Talk:Terry O'Quinn

message: I am a real Losty so I would recognize Terry O'Quin from a hundreds, I guess, so when I was watching the documentary film Three Miles North of Molkom I immediatly paused when I saw his face coming by.
Maybe it's not exact because I was watching a home copy of the film but at 1:28 (1 hour, 28 minutes) when the main characters are talking about going to the Tantra session I see a bald guy wearing an army green shirt and a black backpack coming by. He resembles John Locke amazingly! Please verify if this could be Terry O'Quin.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.125.223.44 (talk) 09:15, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

message: There seems to be some dispute over whether this text in the lede constitutes puffery: Terry O'Quinn (born July 15, 1952) is an Emmy-award winning American actor...
I don't think these are peacock words, according to the definition at WP:PEACOCK: words "used without attribution to promote the subject of an article, while neither imparting nor plainly summarizing verifiable information."  It seems clear that a factual, verifiable description like "Emmy award winning" does not qualify in the same way as "brilliant," "outstanding," "extraordinary" or any of the other subjective terms used as examples there.
However, it does give the lede paragraph a promotional flavor that I think is not in keeping with an encyclopaedic tone.  I recommend leaving it out of the lede even though it is not technically peacocking. Tim Pierce (talk) 14:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

message: In the Lost subsection is the following text:
In 2005 and 2007, O'Quinn received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his work as John Locke on Lost. O'Quinn admitted on the TV Guide Channel that he did not have much faith in the series Lost at first, calling it "The Mysterious Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau".[9] The show, however, became one of the most popular on television, and on September 16, 2007, he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series for his role in Lost.
which I am changing to:
In 2005 O'Quinn received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama for his work as John Locke on the series Lost. O'Quinn admitted on the TV Guide Channel that he did not have much faith in Lost at first, calling it "The Mysterious Gilligan's Island of Dr. Moreau".[9] The show, however, became one of the most popular on television, and on September 16, 2007 he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama Series for his role. He was nominated again for an Emmy for the role, in 2010.
This includes four small grammar fixes, and also removing the first mention of 2007's nomination, to avoid mentioning it twice within two sentences. I have also added the 2010 nomination for consistency, as it is already mentioned in the intro text of the article. I presume that is all OK? If any problems please revert.--Donkeydonkeydonkeydonkey (talk) 11:10, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi
Wikipedia is pretty much the only source in the world I can find that states he had an uncredited role as "Executioner" in the film Braveheart. (It's not on IMDB, for example.) How do we know that's accurate?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davoarid (talk • contribs) 22:51, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Can someone update that? I don't know the proper wording. He seems to be alive and well and I don't see anything about retirement or death anywhere. Already fixed the opening line to remove an erroneous death date. Atrivedi (talk) 17:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I sometimes wonder about that kind of issue myself.  If he discusses it publicly, I'd say it's OK.  Gossip most definitely doesn't belong on Wikipedia, though. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:21, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
