Please change the date to August 28th, 2016 - as his nephew stated he passed away on Sunday.
[[Special:Contributions/198.135.124.76|198.135.124.76]] ([[User talk:198.135.124.76|talk]]) 20:01, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
: Some sources say he died earlier this month. [[User:NorthernThunder|NorthernThunder]] ([[User talk:NorthernThunder|talk]]) 20:03, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
::Yes, and the phrase "earlier this month" is most unusual, and implies a degree of concealment by person or persons unknown. [[User:Harfarhs|Harfarhs]] ([[User talk:Harfarhs|talk]]) 21:39, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

==Conflicting dates of death==
It appears different sources are producing different deaths for his date, suggesting we leave them out till there is a clear cut date.
[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37215553 This] gives the 28th whereas [http://variety.com/2016/film/news/gene-wilder-dead-dies-willie-wonka-young-frankenstein-1201846745/ this] gives the 29th. [[User:Amortias|Amortias]] ([[User talk:Amortias|T]])([[Special:Contributions/Amortias|C]]) 20:11, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

His nephew told AP the 28th. AP reported the death was on the 28th in a story on the 29th. I assume that some are reporting the date the death was announced, not the date that was reported directly to the original source by the family [[User:DFS|DFS]] ([[User talk:DFS|talk]]) 20:19, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

:Hence my logic for giving it a bit, one of the sources is wrong but if we can get enough to get consensus go with that. [[User:Amortias|Amortias]] ([[User talk:Amortias|T]])([[Special:Contributions/Amortias|C]]) 20:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

This article says that Wilder died on August 28. This isn't true, he died on August 29.

== Sentence change. ==

In the '''1990-2000''' section: ''"It was Pryor's last starring role in a film (he appeared in a few cameos before his death in 2005) and also marked Wilder's last appearance '''to date''' in a feature film."''<br>

If no further film roles come to light, and I don't think any will, then ''"to date"'' should be deleted. Thank you, [[User:Wordreader|Wordreader]] ([[User talk:Wordreader|talk]]) 22:15, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

== Stagography? ==

I recall seeing Wilder in the 1972 film for TV "Scarecrow", an adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorn's "Feathertop". I saw it on KCET, I think Masterpiece Theater.

== Small query ==

I wonder if the order in the sentences

"Following his 1955 graduation from Iowa, he was accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol, England. After six months of studying fencing, Wilder became the first freshman to win the All-School Fencing Championship."

has got muddled? Did he win the fencing championship at Iowa? It doesn't seem likely it was at Bristol, as they don't have 'freshmen' there, and an 'All-School' championship sounds like an Americanism too - I doubt such a title would have been used at the Old Vic Theatre School. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/109.154.116.91|109.154.116.91]] ([[User talk:109.154.116.91|talk]]) 05:54, 30 August 2016 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Please amend to the correct 'Cambridge' ==

The section under the heading 'Early career' needs to be amended. The passage shown below requires adjustment because as it stands with just '[[Cambridge]]' in brackets it plainly refers to Cambridge in England, UK and not Cambridge, Massachusetts.

== Number of publications ==

In an interview at the 92nd Street Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezfVc5MGmIU) Gene Wilder says that the 6th book (after the 5th one, Something to Remember You By) is already finished, ready to be published. Is there another book published after 2013 that is missing from this list? [[User:Hotgardener|Hotgardener]] ([[User talk:Hotgardener|talk]]) 18:50, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

== Grammar: "was" vs. "were" ==

The section "1990s–2000s" included the following sentence: {{tq|Neither of his last two movies were financially successful.}}

{{u|Hifrommike65}} changed it to say "Neither of his last two movies was financially successful." {{u|Rcarter555}} reverted the edit, saying "Was correct before", and I've restored it based on my reading of ''The Grammar Bible'' by Michael Strumpf and Auriel Douglas. On page 184 of their book they say:
{{blockquote|Some indefinite pronouns are '''only singular''': ... neither, nobody ...}}
They give the example:
{{blockquote|'''Nobody''' knows where my dog has gone.}}
In my edit summary I cited page 188, which isn't as clear because it's talking about neither-nor rather than just neither. The example given on page 189 is:
{{blockquote|Neither John nor Bill agreed to tell '''his''' story to the reporters.}}
[[User:Strawberry4Ever|Strawberry4Ever]] ([[User talk:Strawberry4Ever|talk]]) 17:43, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

:Both are acceptable per http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/10304/which-is-correct-neither-is-or-neither-are. However Neither of his last two movies WAS financially successful just sounds wrong to my ear.

== Up and Coming Actor? ==

Merely a suggestion, but 'Star Wars' was released in 1977. I suppose Harrison Ford might have filmed 'The Frisco Kid' before the space opera's success was manifested - but it seems a little rich to call him 'an up and coming actor' in a film that was released in 1979. Doesn't it? Forgive me if I'm missing something!

wrong redirect

[edit]

the text "See No Evil, Hear No Evil" in the first paragraph wrongly redirects to "Three wise monkeys" and not the actual page for the film. 110.138.80.92 (talk) 03:11, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting the error. The correction has been made. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 03:49, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
