[edit] potential vandalism

colorless green windbreaker? how can a jacket be green and also colorless? i dont believe 'colorless' to be a shade of green. it is a paradoxical statement and a probable vandalism.



[edit] Guest appearances

>>Winkler also has critically acclaimed guest appearances on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

What exactly is a "critically acclaimed guest appearance" on a talk show? Which critcs "acclaimed" his appearances? Should be sourced or removed.



Daydream believer2, are you saying his guest appearance on King of the Hill is not encyclopedic? Btyner 21:36, 25 August 2005 (UTC)


Sorry, Btyner, I by no means intended to omit that appearance - I was called away halfway through editing - however I felt that the previous wording was unnecessary. Unless one was going to list all of his guest appearances by date, there is no reason why a guest role on King of the Hill should be listed with date and other details when most of his other guest roles aren't. I have returned the information, but placed it along with other guest appearances Mr. Winkler has made. :) Daydream believer2 04:57, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ph.D

One thing I'd like to know: Was his doctorate in Hebrew Literature honorary? If not, it's amazing that he'd have time to gain it during those explosive few years of growth leading to 1978. Further info, anyone? --tgeller 09:24, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

He doesn't have a Ph.D. (even Honorary), so I made the appropriate edit.

Yeah I don't think he has a Ph.D, only a few places mention it, and those are probably getting their info from here. As far as I can tell Emerson doesn't even have a anything to do with Hebrew Literature or even offer Ph.D's. I'm deleting until anybody can prove it. HybridFusion 21:12, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

He didn't get his Ph.D., and in fact, was on Happy Days at the time.

[edit] King of TV

The King of TV, paul goebel http://www.thekingoftv.com/, does a game in his podcast called 6 degrees of Henry Winkler. Perhaps that could appear in the trivia section? Benbenbenben

[edit] Vandalism

I've edited the Personal Life and Career section to remove what seems to be vandalism. All of Henry Winkler's children's names were changed, and his wife's name was preceded by "former buddhist monk...". " Also, his parents were listed as buddhists, and his birthplace was changed to "fonzetown, mass". I removed a cited reference to "buddhistjournal.com" which resolved to a placeholder web page without content. In the Career section I corrected various changes like "Lords of Flatballs", "Ron Burgundy" instead of "Ron Howard", and "Night Stuff" instead of "Night Shift".

Can someone please check the remainder of this page for other errors. I can't figure out how to correct fonztown, mass. reference near photo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Caseywasser (talk • contribs) 17:57, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
