Walk of Fame

edit

Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame--what an excellent thing to add. I like it.  :-) (I meant to look for John Wayne's while I was in L.A. but forgot). --KQ 19:31, 19 August 2002 (UTC)Reply

One of these days I'll get around to doing an article on the Walk of Fame. -- Zoe  Preceding undated comment added 01:04, 20 August 2002 (UTC)Reply

Marriage with Pickford

edit

Did Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford get married on March 18, 1920 ? The Wikipage Mary Pickford says March 28. Can someone in the know confirm the date and fix this accordingly, please ? -- PFHLai 03:29, 27 March 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks to Nunh-huh for fixing the wedding date. -- PFHLai 04:17, 28 March 2005 (UTC)Reply

Article title

edit

Is there any particular reason why this isn't at Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., to match Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.? I suppose he wasn't known as that during his lifetime, at least until his son became famous, but I would guess it is a fairly common way of referring to him these days. It would look neater if the two articles were disambiguated in the same way. sjorford 14:15, 13 June 2005 (UTC)Reply

It was until it was moved in May. I agree "Douglas Fairbanks, Sr." is more consisent, plus googling seems to indicate it is the 'most common' form of the name, so I moved it back. Niteowlneils 23:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

moved

edit

I found this content at the disambig page (following a redirect), and moved it here with its subject. --studerby 22:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Westerns

edit

This article speaks very little of Fairbanks' contribution to the Western genre. He was prominant in establishing a superhero-esque cowboy character which would later be echoed with the Lone Ranger and Cisco kid. Something should be said about this in the article. Gaylan Studlar in Michael Coyne's 'Back In The Saddle Again' writes about him and his work.  Preceding unsigned comment added by Bobbyfletch85 (talkcontribs) 20:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reassessment

edit

Recommend reassessing as C-Class, as the current version does not appear to meet B-Class standards. Viriditas (talk) 12:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Gender trouble

edit

This sentence makes no sense...

" After they had another son, Norris, she divorced Wilcox, with Charles acting as her own lawyer in the suit."

Did SHE act as her own lawyer? Or did CHARLES act as HER lawyer?

Or something else entirely? 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:9C38:FF7D:3C76:EFCD (talk) 00:09, 23 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
