Lautner at the VMAs

Video on AOL

Video summary - Lautner said he was at the VMAs when Taylor Swift got interupted by Kanye West. He then says "this is what I wanted to do." and does karate moves on a Kanye cutout.

Just thought I would throw this out there. Might would be a funny thing to add to the article. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 16:07, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just because it's amusing, doesn't mean it's encyclopedic. Also, he did not have a large enough role in VMA incident ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 03:55, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, however it may be worth noting that he presented one of the awards with Shakira, or that he also presented the New Moon official trailer there with his co-stars.--WhereTheLinesOverlapXX (talk) 18:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True, according to http://www.tv.com/taylor-lautner/person/303126/summary.html (further at Google). Will be added shortly ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 00:58, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lautner was an accomplished martial artist. On his last appearance on The Tonight Show, he admitted that he hasn't practiced martial arts for several years. KarateFighter1 (talk) 09:01, 11 February 2010

Do you have a source? BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 13:25, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not reliable sources, but I will add Max Steel as the his entry at IMDb seems to agree. BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 21:19, 27 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source, as you can see, we have this information at the bottom of the "Career" section with this source. We have not included it in the filmography as the year is not verified at the link above. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 02:06, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it isn't reliable (sometimes I just use it for a quick check). The Max Steel article is confirming this, but it is using a blog for a source. I guess we should wait until an RS. BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 02:45, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's also Variety ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 02:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's good. We could add it with a TBA in the year. BOVINEBOY 2008 :) 03:05, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

this isnt in the tagged Max Steel article, at least as far as i can see. it says "max steel" is voiced by Christian Campbell. which is right?? *dream on*dance on* 19:10, 7 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Taylor Lane (talk • contribs)

No, that is the article for the television series for which the movie is based on. An article doesn't exist for the film yet nor should one be created. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 01:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a source for it.--大輔泉 (talk) 23:11, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life

Shouldn't we add a Personal Life section to his page? I mean, there's the whole Selena thing, Taylor Swift, and the gay rumors (covered in Rolling Stone Magazine). Plus, he's almost 18.

Josemrdj (talk) 21:25, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A "Personal life" section doesn't exist because no one has created one yet. However, if one is created, it must contain NO rumors or speculation. All content in the section must be true and easily verifiable (see WP:SOURCES), as the rest of the article is. Content in biographies of living persons are handled stricter than other articles. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~

he was going out with swift tho wasn't he?IAmTheCoinMan (talk) 01:01, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor presenting awards

Taylor Lautner presented an award for best pop video/music video (which one?) with Shakira, which was won by Taylor Swift. Id like to add the fact that he presented an award at the MTV VMAs 2009 in his career section. But was it best music video?--WhereTheLinesOverlapXX (talk) 12:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As memory serves, he presented the award with Shakira for Best Female Music Video to Swift who was then interrupted by Kanye West. You will have to do a little research to find a reliable source. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 13:06, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_MTV_Video_Music_Awards#Appearances This is a link to the mtv vmas 2009 wikipedia page, under the 'appearances' section it confirms Taylor and Shakira presented the award to Swift. Is this enough for me or you to add it? I want to add this soon since i think it is important. Does anyone ahve any objections?--WhereTheLinesOverlapXX (talk) 14:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not all changes require permission from the community. Be bold and add it. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 14:34, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would usually, but recently ive had this history of adding and being told its been deleted because i didn't discuss it first. Not taking my chances anymore. --WhereTheLinesOverlapXX (talk) 12:39, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of "Lautner"

Should we add a pronunciation key next to Lautner's name in the intro? Taylor and John Bon Jovi (in Taylor's presence) pronounce it laʊtnɜr in this SNL promo. I think it's important to note because everyone says it as lɔːtnɜr ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 19:47, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea! Go right ahead! :-) -Duribald (talk) 20:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm going to add it. If someone doesn't like it they can always come here. ~ ς ح д r خ є ~ 21:05, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His ethnic background

What is his background? If Taylor he travels to Brazil, no one would believe he is American. People would swear he is a native from the South American country. He also looks a bit South East Asian, and there are many people from the old Dutch Colonies in South East Asia who say they are Dutch. Perhaps, this is the Dutch ancestry in his biography.
