Pop culture

I added info about a stage play that has been produced multiple times in the US, that features Parker as a main character, and it was removed. Can anyone explain why? It seems like a more important appearance than a brief aside on a TV show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belmontian (talk • contribs) 19:32, 13 July 2018 (UTC) Belmontian (talk) 19:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'Lede too long' tag

Currently the lede is about 5% of the length of the article. I regard that as a suitable proportion. It may be that you feel the main article is too long. Valetude (talk) 22:15, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Would not be able to return to U.S.?

I see mention of problems with citizenship and passport. Elsewhere, I heard comment that he was concerned about not being able to re-enter U.S. if he left, and is this comment worked in here? Carlm0404 (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

emigrated illegally

Is this necessary at the opening of the lead? It reads very awkwardly. Many people began in the U.S. as undocumented immigrants. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 22:17, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and seriously, this article needs a massive rewrite, and this webpage ^[1] is very helpful in clearing up the misconceptions and myths about the Colonel. 220.244.15.201 (talk) 03:08, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Colonel Van Kuijk

Tom Parker was a fictional name. We should probably stop referring to him as that.

-== Trivia ==
-There seem to be some items of dubious importance in the section "Portrayals and popular culture: Television" (incidentally, should that read "Portrayals <u>in</u> popular culture"?). Is it really encyclopedia-worthy, for instance, that "Parker was mentioned in the TV series The Simpsons, season 21 in episode number 9 ("Thursdays with Abie")" or that "Parker is also mentioned in the fifth episode of Archer Vice, entitled "Southbound and Down""?
