Clarification[edit]

The article states Austion sold half of his business to Harrison. Which Harrison? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.48.159.112 (talk • contribs) 18:56, 9 July 2013

Rick. I just added that detail now. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightscream (talk • contribs) 06:51, 27 July 2013

Poorly Written[edit]

This article is in need of a rewrite. Redundant information/paragraphs. I imagine there is not a lot of credible information sources available on Mr. Russell. Seth1066 (talk) 05:10, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What information or paragraphs are redundant? Nightscream (talk) 06:51, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Austin Russell → Chumlee – With an {{other uses}} tag in the article. Another alternatives are Austin "Chumlee" Russell and Chumlee Russell. He is mostly known as "Chumlee". In this Huffington article "Chumlee" is used 21 times, while "Russell" 0x. TMZ uses most of the times "Chumlee" and in a few ocassions "Austin 'Chumlee' Russell" Tbhotch.^™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 01:20, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed sentence/inaccurate citation[edit]

I've taken the liberty of removing a sentence (under 'Career') discussing Chumlee's weekly income, which is inaccurate and misleading. The sentence claims that Chumlee earns $100,000 a week - however, the cited article states no such thing and in fact clearly references that Chumlee has never mentioned any sort of income, nor does it present any information which would allow a reasonable estimation as to his income level.

I see Nighthawk reverted the change http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chumlee&diff=594543047&oldid=594482474 saying "It is not misleading, as it is supported by a citation of the source from which it was derived"

Could we add his yearly income is $1,923,000 assuming ((Boob Job / literally a couple hours of work ) x 40)) x 52 87.115.18.127 (talk) 05:29, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We should have something about his earnings. Also can we please remove that he is a businessman???? Owning 1 shop does not make you a businessman. Selling merch (with your face on it) does not make you a business person.

Yes, owning a single business does make someone a businessman or businessperson! And, in fact, he obviously owns several businesses, including shares in Pawn Stars as described in the article. Rmanke (talk) 22:54, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism?[edit]

I see vandalism on this page, something about IQ of 21 and IQ of 7 at the end of the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 179.7.212.234 (talk) 03:09, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Legal or Illegal Weapons[edit]

The Legal troubles section states that there were 11 other legally owned firearms, but also mentions felony weapon charges. Is this just a typo, were the weapons illegally owned? 155.95.98.53 (talk) 16:05, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The way I understand it, the guns themselves are legal; possessing guns in conjunction while possessing illicit drugs is illegal. --Gapmtn1 (talk) 16:27, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Legal Troubles[edit]

The Legal Troubles section begins abruptly. Did something get eaten? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8800:7D00:35D0:513A:730A:60AB:A032 (talk) 15:31, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Appears that there was a removal of a paragraph, leading to this unclear beginning of section. I reintroduced the paragraph, edited it down, added a few citations (lack of citation was claimed reason for removal). --Gapmtn1 (talk) 16:30, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chumley History[edit]

Why is "The first reference to the name Chumley is in the Domesday Book of 1086...etc" even included? This isn't a page for the history of the word/name Chumley. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:19E:8080:98D0:6955:F2E2:B452:4046 (talk) 16:22, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It's gone. HiLo48 (talk) 01:50, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
