[edit] Headline text
- You might want to think twice about putting your personal information on this site. I am nearly certain Mary Tyler Moore doesn't actaully read here. I'm sure there are actually productive ways to try and contact her, such as through her agent. Putting your message here is the rough equivalent of scribbling a note for someone next to the entry about them in an encyclopedia in a library. Both unproductive and needlessly self-relevatory on your part. Moncrief 18:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Why did Wendy Williams on her radio show tonight announce to the world that Mary Tyler Moore was diagnosed with a brain tumor? Is there any truth to this?
[edit] Article's biggest need
What the article needs worst that it doesn't yet have IMO is sourced material stating the reasons that MTM's series television work post-Mary Tyler Moore Show has failed so conspicuously. The generally-given (and apparently correct) reason is that these shows are not The Dick Van Dyke Show or The Mary Tyler Moore Show and that her characters are not Laura Petrie or Mary Richards and that this is what the public wants to see her as. (This seems just to apply to TV series; she has done great in other formats.) This, to me, is unfortunate, as some of these shows would probably have done well if not for constant comparison to truly superior previous work. (I think that the same applies to The New Dick Van Dyke Show with Dick and Hope Lange; it would have been thought to have been a fine program except for constant comparisons to his earlier one.) So, does anyone have a published source for this, and if so would you please add it to the article? Rlquall 21:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hey, this has been messed with
Under theater, someone has erased Mary Tyler's biography and replaced it with the phrase "stupid retard." I would fix this, but I know nothing about Mary Tyler Moore's history in theater.

[edit] brother
On biogrphy it said she tried to assist her terminally ill brother with a sucicide attempt but it failed and he died soon after of cancer. Anyone now what they tried? How she avoided legal trouble? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.206.165.1 (talk) 05:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mtm show 1.jpg
Image:Mtm show 1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Poor formatting
I think that we probably ought to post the Wikify template. I notice some serious problems with the formatting of this page, but I unfortunately don't know enough MediaWiki formatting code to be able to fix it. On my wide screen (1280*800), the page has a horizontal scroll bar because the image formatting within the Filmography section. For instance, the image MTM_and_IDS.jpg is obscuring the Films column of the Filmography section. Like I said earlier, I'm not too familiar with MediaWiki formatting to be able to fix it.
