Vandalism/Scientology

[edit]

An anonymous user (75.68.136.218) removed the reference to the Church of Scientology and replaced it with "the catholic church." I reverted the article. Mustang dvs 00:04, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


somebody is mistaking Jason Lee for Ryan Reynolds

[edit]

i spotted that "waiting.." has Jason Lee listed as playing the character Monty while it is fact played by Ryan Reynolds. anybody care to edit?

You went to all the trouble of posting this here and yet you didn't just edit it by yourself? Way to show initiative. ISAYsorry 02:09, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photography

[edit]

According to an interview at http://www.fecalface.com, Jason Lee has a notable interest in photography. Is this significant enough to be included on the page? Javguerre 22:46, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dead?

[edit]

User User:Smithason added today, February 13, a death date to the article. I haven't heard nor seen anywhere on the net that Jason Lee has died today. I'll remove it until a reference is provided. --claes 10:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Underdog

[edit]

He's voicing Underdog in the upcoming live action film. Vicco Lizcano 18:16, 27 April 2007 (UTC) (Hey! Listen!)[reply]

Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee

[edit]

Is this really the name of his son? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.168.62.0 (talk) 01:09, 2 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Yes... sadly. ISAYsorry 02:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any given reason for the name?  Doktor  Wilhelm  19:36, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Red State?

[edit]

When was it announced that he was in Red State? As near as I can figure is that neither Jason Lee or Jason Mewes will be in it.

Fair use rationale for Image:Jasondogma.jpeg

[edit]

Image:Jasondogma.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 09:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

infobox

[edit]

I added an infobox to the article, but it is still pretty lacking in information. As soon as anyone knows the information and can add it to the article, you can look at the code for Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks or some other very famous male actor to see how it's done and fill in more info. -Mike Payne 03:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cameo on Yacht Rock

[edit]

Jason Lee was a guest star in Episode 11 of Yacht_Rock, playing the part of Kevin Bacon. It was pretty damn hilarious, but I'm not sure about including it in this article:

1. I'm not sure if it's whether it is notable enough to include in this article.

2. I don't know if there's any kind of cast list we can link to so it can be sourced.

3. Where in the article ought it to be included?

Thoughts?

American Dad

[edit]

He's made an appearance in said show. It's not listed here though, and I don't know the details on it (Repeating role, episode, etc.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.142.130.28 (talk) 06:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very iffy writing

[edit]

"Jason Lee, by age 14 was doing tricks that no professional skateboarders were doing at that time. Radically ahead of his time with smooth kickflips, when the flatground ollie itself was just invented, Jason was proving that ollie tricks were the future of skateboarding." Doesn't this seem a little, I don't know, biased or something? Tenho Karite (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its true, he was very ahead of his time Portillo (talk) 23:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Child's name not notable?

[edit]

Why must the name be removed?[1] The fact that he has a son is notable. The fact that his son is called "X" is notable, because it is an unusual name. It's interesting information about Jason Lee's family. If there are no objections I'll add it back in. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 03:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are objections. We are not an entertainment magazine. Please read WP:BIO#Family and WP:BLP#Privacy of names - "Take particular care when considering whether inclusion of the names of private, living individuals who are not directly involved in an article's topic adds significant value. The presumption in favor of the privacy of family members of articles' subjects and other loosely involved persons without independent notability is correspondingly stronger." The minor child is not notable in his own right and therefore should not be named in the article merely to satisfy your curiosity because you think the name is unusual. -- The Red Pen of Doom 14:47, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think privacy of names is a concern if the name is widely known. They provided the information themselves. We may not be an entertainment magazine, but we are an encyclopedia. We're supposed to give information about subjects. The fact that the couple chose to call him Pilot Inspektor is interesting information. The fact that Pilot is not yet notable beyond his name just means that he shouldn't get his own article just yet. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 16:27, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have not seen any argument here that convinces me that displaying the name of a minor child improves the reader's understanding of the topic of the article. -- The Red Pen of Doom 17:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is information. Many things in this article don't make you 'understand' Jason Lee. In fact, his whole "personal life" section could be removed, because it is completely irrelevant to his public life, which we see on screen. Yet we want to read it. We are interested in the personal life of Jason Lee. We want to know how he grew up, how he thinks about certain issues, who his friends are... interesting stuff around him. An unusual name (it would be my candidate for a #1 spot on "List of unusual names" if such an article existed — wait, such an article exists, and the name is on it!) is part of it. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 17:44, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a collection of random information. -- The Red Pen of Doom 18:23, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So? This is not random information. It is part of what we know about Jason Lee, and someone else even found it a peculiar enough name to mention it on another Wikipedia page. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 19:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And "Pilot Inspektor" even redirects to this page. Clearly many Wikipedians find this information notable. 83.86.153.204 (talk) 23:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that Jason has a son is notable. WP:BIO#Family and WP:BLP#Privacy of names do not really apply here, WP:BIO#Family relates to inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic (his son is not the article topic and obviously should not have his own article according to WP:BIO#Family) and WP:BLP#Privacy of names relates to a name that has not been widely disseminated (his sons name has been widely disseminated). It is entirely appropriate to list Jasons sons name. For an example see some Featured articles: the Reese Witherspoon article which in her personal life section states: ...a daughter named Ava Elizabeth, born September 9, 1999,[110] and a son Deacon Reese, born October 23, 2003.[107]. Miranda Otto states ...have one child, a daughter Darcey, who was born on April 1, 2005. There should be no concern adding Pilot Inspektor as Jasons son (with reference of course). Mr Bungle | talk 06:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree with this. Any objections? 83.86.153.204 (talk) 22:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, didn't notice that it had already been re-added. Merry Christmas. :) 83.86.153.204 (talk) 02:57, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scientology

[edit]

When did he become a scientologist, or has he always been one (i.e. born into it)? I think this is notable information.

Expansion tag for "Skateboarding" section

[edit]

I have completed a fair chunk of work on this section today, but the "Skateboarding" part of this article really needs to be expanded due to Lee's notable status in the sub-culture.--Soulparadox (talk) 07:27, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Current Pro Skate or "Former" ?

[edit]

I have some reservations about whether Lee can accurately be described as currently being a pro-skater. He certainly was, but sources like IMDB, not particularly reliable, suggest he has retired. After all he is 43 or so. Can't find any good sources, IMHO, either way. 220 of Borg 17:03, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overhaul

[edit]

Just completed a much needed major overhaul of the article to bring it back to encyclopedic standards. Recent edits added some unnecessary content, unreliable references, and subsections that really didn't comply with MOS. Any thoughts on the changes? Please discuss here. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 16:49, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Away and Back

[edit]

The film Away and Back is listed under "Television" when it should be under "Filmography" 72.242.35.23 (talk) 02:15, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quality standards and sourcing

[edit]

As with all articles on public figures, please avoid using tabloid sources and gossip/celebrity blogs. Some issues that need serious correction:

  • The personal life section mentions Scientology only in passing as an alleged reason claimed by his former wife for their separation -- as it stands, it's not particularly WP:NPOV as it doesn't even bother to give the perspective from the subject's (Jason Lee) point of view. That should be corrected.
  • No background on Lee's involvement in Scientology is given for context, which given his ex-wife's allegations should be provided, even if only minimally so.
  • The main body is the article could use better inline sourcing and adhering to the basic facts and avoiding vague or speculative interpretations, which given the subject's notability, shouldn't be too difficult.

Born April 25 1970 (Early life) or April 16 1920 (Introduction and Short personalia list)? Didn't know he was over 70 in the Kevin Smith movies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2804:431:B708:A126:9D85:39E6:8B28:3B4F (talk) 21:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

playing Stanley Kubrick?

"Years Active"

[edit]

Years active for what? This should be made more clear in the summary box. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Distransient (talk • contribs) 21:00, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Distransient; Although not specified explicitly in the infobox of anyone with the infobox person template, the definition of this parameter is as follows:

"Date range in years during which the subject was active in their principal occupation(s) and/or other activity for which they are notable."

So in this case, Lee is still active in his occupations as a skateboarder, television producer, and actor listed in the infobox. Adog104 Talk to me 03:44, 23 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another TV appearance?

[edit]

Is Jason Lee the ghost that Amy Sedaris discovers living in her closet in the recent Season 1, Episode 4: "Makeover" of At Home with Amy Sedaris?
