[edit] Saw IV

If it was "confirmed" that he's going to be in Saw IV, why is there no citation? There is no mention of this anywhere to back up this claim. I'm removing this. The section is called "credits" not "wild rumors"

If you are going to put it back in you better have a source.

I thought the same thing. If this was 100% true, then all the rumor/movie sites would have some sort of cite. - The Alpha Couple 22:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Is that knoxville in the caffreys advert from a few years ago?

Born? Do you mean founded? My, most of the articles on wiki are either plagarized or written by dolts. Save your storage and just have everyones 'user page' under pseudointellectual. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.67.228.134 (talk) 18:51, August 23, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Can whoever is reverting my edits explain why before doing so again? Among what I did was remove birthplace/name from opening (see WP:MOSBIO for the only things needed to be included there), fixed up the section outlining the films he's been in, which was listed in a bullet-point, trivia style (WP:TRIVIA), use the common reference style ("reflist"), alphabetize the categories, and introduce the paragraph heading style that seems to be used everywhere (i.e. FAs like Lindsay Lohan or Diane Keaton). All Hallow's Wraith 03:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

No, you did not use the paragraph naming convention used everywhere. Those articles you cited do not have a subheading named "biography" (the whole damn thing is a biography), real names are almost always used in the lead sentence, the filmography was not trivia, it was a list format which is perfectly fine to use, there is no edict saying that {{reflist}} is better than <references /> (which can give you more control over how the references look) and there is no reason to alphabetize the categories. In short, none of your changes seemed to have improved the article, so I reverted them rather than spend the time picking out the the most glaring mistakes to keep the other unneeded changes. — Ocatecir^T 03:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say the whole thing is a biography - the references and external links aren't. All Hallow's Wraith 03:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Now you're just being silly. — Ocatecir^T 03:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, not quite sure how this works, but PJ didn't graduate from South-Doyle, he graduated from South-Young High School in South Knoxville. South-Doyle HS did not exist prior to fall of 1991 when South-Young and Doyle were merged. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.13.110.211 (talk) 12:17, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
