Gay?

Is he gay? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.27.205 (talk) 22:34, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the new issue of Radar, yes, he is. It doesn't really fit into the article well as it's written right now, but it should probably have some of the LGBT category tags added. --David Bixenspan 00:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

New info about this was just added. It includes some things he supposedly said, and sources for these would be greatly appreciated for BLP purposes (unless the information is already in the reflist provided). 71.113.42.186 (talk) 06:52, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, he's gay. He has said so repeatedly.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brittany Cintron (talk • contribs) 22:40, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and he is also a jew.[2] So he is a gay jew. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brittany Cintron (talk • contribs) 04:35, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Baldwin voice mail message

An editor wanted to introduce material about the voice mail by one of the Baldwins that went public. Can we discuss the sources and how/if this material warrants inclusion in this bio? At first glance, I would rather "contain" this to the TV show article if even that. Anyways, thanks, --Tom (talk) 13:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My Way

Someone might want to add a note and/or a full section about his recording of it. XP — Preceding unsigned comment added by KarasuGamma (talk • contribs) 23:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jew or Not Jew?

For some odd reason a person is attempting to remove information from the article about Harvey's jewish heritage. I am not sure if this is being done because the person(s) is anti-semitic or what. The information is well sourced and even includes a television interview in which Harvey himself discusses his religion. His religion became an issue when the Mel Gibson DWI report was first mad. When Gibson's rants became public, Gibson reported became angry at Levin because he is jewish. Brittany Cintron (talk) 17:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making personal attacks ("anti-semitic"). And please obtain consensus here for the relevance of Jewish ethnicity to his notability. Cresix (talk) 17:25, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did not make a personal attack against any specific persons. I just made a generalized statement about what I perceived as the problem with people deleting his religious information. Wikipedia has a whole section devoted to listing people of jewish/American heritage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_Jews Brittany Cintron (talk) 17:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Suggesting that an editor is "anti-Semitic" is most definitely a personal attack. Cresix (talk) 17:29, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Brittany, you did not make a "generalized statement" about "people". You said "a person", and you said it on the heels of my reverting your edit adding Jewish to the lead of the article. Your oblique comment about anti-Semitism is offensive and uncalled for. Please apologize to me.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apoligize to you, Bbb23. You weren't the only one who had been reverting that information. Several others were as well and my statement was directed at that whole group based upon my perceptions of their apparent motives for wanting to remove this information. I guess the isssue of jew or not jew is still unresolved at this time. Brittany Cintron (talk) 18:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I just could not/can not understand why people would want to remove that information about Harvey's heritage. So my generalized statement was made on the apparent belief that these reversions were done for what I felt to be an inappropriate reasons. Brittany Cintron (talk) 18:04, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the apology.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are most welcome!!  :) Brittany Cintron (talk) 18:39, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whether directed at a specific editor or a group of editors, calling someone an anti-Semite is a personal attack. And there's something else you seem to have a hard time understanding (or you don't want to understand it): "jew or not jew" is not unresolved. No one is disputing his Jewish ethnicity. What is disputed is its importance in the article. And one more time, Brittany, stop making assumptions about other editors. Just because you have a "belief that these reversions were done for what I felt to be an inappropriate reasons" does not mean that you should announce that as if it is fact. I don't think you realize just how lenient a substantial number of editors have been with you in tolerating confrontational editing rather than seeking administrative sanction against you. I've seen many editors get blocked many times who have been less disruptive than you. You might want to ask for the guidance of an experienced editor by placing {{subst:dated adoptme}} your user page. Cresix (talk) 18:12, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
