request for page protection?

Given how often this page has been vandalized with the same unverifiable information about his personal life, I suggest we ask that the page be protected. I have already notified the admins about the repeated vandalism, all of which comes from the same family of IP addresses, and they suggested asking for protection.

• Well, it was protected for a month, but almost as soon as that was lifted, the vandal(s) came back.... Aristophanes68 (talk) 16:14, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Link to his personal site?

Shouldn't there be a link to his personal website in the "external links" section? http://www.gregplitt.com/ 72.181.112.172 (talk) 09:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

• Ignore this. I just looked back at the main page and realized his webpage is linked in the bio box at the top right. Sorry, I'm used to seeing these in the "external links" section. 72.181.112.172 (talk) 09:16, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Height

He is not 5'11", I met him and would say a flat 6'0"

Not done: Request is original research and judging by the fact that we're talking a difference of one inch, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that this request is a joke. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 17:41, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

From your friendly hard working bot.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 18:50, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 18:11, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Greg being outed on Tyra? Twice?

I cannot make changes to the article but would someone please add GRUDGE MATCH (2013) to his filmography?? He plays a skydiving instructor! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Citycactus (talk • contribs) 21:30, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

I notice that someone has reposted a deleted paragraph claiming that Plitt is dating (insert name of male fashion industry person) who used to date (insert name of another male fashion person) and who admitted the relationship on Tyra and with whom he shares custody of his two kids by his ex-wife, whose name keeps changing. I assume this paragraph is a hoax, and until someone coughs up a reference to a specific Tyra episode, we should keep removing the claims as being false. Similarly, the references to his website are often bogus--as best as I can tell, he doesn't mention anything on his website about a wife and kids (though he does mention a sister).

  • I will not, because I cannot verify any of it. (Also, please don't append my signature to your posts.) Aristophanes68 (talk) 22:41, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Greg was killed on January 17, 2015 when he was hit by a train while doing a photo shoot in Burbank, CA. http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Man-Fatally-Struck-by-Metrolink-Train-in-Burbank-288952121.html <Greg was identified as the victim on on the 11:00 pm broadcast.

Friends to Lovers

I think it should be added to the article that Greg was to be part of the Bravo dating show, Friends to Lovers. The show premiered a week before his death (yet he did not appear). On the second episode, a dedicated title card appeared, but he and his girlfriend were cut from the episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.179.217 (talk) 08:29, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Death - additional details

His accidental suicide had other victims. The train’s engineer and conductor have been placed on administrative leave and are undergoing trauma counseling, according to the Metrolink spokesman.
