[edit] Sources

Blech, can anyone clean this up? - Batkins 21:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

No mention of his rabid anti-semitism, and his hotel policies of "No Jews" and the stories on the exceptions to that rule?J. M. 05:56, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

If you can find information from reliable secondary sources (ie not blogs, etc.) that provides info on this, why not add it in? Certainly his attitude shouldn't be hidden, but claims like this do need reliable sourcing. --Charlene 23:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elephant

I'd heard stories about the demise of his beloved pet elephant which supposedly was/is buried at Beacon Hill, including from one eyewitness. It seemed bizarre til I read more of his split personality. Is there verifiable information on that incident? Spunky1 18:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

There is no mention of his signiture song (unless I missed it) "Far Away Places"

[edit] UFO

I understand that a pilot John S. Mark saw a UFO on 25 June 1954. However, none of the sources given in any of the revisions of the article mention Arthur Godfrey so unless there is a more informative print source about this encounter mentioning Godfrey, it shouldn't be mentioned in the article. However, this UFO siting from 1964 might be more notable in Godfrey's life and might deserve a mention. To me these claims only deserve about two sentences in the article at the most. I ask that you do not revert again - please discuss the UFO experiences here on the talk page. Graham87 15:10, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
