[edit] Section on Rating System
Is it appropriate to have that section on the rating system in Valenti's bio? Seems like a link to either MPAA#Rating system or MPAA film rating system would be more appropriate. The info provided in the section Jack Valenti#Movie Rating System is rather sketchy, and that there's not much point in maintaining two (or three!) different writeups of the MPAA rating system. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cgranade (talk • contribs) 18:17, 8 October 2006
[edit] Death announced this afternoon and we've got vandals
How do I move to get this page protected from new and unregistered users? -- Nick Douglas 01:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- ReyBrujo took care of it; we should be vandal-free for a few days until Valenti fades out of the news. Editor Emeritus 02:31, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
- He was the worst person ever alive, and screwed the whole world through US government by lobbying for copyrights. He sure was important to vandals :) Anyway, now that he is dead, he is no more a "living person" by the definition of dying, and I propose to remove BLP tags and cats.18jahremädchen 07:52, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
I have just the following to say ....
celebrate! celebrate! celebrate! Raise a toast the bastard is dead !!
Well almost...the Prince of Darkness has announced that
Valenti shall be forced to a face an MPAA submission review over
and over and over for 100,000 years !!!
God bless The Devil for bringing the world Justice !!
- What did his tombstone say? In one of his interviews he expressed, "I don't know what's going to be on my tombstone harry but I'd like to write it and say, "That the modest legacy that Jack Valenti left the movie industry was he freed the screen from all artificial barriers." I was just wondering if anyone knows if this happened or not. OttOO 20:37, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Madeira School
One of his children is listed as going to the Madeira. Why is the reference to the Madeira school in this article? What importance is it? How about the schools of his other kids? How about their colleges? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mwinog2777 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 27 April 2007
[edit] More Vandals
Just letting you guys know that somebody has changed Valenti's occupation to "coffin stuffer". I personally didn't like Valenti, but I respect the standards of Wikipedia, so I compromised: I'm not going to change it. Somebody else can. here7ic 17:01, 6 May 2007
[edit] Honors
Concerning the MPAA's building being named for him and his office space on the 8th floor. I know this first hand as I briefly worked in the office across from him and his assistant introduced herself when we moved in. I also ran into him in the elevator on occasion. 69.140.38.97 23:42, 27 August 2007 (UTC)JG
[edit] More Pics
I'm tempted to add "the other" picture of the event described, but I resist it. I was surprised & interested to learn that was Valenti on the plane with LBJ. The "other pic" is "The Wink", and isn't that Bill Moyers on the far right side? --ProudPrimate 20:41, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
