[edit] Heathcliff & Marmaduke

Fix the link to James Bradley. The guy you're linking to has been dead 250 years and is clearly not the director of a movie about World War Two! 151.191.175.233 21:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Geoffrey

I was watching this show on Boomerang and found it interesting that Paul Haggis was a writer on this series.

What in the world does the food "haggis" have to do with Paul Haggis?

This article is in need of some sourcing. He is listed as a scientologist, yet his IMDb profile gives no indication of his religion. --Mr. Cool 02:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I second that. There needs to be some fact-checking regarding Haggis and a large number of purported Scientologists. Smokey Russell 21:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

His name is listed here: http://www.adherents.com/largecom/fam_scientologist.html74.98.243.253 17:03, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Haggis recent visit to London

Hello,

During Mr. Haggis recent visit to London and subsequent visit to HB Beal SS, my wife met and talked with Mr. Haggis reflecting on the 'old days' attending Beal. Mr. Haggis provided my wife Joan with his card and email contact information, to keep in touch and forward him some old picture of himself and my wife while attending HB Beal SS. Joan have lost this card and would like to send Paul these photos. Is there any way to receive his email and/or contact information to provide these items?

Thank you for your consideration. I have provided our information below.

Sincerely,
David & Joan Fleming

I would suggest contacting his father, Ted. He's in the phone book on Riverside. Barry Wells 00:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Filmography

Why no comprehensive listing of films he's written, and directed? -Werideatdusk33 06:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] His father

"Haggis is the son of the late Mary and Ted Haggis, one-time owners of London, Ontario's former Gallery Theatre at 36 York Street". This makes it sound like both parents are deceased but from further down in the article it appears his father is still living. Should this be reworded to something link "son of Teg Haggis and his late wife Mary, one-time owners..."? Sorry if this is good grammar already.... (unsigned added by 172.189.143.238)

[edit] Poorly sourced/irrelevant material removed

Over a year and half is long enough for the unsourced material to wait it. Also, removed some pointless section about a photography contest which sounded like it was written by the winner ("Who is still awaiting her prize...")

Started filmography section, but had not intended to actually edit when I came to the article so I must leave off for others to complete and check the wiki links to the articles for those films/shows to make sure they are the intended ones. Thanks SteveCoppock 19:14, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scientologist?

There's nothing on the page about him being a scientologist, except the category. Does anyone have a source? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Diff'rent Strokes

If I'm correct Paul Haggis was involved in this show too. I just saw the pedophile episode, and saw his name on the end creidts.
