This part was cut out by Dahn with no reason. As Wikipedia is a public encyclopedia I say there is a problem. 90.5.212.112 (talk) 19:49, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Neither of the links you provided seems to mention Florian Pittis. It is true that I'm an administrator, but that doesn't give me any extra authority over content decisions; in theory I'm knowledgeable regarding practice and policy, given my experience around the wiki, but that's not quite the same thing. :p As far as threatening to have you blocked, that was probably an error on their part... seems much better to have a civil conversation about things, no? – Luna Santin (talk) 06:56, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Do you have a reliable source which mentions Pittis specifically, and which supposes his death was a result of smoking? If not, the claim is clearly original research (see policy page for details). – Luna Santin (talk) 00:58, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

text: If it can be reliably sourced that Pittis smoked, that's a slightly different ballgame (keyword if); extrapolating anything from that, however, would be WP:OR. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:18, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Hi, I can understand a desire to make every Wikipedia article accurate.  In a Biography of a Living Person (BLP) article we should give every point of information great scrutiny.  In this case, it is not a BLP.  The citations given do support that he was a frequent smoker, what some people would characterize as a heavy smoker.  Whether we choose to leave the comment "heavy" or not, the current citations do support the fact that he was a smoker, and the types of cigarettes he preferred.  So please leave the citations alone, if you would.
Could you explain why you are so adamant that the word "heavy" not be included?  Thanks,  Atom (talk) 02:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Now that the dispute regarding Pittiş's smoking is over, I think I can make a point about what is considered "trivia" at Wikipedia and what's not.
As most Romanians remember, Florian Pittiş was often asked to do the voice-over in television shows, especially in scientific documentaries. His deep voice, his clear pronunciation and his engaging intonation were just perfect for that, and we could often hear him as the narrator at Teleenciclopedia, a documentary show that's been on TV for more than 40 years now. Once he was reading a text on monkeys, for yet another documentary: "The monkeys started to fight. The same also happens in our theater." Of course, the second sentence was not in the original script, but he said it with the same scientific-ish tone that the sound editors could have missed it. Luckily they didn't.

This what I would call trivia. His smoking habit is not trivia, it's almost a symbol of his personality. — AdiJapan 09:42, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
