message: Isn't there a public domain picture of this guy? Or, barring that, Jigsaw's puppet from the Saw movies?

replies: text: I wanted to know if there was a picture of this guy as well, I mean we have people who are just plumbers with pictures on here, but this guy who runs one of the largest and most powerful media empires there is not even a snapshot of?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.109.207 (talk) 17:30, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

message: In the article, it is not mentioned that he is a Jew, but he is placed in :Category:American Jews. So the claim needs clarification. --Kaaveh (talk) 07:29, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I'm wondering if he changed his name to hide the fact that he's a Jew. 12:06, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The article now mentions these items, with references. —Patrug (talk) 03:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jew? 

message: I work for Rubenstein Communications and I propose the following edits on behalf of Paramount. To mitigate conflict of interest issues, I ask that an editor review the edits and take them live, as they see fit. If no objections are had and no edits are made within ten days, I will go ahead and update the entry myself. I believe these edits enhance the accuracy of the entry while adding additional citations.

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: Is there any reason why the Manuela Herzer lawsuit over Redstone's competency to remove her from his health care proxy is reduced to a footnote that doesn't describe it? It meets WP:WEIGHT by the standard of massive media coverage. I also think it's important and significant as an example of the law of competency and undue influence. --Nbauman (talk) 13:59, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The article includes a sentence & citation for this, at the end of the Succession section. Redstone has been involved in many legal disputes during his long & complicated life and career, and this particular trial ended almost as soon as it began, so its significance seems more gossipy than encyclopedic. —Patrug (talk) 03:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Manuela Herzer lawsuit 

message: In the infobox it says Mr Redstone's first marriage startet in 1944 while in the private life section it says 1947. Which is right? --Maxl (talk) 17:48, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch. I changed the infobox to match the article text and its newspaper reference. —Patrug (talk) 03:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

message: Isn't it true that Redstone worked for CIA predecessor, the OSS, during WW2? And possibly had CIA ties after that? Certainly the conspiracy theorists would want to know that! It is, indeed, somewhat remarkable that this is not mentioned in the article. I hope some one who knows how to source this properly will make the relevant edit!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.35.240.182 (talk) 07:36, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
