Cause of Jack's death[edit]

Is there any confirmation that it was indeed cardiac arrest that killed Jack? Every obituary that I read said he had died of a heart attack. I know many get the two confused. Just wondering. 72.92.210.44 (talk) 09:44, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 23:14, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Barry (television personality) → Jack Barry (game show host) – Not nearly as bad a dab as (entertainer), and (television personality) could work for many bios, but in this case does not do as well per WP:AT's five WP:CRITERIA as a title for this bio, particularly per No 2. Naturalness "....actually called". "Jack Barry" + "game show host" = 58 results and seem to be more normal text contexts than "Jack Barry" + "television personality" = 8 results.

Should comment that this is largely an experiment to see if such an improvement in a dab is controversial or not. Lack of interest suggests that it probably isn't, but isn't greatly wanted/needed either. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:36, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

After the Scandal[edit]

The second section, after "Early Life" is "After the Scandal" There obviously is missing information between these sections, about the "scandal". 108.225.17.141 (talk) 14:27, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
