Please credit sources. Removed unencyclopedic bit about "Charmed" in the Trivia section. Adding one guest TV show credit is hardly interesting trivia, Wikipedia is not IMDB.

Splinter cell

How do we KNOW that he is going to be Irving Lambert in the upcoming splinter cell movie?? yeah foo's! harry potter--71.192.193.55 (talk) 23:10, 27 May 2010

Name

He is typically credited as "James Avery", so I don't really think the middle initial and "Senior" are necessary. For disambiguation purposes, I think the article should be "James Avery (actor)". What do you think? --T smitts (talk) 16:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a disambiguation page for James Avery. It includes James L. Avery, Sr. and James Avery (sailor). I agree that the middle initial and senior are unnecessary and even burdensome to use. Perhaps someone should change the page to James Avery (actor), as is normal when there are several similar names all associated with different things.

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 20:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since James L Avery Sr is typically requested as simply James Avery, I think it would be better to move this article to James Avery (actor), since his middle initial and senior really appear to be unnecessary and not-so user-friendly. Therefore I think we should move this article.--EclipseSSD (talk) 20:11, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fresh Prince

How in the hell does the career section of this article not even mention that he was Uncle Phil, the role for which he was best known? -Mike Payne (T • C) 18:40, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Death

News sources are reporting that he died on December 31, 2013. [1] 108.14.255.165 (talk) 19:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can verify that as well. Read here. 99.95.221.248 (talk) 14:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am seeing this in several reliable sources. I think a correction will be in place soon.—John Cline (talk) 19:22, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Further, it appears that the sources cited do not state 1 January 2014 as the date of death; rather, those Wikipedia editors are reading the date of the article and assuming that to be the date of death. Edits changing the date to 31 December 2013, however, seem to be hastily reverted to the revision showing 1 January 2014. 76.175.17.28 (talk)

Semi-protected edit request on 1 January 2014

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at James Avery. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
