Talk:Frank Vincent

Untitled
This entry is terribly garbled, most particularly with the utterly needless description of the scene from Goodfellas. Could a grown-up have go at it please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.22.226 (talk) 16:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I made a first attempt at tidying up. Please feel free to help. You are aware you can change the entries yourself, are you? Wurdnurd (talk) 13:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Criminal Associations?
The last paragraph (stating he has a crimina history including drug trafficking. The paragraph is NOT CITED.  Something of that nature is potentially defamatory if it's not true.  It needs to be cited, and if not, then removed. JimZDP (talk) 21:26, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, it's been over a week and is still uncited. Given the material is potentially defamatory, I've removed it. JimZDP (talk) 20:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Good Friends?
I'm removing the trivia section. All it seems to point out is that two ACTORS can ACT like they don't like each other when playing a role, then when the director says "cut" they can actually be people (and friends). Thanks for your help Captain Obvious, but most of us actually get that. JimZDP (talk) 03:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Date of birth / age
I see there's some editing and reverting about his age. No matter what "family sources" say, both the article linked for his birthday (!) and IMDB give August 4, 1939 as his dob, as well as news outlets like BBC. I think Wikipedia should stick to the most common sources, so his dob here is wrong, and his age is wrong and should be fixed. Please comment. Jalwikip (talk) 06:48, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

I respect your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. If someone should known about his age, it ought to be his family. Why not use both years, I have seen that been done before with other actors and actresses? Besides, it is not the first or the last time that the birth year has been wrong when it comes to someone working in show business... 194.69.14.78 (talk) 10:22, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This is not a matter of opinion. Wikipedia has policies and procedures regarding what information can be added to an article and how it is added. If you can find a reliable source reporting the information you believe to be correct, you need to cite that source properly when making this kind of change to an established article. If you're not sure what constitutes a reliable source, see WP: RS. Krychek (talk) 18:49, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Date of Birth
He was born on August 4, 1937 according to sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.189.88 (talk) 19:46, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
 * His rep contacted the Huffington Post saying that that date was incorrect.-- Laun  chba  ller  20:05, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 15 September 2017
Please add this obituary. It is mentioned therein that Vincent lied about his age to seem younger.
