This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Emily Yahr (1 January 2020). "Obsessed with Wikipedia 'personal life' entries? You're not alone". The Washington Post. Retrieved 1 January 2020. While half-watching the movie on Netflix, half-wondering why it had to be a million hours long, I thought, "Hmmm, I haven't seen Joe Pesci in a while." So I Googled him. Obviously, the first result was Wikipedia.

Personal life

So I take it a bunch of the information in the "Personal life" section was removed after the Washington Post article appeared?--Prisencolin (talk) 02:26, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Prisencolin: Mind clarifying what information and what article you're referring to? Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 02:32, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaselineeeeeeee:, this article, and it appears to be the detail about Claudia Haro being convicted of man-slaughter and Pesci breaking a rib twice.--Prisencolin (talk) 02:36, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Prisencolin: No, I meant the which Washington Post article (I don't see one in Pesci's article), and what "bunch of information was removed" in the personal life section (I don't see anything in the recent history)? Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 02:44, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The one listed in this talk page [1], there hasn't been a recent one if you were asking. Compare the paragraph in this screenshot from the article to what's there now.--Prisencolin (talk) 03:33, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Prisencolin: Interesting. It looks like I was the one who actually removed the murder-for-hire part on January 1, the same day the article was published, but I honestly hadn't even known about it—probably just edited it because the two editors before had edited the personal life section had probably went there after reading this article. I had removed the murder-for-hire part because this is not relevant to Pesci as a) being info related to Haro that does not improve the biography of Pesci b) they were not married at the time of the incident c) murder-for-hire is probably not the right terminology. Regarding the stuff about the rib, it looks like that was moved into the career section of the article the same day—and rightfully so. Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 04:04, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vaselineeeeeeee: That's a pretty amazing coincidence. And I'm sure many a Post reader came here and wondered where those details from the article went.--Prisencolin (talk) 20:17, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe. Anyway, is there any objection you have to what has been done to the section since the Post article, or was this just curiosity? Vaselineeeeeeee^★★★ 20:31, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SNL

Sooooo...why does that section not mention why Sinead ripped up the photo, or how he mentioned wanting to smack her?Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 05:10, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
