Where is the movie called ricochet

I tried to find movie ricochet in which Denzel Washington starred along ice-t and John lithgow. It's also one of the memorable movies. 2001:8F8:1A3D:191B:75F8:C5E8:27FD:9A52 (talk) 19:32, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed in his filmography here. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:29, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You gotta correct an edit mistake because Katia Washington was born on November 27, 1987 not on November 27, 1986. Am I wrong? Please let me know if I am wrong. Google says that she was born on November 27, 1987.

Partly done: The existing sources in that section say nothing about any of his children's birthdates, so I removed them all as WP:OR. I don't see how they're necessary for the article, but they'll need to be sourced before being re-added. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 21:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Motivational journey topics on you tube

Are these given by Denzel Washington ? Is this approved by Denzel Washington? His thoughts or AI or misrepresentation of him? 50.106.166.0 (talk) 16:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m here on Wikipedia looking for answers to these same questions! There are literally dozens of such YouTube videos with images of Denzel and what sounds like his voice— something seems off although the content expressed is good. Soy~gabriella (talk) 01:04, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very likely AI; see this NBC article. (When I did a search on those motivational videos, one of the top results was https://www.tryparrotai.com/ai-voice-generator/denzel-washington ) Schazjmd (talk) 15:21, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, wow it says “Our AI text to speech technology gives you the power to clone voices”! Maybe this should be added to the info on Wikipedia about Denzel Washington? [ I wouldn’t know how to do that though ] 2603:8080:4B00:E600:F8EA:8F01:8D49:42CC (talk) 05:20, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We'd need a reliable independent source that covers it to make it significant enough to include in this article, and I couldn't find any. The NBC article mentions Washington in its lead but doesn't even give any examples of his appearance in deepfakes. Schazjmd (talk) 14:15, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Minister Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington has been baptized and received his minister’s license. He is now Minister Denzel Washington. FootballManiaPPURK (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the event to the Religious beliefs section with a source. Schazjmd (talk) 21:22, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "again in 2024" to "again in 2025" (the Presidential Medal of Freedom was actually awarded for the second time on Jan. 4, 2025) SumacP (talk) 20:05, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done QuicoleJR (talk) 20:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And fixed two more occurrences. Sorry, that was me not knowing what year it is. St Anselm (talk) 20:21, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. (Good job! I missed the other two!) SumacP (talk) 23:37, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
