Talk:Michael Richards

message: For sure, the main focus of Michael Richards Wiki entry should be the Laugh Factory incident. Where he grew up, Seinfeld, other acting work is all secondary in nature.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.71.29.7 (talk) 21:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that so far his entertainment career has failed to reignite since this event it does warrant a respectable portion of the article about him but now that over a decade has passed it does make sense to revisit this section and perhaps thin it out to the most salient points about what happened (while absolutely avoiding any ridiculous attempts at whitewashing of it as some editors had wanted to do during the highly contentious period of the initial development of this section). 213.174.99.130 (talk) 18:07, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

message: According to the two links, respectively from People magazine and the Los Angeles Times, it is said that Richards was in a relationship with a third woman by the name of Ann Talman?  Would this info be suitable to mention on the "Personal life" section?

replies: text: The general issue has been raised repeatedly in various contexts; see for example . As Jimbo Wales said in that discussion, we do not "chronicle every single twist and turn of celebrity romances". I have done a lot of BLP cleanup, and removal of content like this has been, more than 95% of the time, noncontroversial. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 23:46, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Is the thing where he said he was a jew but wasn't noteworthy? It's not here now and I'm trying to decide if it's worth adding. See http://www.foxnews.com/story/2006/11/28/michael-richards-clarifies-claim-about-being-jewish.html (There are other reports, but this is the first one that popped up.)

thread_title:  Not a jew 

message: I do not see why it is unacceptable to mention in the article that Richards is the father of a son named Antonio Baz Richards.   According to WP:INVALIDBIO: "That person A has a relationship with well-known person B, such as being a spouse or child, is not a reason for a standalone article on A (unless significant coverage can be found on A); relationships do not confer notability. However, person A may be included in the related article on B."  In this case, person A is Antonio Baz and person B is Michael Richards. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 15:50, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: @Maineartists: On the contrary, thank you.  I completely agree with the diff you've provided to me.  I completely accept the fact that his son's name cannot be mentioned, just as long as the article mentions that he has a son in addition to his daughter, Sophia.  That's all I was trying to do.

replies: text: Hitcher vs. Candyman You are perhaps the very epitome of what an example of a true model editor can be at WP. I'll stand in your corner any day. Happy editing to you. Maineartists (talk) 21:06, 26 August 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Antonio Baz Richards 

message: Just what exactly is going on here? "1979–2000, 2007–2014, 2019" Did the BLP state publicly that he had retired from the industry (or his career entirely) and then started up again ... 3 times!? Only in 2009 did he state that he would retire from "Stand-up". Why do these dates keep changing? Unless he's dead, these dates are ridiculous at WP. Just because an actor doesn't have steady work, doesn't mean he's not "active". He's still in the industry. A film actor is "not-active" between pictures, and dates do not reflect those time periods. The date should simply be 1979-present: plain and simple. IMDB places him to present. Maineartists (talk) 23:36, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

message: Since it is already mentioned that Richards is a member of Freemasonry would it be inappropriate to include his home lodge? I mean its pretty much public knowledge but as a Freemason myself I can understand that the Master and members of that lodge may not want to have fans flocking and hanging outside of the Masonic Temple waiting for Richards to show up, I mean that actually could be a deterrant for him and the other brothers of the lodge to show up but I thought I'd ask anyway.

message: Although Richards served in the Army during the Vietnam War era, there are no reliable sources found as of yet state that he was in a war zone during the war. More specifically, the sources do not establish defining role in the Vietnam War. Accordingly, "Category:United States army personnel of the Vietnam War" was removed until a defining role is established. Semper Fi! FieldMarine (talk) 11:30, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
