thread_title:  Death 

message: Some sources say he was born in 1962, others (including IMDB) say 1965.  Anything concrete? -- MisterHand 12:53, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Guardian writes: "He was 40, according to police, although most reports put his age as 43."  David Sneek 15:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is possible we will have to wait for the actual family-published obituary for confirmation either way, as there are sources citing both ages as correct. ZZ 16:11, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Obviously, there are sources citing the date of birth for Chris Penn as 6/10/1962 and 10/10/1965. Reuters corrected their original story to reflect the 1965 date, and thus that Mr. Penn died at the age of 40. Other articles seem to have been corrected in similar fashion. Authoritative, it isn't - but Reuters is a good enough source for me, for now. I would ask that, unless some other source of information comes forward, that we quit reverting the birthdate and age at death. There will be an obituary issued by the family, and I presume that an official date will be confirmed by that document; We have evidence that 1965 is correct, I recommend we leave that date for now.

thread_title:  Birth date? 

message: This is a sad story and clearly it's being updated, but is a current events tag really necessary? There isn't really a lot of precedent for it to be used in the case of an actor's death. It's more for (and no disrespect intended to Mr. Penn) major, ongoing news stories, I thought. 23skidoo 13:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I went ahead and added it to the current events queue, though I doubt it will meet the criteria. The main point of interest is that his last film debuts at an international film festival on the day after his death. If it's denied, then the tag will probably come down, I would think. ZZ 13:11, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

text: After reading through the criteria a little more closely, this death does not meet the criteria for a news story or breaking current event on the main page. I pulled it from queue. I still think the tag should stay up for the morning, in case additional information comes to light - but it could probably be removed after that.

thread_title:  Corrections 

message: In the last paragraph is a two-sentence verbatim quote from the AP story . The story is cited but the text isn't introduced as a quote. The text is "Police said they discovered the 40-year-old actor's body around 4 p.m. Lt. Frank Fabrega said there were no obvious signs of foul play." Shouldn't this be repharased?―BenFrantzDale 15:19, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Check me, but I think the rewording I did should cover it. ZZ 16:10, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Middle name

message: I know it doesn't count as part of his filmography, but there was an alternate story line for American Pie 2 where Chris Penn was cast in the role of Stifler's Dad. These scenes were shot but then the producers rethought the story line and cut it, and had the mysterious relative that Stifler kept talking to be his little brother. The scenes were on the DVDs for the film. So, my long overdue question: shouldn't this be added, albeit in a more condensed form? CyberTrini 23:23, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There's repetition of this term in consecutive lines in the career section when describing characters he's played. It doesn't read very well stylistically and I wonder if better descriptions might be used? Icosahedron (talk) 13:44, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
