[edit] Steven Spielberg
Alansohn, please stop removing references to Steven Speilberg. Several sites state he lived in Haddonfield, not in Haddon Heights. Here are a few: http://www.wireimage.com/Celebrities/Steven-Spielberg http://www.thelot.com/about/steven-spielberg/ http://www.filmmakers.com/artists/spielberg/biography/index.htm http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/shows/spielberg/timeline.html If you insist he was raised in Haddon Heights, please provide your proof. Otherwise I would like to re-add the entry, please. Agentdenim 19:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
- Here is the source I had added at Haddon Heights, New Jersey: Spielberg's family values, USA Today by Anthony Breznican, June 23, 2005. "I first became aware of the sky when my father pointed out the Perseid meteor shower to me when I was about 6 years old, living in Haddon Heights, N.J.," This quote seemed most definitive to me as a source, as it comes straight from the horse's mouth. I did a Google search on "raised in the suburbs of Haddonfield New Jersey and Scottsdale Arizona" and found multiple sites that all seem to use the same wording, including both the filmmakers.com and thelot.com sources you cited. I'd have more of a problem challenging the CNN.com reference, which is usually a reliable source. While I'd prefer to settle on one or the other, we do seem to have reliable sources for both. May I suggest that we say in both that there are source that he grew up in Haddonfield, but other sources say Haddon Heights, citing both sources and doing so at both articles. We should probably look for a more definitive source to pin down the location. I have still not seen any reliable reference to justify that the use of Haddonfield as a place name in movies is intentional. Alansohn 20:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I'll agree that's definitive. I'm content leaving it off if Spielberg himself said it. Thanks for the follow-up. Interesting side note, the Wikipedia entry for Steven Spielberg says he grew up in Haddon Township. Maybe this is one of them things that nobody will ever know. Heights it is, as far as I am concerned. Thanks again. Agentdenim 00:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Haddonfield Four?
Should I add a very short section on the famous scandal involving the Haddonfield Four? I'm sure it would be deleted for vanity-ness, but I still think it deserves a mention. Eszett 07:43, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Forgive my ignorance, but who were the "Haddonfield Four" and what was the scandal?
A few highschool students attempted to vandalize the Haddonfield teacher's eboards, were caught, and subsequently suspended. For some reason, these four kids and three or four of their friends think this is a "scandal" that anyone outside their circle cares about. It isn't. --SonicDeathMonk3y 23:10, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
