Talk:Teddy Geiger

Craig T. Nelson

The twice-appended reference to Geiger as a teen idol is unencyclopedic inasmuch as it is unsourced and non-NPOV (in its ascription of the appellative "seasoned" to sundry critics). If the editor who desires that the info should be in the article would kindly cite a source, I (and others, I'm sure) would be much appreciative; in the meanwhile, I am left only with a Google search from which one would infer that not many critics at all are making reference to Geiger in the context of Nelson.

Homosexuality Portion

Someone deleted it for some reason. Most likely some teenage girl who doesn't want to believe their dream guy is gay. Anyone want to put it back up? --72.226.224.251 02:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No. We should not add information like that without a reference. Hyenaste 10:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm definitely not a teenage girl. I removed it because it looked like a smear. If Rolling Stone had outed Geiger it would have been all over the local newspaper. Further: homosexuality being caused by sexual abuse? It doesn't even make sense. In all, if you contend it's true, you MUST provide a direct quotation, or at the very least give a more precise citation than just "Rolling Stone" so that the quotation can be reviewed.

I didn't put that line back up. And apparently you don't understand human psychology if you think that child/sexual abuse doesn't affect someone's lifestyle further in life. But it doesn't have to be added again if we don't have a reference. Fair enough. --72.226.224.251 14:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't suggest you did replace the line. I also didn't suggest that sexual abuse doesn't affect someone later in life. However, the conclusion that it can result in homosexuality is not, AFAIK, supported by the research, and in fact is more commonly used as a misconception by anti-gay bigots. Not to suggest that you or anyone else IS one, just to say that the statement as added read like an attempt at a smear based on a misconception of the nature of homosexuality.

Search?

I just searched for this entry and it didn't show up for wikipedia. Is there something wrong with it? Is it case sensitive? Because I typed "teddy geiger" and nothing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.55.10.32 (talk • contribs) .

Works for me. teddy geiger is a redirect to this article. Powers 15:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Edits

I edited out just a few little things. They seemed to be personal comments by someone, basically just calling Teddy a freak and then saying he was ugly. I didn't think that was necessary. Skin crawl 17:14, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, thats known as vandalism, and it is very common around here. See WP:VAND. Powers 18:36, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
