I re-added his real name. This was edited out by Bostonlegal (alleged to be Chris by another unregistered user) - not sure why it wasn't reverted back. Holford (talk) 02:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I re-added his real name again, exactly three years since noted above. Holford (talk) 00:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Edited out the number of years the Christians have been married, as this obviously changes on their anniversary each year. If relevant, it would be more appropriate to mention the year of their marriage instead. Also edited out that they live with their four children. Having apparently been married 34 years in 2011, it seems unlikely that all of his children would still be living at home. Holford (talk) 01:38, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

It didn't take three years this time to have to re-add his real name. As editor BGSH only has this edit and the one used to mask it from watch lists, I suspect BGSH is another identity for Bostonlegal. Holford (talk) 13:29, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

My correction of his birth year was again changed back to the incorrect date. Apparently Chris got his driver's license at age 12, entered college at age 14 and graduated at age 18. Leexray (talk) 21:41, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not even going to bother editing the article since, based on its history, probably would wind up doing no good. But fwiw I'll just post here in talk that this TEXAS MONTHLY article from 1985 mentions Chris' real name as "Lon Christian Smith" (why would anyone want to keep that out of the Wikipedia entry?) and says he was born "34 years ago," which, unless that was a typo/misprint would make his birth year 1951 (as the person claiming to be his cousin tried to edit in). 98.193.155.106 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 16:43, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Grammy winner? Grammy site says no.
The official Grammy awards database doesn't list anything under "Chris Christian". That needs solid confirmation or it's out of here. John Nagle (talk) 23:20, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

removal of maintenance template
It's well-known that birth roles and indices are unreliable. A quick search of WP:RSN's archives will support that claim. However, I'd be happy to either remove the source or take this to an RfC to attempt to keep it. The choice is up to the editor who initially added the source.

"I'm So Excited"
I edited this article to remove a claim that Christian wrote the Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited". The original record clearly credits the three Pointer sisters and Trevor Lawrence as the writers, according to Discogs he doesn't appear in the credits of either of the albums the song is found on, and in a lengthy interview with Chris Christian about his music career dated November 10, 1983, the year after the song's release, neither he nor his interviewer mentions the song or the Pointer Sisters (the Texas Monthly article cited above also doesn't mention the song). I didn't remove the reference to the Pointer Sisters in the list of artists he's worked with as it's possible he may have collaborated with them on something else, though I haven't seen any specific evidence of that.
