Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 20 January 2021 and 30 April 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): FWZ BHR, PCBWV.

Changes in the "Career" section[edit]

I think that this section is too crowded with movie/tv series titles and would like to narrow the selection to Curb your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development and Friends (The most well-known three out of the filmography).

I would also add Wings as his debut TV series appearance (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/sam_pancake)

In addition, I would write a few sentences on his role in LA stage shows (https://www.mondayafternoonmovie.com/about)

Personal Life Reworked[edit]

I changed the sentence about where Pancake went to high school to also state what city it was in and added a reference to support this. I also removed the sentence "Pancake is gay." and added in a new one which tells when he considers he came out of the closet. Lastly I removed a source that linked to a 404 Not Found page. Edits made on 3/4/2021 PCBWV (talk) 20:23, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the section for now. Nothing that is said in it appears to be verified in the source given. Nothing about sisters, children, nothing about being "one of the very openly gay", nothing about claiming he most often portrays gay characters. Can sources be found for all this? --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 21:00, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction edits[edit]

I think the introduction lacks information in general, the sentence "Sam Pancake is an American actor, improvisor, writer, and comedian. He lives in Los Angeles" is not descriptive. For example, a reader would want to know about his education, family members, marital status and the degrees he had before becoming an actress.

I would suggest to add more information from credible websites. For example, since Pancake is the host for "Monday afternoon movie", it would make sense that their website is a credible source for such personal information.
