thread_title:  Marty Schwartz? 

message: I made some changes to the article....
* I removed a LOT of extraneous references to other people - the opening night attendees, his neighbors, and a lot of information about his wife. A lot of it either wasn't pertinent to him, or was just not encyclopedic. His wife sounds like she is an artist in her own right - if so, she deserves an article of her own, then. I realize that someone else commented with a different opinion, but there is no way that listing 50 names can be "relevant" to his work....there was actually more column space including that list than there was about some aspects of his work. 
* I also grouped items together - career, awards and recognition, and family/personal life. 
* The quotes pertain to his characters, and therefore should probably stay in the article, but it would be my humble opinion that the quotes section probably needs to stay the same size, and also that quotes should go to Wikiquote, which is the best repository for them.

thread_title:  Martin Short – British author 

message: Someone referenced E! as saying that cancer was the cause of death. yes, E! did say that, however I'd question their reasoning. I read the little article and there is no official confirmation. E! just speculated based on the fact that she had cancer in 2007, [[[User:Marymoss|Marymoss]] (talk) 14:31, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nancy Dolman's death 

message: The article says he was married to his wife from 1980 to 2010, but in an interview today he says he's been married 36 years. Kathie Gifford obviously didn't realize his wife was dead, so he politely doesn't point that out. Even so, 1980 is only 32 years ago. Possibly he made a mistake, but it seems more likely the article is in error.

thread_title:  Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley? 

message: The article cited as the reference for the supposedly many names of Short's one-man show does not actually say that those names had been used for the show; rather it quotes Short as saying those were alternate names he had "considered" using; from the context one gets the idea that he was being facetious.  "Sunday in the Park with George Michael" is obviously a reference to the Sondheim show Sunday in the Park with George and the incident where George Michael was arrested in a park for indecent exposure; this hardly sounds like a "serious" title for a one-man comedy show which obviously did not in any way actually feature Mr. Michael.  2600:1004:B12E:408D:B029:D7E7:58E1:ED64 (talk) 03:34, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
