Talk:Stephan Jenkins

Picture?
Why was this image removed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stephan-jenkins.jpg BrianAshe (talk) 13:39, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Gpeteskies replaced it with a different image, which was then deleted as a copyright violation. I've restored the old image (and for good measure added it to the German and French articles too). --Zundark (talk) 15:48, 9 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the fix! BrianAshe (talk) 16:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Oakland
I find no support for "Oakland" in the credible sources, so I'm removing it. The California Birth Index puts his birth in San Bernardino County.Wjhonson (talk) 14:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)

Valedictorian Issue
Not sure why he claims to be the 1987 UC Berkeley valedictorian. First, I can't find any evidence that UCBerk. nominates a valedictorian separate and distinct from the University Medal. It seems like the University Medal winner gives a valedictory address. If this is the case, Jenkins claims - and the 2003 SF Gate article which published them - are patently wrong. And obviously so. The University maintains a list of the University Medal winners going back to 1871. Jenkins is not on that list. Further, it doesn't appear that Jenkins received any awards or honors while at UC Berkeley.

There is another possibility. Jenkins could have received a department citation from the english department. Records of departmental awards are not available on UC Berkeley's website. However, this is a slim possibility. In any case, Jenkins certainly misled people by claiming he was the UC Berkeley valedictorian. This is true even if he was awarded some department specific award. 12.41.10.202 (talk) 17:42, 25 June 2013 (UTC)


 * It appears that you are entirely correct; Gawker did a deep-dive on this today. I think it's valid to now remove. Jason t c 14:24, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * There's also a follow-up from Stereogum in which it clarifies that he was selected by faculty to give a "valedictory address" for just the English department. That seems to be the root of the misunderstanding. Beginning (talk) 19:01, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

"Alternative"
If Third Eye Blind is "alternative music" then any meaning to that term is official dead. Alternative to what? This is as mainstream as music can possibly get. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.200.115 (talk) 18:12, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Indio/SB
As stated above, SJ was not born in Indio. He was born in San Bernardino. I lived in the LA County area for 24 years and am completely familiar with almost all SoCal. Indio is still almost two hours from SB. ToriJana (talk) 06:42, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Acting Career
PizzaParrot (talk) 18:52, 30 September 2018 (UTC)After checking various sources for cast information and searching various combinations of keywords, there doesn't seem to be any source (other than this article itself) for the claim that Jenkins ever appeared in an acting capacity on Nickelodeon's "All That." Unless someone can locate and appropriately cite a source in the next week, I plan to remove that statement as of October 6th, 2018. It can be re-added if and when that claim is verifiable.
