message: "Christopher Nolan, the director of Batman Begins, and its sequel The Dark Knight, has stated that he would cast Muniz as the role of Robin if he had to. However, Nolan has stated that as long as he is directing the franchise, Robin will not be cast."

message: On the article, there is a section referring to Frankie Muniz recently having a heart attack.  I cannot find any news sources mentioning Frankie Muniz post July 22nd, 2007, and surely this would have seen a mention in the new.  It should be removed from the main page immediately unless a third-party source can be linked to right away.

message: I have trouble believing he was born in 1985, and was 15 when Malcolm in the Middle began to air, he is supposed to be around 12 or 11 at the beggining of the show, looks like he's about 9 in my opinion and was supposedly 15...
Also, in My dog Skip, (form 2000 as well as Malcolm in the middle), he looks like he's age 8, when acording to when he was born, he was really 15.
Either he has some sort of Age retardation where he looks 10 years younger than he really is, someone messed with the article, or The movies and films he was in where filmed 4 years before they debuted.
There is no source for this birthdate, and I don't believe it one bit.Altenhofen 05:52, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Playstation Underground 

message: So let me start by saying that I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask this question, and if it's not, I apologize for the mistake. I and several others before me added that he's now a drummer for a band called You Hang Up and it was removed because the band is non-notable, which is true. My question is does notability refer to the subject of the article or to everything in the article? It just would seem that because he's a notable person, that his career change to a drummer is by extension notable, whether the band he's currently drumming for is notable or not. I'd just like some clarification. Again, sorry if this isn't the right place for that.Willcrys 84 (talk) 03:00, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Notability refers to anything that is added, item by item. That Muniz joined a non-notable band is a reflection on the band's notability, not Muniz's. It was removed previously because the addition wasn't sourced, but come on. It's very hard to know how many people, actors, etc., play in what amounts to a garage band that has gone nowhere. It doesn't make it notable on its own legs. Now, if the band releases an album, that might be different. There's nothing to support saying it is an actual career change instead of a hobby. Wildhartlivie (talk) 13:09, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't unsourced (http://www.popeater.com/2010/02/24/frankie-muniz-you-hang-up-interview/). In that interview he actually says that he considers it a job. Not wanting to mention his current band is understandable, I don't get why there shouldn't be any mention of drumming at all, when he has said himself that he's pursuing it professionally.Willcrys 84 (talk) 15:57, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it wasn't always sourced, see here and here. You added popeater.com, a site that isn't considered a reliable source, which renders it not sourced. Like I said, once the band does something notable, maybe then. Lot's of people join bands and go nowhere with it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it non-reliable even though it's showing an interview of him? SamEV (talk) 16:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it is. Non-reliable basically means that it is not considered a legitimate source. That interview could (not saying it IS) be faked, or cobbed from a legitimate source. Once in a while, an unreliable source may have legitimate content, but not consistently.  Wildhartlivie (talk) 17:20, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I thought. Thank you. SamEV (talk) 17:30, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

text: Sorry, I never meant to imply that it was always sourced, just that it was sourced when I posted it. I don't understand why popeater is considered non-reliable here. It's used as a source on a fair amount of other articles and it's published by AOL. So does the fact that it's a gossip site definitively preclude it from being a reliable source, even though most of the content is consistently verifiable?  Willcrys 84 (talk) 21:49, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Constantly verifiable" says that it can be checked against the original source, which is what should be used. I explained what makes something reliable or not reliable. As for being used on other pages, there's a basic tenet here: Other stuff exists. Just because it's slipped in on some articles doesn't lend it credibility. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Now I'm just completely confused. So nothing can be used as a source unless some other non-Wikipedia entity first uses it as a source?Willcrys 84 (talk) 22:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, but you said the content was consistently verifiable. Verifiable means it can be compared to the source of the article/statement/news story to verify, or check, the facts. If popeater is verifiable, that would mean they are copying a story from another place. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:19, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess me and Wikipedia have different definitions of verifiable. I'd always thought that if something was verifiable, then it could be proven to be true. I think I get it now. Thanks a lot.Willcrys 84 (talk) 23:54, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

message: I think that referring to a transient ischemic attack as a "mini-stroke" is too cutesy. Just leave the TIA linked; if a reader is interested in looking up what it means, they can do so. Otherwise, it sounds like a kid's news item from the Weekly Reader >_< . 
More to the point, mention a cause of the TIA. (Though frequently a direct cause isn't found, it could be due to a condition like atrial fibrillation.) Has he had any more, were there any long-term effects from the episode, does he now take medication to prevent more TIAs, does the condition interfere with race car driving, that kind of thing.
