Why doesn’t this page mention his doctoral degree?

Important to show he earned a doctoral degree. 47.28.112.18 (talk) 03:28, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shaq and Academy Awards

I report that Shaq has not won any oscars. The "executive" producers do not win the Oscars and, moreover, they are not even nominated, of course. I don't think newspaper headlines are meaningful when there are official sources (for example the Oscars website: Shaquille O'Neal wasn't nominated). I can't edit because I'm not an autoconfirmed user, but it should be done. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lovethisgame97 (talk • contribs) 20:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eight Field Goal Title. It should be "eighth." And that's just the start
