Someone should mention his massive amount of voice over work for cartoons. He was "Granny Goodness"!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Sparky ( talk • contribs) 02:22, 18 July 2004 (UTC)
Could you stop deleting this? This is a notable and verifiable view she has, why are you deleting her views, and her apearance on a notable tv show? -- Striver 06:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Why are the Mumia references edited. They happen to be true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.92.27 ( talk) 21:28, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Ron Gold - cousin Labe Asner - brother ?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.136.213.160 ( talk) 15:19, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
This says his birth name is Yitzak Eddie Asner. Googling, I find there are many websites that support his birth name as either Yitzak or Yitzhak. Others, however, such as IMDB, say nothing about the Yitzak name, and say that Ed is not short for Eddie but for Edward. What's the truth? -- JackofOz 00:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Heard Charlton Heston died today and was reading a little bit about him and I noticed it mentioned many conflicting feuds with Ed Asner regarding his political views, thought it would be a good idea to maybe add something about it as I came here to find a little more information on it.-- Papajohnin ( talk) 08:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi — I have included the following template on the article's page, because Ed Asner has been (and is currently) included in the list of "Notable proponents and supporters" of alternative theories on 9/11. In his letter addressed to peace and justice activists, which is cited in the article, he states:
In the letter, Ed Asner urges an investigation into the possible complicity of high-ranking U.S. officials in the 9/11 event. As the template has just been deleted from the page, I'm starting this talk page discussion so that we can build consensus on whether it should or should not be included in the article. Cs32en 05:00, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
The citation of Asner's own detailed description of his birth and birth name in his on-camera interview with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is valid, despite the fact that the link goes to Youtube. The Academy uses Youtube as a conduit for its published interview archive. This is not some random clip copied from god-knows-where, it's the official archive of the TV Academy, intended to be the information of record on it subjects. To reject it because it links through Youtube is carrying Youtube discrimination too far. A cite from the subject's own words should carry more weight than contradictory information from a less reliable source. Monkeyzpop ( talk) 03:27, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
He was also in KID GALAHAD. He played a detective. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.218.185.177 ( talk) 20:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
Please add under television "Hot in Cleveland" (2012)appearing with Betty White — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.216.226 ( talk) 15:43, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
As his filmography was three full pages even divided into columns, I moved it into its own article, Filmography of Ed Asner. If a better title makes sense, please move it. Thanks! Thargor Orlando ( talk) 04:21, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move per request.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 04:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
Edward Asner → Ed Asner – Ed is what he is commonly known as - a search for "ed asner" on Google produced about 1,200,000 results, while "Edward Asner" gets significantly less (558,000). IMDB also shows he is usually credited as Ed Asner. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 19:56, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
I have removed claims that Mr. Asner is affiliated with the socialist party or a Democratic-Socialist type party. It is unsupported by a citation. The citation listed does not mention this claim. Furthermore, the citation itself has not been updated since 1996. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catherinejarvis ( talk • contribs) 15:14, 27 March 2014
I am once again going to remove this unsupported claim. The source is frontpagemag, and a simple view of its website demonstrates that it is not a reliable source; it's front page banner says "every liberal is a totalitarian." A reliable source (essential to Wikipedia articles) would be a print newspaper like the Los Angeles Times or Washington Post, or a national magazine like Time, Variety, Entertainment Weekly or People. Does Mr. Asner himself ever say he is part of this group? Even the group's website does not mention Asner as a member. Furthermore, the revert was made by an anonymous user who's only contribution to Wikipedia was on the Ed Asner site. Catherinejarvis ( talk) 23:37, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
A claim under Personal Life says he was involved in the organization Autism Speaks, but the cited reference discusses his support of The Help Group, not Autism Speaks. I found evidence that he hosted an annual poker game to benefit Autism Speaks, and he's spoken publically in defense of them, but neither of these facts is mentioned in the cited reference. He was also involved with a lot of charities, including his own Ed Asner Family Center, which help people with autism, and don't have the same level of controversy as Autism Speaks. Perhaps the full scope of his work to help those with autism should be mentioned, instead of just a false citation tying him to a controversial organization?

I'm opening this up so we can talk about this change.
Fact is, Ed Asner played (or voiced) Santa Claus four times. It says so on the IMDB link that I added, and also in the Ed Asner filmography.
There's no controversy over this being true and I don't think anyone has suggested that it's not notable. What's it going to take to get everyone to agree to keep it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.152.65 ( talk) 19:31, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
You're projecting. I don't know you, but you've been reverting my changes on many unrelated articles while insulting me. Please go away, I'm trying to improve this article. 24.47.152.65 ( talk) 22:13, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Unfortunately, Jesse is edit-warring by ignoring the discussion here. And he's got an administrator who's willing to protect him at all costs, so I expect to be banned. 24.47.152.65 ( talk) 01:54, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
I should have posted this here earlier, before any other earnest editors waste their time trying to convince 24.47.152.65 how to edit constructively and what types of info go in the lede, they literally don't care about the article's topic or disputed content and are only adding it because I undid a different IP's edit of the same a week prior and they are only concerned with proving me wrong about anything, as laid out in the ANI here. Just wanted to give others a head's up. JesseRafe ( talk) 12:52, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
An editor has unilaterally claimed that, because the related Encyclopedia Britannica article – which I will note is titled "Ed" Asner – provides Edward as another name by which he is referred, this article should be given the Edward name. No other sources are provided. While the Britannica article uses "Edward" in its photo captions, its article text merely states he is "also called Edward Asner". In reverting my revert, the editor wrote that "Asner has been vocal about his professional name being Edward, not Ed", yet provides no source. Per WP:COMMONNAME, it is one's common name that is to be used for an article title. Please further discuss/support this issue here so we can reach a consensus. — ADavidB 09:31, 2 December 2019 (UTC)
