This information is unattributed. JPS claims in a recent interview this is untrue. http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-patrick-shanley,22252/ --Scott.kelley (talk) 19:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup edit

Unless someone states why they think this needs cleanup, I think it can be taken down. --UVnet 06:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree! I think a) that this page is fine and b) that Mr. Shanley's "Joe vs. the Volcano" was a wonderful movie. --mvsopen 09:57, 14 April 2006 (PDT)

I didn't put the cleanup message up, but this article does need some serious help. The final paragraph of the body of the article has been thrown in and is unsourced. Quite a few more details could be added and a number of awards he has won are not mentioned. The titles should all be italicized as well. I'll try to clean it up later on today if I have time. *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 15:14, 22 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

It'd also be nice if the two lists were in the same chronological order, although I admit there's kind of a neat sense of traveling backwards through time and then back up to the present the way it's currently laid out...--NapoliRoma (talk) 19:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Personal bio edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In his creative bio for Doubt, Shanley writes: JOHN PATRICK SHANLEY (Playwright). John Patrick Shanley is from the Bronx. He was thrown out of St. Helena 's kindergarten. He was banned from St. Anthony's hot lunch program for life. He was expelled from Cardinal Spellman High School. He was placed on academic probation by New York University and instructed to appear before a tribunal if he wished to return. When asked why he had been treated in this way by all these institutions, he burst into tears and said he had no idea. Then he went in the United States Marine Corps. He did fine. He's still doing okay. Mr. Shanley is interested in your reactions. Please send your impressions to shanleysmoney@aol.com. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs) 05:20, 9 December 2006 (UTC).Reply

Removed a paragraph and corrected it edit

Latest comment: 4 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I removed the paragraph with the personal attack on the private life of John Patrick Shanley as it looks like a horrible personal attack in violation of person's privacy and the living biography and also doesn’t look like encyclopedic neutral style at all. I left only relevant information regarding this lawsuit. I had to remove two links of the yellow press during the lawsuit which described sexual details of the dismissed case as they appear a defamation of John Shanley: https://ew.com/article/2012/03/30/john-patrick-shanley-sued/ https://www.irishcentral.com/news/john-patrick-shanley-sued-over-violent-sexual-relationship-with-indie-actress-145352895-237438761

Please, let me know, how I did. I think it is totally unacceptable to describe sexual details for any person on Wikipedia but especially in the dismissed case.--Grundvaldbattle (talk) 00:33, 10 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
