Goldbergs

This page says Kove was in Episode 16 of Goldbergs Season 4, not 17: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Goldbergs_episodes#Season_4_(2016%E2%80%9317) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.74.136.57 (talk) 00:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

I removed "Martin Kove is a karate expert in real life and is a Vietnam Veteran". I think people are confusing Kove with his character, John Kreese, in the Karate Kids.

Time Lock

The Time Lock that Martin Kove was in appears to be a remake; the article links to Time Lock, an early Sean Connery film from 1957.

Fair use rationale for Image:Martinkove.jpg

Image:Martinkove.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Murder, She Wrote

Heh, I've just noticed this evil sensei in episode 20 of Murder, She Wrote. Correctrix (talk) 23:51, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Ortega

Why is tonyortega.org considered a reliable source here Jaydoggmarco ? Gareth1893 (talk) 21:16, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

He is a expert on scientology and has a lot of inside information. He was also the editor-in-chief of The Village Voice. Jaydoggmarco (talk) 23:32, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Inside information" seems dubious. If he truly is an expert wouldn't his claims be posted somewhere more reliable than a blog? Gareth1893 (talk) 22:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

His information has posted elsewhere but not a lot of mainstream sources want to take on scientology due to their army of lawyers. Jaydoggmarco (talk) 23:06, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If the information is posted elsewhere shouldn't we reference these reliable sources instead of blogs? Gareth1893 (talk) 15:27, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Ortega is a RS in this context, Ortega broke the news on Leah Remini and Beck leaving Scientology. Any other media covering this have used Ortega as a source. Jaydoggmarco (talk) 22:40, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate.

Reverted last edit as no source was added. This page lists his birthday as March 6, 1946. Reliable source or no? https://www.tvovermind.com/martin-kove/ Ala Bahma (talk) 00:54, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. --Hipal (talk) 03:25, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I dug through the article history and found some references that had been removed [1]. Anyone see problems with using them? --Hipal (talk) 03:46, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found an interview with Martin dated March 2, 2021, where he says that he would be turning 74 on March 6 of that year, which would mean he was born on March 6, 1947. However, when I tried to use it as a source to update his birthdate on Wikipedia, I got a message saying that the site, Smashing Interviews Magaine, is on Wikipedia's blacklist and can't be used. Anyone have any other ideas? MusicMan922 (talk) 21:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adopted

Martin Kove was just on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast. In the last 15min, Kove talks about being adopted. The "born into" wording is obviously wrong. Hope someone fixes it... Avisopine (talk) 04:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
