replies: text: He was the worst person ever alive, and screwed the whole world through US government by lobbying for copyrights. He sure was important to vandals :) Anyway, now that he is dead, he is no more a "living person" by the definition of dying, and I propose to remove BLP tags and cats.18jahremädchen 07:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

text: What did his tombstone say? In one of his interviews he expressed, "I don't know what's going to be on my tombstone harry but I'd like to write it and say, "That the modest legacy that Jack Valenti left the movie industry was he freed the screen from all artificial barriers." I was just wondering if anyone knows if this happened or not. OttOO 20:37, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Concerning the MPAA's building being named for him and his office space on the 8th floor. I know this first hand as I briefly worked in the office across from him and his assistant introduced herself when we moved in. I also ran into him in the elevator on occasion. 69.140.38.97 23:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm tempted to add "the other" picture of the event described, but I resist it.  I was surprised & interested to learn that was Valenti on the plane with LBJ.  The "other pic" is "The Wink", and isn't that Bill Moyers on the far right side?

thread_title: More Pics

message: I think it is only fair that Mr.Ford was sat on the board of directors of many corporations, earning a great deal of money. The article makes it sounds as though he dedicated his life to public and intellectual pursuits. He was widely criticized for his "money grab", and eventually became more philanthropic. It is important that the careers of ex-presidents be put into a correct perspective. This article fails to do this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.48.215.161 (talk) 00:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: User:Pfranson, tell me, why do you marked my edit as 'vandalism'? Will you remove any sign of criticism from this article? He is no more living. A balanced article should expose more about the criticism involving him. Maybe not in the form I posted, but, some discussion about this topic. I think this is relevant.
I know my references were a bit bogus. And my wording didn't helped either. But I see many blogs and so on commenting his death that way. He is not very popular in the blogosphere, capiche? --187.40.232.116 (talk) 19:07, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, this is considered original research, and I'll be forced to remove it if it is added back.  In order to make this statement, it needs to come from non-op ed pieces that are reliable sources.  Essentially, you have no proof that "he is not very popular in the blogosphere".  This is not equivalent to simply pointing to a blog or multiple blogs praising his death. Brian Reading (talk) 02:41, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: In the documentary/film This film is not yet rated by Kirby Dick I saw that Jack Valenti pushed (I'm not a native English speaker so excuse me for some weird English) some laws about copyright through, one of which said that baking a cake with Mickey Mouse on it could get you a fine of USD150.000 and a sentence of 5 years. There were other extremely harsh measures concerning the copyright issues etc. Anyhow, where can I check the laws that Jack Valenti is responsible for?

message: Tempted to do it myself, got to admit.  But that would just punish Wikipedia for reporting on what a d-bag this guy was for all those years.  I suggest a pre-emptive lock for the next 24 hours.  50.206.59.42 (talk) 00:10, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

message: This website has been removed from the article – http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/jjvalenti.htm. It is a non-RS webpage based on its WP:SPS and WP:LINKVIO. It does list the Washington Post as a source, but we should use the actual Post stories. Also, it is not secure because it lacks a :HTTPS url. Please do not cite it in the article..  – S.
