Elia Kazan is listed as Hungarian. Elsewhere he is listed as having Greek parents and being born in Istanbul. Obviously an error here.

Use it as a reference? What, the bit about some star trek episode first being shown? Loons.

[edit] Sharons Visit

To limit the item to mentioning Sharons visit (and also only referring to it, as the Mosque and not the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism) makes that entry, opinionated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ucscottb4u (talk • contribs) .

"Al-Aqsa Intifada begins", while technically a whole sentence, is far too insufficient. Whether Sharon's visit was the cause -- or intent -- it's indisputable that the violence followed his visit, which is what the entry says. Trying to remove this is a form of whitewashing. And as for the Temple Mount argument, please don't tell me you're going to recycle the old "it's holier to us than it is to them!" argument. --CalendarWatcher 01:13, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

This has nothign to do with my point of view. My edits are about REMOVING point of view. if i wanted to add my point of view there are like 12 different things that could be added on the other side of the argument. lets just leave it at it began this day. Its not a question of who the site is holier to, its holy to both religions but that again is not why i remved the reference to Sharon. Ucscottb4u 01:36, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Ucscottb4u...I didn't revert the substance of the dispute. Here's what I deleted, because it adds nothing to the entry:
"It would continue for another 6 years." Was there a definitive ending?
Can we all accept the Mitchell Report as an unbiased source? Here's what he says; does this help?
Accordingly, we have no basis on which to conclude that there was a deliberate plan by the PA to initiate a campaign of violence at the first opportunity; or to conclude that there was a deliberate plan by the GOI to respond with lethal force. However, there is also no evidence on which to conclude that the PA made a consistent effort to contain the demonstrations and control the violence once it began; or that the GOI made a consistent effort to use non-lethal means to control demonstrations of unarmed Palestinians. Amid rising anger, fear, and mistrust, each side assumed the worst about the other and acted accordingly.
The Sharon visit did not cause the "Al-Aqsa Initifada." But it was poorly timed and the provocative effect should have been foreseen; indeed it was foreseen by those who urged that the visit be prohibited. More significant were the events that followed: the decision of the Israeli police on September 29 to use lethal means against the Palestinian demonstrators; and the subsequent failure, as noted above, of either party to exercise restraint.
FWIW, I'm completely neutral here...my only interest is in establishing where WP:NPOV can be found. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 01:45, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

That is all i want to. Thats why i kept removing the part about Sharons visit. It is an opinion not a fact.Ucscottb4u 02:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tomato

I removed an entry that stated "1820 - The tomato is publicly proven safe when Robert Johnson eats a bushel (24 kg) of tomatoes in Salem, Massachusetts." According to the tomato page, the story was concocted in the mid 20th century and there is scant evidence the event actually occurred. Bo Lawler 28Sep06
