message: In this part of the article it states that Dr Gold was his father - shouldnt it state that he was in fact his step father?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.40.204.246 (talk) 22:33, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  2006 World Series Of Poker:

message: Yes Jamie is chip leader, has made to the final table and has a good chance of winning the whole thing, But can remember last year when Andrew Black was chip leader and Joe Hachem was one of the short stacks, right now Jamie has an artical longer then the 1984 and 1985 WSOP ME Winners!.

replies: text: It's probably due to there being more information readily available on the 'Net. Not that this is a reason not to expand the articles on Keller and Smith though. Essexmutant 19:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What I meant is this article is a bit early, should Richard Lee, Erik Friberg, Paul Wasicka, Doug Kim, Rhett Butler (poker), Michael Binger, or Dan Nassif have Wikipedia Articles on them? Last years final table Aaron Kanter, Scott Lazar, Daniel Bergsdorf and Brad Kondracki don't, the point being should someone have an article just by making the final table regardless of where they finally place?

replies: text: I suggest we pick up the conversation again tomorrow, when we see how well he does. Essexmutant 20:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Moot point now, congrats to Jamie. Sirex98 11:04, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I made the article because unlike any of the others, he already has won a major poker tournament, which then combined with the WSOP finish and film industry credentials easily merits an article regardless if he comes in eighth. 2005 23:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jumping the Gun? 

message: Based on a back-story in Entertainment Weekly
In the original Entourage outline, Jeremy Piven's character was named James Gold - not Ari.
I know that other wiki post and articles attribute the character's development and current form to Ari Emanuel, but it appears as though the original character was based on an agent named James Gold.
According to this blog post 
the Entourage writers had a legal problem with their original name for the agent, so “when the show got picked up, they changed the character’s name to my name.
:All the blog seems to state is that two people with the real name of Ari Gold are mad at the character of the same name becoming popular. All the magazine article claims is that "Ari" was originally to be "James." In no way does this seem relevant to Jamie Gold, from my perspective. --Zimbabweed 14:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ari Gold originally named James Gold 

message: Please do not edit information regarding Gold's age and date of birth unless you can provide an established source. As for choosing 1970 as a birth year, how do we not know his birthday is in December? --Zimbabweed 14:21, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Gold is born in 1969 as you can read here  on the botton of the page.
"As he continues to inch up the payout ladder -- the top 12 become millionaires -- he's also guaranteed himself a great early birthday present. Gold turns 37 on Aug. 25." Sirex98 06:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is Gold's brother someone who needs to be mentioned in the first sentence of the article?  I'm assuming no, so I got rid of it. Bigdottawa 04:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  I'm tired of this holier than thou "not that it matters" crap.  It's an encyclopedia. We include his birthday, a picture of him, where he grew up, but his religion doesn't matter?  Yes, do not judge a person on his religion, but I don't see the harm in including it in a friggin encyclopedia Oreo man 04:04, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I wasn't trying to be "holier than thou " I just didn't know if it was encyclopedic, Essexmutant pointed out that it was a relevant category which I trust and had no problem with, the category was added over a month ago. cheers --Sirex98 04:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is he Jewish? 

message: The article claims (and yes it is referenced) that Jamie Gold and Chris Ferguson are neighbors. however, their articles have them being residents of Malibu and Pacific Palisades, respectively. While these are two neighboring towns, that doesn't exactly make all residents neighbors, now does it? --216.75.93.110 14:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. I live in a town abutting Bedford but I don't consider Martha Stewart to be my neighbor. --SVTCobra 23:30, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Of the past five main event champions, Jamie Gold is the only player without an online poker sponsor.
Just five? But Carlos Mortensen represents Full Tilt Poker, as does Chris Ferguson (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/ourTeam.php).--UrbanGrill 15:48, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Champion without online sponsor 

message: Honestly, how can I be the only one to think that "He is the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event champion" does not read well in 2007? You don't hear people say Brazil are the 2002 Soccer World Cup Winners, you hear them say "Brazil WERE the 2002 World Cup Winners" or "Brazil won the world cup in 2002". I have now edited it so it reads the same way as Raymer etc's page, and hope it'll be a satisfactory compromise between the is/was question. --Simon Lamb 12:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: it works, but on WSOP/WPT telecasts, they do describe people as the "200X/19XX WSOP champion."  Once you win a title, you are forever the winner of that year's event.  Brazil is the 2002 Soccer World Cup Winners until somebody else becomes the 2002 Soccer World Cup Winners---since nobody else will ever become the 2002 Soccer World Cup Winners, it is appropriate to refer to them as such in the present tense.  In fact, if you refer to them in the past tense as they were the "2002 Soccer World Cup Winners" the question immediately becomes who replaced them as "the 2002 Soccer World Cup Winners" or why did they lose said title?Balloonman (talk) 22:07, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
