Greetings.
There is pertinent information lacking under the wrongful lawsuit section of this article that, without it's presence, does not clearly indicate why the lawsuits were wrongful. This article shows that in 2011, Jim Carrey's belated girlfriend already contracted STDs in 2011, years before Jim's test. This information is critical in the clarity of Jim's character and integrity and must be included in this article. Here is the link:
We should strive for total honesty in all information sharing. 2600:1700:3568:7850:78CA:475C:2A91:A13C (talk) 00:05, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

I only want to do just one edit. So, I know you (the members of Wikipedia) refer to the Canadian-American actor as 'James Eugene Carrey', but, since a lot of people out there call him Jim, I thought I could make just 1 edit on the first three words so that it can now say 'James "Jim" Eugene Carrey' instead. I did that before, under the name "35canary84". But, for some reason, my Chromebook deleted all of my tabs and my history. It kept my original login name but treated it like it was someone else, so I have to log in under a different name. But, I just want to check with you. So, this IS a message from 35canary84, except, I'm now logged out. That is all. I hope you get my point. 210.50.221.247 (talk) 07:04, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

New Market is not a suburb of Toronto. New Market is its town in Ontario Canada. It is part of the Greater Toronto Area, however it is a separate entity from Toronto. 45.2.79.2 (talk) 03:01, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Not done: Newmarket (not New Market) is a town which is suburban to Toronto. To say it is a suburb is not to say it is not a town. General Ization Talk 03:07, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

He has supposedly stopped acting in 2022 after losing interest and wamting more creative control.[1] According to his IMDB, his last two roles were Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and a The Weeknd music video. @AntiDionysius: 216.164.254.3 (talk) 02:51, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- The Variety article merely says Sonic 2 "may be" his last role; we would need a proper confirmation of retirement to include it on the page. AntiDionysius (talk) 02:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed the Variety piece is already cited in the text of the article. AntiDionysius (talk) 02:55, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Add to filmography: 'Once Bitten' (1985) Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Bitten_(1985_film) 2001:44C8:4071:FF83:17C8:423C:F042:744 (talk) 11:55, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- It is listed in the main article Jim Carrey filmography; the question is whether it should be listed in the "Selected filmography" section here. I wonder if there's a standard criteria for selection in cases like these... Liu1126 (talk) 12:35, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
