Great little article, but not a single citation. Matt Thorn (talk) 14:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Exactly. I'd especially like to see some backup for the claim that his portrayal of Charlie Chan was considered racially offensive, considering that Charlie Chan hasn't been played by an Asian actor in a live action production since 1927. I think the editor who posted that is confusing the Martin film with another one starring Peter Ustinov, which was attacked by Asian interest groups. 71.200.138.188 (talk) 04:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Treasury Men In Action"

edit

This was a series with 189 episodes, and Martin was one of the regular stars. It seems a little clunky to list 7 individual episodes, instead of just a general series credit. I will clean this up. If anyone has a legitimate objection, they can revert it. Gil gosseyn (talk) 09:22, 7 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Nationality and Citizenship

edit

According to WP:Ethnicity, the guidelines on biographical structure for Wikipedia, place of birth, previous nationalities and/or ethnicity are not included in the lead. So why is this individual described as "Polish-American" and not simply "American"? Place of birth does not warrant inclusion in the lead unless directly relevant to notability. Similarly with ethnicity, previous nationalities, and/or sexuality, religion, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apoorva Iyer (talkcontribs) 09:38, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
