Talk:Will Sampson

Date of birth
It differs from the one written on his tombstone at Find-A-Grave. Lincher 21:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

About
After seeing his film appearances, he is obviously a large man. I've had trouble finding any info, and would like to see it posted if anyone can find that as it seems pertinent information.

 * IMDB lists him as 6'-5" tall, but IMDB isn't always acceptable as a reliable source. However, it's obvious that he was very tall, when you see screencaps of him with other actors -- MinervaK (talk) 02:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Imprisonment
In the article, it is stated that another actor said Sampson was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. If he was indeed imprisoned, when and why? Also, a citation would be needed. --Bernardoni (talk) 20:24, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

Reword "Actor" section?
Under actor, it says

"Sampson appeared in the production of Black Elk Speaks with the American Indian Theater Company in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where David Carradine and other Native American actors (such as Wes Studi and Randolph Mantooth) have appeared in stage productions."

Carradine was not a Native American. The way he is listed here makes it sound like he was. I'm not sure that he really needs to be mentioned at all, as the focus of the thought is on Native American actors. It's not like Sampson and Carradine were in the production together, were they?

Find-A-Grave unreliable?
When did the Find-A-Grave website become unreliable? There are thousands of Wikipedia pages that reference that website? Are all those links set to be removed from all those other pages as well?

 * @Quebec99, I can't answer your question, "When did the Find-A-Grave website become unreliable?", but WP:USERGENERATED clearly names it as one of a number of "unacceptable user-generated sources". Eddie Blick (talk) 00:00, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Teblick ok, thanks Quebec99 (talk) 00:11, 21 May 2023 (UTC)
