[edit] AMW

Shoudn't it be noted that he was featured as a fugitive on America's Most Wanted (and caught)? The info can be found here http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=35412 TJ Spyke 05:52, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Considering he didn't hurt anyone, didn't fit the criteria for being featured on the program and would not have been featured on AMW if he wasn't a celebrity, I personally don't think it's a critical issue. Hotcop2 (talk) 23:06, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Karen

I've replaced the below, for a number of reasons.

On 17 November 2007, Willis wed his long-time love Karen, a lawyer and executive.

Firstly, it's uncited. The only cites I could find are intentionally vague on the identity of his wife, perhaps they wish to keep her privacy. Either way, no mention is made about the length of their relationship prior to marriage. The description of her as his 'love' is also un-encyclopaedic language. It's not up to Wikipedia to define the nature of their relationship, or speculated how Willis feels about his wife, just state the known facts; they're married. If we have a cited quote, then perhaps it could be added. But until then there's no place for this.--Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I'd try to explain this to you, but since you do not accept emails I'm not going to do this on a public forum. BTW, "Love" is not a P.O.V. issue; it's a description, like "woman" which sounds caveman-like. Soon, everything will be cited (one cannot attribute a book that isn't out yet, can one?)
