More info on Japan needed[edit]

The image caption mentions him being "big in Japan" but the article fails to mention this. In order for fair use of the image to be justified, this fact needs to be addressed in the article, too. 23skidoo 13:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Birthdate[edit]

This reliable source says it's July 11, 1933. Which is it? --Jnelson09 15:32, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sources[edit]

I stumbled across a good source for this article: [1]. This would be a relatively easy article to tackle. In that vein, other good sources would include Street Gang by Michael Davis and A Celebration by Louise Gikow. Christine (talk) 13:19, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cause of Death[edit]

IMDb currently says Bob died of natural causes, and I do not doubt that because he was so old. Cbsteffen (talk) 07:19, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source. Like Wikipedia, it is based on public submissions, but unlike Wikipedia, it does not require a source. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:46, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Master of ceremonies at University of Michigan's Glee Club 150th anniversary celebration weekend?[edit]

This statement was removed from section Other Accomplishments:

"McGrath also served as master of ceremonies at the Glee Club's 150th anniversary celebration weekend."

I'm sure it is true as it corresponds to other sources stating he was a member of this glee club and he was given an award by them, but can't find a decent source. It can be put back if one can be found. SitcomyFan (talk) 13:16, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

False credit removed, 3:10 to Yuma[edit]

Bob McGrath was not an uncredited voice in 3:10 to Yuma, please ignore any sources that claim that he was. The film was set a decade before the invention of radio, and three decades before scheduled radio broadcasts. -- Zanimum (talk) 00:45, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
