Why Does This Article Seem to Attract the Haters?

edit

A few times now, I've had to edit this article to remove incredibly obvious weasel words and biases against Robert McKimson. Look, I don't care if you find the director to be inferior to other Termite Terrace directors, but leave it out of the article. It isn't factual that McKimson was a mediocre director (that's an opinion), so it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Additionally, when articles are written in this soapbox manner, it gives the whole article the feel of one person's opinion, which is the exact opposite of how a website devoted to facts should be.

Number of relatives

edit

I don’t understand the meaning or usefulness of his summary table stating that he had “6 relatives.” His father, Charles, died with 8 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren, in addition to a wife, the subject of this bio, and his 3 siblings. That makes 21 known fairly close relatives. But countless distant cousins would also be considered relatives. I suggest removing that entry unless there is a good explanation of how the figure is derived. Notable relatives, if any, should be named and linked in the text. I checked censuses and his father’s obituary, but the table entry is unsourced. Edison (talk) 20:56, 2 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
