This article has been edited in the last week with what is obviously text from Jim Stafford's press kit ("the hits just kept coming"?) and is now completely non-NPOV. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.234.155 (talk) 02:13, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently editing it for Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms; it was rewritten for promotional purposes, but the parties doing it were transparent about their identity, and they deserve credit for that... hence the good sense of the general admonitions in Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest). Those good folks should surely be able to supply a photo. DavidOaks (talk) 22:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still need personal info -- schooling, year married, wife's maiden name -- standard stuff. I cut down on laundry lists (much more prominent people do not have discographies, certainly not complete track listings), and followed a policy (I've heard mentioned, but not seen codified) of not giving identifying details of prominent people's minor children. With this material, it would be possible to produce an infobox. DavidOaks (talk) 23:23, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

"The singer, songwriter and lifelong cross-dresser"????

1 Is this accurate?
2 Citation needed!

Not that there's anything wrong with it, it just seems to be a weird sentence and totally irrelevent, especially under the "Live Performer" heading. Who cares? Is it in his act?

In fact, I'm just going to remove that line until/unless it is substantiated with a citation from a reliable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.86.30 (talk) 18:12, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

can anyone clarify? hello?

I broke out the Scovell allegation. But then I saw a conflict in logic, claiming it happened at a wrap party for a "variety special," and that Scovell thereafter "lost her job as the show went into a second season."

That likely cannot occur. It would be extremely unusual for a special to have seasons, the former being usually one-time events, and less commonly recurring annually. Has VF been correctly paraphrased?

Spiders & Snakes album?

Both Billboard magazine (28 December 1974 "Talent in Action" special, page 24) and the book "American entertainment : a unique history of popular show business" by Joseph Csida (page 433) list an album by Jim Stafford titled Spiders & Snakes under the label MGM, which they state was #9 on the 1974 Billboard Year-End Country Albums chart. This title is not listed in the albums section of this article. Is it the same album as Jim Stafford, which the song "Spiders & Snakes" is from? If so, how come it has a different title?

“Spiders and Snakes” was released as a single on a 45 inch record and sold 3 million copies. That’s likely what you saw 2601:152:980:8090:AC31:86C8:E887:CAAC (talk) 06:20, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His first television appearance

The article says Stafford’s first TV appearance was in 1974. YouTube has videos of him on the Smothers Brothers, which ran in the mid ‘60s. I don’t know if either was his earliest TV appearance. 206.190.194.189 (talk) 00:16, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He appeared on the second Smothers Brothers series, which aired in the 70s/80s 2601:152:980:8090:AC31:86C8:E887:CAAC (talk) 06:19, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
