What is his true birthday? Sources seem split upon him being 92 years old when he died, or being born in 1922? 142.207.79.170 ( talk) 09:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
His parents' names are documented by his birth record as cited. The name of the episode on which he appeared on the Monkees is sourced by the episode itself. The fact that he was in the movie The Shakiest Gun in the West is also evidenced by the movie itself (i.e. source = recorded media) and it is also in the Wikipedia page about the movie (if it's not valid here then it can't be valid there either). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Gruber ( talk • contribs) 18:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Binksternet appears to have no regard for whether something is factual and has undone these edits by Tim Gruber and myself and even seems to go out of his way to undo other edits in their entirety we have done regardless of the subject or article and no matter what the edits are. The fact is Carl Ballantine was in the movie McHale's Navy (1964 film). It is a fact that his character in the movie and in the TV series was Lester Gruber (which he was most famous for and his name and character's names are listed on the Wikipedia pages for these two subjects). The fact is he was in the particular episode of the TV series The Monkees as indicated. He was in the movie The Shakiest Gun in the West (his name is even listed on the Wikipedia page about the movie). These are facts that can be found on any detailed website about the movies or TV series. I didn't cite them because their source is pretty the same as mine, the actual videos of the movies and TV series themselves (in other words I suggest not betting any money that these assertions about Carl Ballantine are wrong). I don't know if these facts were ever written in any published book, magazine or newspaper by some scholar or author as Binksternet demands. But watch the shows and the movies and there is no dispute. Why not say so? His birth record shows his parents which would be acceptable in any court and by any professional genealogist (like me). In fact such a record would be taken as the best proof of his parentage (certainly far more than any newspaper article which are notorious for mistakes). But Binksternet decided that was unacceptable because it wasn't published in some book, magazine or newspaper by a scholar or author or other source he considers acceptable according to his fanatical interpretation of how Wikipedia works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.121.102.98 ( talk • contribs)
They are right about the vigilantism. Binksternet seems more concerned with who does an edit than the content. As a member of LDS I resent Binksternet's his dismissive attitude about familysearch.org. And may I point out that Wikipedia is run by volunteers and only volunteers. Should we be as dismissive of Wikipedia as he has been about familysearch? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.186.129.33 ( talk) 15:44, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
