John Wayne
I'm sorry to bug you about this, but you'll be blocked again if you continue to insert information without backing it up properly. I was impressed by your insert into George V, and I have provided a reference for it for you. You clearly can make valuable contributions, but you need to calm things down on the John Wayne page, and engage in discussion with the editors there. Thanks. DrKiernan 16:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

This was on Wayne's page for MONTHS, and every single sentence is demonstrably true:

The outbreak of World War II saw a deluge of support for America's war effort from all sectors of society, and Hollywood was no different. Established stars such as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. (USN, Silver Star), Henry Fonda (USN, Bronze Star), and Clark Gable (USAAC) as well as emerging actors like Eddie Albert (USN, Bronze Star) and Tyrone Power (USMC) rushed to sign up for military service. As the majority of male leads left Hollywood to serve overseas, John Wayne saw an opportunity to vault into stardom. Despite enormous pressure from his inner circle of friends, he resisted. Wayne's fans have proffered a number of erroneous excuses over the years to explain away his lack of military service, but the facts are clear. The physical problems under football injury or damaged hearing were non-existent; Wayne himself never mentioned them. Others claim that Wayne was exempted from service due to his age (34) and family status. It is true that at the outbreak of World War II, Wayne was classified as 3-A (family deferment), but many of his contemporaries that signed up (like Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, and Ronald Reagan) were around his age, and married with families of their own. Gene Autry, who was also Wayne's age, gave an interview in 1942 that chastised Wayne for his refusal to enlist and provide an example for younger actors in Hollywood: "I think the He-men in the movies belong in the Army, Marine, Navy or Air Corps. All of these He-men in the movies realize that right now is the time to get into the service. Every movie cowboy ought to devote time to the Army winning, or to helping win, until the war is over - the same as any other American citizen. The Army needs all the young men it can get, and if I can set a good example for the young men I'll be mighty proud." As the war dragged on and Wayne's affair with Esperanza Baur alienated him from his family, Wayne's family deferment status appeared to be the first of many attempts to stave off the overwhelming pressure to enlist. During the early years of the war, his excuses ranged from mundane to ridiculous: he once claimed that Herbert J. Yates (the head of Republic) threatened him with a lawsuit if he walked away from his contract, despite the fact that no such thing ever happened to any actor, director, or cameraman throughout the entire war. In 1944, Wayne was reclassified as 1-A (draft eligible), but his lawyers convinced the draft board to change his status to 2-A (deferred for reasons national interest). He remained 2-A until the war's end. (InLikeErrol 16:52, 15 June 2007 (UTC))
 * As I said, I don't know whether it is or not. I only came across these edits because of the edits you made to the Georges. What you need to do is back up your claims with hard references and reliable sources and then take it back to the article talk page. DrKiernan 16:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but you need to be careful now, there is a rule called the Three Revert Rule, which means you may not revert an article more than three times in a day. If you do, you can be automatically blocked. DrKiernan 16:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

No wonder Sir Winston refused to meet Wayne in 1956. (InLikeErrol 17:05, 15 June 2007 (UTC))
