Talk:Rob Lowe

message: I edited the section about the housing controversy as it seemed a little partisan. -- Autumninjersey (talk) 11:06, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Personal life 

message: Why is there no mention of his dance number on the Academy Awards when he did some "racey" moves with a Snow White actress?  Disney wasn't too happy.  There should be a mention.  Kwyjibear (talk) 23:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: [[WP:BLP]] violations

message: The text about the sex tape mentions that one girl was 'underage' and then says she was 16.  Is 16 not a legal age for sex in the United States?  It is in the UK and most of Europe.  Or are we refering to an age for making pornographic videos here?--217.203.143.219 (talk) 00:14, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you click on "underage" in the article, you will get a general explanation. Although I don't know the details of the case, she would have been considered underage (under 18)within the context of a sexual relationship with Lowe because he was an adult at the time.OwenSaunders (talk) 02:08, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I can tell from Ages of consent in North America#Georgia, it is legal for anybody 16 or over to have sex with a 16 year old assuming consent, at least as of 2013 (and assuming no "sodomy" occurred, because they still had those laws in 1988). I presume it's referring to the act of creating the tape (the article doesn't say who created it, but a source says Rob Lowe did), which would presumably be illegal as porn involving participants under 18 is child pornography (again, as of 2013). The article should state clearly what crime he is alleged to have committed, or remove the assertion that one of the women was "underage", because "underage" by itself isn't specific enough. I was unable to find a good source so I leave that as an exercise to the reader. --holizz (talk) 17:08, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  underage - clarify? 

message: There's a movie or TV production missing. Lowe plays the part of Dr Corbin, an orthodontist, that is eventually found guilty of two counts of murder in the apparent suicide of his wife, and an ex-girlfriend in college. In the beginning, his wife Jennifer (?) is divorcing him because of an Internet relationship with a man named Chris that turns out to be a woman called Marion. I don't remember the title. That's what I came here looking.  Deep Atlantic Blue (talk) 20:06, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Filmography Incomplete 

message: seriously a thousand flattering pictures and you just have to put the worst one.  Also, his birthdate is wrong--how exactly does one perform in a 1983 movie when they're born in 1986?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.122.161.196 (talk) 07:03, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The birthdate was because of a recent vandal. It has been fixed. Thank you. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 05:48, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  DO people on wikipedia hate him 

message: I'm not sure that when citing Rob Lowe's ex girlfriend's memoir, Prairie Tales,in the family and relationships section, it is adequately communicated to the reader that it is an allegation made by her, rather than fact. 
"The two stars got back together only to break up several times. Lowe broke up with her again in 1986 when he started dating Princess Stéphanie. As soon as this relationship ended, Gilbert and Lowe dated again. The two became engaged and were to be married in the summer of 1987. Gilbert then found out she was pregnant. After telling Lowe this news, he broke up with her for good. She miscarried only days later.[11]"

message: Bongwarrior, when you can cite a source showing that the report of Peyton's retirement isnt true, ie from Peyton himself, feel free to Undo my edits. Until then they remain.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.132.152.205 (talk) 08:30, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, that isn't how Wikipedia works. And you should probably be aware of Wikipedia's three-revert rule. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:35, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: He is not a "part time freelance sports journalist" because of one speculative tweet. That is just totally ridiculous and incorrect. And from the very source you provided: "Lowe's 'report' appeared to be inaccurate after several interested parties weighed in Wednesday." The tweet happened, sure: but it's clearly incorrect, and Lowe is certainly no free-lance sports reporter. Doc talk 08:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

text: The "part time freelance sports journalist" thing is not supported by the source, and I removed it accordingly. It's a conclusion you drew, which is called original research. Until you can find a reliable source that backs up this new career of his, it needs to stay out. Doc talk 08:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Isnt a "part time freelance sports journalist" someone who reports sports news part time for free? Didnt Rob Lowe do just that today? Do you have another approved definition I should be using? He broke a scoop and published it in a 21st Century web based news dissemination medium. Seems fairly clear to me. 74.132.152.205 (talk) 08:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: "Freelance" does not mean working for free. It doesn't mean that at all. And he is not a freelance sports journalist, part-time or full-time. Drawing your own conclusion about that is original research, which we do not allow here, especially in biographies of living persons. Doc talk 09:00, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A "free lance" was a knight for hire.  Someone who does something for the love of it is an amateur.  Someone who reports something they happened to hear is a gossip.What's best for the article is to report what happened, and not to interpret or pigeon-hole it.  Such analysis needs a supporting citation. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peyton Manning report 

message: The beginning section of Rob Lowe's page talks about how he is a "subway sandwich artist". It doesn't say "Rob lowe is an actor". This is clearly wrong and someone put that in there as a joke. Please fix it. Thank You!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.124.21.48 (talk) 06:49, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beginning section of Rob Lowe's page 

message: Do you people think the rest of the world are so stupid they can't pronounce a name as easily spoken as Rob Lowe? You people are out of control. I cannot believe how insulting this site has gotten in recent years. You people think we're morons! My brain is still processing how you could think we are incapable of pronouncing Robert Altman. This is disgusting and highly offensive. Wikipedia has crossed the line.--24.186.96.236 (talk) 04:39, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  CONDESCENDING SOUND SPELLINGS 

message: Hi there, I'm new to this, but I came to Wikipedia looking for info on when he did his first performance of Stories I Only Tell My Friends Live. Should his two memoirs and this subsequent show be mentioned on his page? Or am I off the mark? --2603:9000:7106:7BF8:C8C0:C5A0:3C0F:D6F4 (talk) 04:07, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  memoirs and live show 

message: I'm not sure anyone except Lowe himself considered himself the main character of the pilot.  The majority of the plot deals with the question of whether another character will be fired, and the fallout from that character's mistake.  Has Sorkin said anything to back up Sam Seaborn being the main character in the pilot? 85.76.10.53 (talk) 18:04, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
