Talk:Michael Fishman

Birth info?
Is there a reliable source that he was born in Cuba, his middle name is "Desmond", and his original surname "Quatil"? This information was added by an anonymous editor about a year ago. I can not find any reliable source to verify it. However, Michael Fishman and both of his siblings are listed in the California Birth Index (searchable here - ) which is a definitive source.

 * Indeed, the California Birth Index shows Fishman having been born in Long Beach on 22 October 1981. IMDB agrees. TV.com says that he was born in Long Beach and on the same page says that he was born in Manzanillo, Cuba. Many web sites that say he was born in Cuba are very obviously getting their information from us, and a lot of the others are social networking sites, such as Facebook. Since no one else has spoken up, I am going to comment-out the stuff about Cuba. Anybody reading this, please feel free to jump into the discussion, especially if you have evidence for or against Fishman's Cuban birth. Peter Chastain (talk) 17:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * A post at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0279896/board/nest/38773976?d=40073490&p=1#40073490 claimes that Michael's given last name is Quatil, and that Fishman is his stepfather's name. --   --   --   22:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violation
I tagged copyvio and then looked at the history enough to see that the violation was introduced fairly recently (26 May 2010), so I reverted it to the last non-plagiarizing version. I now realize that I should not have edited the page after getting the admins involved. So, I think I had better go back and revert to the version that declares copyvio. Apologies for the mess.

 * OK, I have placed the 26 May 2010 (22:44) revision in Talk:Michael Fishman/Temp. That is the last non-plagiarized version. It is short and sweet, and it does not include any of the dubious stuff about Fishman having been born in Cuba. I think we should use that version as the basis for future changes.

Thank you for this. The article has been cleaned of the copyright violation and violating revisions have been deleted. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:45, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes, he really did get married in 1999 at age 18
https://people.com/archive/passages-vol-52-no-20/ A reference in case that early marriage date (for today's world) ever gets questioned. It doesn't seem to have come up so far, so not putting in article itself. Moncrief (talk) 17:50, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
