that, but it does refer to his argument - atheists are just 'idiots'. - 124.191.144.183 (talk) 13:08, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I came here to read about Steve Harvey because he's rumored to be about to be appointed to something by Donald Trump. But there's no mention in the article of anything Harvey might have done ever to have gotten any political or public notice. The only indication that he's ever done or said a word of any public significance is this trace of an argument over a section that does not exist today. It looks fishy.

message: There is a claim here that Harvey misspelled the country names of Columbia and the Philippines in a tweet apologizing for his Miss Universe mix-up. However, the source supporting the claim actually shows the tweet which has correct spelling of the names.

message: It is always a contentious issue when dealing with "controversies" in Wikipedia so I will simply start a discussion here as opposed to bludgeoning the page itself. It seems like a lot of these are commentary he has made during his hosting career which is what he does for a living. For WP:NPOV and balance, what should/shouldn't be included? For instance, do we include his comments about the recent Super Bowl? Do we include his positive commentary? Who decides which is included since the term "controversy" is subjective? I don't really have an opinion at this point but would like to hear feedback from others. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:51, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Could anyone please fix his occupations around in the first sentence of the article? Yes, we all know that he’s a comedian, but he’s most notable a television presenter. Is there by any chance someone could fix that?

replies: text: Done. His notability as a television presenter seems to be supported by how the reliable sources cited in this article describe him, as well being the bulk of his Career section and the first in his list of occupations in the infobox. Volteer1 (talk) 05:24, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

message: "In 2014 he had roles in the films Johnson Family Vacation and You Got Served".
This appears to be a mistyped year, as "Johnson Family Vacation" and "You Got Served" were both released in 2004. 
This is also supported by the previous and next statements mentioning 2003 and 2005, respectively.

Calling "Family Feud South Africa" Family Feud Africa is the same as calling "The X factor:UK" The X factor:Europe.It reads ignorant as you're comparing a production in a country to a whole continent.The second biggest continent at that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 105.184.225.106 (talk) 23:50, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
