MORE INFORMATION

We need more information in the first paragraph on the Article page. It's lacking. Most wikipedia pages have a nice, hearty paragraph, but this is lacking. There might have been some episodes not needed in it that were listed, but some one find something and add something else to give it support and size.MonsieurNapoléon (talk) 14:24, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The whole article is short. Lead reflects that. Would be nice to get more info, of course. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:26, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A Turtles Tail--Sammy's voice

So, I deleted A Turtles Tail from Billy Unger's Filmography list because on the wikipedia page is doesn't list his voice as Sammy. However, on Turtle'S Tail 2, (from IMDb PRO) it shows Billy Unger has Sammy's voice and then someone else for his voice. And the same for the first turtle tail film.

Nevertheless, the information from Wikipedia doesn't match IMDb and shows confusing information, so it's nessicary to leave Turtle's Tail the first film and the sequel out of Unger's Wikipedia filmography.

If someone disagrees and has supporting source of this, please change my edits.

Links to IMBd PRO of both Turtle's Tail films:

(First film) https://pro-labs.imdb.com/title/tt1230204/?ref_=nm_filmo_pastfilmvid_6 (Second film) https://pro-labs.imdb.com/title/tt2288005/?ref_=nm_filmo_pastfilmvid_2

(EDIT) It could be that his voice along with other Sammy voices are listed because they are the international voices of him, and Billy Unger is the English voice. Still, the site doesn't specifically state that. MonsieurNapoléon (talk) 00:17, 14 August 2015 (UTC) MonsieurNapoléon (talk) 00:10, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable/unsourced credits

Some filmography entries seem minor/non-notable to me here:

Changeling (Screaming Boy, uncredited)
The Invited (Additional Voices)
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (Kid #2)
Family Guy (School Kid)
Children of the Corn (Additional Voice)
Alabama Moon (Additional Voices)

They are also unsourced and aren't mentioned in their respective articles (where one exists) apart from Family Guy. These should probably be removed unless notability can be established. nyuszika7h (talk) 14:37, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Presumption is that a released movie or TV episode with listed credits is the primary source for credit info and usually IMDb transcribes the info correctly, but ultimately it is the project that is the reliable source. If uncredited needs something else as a references as, obviously, not in the project credits. A credit where he has a very minor bit part seems too unimportant, not notable, to be listed here even if he is listed as such in the project itself. "kid", "additional voices" - just non-notable fluff. Geraldo Perez (talk) 14:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life section

The text in the "Life" section appears to closely paraphrase the Disney XD Medianet source. We probably don't need to list all his hobbies either, but I'm not sure what should be kept from that, if any. nyuszika7h (talk) 14:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd suggest removing the band info, because it's unsourced (which implies it's not "notable"). I'd keep the first two sentences (providing referencing, if available), and maybe retitle the section "Early life"... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:00, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Band info is tagged {{cn}} in February 2016 and no reference has been provided but I suggest giving it a bit more time. Other info is trivial hobby info in my opinion but if others think it fills out info about him as a person... judgement call. Geraldo Perez (talk) 19:15, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like the "hobby" stuff has already been removed – all that's left besides the "band" stuff is "Unger was born in Palm Beach County, Florida. He moved to Hollywood with his family in 2006." I'm sure that info can be sourced by referencing the Disney XD Medianet source. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:31, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lab Rats

@IJBall: I don't mind the episode count being there if you think it's useful. The "unnecessary" was mainly for the slash Bionic Island thing, and I didn't feel like making another comment in the edit summary. I realized WP:TVCAST only refers to "Cast" sections on TV series articles, but I didn't consider it that important to list the episode count for a main role (and it means all episodes in this case, anyway). nyuszika7h (talk) 19:46, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed on the "slash Bionic Island thing" – that was unnecessary! As to the WP:TVCAST thing, what has to be remembered about that (at least, this is my understanding...) is that people were trying to use those "number of episodes" listings to list just the episodes that the main cast appeared in, regardless of whether they were credited in the show's opening or not. That's why it became a big problem, because sourcing/verifying that is somewhere between a chore to impossible! But in Filmography tables, generally the number of episodes listed in the tables is for the number of episodes credited which is much less problematic. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:51, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The key info is that he was in the main cast and presumed to be in the vast majority of episodes for the series. After the normal "1, 2, 3, many, a lot" count the exact number of "a lot" becomes meaningless. Saying 90 episodes as a member of the starring cast is not really giving readers much. If they are interested, click the series link. Geraldo Perez (talk) 20:10, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, don't agree that it's unnecessary, though it's certainly more consequential info for those actors who weren't in the "main cast" for a show's entire run. (And, FWIW, the Filmography example includes this kind of info, and no one objected...) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@IJBall: Yeah, but it only has those for recurring/guest roles, which made me realize, it doesn't even have any examples for main roles. nyuszika7h (talk) 22:42, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, in general, more info is better than hiding it and forcing people to go searching for it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:03, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond a certain point extra info is just trivia. Being starring cast is important, number of episodes that that entails isn't. As noted generally don't see bio articles for starring cast give an ep count for those series that they star in. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:30, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This thinking makes zero sense to me. So we list the number of episodes for guest and recurring roles, but not starring ones?! Where's the logic? Also, how long someone starred on a show isn't "trivial" information – it's of general interest. Why are we forcing people to go through an extra set of clicks for basic information? --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:37, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It matters more for non-regulars as it shows intensity of involvement in the series by showing how much they showed up. Saying main role does same so detail beyond that point add nothing of value. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:42, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again, don't agree. But at this point, it looks like it'll have to be a "local consensus" at each article on whether to include it or not (some include this kind of info, some don't), unless someone wants to hold an RfC on it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:46, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. I'll let others decide whether or not to keep the info, I won't remove it or restore it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 01:55, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Continued addition of unreferenced bio info

There was a recent discussion about this issue, here: User talk:98.6.21.229#July 2019 – people need to read this discussion. As per WP:BLP, and specifically WP:BLPPRIVACY, we do not publish unsourced bio information about BLP's unless such information can be well referenced, preferably in multiple Reliable sources. People also need to pay attention to WP:ABOUTSELF – information published to social media can only be used if it's from the social media of the biography subject themselves. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:20, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
