I have changed the date of his death. MSNBC reported his death as occurring on Wednesday. [1]Capitalistroadster 21:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Great Talent; Little Page
Hard to believe that this article was just created today. Here's a great bio/obit — http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-072106warden,1,5410883.story?coll=la-headlines-entnews&track=crosspromo Jimcripps 01:36, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
I was sorry to read of his death. I only met him once, but I do write about film and culture. My (too scholarly?) attempt to add to the article-- subtracting nothing-- was simply deleted within minutes. I am a professor and author of works involving cultural contexts. I was enriching the article, I thought. A note informed me that I had violated the principle of neutrality and seemed to be venturing my own conclusions. Banishing originality is no guarantee of neutrality. I get paid to think, and I doubt I can stop. But what, then, was the point of removing my mention of his two Academy Award nominations, after the announcement that he won an Emmy? You create the impression he was primarily a TV actor. He certainly wasn't. It seems like mere Wiki possessiveness on somebody's part. Please post the rationale here, if there was one. I'll check back in a day or two.
[edit] Problem Child 2?
Of all the movies Jack Warden acted in, why does one scene from a sequel to a forgotten movie merit such attention? The "Weren't you ever hungry?" speech asking Jason Robards' Ben Bradlee to give young reporters Woodward and Bernstein a chance to break Watergate in "All The President's Men" certainly strikes me as a more memorable screen moment from Warden's illustrious career, and I'm sure there are many others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.49.228 (talk) 02:52, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
