Walk of Fame[edit]

Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame--what an excellent thing to add. I like it.  :-) (I meant to look for John Wayne's while I was in L.A. but forgot). --KQ 19:31 Aug 19, 2002 (PDT)

One of these days I'll get around to doing an article on the Walk of Fame. -- Zoe

Marriage with Pickford[edit]

Did Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford get married on March 18, 1920 ? The Wikipage Mary Pickford says March 28. Can someone in the know confirm the date and fix this accordingly, please ? -- PFHLai 03:29, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)

Thanks to Nunh-huh for fixing the wedding date. -- PFHLai 04:17, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)

Article title[edit]

Is there any particular reason why this isn't at Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., to match Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.? I suppose he wasn't known as that during his lifetime, at least until his son became famous, but I would guess it is a fairly common way of referring to him these days. It would look neater if the two articles were disambiguated in the same way. sjorford →•← 14:15, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It was until it was moved in May. I agree "Douglas Fairbanks, Sr." is more consisent, plus googling seems to indicate it is the 'most common' form of the name, so I moved it back. Niteowlneils 23:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

moved[edit]

I found this content at the disambig page (following a redirect), and moved it here with its subject. --studerby 22:15, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Westerns[edit]

This article speaks very little of Fairbanks' contribution to the Western genre. He was prominant in establishing a superhero-esque cowboy character which would later be echoed with the Lone Ranger and Cisco kid. Something should be said about this in the article. Gaylan Studlar in Michael Coyne's 'Back In The Saddle Again' writes about him and his work.

Per debate and discussion re: assessment of the approximate 100 top priority articles of the project, this article has been included as a top priority article. Wildhartlivie (talk) 11:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessment[edit]

Recommend reassessing as C-Class, as the current version does not appear to meet B-Class standards. Viriditas (talk) 12:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gender trouble[edit]

This sentence makes no sense...

" After they had another son, Norris, she divorced Wilcox, with Charles acting as her own lawyer in the suit."

Did SHE act as her own lawyer? Or did CHARLES act as HER lawyer?

Or something else entirely? 2600:1700:CA10:18A0:9C38:FF7D:3C76:EFCD (talk) 00:09, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
