Talk:William Frawley

message: In the book, "meet the mertzes", there is so much information about how Frawley was a good guy, a sweet guy, a nice guy, a warm guy, a funny guy, and the list goes on. I mean the book quotes so many people that worked with him on "I love lucy" and "My three sons", and has alot of information that gives u a good understanding about the kind of guy William Frawley was......and yet.....this article barley has any of the info or quotes written down....And I think thats very sad.....I would put type the info here myself, but it seems like there is somebody that keeps erasing stuff ARYAN818 23:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  ALOT OF INFO LEFT OUT 

message: To "Diligens": Why do you keep deleting important information? Just because you're a WP:ATTACK? It's part of the man's life story; who are you to decide what everyone else gets to read? Hardly in the wikipedian spirit. Don't cut stuff out just because you find it personally offensive; hat's not a valid criterion. As an open source project, Wikipedia depends on contributors' willingness to tolerate subject matter they don't like. You don't have the right to arrogate for yourself exactly which information others will have a right to view.--bamjd3d
:What do you mean stop censoring "everyone"?
:There are many WP rules that result in censorship. Did you know that?
:*encyclopedias are supposed to be a form of reference, education and facts. The article said that Vance and Frawley "despised" each other. Okay. Why the need to give examples as if the reader doesn't understand what "despise" means? Brevity and removal of redundancy is in the Wikipedian spirit. Did you know that?
:*cuss words are not appropriate, especially for minors.
:*the spirit of Wikipedia is not to post negative things in biographies, especially tearing down characters of a wholesome show. This isn't the National Inquirer or the Oprah show.
:*verifiable and reliable sources must support things, and those things don't have them.
:One of these reasons is good enough for the edit.

thread_title:  Stop censoring everyone! 

message: This is a mess...various text from  seems to have been introduced into the article at different times (based on my very brief examination of the page history). It is now intertwined with whatever content truly belongs to Wikipedia, so the article needs a major rewrite. Ardric47 06:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

"Lucy and the Countess Have a Horse Guest" title does show up in Wikipedia list of Lucy Show episodes.
(Vivian Vance was no longer a Lucy Show co-star by then, and does not appear in that episode.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.63.16.82 (talk) 17:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:   Monsieur Verdoux 

message: A lot of this article either has no citation or has citations that do not pan out when checked. The notes refer to websites that do not link to info about Frawley. Parts of the article about his difficult behavior and his relationship with Vance are unsourced, or cite a source that does not mention the claim being made.Argentine84 (talk) 22:03, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
