Talk:Dick Van Dyke

Military service data inconsistency?
The side bar lists his service as 1943-1946, but the body of the article says he enlisted in 1944. Which one is correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.5.72.108 (talk) 16:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
 * The current sources indeed say he enlisted in 1944. I've removed the years in the infobox until it can be reliably sourced. Stoarm (talk) 18:22, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Picture of Van Dyke at the White House in 2021 is labeled as Van Dyke in December 2021, but it was taken in May. Suggested change: change label to "Van Dyke in May 2021"

Books written by Dick Van Dyke
I am currently reading a book written by Dick Van Dyke that was published in 2015. It is not listed on his Wikipedia page. Here is the information: Van Dyke, Dick (2015). Keep Moving: And Other Tips and Truths About Aging. Hachette Books. ISBN 9781602862968. 199.30.87.11 (talk) 21:56, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

In the second paragraph of the introduction it says "a role which earned him the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical" and links to the page for that award. This is inaccurate. He won the award for "Best Featured Actor in a Musical" as is correctly stated/linked lower in the "Radio and Stage" section under "Career". 199.192.158.242 (talk) 18:48, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

His career spanned 8 decades.
1940s-1 1950s-2 1960s-3 1970s-4 1980s-5 1990s-6 2000s-7 2010s-8 2020s-9 combine the 2020s with 1940s as we are only at the start of the 2020s. you get 8 decades LatviaRich (talk) 17:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

He has now appeared on “Days of Our Lives”, though he isn’t even the oldest actor to appear on that show! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:4300:EE90:42B:77F:67CC:B81B (talk) 22:42, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I think that Dick’s son Barry should be included in the “relatives” section. He has his own Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Van_Dyke 72.22.31.42 (talk) 12:08, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Add info that he attended Crawfordsville High School (Indiana) prior to moving to Danville. My dad was in his class and I have the yearbook(s) with pictures in them. Lizziebeth10 (talk) 02:30, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

When mentioning Dick Van Dyke in the 1980 revival of "The Music Man," it should mention that it was NOT a Broadway revival, rather it was an off-Broadway revival at the New York City Center. 76.169.198.75 (talk) 04:08, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
