Talk:Robert Gant

Latino?

If his birth last name is Gonzalez, is he Latino? Cuban? He's from Florida. jcm 2/21/8 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chumley41 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Biography

CLW, While I don't feel the biography that I wrote needed to be changed, I also know that I am not an editor here, and so accept the fact that I have to leave your changes as posted. However, I would appreciate it if you would leave the mythgarden, (spelled with a lowercase, m) information posted in his biography. If you don't like the way I wrote it, please change it to what you deem is more acceptable for this site. Abisel

A Wikipedia article holds a different standard then a biography on a fansite or portals like IMDB. So I cleaned this up a bit Anxa (talk) 18:25, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

|status = none Considering the two photos shown here, which is the better for the infobox? Choice #1 is the current infobox photo, choice #2 is being proposed. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 17:35, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Choices

#1

#2

Infobox images to choose from

Choice #1

Choice #2

• Support Choice #1 is not optimal as it shows the article subject only in profile and is blurry. Choice #2 is not as current, however, it is a clear photo and shows the actor's entire face. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 17:35, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support (Summoned by bot) Choice 2 is clearer and larger. Though it is nearly a decade old, it will be good enough. d.g. L3X1 (distænt write) )evidence( 12:16, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support - May not be the current up to date image however it is clearer, larger and shows his face much better, –Davey2010^Talk 13:23, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support - This image is far better even if it is older. Its straight on, closer up, more clear, and has better lighting. Meatsgains (talk) 01:18, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support: I predict a continued landslide here, the call is such a no-brainer. While many editors see a degree of value in recency of photos for BLPs, this is by no means the only factor, and photo #1 is just simply nowhere near the quality one expects for a lead/infobox image. It's poorly framed, poorly focused, taken from a far from ideal angle, and has other technical and aesthetic issues to boot. Image #2 is by far the more ideal choice--at least until we have another option altogether. Snow ^{let's rap} 05:49, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
• Support #2 is a lot better, for a image appearing at the top of an article, #1 would be an option if the article had more pictures throughout it, would work in Activism section since its from a GLAAD event, but imo the article and that section as it is are both pretty short to warrant additional pictures at the moment.

• Support (Summoned by bot) The other alternative is simply not as good, and also cuts off the top of his head. Coretheapple (talk) 15:48, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support - 2 as simply a more complete picture. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:52, 15 July 2017 (UTC)
• Support - Summoned by bot. The proposed image is head on, has better lighting, and is closer up. Meatsgains (talk) 01:00, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

Header at top of wiki page

Hi,

am curious why this top banner has been there for four years?

A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page.

Can it be removed and who can do that? Mirth1220 (talk) 13:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

The tag is there because this article has a history of being edited by editors who only edit this article, some of whom have disclosed a conflict of interest with the subject of the article (see links at the top of this talk page). It could be removed if neutral editors agreed that the article is now free of non-neutral or promotional content. Mirth1220 you are another editor who has only edited this article - have you read the conflict of interest guidelines and are you able to disclose if you do or do not have a relevant connection to the subject? Thanks Melcous (talk) 20:45, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

actually, i also edited run dmc recently. i had also done so years ago but the change was taken out. Mirth1220 (talk) 20:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

also the content i added to both run c and robert gant is neutral. with run dmc it lists something from king of rock as the definition of dmc and with gant, added two groups he performed in. what’s non-neutral about that? Mirth1220 (talk) 20:53, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
