Unsourced personal life information

Please do not reinsert unsourced information into the article. Particularly unsourced personal life information should not be reinserted. The BLP concerns should be self-evident, but if they're not, have a look at Siegenthaler controversy. Even if information seems uncontroversial on its face, it may not be. At the least, if untrue, it reflects very poorly on Wikipedia to include it. With Anderson, finding sources shouldn't be too terribly difficult, but until such sources are found, the information stays out. Unit Anode 23:55, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not readd contested (and blatantly unsourced) material to this biography of a living person. Doing so can potentially lead to being blocked from editing. Unit Anode 03:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see, it has NOT been contested by anybody but you. Whatever points you contest, I strongly suggest you contest SPECIFICALLY. Thanks. Infrogmation (talk) 03:17, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm telling you, that if it's unsourced, it's contentious, and your gratuitous fact-tagging simply proves that you're just trying to prove a point. I'm stub-ifying again. And if you readd all the material, I'll be forced to take this to a further step. Unit Anode 03:26, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Question re Cause of Death: Where is Cardiac Arrest coming from? I don't see it in the cited articles. I suppose it's a reasonable inference, but is that sufficient?Bertandherb (talk) 20:16, 22 April 2018 (UTC)Bertandherb[reply]

Year of Birth

Most sources, including sources cited for this article, give 1952. Where did 1949 come from? Thisdaytrivia (talk) 18:26, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In Popular Culture

Anderson and his relationship with William Alexander, the author of "Nantucket Slay-Ride" (ISBN 978-1530118663) is chronicled in that novel's section entitled "New Orleans" whereas they go from general acquaintances trading barbs to becoming good friends.

Harry Laverne Anderson

"Laverne"? Why? 173.86.62.144 (talk) 17:38, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It may be a family name. Also, "Laverne" used to be a man's name, like Florence, Vivian and Carol. 107.77.229.17 (talk) 04:25, 18 April 2018 (UTC)HelenChicago[reply]

Year of Birth

In what source did this information say that he was born in 1949? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.189.88 (talk) 12:26, 23 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Year of Birth III

He was born in 1952, not 1949, this is very inaccurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.189.88 (talk) 13:19, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charity work

He gave a magic and comedy show at a fund raiser auction for the Jackson Square Artist's Association where over $20,000 was raised. 98.164.72.24 (talk) 03:19, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Early work

I have an image from the University of Texas at Arlington yearbook that shows a young Harry Anderson performing on campus. The year was October 1975. Not sure if this falls under fair use and if it should be included in the article. Jbrucehowie (talk) 21:13, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IT

Why is IT not in the filmography? It is listed in a paragraph but not in the list 152.36.189.200 (talk) 01:42, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed in the Television table, it's a TV miniseries. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:48, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

attire

He was known for a distinctive fashion sense, heavily influenced by the 40s. Drsruli (talk) 05:00, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
