Talk:List of people with dwarfism

Contents 1 Alphabetical order 2 Sourcing 3 Kevin Costa 4 Dylan Postl

[edit] Alphabetical order

I think the names should be organised in alphabetical order as currently everything's all over the place and very inconvenient if you're looking for a particular name. Littleghostboo[ talk ] 09:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Go for it!

[edit] Sourcing

I tried to improve sourcing as best I could. I don't think I used IMDB at all or at least I tried not to. Mostly I tried to use online archives of newspapers, history sites, and scholarly articles. Hope it's all on the up and up.--T. Anthony 11:30, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kevin Costa

There is no entry for this actor, nor does the entry for R2-D2 indicate that he ever played that role. Perhaps this entry should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parmadil (talk • contribs) 13:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

It should be Kenny Baker. I'm thinking someone switched it to himself or a friend of his, either way I fixed it.--T. Anthony 10:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

On an unrelated matter I guess Michel Petrucciani fits, as OIs of type III and IV are dwarfish in stature, but that means I also have dwarfism. I relate more to dwarfism than being disabled, but normally I don't really think of myself as either. I have no idea what his position was on that or if he even had one.--T.

[edit] Dylan Postl

I edited the list to include proffesional wrestler Dylan Postl, known as Hornswoggle. Yet it has been removed...why?

It's back now. In essence though you didn't put his name where it should go alphabetically and failed to source it. However seeing his article I'm satisfied he fits and have moved it to the appropriate part. I have some doubts people like Michel Petrucciani fits, but I guess dwarfism is a vague term that just stands for "anyone who is under 147 cm" and my condition is listed in the dwarfism article. So I guess I'm a dwarf as well. I have mixed feelings on that. It's sort of neat to be part of a group people have heard of, but at the same time I've never thought of myself as a dwarf.--T.
