Infobox influences problem

When making a review, recently, I noticed that there's a nice long "influences" section in the infobox that isn't appearing. Could the primary contributors tell me if this is intentional or something that is broken? --Jackson Peebles (talk) 04:58, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Correction: I forgot that this has been discontinued. Is there any intention of moving it to the content, or would it best be removed altogether? --Jackson Peebles (talk) 05:00, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism

LOL! This site is such a joke. How can such a well-known celeb have his entry vandalized to this extent and no one notice? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.166.117.214 (talk) 21:10, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Can you provide an example of the vandalism you are talking about? I monitor the page pretty frequently and whenever vandalism takes place, it is reverted before I can even get to the page to fix it. Meatsgains (talk) 19:36, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Slavery

Who was his slave-owning ancestor? Is there a direct genealogical link to Thomas Affleck (planter)? Is anyone able to find reliable sources?Zigzig20s (talk) 20:02, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Freedom Rider claim

The article used to claim that his mother was a Freedom Rider. She says that was never true. I removed the false claim, that was never supported by a reliable source. See: London Daily Mail Online--ML (talk) 19:44, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Can we please get a complete filmography?

Is there some special reason for making me read through a professional bio instead of just listing every film he has starred in and/or directed, as almost every other actor has? A filmography with a shortcut labeled "Filmography", so we know it's here. And if it's all in the career section, why didn't the writer of that section simply paste the list he/she was working from into a section? In fact, why doesn't he or she do that right now? How can WIKI even be considered a good reference if it's not easy to reference? Although I do edit on occasion, it's really not why I use WIKI. Thetrellan (talk) 19:06, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

There is a complete filmography at Ben Affleck filmography which is linked in the bio article. As for the burden of making you read, that's how it's done here and you'll just have to accept that or move on. Sundayclose (talk) 19:09, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

Finding Your Roots scandal

Why is this absent from his Wikipedia page? Information taken from his episode of the PBS show Finding Your Roots is cited in two places (references #1 and #9) but the fact that he even appeared on the show (and the subsequent revelations and investigations concerning the fact that he lobbied editors to remove facts about his ancestors) is not present.

http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/finding-your-roots-pbs-ben-affleck-1201621127/ http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/pbs-ben-affleck-finding-your-804969 https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/25/business/media/citing-ben-afflecks-improper-influence-pbs-suspends-finding-your-roots.html http://deadline.com/2015/04/ben-affleck-finding-your-roots-defense-1201413915/ http://www.npr.org/2015/06/25/417516353/henry-louis-gates-apologizes-over-ben-affleck-find-your-roots-episode http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/pbs-finding-your-roots-returns-832976 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/06/25/after-omitting-details-of-ben-afflecks-slave-owning-ancestor-finding-your-roots-is-suspended-by-pbs/

This story was a huge deal and not having it in his Wikipedia page is strange and seems deliberate. It is not tabloid gossip. Nhlgoalie13 (talk) 07:24, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

At peer review, people suggested it was excessive so I took it out. It's back in now Popeye191 (talk) 08:03, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Affleck and Garner calling off divorce?

According to some news outlets, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have called off their divorce to give their marriage another chance. These news have come out lately, around mid-March. One of the websites reporting it is Mirror. Can this be confirmed? --Luka1184 (talk) 20:06, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Wig

How come there is no mention of the fact that he wears a wig? (2A00:23C4:638C:D800:B58D:2DE6:454D:85D6 (talk) 10:33, 6 July 2017 (UTC))

Ben is divorced.

Why has no one updated that? Jennifer filed for divorce and they both signed the documents. It is updated on her page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.130.147.85 (talk) 18:01, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

The divorce has not yet been granted so he's still legally married.Popeye191 (talk) 17:59, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

Also, it has not been updated on her page. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Border Town ‖ 18:10, 30 July 2017 (UTC)
