[edit] Questionable Trivia facts remove

I believe the following to be false. If sources are not provided soon, I will remove these "facts" from the talk page.

• Stamos is believed to enjoy both deep sea fishing and playing croquet.
• Stamos intentionally gave a poor performance at his audition for the role of Professor X in X-Men in order to ensure that Patrick Stewart received the part.

The section about his early life should be tagged for revision. It is poorly written and there is no source referenced.

[edit] Newer Photo Needed

Can someone not find a newer photo to place on this entry? The one on here now is 16 years old! T. White 06:05, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

So what? Why does everyone want a current photo? Doesn't an early-1990s photo make more sense, since that was when he was most popular? Anyway, this photo is CC-licensed, which is ideal; if it's to be replaced, it must be with another CC- or GFDL-licensed one. —Chowbok 16:48, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

No, that does not make sense. This isn't an archive; it's supposed to be updated info about the person and the photo should be updated as well. Besides, it's an awful photo and does not capture the actor's usual appearance.

I disagree—where does it say photos should be current? It's an encyclopedia, not People Magazine—but if you want to replace it, feel free. Just be sure that it's freely-licensed, otherwise it'll be deleted. —Chowbok

That picture is horrible, put a better one up.

If you have a problem with the current photo, you're more than welcome to edit the page on your own. I doubt complaining about the photo will get it changed. Human historian 09:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brother?

Does John Stamos have a brother? This article says no, the first Big Gay Al episode article says yes. Inconsistency abounds. --Fire Star 火星 01:05, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

No, Richard Stamos was made up for that episode of South Park.

[edit] He isn't best friends with Matt Stone!

Geez

[edit] Semi-Protection request

Too many recent vandal edits. Semi-Protection is requested.

[edit] Publicity photo

There is no reason to have a fair-use image in this article, especially as we already have a free one. That image is okay to illustrate the character's article, but not this one. Please do not re-add. —Chowbok ☠ 16:24, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

OK! Jacklee 21:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
