misc

If this article is explanded, it should be mentioned how he patterned his comedic acting style after that of Oliver Hardy. Most of his mannerisms, style of double-takes, looking at the camera frustratedly, etc. was copied from Hardy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.93.97 (talk) 07:03, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Birth date

Most sources say he was born in 1918. r430nb—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.92.36.60 (talk) 05:46, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

California birth index and Social Security death index both say 1921.--Fallout boy 08:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Deceased Nephew

I knew his grand nephew, Bart Hale. He died of cardiac arrythmia; must have been in 1991 or 1992. He was partying in Dallas one night, had taken ecstasy, and went into ventricular tachycardia in a parking lot. He was in his early 20's. Nice guy, although a little odd. Music major. A sad story.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.152.164.61 (talk) 20:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Going to Ad Alan Hale Jr. Adopted

Just in case there are some big Alan Hale Sr and Jr fans out there who might get mad, I am going to add the factoid that Alan Hale Jr. was adopted. I first learned of this when Turner Classic Movies was showing a series of his films and noted the fact and the uncanny resemblance between the two. (Someone do a DNA test quick.) The only reference I found on line was a New York Times reference, repeated elsewhere. So speak up quick if there's a problem!

Yeah, tell us another one (sarcasm intended).97.73.64.145 (talk) 20:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

A fact of this importance that has only one citation cannot be added to Wikipedia, according to policy. Find some reliable citations (such as published biographies), then you are free to add it. David Spector (talk) 20:51, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Dismabiguation

The disambiguation page states that Hale Jr. was born in 1918, but the article says 1921. Which is correct?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.205.232.52 (talk) 01:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Gilligan's Island Picture?

The article discusses how Hale is primarily known for Gilligan's Island...yet neither of the two pictures chosen are from GI... Afabbro 19:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Legacy

I read in a newspaper article years ago that Hale worked as a greeter in a Los Angeles restaurant (probably the one mentioned here) but didn't own it, contrary to what is stated as fact in the article. Eye.earth 18:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

One citation is not enough, when his ownership is stated in many external sources. Provide reliable references and the article can be changed. David Spector (talk) 20:54, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Championoftheworld.jpg

File:Championoftheworld.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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 21:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

very minor edit

The article, as written, called "Rescue From Gilligan's Island", quote, a "two-part episode", when it was actually a full TV movie, so I made the appropriate change. - Elsquared (talk) 08:48, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

CORRECTION (sort of) - I recall this film as a single movie, but I've just read another source that says it was two parts. I'm going to leave my original edit "as is", primarily because I think the use of the word "episode" was incorrect. - Elsquared (talk) 08:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Widely considered? Everybody loved him?

He is widely considered to be the greatest television actor of the 1960s according to the 1992 Bernozz Classic Television Survey and almost everybody loved him.

While I don't doubt this info (Alan Hale, Jr. was a great guy), could we get some citations backing up these statements? Does anyone have the results of this "Bernozz Classic Television Survey"? Otherwise, I'd suggest this text be omitted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.104.197.194 (talk) 17:29, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Hang 'Em High

Alan Hale also played a member of the lynch mob that attacks Clint Eastwood's character in the movie "Hang 'Em High". 24.57.249.250 (talk) 00:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Stating that a fact is true is not enough to support changing an article; you must provide reliable references. David Spector (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

How about the wikipedia article for Hang Em High which states that Alan Hale jr. is in the movie. From the article..."Alan Hale Jr. as Matt Stone, blacksmith, Cooper Hanging Party" http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Hang_%27Em_High71.108.137.148 (talk) 23:54, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
