Nationality of Duncan Renaldo edit

This article describes him as "a native of Spain"; but his own article says he was born in Romania and doesn't mention Spain at all. Paul Magnussen (talk) 21:20, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

This article has been updated several times, so Spain is no longer mentioned; however, the following line is puzzling

Renaldo, a native of Romania, and Carrillo, a native of Los Angeles, were the first regular Hispanic television stars.

One could argue the simple replacement of "Latin" for "Hispanic" would be quick & accurate--Romanian is the closest modern language to Latin. Of course that would be linguistically correct, culturally misleading, and topically beside the point.) - 77th Trombone (talk) 19:30, 8 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
I adjusted the text to tie together what this & the 2 stars' Wp pages say. It's not a perfect fix, but it's less imperfect than the previous statement. - 77th Trombone (talk) 19:49, 8 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Kodachrome? edit

Kodachrome is highly stable, and will last decades with little or no change. But the episodes shown on Heroes cons are decidedly faded. Is this because the Kodachrome masters were transferred to a less-stable material, for distribution? WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 20:56, 1 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

The real Cisco Kid edit

"Here's O'Henry's favourite Robin Hood of the old West" the TV series promises us. The original story was a short story called "The Caballero's Way" in O'Henry's book 'Heart of the West' (free from Project Gutenberg) which had nothing to do with the TV character. The Cisco Kid portrayed in the book has no companion. He is a cold blooded killer. The story starts that he had killed six men in scrimmages, murdered twice as many and winged a large number more. Ranger Lt. Sandridge is sent to kill him (Cisco's very fast draw makes capture impossible). Told where he could find Cisco, he meets Tonia, Cisco's girlfriend. She falls for the Lieutenant (Cisco is very cold blooded) and some time after Cisco arrives quietly and catches the lovebirds together and hears Tonia tell him how to kill Cisco. He later tricks Sandridge into killing Tonia and rides away.(185.239.56.131 (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2020 (UTC))Reply
