Talk:Barret Oliver

New Short Video

Mr Oliver has recently (2012) produced a new short video and audio commentary for the Huntington Library, demonstrating the 19th century webplate process, in which he appears to be wearing a wedding ring (and has possibly set a record for the world's longest dreadlocks) http://huntington.org/civilwar/making19thcenturyphotographs.htm 203.39.81.8 (talk) 05:59, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Archived Barret Site?

Why is an archived (now defunct) Barret fansite from Geocities worth keeping? If we're going to keep the "Barret Oliver Archive" link at all, why not replace it with the link that actually works: www.barretoliverarchive.blogspot.com ? This site is #3 in the Google search results for this person, it makes more sense than keeping the old geocities site. That is, if it's even worth having at all. 24.60.36.152 (talk) 07:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Why did someone remove the photiography info!? It's relevant and correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.126.24.245 (talk) 06:35, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality issues

The tone of this article is too much "pro-Barret". Looking at sentences like: "..but the low production values in NTZ prevented Barret's efforts from making much critical impression.." and "...but by this time his natural charm and confidence in front of a camera was less conspicuous...", this article doesn't seem neutral or objective. 129.16.49.7 14:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Weasel Words

Agree re above - article reads more like a fan club bio than an encylopedia entry. I'll try to remove the weasel words and any uncited POV statements. have never even heard of the guy btw so don't have an agenda or anything Plutonium27 (talk) 12:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

First name spelling

Is his "stage name" Barret but his birth name spelled with 2 T's? Or is it a mistake? --SidP (talk) 20:22, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Lindsay Barret Oliver

Barret Spencer Oliver is the actor's name. There has been some speculation on the internet that he is actually someone called "Lindsay Barret Oliver" but this has never been verified.--Atlantictire (talk) 14:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Scientologist?

This article is categorized under "American Scientologists", but this is not mentioned or referenced in the text of the article. --Slashme (talk) 08:28, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Slashme There don't seem to be any reliable sources verifying he is/was a scientologist, so I removed the category. —PermStrump(talk) 04:07, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
