Talk:Boyd Coddington

message: This page about Boyd Coddington is gonna be a hell of a bitch to write. Most of his background (i.e. before 1990's) is hard to find, and most of his noteriety is more focused on his bankruptcy, his rivalry with Chip Foose, and his show American Hot Rod, which has garnered mixed reviews by people, from outright disgust to enamourment. I'm convinced there is no way a neutral article about him can be written about him.
:I'm sure a neutral article can be written, but first some actual biographical information has to be obtained. But I'm sure I'm not the right person to do it, as he appears to be a sour old man with poor people skills and a congenital inability to credit others. Not the sort of person many want to write a biographical article about.K8 fan 04:15, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

message: What is going to happen to the show now that Coddington has passed away (rest in piece...)? Have any sort of announcements been made? Moreover, who inherits the business? Regards, --Kurt Leyman (talk) 01:59, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Edits by this user show slight alterations that don't make sense, as in being hospitalized in December after New Years Eve. Probably vandalism. 68.205.121.121 (talk) 16:14, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: The article reads "Coddington had been hospitalized December 31, 2007 shortly after New Year's Eve".
Obviously one thing contradicts the other. Was on it the New Year's Eve or was it after then? Norum (talk) 19:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

message: User Boydcoddingtonjr seems to be editing external links, either by removing them, or redirecting to alternate domains. The alternate sites appear to all contain the same content: a commercial site for wheels manufactured by "Genuine Boyds." The user name suggests a connection to this company as well as to this article. Jd72ns (talk) 03:24, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The 'ship of theseus' reference is the legal terminology. You can simplify the meaning as much as you wish, but in a legal case this term would be used.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.193.67.130 (talk) 01:31, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
