Talk:Cliff Robertson

message: Robertson was the victim of a boycott later in life, apparently in retaliation for going to the authorities after his signature was forged by a producer. I can't name the individuals involved, but it was headline news at the time and none of this is noted.68.111.71.197 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 10:37, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok well if you "can't name them" perhaps we ought not to use phrases like "the people who run Hollywood" as absent any specific citation, it sound a lot to me like a dogwhistle for 'Jews'.  In any case it's weasly as it is. 50.164.202.78 (talk) 21:20, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, it had nothing to do with a religious conspiracy. It was the studio owners' retribution against Robertson for revealing that one of them had embezzled money. (See next section.) Embram (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Forged check

message: The main article has a section entitled "Career decline" and a section entitled "Columbia Pictures scandal," but without connecting the two. It's universally accepted that industry retribution against Robertson for reporting David Begelman's embezzlement was the cause for Robertson's career decline. Someone reading the Wikipedia article wouldn't know that. Embram (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

message: While "Birthdate"  above is correct, birthplace is incorrect, and La Jolla, CA--not Los Angeles--is noted in three (3) sources, most recently in NYTimes obituary I have used in correction.Mwprods (talk) 18:53, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: It's creepy and ironic at the same time. During the September 11 attack he was flying and seen the first attack and forced to land, that he should happen to pass away a day before the 10th anniversary of that attack and a day after his birthday. Chilly.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.31.228.131 (talk) 10:42, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't realize you (or someone else; a different IP address 99.135.197.161?) were serious about changing the article. The WP community tends to view "creepy coincidences" as non-encyclopedic; they are considered original research and synthesis and routenely get reverted. (In a nutshell: research is the readers' business, not ours; and we can't put 2 and 2 together to get 5.) There is no need to risk implying there is anything behind the "coincidences", which the readers are well able to see for themselves. Please familiarize yourself with the policies.
