Talk:Ronald Ribman

Award winning
Sorry, i hit the wrong bottom before i could type in an edit summary. Not needed in the lead unless seriously note worthy. thank you --72.209.9.165 (talk) 00:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * By "unless seriously noteworthy", are you referring to him or the award? -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 00:26, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * To the award, sorry. Noble would be worthy of inclusion in the lead sentence. Maybe further into the article. It still is mentioned I believe. --72.209.9.165 (talk) 00:28, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If it were one award I might agree. But as he's won multiple awards, and in aggregate he can reasonably be considered "award winning." -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 00:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * multiple?2 or 3?, which ones are we talking about? Really not needed in the lead, very peacocky. If you look at other bios, the bar is much higher, as it should be. Just stick to the basics in the lede and then flesh the rest out, especially in a short bio like this. --72.209.9.165 (talk) 00:42, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Critical commentary section
Can this section be improved or removed. We have one random quote from who?? Thank you --72.209.9.165 (talk) 00:34, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No. But you can add to it if you wish. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 00:38, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The section just seems sort of aukward, what is it trying to say about the man? not really sure. --72.209.9.165 (talk) 00:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Quote isn't so random; it's from the American Repertory Theatre. The idea was to have one or two examples of what has been said about Ribman. Initial information had many more, but that would have been too peacocky. I felt one example was sufficient. If you could find more contemporary discussions of Ribman's work, that would be great. -- Avi (talk) 15:58, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
