If the items in trivia are notable, they should fit logically into the prose somewhere, if it doesn't it's probably not worth including it. Only mention it, because when you push for GA or higher, Trivia sections are generally frowned upon :-) Keep up the good work! --plange 02:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC) (edit)

[edit] privacy

hi, this is Michael Oliver. while i may have been involved in "the industry" while i was still a child, some of the info on here should not be public domain. frankly, i value my privacy, and do not intend this page, as valuable as it may be, to become a "sightings" list. i travel frequently, and i prefer certain aspects of my life to be kept private. i've been very good at keeping a simple, normal existence, and i'd really like to keep it that way. if i spot something on here(ie, full names of people i'm dating/have dated, specific locations, etc), i will delete them.

while i know this may seem a bit uppity, i do hope the other people on here understand that privacy is something that most people take for granted; i have to constantly fight for mine, and i'm always cautious. i have to be. not everyone that digs up such information is harmless.

[edit] hello again(from RoadiePC)

it seems a mr Bill Gibron has found this, and, as per his history, is using it to let loose his personal insults. this is not the first tims, and frankly, i have no idea where his vendetta against me came from.

regardless, my lady saw his "Addition" to the wiki and has wiped it. i told her about the editing process and there will be discussion/moderators' support next time there's an issue. just wanted to clarify.

[edit] Request assessment

Requesting an assessment on Michael Oliver (actor).

[edit] Update

Have begun adding citations to the article and will try and finish this week.

Would like to also do the Personal life section up with the same scope and detail as the Career section if sufficient verifiable information can be secured.

[edit] No homepage...

Many have asked why put anything in the "homepage" section of the actors' bio box if there is no official website?

Why not? 2 reasons.

First, it saves the user a lot of wasted time on search engines looking for one.

Second, it gives the impetus for these poeple to get an official website!

'Nuff said?

[edit] Clean-up

...you left nothing to cleanup.

[edit] i apologize

i know that i've been a non-presence here, and it's not without its reasons: for one, work has been chaotic, and then some. i know that i've been promising a decent picture to represent me as i am now, and it's not easy when i'm away from home and away from most of my stuff. as it stands, my laptop is on its way out, and after an issue requiring reformat, i had to spend some time trying to remember my password here. also, that leaves the issue of my picture (somewhat) explained as well...i lost pretty much anything that was on this harddrive, too.

all said, i know how this can sound like a lot of excuses, but they are valid. i haven't forgotten my promises, i've been delayed. i am still working on that picture, and maybe when i get back home i'll solve the website issue as well.

on other topics, i've been trying to be a non-presence on the internet in general, as there have been some people on IMDB that've spent their every waking hour trying to slander/insult me. pretty much any reply on that front is only going to make it worse, so i figured silence would be best there.

i don't recall any letter needing to be validated, if i've forgotten something important, i'm sorry. i have other things on my mind lately. please let me know if i'm missing anything other than addressed.

as far as being deleted from public record, i never said anything of the sort--but who i am now is a far cry from who i portrayed so long ago, and as i've said, i like it that way. it's very easy for people to take someone in my position as just "the problem child", and i am still another human being trying to carve my own path. in that vein, i take pride on the accomplishments that i've earned. truth be told, i feel i was just a seven-year-old that fit a "look" and got lucky.

i'm certainly not trying to snub anyone here, i am doing what i can, but please understand that i do have other things to deal with as of late. Trez, you've been an enourmous help, and i don't have the words to thank you. i will be contacting you as things develop, as they are certain to do soon. if you feel you've run out of patience with me, i understand, and still thank you for all you've done thus far. once again, i apologize.

[edit] Problem Child 2 Lawsuit, or a Glorified Fansite?

Hey, trezjr, wanna maybe add these articles about the "Problem Child" 2 holdout and the lawsuit against Oliver? This is verifiable information, not hearsay. NotRoadiePC 10:46 21 Feb 2008
