Talk:Tim Robbins

message: Was he really THE Marty Robbins' son? There are many contradictions between his page and Marty's. The birthdates and birthplaces listed for Marty are different, as well as the names and numbers of other children and their mother's maiden name. Can anybody clear this up for sure?
Actually, after tracing the sources it appears his father wasn't Marty Robbins at all, but Gil Robbins, a different folk musician. How did the Marty Robbins thing get started?

message: For context on the passage removed here, see this interview about Wikipedia in The Atlantic Monthly, where the interviewer says:
:I have friends who go around making subtle changes to obscure entries as an in-joke with each other. For instance, they went into an entry about the actor Tim Robbins and wrote that his crowning achievement was the 1985 B-movie Fraternity Vacation.

message: Tim Robbins has made public statements against the current US military actions in the Nation-State of Iraq, claiming that the United States is responsible for 400,000 civilian deaths since 2003.  However, even Anti-War websites have given the maximum number at under 80,000.Source  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.114.206.48 (talk) 07:41, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Political Positions

message: "Robbins is a prominent spokesperson for anti-globalisation, a frequent critic of anyone who doesn't agree with him, and a vocal opponent of capitalism. In December 2007, he endorsed and campaigned for the slimeball trial lawyer and senator John Edwards"
Shouldn't this be reviewed?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.213.150.112 (talk) 17:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Album, Tim Robbins and the Rogues Gallery Band: Tim Robbins and the Rogues Gallery Band (2011). Probably should be put on the article. But where? Even though there is said he is a musician there is no section for it, only some musical(s) mentioned. 85.217.35.155 (talk) 02:20, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I thought Tim Robbins was fairly well-known as a Hollywood actor who uses his fame to campaign for liberal political causes, but there's almost no mention of this in the article: only a couple of sentences saying he supported Ralph Nader in the 2000 presidential election and John Edwards in 2008. He was particularly noteworthy as an opponent of the Iraq War in 2003, yet this article doesn't use the word 'Iraq' even once. 
This makes one paragraph read particularly oddly: 'In 2003, a 15th anniversary celebration of Bull Durham at the National Baseball Hall of Fame was canceled by Hall of Fame president Dale Petroskey. Petroskey, who was on the White House staff during the Reagan administration, told Robbins that his stance helped to "undermine the U.S. position, which could put our troops in even more danger." Durham co-star Kevin Costner, a self-described libertarian, defended Robbins and Sarandon, saying, "I think Tim and Susan's courage is the type of courage that makes our democracy work.' But the article itself never tells us what 'his stance' was, or what he was being praised and criticised for!
Compare this article to the one on Susan Sarandon, another prominent actor/activist, which has a lengthy section on her political actvism. Shouldn't it be possible to do something similar here? Robofish (talk) 15:52, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The man lost both parents within 12 days of each other. I added that to Tim's personal life section only to have it reverted by some jerk's autopatrolling bot, because "the article is not about his father". Of course it's not about his father! It's personal life issues about Tim's personal life! Ugh! This is a perfect example of why everyone hates Wikipedia: certain types who can't relate to society get to dictate what can and can't be in a Wikipedia article.
